## ⚠️ **PENDING TASKS - High Priority for Next Session**

### **🎯 Priority 1: Frontend UI Bug Fixes**

#### **WebSocket Connection Issues**
- **Problem**: Frontend failing to connect to `wss://hive.home.deepblack.cloud/ws`
- **Status**: ❌ BLOCKING - Prevents real-time updates
- **Error Pattern**: Connection attempts to wrong ports, repeated failures
- **Root Cause**: Traefik WebSocket routing configuration incomplete

**Required Actions:**
1. Configure Traefik WebSocket proxy routing from frontend domain to backend
2. Ensure proper WSS certificate application for WebSocket connections  
3. Test WebSocket handshake and message flow
4. Implement proper WebSocket reconnection logic

#### **JavaScript Runtime Errors**
- **Problem**: `TypeError: r.filter is not a function` in frontend
- **Status**: ❌ BLOCKING - Breaks frontend functionality
- **Location**: `index-BQWSisCm.js:271:7529`
- **Root Cause**: API response format mismatch or data type inconsistency

**Required Actions:**
1. Investigate API response formats causing filter method errors
2. Add proper data validation and type checking in frontend
3. Implement graceful error handling for malformed API responses
4. Test all frontend API integration points

#### **API Connectivity Issues**
- **Problem**: Frontend unable to reach `https://hive-api.home.deepblack.cloud`
- **Status**: 🔄 IN PROGRESS - Awaiting Traefik certificate provisioning
- **Current State**: Traefik labels applied, Let's Encrypt process in progress
- **Timeline**: 5-10 minutes for certificate issuance completion

**Required Actions:**
1. **WAIT** for Let's Encrypt certificate provisioning (DO NOT modify labels)
2. Test API connectivity once certificates are issued
3. Verify all API endpoints respond correctly via HTTPS
4. Update frontend error handling for network connectivity issues

### **🎯 Priority 2: MCP Test Suite Development**

#### **Comprehensive MCP Testing Framework**
- **Status**: ❌ NOT STARTED - Critical for production reliability
- **Scope**: All 10 MCP tools + distributed workflow integration
- **Requirements**: Automated testing, performance validation, error handling

**Test Categories Required:**

1. **Unit Tests for Individual MCP Tools**
   ```typescript
   // Example test structure needed
   describe('MCP Tool: manage_agents', () => {
     test('list agents returns valid format')
     test('register agent with valid data')
     test('handle invalid agent data')
     test('error handling for network failures')
   })
   ```

2. **Integration Tests for Workflow Management**
   ```typescript
   describe('Distributed Workflows', () => {
     test('submit_workflow end-to-end')
     test('workflow status tracking')
     test('workflow cancellation')
     test('multi-workflow concurrent execution')
   })
   ```

3. **Performance Validation Tests**
   - Response time benchmarks
   - Concurrent request handling
   - Large workflow processing
   - System resource utilization

4. **Error Handling & Edge Cases**
   - Network connectivity failures
   - Invalid input validation
   - Timeout handling
   - Graceful degradation

#### **Test Infrastructure Setup**
- **Framework**: Jest/Vitest for TypeScript testing
- **Location**: `/home/tony/AI/projects/hive/mcp-server/tests/`
- **CI Integration**: Automated test runner
- **Coverage Target**: 90%+ code coverage

**Required Test Files:**

## 💡 **Key Learnings & Architecture Insights**

### **Critical Architecture Principles**
1. **Docker SDN Respect**: Always route through proper network layers
2. **Certificate Patience**: Never interrupt Let's Encrypt provisioning process
3. **Service Discovery**: Use service names for internal communication
4. **Security First**: HTTPS/WSS for all external traffic

### **Traefik Best Practices**
- Use `web-secured` entrypoint (not `websecure`)
- Use `letsencryptresolver` (not `letsencrypt`)
- Always specify `traefik.docker.network=tengig`
- Include `passhostheader=true` for proper routing

### **MCP Development Standards**
- Comprehensive error handling for all tools
- Consistent response formats across all tools  
- Proper network architecture respect
- Extensive testing for production reliability
