## 1. Application Overview

### 1.1 Purpose

IGOR is a command-line tool that provides an interactive, visually appealing interface for querying GitLab's API. It is designed to help DevOps engineers, SREs, and GitLab administrators quickly inspect the state of GitLab Runners across their infrastructure.

### 1.2 Key Features

- **Interactive TUI**: Beautiful, keyboard-driven interface with color highlighting
- **Multiple Query Commands**: Seven distinct commands for different runner/user queries
- **Flexible Filtering**: Filter runners by tags, status, version, type, and pause state
- **Real-time API Queries**: Direct integration with GitLab REST API v4
- **Detailed Results**: Tabular display of runner and manager information
- **No Prior Knowledge Required**: Guided interface helps users discover available options
- **Proxy Support**: Automatic detection of HTTP/HTTPS proxy settings
- **SSL Flexibility**: Support for self-signed certificates

### 1.3 User Workflow

1. **Launch Application**: User runs the `igor` binary
2. **Command Selection**: TUI displays available commands; user navigates and selects
3. **Filter Configuration**: User optionally configures filters (tags, status, version, etc.)
4. **Execute Query**: Application queries GitLab API
5. **Display Results**: Results shown in formatted table
6. **Iterate or Exit**: User can run another query or exit

**Endpoint**: `GET /users`

**Purpose**: Fetch GitLab users

**Query Parameters**:

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| `active` | Boolean | Filter by active users only |
| `blocked` | Boolean | Filter by blocked users only |
| `external` | Boolean | Filter by external users |
| `per_page` | Integer | Results per page (max 100) |

**Response**: Array of User objects

**Example Request**:
```
GET /api/v4/users?active=true&per_page=100
Headers:
  PRIVATE-TOKEN: glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
```

### 4.3 Pagination

GitLab API uses pagination for large result sets.

**Response Headers**:
- `x-total`: Total number of items
- `x-total-pages`: Total number of pages
- `x-per-page`: Items per page
- `x-page`: Current page number
- `x-next-page`: Next page number (empty if last page)

**Implementation**:
1. Use an asynchronous, stream-based or background-loading approach.
2. Fetch the first page (`per_page=100`) and display it immediately.
3. Continue fetching subsequent pages in the background or on-demand (scrolling).
4. Provide visual feedback (e.g., "Loading more...") to the user during background fetches.
5. This ensures "snappy" feedback even with large datasets.

### 4.4 Rate Limiting

GitLab.com rate limits:
- **Authenticated requests**: 2000 requests per minute
- **Response header**: `RateLimit-Remaining`

**Implementation**:
- Check `RateLimit-Remaining` header after each request
- If low (< 10), implement exponential backoff
- Handle `429 Too Many Requests` response with retry

### 4.5 Error Handling

**Common HTTP Status Codes**:

| Code | Meaning | Action |
|------|---------|--------|
| `200 OK` | Success | Parse response |
| `401 Unauthorized` | Invalid token | Show error, exit |
| `403 Forbidden` | Insufficient permissions | Show error, exit |
| `404 Not Found` | Endpoint/resource missing | Handle gracefully (e.g., empty managers) |
| `429 Too Many Requests` | Rate limited | Retry with backoff |
| `500 Internal Server Error` | GitLab error | Retry up to 3 times |
| `502/503/504` | Service unavailable | Retry with backoff |

### 4.6 SSL/TLS Configuration

**Default**: Verify SSL certificates

**Self-Signed Certificates**:
- Environment variable: `DISABLE_SSL_WARNINGS=true`
- If set, disable certificate verification
- Log warning to user

**Proxy Support**:
- Respect system environment variables:
  - `HTTP_PROXY` / `http_proxy`
  - `HTTPS_PROXY` / `https_proxy`
  - `NO_PROXY` / `no_proxy`

### 4.7 Timeout Configuration

**Connection Timeout**: 10 seconds
**Read Timeout**: 30 seconds
**Total Request Timeout**: 60 seconds

## 5. Core Business Logic

### 5.1 Conductor Operations

The Conductor orchestrates all business operations. It should have the following methods:

#### 5.1.1 `fetch_runners(filters: RunnerFilters) -> Vec<Runner>`

**Purpose**: Fetch all runners matching filters, including their managers

**Algorithm**:
1. Call `client.get_runners(filters)` to get runners
2. For each runner:
   a. Call `client.get_runner_managers(runner.id)`
   b. Attach managers to runner
   c. Sort managers by `created_at` (most recent first)
3. Return runners with managers attached

**Client-Side Filtering**:
Some filters (tags, version_prefix) cannot be applied via API and must be filtered client-side.

