This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Commands for Development
### Build and Test Commands
```bash
# Build the binary
go build -o kvs .
# Run with default config (auto-generates config.yaml)
./kvs
# Run with custom config
./kvs /path/to/config.yaml
# Run comprehensive integration tests
./integration_test.sh
# Create test conflict data for debugging
go run test_conflict.go data1 data2
# Build and test in one go
go build -o kvs . && ./integration_test.sh
```
### Development Workflow
```bash
# Format and check code
go fmt ./...
go vet ./...
# Run dependencies management
go mod tidy
# Check build without artifacts
go build .
# Test specific cluster scenarios
./kvs node1.yaml & # Terminal 1
./kvs node2.yaml & # Terminal 2
curl -X PUT http://localhost:8081/kv/test/data -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"test":"data"}'
curl http://localhost:8082/kv/test/data # Should replicate within ~30 seconds
pkill kvs
```
## Architecture Overview
### High-Level Structure
KVS is a **distributed, eventually consistent key-value store** built around three core systems:
1. **Gossip Protocol** (`cluster/gossip.go`) - Decentralized membership management and failure detection
2. **Merkle Tree Sync** (`cluster/sync.go`, `cluster/merkle.go`) - Efficient data synchronization and conflict resolution
3. **Modular Server** (`server/`) - HTTP API with pluggable feature modules
### Key Architectural Patterns
#### Modular Package Design
- **`auth/`** - Complete JWT authentication system with POSIX-inspired permissions
- **`cluster/`** - Distributed systems logic (gossip, sync, merkle trees)
- **`storage/`** - BadgerDB abstraction with compression and revision history
- **`server/`** - HTTP handlers, routing, and lifecycle management
- **`features/`** - Utility functions for TTL, rate limiting, tamper logging, backup
- **`types/`** - Centralized type definitions for all components
- **`config/`** - Configuration loading with auto-generation
- **`utils/`** - Cryptographic hashing utilities
#### Core Data Model
```go
// Primary storage format
type StoredValue struct {
UUID string `json:"uuid"` // Unique version identifier
Timestamp int64 `json:"timestamp"` // Unix timestamp (milliseconds)
Data json.RawMessage `json:"data"` // Actual user JSON payload
}
```
#### Critical System Interactions
**Conflict Resolution Flow:**
1. Merkle trees detect divergent data between nodes (`cluster/merkle.go`)
2. Sync service fetches conflicting keys (`cluster/sync.go:fetchAndCompareData`)
3. Sophisticated conflict resolution logic in `resolveConflict()`:
- Same timestamp → Apply "oldest-node rule" (earliest `joined_timestamp` wins)
- Tie-breaker → UUID comparison for deterministic results
- Winner's data automatically replicated to losing nodes
**Authentication & Authorization:**
- JWT tokens with scoped permissions (`auth/jwt.go`)
- POSIX-inspired 12-bit permission system (`types/types.go:52-75`)
- Resource ownership metadata with TTL support (`types/ResourceMetadata`)
**Storage Strategy:**
- **Main keys**: Direct path mapping (`users/john/profile`)
- **Index keys**: `_ts:{timestamp}:{path}` for time-based queries
- **Compression**: Optional ZSTD compression (`storage/compression.go`)
- **Revisions**: Optional revision history (`storage/revision.go`)
### Configuration Architecture
The system uses feature toggles extensively (`types/Config:271-276`):
```yaml
auth_enabled: true # JWT authentication system
tamper_logging_enabled: true # Cryptographic audit trail
clustering_enabled: true # Gossip protocol and sync
rate_limiting_enabled: true # Per-client rate limiting
revision_history_enabled: true # Automatic versioning
```
### Testing Strategy
#### Integration Test Suite (`integration_test.sh`)
- **Build verification** - Ensures binary compiles correctly
- **Basic functionality** - Single-node CRUD operations
- **Cluster formation** - 2-node gossip protocol and data replication
- **Conflict resolution** - Automated conflict detection and resolution using `test_conflict.go`
The test suite uses sophisticated retry logic and timing to handle the eventually consistent nature of the system.
