## 🧩 Core Components Design

### 1. TimeTrackingController (Main Orchestrator)

**Purpose:** Central coordination of all time tracking operations

**Key Methods:**
```javascript
class TimeTrackingController {
  // Main import workflow
  async importWorklogs(filePath, dryRun = false, dateFilter = null) {
    // 1. Parse CSV file
    // 2. Validate data integrity
    // 3. Fetch existing worklogs
    // 4. Detect conflicts and categorize operations
    // 5. Execute operations with progress tracking
    // 6. Generate summary report
  }

  // Enhanced validation with conflict detection
  async validateTimeConflicts(worklogs) {
    // Internal CSV validation
    // Cross-reference with existing data
    // Generate conflict reports
  }

  // Smart operation categorization
  async categorizeWorklogOperations(imports, existing, authorId) {
    // Exact matching logic
    // Conflict detection
    // Priority-based resolution
    // Operation classification
  }
}
```

**Design Patterns:**
- **Command Pattern:** Each operation type (ADD, UPDATE, DELETE, REPLACE) as command objects
- **Strategy Pattern:** Different conflict resolution strategies
- **Observer Pattern:** Progress reporting during long operations

### 2. TempoAPIService (API Integration)

**Purpose:** Handle all Tempo API communications with resilience

**Key Features:**
```javascript
class TempoAPIService {
  constructor() {
    this.apiClient = axios.create({
      baseURL: config.tempoBaseUrl,
      timeout: 30000,
      headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${config.tempoApiToken}` }
    });
    
    // Rate limiting implementation
    this.rateLimiter = new RateLimiter(300); // 300ms between calls
  }

  // Enhanced worklog creation with MCP integration
  async createWorklogWithMCP(issueKey, hours, startDate, startTime, description) {
    // 1. Resolve issue using MCP
    // 2. Build API payload
    // 3. Execute with retry logic
    // 4. Handle rate limiting
  }

  // Intelligent data filtering
  async getWorklogs(params = {}) {
    // 1. Apply automatic date filtering (avoid old data)
    // 2. Exclude system worklogs (__tempo-io__unknown_user)
    // 3. Expand author and issue details
    // 4. Handle pagination
  }
}
```

**Resilience Patterns:**
- **Circuit Breaker:** Stop calling failing APIs temporarily
- **Retry with Exponential Backoff:** Progressive retry delays
- **Rate Limiting:** Respect API constraints
- **Timeout Handling:** Prevent hanging requests

### 3. MCPJiraService (Issue Resolution)

**Purpose:** Resolve JIRA issue keys to internal IDs using MCP

**Implementation Strategy:**
```javascript
class MCPJiraService {
  constructor() {
    this.knownMappings = new Map(); // Cache for performance
    this.mcpClient = new MCPClient(config.mcpEndpoint);
  }

  async getIssueDetails(issueKey) {
    // 1. Check cache first
    // 2. Query known mappings
    // 3. Fall back to MCP lookup
    // 4. Handle resolution failures
    return { id, key, summary };
  }

  // Batch issue resolution for performance
  async resolveMultipleIssues(issueKeys) {
    // Process in batches to optimize MCP calls
  }
}
```

## 🎛️ Configuration Management

### Environment Configuration
```javascript
// config.js - Centralized configuration management
module.exports = {
  tempo: {
    baseUrl: process.env.TEMPO_BASE_URL || 'https://api.tempo.io/4/',
    apiToken: process.env.TEMPO_API_TOKEN,
    rateLimitMs: parseInt(process.env.RATE_LIMIT_MS) || 300,
    timeout: parseInt(process.env.API_TIMEOUT) || 30000
  },
  
  mcp: {
    endpoint: process.env.MCP_ENDPOINT,
    timeout: parseInt(process.env.MCP_TIMEOUT) || 10000
  },
  
  user: {
    accountId: process.env.USER_ACCOUNT_ID || '712020:xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx',
    timezone: process.env.TIMEZONE || 'UTC'
  },
  
  performance: {
    maxConcurrentRequests: parseInt(process.env.MAX_CONCURRENT) || 10,
    chunkSize: parseInt(process.env.CHUNK_SIZE) || 50,
    memoryLimit: parseInt(process.env.MEMORY_LIMIT_MB) || 512
  }
};
```

    importWL.description === existingWL.description &&
    importWL.startTime === existingWL.startTime &&
    importWL.startDate === existingWL.startDate &&
    importWL.issueKey === this.extractIssueKey(existingWL)
  );
}
```

filterWorklogs(worklogs, authorAccountId) {
  return worklogs.filter(w => {
    // Exclude system worklogs
    if (w.author?.accountId === "__tempo-io__unknown_user") {
      return false;
    }
    
    // Apply date and permission filters
    return this.isActionableWorklog(w, authorAccountId);
  });
}
```

