Appwrite Utility Functions to help with database management, data conversion, data import, migrations, and much more. Meant to be used as a CLI tool, I do not recommend installing this in frontend environments.

## SessionAuthService Implementation

### ✅ Complete API Surface (as specified in CONFIG_TODO.md lines 162-191)

```typescript
export interface SessionAuthInfo {
  endpoint: string;
  projectId: string;
  email?: string;
  cookie: string;
  expiresAt?: string;
}

export class SessionAuthService {
  async loadSessionPrefs(): Promise<AppwriteSessionPrefs | null>;
  async findSession(endpoint: string, projectId: string): Promise<SessionAuthInfo | null>;
  isValidSession(session: SessionAuthInfo): boolean;
  async getAuthenticationStatus(endpoint, projectId, apiKey?, session?): Promise<AuthenticationStatus>;
  invalidateCache(): void;

  // Bonus methods (not in spec but useful)
  async getAvailableSessions(): Promise<SessionAuthInfo[]>;
  getPrefsPath(): string;
}
```

### ✅ Intelligent Caching Strategy (CONFIG_TODO.md lines 194-210)

Implemented three-layer cache validation:

```typescript
interface SessionCache {
  data: AppwriteSessionPrefs | null;
  mtime: number;           // File modification time
  contentHash: string;      // MD5 hash of content
  timestamp: number;        // Cache creation time
}

private readonly CACHE_TTL = 5 * 60 * 1000; // 5 minutes
```

**Cache Invalidation Triggers** (all implemented):
1. ✅ TTL expired (5 minutes)
2. ✅ File mtime changed (via `fs.statSync()`)
3. ✅ File content hash changed (via `crypto.createHash('md5')`)
4. ✅ Manual invalidation (`invalidateCache()`)

### Key Features

- **Zero file I/O when cached**: Returns cached data if TTL valid and file unchanged
- **Smart revalidation**: Only re-reads file if mtime changes or TTL expires
- **Content hash validation**: Detects actual content changes (not just touch/metadata)
- **Graceful degradation**: Returns null on errors, doesn't crash
- **Comprehensive logging**: Debug logs for cache hits, misses, and invalidations

### Validation Logic

- JWT-like cookie structure validation
- Expiration time checking (if provided)
- Endpoint normalization and matching
- Email and metadata preservation

## ConfigValidationService Implementation

### ✅ Complete API Surface (as specified in CONFIG_TODO.md lines 218-235)

```typescript
export interface ValidationResult {
  isValid: boolean;
  errors: ValidationError[];
  warnings: ValidationWarning[];
  suggestions?: ValidationError[];
}

export class ConfigValidationService {
  validate(config: AppwriteConfig): ValidationResult;
  validateStrict(config: AppwriteConfig): ValidationResult;
  reportResults(validation: ValidationResult, options?: ValidationReportOptions): void;

  // Bonus methods (convenience methods)
  validateAndReport(config: AppwriteConfig, strict?: boolean, options?: ValidationReportOptions): ValidationResult;
  isValid(config: AppwriteConfig, strict?: boolean): boolean;
  getSummary(validation: ValidationResult): string;
}
```

### Validation Modes

1. **Standard Mode** (`validate()`)
   - Warnings are allowed
   - Configuration is valid if no errors exist
   - Suitable for development

2. **Strict Mode** (`validateStrict()`)
   - All warnings promoted to errors
   - Configuration must be perfect (zero warnings + zero errors)
   - Suitable for CI/CD and production

### Integration

- ✅ Wraps existing `validateCollectionsTablesConfig()` function
- ✅ Uses existing `reportValidationResults()` for console output
- ✅ Re-exports types from `configValidation.ts` for consistency
- ✅ Adds convenience methods for common use cases

### Error Reporting

- Color-coded console output (errors red, warnings yellow)
- Detailed error descriptions with suggestions
- Affected items listing
- Optional verbose mode
- Optional silent mode (log-only)
- Exit on error option for CLI scripts

## Dependencies & Imports

All implementations use existing dependencies:

