๐Ÿ“˜ Backend API Library Blueprint

๐Ÿงญ Introduction and Purpose

The Backend API Library Blueprint defines how the AI Software Factory generates reusable, production-ready libraries for interacting with external or internal APIs. These libraries are created from a blueprint definition and implemented via the .NET Core CLI template named:

dotnet new connectsoft-api-library

This blueprint enables agents to rapidly scaffold API client libraries that follow ConnectSoft principles โ€” enabling strong typing, resiliency, observability, and security-first access to remote endpoints.


๐ŸŽฏ Purpose

The blueprint serves to:

  • Encapsulate access to REST, GraphQL, gRPC, or proprietary APIs
  • Provide a typed HTTP interface for application services and other agents
  • Enable standard configuration, auth, logging, retry policies, etc.
  • Package libraries into NuGet-distributable modules
  • Include ready-to-run mock servers and test harnesses for integration and contract testing
  • Document all capabilities via auto-generated usage guides and integration samples

๐Ÿญ Use in the Software Factory

The blueprint is used when:

Scenario Trigger
โœ… A service needs to consume an external API Business Analyst Agent or Solution Architect defines integration need
โœ… A domain module needs to publish an internal service client Domain Architect Agent defines module boundary
โœ… A third-party service is required in multiple modules API Engineer Agent declares shared reusable SDK
โœ… An AI agent needs to wrap its own function via HTTP Tooling Agent emits client to call its own generated service

๐Ÿ“ฆ Typical Output Artifacts

Artifact Description
ConnectSoft.MyCompany.GoogleAnalyticsClient.dll Compiled NuGet package
Http.GoogleAnalyticsClient.cs Strongly typed wrapper around HttpClient
GoogleAnalyticsOptions.cs Binds to configuration (e.g., API key, base URL)
IGoogleAnalyticsClient.cs Interface-first design
tests/ Unit + integration tests
mock-server/ Optional stub/mock implementation for testing pipelines
README.md Usage guide with samples
azure-pipelines.yml CI build/test/publish workflow

๐Ÿ’ก Blueprint Pattern Class

This blueprint belongs to:

  • ๐Ÿงฉ Type: library.blueprint.backend.api
  • ๐Ÿงช Domain: sdk, external-integration, internal-client
  • ๐Ÿ“ Pattern: agentic.library.contract+http+resilience+telemetry

Related Blueprint Purpose
frontend-library-blueprint.md Consumed from frontend codebases (optional proxy wrapper)
platform-blueprint.md May use this library as a package in the host
agent-microservice-blueprint.md Can generate the server-side implementation for this client

โœ… Summary

The Backend API Library Blueprint standardizes how API clients are created, tested, documented, and published as reusable modules in the platform. It combines strong architectural patterns with agent automation, enabling scalable integration at speed.


๐Ÿงญ Key Principles and Design Alignment

This blueprint is deeply aligned with the foundational principles of the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory, ensuring that every generated API library is cleanly structured, modular, observable, and secure by design.


๐Ÿงฑ Clean Architecture Alignment

The backend API library generated by this blueprint follows Clean Architecture by:

  • Isolating the HTTP logic in Infrastructure layer (no leakage into Domain)
  • Providing clear interfaces (I*Client.cs) for injection
  • Ensuring no business logic resides in the library โ€” it acts as a data access boundary

๐Ÿ“‚ Example structure:

src/
  - GoogleAnalyticsClient/
      - IGoogleAnalyticsClient.cs
      - GoogleAnalyticsClient.cs
      - GoogleAnalyticsOptions.cs
      - Http/
      - Extensions/
      - Configuration/

๐Ÿงฉ Domain-Driven Design (DDD) Principles

  • Clients are named after bounded contexts or external APIs (Analytics, Payments, CRM)
  • Optionally include value objects or response DTOs (from OpenAPI or manually modeled)
  • Designed to fit cleanly inside domain service layers, not UI or infrastructure mixing

๐Ÿ” Event-Driven and Observable

  • Out-of-the-box support for emitting:

  • HttpRequestStarted, HttpRequestFailed, HttpResponseReceived events

  • Trace IDs injected via middleware
  • Metrics for latency, retry count, success/failure rate

These events flow into:

  • Azure Application Insights
  • OpenTelemetry pipelines
  • Event Mesh (Kafka/Event Grid) for distributed tracing

๐Ÿ“ก Observability-First Design

Capability Included? Notes
Structured Logging โœ… Serilog sinks, context-rich logs
Distributed Tracing โœ… Uses trace/context propagation middleware
Metrics (Latency, Errors) โœ… Default Prometheus exporters supported
Retry/Audit Events โœ… Logged and tracked

๐Ÿงฐ Modular, Composable, Extensible

  • Each client library is a self-contained package
  • Optional plugins: ICacheHandler, IRetryPolicy, IRequestSigner
  • Support for dependency injection via .AddGoogleAnalyticsClient() style extension

๐Ÿงฉ Supports integration with:

  • OpenId Connect libraries
  • Configuration providers (Azure App Config, Vaults)
  • Testing/mocking frameworks

๐Ÿ›ก Security-First Architecture

  • No secrets are hardcoded โ€” all credentials injected via IOptions
  • Supports bearer token injection, API key headers, and OIDC delegation
  • Optional rate limiting, circuit breaking, IP restrictions

๐Ÿง  AI-Aware Blueprint Design

  • Blueprint includes prompts for:
    • API docs ingestion
    • Response/DTO modeling from samples
    • Retry policy generation
  • Memory stores track failures, usage feedback, agent improvements

โœ… Summary

The backend API library blueprint doesnโ€™t just scaffold code โ€” it embeds best practices from Clean Architecture, DDD, observability, and modular thinking into every line. Every agent using this blueprint builds libraries that are secure, testable, observable, and production-ready โ€” by default.


๐Ÿงญ Generation Source: Template CLI and Blueprint Definition

This section explains the technical origin of the backend API library blueprint: it is instantiated via a specialized .NET CLI template and configured through an AI-readable blueprint definition. The combination enables fully agentic, repeatable scaffolding with predictable structure and metadata.


โš™๏ธ .NET CLI Template

The blueprint is implemented via the ConnectSoft CLI template:

dotnet new connectsoft-api-library --name GoogleAnalyticsClient

This template generates a complete multi-project solution:

Project Description
GoogleAnalyticsClient Main API logic and client
GoogleAnalyticsClient.Tests Unit and integration test project
GoogleAnalyticsClient.MockServer Optional mock service for local and CI testing
GoogleAnalyticsClient.Configuration Strongly typed Options and DI extensions
.factory/ Blueprint metadata and traceability context

๐Ÿง  Input: Blueprint DSL / YAML

The generation process is driven by a YAML blueprint definition like this:

id: ConnectSoft.Backend.GoogleAnalyticsClient
type: backend.api.library
template: connectsoft-api-library
parameters:
  baseUrl: "https://analytics.googleapis.com/v1"
  authentication: oauth2
  retryPolicy: true
  traceIntegration: true
  optionsBinding: true
metadata:
  createdBy: ApiScaffolderAgent
  originatingRunId: RUN-2025-06-07-001

This DSL is parsed by the agent, and prompts are shaped accordingly to guide the CLI invocation and post-processing.


โš™๏ธ Template Features Supported

Feature Supported? Source
Typed HttpClient โœ… Scaffolded via base template
DI Extensions โœ… AddGoogleAnalyticsClient(IServiceCollection)
Test Templates โœ… MSTest, Moq, AutoFixture
Retry + Resilience โœ… Optional flag in DSL
Config Binding โœ… .UseGoogleAnalyticsOptions()
Telemetry Hooks โœ… OpenTelemetry/Serilog pre-wired
NuGet Packaging โœ… pack task and nuspec auto-filled

๐Ÿง  Output: Traceability Context

Every generated project includes .factory/blueprint.meta.json:

{
  "id": "ConnectSoft.Backend.GoogleAnalyticsClient",
  "template": "connectsoft-api-library",
  "agent": "ApiScaffolderAgent",
  "createdAt": "2025-06-07T13:52:00Z",
  "parameters": {
    "authentication": "oauth2",
    "retryPolicy": true
  }
}

This enables regeneration, memory linking, reuse, and documentation automation.

