2025-02-17 - Enhanced Mode State Management Architecture

Context

The current mode management system provides basic functionality for toggling between Plan and Act modes with simple state persistence. However, as the system grows, we need a more robust and feature-rich mode management system that can handle complex state management, mode-specific behaviors, and better integration with other components.

Decision

Implement an enhanced mode state management system with the following key components:

  1. Advanced State Management

    • Implement mode-specific settings store
    • Add context preservation between mode switches
    • Create mode initialization hooks
    • Add state validation and recovery mechanisms
  2. Event System

    • Implement pre/post mode change hooks
    • Add event queueing system
    • Create mode-specific event handlers
    • Support async event processing
  3. Persistence Layer

    • Enhanced state file format with versioning
    • State migration system
    • Corruption detection and recovery
    • Mode-specific context preservation
  4. Integration System

    • Mode-aware plugin architecture
    • LSP integration with mode context
    • Buffer and window layout persistence
    • Mode-specific UI elements

Rationale

  • Current system lacks robust state management
  • Need better integration with other components
  • Require more sophisticated event handling
  • Want to support mode-specific behaviors
  • Need better error handling and recovery
  • Desire for mode-specific UI/UX customization

Implementation

  1. Phase 1: Core State Management

    • Enhance state persistence
    • Add validation system
    • Implement context preservation
  2. Phase 2: Event System

    • Add event hooks
    • Implement queueing
    • Create handlers
  3. Phase 3: Persistence Layer

    • Update state format
    • Add versioning
    • Implement migration
  4. Phase 4: Integration

    • Plugin integration
    • LSP integration
    • UI integration

Consequences

Positive:

  • More robust state management
  • Better error handling
  • Enhanced user experience
  • More flexible configuration
  • Better integration capabilities

Negative:

  • Increased complexity
  • More maintenance overhead
  • Larger codebase
  • More potential failure points

Status

  • Decision approved
  • Implementation planning in progress
  • Initial architecture documented
  • Ready for code mode implementation