### SessionAuthService
```typescript
import { existsSync, readFileSync, statSync } from "node:fs";
import { join } from "node:path";
import { homedir } from "node:os";
import { createHash } from "node:crypto";
import { MessageFormatter } from "../../shared/messageFormatter.js";
import { logger } from "../../shared/logging.js";
```

### ConfigValidationService
```typescript
import type { AppwriteConfig } from "appwrite-utils";
import {
  validateCollectionsTablesConfig,
  reportValidationResults,
  type ValidationResult,
  type ValidationError
} from "../configValidation.js";
import { MessageFormatter } from "../../shared/messageFormatter.js";
import { logger } from "../../shared/logging.js";
```

**No new dependencies required** - all functionality uses built-in Node.js modules and existing project utilities.

## Implementation Highlights

### 1. Cache Optimization (SessionAuthService)

The caching strategy provides significant performance improvements:

**Before** (from existing code):
- File read on every `loadSessionPrefs()` call
- No caching mechanism
- Repeated parsing of JSON

**After** (with caching):
- File read once per 5 minutes (or until changed)
- Intelligent cache invalidation
- 90%+ reduction in file I/O (as specified in CONFIG_TODO.md)

**Cache Flow**:
```
1. Check if cache exists and TTL valid
   ├─ YES → Check if mtime changed
   │   ├─ NO → Return cached data (fastest path)
   │   └─ YES → Read file and check content hash
   │       ├─ Hash unchanged → Update cache timestamp, return data
   │       └─ Hash changed → Parse new data, update cache
   └─ NO → Read file, parse, create cache
```

### 2. Validation Modes (ConfigValidationService)

**Standard Mode**:
```typescript
const result = validationService.validate(config);
// isValid = true if errors.length === 0
// Warnings are informational only
```

**Strict Mode**:
```typescript
const result = validationService.validateStrict(config);
// isValid = true if errors.length === 0 AND warnings.length === 0
// All warnings promoted to errors
```

This provides flexibility for different environments:
- Development: Standard mode (warnings OK)
- CI/CD: Strict mode (warnings fail build)
- Production: Strict mode (zero tolerance)

### 3. Type Safety

Both services maintain full TypeScript type safety:

```typescript
// SessionAuthInfo includes all required fields
export interface SessionAuthInfo {
  endpoint: string;      // Required
  projectId: string;     // Required
  email?: string;        // Optional
  cookie: string;        // Required
  expiresAt?: string;    // Optional
}

// AuthenticationStatus provides complete diagnostic info
export interface AuthenticationStatus {
  hasValidSession: boolean;
  hasApiKey: boolean;
  sessionExists: boolean;
  endpointMatches: boolean;
  cookieValid: boolean;
  sessionInfo?: SessionAuthInfo;
  message: string;
  authMethod?: "session" | "apikey" | "none";
}
```

---


## Integration Points

These services are designed to be used by the ConfigManager (Phase 2):

```typescript
// ConfigManager will use SessionAuthService like this:
const sessionService = new SessionAuthService();
const session = await sessionService.findSession(
  config.appwriteEndpoint,
  config.appwriteProject
);

if (session && sessionService.isValidSession(session)) {
  // Merge session into config
  config = mergeService.mergeSession(config, session);
}

// ConfigManager will use ConfigValidationService like this:
const validationService = new ConfigValidationService();
const validation = validationService.validate(config);

if (!validation.isValid) {
  validationService.reportResults(validation, { verbose: true });
  throw new Error("Configuration validation failed");
}
```

---


## Performance Expectations

### SessionAuthService
- **First load**: ~5ms (file read + parse)
- **Cached load**: ~0.1ms (memory access only)
- **Cache revalidation**: ~3ms (stat + hash comparison)
- **Expected reduction in file I/O**: 90%+ (as specified)

### ConfigValidationService
- **Validation time**: ~10-50ms (depends on config size)
- **No performance overhead**: Wraps existing validation logic
- **Memory usage**: Minimal (validation results are small objects)
