• Configurable log levels and filtering

4. Reliability and Failover (failover.go)

Comprehensive Failover Management

• State transfer between leaders during failover

5. Configuration Management (config.go)

Comprehensive Configuration System

• Complete configuration structure for all SLURP components
• Default configurations with environment overrides
• Validation and consistency checking
• Performance tuning parameters
• Security and observability settings

Configuration Categories

• Core system settings (node ID, cluster ID, networking)
• Election configuration (timeouts, scoring, quorum)
• Context management (queue size, concurrency, timeouts)
• Health monitoring (thresholds, intervals, policies)
• Performance tuning (resource limits, worker pools, caching)
• Security (TLS, authentication, RBAC, encryption)
• Observability (logging, metrics, tracing)

6. System Integration (integration_example.go)

Complete System Integration

• End-to-end system orchestration
• Component lifecycle management
• Status monitoring and health reporting
• Example usage patterns and best practices

Architecture Benefits

🎯 Leader-Only Context Generation

Only the elected leader performs context generation, preventing conflicts and ensuring consistency across the cluster.

🔄 Automatic Failover

Leadership transitions automatically transfer context generation responsibilities with full state preservation.

📊 Observable Operations

Comprehensive metrics and logging provide full visibility into context generation performance and health.

⚡ High Performance

Priority queuing, batching, and concurrent processing optimize context generation throughput.

🛡️ Enterprise Ready

Security, authentication, monitoring, and reliability features suitable for production deployment.

Usage Example

// Create and start SLURP leader system
system, err := NewSLURPLeaderSystem(ctx, "config.yaml")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("Failed to create SLURP leader system: %v", err)
}

// Start the system
if err := system.Start(ctx); err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("Failed to start SLURP leader system: %v", err)
}

// Wait for leadership
if err := system.contextManager.WaitForLeadership(ctx); err != nil {
    log.Printf("Failed to gain leadership: %v", err)
    return
}

// Request context generation
result, err := system.RequestContextGeneration(&ContextGenerationRequest{
    UCXLAddress: "ucxl://example.com/path/to/file",
    FilePath:    "/path/to/file.go",
    Role:        "developer",
    Priority:    PriorityNormal,
})
