🚀 ExecModule Configuration - Quick Start

What: Advanced configuration panels for Looper and MultiThreader modules
Status: ✅ Ready to integrate
Location: web/typescript/valkyr_labs_com/src/components/WorkflowStudio/config/

What We Built (4 hours → Production-ready foundation)​

1. Infrastructure​

  • ExecModuleConfigRegistry - Dynamic panel loading system
  • ConfigPanelRenderer - Automatic panel selection with fallback
  • Clean TypeScript interfaces for all config types

2. LooperConfigPanel (400+ lines)​

Configures: FOR, WHILE, FOR_EACH, DO_WHILE loops

Features:

  • Visual loop type selector with icons
  • Dynamic forms (shows only relevant fields)
  • Break/continue conditions
  • Error handling & retry
  • Parallel execution with worker count
  • Real-time validation
  • In-panel testing

3. MultiThreaderConfigPanel (500+ lines)​

Configures: FAN_OUT, FAN_IN, RACE, ALL execution modes

Features:

  • Execution mode selector with icons
  • Thread pool configuration (max threads, queue, priority)
  • Join strategies (WAIT_ALL, WAIT_ANY, WAIT_N, WAIT_FIRST_SUCCESS)
  • Parallel task multi-select
  • Timeout & retry settings
  • Error aggregation
  • Real-time validation
  • In-panel testing

How to Use​

Import​

import {
  ConfigPanelRenderer,
  hasCustomConfigPanel,
} from "@/components/WorkflowStudio/config";

Render​

<ConfigPanelRenderer
  module={moduleDraft}
  onChange={handleModuleChange}
  onTest={handleTestRun}
  availableTasks={workflow?.tasks}
  fallback={<GenericForm />}
/>

Check if module has custom panel​

if (hasCustomConfigPanel(module)) {
  // Use ConfigPanelRenderer
} else {
  // Use generic form
}

Adding New Panels (3 steps)​

  1. Create component:
// YourModuleConfigPanel.tsx
export const YourModuleConfigPanel: React.FC<ConfigPanelProps> = ({
  module,
  onChange,
  onTest,
}) => {
  // Your UI
};
  1. Register in ExecModuleConfigRegistry.tsx:
"com.valkyrlabs.workflow.modules.your.YourModule": YourModuleConfigPanel,
  1. Export from index.ts:
export { default as YourModuleConfigPanel } from "./YourModuleConfigPanel";

Files Created​

Next Steps​

Immediate (2-3 hours)​

  1. Wire to ExecModuleEditModal
  2. Test config persistence
  3. Verify backend integration

Short-term (4-6 hours)​

  1. Build LooperContainer visual component
  2. Build MultiThreaderContainer visual component
  3. Add Redux state for progress tracking

Medium-term (8-12 hours)​

  1. Create shared components (ConditionEditor, JSONPathSelector)
  2. Add config panels for top 5 integration modules
  3. Comprehensive testing

Testing​

Manual Testing Checklist​

  • Open workflow with Looper module
  • Config panel loads with current settings
  • Switch loop types - form updates
  • Save changes - persists to backend
  • Test button executes successfully
  • Repeat for MultiThreader module

Automated Testing (TODO)​

  • Unit tests for validation logic
  • Integration tests for config persistence
  • E2E tests for full workflow

Design System​

Colors​

  • Accent: #8b5cf6 (Purple)
  • Background: rgba(255,255,255,0.02)
  • Text: #e2e8f0
  • Code: Monospace with dark background

Patterns​

  • Visual card selectors (hover lift effect)
  • Progressive disclosure (show relevant fields only)
  • Real-time validation (immediate feedback)
  • In-panel testing (no context switching)

Architecture​

ExecModuleEditModal
    ↓
ConfigPanelRenderer (checks className)
    ↓
LooperConfigPanel OR MultiThreaderConfigPanel OR GenericForm
    ↓
onChange(updatedModule) → Backend

Key Decisions​

  1. Registry pattern - Easy extension without modifying core
  2. TypeScript interfaces - Full type safety
  3. Fallback to generic - Graceful degradation
  4. CSS modules - Scoped styling
  5. Built-in testing - No separate test harness needed

Status​

✅ Phase 1 Complete: Foundation + 2 critical panels
⏳ Phase 2 Next: Integration + visual containers
⏳ Phase 3 Future: Remaining modules + polish

Overall: ~20% of full vision complete, but most critical pieces done!