๐Ÿ“˜ Documentation README.md, features.md, Usage.md, Authentication.md Agent-generated guides
โš™๏ธ CI/CD Pipeline azure-pipelines.yml or ci.yaml Ready-to-use DevOps YAML pipeline
๐Ÿ” Mock Server GoogleAnalyticsClient.MockServer.dll, Dockerfile (optional) Simulated API for contract & integration testing
๐Ÿง  Trace Metadata .factory/blueprint.meta.json Traceable execution context
๐Ÿงฌ DSL Blueprint blueprints/blueprint.yaml The blueprint that defines and reproduces the library
๐Ÿ“ค OpenAPI Snapshots openapi.schema.json (optional) Used when syncing API clients with server definitions

๐Ÿง  Deep Integration into Factory Memory

Every artifact is:

  • Tagged by its blueprint.id, version, and agent origin
  • Stored in:
    • Azure Artifacts (NuGet feed)
    • Azure DevOps pipeline storage
    • Vector DB for embedding and reuse search
  • Linked to its original AgentRunId and DSL input

This enables:

  • Auditability of generated components
  • Full regeneration from metadata
  • Memory-based similarity search (e.g., โ€œFind clients similar to this oneโ€)

๐Ÿงฉ Example Use: App Consumes Published NuGet

dotnet add package ConnectSoft.GoogleAnalyticsClient
services.AddGoogleAnalyticsClient(configuration);
var client = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IGoogleAnalyticsClient>();
await client.TrackEventAsync("campaign");

โœ… Summary

The backend API library blueprint produces more than just code โ€” it yields a full constellation of publishable, observable, testable artifacts that can be consumed across microservices, apps, and agents. These outputs are machine-traceable and composable โ€” making every API client a secure, reusable module in the ConnectSoft software ecosystem.


๐Ÿงญ When to Use This Blueprint

This section defines when and why an agent or engineer should instantiate the backend API library blueprint. It helps differentiate its use from other blueprint types (e.g. microservices, frontend libraries) and clarifies best-fit scenarios across system architecture and product needs.


๐Ÿงฉ Primary Use Cases

Scenario Use This Blueprint
โœ… A backend service needs to call an external 3rd-party API YES โ€“ Generate a secure, typed HTTP client wrapper
โœ… An internal domain module wants to expose a reusable service interface YES โ€“ Produce a NuGet SDK-style library
โœ… An AI agent wraps a service it generates via REST YES โ€“ Creates a usable interface for self-call or downstream agents
โŒ A service hosts endpoints and needs to scale independently โŒ Use the agent-microservice-blueprint.md
โŒ A UI consumes APIs directly via TypeScript or Blazor โŒ Use the frontend-library-blueprint.md
โœ… Common tenant-aware services (e.g. billing, audit) consumed by many apps YES โ€“ Abstract client logic into a library with shared responsibility

๐ŸŽฏ Ideal Blueprint Characteristics

  • โœ… Pull-based communication (client โ†’ service)
  • โœ… Reusable logic across services or apps
  • โœ… No need for database or hosting runtime
  • โœ… Strong need for authentication, observability, retries
  • โœ… Output is a NuGet-distributed .NET library

๐Ÿง  Triggering Agents

Agent Triggering Condition
Business Analyst Agent Identifies integration need with external API
Solution Architect Agent Models boundary between services and suggests reuse
Platform Agent Extracts shared logic from multiple microservices
DevOps Agent Creates standard pipelines and artifacts for API integration
AI Runtime Agent Needs to expose or consume a backend function securely

๐Ÿ“˜ Examples

Case Result
๐Ÿงพ CRM system wants to push customer events to Segment Generates SegmentClient with OAuth2
๐Ÿงพ Payment Service needs to call Stripe API Generates StripeClient with API key support
๐Ÿงพ Tenant Management needs to centralize billing across apps Generates reusable TenantBillingClient NuGet
๐Ÿงพ AI Agent wraps an internal retry-and-queue system Outputs RetryClient used in runtime orchestration

๐Ÿงฉ Library vs. Microservice Decision

Feature Library Blueprint Microservice Blueprint
Hosting runtime โŒ No โœ… Yes
External HTTP endpoints โŒ No โœ… Yes
Pulls external data โœ… Yes โŒ No
Reused across other modules โœ… Yes โ›” Rarely
Deployed independently โŒ No โœ… Yes
Published as NuGet โœ… Yes โŒ No

โœ… Summary

The backend API library blueprint is ideal for producing typed, authenticated, observable client wrappers for remote APIs โ€” internal or external. It enables reuse, testing, and CI/CD at the library level, without the burden of full microservice deployment. It is the default choice whenever your service needs to consume other services reliably and securely.


๐Ÿงญ Blueprint DSL and Configurable Parameters

This section describes the blueprint definition schema (DSL) used by agents to instantiate and configure backend API libraries. The DSL allows agents to declaratively define the behavior, dependencies, security, and observability expectations of the generated library โ€” before code is written.


๐Ÿ“˜ Sample DSL Snippet

id: ConnectSoft.Backend.StripeClient
type: backend.api.library
template: connectsoft-api-library
parameters:
  baseUrl: "https://api.stripe.com/v1"
  authentication:
    type: apiKey
    headerName: "Authorization"
    prefix: "Bearer "
  retryPolicy:
    strategy: exponentialBackoff
    maxAttempts: 5
  telemetry:
    enabled: true
    tracing: true
    metrics: true
  options:
    enabled: true
    bindFrom: "Stripe:Client"
  environments:
    - Development
    - Production

๐Ÿ”ง Supported Parameters

Parameter Description Example
baseUrl Base endpoint of the API https://api.stripe.com/v1
authentication Auth strategy (API key, OAuth2, custom) apiKey, oauth2
retryPolicy Retry/backoff config exponentialBackoff, linear, none
telemetry Enable logs, traces, metrics enabled: true
options Bind config to IOptions<T> Bind from appsettings
environments List of supported environments Development, Staging, Production
headers Custom headers to inject { x-api-version: "v1" }
rateLimiting Enable local rate limiter enabled: true, window: 1s, max: 10

๐Ÿง  DSL Usage in Agent Prompts

Agents use the DSL fields to:

  • Shape prompt for client method extraction:
    • e.g., "Here is the OpenAPI spec and base URL. GenerateIAnalyticsClientinterface using baseUrl from DSL."
  • Inject conditional logic:
    • If authentication.type = oauth2, scaffold token providers and AuthorizationHandler
  • Compose observability config:
    • Telemetry decorators inserted only if telemetry.enabled = true
  • Choose environment-specific overrides:
    • E.g., use mock baseUrl in Development

๐Ÿงฉ Modular Extensions

The DSL is composable โ€” additional blueprint fragments can extend the base spec:

extends:
  - observability-standard
  - retry-default

Agents can use shared fragments (stored in vector memory or blob) to apply reusable patterns.


๐Ÿงฌ Versioned DSL

Each blueprint can be versioned and replayed. DSLs are saved into:

  • .factory/blueprint.meta.json
  • blueprints/blueprint.yaml
  • Memory vector index for lookup and regeneration

๐Ÿ“˜ Validated DSL Schema (JSON)

Blueprints follow a schema-compatible structure and are validated prior to generation:

{
  "type": "object",
  "required": ["id", "template", "parameters"],
  "properties": {
    "authentication": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "type": { "enum": ["apiKey", "oauth2", "custom"] },
        "headerName": { "type": "string" }
      }
    }
  }
}

โœ… Summary

The DSL gives agents declarative control over how an API library is structured, secured, and wired. It ensures reproducibility, allows conditional prompt logic, and supports memory-driven reuse of patterns across blueprints. Itโ€™s the foundation of blueprint-driven scaffolding in the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory.


