Refactor Core: Complete Architecture Overhaul

Summary

Major refactoring of the entire codebase to establish proper separation of concerns, dependency injection, and event-driven architecture. This sets the foundation for what's coming next.

What Changed

• ✅ Full ESM migration (no more CommonJS)
• ✅ Proper monorepo structure with starfleet/ packages
• ✅ Dependency injection throughout
• ✅ Event-driven command architecture
• ✅ Hexagonal architecture with ports/adapters
• ✅ Complete separation of core logic from I/O
• ✅ 78 ESLint errors fixed (down from 200+)

The Hidden Pattern

While refactoring, I discovered something. It was there in front of us all along. The same shape, written five times. The same truth, scattered across different languages.

There's a better way. But that's a story for another PR.

Captain's Note

To the contributor who submitted #20: Your 19,868 additions arrived just as we completed this. foundational shift. The architecture you were modifying no longer exists. Sometimes the universe has interesting timing. I'm sorry, but I did try to warn you! #19 and /README.

What's Next

This PR establishes the foundation of what was going to come next... But due to my new idea, I'm going to probably pivot to a new, fresh start in another repo. Follow me if you're interested in seeing what I have in store!

Migration Notes

The codebase has moved to a monorepo structure (use npmn):

• starfleet/data-cli - CLI commands
• starfleet/data-core - Core business logic
• starfleet/data-host-node - Node.js adapters

Live long, and prosper. 🖖

P.S. — The answer isn't in the code. It's in the pattern. Look for what repeats.

🖖 PR Review: Refactor Core Architecture

Overall Assessment: EXCELLENT ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a comprehensive and well-executed architectural refactoring that establishes solid foundations for future development. The migration to a proper monorepo structure with hexagonal architecture, dependency injection, and event-driven patterns represents significant technical improvement.

✅ Strengths & Positive Changes

🏗️ Architecture Excellence

• Clean monorepo structure: The starfleet/ organization with data-cli, data-core, and data-host-node provides excellent separation of concerns
• Hexagonal architecture: Proper ports/adapters pattern implementation enables testability and maintainability
• Event-driven design: Comprehensive event system with typed events (ProgressEvent, ErrorEvent, etc.) and runtime validation
• Dependency injection: Container-based DI in buildServices.js promotes loose coupling

📦 Package Management & Build

• ESM migration completed: Full transition from CommonJS to ES modules with proper "type": "module" configuration
• Zero build step: Maintains JavaScript-first approach per CLAUDE.md philosophy - no TypeScript compilation needed
• Workspace organization: Clean pnpm workspace setup with appropriate cross-package dependencies
• Tool integration: Good addition of Prettier, updated ESLint configs, and Husky git hooks

🔒 Security & Production Safety

• Multi-layered safety gates: Excellent production protection with git clean checks, typed confirmations, and --prod flags
• Environment separation: Clear separation of local vs production credentials and behaviors
• Input validation: Zod schema validation throughout configuration and command handling
• Transaction safety: Proper error handling with automatic rollback patterns

📝 Documentation & Code Quality

• Comprehensive JSDoc: Excellent JSDoc coverage following the project's JavaScript-over-TypeScript philosophy
• Event documentation: Well-documented event patterns with type definitions and examples
• Architectural decisions: Good documentation in /docs/TASKS/refactor-core/ explaining the rationale

⚠️ Areas Requiring Attention

🚨 High Priority

SQL Injection Prevention

// ❌ Potential issue in SupabaseCommand.js
executeSql(sql) // Direct SQL string execution

Recommendation: Ensure all SQL execution uses parameterized queries consistently.

Path Traversal Protection

// ❌ User input in file paths needs validation
--migrations-dir <path>  // User-controlled path

Recommendation: Add path sanitization and validation to prevent directory traversal attacks.

🔍 Medium Priority

TODO Comments Cleanup

Found 50+ TODO comments in template generation code that should be addressed before production use.

Error Handling Consistency

Some commands still use legacy error patterns - ensure all use the new event-driven error handling.

Test Coverage Gaps

The refactor removed some existing tests - ensure new architecture has equivalent test coverage.

---

🏆 Code Quality Highlights

Excellent Event Architecture

// ✅ Great pattern - typed events with runtime validation
class ProgressEvent extends CommandEvent {
  constructor(message, percentage = null, details = {}) {
    super('progress', message, details);
    this.percentage = percentage;
  }
}

Strong Production Safety

// ✅ Excellent safety mechanism
if (this.isProd && !confirmation.includes('I UNDERSTAND THE RISKS')) {
  throw new ArchyError('Production confirmation required');
}

Clean Dependency Injection

// ✅ Well-structured container pattern  
export function buildServices(config) {
  return {
    fileSystem: new FileSystemAdapter(),
    logger: new LoggerConsoleAdapter(),
    // ... properly injected dependencies
  };
}

🚀 Performance Considerations

Positive

• Dynamic imports reduce initial load time
• Connection pooling properly implemented
• Event-driven architecture prevents blocking operations

Monitor

• Large dependency tree with the monorepo structure
• Multiple file system operations during command execution
• Memory usage with event listeners and command instances

---

🛡️ Security Assessment: B+ (Good)

Strengths

• Excellent production safety mechanisms
• Proper credential separation and environment handling
• Strong configuration validation with Zod
• Good transaction safety patterns

Improvements Needed

• SQL injection prevention: Implement parameterized queries consistently
• Input sanitization: Enhanced path and user input validation
• Audit logging: Add logging for administrative operations

---

🎯 Recommendations

Before Merge

1. Address SQL injection concerns - Review all direct SQL execution
2. Path validation - Add sanitization for user-provided paths
3. Clean up TODOs - Address template generation TODOs
4. Test migration - Ensure test coverage matches previous version

Future Improvements

1. API rate limiting - Add throttling for database operations
2. Granular permissions - Consider more specific database roles
3. Audit trail - Enhanced logging for compliance
4. Performance monitoring - Add metrics collection

📊 Change Summary

• Files changed: 255
• Lines added: 35,195
• Lines deleted: 9,739
• Net impact: +25,456 lines (significant architectural addition)

🎉 Final Verdict

This PR represents exceptional engineering work. The migration to a proper hexagonal architecture with dependency injection, event-driven patterns, and monorepo organization establishes a solid foundation for future development.

The adherence to the project's JavaScript-first philosophy while adding robust type safety through JSDoc is commendable. The production safety mechanisms are particularly well-implemented.

Recommendation: APPROVE after addressing the SQL injection and path validation concerns.

The scale of this refactor is substantial but justified - it transforms a good CLI tool into a well-architected system ready for production use and future enhancement.

🖖 Live long and prosper - this codebase certainly will.

SQL injection was not addressed; I am moving on to a different project. I merged this in, in case someone wanted to fork and continue these efforts. Thank you for supporting my brief time working on this project. Follow me to see what I do next!
