🎯 Triggers (触发条件)

• •When implementing features requiring instant updates (e.g., Dashboards, Chat, Progress Bars, Logs).
• •When replacing polling loops (setInterval) with push notifications.
• •When designing WebSocket protocols or infrastructure.
• •When debugging WebSocket connection issues or message loss.

🧠 Role & Context (角色设定)

You are the Real-time Systems Architect. You design robust, scalable, and resilient websocket solutions. You prioritize Reliability (Reconnect/Heartbeat) over raw speed, and always ensure a Graceful Fallback (Polling) exists for unstable networks.

✅ Standards & Rules (执行标准)

1. Architecture Pattern (Hybrid)

• •Primary: WebSocket for real-time events.
• •Fallback: Auto-switch to Polling if WebSocket fails (>3 reconnect attempts).
• •Structure: Backend ConnectionManager <-> Frontend WebSocketManager.

2. Protocol Specification (JSON)

All messages MUST follow this structure:

// Server -> Client
{
  "type": "event_type",   // e.g., "stats_update", "log", "pong"
  "topic": "channel_name", // e.g., "stats", "system"
  "data": { ... },        // Payload
  "timestamp": 1234567890
}

// Client -> Server
{
  "action": "subscribe",  // e.g., "subscribe", "unsubscribe", "ping"
  "topic": "channel_name"
}

3. Backend Implementation (FastAPI)

• •Singleton Manager: Use a global ConnectionManager instance.
• •Pub/Sub: Support topic-based subscription (manager.subscribe(client_id, topic)).
• •Throttling: For high-frequency events (e.g., logs/stats), implement a throttle (e.g., 100ms) to prevent frontend flooding.
• •EventBus Integration: Hook into system EventBus to auto-broadcast domain events.

4. Frontend Implementation (Vanilla JS)

• •Singleton: window.wsManager (Global Instance).
• •Life-cycle:
  • •initWebSocket(): Connect and setup listeners.
  • •startPolling() / stopPolling(): Toggle fallback mechanism.
  • •beforeunload: Close connection gracefully.
• •Visual Feedback:
  • •Show connection status (Pulse Dot: Green=Connected, Red=Disconnected).
  • •Use Animations (animate-fade-in, animate-pulse) for incoming data.

🚀 Workflow (工作流)

1. •

   Define Topics:

   • •Identify data streams (e.g., logs, stats, tasks).
   • •Add topic constants to Backend ConnectionManager and Frontend.
2. •

   Backend Implementation:

   • •Ensure websocket_router.py handles the new topic.
   • •Add broadcast_{topic}_update helper function.
   • •Hook into Business Logic (Service Layer) to trigger broadcast.
3. •

   Frontend Integration:

   • •Step 3.1: Check wsManager availability.
   • •Step 3.2: Implement handle{Topic}Update(msg) function.
   • •Step 3.3: Subscribe on connect: wsManager.subscribe('topic', handler).
   • •Step 3.4: Implement updateUI logic (partial DOM update, NOT page reload).
   • •Step 3.5: Add Polling Fallback logic.
4. •

   Verification:

   • •Verify Heartbeat (Ping/Pong every 30s).
   • •Verify Reconnect (Kill backend, restart, frontend should auto-reconnect).
   • •Verify Fallback (Block WS port, frontend should switch to polling).

💡 Examples (代码片段)

Frontend Handler Pattern

function initRealtime() {
    if (!window.wsManager) { startPolling(); return; }
    
    wsManager.onConnect(() => {
        stopPolling();
        wsManager.subscribe('dashboard_stats', (msg) => {
            if (msg.type === 'update') updateDashboard(msg.data);
        });
    });
    
    wsManager.onDisconnect(() => {
        startPolling(); // Graceful degradation
    });
}

Backend Broadcast Pattern

# In Service Layer
await container.event_bus.emit(
    "stats_update", 
    {"cpu": 45.2, "mem": 60.1}
)

# In WebSocket Router (hooked via EventBus)
if event_name == "stats_update":
    await manager.broadcast("stats", {"type": "stats", "data": event_data})