#### Conflict Testing Utility (`test_conflict.go`)
Creates two BadgerDB instances with intentionally conflicting data (same path, same timestamp, different UUIDs) to test the conflict resolution algorithm.
### Development Notes
#### Key Constraints
- **Eventually Consistent**: All operations succeed locally first, then replicate
- **Local-First Truth**: Nodes operate independently and sync in background
- **No Transactions**: Each key operation is atomic and independent
- **Hierarchical Keys**: Support for path-like structures (`/home/room/closet/socks`)
#### Critical Timing Considerations
- **Gossip intervals**: 1-2 minutes for membership updates
- **Sync intervals**: 5 minutes for regular data sync, 2 minutes for catch-up
- **Conflict resolution**: Typically resolves within 10-30 seconds after detection
- **Bootstrap sync**: Up to 30 days of historical data for new nodes
#### Main Entry Point Flow
1. `main.go` loads config (auto-generates default if missing)
2. `server.NewServer()` initializes all subsystems
3. Graceful shutdown handling with `SIGINT`/`SIGTERM`
4. All business logic delegated to modular packages
This architecture enables easy feature addition, comprehensive testing, and reliable operation in distributed environments while maintaining simplicity for single-node deployments.

External Clients (JWT Auth)
```
Each node is fully autonomous and communicates with peers via HTTP REST API for both external client requests and internal cluster operations.
### Modular Design
KVS features a clean modular architecture with dedicated packages:
- **`auth/`** - JWT authentication and POSIX-inspired permissions
- **`cluster/`** - Gossip protocol, Merkle tree sync, and conflict resolution
- **`storage/`** - BadgerDB abstraction with compression and revisions
- **`server/`** - HTTP API, routing, and lifecycle management
- **`features/`** - TTL, rate limiting, tamper logging, backup utilities
- **`config/`** - Configuration management with auto-generation

- Failed nodes are detected via timeout (5 minutes) and removed (10 minutes)
- New members are automatically discovered and added to local member lists
### Data Synchronization
- **Regular Sync**: Every 5 minutes, nodes compare their latest 15 data items with a random peer
### Merkle Tree Synchronization
- **Merkle Trees**: Each node builds cryptographic trees of their data for efficient comparison
- **Regular Sync**: Every 5 minutes, nodes compare Merkle roots and sync divergent branches
- **Catch-up Sync**: Every 2 minutes when nodes detect they're significantly behind
- **Bootstrap Sync**: New nodes gradually fetch historical data up to 30 days old
- **Efficient Detection**: Only synchronizes actual differences, not entire datasets
### Conflict Resolution
### Sophisticated Conflict Resolution
When two nodes have different data for the same key with identical timestamps:
1. **Majority Vote**: Query all healthy cluster members for their version
2. **Tie-Breaker**: If votes are tied, the version from the oldest node (earliest `joined_timestamp`) wins
3. **Automatic Resolution**: Losing nodes automatically fetch and store the winning version
1. **Detection**: Merkle tree comparison identifies conflicting keys
2. **Oldest-Node Rule**: The version from the node with earliest `joined_timestamp` wins
3. **UUID Tie-Breaker**: If join times are identical, lexicographically smaller UUID wins
4. **Automatic Resolution**: Losing nodes automatically fetch and store the winning version
5. **Consistency**: All nodes converge to the same data within seconds
### Authentication & Authorization
- **JWT Tokens**: Secure API access with scoped permissions
- **POSIX-Inspired ACLs**: 12-bit permission system (owner/group/others with create/delete/write/read)
- **Resource Metadata**: Each stored item has ownership and permission information
- **Feature Toggle**: Can be completely disabled for simpler deployments
### Operational Modes
