# B-Route Bridge Next Implementation Plan
|
||||
|
||||
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Push the primary B-route from a dry-run shell toward a verifiable sidecar/API bridge without enabling real send yet.
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture:** Keep the Go MCP tool contracts stable. B-route remains the primary product route: reuse the logged-in `IMPlatformClient.exe` runtime through a narrow sidecar/API bridge if a safe bridge transport exists. A-route/RPA remains backup-only and should be used only for UI action smoke or when B-route is proven blocked.
|
||||
|
||||
**Tech Stack:** Go 1.23.4, github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk, Windows PowerShell, .NET Framework C# helper/sidecar, stdin/stdout JSON protocols, Windows UI Automation only as fallback.
|
||||
|
||||
## Global Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
- Repository root: `E:\coding\codex\isphere-ai-bridge`.
|
||||
- Active branch for execution should be a new `codex/` branch, not `main` directly.
|
||||
- Do not use `rg`; use `git ls-files`, `ag`, `grep -R`, or PowerShell commands.
|
||||
- Local machine cannot log in to iSphere; local work must use static analysis, fake sidecar processes, synthetic fixtures, or offline real-window UI only.
|
||||
- B-route is primary: running-client sidecar / in-process connector / existing API comes before A-route/RPA.
|
||||
- A-route/RPA is backup-only: keep it runnable, but do not make it the default product architecture.
|
||||
- No real send/file upload in this plan. Stop at bridge feasibility, self_check, runtime probe, and dry-run preview.
|
||||
- Keep audit redaction: do not store raw message body, raw idempotency key, raw file contents, or raw local file paths in committed outputs.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Current evidence summary
|
||||
|
||||
The current `main` state already has:
|
||||
|
||||
- `isphere_send_message` MCP contract, preview/dry-run metadata, audit, idempotency, and connector abstraction.
|
||||
- `internal/tools/send_message_broute_adapter.go` with B-route `disabled` and `dry_run_contract` modes only.
|
||||
- `internal/tools/send_message_uia_adapter.go` wired from env only for `ISPHERE_SEND_CONNECTOR_MODE=uia_rpa`.
|
||||
- C# WinHelper `probe_client_runtime`, `probe_send_entrypoints`, `probe_send_uia_controls`, and `uia_send_message`.
|
||||
- Offline real `frmP2PChat` opener for RPA backup validation.
|
||||
- No B-route env wiring, no process-backed B-route sidecar client, no in-process bridge transport decision, and no real send/file-upload connector.
|
||||
|
||||
Important technical conclusion: an external C# process cannot automatically reuse the logged-in static runtime of `IMPlatformClient.exe`. Before building send invocation, the next B-route node must decide the bridge transport: existing API/IPC, plugin/extension loading, in-process adapter, or fallback.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Task 1: B-route bridge transport feasibility report
|
||||
|
||||
**Files:**
|
||||
- Create: `docs/source-discovery/2026-07-12-b-route-bridge-feasibility.md`
|
||||
- Modify: `docs/source-discovery/capability-source-matrix.md`
|
||||
|
||||
**Interfaces:**
|
||||
- Consumes: existing docs `docs/source-discovery/2026-07-10-send-sidecar-b-first-plan.md`, `docs/source-discovery/2026-07-10-send-connector-preflight.md`, and current Go/C# connector files.
|
||||
- Produces: a route decision table with exact choices: `existing_ipc`, `plugin_extension`, `in_process_adapter`, `external_dry_run_only`, or `fallback_rpa`.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Re-read current B-route evidence.
|
||||
|
||||
Run:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
Get-Content -LiteralPath docs\source-discovery\2026-07-10-send-sidecar-b-first-plan.md
|
||||
Get-Content -LiteralPath docs\source-discovery\2026-07-10-send-connector-preflight.md
|
||||
Get-Content -LiteralPath internal\tools\send_message_broute_adapter.go
|
||||
Get-Content -LiteralPath internal\tools\send_message_uia_adapter.go
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected: confirm B-route entrypoint names exist, but no bridge transport is implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Write the feasibility report with this required conclusion block:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
B-route remains primary. The immediate next implementation is not production send; it is bridge transport selection plus dry-run sidecar plumbing.
|
||||
|
||||
| Candidate | Can reuse logged-in runtime? | Local feasibility | Next action |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| existing_ipc/local_service | unknown | inspect live probe named pipes/services/network metadata | continue if concrete API appears |
|
||||
| plugin_extension | unknown | inspect install/plugin loader evidence | continue if client loads local plugin DLL/exe |
|
||||
| in_process_adapter | possible but highest risk | requires explicit bridge mechanism | defer until IPC/plugin ruled out |
|
||||
| external_dry_run_only | cannot reuse logged-in static runtime | useful for protocol/client tests only | implement as non-mutating sidecar boundary |
|
||||
| fallback_rpa | can drive UI only | already backup-ready | keep as backup, not primary |
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Update `capability-source-matrix.md` so the next slice says: “B-route bridge transport feasibility and dry-run sidecar boundary”, not “RPA send”.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Verify docs.
