1# Architecture & System Design Document2 3## Executive Summary4 5This code generation system implements a **compiler-like architecture** for transforming natural language requirements into complete, validated, and executable application configurations. The system prioritizes reliability, consistency, and deterministic behavior over raw flexibility.6 7## System Architecture8 9### High-Level Pipeline10 11```12User Input (Natural Language)13 ↓14[Stage 1] Intent Extraction15 └─→ Structured intermediate representation16 ↓17[Stage 2] System Design Layer18 └─→ Domain model and architecture blueprint19 ↓20[Stage 3] Schema Generation21 └─→ Database, API, UI, and Auth schemas22 ↓23[Stage 4] Refinement & Validation24 ├─→ Comprehensive validation25 └─→ Intelligent repair (if needed)26 ↓27Output: Executable Configuration (JSON)28 ↓29Runtime Simulator30 └─→ Proof of executability31```32 33## Detailed Architecture34 35### 1. Intent Extraction Stage36 37**Purpose**: Parse natural language into structured form38 39**Inputs**: Free-form user prompt (string)40 41**Process**:42- Pattern-based extraction (primary)43- Optional LLM-based extraction (enhanced)44- Identify: features, roles, entities, requirements, constraints45 46**Outputs**: Structured intent object47```python48{49 "app_name": "string",50 "app_description": "string",51 "key_features": ["string"],52 "user_roles": ["string"],53 "core_entities": ["string"],54 "business_requirements": ["string"],55 "constraints": ["string"]56}57```58 59**Key Design Decisions**:60- Pattern-based extraction first (predictable, fast, low-cost)61- Optional LLM enhancement (higher quality, higher cost)62- Conservative extraction (better to miss than hallucinate)63 64### 2. System Design Layer65 66**Purpose**: Convert intent into domain model and architecture67 68**Inputs**: Intent object69 70**Process**:71- Generate entity relationships72- Define user flows73- Create RBAC matrix74- Design UI structure75- Map business logic76 77**Outputs**: System design object78```python79{80 "entities": { "name": ["attributes"] },81 "user_flows": [{ "name": "string", "steps": ["string"] }],82 "roles_and_permissions": { "role": ["permissions"] },83 "data_models": ["string"],84 "api_patterns": ["string"],85 "ui_structure": ["string"]86}87```88 89**Key Design Decisions**:90- Generate standard flows (login, CRUD, admin)91- RBAC defaults (user, admin, guest)92- Conservative attribute generation93- Extensible for custom flows94 95### 3. Schema Generation96 97**Purpose**: Generate complete, production-ready schemas98 99**Inputs**: System design + Intent100 101**Process**:102For each schema type:103- Database: Tables, fields, primary keys, indexes, relations104- API: RESTful endpoints, methods, validation rules105- UI: Pages, components, layouts106- Auth: JWT config, expiry, roles107 108**Outputs**: Complete configuration109```python110{111 "app_name": "string",112 "app_description": "string",113 "database_schema": [...],114 "api_schema": [...],115 "ui_schema": [...],116 "auth_config": {...},117 "roles": [...],118 "business_logic": {...}119}120```121 122**Key Design Decisions**:123- REST API pattern (standard, widely supported)124- JWT authentication (stateless, scalable)125- Normalized database schema126- Component-based UI structure127- Backward compatibility with existing frameworks128 129### 4. Refinement & Validation Layer130 131This is the **CORE** of the system - implements compiler-like error detection and repair.132 133#### 4.1 Validation Engine134 135Checks for:136 1371. **JSON Validity**138 - Valid JSON structure139 - Proper nesting and formatting140 1412. **Required Fields**142 - Top-level: app_name, database_schema, api_schema, etc.143 - Table-level: name, fields, primary_key144 - Endpoint-level: path, method145 - Page-level: path, title, components146 1473. **Type Safety**148 - Valid field types (string, number, boolean, date, email, enum, array, object)149 - Valid HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH)150 - Consistent type usage151 1524. **Cross-Layer Consistency**153 - API request/response fields map to DB fields154 - UI form fields reference API endpoints155 - Auth roles are defined before being referenced156 - Foreign key references point to existing tables157 1585. **Hallucination Detection**159 - Placeholder text detection ("TODO", "FIXME")160 - Semantic validation of field names161 - Inconsistency detection162 1636. **Logical Consistency**164 - Primary keys exist in field definitions165 - No circular dependencies166 - Role hierarchy is valid167 168#### 4.2 Repair Engine169 170**Core Philosophy**: Intelligent targeted repair, not blind retry171 172Repairs:1731. **Missing Fields**: Add sensible defaults1742. **Invalid Types**: Convert to valid type1753. **Missing References**: Link to appropriate entity1764. **Malformed JSON**: Apply formatting fixes1775. **Schema Gaps**: Fill with generated values178 179**Repair Strategy**:180```181For each error:182 IF error_type == "missing_field":183 Add default value for field184 ELIF error_type == "invalid_type":185 Convert to valid type186 ELIF error_type == "dangling_reference":187 Generate or link to valid entity188 ...189 ELSE:190 Mark as critical, skip repair191```192 193**Iterative Refinement**:194- Run validation → Get errors195- Apply repairs → Update config196- Re-validate197- Repeat until no more errors (max 3 iterations)198 199**Key Design Decision**: Repair specific issues rather than regenerate entire config200- **Why**: Regeneration loses all prior context and may introduce new errors201- **Trade-off**: More complex to implement, but much more reliable202 203### 5. Runtime Simulator204 205**Purpose**: Prove that generated config can actually execute206 207**Checks**:2081. Database schema can be initialized2092. API endpoints are syntactically valid2103. UI pages can be rendered2114. Authentication system can function2125.