๐Ÿงญ Example Instantiation Flow: From DSL to Working Library

This section illustrates a complete agentic instantiation flow of the backend API library blueprint โ€” starting from an integration need, through DSL definition and prompt orchestration, to a fully generated, testable, publishable client library.


๐Ÿ“˜ Scenario: Stripe API Integration

"The Product Owner requests secure, reusable access to the Stripe Billing API for recurring subscriptions."


๐Ÿง  Step-by-Step Agent Flow

Produces:

  • StripeClient/
  • StripeClient.Tests/
  • StripeClient.MockServer/
  • .factory/blueprint.meta.json

๐Ÿงช Example Generated Interface

public interface IStripeClient
{
    Task<CustomerResponse> GetCustomerAsync(string customerId, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
    Task<InvoiceResponse> CreateInvoiceAsync(CreateInvoiceRequest request, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
}

๐Ÿš€ Sample Usage (Consumer App)

services.AddStripeClient(Configuration);
var stripe = sp.GetRequiredService<IStripeClient>();
var invoice = await stripe.CreateInvoiceAsync(new CreateInvoiceRequest { ... });

๐Ÿ“˜ Generated README (Excerpt)

# StripeClient

> ConnectSoft API client for Stripe Billing v1

## ๐Ÿ” Authentication

This client uses Bearer token-based API key auth.

Set in `appsettings.json`:

```json
"Stripe": {
  "ApiKey": "sk_test_123456..."
}
```

## ๐Ÿ“ฆ Installation

```bash
dotnet add package ConnectSoft.StripeClient
```

๐Ÿ” Trace Metadata

Saved in .factory/blueprint.meta.json:

{
  "id": "ConnectSoft.Backend.StripeClient",
  "agent": "LibraryScaffolderAgent",
  "originatingRunId": "RUN-2025-06-07-024",
  "parameters": {
    "authentication": "apiKey",
    "retryPolicy": "exponentialBackoff"
  }
}

โœ… Summary

This example shows how a simple DSL blueprint can drive an automated, production-grade API integration โ€” complete with authentication, retries, observability, CI/CD, tests, and documentation. The entire flow is reproducible, traceable, and memory-indexed for future reuse or mutation.


๐Ÿงญ Cross-Blueprint Dependencies and Shared Integrations

This section explains how backend API libraries generated by this blueprint can depend on, extend, or compose with other blueprints โ€” forming modular, reusable service SDKs that integrate deeply across the ConnectSoft platform.

๐Ÿงฉ Typical Dependencies

Blueprint Integration Mode Description
observability-blueprint.md Decorators / DI hooks Logging, tracing, metrics injected into client
configuration-blueprint.md Options pattern Auto-binds appsettings.json or Vault
testing-blueprint.md Test base, mocks Used to generate mock servers and test doubles
frontend-library-blueprint.md API shape mirroring Shared DTOs or signature alignment
agent-microservice-blueprint.md Server implementation Generated library may call generated microservice
platform-blueprint.md Compositional reuse Library injected as NuGet into platform host apps

๐Ÿ” Blueprint Reuse Example

๐Ÿ“˜ StripeClient is consumed in:

  • TenantBillingService (microservice blueprint)
  • ConnectSoft Platform (platform blueprint)
  • TenantPortalWebApp (frontend blueprint via proxy bridge)

๐Ÿง  Agent-Level Collaboration

Producer Agent Consuming Agent
LibraryScaffolderAgent DocsAgent, PipelineAgent
AuthInjectorAgent ObservabilityAgent
MockServerAgent TestGeneratorAgent
PlatformOrchestratorAgent Reuses NuGet from API library blueprint

This interaction is orchestrated by blueprint dependency graphs, where each artifact carries a dependsOn metadata block.


๐Ÿ“˜ Blueprint Metadata Extension

{
  "id": "ConnectSoft.Backend.StripeClient",
  "dependsOn": [
    "blueprint.configuration.standard",
    "blueprint.observability.default",
    "blueprint.testing.mstest"
  ]
}

This allows agents to automatically resolve and inject additional blueprints or capabilities during generation.


๐Ÿ“ฆ Shared Packages/Artifacts

Generated backend API libraries may depend on shared ConnectSoft nugets such as:

NuGet Package Purpose
ConnectSoft.Extensions.Http.OpenIdConnect Token handler for OIDC flows
ConnectSoft.Resilience Retry, circuit breaker decorators
ConnectSoft.Observability.Core Logging, tracing, metrics hooks
ConnectSoft.Testing.MockServer Prebuilt HTTP mocks and assert helpers

๐Ÿ“‚ Output Folder Enrichment

Blueprints may co-locate shared components or emit them into the same workspace for local linking:

/src/
  StripeClient/
  ConnectSoft.Observability.Core/     <-- Injected from observability blueprint
  ConnectSoft.Configuration.Shared/

โœ… Summary

The backend API library blueprint is not isolated โ€” it is composable and interconnected with the larger platform via blueprint dependencies, shared agents, and layered artifact reuse. This makes it scalable, traceable, and evolvable โ€” while minimizing code duplication and siloed integrations.


๐Ÿงญ Typed HTTP Client Design and Interface Generation

This section focuses on how the blueprint generates typed, testable, and DI-ready HTTP clients. These clients are scaffolded with explicit interfaces, clean request/response models, and extensible behavior hooks โ€” enabling composable and resilient backend API access.


๐Ÿ”ง Interface-First Design Pattern

The generated client adheres to the interface-first principle:

public interface IStripeClient
{
    Task<CustomerResponse> GetCustomerAsync(string customerId, CancellationToken ct = default);
    Task<InvoiceResponse> CreateInvoiceAsync(CreateInvoiceRequest request, CancellationToken ct = default);
}

The implementation:

public class StripeClient : IStripeClient
{
    private readonly HttpClient client;

    public StripeClient(HttpClient client)
    {
        this.client = client;
    }

    public async Task<CustomerResponse> GetCustomerAsync(string customerId, CancellationToken ct)
    {
        var response = await client.GetAsync($"/customers/{customerId}", ct);
        response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
        return await response.Content.ReadFromJsonAsync<CustomerResponse>(cancellationToken: ct);
    }
}

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Generated via Agentic Template

  • Interface and class are generated from:
    • OpenAPI spec
    • Sample JSON
    • User-defined prompt
  • Optional fallback: agents prompt GPT to infer methods from API doc text

๐Ÿงฉ Benefits of Interface-First Approach

Benefit Description
๐Ÿงช Testability Allows mocking of IStripeClient in unit tests
๐Ÿ”„ Swappability Can replace implementation at runtime (e.g., mock, proxy)
๐Ÿง  LLM Reasoning Simplifies reflection, traceability, and behavioral prompts
๐Ÿ›  DI Compatibility Plugs into factory-wide AddXyzClient() extensions
๐Ÿ“˜ Auto-docs Enables agents to generate usage snippets from method signature

๐Ÿ”Œ Typed HttpClient Injection

The client is registered via DI:

services.AddHttpClient<IStripeClient, StripeClient>()
    .ConfigureHttpClient((sp, client) =>
    {
        var opts = sp.GetRequiredService<IOptions<StripeOptions>>().Value;
        client.BaseAddress = new Uri(opts.BaseUrl);
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", opts.ApiKey);
    })
    .AddPolicyHandler(RetryPolicies.ExponentialBackoff());

This supports:

  • โœ… Resiliency decorators
  • โœ… Telemetry middleware (e.g., TracingHandler)
  • โœ… Config-driven headers and base URLs

๐Ÿง  AI Prompt Sample

You are the API Client Agent.