|
||||
|
||||
Run:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
git diff --check
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected: exit 0.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task 2: Add B-route connector env selection without starting real send
|
||||
|
||||
**Files:**
|
||||
- Modify: `internal/tools/send_message_uia_adapter.go` or split env loading into `internal/tools/send_message_connector_env.go`
|
||||
- Modify: `internal/tools/send_message_uia_adapter_test.go` or create `internal/tools/send_message_connector_env_test.go`
|
||||
- Modify: `docs/go-mcp-runbook.md`
|
||||
|
||||
**Interfaces:**
|
||||
- Consumes: `NewBRouteSendMessageConnector(BRouteSendAdapterConfig)`.
|
||||
- Produces: `NewSendMessageConnectorFromEnv()` supports:
|
||||
- `ISPHERE_SEND_CONNECTOR_MODE=broute_dry_run`
|
||||
- `ISPHERE_SEND_CONNECTOR_MODE=broute_sidecar`
|
||||
- `ISPHERE_SEND_BROUTE_MODE=disabled|dry_run_contract|sidecar_preview`
|
||||
- `ISPHERE_SEND_BROUTE_SIDECAR_EXE=<path>`
|
||||
- `ISPHERE_SEND_BROUTE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=<positive int>`
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Write failing env-loader tests.
|
||||
|
||||
Test cases:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
mode empty -> nil connector
|
||||
mode uia_rpa -> existing UIA connector
|
||||
mode broute_dry_run -> B-route connector mode dry_run_contract
|
||||
mode broute_sidecar without sidecar exe -> connector returns blocked sidecar config error, not panic
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Run:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
go test ./internal/tools -run "TestNewSendMessageConnectorFromEnv" -count=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected before implementation: fail for B-route modes.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Implement env parsing with no real send.
|
||||
|
||||
Required behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
broute_dry_run -> NewBRouteSendMessageConnector(BRouteSendAdapterConfig{Mode:"dry_run_contract"})
|
||||
broute_sidecar -> NewBRouteSendMessageConnector(BRouteSendAdapterConfig{Mode:"sidecar_preview", SidecarPath: env path, TimeoutSeconds: parsed timeout})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Run focused tests.
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
go test ./internal/tools -run "TestNewSendMessageConnectorFromEnv|TestBRoute" -count=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected: pass.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task 3: Process-backed B-route sidecar client boundary
|
||||
|
||||
**Files:**
|
||||
- Create: `internal/broute/send_sidecar_client.go`
|
||||
- Create: `internal/broute/send_sidecar_client_test.go`
|
||||
- Modify: `internal/tools/send_message_broute_adapter.go`
|
||||
- Modify: `internal/tools/send_message_broute_adapter_test.go`
|
||||
|
||||
**Interfaces:**
|
||||
- Produces protocol: `isphere.broute.send.v1`.
|
||||
- Produces sidecar ops:
|
||||
- `self_check`
|
||||
- `probe_runtime`
|
||||
- `preview_send_message`
|
||||
- No op named `send_message` in this task.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Write fake-process tests for `internal/broute`.
|
||||
|
||||
The fake sidecar must accept stdin JSON and return:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{"protocol":"isphere.broute.send.v1","request_id":"...","op":"preview_send_message","ok":true,"data":{"connector_mode":"broute-sidecar-preview","would_send":false,"entrypoint":"AppContextManager.SendTxtMessageByJid","target_ref":"direct:demo","content_sha256":"..."}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Implement the client with timeout, stderr capture, protocol/op/request_id validation, and structured sidecar errors.
|
||||
|
||||
Use `internal/msglib/sidecar_client.go` as the pattern, but keep the package separate as `internal/broute`.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Update `send_message_broute_adapter.go` so `Mode="sidecar_preview"` calls `preview_send_message` and returns:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
Accepted=false
|
||||
Status=blocked
|
||||
ErrorCode=broute_sidecar_preview_only
|
||||
ConnectorMode=broute-sidecar-preview
|
||||
ProductionEnabled=false
|
||||
SideEffects all false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Verify no accidental production send path exists.
|
||||
|
||||
Run:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
go test ./internal/broute ./internal/tools -run "BRoute|Sidecar" -count=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected: pass; no test should require iSphere login.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task 4: Native B-route sidecar skeleton, preview-only
|
||||
|
||||
**Files:**
|
||||
- Create: `native/ISphereSendSidecar/Program.cs`
|
||||
- Create: `native/ISphereSendSidecar/SidecarProtocol.cs`
|
||||
- Create: `scripts/build-send-sidecar.ps1`
|
||||
- Create: `scripts/verify-send-sidecar.ps1`
|
||||
- Create: `docs/broute-send-sidecar-contract.md`
|
||||
|
||||
**Interfaces:**
|
||||
- Native executable accepts stdin JSON and writes stdout JSON.
