Adding a new third-party integration

Jira and Linear are the model: per-workspace credentials, a 90s auth-health poller, a settings page with status banner + reconnect CTA, link/import buttons that gate on availability. New integrations should reuse the shared shapes in this folder rather than copying either.

This file covers both halves of the playbook (backend + frontend) so the pattern is readable in one place.

Backend (apps/backend/internal/<name>/)

  • Mirror the package layout: service.go, store.go, client.go, provider.go, handlers.go, models.go, poller.go. Expose Provide(writer, reader *sqlx.DB, secrets SecretStore, eventBus bus.EventBus, log *logger.Logger) (*Service, func() error, error). Pass nil for eventBus when the integration doesn't publish events; both Jira and Linear take and use it for issue-watch publishing.
  • Use internal/integrations/secretadapter instead of writing your own upsert wrapper around secrets.SecretStore. The adapter satisfies any per-integration SecretStore interface shaped as {Reveal, Set, Delete, Exists}.
  • Use internal/integrations/healthpoll for the auth-health loop. Implement the Prober interface (ListConfiguredWorkspaces + RecordAuthHealth) on a small adapter and let healthpoll.New("name", prober, log) own Start/Stop/ticker. Keep integration-specific loops (JQL polling, webhook reconciliation, etc.) separate, like jira's issue-watch loop.
  • Wire the service via a per-domain init<Name>Service(...) helper in cmd/kandev/services.go, not inline in provideServices.
  • Ship a mock_client.go + mock_controller.go next to the real client. Provide branches on KANDEV_MOCK_<NAME>=true and returns the in-memory client; RegisterMockRoutes(router, svc, log) mounts /api/v1/<name>/mock/* only when the service was built with the mock. The e2e backend fixture sets the env var so Playwright tests drive the mock via apiClient.mock<Name>*() helpers — see jira/linear for the layout.
  • If the watcher has a per-watch MaxInflightTasks cap, implement WatchMetadataKey() on the integration's WatcherSource (internal/orchestrator/source_<name>.go) to return the task-metadata watch-id key — the same constant the source writes into BuildTaskRequest's Metadata map (e.g. sentry_issue_watch_id). The throttle gate (acquireWatcherSlot) passes that key to CountOpenWatcherCreatedTasks(metadataKey, watchID), which counts open tasks for the watch. The task repository (internal/task/repository/sqlite/task.go) is intentionally agnostic of integrations — it keys purely on the metadata key, so no repository change is needed per integration. If WatchMetadataKey() returns "" the gate treats the watch as uncapped and the cap silently never applies (Sentry originally shipped with this gap — the cap was stored and validated but never enforced because the repository's old integration switch had no sentry case).

Frontend (apps/web/)

  • Hooks live under hooks/domains/<name>/, not components/<name>/.
  • Use hooks/domains/integrations/use-integration-availability.ts and use-integration-enabled.ts — each integration's useXAvailable / useXEnabled should be a one-line wrapper passing the storage key + sync event + config-fetch function.
  • Settings page reuses <IntegrationAuthStatusBanner> (components/integrations/auth-status-banner.tsx).
  • "Auth required / reconnect" UI reuses <IntegrationAuthErrorMessage> (components/integrations/auth-error-message.tsx) — supply the integration's display name, regex check, and reconnect href.
  • Link / import popovers reuse <ValidatedPopover> (components/integrations/validated-popover.tsx) — supply the icon, label, key regex, fetch function, and success callback.

Where Jira and Linear deliberately diverge

  • Issue model: Jira uses transitions + JQL; Linear uses state IDs + structured filters. Don't merge these schemas — the upstream APIs are genuinely different.
  • Watch filter persistence: Jira stores the JQL string verbatim; Linear stores the structured SearchFilter as JSON in filter_json (Linear has no JQL equivalent). The orchestrator emits NewJiraIssueEvent / NewLinearIssueEvent respectively and dedups by issue key (Jira) vs identifier (Linear).
  • Health column extras: Linear's linear_configs row carries an org_slug captured from successful probes; Jira's row does not.