#### 5.1.2 `list_runners_without_managers(filters: RunnerFilters) -> Vec<Runner>`

**Purpose**: Find runners with empty managers list

**Algorithm**:
1. Fetch all runners with managers
2. Filter: `runner.managers.is_empty()`
3. Return filtered list

#### 5.1.3 `check_runner_statuses(filters: RunnerFilters) -> (usize, usize)`

**Purpose**: Count how many runners have online managers

**Algorithm**:
1. Fetch all runners with managers
2. Count total: `runners.len()`
3. Count online: runners where `!managers.is_empty()` AND `managers[0].status == "online"`
4. Return `(online_count, total_count)`

**Note**: Only check the first (most recent) manager

#### 5.1.4 `list_offline_runners(filters: RunnerFilters) -> Vec<Runner>`

**Purpose**: Find runners with no online managers

**Algorithm**:
1. Fetch all runners with managers
2. Filter: runners where `!managers.is_empty()` AND `managers[0].status != "online"`
3. Return filtered list

#### 5.1.5 `list_uncontacted_runners(filters: RunnerFilters, time_threshold_secs: u64) -> Vec<Runner>`

**Purpose**: Find runners not contacted within time threshold

**Algorithm**:
1. Fetch all runners with managers
2. Calculate threshold: `current_time - time_threshold_secs`
3. Filter runners where:
   - `!managers.is_empty()` AND
   - `managers[0].contacted_at.is_none()` OR `managers[0].contacted_at < threshold`
4. Return filtered list

**Default threshold**: 3600 seconds (1 hour)

#### 5.1.6 `get_users(active_only: bool, humans_only: bool) -> Vec<User>`

**Purpose**: Fetch GitLab users

**Algorithm**:
1. Build query parameters:
   - If `active_only`: add `active=true`
   - If `humans_only`: filter out users where `bot == true` (client-side)
2. Call `client.get_users(params)`
3. Apply client-side filters
4. Return users

### 5.2 Filter Application Strategy

**API-Level Filters** (applied in HTTP request):
- `status`
- `runner_type` (as `type` parameter)
- `paused`

**Client-Level Filters** (applied after API response):
- `tag_list`: GitLab API doesn't support tag filtering, so filter after fetching
- `version_prefix`: API doesn't support version filtering

**Implementation Note**: Fetch broader results from API, then narrow down client-side. This trades bandwidth for simplicity.

### 5.3 Data Sorting

**Default Sorting**:
- Runners: Order by `tag_list` descending (API parameter)
- Managers: Order by `created_at` descending (most recent first)
- Users: Order by `name` ascending

---

## 6. Terminal User Interface (TUI)

### 6.1 TUI Framework Selection

Choose a TUI framework appropriate for your language:

