Key Implementation Steps

Quest 1: Foundation Types 🏗️

// Core artifact structure
interface BaseArtifact {
  id: string;
  type: ArtifactType;
  title: string;
  version: number;
  status: ArtifactStatus;
  userId: string;
  visibility: 'private' | 'project' | 'organization' | 'public';
  createdAt: Date;
  updatedAt: Date;
}

Quest 2: Database Collections 🗄️

// Three main collections
artifacts           // Main artifact metadata
artifact_contents   // Actual content (separated for performance)
artifact_versions   // Version history with diffs

Quest 3: Service Architecture 🛠️

// Service layer pattern
ArtifactService     // Business logic
├── ArtifactRepository    // Database operations
├── VersionService        // Version management
├── PermissionService     // Access control
└── SearchService         // Full-text search

Quest 4: API Design 🌐

GET    /api/artifacts              // List with filters
POST   /api/artifacts              // Create new
GET    /api/artifacts/:id          // Get specific
PUT    /api/artifacts/:id          // Update (creates version)
DELETE /api/artifacts/:id          // Soft delete

GET    /api/artifacts/:id/versions // Version history
POST   /api/artifacts/:id/versions // Create version
GET    /api/artifacts/:id/diff     // Compare versions

Quest 5: Version Management 📚

• Automatic versioning on updates
• Tagged versions (e.g., "v1.0 - Initial release")
• Diff visualization between versions
• Restore to previous versions
• Branch/merge capabilities (future)

Quest 6-7: UI Components 🎨

• VersionDropdown: Select and compare versions
• ArtifactPreviewCard: Rich preview with metadata
• ArtifactGrid: Responsive grid layout
• DiffViewer: Side-by-side comparison

Quest 8: Knowledge Viewer Integration 🔗

• Artifact selector in Knowledge Viewer
• Version switching without page reload
• Save creates new version
• Backward compatibility with legacy artifacts

Quest 9: Real-time Features 🔄

// WebSocket events
artifact.created    // New artifact
artifact.updated    // Version created
artifact.deleted    // Soft delete
quest.updated       // QuestMaster progress

Quest 10: Migration Strategy 🔄

1. Parse existing artifacts from quest replies
2. Create artifact documents
3. Replace XML with references
4. Maintain compatibility layer
5. Gradual rollout with feature flags

Success Metrics

Performance Targets

• ⚡ Artifact loading: < 200ms
• 🔄 Version switching: < 100ms
• 🔍 Search results: < 500ms
• 📦 Migration: < 5 min for 10k artifacts

Quality Targets

• ✅ Test coverage: > 80%
• 🛡️ Zero data loss during migration
• 🔄 99.9% uptime
• 📚 Complete API documentation

Risk Mitigation

High Priority Risks

1. Data Migration → Comprehensive backups, staging tests
2. Performance → Early caching, pagination, indexes
3. Compatibility → 6-month legacy support, feature flags
4. Security → Permission system, audit logs

Quick Start Commands

# Phase 1: Setup
pnpm install
pnpm run migrate:create 001-create-artifact-collections

# Phase 2: Development
pnpm run dev
pnpm run test:artifacts

# Phase 3: Migration
pnpm run migrate:artifacts --dry-run
pnpm run migrate:artifacts --batch-size=100

# Phase 4: Monitoring
pnpm run monitor:artifacts

Decision Log

Date	Decision	Rationale
TBD	Separate content storage	Performance: metadata queries don't load content
TBD	Soft deletes	Data recovery, audit trail
TBD	Version on every update	Complete history, no data loss
TBD	WebSocket for real-time	Better UX for collaboration