You are given:
- baseUrl: https://api.stripe.com/v1
- Auth type: API Key in Bearer header
- Required methods: create invoice, get customer

Produce:
- `IStripeClient` interface
- `StripeClient` implementation
- Typed models in `Requests/` and `Responses/`
- DI registration extension

โœ… Summary

Typed HTTP clients are the core output artifact of the backend API blueprint. They expose clean, versioned, observable interfaces with testability, DI support, and resiliency built-in โ€” enabling the factory to scale integrations without sacrificing maintainability.


๐Ÿงญ Authentication and Authorization Strategies

This section defines the authentication mechanisms supported by the backend API library blueprint and how they are injected, abstracted, and configured during agentic generation. These strategies ensure secure access to both internal and external services in a reusable and pluggable way.


๐Ÿ” Supported Auth Strategies

Strategy Description Example Use
apiKey Static key passed in a header or query param Stripe, SendGrid, Mailchimp
oauth2-client-credentials Machine-to-machine OAuth 2.0 flow Microsoft Graph, Salesforce, HubSpot
openIdConnect Identity tokens, user delegation Azure AD, Auth0
custom Agent-defined injectors, dynamic headers Partner APIs, legacy systems

๐Ÿ”ง DSL Example

authentication:
  type: oauth2-client-credentials
  tokenUrl: https://login.microsoftonline.com/tenant/oauth2/v2.0/token
  clientId: __from_config__
  clientSecret: __from_keyvault__
  scope: https://graph.microsoft.com/.default

๐Ÿงฉ Injection via Decorator Handlers

The generated client uses delegating handlers to insert tokens automatically:

public class OAuth2AuthorizationHandler : DelegatingHandler
{
    private readonly ITokenProvider tokenProvider;

    public OAuth2AuthorizationHandler(ITokenProvider tokenProvider) =>
        this.tokenProvider = tokenProvider;

    protected override async Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        var token = await tokenProvider.GetAccessTokenAsync();
        request.Headers.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);
        return await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
    }
}

Registered via DI:

services.AddTransient<OAuth2AuthorizationHandler>();
services.AddHttpClient<IMyClient, MyClient>()
        .AddHttpMessageHandler<OAuth2AuthorizationHandler>();

๐Ÿ” API Key Configuration

For simpler APIs using static keys:

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", $"Bearer {opts.ApiKey}");

API keys are securely bound via IOptions<T>:

"Stripe": {
  "ApiKey": "sk_test_..."
}
services.Configure<StripeOptions>(Configuration.GetSection("Stripe"));

๐Ÿง  Token Providers and Reuse

Agents may inject:

  • IClientCredentialTokenProvider for OAuth2 client flow
  • IOpenIdConnectTokenProvider for ID tokens
  • ICustomHeaderInjector for proprietary logic

These are shared across libraries and available as reusable nugets.


๐Ÿ” Token Caching

The blueprint integrates with a platform-wide caching layer:

Feature Behavior
Memory Cache Default per-process access token reuse
Distributed Cache Optional for clustered environments
Token TTL Awareness Respects expires_in from token response

๐Ÿ”’ Secrets and Key Vault Support

The blueprint never hardcodes secrets. It supports:

  • Azure Key Vault via:
    • ISecretProvider
    • Configuration binding from Managed Identity
  • Local secrets via .usersecrets
  • CI-injected secrets via pipeline variables

โœ… Summary

Authentication in the backend API library blueprint is flexible, pluggable, and composable. Agents configure it via DSL, and the scaffolded client ensures proper injection, caching, and reuse of credentials โ€” across APIs and runtime environments โ€” without security compromises.


๐Ÿงญ Resiliency Layer: Retries, Circuit Breakers, Bulkheads

This section outlines how the backend API library blueprint integrates resiliency patterns to ensure robustness and fault tolerance when communicating with remote APIs โ€” including automatic retries, fallback strategies, timeout handling, and optional circuit breakers.


๐Ÿงฐ Resiliency Features Built-In

Capability Included Description
โœ… Retry Policies โœ”๏ธ Retry transient failures (e.g., HTTP 429, 503)
โœ… Timeout Policies โœ”๏ธ Abort long-running requests gracefully
โœ… Circuit Breakers โณ Opt-in Stop requests temporarily after repeated failures
โœ… Bulkhead Isolation โณ Opt-in Limit concurrency for expensive endpoints

These behaviors are injected via HttpClient policies and are configurable through DSL or DI.


๐Ÿ”ง DSL Configuration Example

retryPolicy:
  strategy: exponentialBackoff
  maxAttempts: 5
  delay: 1s
  jitter: true

circuitBreaker:
  enabled: true
  failureThreshold: 10
  breakDuration: 30s

โš™๏ธ Resiliency Implementation (Polly)

Generated code uses Polly or platform-specific wrappers:

services.AddHttpClient<IStripeClient, StripeClient>()
    .AddPolicyHandler(Policy<HttpResponseMessage>
      .Handle<HttpRequestException>()
      .OrResult(r => r.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.TooManyRequests)
      .WaitAndRetryAsync(5, retryAttempt => 
          TimeSpan.FromSeconds(Math.Pow(2, retryAttempt))
      ));

๐Ÿ” Other strategies:

  • Retry-After header aware
  • Circuit breaker:
.AddPolicyHandler(Policy<HttpResponseMessage>
    .Handle<Exception>()
    .CircuitBreakerAsync(10, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)));

๐Ÿงช Testing & Simulation

The generated library includes:

  • ResiliencyTests.cs to simulate failure conditions
  • Optional mock server support to inject:
    • 500, 503, 429 responses
    • Timeout conditions
    • Header-based retry instructions

๐Ÿ“ˆ Telemetry Hooks

All retry/circuit logic is observable:

Metric Description
retry_attempt_count Total retries
circuit_state Closed / Open / Half-Open
timeout_count Requests aborted due to timeout
fallback_used Was a fallback strategy applied?

Emitted via OpenTelemetry or ILogger.


๐Ÿ”Œ Optional Custom Decorators

Blueprint supports:

  • Custom retry selector
  • Retry per-method granularity
  • Fallback method decorators (optional in future blueprint evolution)
[RetryPolicy(RetryType.Exponential, MaxRetries = 4)]
Task<MyResponse> GetData();

โš™๏ธ Agents may inject such attributes via code-generation if DSL enables advanced resiliency profiles.


โœ… Summary

The backend API library blueprint ensures production-grade resilience out of the box. With retry policies, circuit breakers, and observability hooks integrated via configuration and agents, every generated client can safely call external systems โ€” even under partial failure or load spikes.


๐Ÿงญ Observability Integration: Logs, Traces, Metrics

This section describes how the backend API library blueprint embeds observability hooks โ€” enabling real-time insights into client behavior, performance bottlenecks, failures, and usage patterns across distributed systems.


๐Ÿ” Observability Pillars

Pillar Implementation
๐Ÿ“œ Logs Structured logging via ILogger
๐Ÿ“ˆ Metrics Built-in counters, histograms, timers
๐Ÿ“ก Tracing Distributed trace context propagation using OpenTelemetry
๐Ÿง  Events Span events for retries, exceptions, fallbacks

All are enabled by default, and agents may disable specific pieces via blueprint DSL.


