Proposal: Refactor context management to introduce a named abstraction for consistency and modularity. #38

Description

@androidand
Proposal

Context

No additional context provided.

Why

This idea was submitted for autonomous implementation via the Ralph loop.

What

Refactor context management to introduce a named abstraction for consistency and modularity.

Scope

  • Design and implement the core change
  • Add tests covering the new behaviour
  • Update documentation if the public interface changes

Risks

  • Scope creep — mitigated by breaking work into small, verifiable tasks
  • Unclear requirements — mitigated by the ANALYSIS phase before coding

Disposition (2026-09-18)

Archived — superseded/obsolete. Duplicate of introduce-a-named-abstraction-for-c; one module landed.

Tasks

Phase 1: Design the Core Change

Tasks

  • 1.1. Update the architecture diagram to reflect the new context abstraction.
    • Validation: git diff packages/console/app/src/asset/architecture.svg
  • 1.2. Create a new interface for context management in the ContextManager module.
    • Validation: cat packages/core/src/context/context_manager.ts
  • 1.3. Define the new Context class and its properties.
    • Validation: cat packages/core/src/context/context.ts

Phase 2: Implement the Core Change

Tasks

  • 2.1. Implement the Context class with necessary properties.
    • Validation: cat packages/core/src/context/context.ts
  • 2.2. Update the ContextManager to use the new Context class.
    • Validation: cat packages/core/src/context/context_manager.ts
  • 2.3. Refactor existing code to use the new Context class. Refactor existing code to use the new Context class.
    • Validation: git diff packages/core/src/context

Phase 3: Add Tests

Tasks

  • 3.1. Create unit tests for the Context class.
    • Validation: npm test packages/core/src/context
  • 3.2. Update existing integration tests to use the new Context class. Update existing integration tests to use the new Context class.
    • Validation: npm test packages/core/test
  • 3.3. Ensure all tests cover the new functionality.
    • Validation: npm test

Phase 4: Update Documentation

Tasks

  • 4.1. Document the new Context class and its usage.
    • Validation: git diff README.md
  • 4.2. Update the architecture documentation to reflect the new context abstraction.
    • Validation: git diff packages/console/app/src/asset/architecture.svg
  • 4.3. Ensure all documentation is consistent with the new design.
    • Validation: git diff docs
