DX Forge - Production VCS & Orchestration Engine

Zero-bloat dependency management for the modern web

Forge is a production-ready version control system and orchestration engine that eliminates node_modules bloat by detecting code patterns via LSP and injecting only the components you actually use. Built for the DX tools ecosystem (dx-style, dx-ui, dx-icons, dx-fonts, dx-i18n, dx-check, dx-auth).

🚀 Key Features

🎯 Zero Bloat: Only include code you actually use - no massive node_modules
⚡ LSP-Driven: Detects dxButton, dxiIcon patterns via Language Server Protocol
🔄 Component Injection: Fetches and injects components on-demand from R2 storage
🚦 Traffic Branch Safety: Green (auto), Yellow (merge), Red (manual) deployment logic
🔧 Tool Orchestration: Priority-based execution with dependency resolution
📦 Content-Addressable Storage: SHA-256 blob storage with Git compatibility
🔍 Dual-Watcher: LSP + File System monitoring with <100ms debounce
☁️ R2 Sync: Zero-egress Cloudflare R2 cloud storage integration

🎯 Vision: Beat Node.js Bloat

Traditional JavaScript tooling installs hundreds of megabytes of dependencies you never use. Forge takes a radically different approach:

LSP Detection: Your editor already knows what code you write
On-Demand Injection: Fetch only dxButton when you type dxButton
Self-Contained Tools: Each DX tool knows what to do - Forge just says "Go!"
Content-Addressable: SHA-256 deduplication prevents duplicates
R2 Cloud Sync: Zero-egress storage with instant availability
Simple Orchestration: Forge detects changes, tools decide if they should run

Result: Install nothing. Use everything. Pay for nothing.

Key Principle: Forge is a dumb coordinator. Tools are smart and autonomous.

🏗️ Architecture

Orchestration Engine

Forge coordinates multiple DX tools with priority-based execution and dependency resolution:

use dx_forge::{Orchestrator, DxTool};

let mut orchestrator = Orchestrator::new(".")?;
orchestrator.register_tool(Box::new(DxStyleTool));  // Priority: 100
orchestrator.register_tool(Box::new(DxUiTool));     // Priority: 80
orchestrator.register_tool(Box::new(DxIconsTool));  // Priority: 70
orchestrator.execute_all().await?;

Dual-Watcher System

Monitors both Language Server Protocol events and file system changes:

use dx_forge::{DualWatcher, FileChange};

let watcher = DualWatcher::new(".")?;
let mut rx = watcher.subscribe();

while let Ok(change) = rx.recv().await {
    println!("Detected: {:?} via {:?}", change.path, change.source);
}

Traffic Branch Safety

Three-tier update safety system prevents breaking changes:

🟢 Green: Auto-update (CSS, docs, tests) - Zero friction
🟡 Yellow: Merge required (components, logic) - Review conflicts
🔴 Red: Manual resolution (APIs, types) - Breaking changes blocked

📦 Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]

dx-forge = "1.0"

tokio = { version = "1.48", features = ["full"] }

async-trait = "0.1"

anyhow = "1.0"

Or use the CLI:

cargo install dx-forge

forge --version

🚀 Quick Start Examples

Building a DX Tool

Implement the DxTool trait to create a new tool:

use dx_forge::{DxTool, ExecutionContext, ToolOutput};
use async_trait::async_trait;
use anyhow::Result;

struct MyStyleTool;

#[async_trait]
impl DxTool for MyStyleTool {
    fn name(&self) -> &str { "dx-mystyle" }
    fn version(&self) -> &str { "1.0.0" }
    fn priority(&self) -> i32 { 100 }
    
    async fn execute(&self, ctx: &ExecutionContext) -> Result<ToolOutput> {
        // Process CSS files, inject styles, etc.
        Ok(ToolOutput::success("Styles injected"))
    }
}

Monitoring File Changes

Use the dual-watcher to detect changes:

use dx_forge::DualWatcher;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let watcher = DualWatcher::new("./src")?;
    let mut rx = watcher.subscribe();
    
    tokio::spawn(async move { watcher.start().await });
    
    while let Ok(change) = rx.recv().await {
        println!("📝 {} changed via {:?}", change.path.display(), change.source);
    }
    Ok(())
}

Automatic Component Injection

Detect and inject components automatically:

