git 28ab35ba46 chore(docs): reorganize - move subproject docs to their homes (Phase 1)
Moves 45 documentation files from centralized /docs/ to subproject directories
following proximity-based organization principle. All moves use git mv to preserve history.

Changes:
- workflow/ docs: Move 27 files from docs/workflow/ to workflow/docs/
  - DAG executor docs, workflow compliance, executor analysis, loaderv2 guides, etc.
  - Result: workflow/docs/ now has 27 files

- dbal/ docs: Move 11 files from docs/dbal/ to dbal/docs/
  - DBAL architecture, analysis, integration, and workflow integration docs
  - Result: dbal/docs/ now has 18 files (11 new + 7 pre-existing)

- gameengine/ docs: Move 7 files from docs/gameengine/ to gameengine/docs/
  - GameEngine compliance audits, packages, Quake3, soundboard, engine tester
  - Result: gameengine/docs/ now has 20 files (7 new + 13 pre-existing)

Benefits:
- Docs are now closer to their code (easier to keep in sync)
- Reduces /docs/ clutter
- Establishes pattern for per-subproject documentation
- All git history preserved via git mv

Next phases:
- Phase 2: Move package-specific docs to /packages/{id}/docs/
- Phase 3: Separate N8N compliance docs by scope
- Phase 4: Organize UI documentation
- Phase 5: Create cross-project indices

## Service Overview
### Three-Layer Architecture
```
Next.js API Routes
Middleware (Auth + Rate Limiting)
Service Layer (WorkflowExecutionEngine)
Execution Engine (@metabuilder/workflow)
Database (DBAL - Placeholder Methods)
```

---
## Implementation Phases
### Phase 1: WorkflowLoaderV2 (2-3 hours) 🔴 PRIORITY
**What**: Create validation and resolution layer
**Where**: `/frontends/nextjs/src/lib/workflow/workflow-loader.ts`
**Code**: See [`WORKFLOW_LOADERV2_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md`](./WORKFLOW_LOADERV2_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md)
**Why**: Critical blocker for real execution
### Phase 2: DBAL Integration (1-2 hours)
**What**: Implement database methods
**Where**: `workflow-service.ts` (6 methods)
**Code**: See "Integration Points" in [`NEXTJS_WORKFLOW_SERVICE_MAP.md`](./NEXTJS_WORKFLOW_SERVICE_MAP.md)
**Why**: Enables workflow persistence
### Phase 3: Execution Storage (1-2 hours)
**What**: Persist execution records
**Where**: New `execution.yaml` entity + DBAL integration
**Why**: Enables execution history and monitoring
### Phase 4: Advanced Features (3-5 hours)
**What**: Abort logic, secrets, async execution
**Why**: Production-ready features
---
## Critical Integration Points for WorkflowLoaderV2
### Point 1: Load Workflow
**Current**: `loadWorkflow()` returns null (line 223-238)
**Change**: Call DBAL with tenantId filter
**Reference**: [`WORKFLOW_LOADERV2_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md`](./WORKFLOW_LOADERV2_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md) - loadFromDatabase() method
### Point 2: Validate Schema
**Current**: No validation before execution
**Change**: Add loader.load() in execute route (before engine.executeWorkflow())
**Reference**: [`WORKFLOW_LOADERV2_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md`](./WORKFLOW_LOADERV2_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md) - Integration Points section
### Point 3: Resolve Nodes
**Current**: Runtime error if node type unknown
**Change**: Pre-resolve in loader, return specific errors
**Reference**: [`WORKFLOW_LOADERV2_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md`](./WORKFLOW_LOADERV2_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md) - resolveNodes() method

## Current State Assessment
### What Works ✅
- Authentication (permission level checks)
- Rate limiting (per IP, sliding window)
- Multi-tenant structure (route params, validation)
- API route structure (Express-like)
- Error handling framework
- Type safety (TypeScript)
- DAG execution (via @metabuilder/workflow)
### What's Missing ❌
- Database loading (all methods placeholder)
- Schema validation (no WorkflowLoaderV2)
- Execution storage (no persistence)
- Secrets management
- Abort logic
- Node executor registration
- Distributed rate limiting (needs Redis)
### What Needs Fix ⚠️
- Permission mismatch (API allows level 1, schema requires admin)
- In-memory rate limiting (single instance only)
- Synchronous execution (blocks for long workflows)
- No caching layer
---
## Success Criteria for WorkflowLoaderV2
- [ ] Workflows validated before execution
- [ ] Invalid workflows return 400 with schema errors
- [ ] Unknown node types caught with specific error code
- [ ] Caching reduces database queries
- [ ] All error codes map to appropriate HTTP status
- [ ] Multi-tenant filtering enforced
- [ ] Tests pass (unit + integration + E2E)
- [ ] Zero regressions
---
## Key Metrics

- Placeholders: 2 (loadWorkflow, saveExecutionRecord, etc)
### Endpoints
- Implemented: 3
- Planned: 4+
### Types
- Imported: 10 from @metabuilder/workflow
- Custom: 4

## Common Questions
### Q: Why is the service only 40% complete?
A: Database integration, validation layer, and execution storage are missing. The infrastructure (auth, routing, error handling) is complete.
### Q: When can this run real workflows?
A: After WorkflowLoaderV2 integration (2-3 hours) + DBAL implementation (1-2 hours).
### Q: What happens if I execute a workflow now?
A: It loads null from database, then DAGExecutor fails with "workflow not found" error.
### Q: Where should I start?
A: Create WorkflowLoaderV2 class in `/frontends/nextjs/src/lib/workflow/workflow-loader.ts` using code from [`WORKFLOW_LOADERV2_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md`](./WORKFLOW_LOADERV2_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md).
### Q: Is multi-tenant support working?
A: Partially. Routes validate tenantId, but database queries aren't implemented (placeholders).
### Q: Can this scale to production?
A: Not yet. Rate limiting is in-memory (needs Redis), execution is synchronous (needs async queue).