## 🔄 Algorithm Design

### Conflict Resolution Algorithm
```javascript
class ConflictResolver {
  resolve(importEntry, conflictingEntries) {
    const strategy = this.determineStrategy(importEntry, conflictingEntries);
    
    switch (strategy) {
      case 'REPLACE_ALL':
        return {
          operation: 'REPLACE',
          toDelete: conflictingEntries,
          toCreate: importEntry
        };
        
      case 'UPDATE_EXISTING':
        const target = this.findBestMatch(importEntry, conflictingEntries);
        return {
          operation: 'UPDATE',
          target: target,
          changes: this.calculateChanges(importEntry, target)
        };
        
      case 'SKIP_IMPORT':
        return { operation: 'NO_CHANGE' };
    }
  }
  
  determineStrategy(importEntry, conflicts) {
    // Priority rules:
    // 1. Import data always wins for exact matches
    // 2. Replace conflicting time ranges
    // 3. Skip if perfect match exists
  }
}
```

### Performance Optimization Strategies

#### 1. Data Filtering Pipeline
```javascript
const optimizationPipeline = [
  // Stage 1: Server-side filtering
  (params) => ({
    ...params,
    from: '2025-01-01', // Avoid old data
    expand: 'author,issue'
  }),
  
  // Stage 2: Client-side filtering  
  (worklogs) => worklogs.filter(w => 
    w.author?.accountId !== "__tempo-io__unknown_user"
  ),
  
  // Stage 3: Permission-based filtering
  (worklogs, authorId) => worklogs.filter(w =>
    w.author?.accountId === authorId || 
    w.startDate >= recentCutoff
  )
];
```

#### 2. API Rate Limiting
```javascript
class RateLimiter {
  constructor(intervalMs) {
    this.interval = intervalMs;
    this.lastCall = 0;
  }
  
  async wait() {
    const elapsed = Date.now() - this.lastCall;
    if (elapsed < this.interval) {
      await new Promise(resolve => 
        setTimeout(resolve, this.interval - elapsed)
      );
    }
    this.lastCall = Date.now();
  }
}
```

## 🧪 Testing Strategy

### Unit Testing Approach
```javascript
// Example test structure
describe('TimeTrackingController', () => {
  describe('validateTimeConflicts', () => {
    test('should detect overlapping time ranges', () => {
      const worklogs = [
        { startDate: '2025-08-25', startTime: '09:00:00', endTime: '11:00:00' },
        { startDate: '2025-08-25', startTime: '10:00:00', endTime: '12:00:00' }
      ];
      
      const conflicts = controller.validateTimeConflicts(worklogs);
      expect(conflicts).toHaveLength(1);
    });
  });
});
```

### Integration Testing Strategy
- **API Integration:** Mock external services with realistic responses
- **File Processing:** Test with various CSV formats and edge cases
- **End-to-End:** Complete workflow testing with sample data
- **Performance:** Load testing with large datasets

## 📊 Monitoring & Observability

### Logging Strategy
```javascript
const logger = {
  levels: ['debug', 'info', 'warn', 'error'],
  
  info(message, data = {}) {
    console.log(chalk.blue(`[INFO] ${message}`), data);
    this.writeToFile('info', message, data);
  },
  
  error(message, error = null) {
    console.error(chalk.red(`[ERROR] ${message}`));
    if (error) console.error(error.stack);
    this.writeToFile('error', message, { error: error?.message, stack: error?.stack });
  }
};
```

### Performance Metrics
- **Import Duration:** Time to process N worklogs
- **API Success Rate:** Percentage of successful API calls
- **Memory Usage:** Peak memory consumption during imports
- **Conflict Resolution Rate:** Percentage of conflicts resolved automatically
