# Kandev WebSocket API Reference

This document provides a complete reference for all WebSocket API actions, their payloads, responses, and usage patterns.

## Overview

Kandev uses a **single WebSocket connection** for all API operations and real-time streaming. This eliminates the need for separate REST endpoints and enables full-duplex communication.

**Endpoint**: `ws://localhost:8080/ws`

### Message Envelope

All messages follow this JSON envelope format:

```json
{
  "id": "uuid",
  "type": "request|response|notification|error",
  "action": "action.name",
  "payload": {},
  "timestamp": "2026-01-10T12:00:00Z"
}
```

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `id` | string | UUID for request/response correlation. Omit for notifications. |
| `type` | string | Message type: `request`, `response`, `notification`, or `error` |
| `action` | string | The action to perform or that was performed |
| `payload` | object | Action-specific data |
| `timestamp` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp (optional) |

### Error Response Format

```json
{
  "id": "correlation-uuid",
  "type": "error",
  "action": "original.action",
  "payload": {
    "code": "ERROR_CODE",
    "message": "Human-readable message",
    "details": {}
  }
}
```

**Error Codes:**
- `BAD_REQUEST` - Invalid message format
- `VALIDATION_ERROR` - Missing or invalid fields
- `NOT_FOUND` - Resource not found
- `INTERNAL_ERROR` - Server error
- `UNKNOWN_ACTION` - Action not recognized

```

### Typical Workflow

1. **Connect** to `ws://localhost:8080/ws`
2. **Create Board** → `board.create`
3. **Create Column** → `column.create`
4. **Create Task** → `task.create`
5. **Subscribe to Task** → `task.subscribe` (receive real-time updates)
6. **Start Execution** → `orchestrator.start` (launches agent)
7. **Receive ACP Notifications** ← `acp.progress`, `acp.log`, etc.
8. **Send Follow-up Prompts** → `orchestrator.prompt` (multi-turn)
9. **Complete Task** → `orchestrator.complete`
10. **Unsubscribe** → `task.unsubscribe`

## Complete Usage Example

```javascript
const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8080/ws');
const pending = new Map();

// Handle incoming messages
ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const msg = JSON.parse(event.data);

  if (msg.type === 'response' || msg.type === 'error') {
    // Resolve pending request
    const resolve = pending.get(msg.id);
    if (resolve) {
      pending.delete(msg.id);
      resolve(msg);
    }
  } else if (msg.type === 'notification') {
    // Handle real-time updates
    console.log(`[${msg.action}]`, msg.payload);
  }
};

// Helper to send requests
function request(action, payload) {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    const id = crypto.randomUUID();
    pending.set(id, resolve);
    ws.send(JSON.stringify({ id, type: 'request', action, payload }));
  });
}

// Full workflow example
async function runTask() {
  // 1. Create board
  const board = await request('board.create', { name: 'My Project' });

  // 2. Create column
  const column = await request('column.create', {
    board_id: board.payload.id,
    name: 'To Do',
    state: 'TODO'
  });

  // 3. Create task
  const task = await request('task.create', {
    board_id: board.payload.id,
    column_id: column.payload.id,
    title: 'Implement user authentication',
    agent_type: 'auggie'
  });

  // 4. Subscribe to updates
  await request('task.subscribe', { task_id: task.payload.id });

  // 5. Start execution
  await request('orchestrator.start', { task_id: task.payload.id });

  // 6. ACP notifications will now stream automatically...

  // 7. Send follow-up prompt (optional)
  await request('orchestrator.prompt', {
    task_id: task.payload.id,
    prompt: 'Also add JWT token validation'
  });

  // 8. When done, complete the task
  await request('orchestrator.complete', { task_id: task.payload.id });

  // 9. Unsubscribe
  await request('task.unsubscribe', { task_id: task.payload.id });
}
