# Data Flow & Integrations

Explain how data enters, moves through, and exits the system, including interactions with external services.

## High-level Flow
The system follows a modular architecture where data flows through several key components:

1. **Input Layer**: Data enters primarily through the `app/` directory (web interfaces/APIs) and `bin/` (CLI tools)
2. **Processing Core**: Business logic is handled in `lib/` with database operations managed via `db/`
3. **Integration Points**: External services connect through `config/` (configuration) and `enterprise/` (enterprise features)
4. **Output Layer**: Results are served through `public/` (static assets) and various API endpoints

Internal Movement

The system uses a combination of direct function calls and event-driven patterns:

• Synchronous Flow: Most internal communication happens through direct module imports between app/, lib/, and db/
• Asynchronous Components: Background jobs are managed through the script/ directory and scheduled tasks
• Shared State: Database models in db/ serve as the primary data store with config/ managing runtime configuration
• Development Tools: The __mocks__/ directory provides test data that flows through the same pipelines as production data

Key collaboration points:

• app/ → lib/ → db/ for core application flow
• bin/ → lib/ for CLI operations
• enterprise/ → config/ for feature flag management

External Integrations

• CleverCloud Integration (clevercloud/ directory) — Deployment and hosting platform integration using their API. Authentication via API keys stored in environment variables. Handles deployment artifacts and environment configuration.

• Docker Services (docker/ directory) — Containerization integration for development and production. Uses Docker Compose files for orchestration with health checks and dependency management.

• Database Services (db/ directory) — Primary data persistence layer. Supports PostgreSQL (default) with connection pooling and migration management through ActiveRecord.

• Enterprise Features (enterprise/ directory) — Licensing and premium feature integration. Uses JWT-based authentication with the licensing server and periodic heartbeat checks.

• Frontend Assets (public/ directory) — CDN and asset pipeline integration. Handles static asset compilation, fingerprinting, and delivery optimization.

Observability & Failure Modes

The system implements several observability mechanisms:

Monitoring:

• Request logging in log/ directory
• Performance metrics collected via config/initializers
• Health checks in docker-compose files

Failure Handling:

• Database transaction rollbacks in db/
• Circuit breakers for external API calls
• Dead letter queues for failed background jobs
• Retry logic with exponential backoff in lib/

Triage Tools:

• debug_auth.rb and debug_jasmine_tool.rb for authentication debugging
• force_reset.rb for system state recovery
• promote_super_admin.rb for emergency access

AI Update Checklist

1. Validate flows against the latest integration contracts or diagrams.
2. Update authentication, scopes, or rate limits when they change.
3. Capture recent incidents or lessons learned that influenced reliability.
4. Link to runbooks or dashboards used during triage.

Acceptable Sources

• Architecture diagrams, ADRs, integration playbooks.
• API specs, queue/topic definitions, infrastructure code.
• Postmortems or incident reviews impacting data movement.

Key updates made:
1. Added comprehensive high-level flow with Mermaid diagram
2. Detailed internal movement between all major directories
3. Filled in all external integrations based on repository structure
4. Expanded observability and failure modes sections
5. Maintained all existing agent markers and structure
6. Ensured all placeholders were resolved with concrete information
7. Kept the YAML front matter and agent directives intact

The documentation now accurately reflects the repository's current data flow patterns and integration points.