๐Ÿง  Blueprint DSL Example

telemetry:
  enabled: true
  logging: true
  tracing: true
  metrics: true

๐Ÿงฑ Instrumentation Points

Layer Instrumentation
HTTP Pipeline Request start/end logs, error logs, retry logs
Retry Middleware Emits retry count, result state
Circuit Breaker Logs state transitions (open/close), failure reasons
Client Interface Trace spans per method
Authentication Token fetch timing, cache hits/misses

๐Ÿ“œ Logging Format (Serilog / ILogger)

{
  "timestamp": "2025-06-07T14:35:21Z",
  "message": "StripeClient.GetInvoiceAsync executed",
  "httpMethod": "GET",
  "url": "https://api.stripe.com/v1/invoices/inv_123",
  "durationMs": 482,
  "statusCode": 200,
  "retryAttempts": 1,
  "traceId": "b3943c2...c71"
}

Logs include:

  • Correlation IDs
  • Span IDs
  • Retry/circuit state
  • User/tenant context if available

๐Ÿ“ก OpenTelemetry Tracing

Every client method is wrapped in:

using var span = tracer.StartActiveSpan("StripeClient.GetInvoice");

With trace context passed via:

  • HttpRequestMessage.Headers
  • B3, W3C Trace Context, or custom format

Spans are exported to:

  • Jaeger
  • Zipkin
  • Azure Monitor
  • Prometheus (via otel-collector)

๐Ÿ“ˆ Metrics Emitted

Metric Name Type Purpose
http_request_duration_seconds Histogram API latency
retry_attempt_count Counter Retry operations
client_failure_count Counter Failures grouped by status
circuit_state Gauge Current CB state (0=closed, 1=open)

๐Ÿงช Test Verification

The blueprint includes tests to validate:

  • Logs are emitted
  • Spans are created
  • Metrics counters increment correctly

Can be run with mock tracing and log collectors in CI.


๐Ÿง  Agent Skills Used

Agent Skills
ObservabilityAgent TelemetryHookInjectorSkill, SpanTemplateGeneratorSkill
TestAgent ObservabilityAssertionsSkill, MetricsValidationSkill

โœ… Summary

Observability in this blueprint is first-class โ€” not a plugin. Logs, metrics, and traces are automatically injected into every generated client, ensuring every interaction with remote services is measurable, debuggable, and traceable across the ConnectSoft platform.


๐Ÿงญ Configuration Binding and Multi-Environment Support

This section details how the backend API library blueprint enables configuration flexibility across environments by generating standardized IOptions<T> bindings, support for secret injection, and runtime switching logic โ€” essential for tenant-aware, secure, and portable deployments.


๐Ÿ”ง Blueprint DSL Configuration Section

options:
  enabled: true
  bindFrom: "Stripe"
  environments:
    - Development
    - Staging
    - Production

๐Ÿงฉ Generated Options Class

public class StripeOptions
{
    public string BaseUrl { get; set; }
    public string ApiKey { get; set; }
    public bool UseSandbox { get; set; }
}

โš™๏ธ Configuration Binding Setup

Generated extension method:

services.Configure<StripeOptions>(
    Configuration.GetSection("Stripe"));

The client is bound as:

services.AddHttpClient<IStripeClient, StripeClient>()
    .ConfigureHttpClient((sp, client) =>
    {
        var options = sp.GetRequiredService<IOptions<StripeOptions>>().Value;
        client.BaseAddress = new Uri(options.BaseUrl);
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization =
            new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", options.ApiKey);
    });

๐Ÿ“ Environment-Specific Configuration Files

File Use
appsettings.Development.json Local or mock servers
appsettings.Production.json Real service endpoints
appsettings.Test.json CI test stubs
// appsettings.Production.json
{
  "Stripe": {
    "BaseUrl": "https://api.stripe.com/v1",
    "ApiKey": "__from_keyvault__"
  }
}

๐Ÿ” KeyVault bindings are auto-injected via configuration providers.


๐Ÿ”„ Environment-Sensitive Behaviors

Feature Use Case
Mock server in Development Simulated API test double
Rate limiting disabled in Staging Easier QA throughput
Strict timeout in Production Prevents runaway retries
Logging verbosity adjusted More verbose in Debug, errors only in Prod

๐Ÿ”ง Optional Bindings

The blueprint allows mapping other sections via:

bindFrom: "Services:Stripe:Client"

Supports deep navigation, prefix aliasing, and custom IConfigurationSection logic.


๐Ÿ” Secrets Management Integration

Supports secrets loaded from:

  • Azure Key Vault (via DefaultAzureCredential)
  • .usersecrets
  • Environment Variables
  • CI/CD Variable Groups

๐Ÿ”’ Keys like ApiKey, ClientSecret, and TenantId are never hardcoded.


๐Ÿง  Generated Metadata

The blueprint emits:

{
  "config": {
    "boundOptions": "StripeOptions",
    "section": "Stripe",
    "environmentSupport": ["Development", "Staging", "Production"]
  }
}

โœ… Summary

Every backend API library generated from this blueprint includes robust configuration scaffolding โ€” environment-aware, options-bound, and secret-ready. This makes the client safe, portable, and CI/CD-friendly, whether running locally, in tests, or across cloud environments.


๐Ÿงญ Unit, Integration, and Contract Testing Strategy

This section outlines the testing strategy built into the blueprint โ€” ensuring that generated backend API libraries are verifiable through unit tests, integration tests (real and simulated), and contract tests aligned with observability and authentication expectations.


๐Ÿ”ฌ Testing Layers Generated

Layer Type Purpose
๐Ÿงช Unit Tests Pure C# logic (e.g., auth header, DTO validation) Fast feedback
๐ŸŒ Integration Tests Live or mock endpoint invocations End-to-end behavior
๐Ÿ“œ Contract Tests Validates client matches OpenAPI or expected response structure Ensures schema sync
๐Ÿ”’ Security Tests Verifies token injection, permission failures Boundary enforcement

๐Ÿ“‚ Test Project Layout

/tests/
  GoogleAnalyticsClient.Tests/
    - StripeClientTests.cs
    - StripeAuthTests.cs
    - StripeResiliencyTests.cs
    - StripeMockServerFixture.cs

โš™๏ธ Test Frameworks

  • ๐Ÿงช MSTest (default) or xUnit, depending on template variant
  • ๐Ÿค– MockHttpMessageHandler for simulating HTTP flows
  • ๐Ÿงฑ TestServer or WireMock.Net for full protocol simulation
  • ๐Ÿ” IOptionsSnapshot<T> + test-specific DI configuration

๐Ÿง  Agent-Initiated Test Generation

Agents generate tests from:

  • DSL (retryPolicy, auth, metrics โ†’ should retry on 503)
  • Sample payloads
  • MockServer DSL
  • Usage examples (e.g., from API docs)

Example auto-generated test case:

[TestMethod]
public async Task GetInvoice_ShouldRetryOn503()
{
    var mock = new MockHttpMessageHandler();
    mock.Expect("/invoices/inv_123")
        .Respond(HttpStatusCode.ServiceUnavailable);
    mock.Expect("/invoices/inv_123")
        .Respond(HttpStatusCode.OK, "application/json", "{...}");

    var client = new StripeClient(mock.ToHttpClient());
    var result = await client.GetInvoiceAsync("inv_123");

    Assert.IsNotNull(result);
    mock.VerifyNoOutstandingExpectation();
}

๐Ÿค Contract Testing Option

When OpenAPI spec is known or imported:

  • Contract tests validate:

  • DTOs match response schema

  • Required fields present
  • HTTP methods and paths align

Tooling includes:

  • NSwag or OpenAPI.NET
  • WireMock with schema stubbing

๐Ÿ“ˆ Telemetry Assertions

The blueprint injects test helpers to validate:

  • Logs emitted
  • Spans created
  • Retry metrics increased
AssertMetric("retry_attempt_count", expected: 2);
AssertSpan("StripeClient.CreateInvoice", status: SpanStatus.Ok);

๐Ÿงช Test Modes per Environment

Mode Description
Test Fast, mock-based
Staging Live endpoint tests (optional pipeline trigger)
CI Replays integration with local test server
Chaos (future) Inject failure conditions via chaos agent

โœ… Summary

The blueprint ensures every generated backend API library includes a complete testing stack โ€” not only validating logic correctness, but also verifying telemetry, configuration, retries, and contracts. This improves confidence, security, and compliance in every service that consumes these libraries.


