Core State SDK Phases** If you are building a new **Core SDK** (e.g., in Rust, Swift, Go, or C++), you must follow this sequence of phases: ### **Phase 1: Context & Schemas Ingestion** Thoroughly review: - `blueprints/modules/a2ui_core.blueprint.md` (for state and message structures). - `specification/v1_0/json/common_types.json` (dynamic binding schemas). - `specification/v1_0/json/server_to_client.json` (message envelopes). - `specification/v1_0/catalogs/basic/catalog.json` (target components catalog). ### **Phase 2: Technical Architecture Planning** Create a detailed, local architectural proposal detailing: - **Dependencies**: Which Schema library and Observable/Reactive library will you use? Note that the reactive library must support both discrete event subscription and stateful, signal-like data streams (e.g., BehaviorSubject/Signal). - **Component APIs**: How will you define the `ComponentApi` interface in this language? - **Binding Strategy**: How will you structure the abstract Core Binder Layer? - _STOP and obtain human reviewer approval on this plan before writing code._ ### **Phase 3: Core Model Layer** Implement the framework-agnostic data and processor layers: 1. **Observables & Signals**: Implement multi-cast reactive streams with clear unsubscribe mechanism to prevent leaks. 2. **Protocol Structures**: Create strictly-typed native classes/structs representing `A2uiMessage` envelopes and client capabilities with serialization/deserialization. 3. **DataModel & JSON Pointers**: Implement relative/absolute path resolution, auto-vivification (auto-typing intermediate segments), and bubble/cascade path change notifications. 4. **Core State Models**: Implement `ComponentModel`, `SurfaceComponentsModel`, `SurfaceModel`, and `SurfaceGroupModel`. 5. **Context Mapping**: Implement `DataContext` and `ComponentContext`. 6. **MessageProcessor**: Ingest incoming messages and mutate the state models. Generate `inlineCatalogs` client capabilities. 7. **Verification**: Write comprehensive unit tests for pointer cascading, JSON deserialization/validation, and message dispatching. ### **Phase 4: Foundational Basic Catalog Support** Bootstrap support for the Basic Catalog: - **Foundational Components**: Define the pure API schemas and Binders for: `Text`, `Row`, `Column`, `Button`, and `TextField`. - **Foundational Functions**: Implement `formatString` to interpret `${expression}` syntaxes, supporting recursive token evaluations and reactive coercion. - **Verification**: Ensure properties update reactively when underlying data paths emit notifications. ### **Phase 5: Complete Basic Catalog Support** - **Full Components & Binders**: Define core binders for all other components in `basic/catalog.json`. - **Full Functions**: Implement remaining basic mathematical, logical, and array operations. - **Validation**: Ensure strict type coercion rules are satisfied and memory disposals work flawlessly. --- ## **2. Framework Adapter SDK Phases** If you are building a new **UI Framework Adapter / Renderer** (e.g., in Flutter/Dart, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, Vue, or Svelte), follow this sequence: ### **Phase 1: Ingestion & Core Integration** Review: - `blueprints/modules/a2ui_framework_adapter.blueprint.md` (View and rendering architecture). - `specification/v1_0/docs/basic_catalog_implementation_guide.md` (spacing, alignment, and typography specifications). ### **Phase 2: Architectural Plan** Draft a plan specifying: - **Component Registry**: How components are dynamically resolved and instantiated. - **Surface Widget**: How the root canvas mounts and recurses through the layout tree starting at `root`. - **Observer/State Bridge**: Which Strategy (Direct, Predefined Binders, or Automated wrappers) will connect core signals to native views. - _STOP and obtain human reviewer approval on this plan._ ### **Phase 3: Adapter & Lifecycle Layer** - Implement `ComponentImplementation` base traits/classes. - Implement the framework-native `Surface` entrypoint widget. - Implement subscription management: lazy-subscribing only on mount, handling path stability updates, and strictly calling `dispose()` on unmount. ### **Phase 4: Bootstrapping Basic Catalog Rendering** - Build native visual elements for: `Text`, `Row`, `Column`, `Button`, and `TextField`. - Bundle these elements into the first framework catalog adapter. - Verify reactive layout properties dynamically. ### **Phase 5: Gallery Application Milestone** Build the **Gallery App** as a testing playground with: - Left Column: Sample navigation. - Center Column: Surface preview, JSON message stream, and step-by-step interactive message stepper. - Right Column: Live data model inspect pane and action logger. - Load the 5 foundational verification examples: `00_simple-text.json`, `00_row-layout.json`, `00_complex-layout.json`, `00_interactive-button.json`, and `00_simple-login-form.json`. - _STOP and obtain human reviewer approval of the UI and visual rendering performance._ ### **Phase 6: Full Catalog Support** - Implement all remaining widgets (e.g. Card, Image, List, etc.) and validation traits like `Checkable`. - Update the Gallery App to support all official examples in `specification/v1_0/catalogs/basic/examples/`. - Run visual parity and event action tests to verify correctness.
