## Overall Architecture

### System Modes

All-SMI operates in three distinct modes:

1. **Local Mode**: Terminal UI monitoring local hardware directly
2. **API Mode**: Headless server exposing Prometheus metrics endpoints
3. **View Mode**: Distributed monitoring client aggregating remote instances

### Key Design Patterns

The architecture extensively leverages proven design patterns:

- **Strategy Pattern**: Platform-specific device readers with unified interfaces
- **Factory Pattern**: Runtime device reader selection based on hardware detection
- **Producer-Consumer**: Async data collection tasks feed shared state consumed by UI/API
- **Command Pattern**: Structured TUI event handling and processing
- **Builder Pattern**: Configuration and client construction
- **Trait Object Pattern**: Dynamic dispatch for cross-platform hardware abstractions

## Core Design Principles

### 1. Platform Abstraction
- **Trait-based design**: All platform-specific implementations adhere to common traits
- **Runtime detection**: Automatic platform detection selects appropriate readers
- **Extensibility**: New platforms can be added by implementing the reader traits
- **Zero-cost abstractions**: Compile-time optimizations eliminate runtime overhead

### 2. Asynchronous Architecture
- **Tokio runtime**: Full-featured async runtime for complex operations
- **Task separation**: Data collection and UI rendering run independently
- **Non-blocking I/O**: All operations use async/await patterns
- **Shared state**: `Arc<Mutex<AppState>>` enables thread-safe communication

### 3. Modular Design
- **Clean boundaries**: Well-defined module interfaces and responsibilities
- **Dependency injection**: Components receive dependencies through constructors
- **Plugin architecture**: Easy extension through trait implementations
- **Single responsibility**: Each module handles one aspect of functionality

### Module Responsibilities

- **Device Layer**: Hardware abstraction through traits (`GpuReader`, `CpuReader`, `MemoryReader`)
- **Metrics Layer**: Data aggregation, trend analysis, and health monitoring
- **View Layer**: Application lifecycle management and async task coordination
- **UI Layer**: Terminal rendering with differential updates
- **Network Layer**: Robust HTTP client with retry logic and security validations
- **Parsing Layer**: Efficient text processing with macro-based DSL
- **Storage Layer**: Disk usage monitoring and reporting
- **Utils Layer**: Cross-cutting concerns and helper functions

## Data Flow Architecture

### Local Mode Flow
```
DataCollector (background) → Device Readers → Shared AppState → UI Loop (foreground)
```

### Remote Mode Flow
```
NetworkClient → Remote /metrics endpoints → MetricsParser → Shared AppState → UI Loop
```

### API Mode Flow
```
DataCollector → Device Readers → API State → HTTP Handlers → Prometheus Export
```

### Unix Domain Socket Support

API mode supports Unix Domain Sockets (UDS) as an alternative to TCP for local IPC scenarios:

#### Benefits
- **No port management**: Avoid port conflicts with other services
- **Better security**: File permission-based access control (0600)
- **Lower overhead**: Bypasses TCP/IP stack for local communication
- **Simplified discovery**: Fixed socket path instead of dynamic ports

#### Implementation Details
- **Listener options**: TCP only, UDS only, or both simultaneously
- **Platform defaults**:
  - Linux: `/var/run/all-smi.sock` (fallback to `/tmp/all-smi.sock`)
  - macOS: `/tmp/all-smi.sock`
- **Socket lifecycle**:
  - Stale socket removal on startup (atomic, TOCTOU-safe)
  - Graceful cleanup on shutdown via signal handlers
- **Security**: Socket permissions set to `0600` immediately after bind
- **Platform availability**: Unix only (Linux, macOS); Windows pending Rust ecosystem support

#### Architecture
```
Client (curl/Python) → Unix Socket → Axum Server → Same handlers as TCP
```

### State Management

The architecture uses `Arc<Mutex<AppState>>` for thread-safe state sharing:
- **Producers**: Background tasks collecting hardware metrics
- **Consumers**: UI renderer or HTTP handlers reading state
- **Synchronization**: Mutex ensures data consistency
- **Performance**: Minimal lock contention through quick updates