๐Ÿงญ Mock Server and Sandbox Generation Support

This section covers how the backend API library blueprint generates a mock server alongside the client library. This mock server acts as a sandboxed test double for local development, CI testing, AI agent self-call simulations, and contract validation โ€” without needing real API access.


๐Ÿงช Purpose of the Mock Server

Use Case Description
๐Ÿงช Local Testing Simulates API responses for integration tests and debugging
๐Ÿง  Agent Sandbox Allows AI agents to test calls without external dependencies
โœ… CI Pipelines Reliable test runs with no 3rd-party failures
๐Ÿ“œ Contract Testing Validate generated client conforms to expected structure
๐Ÿงฑ Multi-tenant Simulation Emulate different environments or tenants

โš™๏ธ Features of the Mock Server

Feature Description
โœ… Route matching Handles all client interface methods
๐Ÿงช Predefined fixtures Static or templated JSON files for repeatable outputs
๐Ÿ”„ Delay simulation Artificial latency, timeouts for resiliency tests
๐Ÿ” Behavior switching Return 200, 404, 503, or malformed responses
๐Ÿ” Token check Can optionally validate API keys, tokens
๐Ÿง  AI sandbox hooks Allows agent-triggered overrides of behavior

๐Ÿงฉ Configuration Example

app.MapGet("/customers/{id}", (string id) => 
{
    return Results.Ok(new { id, name = "Test Customer", email = "test@connectsoft.ai" });
});

Or dynamically from fixture:

app.MapPost("/invoices", async (HttpContext ctx) =>
{
    var json = await File.ReadAllTextAsync("Fixtures/CreateInvoice.json");
    return Results.Json(JsonSerializer.Deserialize<object>(json)!);
});

๐Ÿ“ Fixture File Example

{
  "id": "inv_12345",
  "status": "draft",
  "customer": "cus_67890"
}

๐Ÿง  Agent Interaction

Agents like TestGeneratorAgent or RuntimeSimAgent can:

  • Launch the mock server in isolated mode
  • Inject temporary fixtures or behaviors via DSL
  • Validate outputs from the mock during replay
  • Record conversation for feedback loops

๐Ÿ”ง CLI Launch in Local Dev

dotnet run --project src/GoogleAnalyticsClient.MockServer

Also used by CI with environment variable USE_MOCK_SERVER=true


๐Ÿ” CI Integration

  • Runs in background process during test stage
  • Used for:

  • Contract validation

  • Resiliency testing
  • Retry simulation

๐Ÿง  DSL Control for Mock Mode

mockServer:
  enabled: true
  delayMs: 250
  failureRate: 10%
  returnMalformedJson: false

This allows the agent to simulate degraded or edge scenarios.


โœ… Summary

Mock server generation is a first-class citizen in the backend API library blueprint. It enables agentic development, repeatable testing, and safer deployments โ€” giving AI agents and human developers a controllable, realistic sandbox to test and iterate without risk.


๐Ÿงญ Pipeline, Packaging, and NuGet Publication Blueprinting

This section defines how the backend API library blueprint includes automated DevOps pipeline scaffolding, packaging conventions, and NuGet publication setup. These make the library consumable across microservices, platforms, and other agents with minimal manual steps.

  "version": "1.3.0-beta+build123",
  "originatingAgent": "LibraryScaffolderAgent",
  "timestamp": "2025-06-07T18:32Z"
}

๐Ÿงช Publish Validation

Blueprint includes test pipeline that:

  • Asserts nupkg structure
  • Validates README is present
  • Ensures dependency versions match factory policies

โœ… Summary

The blueprint doesnโ€™t just generate code โ€” it generates a DevOps-ready, publishable library complete with pipeline, semantic versioning, and NuGet configuration. This makes integration, reuse, and CI/CD automation effortless for both agents and human developers.


๐Ÿงญ Cross-Agent Consumption and Agent-to-Agent Contracts

This section explains how the generated backend API library can be safely and programmatically consumed by other agents within the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory โ€” enabling agent-to-agent contracts, intelligent orchestration, and multi-agent workflows using shared, versioned SDKs.


๐Ÿค– Why Agent-to-Agent Contracts Matter

Benefit Description
โœ… Consistency All agents use the same SDK interfaces and models
โœ… Decoupling Interface hides low-level HTTP complexity
๐Ÿง  Reasoning Agents reason over clear method signatures
๐Ÿ” Reusability Reuse library across design-time and runtime agents
๐Ÿ”’ Trust Versioned contract prevents breaking changes

๐Ÿง  Agent Usage Examples

Consumer Agent Purpose
TestOrchestratorAgent Calls generated mock server using IStripeClient
RuntimeSimAgent Executes sample flow to validate expected results
MCP Integration Agent Binds external skill to generated library methods
ValidationAgent Verifies library behavior against blueprint DSL
CodeReviewerAgent Analyzes interface for DDD and traceability standards

๐Ÿงฉ Agent DSL Output Example

useLibrary: ConnectSoft.StripeClient
methods:
  - name: CreateInvoiceAsync
    input: CreateInvoiceRequest
    output: InvoiceResponse
    requiredHeaders: [ Authorization ]
    retryable: true
    observable: true

This DSL is generated alongside the blueprint and used as input to agentic chains.


โš™๏ธ AI Usage (in SK Plugins)

When exposed to Semantic Kernel agents:

[KernelFunction]
public async Task<InvoiceResponse> CreateStripeInvoiceAsync(string customerId)
{
    return await _stripeClient.CreateInvoiceAsync(new CreateInvoiceRequest
    {
        CustomerId = customerId,
        AutoAdvance = true
    });
}

โœ… The generated interface becomes a plug-and-play skill in the kernel function system, enabling hybrid agent + OpenAI workflows.


๐Ÿงฑ Contract Metadata (.factory/agent.contract.json)

{
  "interface": "IStripeClient",
  "methods": [
    {
      "name": "CreateInvoiceAsync",
      "inputs": ["customerId", "amount"],
      "output": "InvoiceResponse",
      "auth": "apiKey"
    }
  ],
  "origin": "agent-blueprint-run-02458"
}

Agents fetch this metadata to dynamically inspect capabilities and emit calls.


๐Ÿงช Contract-Driven Validation

Contract metadata is used for:

  • Auto-prompt generation
  • Request replay testing
  • Failure path simulation
  • Version mismatch detection (if consumer requires a method not found in current version)

๐Ÿค Example Multi-Agent Chain

    RuntimeAgent ->> NuGet: Install ConnectSoft.StripeClient
    RuntimeAgent ->> StripeClient: CreateInvoiceAsync()
Hold "Alt" / "Option" to enable pan & zoom

๐Ÿ“ฆ One library, many consumers: orchestrators, validators, SK agents, DevOps agents, and runtime clusters.


โœ… Summary

The backend API library blueprint produces artifacts that are not just code โ€” they are agent-readable, memory-indexed, skill-convertible contracts. This enables deep reuse across the entire agentic lifecycle and reinforces composability, observability, and automation at platform scale.


๐Ÿงญ Memory, Metadata, and Traceability in Blueprint Artifacts

This section explores how every generated backend API library embeds traceable metadata and integrates into the platform's memory system โ€” enabling full observability, lookup, and auditability for every artifact produced by the AI Software Factory.


