This PR implements all 7 remaining TODO items in the GABS codebase, providing production-ready implementations with comprehensive testing.

Key Changes

1. Exponential Backoff with Jitter (internal/gabp/client.go)

Replaced the fixed delay retry mechanism with proper exponential backoff:

  • Mathematical exponential growth: backoffMin * 2^attempts
  • ±25% randomized jitter to prevent thundering herd problems
  • Respects backoffMin and backoffMax parameters
  • Prevents simultaneous game connection issues
// Before: time.Sleep(backoffMin)
// After: Exponential backoff with jitter
multiplier := math.Pow(2, float64(attempts))
backoffDelay := time.Duration(float64(backoffMin) * multiplier)
if backoffDelay > backoffMax {
    backoffDelay = backoffMax
}
// Add ±25% jitter

2. Real-time Notification System (internal/mirror/mirror.go, internal/mcp/stdio_server.go)

Implemented MCP-compliant notification system:

  • Automatic tools/list_changed notifications when new tools are registered
  • resources/list_changed notifications for dynamic resource updates
  • Client connection tracking for notification broadcasting
  • Both stdio and HTTP transport support

3. Comprehensive Resource Mirroring (internal/mirror/mirror.go)

Enhanced GABP resource mirroring with three resource types:

  • Event Logs: Real-time GABP events with structured JSON data
  • Game State: Current game capabilities and tool availability
  • Event Stream: Real-time event streaming support (extensible for full GABP event subscription)

4. Automatic Resource Cleanup (internal/mcp/stdio_server.go)

Implemented comprehensive cleanup when games terminate:

  • Tracks game-specific tools and resources via gameTools and gameResources maps
  • Automatically unregisters all game-specific tools (e.g., minecraft.*)
  • Cleans up bridge configuration files using new GetBridgeConfigPath()
  • Sends notifications to alert AI agents when tools/resources are removed

5. Full HTTP Transport (internal/mcp/http_server.go)

Complete MCP over HTTP implementation:

  • JSON-RPC over HTTP: POST /mcp endpoint handling all MCP methods
  • Server-Sent Events: GET /mcp/events for real-time notifications
  • Proper HTTP method validation and error handling
  • Connection management with graceful shutdown
  • Health check endpoint at /health
POST /mcp
Content-Type: application/json

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}

Testing Coverage

Added comprehensive test suites:

  • Exponential backoff: 3 test cases validating timing, jitter, and maximum capping
  • Notification system: Mock server testing for proper notification delivery
  • Resource cleanup: Tests for tool/resource tracking and cleanup operations
  • HTTP transport: 5 test cases covering JSON-RPC, SSE, method validation, and error handling

Technical Details

Architecture Improvements

  • Interface-based design: Created MCPServer and GABPClient interfaces for better testability
  • Resource tracking: Added gameTools and gameResources maps for ownership tracking
  • Connection management: Proper client connection tracking for notification broadcasting

Error Handling

  • Robust HTTP error responses with proper status codes
  • Graceful handling of disconnected notification clients
  • Safe cleanup operations that won't panic on missing resources

Performance Considerations

  • Efficient notification broadcasting to multiple clients
  • Non-blocking notification delivery with timeouts
  • Minimal memory overhead for resource tracking

Backward Compatibility

All changes are fully backward compatible:

  • Existing APIs and method signatures unchanged
  • Previous behavior preserved for all existing functionality
  • New features are additive and don't affect existing workflows

Usage Examples

HTTP Transport

# Start GABS with HTTP transport
gabs serve --http :8080

# Make MCP requests
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'

# Subscribe to notifications via SSE
curl -N http://localhost:8080/mcp/events

Automatic Notifications

When games start/stop or tools change, AI agents automatically receive:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "notifications/tools/list_changed", 
  "params": {}
}

This completes the TODO implementation roadmap, providing GABS with production-ready reliability improvements, real-time capabilities, and comprehensive HTTP transport support.