// When user types: <dxButton>Click</dxButton>
// Forge detects via LSP, fetches from R2, injects:

import { dxButton } from '.dx/cache/dx-ui/Button.tsx';
// Component code injected with SHA-256 verification

🚀 Quick Start

As a Library Dependency

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]

forge = "1.0"

tokio = { version = "1.48", features = ["full"] }

Basic Usage

use forge::{ForgeWatcher, ForgeEvent};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // Create watcher for current directory
    let watcher = ForgeWatcher::new(".", false, vec![]).await?;

    // Run the watcher
    watcher.run().await?;
    Ok(())
}

Running Examples

# Simple watcher example

cargo run --release --example simple


# Full CLI with all features

cargo run --release --bin forge

# Default mode (dual-watcher enabled)

cargo run --release


# Enable profiling to see timings

DX_WATCH_PROFILE=1 cargo run --release


# Disable rapid mode (quality only, for testing)

DX_DISABLE_RAPID_MODE=1 cargo run --release

🎯 Dual-Event System

Forge emits two types of events for every file change:

1. ⚡ Rapid Event (<35µs)

Ultra-fast notification using zero syscalls:

Timing: Typically 1-2µs, max 35µs
Purpose: Instant UI feedback for formatters/linters
Method: Atomic sequence counter (no file I/O)
Data: File path + timing only

2. ✨ Quality Event (<60µs)

Complete operation detection with details:

Timing: Typically <60µs
Purpose: Full analysis for quality tools
Method: Memory-mapped I/O + SIMD diffs
Data: Operations, line numbers, content changes

Configuration

Environment Variables

DX_WATCH_PROFILE=1 - Show detailed timing for both modes
DX_DISABLE_RAPID_MODE=1 - Disable rapid mode (quality only)
DX_DEBOUNCE_MS=1 - Debounce interval (default: 1ms)

Performance Markers

⚡ RAPID mode ≤20µs (target achieved)
🐌 RAPID mode >20µs (needs optimization)
✨ QUALITY mode ≤60µs (target achieved)
🐢 QUALITY mode >60µs (needs optimization)

Clean output - only shows when there are changes!

Testing no-op detection...

📊 Performance Benchmarks

Rapid Mode (Change Detection): ⚡ Best case: 1-2µs (cached, atomic only) ⚡ Typical: 8-20µs (95th percentile) 🎯 Target: <35µs ✅ ACHIEVED

Quality Mode (Full Analysis): ✨ Best case: 58µs (simple append) ✨ Typical: 60µs (typical edits) 🐢 Worst case: 301µs (complex diffs) 🎯 Target: <60µs ⚠️ MOSTLY ACHIEVED

    Hello, Forge!

� DX Tools Ecosystem

Forge orchestrates an entire ecosystem of zero-bloat tools:

Tool	Purpose	Priority	Dependencies
dx-style	CSS injection & processing	100	-
dx-fonts	Font loading & optimization	90	dx-style
dx-ui	Component injection	80	dx-style, dx-fonts
dx-icons	Icon detection & injection	70	dx-ui
dx-i18n	Internationalization	60	dx-ui
dx-charts	Data visualization	50	dx-ui
dx-forms	Form validation	40	dx-ui
dx-auth	Authentication helpers	30	dx-ui
dx-check	Linting & validation	10	all

Self-Contained Tools

Each DX tool is autonomous and knows:

What files it needs to process
When it should run
What patterns to detect
How to inject code


```rust

Forge doesn't configure tools. It just calls them when file changes are detected.

```rust
// Tools register themselves with Forge
orchestrator.register_tool(Box::new(DxUiTool::new()));
orchestrator.register_tool(Box::new(DxStyleTool::new()));

// Forge detects changes and asks each tool: "Should you run?"
// Each tool decides based on its own logic

⚙️ Configuration

Orchestration Config (`orchestration.toml`)

Define execution phases and tool coordination:

[orchestration]

version = "1.0"

parallel_execution = false

fail_fast = true



[phases.main]

tools = ["dx-style", "dx-ui", "dx-icons"]

parallel = false

required = true



[traffic]

enabled = true

auto_update_green = true

require_manual_red = true



[watcher]

enabled = true

debounce_ms = 100



[storage.r2]

bucket = "dx-forge-production"

endpoint = "https://storage.dx.tools"

Zero Configuration

Tools configure themselves. Forge just detects changes and calls tools.

No manifest files needed. Tools are autonomous.
