|
17 | | -**Task Objective:** Contributing guide |
| 17 | +## Overview |
18 | 18 |
|
19 | | -This implementation should align with the project's core goals of providing: |
20 | | -- Webhook triggers with signature verification |
21 | | -- Visual DAG builder using SvelteKit/Svelte 5 |
22 | | -- Durable, replayable runs via event sourcing |
23 | | -- Live logs via Supabase Realtime |
24 | | -- Multi-tenant RLS security |
| 19 | +The objective of this task is to develop a comprehensive Contributing Guide for the MeshHook project. This guide aims to standardize the contribution process, making it easier for developers to understand how they can contribute to the project effectively. Aligning with MeshHook's core goals, this document should facilitate contributions that enhance the project's webhook triggers, visual DAG builder, durability, live logging capabilities, and security features. |

| 28 | +4. **Coding Standards:** Document coding standards specific to SvelteKit/Svelte 5, Postgres, and other technologies used in the project. |
| 29 | +5. **Testing Guidelines:** Include guidelines for writing tests, along with how to run and verify them before submission. |
| 30 | +6. **Documentation Standards:** Set expectations for documenting new features or changes to the API and codebase. |
37 | 31 |
|
38 | 32 | ### Non-Functional Requirements |
39 | 33 |
|
40 | | -- **Performance:** Maintain sub-second response times for user-facing operations |
41 | | -- **Reliability:** Ensure 99.9% uptime with proper error handling and recovery |
42 | | -- **Security:** Follow project security guidelines (RLS, secrets management, audit logging) |
43 | | -- **Maintainability:** Write clean, well-documented code following project conventions |
| 34 | +- **Usability:** The guide should be clear, concise, and easy to follow for contributors with various levels of experience. |
| 35 | +- **Accessibility:** Ensure the contributing guide is accessible to a diverse group of developers, including those using assistive technologies. |
| 36 | +- **Maintainability:** The guide should be easy to update as project standards and technologies evolve. |
44 | 37 |
|
45 | 38 | ## Technical Specifications |
46 | 39 |
|
47 | 40 | ### Architecture Context |
48 | 41 |
|
49 | | -- **SvelteKit (SSR/API)**: webhook intake, workflow CRUD, publish versions, run console. |
50 | | -- **Supabase**: Postgres (data + queues), Realtime (log streaming), Storage (artifacts), Edge (cron/timers). |
51 | | -- **Workers**: Orchestrator (state machine + scheduling) and HTTP Executor (robust HTTP with retries/backoff). |
| 42 | +The Contributing Guide does not directly impact the architecture of MeshHook but is crucial for maintaining the project's overall quality and consistency. It should align with the technical stack of MeshHook, including SvelteKit/Svelte 5 for the frontend, Postgres for data storage, and Supabase for real-time capabilities. |
52 | 43 |
|
53 | 44 | ### Implementation Approach |
54 | 45 |
|
55 | | -The implementation should follow these steps: |
56 | | - |
57 | | -1. **Analysis:** Review existing codebase and identify integration points |
58 | | -2. **Design:** Create detailed technical design considering: |
59 | | - - Data structures and schemas |
60 | | - - API contracts and interfaces |
61 | | - - Component architecture |
62 | | - - Error handling strategies |
63 | | -3. **Implementation:** Write code following TDD approach: |
64 | | - - Write tests first |
65 | | - - Implement minimal code to pass tests |
66 | | - - Refactor for clarity and performance |
67 | | -4. **Integration:** Ensure seamless integration with existing components |
68 | | -5. **Testing:** Comprehensive testing at all levels |
69 | | -6. **Documentation:** Update relevant documentation |
70 | | -7. **Review:** Code review and feedback incorporation |
71 | | - |
72 | | -**Key Considerations:** |
73 | | -- Maintain backward compatibility where applicable |
74 | | -- Follow event sourcing patterns for state changes |
75 | | -- Use Postgres for durable storage |
76 | | -- Implement proper error handling and logging |
77 | | -- Consider rate limiting and resource constraints |
| 46 | +1. **Research:** Review contributing guides from similar open-source projects to identify best practices. |
| 47 | +2. **Drafting:** Start with a basic structure and iteratively add sections focusing on setup, contribution process, coding standards, testing, and documentation. |
| 48 | +3. **Feedback Loop:** Share drafts with the core development team to gather feedback and make adjustments. |
| 49 | +4. **Finalization:** Incorporate all feedback, ensuring the guide is comprehensive and aligns with project goals. |
| 50 | +5. **Publishing:** Make the guide available in the project's repository and ensure it's easily discoverable for new contributors. |
