# Git CLI Integration - Final Summary

## Problem Statement

Branch creation requires Git CLI integration (noted in API response). Semantic merging and SDG analysis per roadmap Phase 2+. Additional platform support (Bitbucket, etc.) can be added following the same pattern.

## Solution Delivered

### 1. Git CLI Integration ✅

**Implementation:**
- Created `backend/include/wizardmerge/git/git_cli.h` - Git CLI wrapper API
- Created `backend/src/git/git_cli.cpp` - Full implementation with 9 operations
- Created `backend/tests/test_git_cli.cpp` - 9 comprehensive unit tests
- Updated `backend/src/controllers/PRController.cc` - Branch creation workflow
- Updated `backend/CMakeLists.txt` - Build system integration

**Features:**
- `clone_repository()` - Clone repos with branch and depth options
- `create_branch()` - Create and checkout branches
- `checkout_branch()` - Switch branches
- `add_files()` - Stage files for commit
- `commit()` - Commit with config and message escaping
- `push()` - Push to remote with upstream tracking
- `get_current_branch()` - Query current branch
- `branch_exists()` - Check branch existence
- `status()` - Get repository status
- `is_git_available()` - Verify Git availability

**API Enhancement:**
- Removed "not yet implemented" note
- Added `branch_created` field to response
- Added `branch_name` field with auto-generated fallback
- Added `branch_path` field pointing to local clone
- Added `note` field with push instructions

**Security:**
- Commit message escaping prevents injection
- Git config validation with error handling
- Proper shell quoting for file paths
- No credentials embedded in URLs
- Temp directories with unique timestamps

**Portability:**
- Uses `std::filesystem::temp_directory_path()`
- Includes `<sys/wait.h>` for WEXITSTATUS
- Cross-platform compatible
- No hardcoded `/tmp` paths

### 2. Semantic Merging Documentation ✅

**Added to ROADMAP.md Phase 2.1:**

**JSON Merging:**
- Merge by key structure, preserve nested objects
- Handle array conflicts intelligently
- Detect structural vs. value changes
- Smart array merging by ID fields

**YAML Merging:**
- Preserve hierarchy and indentation
- Maintain comments and anchors
- Schema-aware conflict detection
- Multi-document YAML support

**Package Files:**
- `package.json` (npm): Merge by semver ranges
- `requirements.txt` (pip): Detect version conflicts
- `go.mod`, `Cargo.toml`, `pom.xml`: Language-specific resolution
- Breaking version upgrade detection

**XML Merging:**
- Preserve DTD and schema declarations
- Match elements by attributes (e.g., `id`)
- Handle namespaces correctly

**AST-Based Merging:**
- **Python**: Imports, functions, classes, decorators, type hints
- **JavaScript/TypeScript**: Modules, exports, React components
- **Java**: Class structure, method overloads, annotations
- **C/C++**: Header guards, includes, macros, namespaces

### 3. SDG Analysis Documentation ✅

**Added to ROADMAP.md Phase 2.1:**

**System Dependence Graph (SDG) Analysis:**
Based on research paper achieving 28.85% reduction in conflict resolution time and suggestions for >70% of conflicted blocks.

**Implementation Approach:**
- Build dependency graphs at multiple levels:
  - Text-level: Line and block dependencies
  - LLVM-IR level: Data and control flow (for C/C++)
  - AST-level: Semantic dependencies (all languages)
- Use tree-sitter for AST parsing
- Integrate LLVM for IR analysis
- Build dependency database per file
- Cache analysis results for performance

**Conflict Analysis:**
- Detect true conflicts vs. false conflicts
- Identify dependent code blocks
- Compute conflict impact radius
- Suggest resolution based on dependency chains
- Visual dependency graph in UI
- Highlight upstream/downstream dependencies

### 4. Platform Extensibility Documentation ✅

**Added to ROADMAP.md Phase 2.5:**

**Bitbucket Support:**
- Bitbucket Cloud API integration
- URL pattern: `https://bitbucket.org/workspace/repo/pull-requests/123`
- Authentication via App passwords or OAuth
- Support for Bitbucket Server (self-hosted)

**Azure DevOps Support:**
- Azure DevOps REST API integration
- URL pattern: `https://dev.azure.com/org/project/_git/repo/pullrequest/123`
- Authentication via Personal Access Tokens
- Support for on-premises Azure DevOps Server

**Gitea/Forgejo Support:**
- Self-hosted Git service integration
- Compatible API with GitHub/GitLab patterns
- Community-driven platforms

**Extensible Platform Pattern:**

Interface design:
```cpp
class GitPlatformAPI {
  virtual PullRequest fetch_pr_info() = 0;
  virtual std::vector<std::string> fetch_file_content() = 0;
  virtual bool create_comment() = 0;
  virtual bool update_pr_status() = 0;
};
```

Implementation guide provided with:
- Platform registry with auto-detection
- Plugin system for custom platforms
- Configuration-based platform definitions
- Common API adapter layer
- Step-by-step implementation guide
- Complete Bitbucket example code

## Test Results