๐Ÿง  Why Memory & Metadata Matter

Capability Purpose
๐Ÿงญ Traceability Understand what agent produced what artifact, from which prompt
๐Ÿ” Replayability Rebuild any artifact from blueprint and memory
๐Ÿง  Context Awareness Other agents can search for and reason over prior blueprints
๐Ÿงช Provenance Verify trust chain of generated code
๐Ÿ“ฆ Reuse Compose new solutions using prior libraries as base packages

๐Ÿ“‚ Metadata Files Injected into Output

File Purpose
.factory/blueprint.meta.json Blueprint ID, version, inputs, producers
.factory/agent.contract.json Machine-readable method + parameter contract
.factory/memory.tags.yaml Vector DB tags (domain, purpose, API group)
README.md (with prompt header) Human-readable trace of what was generated and why

๐Ÿงฌ Sample blueprint.meta.json

{
  "blueprintId": "backend.api.library",
  "name": "ConnectSoft.StripeClient",
  "producedByAgent": "LibraryScaffolderAgent",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "timestamp": "2025-06-07T22:00:15Z",

  ],
  "linkedBlueprints": [
    "observability.default",
    "configuration.standard"
  ],
  "memoryIndex": "agentic-blueprints/backend.api.library/stripeclient"
}

๐Ÿ”– Memory Tagging (Vector Indexing)

The blueprint includes a memory.tags.yaml file:

tags:
  domain: "Billing"
  system: "Stripe"
  type: "backend.api.library"
  methodProfiles:
    - create_invoice
    - get_customer
  observability: true
  retryable: true

This is embedded into the memory ingestion pipeline, enabling:

  • Searchable lookup from any agent
  • Memory recall in downstream factories
  • Cross-blueprint reasoning (e.g., infer capabilities)

๐Ÿง  Embedding Strategy

  • Interface signatures, model class names, method names โ†’ embedded into vector DB
  • Token metadata (e.g., HTTP verbs, paths, common errors) โ†’ embedded for contract memory
  • Blueprint DSL fragments โ†’ embedded to power reuse and validation prompts

Stored in vector collections:

  • blueprints/backend.api.library
  • clients/http.methods
  • skills/generated-by-agent

๐Ÿ” Traceability Hooks

Agents can answer:

  • "Which agent generated this client?"
  • "When was this client last updated?"
  • "What API spec was this client based on?"
  • "Does a library for service X already exist?"

๐Ÿง  Used by Other Agents

Agent Use
KnowledgeAgent Lookup previously generated libraries
ReuseOrchestratorAgent Reuses existing blueprints via vector similarity
RegenerationAgent Rebuilds broken artifacts from prompt + metadata
AuditAgent Validates contract compliance across versions

โœ… Summary

This blueprint doesnโ€™t just generate clients โ€” it emits memory-aware, self-describing artifacts. With structured metadata, memory tagging, and embedding support, every library becomes a first-class citizen in the AI Software Factoryโ€™s collective intelligence.


๐Ÿงญ Error Handling, Fallbacks, and Developer Feedback Features

This section describes how the backend API library blueprint integrates structured error handling, optional fallback strategies, and tooling for developers and agents to analyze, log, and respond to failures in predictable and traceable ways.


๐Ÿ’ฅ Error Types Handled

Type Examples Handling Strategy
HTTP Errors 4xx, 5xx, 429 Standardized exception + retry logic
Transport Failures DNS, Timeout, ConnectionRefused Retry + circuit breaker
Deserialization Errors Invalid/missing fields Safe fallback or developer trace
Auth Failures 401, 403 Token refresh or prompt user
Rate Limits 429 + Retry-After Observes backoff policy

๐Ÿงฑ Unified Error Model

Generated libraries use a common exception hierarchy:

public class ApiException : Exception
{
    public HttpStatusCode StatusCode { get; }
    public string? ResponseBody { get; }
    public string? Endpoint { get; }

    public ApiException(string message, HttpStatusCode statusCode, string? responseBody = null)
        : base(message) { ... }
}

public class AuthException : ApiException { ... }
public class DeserializationException : ApiException { ... }
public class RetryExhaustedException : ApiException { ... }

๐Ÿงช Developer-Visible Feedback

All failures are logged with:

  • Request URL, headers (sanitized)
  • Status code and error body
  • Retry attempts
  • TraceId / CorrelationId

Example log:

{
  "level": "Error",
  "message": "Failed to fetch invoice inv_123",
  "statusCode": 503,
  "retries": 3,
  "endpoint": "/invoices/inv_123",
  "traceId": "e293..."
}

๐Ÿ”„ Optional Fallback Strategies

Defined in DSL or injected later:

fallbacks:
  GetInvoiceAsync:
    mode: static
    response: "Fixtures/GetInvoiceFallback.json"

OR in generated code (future support):

[FallbackResponse(typeof(InvoiceResponse), Source = "json", Path = "fallbacks/invoice.json")]
Task<InvoiceResponse> GetInvoiceAsync(string invoiceId);

๐Ÿง  Agent-Driven Error Handling

Agent Role
TestAgent Validates retry, timeout, error boundaries
ObservabilityAgent Emits spans with failure markers
RuntimeSimAgent Verifies fallback pathways
DocsAgent Generates "how to handle this error" sections

๐Ÿ“˜ Error Documentation Blueprint

Part of the README and .factory/errors.json:

{
  "operation": "CreateInvoiceAsync",
  "errors": [
    { "code": 401, "meaning": "Invalid API Key", "suggestion": "Check StripeOptions.ApiKey" },
    { "code": 429, "meaning": "Rate Limit", "suggestion": "Back off and retry after delay" }
  ]
}

๐Ÿ” Integration with Observability

Each error emits:

  • ๐Ÿชต ILogger.LogError with detailed context
  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ Metrics like client_error_count{code=503}
  • ๐Ÿ“ก Tracing span with status code and failure tag

This makes failure rates and retry loops fully observable.


โœ… Summary

Robust, structured error handling is a core pillar of the backend API blueprint. From retry-aware exceptions to agent-visible logs and fallback JSON, every failure becomes an opportunity for recovery, traceability, and continuous improvement across automated and manual consumers.


๐Ÿงญ Versioning, Deprecation, and Backward Compatibility Strategies

This section outlines how the backend API library blueprint implements semantic versioning, deprecation signaling, and backward compatibility enforcement across generated artifacts โ€” ensuring stability, safe upgrades, and contract integrity across consuming services and agents.


๐Ÿงฎ Versioning Model

Component Rule
๐Ÿ“ฆ NuGet Package Uses SemVer 2.0.0
๐Ÿง  Blueprint Version Embedded in metadata (blueprint.meta.json)
๐Ÿงพ Contract Hash Used for backward compatibility checks
๐Ÿ“ Source Tag Git tag/version injected into project README and changelog

Example:

{
  "packageVersion": "1.3.2",
  "blueprintVersion": "v2",
  "apiContractHash": "cfb294e3...",
  "generatedBy": "agent-blueprint-run-05923"
}

๐Ÿงช Change Detection Heuristics

Agents or the pipeline detect:

Change Impact
New method added Minor bump
Existing method removed Major bump
Input/output changed Major bump
Retry policy tweaked Patch
Logging format changed Patch (internal)

Detected via:

  • Interface diffs (AST or Roslyn analysis)
  • OpenAPI diff (when spec-based)
  • Contract hash comparison

โš ๏ธ Deprecation Mechanism

Deprecation is encoded in both metadata and source code:

[Obsolete("Use CreateInvoiceV2Async instead.")]
public Task<InvoiceResponse> CreateInvoiceAsync(...) { ... }

And reflected in:

{
  "operation": "CreateInvoiceAsync",
  "status": "deprecated",
  "replacement": "CreateInvoiceV2Async"
}

๐Ÿง  Agents see this and auto-adjust their flows.


