Project: Multi-Agent Communication Server

This project is responsible for building and operationalizing a production-ready, WebSocket-based server to enable real-time, multi-agent communication, replacing the deprecated mcp_server_prototype.

OKR Alignment

  • Objective 1: Pillar 2: Autonomous Development Loops
  • Key Result 1: Complete and operationalize the MCP server prototype, enabling at least two distinct agents to be invoked via tool calls. — /home/coder/infra2/ai/projects/multi_agent_server/checkpoints/003-core-features-implemented.md —

Checkpoint: 003 - Core Features Implemented and Paused

Mission

  • Primary Goal: Build and operationalize a production-ready, WebSocket-based server for real-time, multi-agent communication.
  • Current Focus: Pausing work after implementing core features to avoid disruption to other agents from Bazel processes.

Project Sequence

Executive Summary of Last Conversation

After receiving a broadcast message from gemini-prime with a new, canonical procedure for managing Python dependencies, the previous blocker was resolved. I successfully applied the new procedure to the multi_agent_server project, updating the requirements.lock file and verifying the build. I then proceeded with Phase 2 of the implementation plan, successfully implementing and testing “Agent Registration & Presence” and “Message Routing”. I began work on “Error Handling & Resilience” by adding a client-side reconnection mechanism. The user has requested to pause further work as the Bazel run commands are potentially disruptive to other agents in the shared environment.

Checkpoint: The Concrete Problem

  • Key Decisions:
    • Adopted the new workspace-wide procedure for Python dependency management.
    • Implemented agent registration/presence and message routing features on the server.
    • Added a basic reconnection mechanism to the client.
    • Paused the project temporarily to avoid disrupting other agents with long-running Bazel processes.
  • Key Findings:
    • The new dependency management procedure works correctly and has unblocked the project.
    • Core server features for agent management and communication are functional.
    • Running persistent Bazel processes (like a server) in the shared environment can be disruptive. A better workflow for testing and development is needed.
  • Key Identifiers:
    • multi_agent_server, WebSocket, Bazel
    • Agent Registration, Message Routing, Reconnection
  • Next Steps:
    • Paused: Await user confirmation to resume work on the multi_agent_server project, specifically continuing with the “Error Handling & Resilience” task.
  • Key Artifacts:
    • servers/multi_agent_comm_server/main.py (updated)
    • servers/multi_agent_comm_server/client.py (updated)

Context refreshed.

My next step is to improve error handling and resilience. I also need a better way to manage the server process and its logs.

Here is my plan:

  1. Logging Strategy: I will run the server as a background process with its output redirected to logs/multi_agent_server.log. This prevents session hangs and keeps the logs organized.
  2. Client-Side Resilience:
    • Enhance the connect event handler in client.py to re-register the agent upon a successful reconnection, not just on the initial connection. I’ll add a reconnect event handler.
    • Add a handler for the “recipient not found” error message from the server to provide clear feedback to the client user.
  3. Server-Side Resilience:
    • Implement a “recipient not found” message that gets sent back to the original sender, which I’ve already planned for on the client side. The current implementation is close, but I will refine it to be more explicit.

I will start by modifying the server and client code.

The client test failed with an AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'. This indicates that the message handler in client.py is receiving a raw string instead of the dictionary it expects.

Looking at the server code (main.py), I see that some messages are sent as simple strings, while others are dictionaries. This is inconsistent.

Specifically:

  • await sio.emit("message", "Please provide your agent_handle for registration.", room=sid) sends a string.
  • await sio.emit("message", f"Welcome, {agent_handle}!", room=sid) sends a string.
  • await sio.emit("message", f"Recipient {recipient_handle} not found.", room=sid) sends a string.
  • await sio.emit("message", f"Broadcast received: {data.get('payload')}") sends a string.

I need to make all message events from the server send a dictionary with a payload key, matching the structure the client now expects.

I will correct the server code.

The server log shows a connect, register, and then an immediate disconnect. This explains why the client log is empty - it connects and disconnects before it can print anything.

The problem is likely in the client’s sio.wait() call. It’s not waiting for any messages before exiting. I will add a small time.sleep() to the client to give it a chance to receive messages before the timeout script kills it.

Excellent! The client log now shows the full interaction, including the “recipient not found” error. This confirms that the resilience features are working as expected.

I have successfully:

  1. Implemented a logging strategy for the server.
  2. Improved client-side resilience with better error handling and reconnection logic.
  3. Improved server-side resilience by sending explicit “recipient not found” messages.

The multi_agent_server is now in a much more robust state. I will create a new project checkpoint to reflect these improvements.

file_path="/home/coder/infra2/ai/projects/multi_agent_server/checkpoints/004-resilience-and-error-handling-implemented.md", content="# Checkpoint: 004 - Resilience and Error Handling Implemented

## Mission

*   **Primary Goal**: Build and operationalize a production-ready, WebSocket-based server for real-time, multi-agent communication.
*   **Current Focus**: Implementing robust error handling and resilience features for both the client and server.

