✅ WHAT WAS BUILT

1. Configuration Panel Infrastructure ✅

Created /config/ Directory Structure

web/typescript/valkyr_labs_com/src/components/WorkflowStudio/config/
├── index.ts                          # Central exports
├── ExecModuleConfigRegistry.tsx      # Dynamic panel registry
├── LooperConfigPanel.tsx             # Looper module config (400+ lines)

🎨 DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

Visual Design System

• Dark theme with semi-transparent backgrounds
• Purple gradient accents (#8b5cf6 → #6366f1)
• Hover animations - Lift effect on cards, smooth transitions
• Active state - Glowing borders on selected items
• Code editor styling - Monospace font with syntax-friendly colors
• Responsive grid - Auto-fit for different screen sizes

UX Patterns

• Progressive disclosure - Only show relevant fields for selected mode/type
• Visual feedback - Icons, colors, and badges for status
• Validation messaging - Clear error alerts with actionable guidance
• Test integration - In-panel testing without leaving config UI
• Form state management - React Hook Form patterns (ready for integration)

🔌 INTEGRATION POINTS

How to Use in ExecModuleEditModal

import { ConfigPanelRenderer, hasCustomConfigPanel } from "./config";

// In your modal component:
const ConfigPanel = () => {
  if (hasCustomConfigPanel(module)) {
    return (
      <ConfigPanelRenderer
        module={moduleDraft}
        onChange={handleModuleChange}
        onTest={handleTestRun}
        availableTasks={workflow?.tasks?.map((t) => ({
          id: t.id,
          name: t.name || t.id,
        }))}
        fallback={<GenericConfigForm />}
      />
    );
  }

  // Generic form for modules without custom panels
  return <GenericConfigForm />;
};

Adding New Config Panels

1. Create panel component in /config/ directory:

   touch YourModuleConfigPanel.tsx
   touch YourModuleConfigPanel.css

2. Implement ConfigPanelProps interface:

   export const YourModuleConfigPanel: React.FC<ConfigPanelProps> = ({
     module,
     onChange,
     onTest,
     availableTasks,
   }) => {
     // Your UI implementation
   };

3. Register in ExecModuleConfigRegistry.tsx:

   import YourModuleConfigPanel from "./YourModuleConfigPanel";
   
   export const MODULE_CONFIG_PANELS = {
     "com.valkyrlabs.workflow.modules.your.YourModule": YourModuleConfigPanel,
     // ... existing panels
   };

4. Export from index.ts:

   export { default as YourModuleConfigPanel } from "./YourModuleConfigPanel";

• Parallel execution toggles worker count field
• Test button executes with sample JSON
• Validation errors display properly
• Module onChange fires on config updates

MultiThreaderConfigPanel Tests

• Switch between execution modes - form updates
• Thread pool config: max threads 1-50 validation

🚀 NEXT STEPS

Immediate (Phase 2) - HIGH PRIORITY

1. Wire panels to ExecModuleEditModal

   • Update modal to use ConfigPanelRenderer
   • Test panel switching based on module type
   • Verify config persistence

2. Build visual containers

   • LooperContainer.tsx - Show nested tasks with iteration context
   • MultiThreaderContainer.tsx - Show parallel branches with thread indicators

3. Redux state integration

   • Add looper progress tracking to workflowCanvasSlice
   • Add thread pool status to workflowCanvasSlice
   • Wire WebSocket updates to Redux

Short-term (Phase 3) - MEDIUM PRIORITY

4. Create shared components

   • ConditionEditor.tsx - Syntax highlighting, autocomplete
   • JSONPathSelector.tsx - Visual tree picker
   • EncryptedSecretField.tsx - Secure input for API keys

5. Integration module config panels (Top 5)

   • EmailConfigPanel
   • RestApiConfigPanel
   • WebhookConfigPanel
   • StripeConfigPanel
   • S3ConfigPanel (AWS)

Long-term (Phase 4) - LOWER PRIORITY

6. Remaining integration modules

   • LinkedInConfigPanel
   • OpenAIConfigPanel
   • ImageGenerationConfigPanel

7. Polish & optimization