## Core Abstractions and Traits

### Primary Trait Definitions

```rust
// Core data collection abstraction
pub trait DataCollector: Send + Sync {
    type Data;
    async fn collect(&self) -> Result<Self::Data>;
}

// Device-specific readers
pub trait GpuReader: Send + Sync {
    fn get_gpu_info(&self) -> Vec<GpuInfo>;
    fn get_process_info(&self) -> Vec<ProcessInfo>;
}

pub trait CpuReader: Send + Sync {
    fn get_cpu_info(&self) -> Vec<CpuInfo>;
}

pub trait MemoryReader: Send + Sync {
    fn get_memory_info(&self) -> Vec<MemoryInfo>;
}

// Export formatting strategy
pub trait MetricsExporter: Send + Sync {
    fn export(&self, data: &MetricsData, format: ExportFormat) -> Result<String>;
}
```

### Trait Design Principles

- **Associated Types**: Enable zero-cost abstractions while maintaining type safety
- **Send + Sync Bounds**: Ensure thread safety for async environments
- **Strategy Composition**: Traits can be combined for complex behaviors
- **Error Propagation**: Consistent Result types for error handling

## Strategy Pattern for Data Collection

### Implementation Details (PR #53)

The Strategy pattern refactoring introduced a clean separation between data collection strategies:

#### Problem Statement
Previously, data collection logic for local and remote sources was tightly coupled within the `DataCollector`, making it difficult to:
- Test individual collection strategies
- Add new data sources
- Handle different collection configurations
- Maintain separation of concerns

### Solution: Strategy Pattern Implementation

#### Core Components

##### 1. DataCollectionStrategy Trait
```rust
#[async_trait]
pub trait DataCollectionStrategy: Send + Sync {
    async fn collect(&self, config: &CollectionConfig) -> CollectionResult;
    async fn update_state(
        &self,
        app_state: Arc<Mutex<AppState>>,
        data: CollectionData,
        config: &CollectionConfig
    );
    fn strategy_type(&self) -> &str;
    async fn is_ready(&self) -> bool;
}
```

The trait defines a unified interface for all data collection strategies, enabling:
- Polymorphic behavior through dynamic dispatch
- Consistent error handling via `CollectionResult`
- Flexible state updates
- Strategy identification for logging

##### 2. Concrete Strategy Implementations

###### LocalCollector
- Collects metrics directly from the host system
- Manages platform-specific readers (GPU, CPU, Memory)
- Handles reader initialization with timeout protection
- Implements lazy initialization pattern
- Features:
  - Direct hardware access via platform APIs
  - Process information collection
  - Storage metrics gathering
  - System information aggregation

###### RemoteCollector
- Fetches metrics from remote All-SMI instances via HTTP
- Parses Prometheus format metrics
- Implements connection pooling and rate limiting
- Features:
  - Concurrent connection management (semaphore-based)
  - Optimized regex parsing with DFA size limits
  - Connection staggering for high-scale deployments
  - Deduplication of storage information

##### 3. DataAggregator
- Centralized aggregation logic
- Maintains utilization history
- Calculates moving averages
- Updates trend indicators
- Responsibilities:
  - CPU utilization history tracking
  - GPU metrics aggregation
  - Memory usage trends
  - Cross-node statistics

##### 4. CollectionConfig
```rust
pub struct CollectionConfig {
    pub interval: u64,
    pub first_iteration: bool,
    pub hosts: Vec<String>,
}
```

Centralized configuration management:
- Adaptive interval calculation based on node count
- First iteration special handling
- Host list management for remote monitoring

##### 5. CollectionError
```rust
pub enum CollectionError {
    ConnectionError(String),
    ParseError(String),
    IoError(#[from] std::io::Error),
    Other(String),
}
```

Unified error handling across all strategies with automatic conversion from `std::io::Error`.

### Benefits of the Strategy Pattern

1. **Separation of Concerns**: Each strategy encapsulates its specific collection logic
2. **Open/Closed Principle**: New collection strategies can be added without modifying existing code
3. **Testability**: Each strategy can be unit tested independently
4. **Flexibility**: Strategies can be swapped at runtime based on configuration
5. **Code Reusability**: Common logic is extracted to the aggregator
6. **Maintainability**: Clearer code organization with defined responsibilities

### Usage Pattern

```rust
// Local mode
let collector = LocalCollector::new();
let data = collector.collect(&config).await?;
collector.update_state(app_state, data, &config).await;

// Remote mode
let collector = RemoteCollectorBuilder::new()
    .with_max_connections(64)
    .with_hosts(hosts)
    .build();
let data = collector.collect(&config).await?;
collector.update_state(app_state, data, &config).await;
```