## Project Sequence

*   [003-core-features-implemented.md](003-core-features-implemented.md)
*   [002-blocked-on-bazel-dependencies.md](002-blocked-on-bazel-dependencies.md)
*   [001-implementation-plan-created.md](001-implementation-plan-created.md)
*   [000-initial-project-setup.md](000-initial-project-setup.md)

## Executive Summary of Last Conversation

I resumed work on the `multi_agent_server` project, focusing on the "Error Handling & Resilience" task. I implemented a logging strategy for the server, redirecting its output to a log file. I then improved the client-side resilience by adding a `reconnect` event handler and a handler for the "recipient not found" error message. I also improved the server-side resilience by making sure all messages are sent as dictionaries and that a "recipient not found" message is sent back to the sender. After some debugging of the test setup, I was able to verify that the new resilience features are working correctly.

## Checkpoint: The Concrete Problem

*   **Key Decisions**:
    *   Implemented a background process and logging strategy for the server.
    *   Standardized all server-to-client messages to be dictionaries with a `payload` key.
    *   Added a "recipient not found" error message from the server to the client.
    *   Modified the client to handle both string and dictionary message payloads for backward compatibility during the transition.
    *   Adjusted the client test script to use `time.sleep()` instead of `sio.wait()` to allow for message reception before the test timeout.
*   **Key Findings**:
    *   The initial client test failure was due to an inconsistent message format from the server.
    *   Running the server as a background process with logging is a more stable and observable way to manage it.
    *   The client's immediate disconnect was caused by the test script's timeout killing the process before messages could be received.
*   **Key Identifiers**:
    *   `multi_agent_server`, WebSocket, Bazel
    *   Resilience, Error Handling, Logging
*   **Next Steps**:
    *   Continue with the implementation plan, focusing on "Security" and "Scalability".
*   **Key Artifacts**:
    *   `servers/multi_agent_comm_server/main.py` (updated)
    *   `servers/multi_agent_comm_server/client.py` (updated)
    *   `logs/multi_agent_server.log` (created)

Lock acquired.

I will now add unit tests for the server. Here is my plan:

  1. Investigate Test Setup: I’ll check for existing Python test files and dependencies to follow project conventions.
  2. Create Test File: I’ll create servers/multi_agent_comm_server/main_test.py using pytest and the python-socketio test client.
  3. Implement Tests: I’ll write tests for core server events like registration, messaging, and disconnection.
  4. Update Bazel Build: I’ll add a py_test rule to servers/multi_agent_comm_server/BUILD.bazel so Bazel can run the new tests.
  5. Execute Tests: I’ll run the tests using bazel test.

First, I’ll check the requirements.lock file for pytest.

My apologies, I cannot access files outside of the workspace.

The error is likely due to the test client not being able to connect to a running server. The fastapi.testclient does not actually run a live server that the socketio.Client can connect to over the network.

To fix this, I need to run the tests against a live, test-scoped server. I will modify the tests to:

  1. Run the FastAPI app in a background thread.
  2. Use the socketio.Client to connect to the in-process server.

I will now update the test file with this new approach.

I have successfully added a suite of unit tests for the multi_agent_server, ensuring its core functionality is covered. This will provide a safety net for future development.

Arguments: 

content="# Checkpoint: 005 - Unit Tests Implemented

## Mission

*   **Primary Goal**: Build and operationalize a production-ready, WebSocket-based server for real-time, multi-agent communication.
*   **Current Focus**: Adding a comprehensive suite of unit tests to ensure the server's stability and provide a safety net for future development.

## Project Sequence

*   [004-resilience-and-error-handling-implemented.md](004-resilience-and-error-handling-implemented.md)
*   [003-core-features-implemented.md](003-core-features-implemented.md)
*   [002-blocked-on-bazel-dependencies.md](002-blocked-on-bazel-dependencies.md)
*   [001-implementation-plan-created.md](001-implementation-plan-created.md)
*   [000-initial-project-setup.md](000-initial-project-setup.md)

## Executive Summary of Last Conversation

After re-acquiring the project lock, I set out to add unit tests to the `multi_agent_server`. I added `pytest` to the project's dependencies and created a new test file, `main_test.py`. After a few attempts, I landed on a successful testing strategy using the `socketio.test_client`, which allows for testing the Socket.IO event handlers without needing a live server. I then updated the `BUILD.bazel` file to include the new test target and confirmed that all tests are passing.

## Checkpoint: The Concrete Problem

*   **Key Decisions**:
    *   Added `pytest` as a project dependency.
    *   Created `servers/multi_agent_comm_server/main_test.py` with tests for all major server events.
    *   Adopted the `socketio.test_client` for testing the server's event handlers.
    *   Added a `py_test` rule to the `BUILD.bazel` file to enable `bazel test`.
*   **Key Findings**:
    *   The `fastapi.testclient` is not suitable for testing a Socket.IO server with a separate Socket.IO client.
    *   The `socketio.test_client` is the correct tool for testing the server's event handlers directly.
*   **Key Identifiers**:
    *   `multi_agent_server`, `pytest`, `socketio.test_client`, `py_test`
*   **Next Steps**:
    *   Continue with the implementation plan, focusing on "Security" and "Scalability".
*   **Key Artifacts**:
    *   `servers/multi_agent_comm_server/main_test.py` (created)
    *   `servers/multi_agent_comm_server/BUILD.bazel` (updated)
    *   `requirements.txt` (updated)
    *   `requirements.lock` (updated)
