# SomonScript Production Readiness Checklist

**Based on AGENTS.md Principles:** "Production readiness ≠ Feature completeness"

## Current Status: Production Ready ✅

**Version:** 0.3.37  
**Actual Readiness:** 92-95%  
**Language Features:** ✅ Complete  
**Operational Readiness:** ✅ All systems implemented  
**Critical Blockers:** ✅ All resolved  
**Last Updated:** January 2025

## Production Readiness Criteria

A production-ready system must:

- ✅ **Handle failures gracefully** → ✅ Circuit breakers + error aggregation
- ✅ **Provide accurate operational visibility** → ✅ Health endpoints + metrics
- ✅ **Follow consistent architectural patterns** → ✅ Mandatory in production
  mode
- ✅ **Manage resources properly** → ✅ Graceful shutdown + cleanup
- ✅ **Report errors clearly and fail fast** → ✅ Comprehensive error reporting

## 🔴 CRITICAL BLOCKERS - ALL RESOLVED ✅

### 1. Fail-Fast Validation ✅ IMPLEMENTED

**Status:** Complete **Location:** `src/production-validator.ts`

Production validation runs automatically when `--production` flag is used:

- ✅ Node.js version check (20.x, 22.x, 23.x, 24.x)
- ✅ Write permission validation
- ✅ Required paths validation
- ✅ System resource checks
- ✅ Fail-fast with clear error messages

### 2. Mandatory Production Mode ✅ IMPLEMENTED

**Status:** Complete **Location:** `src/cli/program.ts`,
`src/module-system/module-system.ts`

```bash
# Production mode now enforces ALL safety features
somon compile app.som --production
somon run app.som --production
somon bundle app.som --production

# Or via environment variable
NODE_ENV=production somon compile app.som
```

**Enforced Features:**

- ✅ Environment validation (Node version, permissions)
- ✅ Metrics system (MANDATORY)
- ✅ Circuit breakers (MANDATORY)
- ✅ Structured logging (MANDATORY)
- ✅ Management server (available)
- ✅ Input file validation

### 3. Make Production Features Mandatory ✅ IMPLEMENTED

**Implementation:**

```typescript
// CLI enforces production features via ModuleSystem constructor
async function createModuleSystem(
  baseDir: string,
  config: SomonConfig,
  isProduction = false
) {
  return new ModuleSystem({
    resolution: { baseUrl: baseDir, ...config.moduleSystem?.resolution },
    // Enforce production features when in production mode
    metrics: isProduction || config.moduleSystem?.metrics,
    circuitBreakers: isProduction || config.moduleSystem?.circuitBreakers,
    logger: isProduction || config.moduleSystem?.logger,
    managementServer: isProduction || config.moduleSystem?.managementServer,
  });
}

// Production validation runs before any operation
if (options.production || process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  validateProductionEnvironment(outputFile, [inputFile]);
}
```

**Configuration:**

```json
{
  "moduleSystem": {
    "metrics": true,
    "circuitBreakers": true,
    "logger": true,
    "managementServer": true,
    "managementPort": 3000
  }
}
```

### 4. Implement Health/Readiness Endpoints ✅ IMPLEMENTED

**Status:** Complete **Location:** `src/module-system/runtime-config.ts`

Production health monitoring endpoints are available when management server is
enabled:

```typescript
GET /health        → System health with comprehensive checks
GET /health/ready  → Readiness check for load balancers
GET /metrics       → Operational metrics (latency, errors, resources)
GET /config        → Runtime configuration
GET /circuit-breakers → Circuit breaker status
POST /admin/reset  → Reset metrics and circuit breakers
```

**Health Checks Implemented:**

- Memory usage monitoring (warn >80%, critical >90%)
- CPU usage tracking (warn >80%, critical >90%)
- Cache health monitoring
- Error rate tracking (warn >5%, critical >10%)
- Circuit breaker status

### 5. Error Aggregation & Reporting ✅ IMPLEMENTED

**Status:** Complete **Location:** `src/error-aggregator.ts`

Comprehensive error aggregation with categorization and fail-fast behavior:

```typescript
// Enhanced with production-grade features
class CompilationErrorAggregator {
  collect(error: CompilationError): void; // Collects with auto-categorization
  reportAll(): void; // Comprehensive error report
  failFast(): never; // Exits with proper code (1 or 2)
  hasCriticalErrors(): boolean; // Check for critical issues
  getAllErrors(): CompilationError[]; // Get all collected errors
  static fromException(error: Error, file: string): CompilationError;
}
```

**Features:**

- Error categorization (syntax, type, resolution, system, validation, runtime)
- Severity levels (critical, error, warning)
- Automatic suggestions for common errors
- Grouped reporting by file and category
- Exit code 1 for errors, 2 for critical failures
- Memory-safe (max 100 errors limit)
- Fail-fast on critical errors (configurable)

   - Build comprehensive dashboards

2. **Gradual Rollout**
   - Deploy to staging first
   - Use canary deployments
   - Monitor key metrics during rollout
   - Have rollback plan ready

3. **Documentation**
   - Keep runbooks updated
   - Document known issues
   - Maintain architecture diagrams
   - Update troubleshooting guides

4. **Regular Maintenance**
   - Review and update dependencies
   - Perform load testing quarterly

operational excellence, not just feature completeness. The current
implementation provides both language features AND the operational robustness
required for production systems.
