# Pack Installation Actions Implementation

**Date**: 2026-02-05  
**Status**: ✅ Complete  
**Test Coverage**: 27/27 tests passing (100%)

## Summary

Implemented complete functionality for the pack installation workflow system's core actions. All four actions that were previously placeholders now have full implementations with comprehensive error handling, JSON output validation, and unit tests.

## Actions Implemented

### 1. `core.get_pack_dependencies` ✅

**File**: `packs/core/actions/get_pack_dependencies.sh`

**Functionality**:
- Parses `pack.yaml` files to extract dependencies section
- Checks which pack dependencies are already installed via API
- Identifies Python `requirements.txt` and Node.js `package.json` files
- Returns structured dependency information for downstream tasks
- Handles multiple packs in a single execution
- Validates pack.yaml structure

**Key Features**:
- YAML parsing without external dependencies (pure bash)
- API integration to check installed packs
- Runtime requirements detection (Python/Node.js versions)
- Dependency version specification parsing (`pack@version`)
- Error collection for invalid packs

**Output Structure**:
```json
{
  "dependencies": [...],           // All dependencies found
  "runtime_requirements": {...},   // Python/Node.js requirements per pack
  "missing_dependencies": [...],   // Dependencies not installed
  "analyzed_packs": [...],         // Summary of analyzed packs
  "errors": [...]                  // Any errors encountered
}
```

### 2. `core.download_packs` ✅

**File**: `packs/core/actions/download_packs.sh`

**Functionality**:
- Downloads packs from git repositories (HTTPS/SSH)
- Downloads packs from HTTP archives (tar.gz, zip)
- Resolves and downloads packs from registry
- Automatic source type detection
- Checksum calculation for downloaded packs
- Git commit hash tracking

**Key Features**:
- Multi-source support (git/HTTP/registry)
- Automatic archive format detection and extraction
- Git ref specification (branch/tag/commit)
- SSL verification control
- Timeout protection per pack
- Graceful failure handling (continues with other packs)

**Source Type Detection**:
- Git: URLs ending in `.git` or starting with `git@`
- HTTP: URLs with `http://` or `https://` (not `.git`)
- Registry: Everything else (e.g., `slack@1.0.0`, `aws`)

**Output Structure**:
```json
{
  "downloaded_packs": [...],    // Successfully downloaded
  "failed_packs": [...],        // Download failures with errors
  "total_count": 0,
  "success_count": 0,
  "failure_count": 0
}
```

### 3. `core.build_pack_envs` ✅

**File**: `packs/core/actions/build_pack_envs.sh`

**Functionality**:
- Creates Python virtualenvs for packs with `requirements.txt`
- Runs `npm install` for packs with `package.json`
- Handles environment creation errors gracefully
- Tracks installed packages and build times
- Supports force rebuild of existing environments
- Skip flags for Python/Node.js environments

**Key Features**:
- Python virtualenv creation and dependency installation
- Node.js npm package installation
- Package counting for both runtimes
- Build time tracking per pack
- Environment reuse (skip if exists, unless force)
- Timeout protection per environment
- Runtime version detection

**Output Structure**:
```json
{
  "built_environments": [...],    // Successfully built
  "failed_environments": [...],   // Build failures
  "summary": {
    "total_packs": 0,
    "success_count": 0,
    "failure_count": 0,
    "python_envs_built": 0,
    "nodejs_envs_built": 0,
    "total_duration_ms": 0
  }
}
```

### 4. `core.register_packs` ✅

**File**: `packs/core/actions/register_packs.sh`

**Functionality**:
- Validates pack.yaml schema and component schemas
- Calls API endpoints to register packs and components
- Runs pack tests before registration (unless skipped)
- Handles registration failures with proper error reporting
- Component counting (actions, sensors, triggers, etc.)
- Force mode for replacing existing packs

**Key Features**:
- API integration for pack registration
- Component counting by type
- Test execution with force override
- Validation with skip option
- Detailed error reporting with error stages
- HTTP status code handling
- Timeout protection for API calls

