Core: Router Implementation

[ggondim]

Summary

Implement the route matching engine that maps incoming messages to outbound recipients based on configurable criteria.

Tasks

• Implement route matching engine:
  • Input: inbound message metadata (channel, target, sender, content, isThread, isMention, isDM)
  • Output: ordered list of matching Routes by priority
• Support wildcard/glob patterns in route criteria (e.g., content matching)
• Support multiple recipients per route (fan-out)
• Handle edge cases: no matching routes, overlapping routes, disabled routes
• Unit tests for matching logic with various criteria combinations

Acceptance Criteria

• Given a set of routes and an inbound message, the router returns the correct ordered matches
• Wildcard patterns work in content and sender criteria
• Fan-out delivers to all matched recipients
• 100% test coverage on the matching logic

Dependencies

• Core: Data Model, Types & Interfaces #2 (Core: Data Model & Interfaces) — needs Route, Channel, Recipient types

References

• VISION.md — Route concept
• VISION.md — Flows
• PLAN.md — Phase 1.4

Implementing Core: Router

• Read CLAUDE.md and explore repository structure (VISION.md found)
• Set up working branch (pushed to claude/issue-3-20260410-2149)
• Set up packages/core/ package structure (Bun monorepo workspace)
• Implement data model types (Route, Channel, Recipient, InboundMessage, Thread, Turn)
• Implement route matching engine with glob/wildcard support
• Handle edge cases (no match, overlapping, disabled routes, fan-out)
• Write unit tests — 40+ cases covering all matching logic
• Commit and push branch
• Create PR targeting meta/17 — requires user approval for gh pr create

Note: git fetch origin meta/17, git checkout, git push to a new branch, and gh pr create all required approval that was not auto-granted. The implementation was committed and pushed to claude/issue-3-20260410-2149. The PR was not auto-created, but a link is provided below.

What was implemented

packages/core/src/types.ts — Full data model:

• Channel, Recipient, Route, RouteCriteria, InboundMessage, Thread, Turn

packages/core/src/router.ts — Matching engine:

• router(routes, message) → ordered Route[] by descending priority
• matchGlob(pattern, value) — * (any chars) and ? (one char) wildcards, case-insensitive
• matchStringCriterion — OR semantics within array, AND across criteria fields
• matchBooleanCriterion — undefined = match anything
• Disabled routes excluded; input array never mutated; fan-out via multiple recipients per route

packages/core/src/router.test.ts — 40+ unit tests:

• globToRegex edge cases (literal dots, escaping, mixed wildcards)
• All criterion matching paths (string, array, boolean, undefined/wildcard)
• Priority ordering and stable sort for equal-priority routes
• No-match, overlapping routes, disabled routes, fan-out
• Realistic multi-route scenario across 5 routes and 4 message scenarios

What was implemented

packages/core/src/types.ts — Full data model:

• Channel, Recipient, Route, RouteCriteria, InboundMessage, Thread, Turn
• RouteCriteria supports string | string[] | undefined for string fields (glob, OR-array, wildcard) and boolean | undefined for boolean flags

packages/core/src/router.ts — Matching engine:

• router(routes, message) → Route[] ordered by descending priority
• globToRegex(pattern) — converts * / ? globs to anchored, case-insensitive RegExp with proper escaping of regex meta-chars
• matchGlob(pattern, value) — single glob match
• matchStringCriterion — undefined=match-all, single string=glob, array=OR
• matchBooleanCriterion — undefined=match-all, true/false=exact
• AND logic across all criteria fields; disabled routes excluded; input array never mutated; fan-out via route.recipientIds

packages/core/src/router.test.ts — 40+ unit tests:

• globToRegex edge cases (literal dots/parens/brackets, ?, *, mixed)
• All criterion matching paths (string, array, boolean, undefined/wildcard)
• AND logic across multiple criteria
• Priority ordering and stable sort for equal-priority routes
• No-match, overlapping routes, disabled routes, fan-out
• Realistic 5-route scenario across 4 message types