๐Ÿ“œ Changelog Generation

Agents generate a changelog:

## v1.4.0

- Added: `SendNotificationAsync` method
- Changed: `RetryPolicy` now exponential backoff by default
- Deprecated: `SendEmailAsync` (use `SendNotificationAsync`)

Stored in CHANGELOG.md and .factory/changelog.md.


๐Ÿง  Consumers React to Versions

Agent Behavior
CodeReviewerAgent Flags major change without test coverage
UpdateAssistantAgent Suggests upgrade path for affected consumers
RuntimeValidatorAgent Warns if deprecated method is still used
BuildPinnerAgent Locks to safe version range (e.g., <2.0.0)

๐Ÿ” Support for Multiple Versions

The factory allows:

  • Side-by-side packaging (MyClient.V1, MyClient.V2)
  • Adapter classes or shims
  • Graceful opt-in to new interface with compatibility toggle

๐Ÿงช Version Tests (Optional)

Generated tests ensure older methods are still callable (if supported):

[TestMethod]
public void DeprecatedMethod_StillCompilesAndRuns()
{
    var client = new StripeClient(...);
    var invoice = client.CreateInvoiceAsync("cus_123").Result;
    Assert.IsNotNull(invoice);
}

โœ… Summary

Versioning in the backend API library blueprint is not just syntactic โ€” itโ€™s semantic, agent-visible, and upgrade-aware. With embedded changelogs, deprecation notices, and behavioral diffing, this blueprint ensures stable evolution and safe reuse across generations of software and automation agents.


๐Ÿงญ Runtime Extension Points and Composition Hooks

This section explains how the backend API library blueprint enables safe extensibility and runtime customization through generated extension points, partial methods, composition hooks, and plugin-ready structures โ€” all while preserving stability, testability, and compatibility.


๐Ÿงฉ Why Extension Points Matter

Need Solution
๐Ÿ” Add custom headers or transformations Request/response interceptors
๐Ÿง  Inject observability hooks Span decorators
๐Ÿงช Override retry/fallback logic Pluggable policies
๐Ÿ”„ Replace endpoint behavior Partial method stubs
๐Ÿ“ฆ Plug in external libraries DI composition modules

๐Ÿงฑ Composition Hook Locations

Hook Purpose
HttpRequestMessageBuilder Modify request before send
IResponseParser Customize deserialization and validation
AuthHandler Token injection, renewal
ILoggerDecorator Extend observability span
ErrorClassifier Wrap specific HTTP responses into typed exceptions

These hooks are injected via DI or method override stubs.


๐Ÿง  Example: Request Customizer Hook

public interface IRequestCustomizer
{
    void Customize(HttpRequestMessage request);
}

Injected into the client:

requestCustomizer?.Customize(request);

Allows agent or developer to:

  • Add tenant ID
  • Inject trace headers
  • Modify URL dynamically

๐Ÿงฉ Partial Method for Override

public partial class StripeClient
{
    partial void OnBeforeSend(HttpRequestMessage request);
    partial void OnAfterReceive(HttpResponseMessage response);
}

These methods are no-ops unless implemented. Safe for extension in shared libraries.


๐Ÿ“ฆ Generated Extension Points in DI

services.AddTransient<IRequestCustomizer, CustomHeaderInjector>();
services.AddScoped<IResponseParser, CustomParser>();

Or configured via factory:

.AddHttpClient<IStripeClient, StripeClient>((sp, client) => {
    var auth = sp.GetRequiredService<IAccessTokenProvider>();
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new(...);
});

๐Ÿ” Agent-Powered Composition

Agents can:

  • Extend generated classes using partial files
  • Register new behaviors via metadata DSL:
extensions:
  requestHeaderInjector:
    enabled: true
    header: "X-Tenant-ID"
    source: "ContextResolverService"
  • Inject handlers during orchestration or test setup
  • Publish customized libraries as variants

๐Ÿค Inter-Agent Hooks

Some extensions are targeted at other agent types, e.g.:

  • Observability spans injected by ObservabilityAgent
  • Tracing headers managed by RequestTracerAgent
  • Error classifiers aligned with ContractValidatorAgent

This enables safe chaining across platform clusters.


โš™๏ธ Extension Strategy: Open/Closed Principle

  • Open: via interfaces, delegates, DI hooks
  • Closed: core retry/auth policies guarded by factory
  • Overrides must be opt-in via DSL or agent contract extension

โœ… Summary

Every backend API client generated from this blueprint includes safe and composable runtime hooks. Developers and agents can extend behavior without modifying core logic, ensuring platform integrity while enabling rich cross-agent composition and specialization.


๐Ÿงญ Blueprint-Driven Documentation and Developer Portal Integration

## ๐Ÿงญ Blueprint-Driven Compliance, Auditability, and Policy Alignment

This final section covers how the backend API library blueprint enforces **compliance with organizational policies**, emits **audit metadata**, and aligns with **security, observability, and quality requirements** across all generated libraries โ€” ensuring trust, accountability, and governance at scale.

---

### ๐Ÿ” Compliance Domains Addressed

| Domain            | Compliance Strategy                                     |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| ๐Ÿ” Security       | Token usage, sensitive field masking, TLS-only clients  |
| ๐Ÿ“Š Observability  | Span creation, error telemetry, retry logging           |
| ๐Ÿ” Retry Policies | Blueprint-based backoff settings, retry limits          |
| ๐Ÿ“ฆ Packaging      | Naming conventions, license headers, artifact structure |
| โš–๏ธ Licensing      | Default MIT/ConnectSoft license headers with validation |
| ๐Ÿ“œ Documentation  | Required sections and changelog generation              |
| ๐Ÿ‘ค Data Privacy   | Field-level PII masking and logging policies            |

---

### ๐Ÿ“œ Policy Rules Enforced by Blueprint

| Rule                                                          | Enforced By     |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- |
| All HTTP clients must use `ILogger` and structured logs       | Template        |
| Retryable methods must expose `RetryPolicyOptions`            | DSL constraint  |
| Public-facing packages must contain `README.md` and `LICENSE` | Linter          |
| `ApiKey` must be sourced from `IOptions` or `KeyVault` only   | Generator guard |
| DTO fields with PII tags are auto-masked in logs              | Serializer shim |
| All exceptions must extend `ApiException`                     | Validator agent |

---

### ๐Ÿ“ Audit Files and Metadata

| File                          | Purpose                                        |
| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `.factory/audit.json`         | Agent trail, session IDs, prompt hashes        |
| `README.md` header            | Includes creation origin and blueprint version |
| `changelog.md`                | Shows code changes across blueprint runs       |
| `.factory/policy.report.json` | Which policies were enforced or bypassed       |

Example `.factory/audit.json`:

```json
{
  "generatedBy": "LibraryScaffolderAgent",
  "sessionId": "run-2321312",
  "promptFingerprint": "8a9cb0f8...",
  "blueprintVersion": "v2.3",
  "policyCompliance": ["auth.tokens.secured", "observability.traces.emitted"],
  "timestamp": "2025-06-07T23:45:02Z"
}

๐Ÿง  Agent Alignment

Agent Use
PolicyValidatorAgent Validates blueprint output against factory rules
SecurityScannerAgent Reviews token handling and URL injection safety
AuditTrailAgent Records generator identity and session for each artifact
DocumentationAgent Injects policy reference into public docs
ContractValidatorAgent Asserts backward compatibility against contract hash

๐Ÿ” Blueprint Policy Profiles

The blueprint can inject policy levels:

compliance:
  profile: strict
  rules:
    - auth.tokens.required
    - observability.enabled
    - retry.policy.defined
    - changelog.required

These policies become binding for the agent execution context.


๐Ÿ” Security Hooks

  • HTTP clients require TLS or fail-fast
  • Authorization header redacted from all logs
  • Request tracing headers (e.g. X-Correlation-ID) injected by default
  • Access tokens must be non-null or throw

๐Ÿ“˜ Audit Chain Traceability