|
||||
- Protocol: `isphere.broute.send.v1`.
|
||||
- Ops implemented:
|
||||
- `self_check`
|
||||
- `probe_runtime`
|
||||
- `preview_send_message`
|
||||
- Explicitly not implemented:
|
||||
- `send_message`
|
||||
- `send_file`
|
||||
- `upload_file`
|
||||
- hooks/injection/network replay.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Implement `self_check` returning sidecar name, version, process bitness, and `mutates_client=false`.
|
||||
- [ ] Implement `probe_runtime` by reusing safe process/module discovery logic from WinHelper where possible.
|
||||
- [ ] Implement `preview_send_message` as contract validation only; it must echo hashes/target refs and `would_send=false`.
|
||||
- [ ] Build and verify.
|
||||
|
||||
Run:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\build-send-sidecar.ps1
|
||||
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\verify-send-sidecar.ps1
|
||||
go test ./...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected: all pass; sidecar verification prints only booleans/counts and no message body.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task 5: Online B-route evidence package v3
|
||||
|
||||
**Files:**
|
||||
- Create: `scripts/package-broute-bridge-probe.ps1`
|
||||
- Create: `scripts/verify-broute-bridge-probe-package.ps1`
|
||||
- Create: `scripts/validate-returned-broute-bridge-probe.ps1`
|
||||
- Create: `docs/source-discovery/2026-07-12-broute-bridge-probe-package.md`
|
||||
|
||||
**Interfaces:**
|
||||
- Package includes:
|
||||
- live probe recorder;
|
||||
- send sidecar preview executable;
|
||||
- `RUN-BROUTE-BRIDGE-PROBE.bat`;
|
||||
- `BROUTE-BRIDGE-INPUTS.template.json`;
|
||||
- return zip helper.
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Package only non-mutating probes.
|
||||
- [ ] Require operator to be logged in before running.
|
||||
- [ ] Validate returned package for:
|
||||
- running client present;
|
||||
- module availability;
|
||||
- sidecar self_check passed;
|
||||
- sidecar preview returned `would_send=false`;
|
||||
- no real send attempted.
|
||||
|
||||
Run:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\package-broute-bridge-probe.ps1
|
||||
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\verify-broute-bridge-probe-package.ps1
|
||||
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\validate-returned-broute-bridge-probe.ps1 -UseFixture
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected: package builds and fixture validation passes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task 6: Business smoke split for send readiness
|
||||
|
||||
**Files:**
|
||||
- Modify: `scripts/verify-business-goals-smoke.ps1`
|
||||
- Modify: `docs/reports/2026-07-12-main-business-status-correction.md`
|
||||
- Create or modify: `docs/reports/2026-07-12-broute-next-smoke.md`
|
||||
|
||||
**Interfaces:**
|
||||
- Produces separate booleans:
|
||||
- `send_message_preview_ready`
|
||||
- `send_message_broute_bridge_preview_ready`
|
||||
- `send_message_ui_action_ready`
|
||||
- `send_message_business_delivery_ready`
|
||||
- `send_file_preview_ready`
|
||||
- `send_file_business_delivery_ready`
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Update smoke script to avoid one ambiguous `send_message_production_ready` field.
|
||||
- [ ] Ensure current expected state is:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"send_message_preview_ready": true,
|
||||
"send_message_broute_bridge_preview_ready": true,
|
||||
"send_message_ui_action_ready": true,
|
||||
"send_message_business_delivery_ready": false,
|
||||
"send_file_preview_ready": true,
|
||||
"send_file_business_delivery_ready": false
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Verify.
|
||||
|
||||
Run:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\verify-business-goals-smoke.ps1
|
||||
git diff --check
|
||||
go test ./...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected: pass.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Stop conditions
|
||||
|
||||
Stop and ask the business owner if any of these occur:
|
||||
|
||||
1. B-route bridge transport requires invasive in-process loading and no plugin/IPC path exists.
|
||||
2. Online probe shows the logged-in client does not expose the expected modules/entrypoints.
|
||||
3. B-route preview cannot distinguish direct contact vs group target.
|
||||
4. Any step would perform real send/upload before explicit online evidence gates are ready.
|
||||
5. A-route becomes the only viable path; this requires an explicit business decision because RPA is backup-only.
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommended next action
|
||||
|
||||
Start with Task 1 and Task 2 only. That creates a clear B-route bridge feasibility decision and lets the MCP server select a B-route dry-run connector from env without touching real send.