**Rust**: [ratatui](https://ratatui.rs/) (v0.27+)

### 6.2 Application Modes

The TUI operates in four modes:

```
┌──────────────────┐
│ CommandSelection │ ◄────┐
└────────┬─────────┘      │
         │                │
         ▼                │
┌──────────────────┐      │
│  FilterInput     │      │
└────────┬─────────┘      │

## 10. Testing Requirements (TDD Approach)

### 10.1 Methodology: Test-Driven Development (TDD)

All core logic (Models, Conductor, Client) MUST be developed using TDD.

**TDD Workflow**:
1. **Red**: Write a failing test for a small piece of functionality.
2. **Green**: Write the minimum amount of code to pass the test.
3. **Refactor**: Clean up the code while ensuring tests remain green.

**Mandatory TDD Areas**:
- **JSON Deserialization**: Write tests for various API response scenarios before implementing the models.
- **Filter Logic**: Write tests for all filter combinations before implementing the conductor logic.
- **Pagination**: Write tests for the asynchronous/background loading logic.

### 10.2 Native Rust Testing

Use Rust's built-in testing framework (`cargo test`) for all tests.

**Categories**:

**Coverage Target**: ≥80% code coverage

**Test Categories**:

#### 10.1.1 Model Tests
- Test JSON deserialization for all models
- Test filter matching logic
- Test edge cases (null fields, empty arrays, etc.)

#### 10.1.2 Client Tests
- Mock HTTP responses
- Test successful API calls
- Test error handling (401, 403, 404, 429, 500, etc.)
- Test pagination logic
- Test timeout handling
- Test proxy configuration

#### 10.1.3 Conductor Tests
- Test all business operations
- Test filter application
- Test data transformation
- Test edge cases (empty results, no managers, etc.)

#### 10.1.4 TUI Tests
- Test keyboard event handling
- Test mode transitions
- Test input validation
- Test rendering (if framework supports it)

### 10.2 Integration Tests

**Purpose**: Test end-to-end workflows with real (or mocked) GitLab API

**Test Cases**:
1. **Fetch runners with filters**: Verify correct API calls and data flow
2. **List offline runners**: Verify filtering logic
3. **Get runner managers**: Verify manager fetching and attachment
4. **Handle no results**: Verify graceful handling of empty responses
5. **Handle API errors**: Verify error handling and retry logic

**Mock Server**: Use a mock HTTP server (e.g., `wiremock`, `mockito`) to simulate GitLab API

### 10.3 Manual Testing Checklist

Before release, manually test:

- [ ] Launch TUI successfully
- [ ] Navigate commands with keyboard
- [ ] Select each command
- [ ] Enter filters
- [ ] Execute query
- [ ] View results
- [ ] Scroll through results
- [ ] Handle large result sets (>100 items)
- [ ] Handle empty result sets
- [ ] Handle network errors (disconnect wifi)
- [ ] Handle authentication errors (invalid token)
- [ ] Test with proxy
- [ ] Test with self-signed certificate
- [ ] Test all keyboard shortcuts
- [ ] Test help screen
- [ ] Test quit functionality
- [ ] Verify colors render correctly in different terminals

### 10.4 Test Data

Create test fixtures for:
- Sample runners (various types, statuses, tags)
- Sample runner managers (various statuses)
- Sample users
- Sample API error responses

**Example Fixture** (Rust):
```rust
// tests/fixtures.rs
pub fn sample_runner() -> Runner {
    Runner {
        id: 12345,
        runner_type: "group_type".to_string(),
        active: true,
        paused: false,
        description: Some("Test Runner".to_string()),
        status: "online".to_string(),
        tag_list: vec!["alm".to_string(), "production".to_string()],
        managers: vec![],
        // ... other fields
    }
}
```

## 12. Language-Specific Implementation Guides

### 12.1 Rust Implementation

**Recommended Crates**:

| Crate | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `ratatui` | TUI framework |
| `crossterm` | Terminal control (events, colors) |
| `reqwest` | HTTP client |
| `tokio` | Async runtime |
| `serde` | JSON serialization |
| `serde_json` | JSON parsing |
| `anyhow` | Error handling |
| `chrono` | Date/time handling |
| `clap` | CLI argument parsing |
| `dotenvy` | .env file loading |
| `tracing` | Logging |

**Project Structure**:
```
igor/
├── Cargo.toml
├── src/
│   ├── main.rs           # Entry point, CLI parsing
│   ├── lib.rs            # Library exports
│   ├── client.rs         # GitLab API client
│   ├── conductor.rs      # Business logic orchestration
│   ├── models.rs         # Data models
│   ├── tui.rs            # TUI main loop and rendering
│   └── error.rs          # Custom error types

│   │   ├── client.rs
│   │   └── conductor.rs
│   └── fixtures/
│       └── api_responses.json
└── README.md
```

**Key Implementation Notes**:

1. **Async Runtime**: Use `tokio` for async HTTP requests
2. **Error Handling**: Use `anyhow::Result` for propagating errors
3. **TUI Event Loop**: Run TUI in async context, handle events with `tokio::select!`
4. **Logging**: Use `tracing` crate, log to file in TUI mode
5. **Testing**: Use `mockito` for HTTP mocking

**Example Main Function**:
```rust
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    // Load .env
    dotenvy::dotenv().ok();

    // Parse CLI args
    let args = Args::parse();

    // Setup logging
    setup_logging(&args)?;

    // Create GitLab client
    let client = GitLabClient::new(
        args.host.unwrap_or_else(|| env::var("GITLAB_HOST").unwrap()),
        args.token.unwrap_or_else(|| env::var("GITLAB_TOKEN").unwrap()),
    )?;

    // Test connection
    client.check_connection().await?;

    // Create conductor
    let conductor = Conductor::new(client);

    // Run TUI
    run_tui(conductor).await?;

    Ok(())
}
```