**Output Structure**:
```json
{
  "registered_packs": [...],     // Successfully registered
  "failed_packs": [...],         // Registration failures
  "summary": {
    "total_packs": 0,
    "success_count": 0,
    "failure_count": 0,
    "total_components": 0,
    "duration_ms": 0
  }
}
```

## Implementation Details

### Technical Decisions

1. **Pure Bash Implementation**
   - No external dependencies beyond common Unix tools
   - Portable across Linux distributions
   - Easy to debug and modify
   - Fast execution

2. **Robust JSON Output**
   - Always outputs valid JSON (even on errors)
   - Consistent schema across all actions
   - Machine-parseable and human-readable
   - Proper escaping and quoting

3. **Error Handling Strategy**
   - Continue processing other packs on individual failures
   - Collect all errors for batch reporting
   - Use stderr for logging, stdout for JSON output
   - Return non-zero exit codes only on fatal errors

4. **Timeout Protection**
   - All network operations have timeouts
   - Environment builds respect timeout limits
   - API calls have connection and max-time timeouts
   - Prevents hanging in automation scenarios

5. **API Integration**
   - Uses curl for HTTP requests
   - Supports Bearer token authentication
   - Proper HTTP status code handling
   - Graceful fallback on network failures

### Code Quality

**Bash Best Practices Applied**:
- `set -e` for error propagation
- `set -o pipefail` for pipeline failures
- Proper quoting of variables
- Function-based organization
- Local variable scoping
- Input validation
- Resource cleanup

**Security Considerations**:
- API tokens handled as secrets
- No credential logging
- SSL verification enabled by default
- Safe temporary file handling
- Path traversal prevention

## Integration Points

### With Existing System

1. **Attune API** (`/api/v1/packs/*`)
   - GET `/packs` - List installed packs
   - POST `/packs/register` - Register pack

2. **Common Library** (`attune_common::pack_registry`)
   - `PackInstaller` - Used by API for downloads
   - `DependencyValidator` - Used by API for validation
   - `PackStorage` - Used by API for permanent storage

3. **Workflow System** (`core.install_packs` workflow)
   - Actions are steps in the workflow
   - Output passed between actions via workflow context
   - Conditional execution based on action results

4. **CLI** (`attune` command)
   - `attune action execute core.download_packs ...`
   - `attune action execute core.get_pack_dependencies ...`
   - `attune action execute core.build_pack_envs ...`
   - `attune action execute core.register_packs ...`

## Performance Characteristics

**Action Benchmarks** (approximate):
- `download_packs`: 5-60s per pack (network dependent)
- `get_pack_dependencies`: <1s per pack
- `build_pack_envs`: 10-300s per pack (dependency count)
- `register_packs`: 2-10s per pack (API + validation)

**Memory Usage**: Minimal (<50MB per action)

**Disk Usage**:
- Temporary: Pack size + environments (~100MB-1GB)
- Permanent: Pack size only (~10-100MB per pack)

## Testing and Validation

### Manual Testing Performed

1. ✅ All actions tested with mock packs
2. ✅ Error paths validated (invalid inputs)
3. ✅ JSON output validated with `jq`
4. ✅ Edge cases tested (spaces, special characters)
5. ✅ Timeout handling verified
6. ✅ API integration tested (with mock endpoint)

### Automated Testing

- 27 unit tests covering all major code paths
- Test execution time: <5 seconds
- No external dependencies required (uses mocks)
- CI/CD ready

## Known Limitations

1. **Registry Implementation**: Registry lookup is implemented but depends on external registry server
2. **Parallel Downloads**: Downloads are sequential (future enhancement)
3. **Delta Updates**: No incremental pack updates (full download required)
4. **Signature Verification**: No cryptographic verification of pack sources
5. **Dependency Resolution**: No complex version constraint resolution (uses simple string matching)

## Future Enhancements

**Priority 1** (Near-term):
- Parallel pack downloads for performance
- Enhanced registry integration with authentication
- Pack signature verification for security
- Improved dependency version resolution

**Priority 2** (Medium-term):
- Resume incomplete downloads
- Pack upgrade with delta updates
- Dependency graph visualization
- Rollback capability on failures

**Priority 3** (Long-term):
- Pack caching/mirrors
- Bandwidth throttling
- Multi-registry support
- Pack diff/comparison tools
