System Architecture

Month 1: Foundation & Documentation (February 2026)

Document Current State (24h)

Architecture doc (system design, data flow, security model, deployment topology)
API docs (Bridge endpoints, Edge endpoints, WebSocket protocol, plugin interface)
Code docs (inline docstrings, README, configuration reference)

Stabilize & Test Current State (48h)

Unit tests: message serialization, req_id matching, base64 encoding, error handling
Integration tests: end-to-end flow, WebSocket reconnection, plugin loading, concurrent requests
Error handling: graceful disconnection/reconnection, timeouts, better logging/errors

Development Infrastructure (24h)

CI/CD: automated testing, linting (ruff, mypy), Docker builds
Dev environment: mock edge service, integration test environment for lucid, xgfabric

Month 2: Multi-Edge & Multi-Client Support (March 2026)

Multi-Edge Service Support (56h)

Registry: persistent edge registry (edge_uid → metadata), health monitoring (heartbeat), capability advertising, dynamic routing
Load balancing: route by capability, round-robin/failover
Testing: multiple edges concurrent, failover scenarios, load distribution

Multi-Client Support (28h)

Auth: API key/token auth, client identity
Isolation: client-to-edge authorization, request routing by permissions, audit logging
Sessions: client WebSockets (notifications), session state

Monitoring & Observability (12h)

Metrics: request count/latency/errors, active WebSockets, edge health
Logging: structured logs, request tracing (correlation IDs)
Monitoring: expose metrics to client / portal

Month 3: Plugin Framework & Base Class (April 2026)

Plugin Base Class Design (20h)

Interface: required methods (register_routes(), get_namespace(), initialize(), cleanup()), optional methods (on_edge_connect(), health_check()), lifecycle mgmt, config schema
Discovery/loading: plugin registry, dynamic loading, dependency mgmt, version checks
Isolation: route namespaces, resource quotas, error isolation

Plugin Base Class Implementation (40h)

Core class: EdgePlugin(ABC) with abstract/concrete methods
Manager: load/unload plugins, state mgmt, config handling
Utilities: auth/authz decorators, serialization helpers, logging utils

Reference Plugin & Testing (28h)

Example: "Hello World" plugin demonstrating all features, well-documented
Testing: test harness, mock edge service, radical.lucid migration to base class
Docs: plugin dev guide, API reference, best practices

Security Review (8h)

input validation requirements, auth patterns

Month 4: Core Plugins - Lucid & Rhapsody (May 2026)

Radical Lucid Plugin (28h)

Refinement: API spec review, use plugin base class, error handling, input validation, performance optimization
Testing: unit tests (all endpoints), integration tests (Lucid backend), load testing
Docs: API docs, usage examples, deployment guide

Radical Rhapsody Plugin (40h)

Requirements: Rhapsody exposure needs, auth requirements, data flow patterns
API spec: endpoints, schemas (OpenAPI), WebSocket needs
Implementation: plugin base class, backend integration, error handling, validation
Testing: unit tests, integration tests (Rhapsody backend), e2e workflows
Docs: API docs, usage guide, integration examples

Integration & Stack Testing (28h)

Stack: Docker Compose orchestration, K8s manifests (if applicable), env config, secrets mgmt
E2E testing: multi-plugin scenarios, plugin interactions, load testing
Docs: production deployment guide, monitoring/troubleshooting, backup/recovery

Month 5: Additional Plugins - XGFabric, ATOMIC, ROSE (June 2026)

XGFabric Plugin (28h)

API spec (endpoints, models, auth) (8h), implementation (backend integration, error handling) (14h), testing & docs (6h)

ATOMIC Plugin (28h)

API spec (8h), implementation (14h), testing & docs (6h)

ROSE Plugin (28h)

API spec (8h), implementation (14h), testing & docs (6h)

Month 6: Advanced Features & Production Readiness (July 2026)

MCP Endpoint Integration (38h)

Analysis: MCP spec review, integration points, adapter layer design (8h)
Implementation: expose Edge as MCP tools, map plugins to MCP resources, tool/resource discovery (16h)
Client integration: Claude/MCP client support, auth/authz, rate limiting (8h)
Testing & docs: protocol compliance, Claude integration, multi-client scenarios, integration guide (6h)

AMSC Integration Evaluation (20h)

Analysis: requirements (data flow, auth, performance), integration design (plugin vs core), API/security model (12h)
PoC: minimal implementation, performance/security testing, go/no-go decision (8h)

Production Hardening (28h)

Security: audit all components, penetration testing (if available), CVE scanning, secrets mgmt review, TLS hardening (10h)
