Thank you for your interest in contributing! This guide covers everything you need to get started.

---

## Development Setup

### Prerequisites

- **Node.js** >= 18 < 24 (recommended: 22 LTS)
- **npm** 10+
- **Git**

### Clone & Install

```bash
git clone https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute.git
cd OmniRoute
npm install
```

### Environment Variables

```bash
# Create your .env from the template
cp .env.example .env

# Generate required secrets
echo "JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 48)" >> .env
echo "API_KEY_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32)" >> .env
```

Key variables for development:

| Variable               | Development Default      | Description           |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------ | --------------------- |
| `PORT`                 | `20128`                  | Server port           |
| `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` | `http://localhost:20128` | Base URL for frontend |
| `JWT_SECRET`           | (generate above)         | JWT signing secret    |
| `INITIAL_PASSWORD`     | `CHANGEME`               | First login password  |
| `APP_LOG_LEVEL`        | `info`                   | Log verbosity level   |

### Dashboard Settings

The dashboard provides UI toggles for features that can also be configured via environment variables:

| Setting Location    | Toggle             | Description                    |
| ------------------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------ |
| Settings → Advanced | Debug Mode         | Enable debug request logs (UI) |
| Settings → General  | Sidebar Visibility | Show/hide sidebar sections     |

These settings are stored in the database and persist across restarts, overriding env var defaults when set.

### Running Locally

```bash
# Development mode (hot reload)
npm run dev

# Production build
npm run build
npm run start

# Common port configuration
PORT=20128 NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:20128 npm run dev
```

Default URLs:

- **Dashboard**: `http://localhost:20128/dashboard`
- **API**: `http://localhost:20128/v1`

---

## Git Workflow

> ⚠️ **NEVER commit directly to `main`.** Always use feature branches.

```bash
git checkout -b feat/your-feature-name
# ... make changes ...
git commit -m "feat: describe your change"
git push -u origin feat/your-feature-name
# Open a Pull Request on GitHub
```

### Branch Naming

| Prefix      | Purpose                   |
| ----------- | ------------------------- |
| `feat/`     | New features              |
| `fix/`      | Bug fixes                 |
| `refactor/` | Code restructuring        |
| `docs/`     | Documentation changes     |
| `test/`     | Test additions/fixes      |
| `chore/`    | Tooling, CI, dependencies |

### Commit Messages

Follow [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/):

```
feat: add circuit breaker for provider calls
fix: resolve JWT secret validation edge case
docs: update SECURITY.md with PII protection
test: add observability unit tests

## Running Tests

```bash
# All tests (unit + vitest + ecosystem + e2e)
npm run test:all

# Single test file (Node.js native test runner — most tests use this)
node --import tsx/esm --test tests/unit/your-file.test.ts

# Vitest (MCP server, autoCombo, cache)
npm run test:vitest

# E2E tests (requires Playwright)
npm run test:e2e

# Protocol clients E2E (MCP transports, A2A)
npm run test:protocols:e2e

# Ecosystem compatibility tests
npm run test:ecosystem

# Coverage (60% min statements/lines/functions/branches)
npm run test:coverage
npm run coverage:report

# Lint + format check
npm run lint
npm run check
```

Coverage notes:

- `npm run test:coverage` measures source coverage for the main unit test suite, excludes `tests/**`, and includes `open-sse/**`
- Pull requests must keep the overall coverage gate at **60% or higher** for statements, lines, functions, and branches
- If a PR changes production code in `src/`, `open-sse/`, `electron/`, or `bin/`, it must add or update automated tests in the same PR
- `npm run coverage:report` prints the detailed file-by-file report from the latest coverage run
- `npm run test:coverage:legacy` preserves the older metric for historical comparison
- See `docs/ops/COVERAGE_PLAN.md` for the phased coverage improvement roadmap

### Pull Request Requirements

Before opening or merging a PR:

- Run `npm run test:unit`
- Run `npm run test:coverage`
- Ensure the coverage gate stays at **60%+** for all metrics
- Include the changed or added test files in the PR description when production code changed
- Check the SonarQube result on the PR when the project secrets are configured in CI

Current test status: **122 unit test files** covering:

- Provider translators and format conversion
- Rate limiting, circuit breaker, and resilience
- Semantic cache, idempotency, progress tracking
- Database operations and schema (21 DB modules)
- OAuth flows and authentication
- API endpoint validation (Zod v4)
- MCP server tools and scope enforcement
- Memory and Skills systems

---

## Code Style

- **ESLint** — Run `npm run lint` before committing
- **Prettier** — Auto-formatted via `lint-staged` on commit (2 spaces, semicolons, double quotes, 100 char width, es5 trailing commas)
- **TypeScript** — All `src/` code uses `.ts`/`.tsx`; `open-sse/` uses `.ts`/`.js`; document with TSDoc (`@param`, `@returns`, `@throws`)
- **No `eval()`** — ESLint enforces `no-eval`, `no-implied-eval`, `no-new-func`
- **Zod validation** — Use Zod v4 schemas for all API input validation
- **Naming**: Files = camelCase/kebab-case, components = PascalCase, constants = UPPER_SNAKE

## Adding a New Provider

### Step 1: Register Provider Constants

Add to `src/shared/constants/providers.ts` — Zod-validated at module load.

### Step 2: Add Executor (if custom logic needed)

Create executor in `open-sse/executors/your-provider.ts` extending the base executor.

### Step 3: Add Translator (if non-OpenAI format)

Create request/response translators in `open-sse/translator/`.

### Step 4: Add OAuth Config (if OAuth-based)

Add OAuth credentials in `src/lib/oauth/constants/oauth.ts` and service in `src/lib/oauth/services/`.

### Step 5: Register Models

Add model definitions in `open-sse/config/providerRegistry.ts`.

### Step 6: Add Tests

Write unit tests in `tests/unit/` covering at minimum:

- Provider registration
- Request/response translation
- Error handling
