Workflow Examples

Example 1: Feature Development

# 1. Create feature branch
git checkout -b feature/stereo-panning

# 2. Implement feature
# ... make changes ...

# 3. Commit with conventional format
git add .
git commit -m "feat(audio): add stereo panning control

Implement stereo panning with the following:
- Linear pan law
- Constant power option
- LFO modulation support

Closes #123"

# 4. Validate before push
cd 05_17_02_commit_conventions
python commit_validator.py validate

# 5. Run integration tests
cd ../05_17_10_integration_testing
python test_runner.py

# 6. Push and create PR
git push origin feature/stereo-panning

Example 2: Major Version Release

# 1. Validate system ready for release
cd 05_17_11_system_integration
python validate.py

# 2. Check version compatibility
cd ../05_17_08_compatibility_matrix
python compatibility_checker.py check --all

# 3. Run full integration test suite
cd ../05_17_10_integration_testing
python test_runner.py

# 4. Execute release workflow (dry-run first)
cd ../05_17_11_system_integration
python orchestrator.py workflow --workflow complete_release --dry-run

# 5. Execute actual release
python orchestrator.py workflow --workflow complete_release

# 6. Verify release

# 2. Validate pre-migration state
cd ../05_17_09_migration_tools
python migrator.py validate

# 3. Run dry-run migration
python migrator.py migrate --from 1.9.0 --to 2.0.0 --dry-run

# 4. Review migration plan
cat migration_plan.txt

# 5. Execute migration
python migrator.py migrate --from 1.9.0 --to 2.0.0

# 6. Run integration tests

Best Practices

Documentation Maintenance

  1. Keep documentation updated with code changes
  2. Use examples liberally in documentation
  3. Cross-reference related subsystems
  4. Version documentation alongside code
  5. Include troubleshooting for common issues

Code Documentation

  1. Docstrings for all public functions
  2. Inline comments for complex logic
  3. README in every subsystem directory
  4. Configuration comments in YAML files
  5. Example usage in tool scripts

Workflow Documentation

  1. Step-by-step instructions with commands
  2. Expected outputs for each step
  3. Error handling procedures
  4. Rollback instructions if needed
  5. Verification steps to confirm success

Troubleshooting Guide

Common Issues

Issue: Python dependency missing 

# Solution
pip install pyyaml gitpython

Issue: Git not configured 

# Solution
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"

Issue: Subsystem not found 

# Solution
cd 05_17_11_system_integration
python validate.py  # Shows which subsystems are missing

Issue: YAML syntax error 

# Solution
python -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('config.yaml'))"
# Will show specific syntax error

Issue: Integration test failing 

# Solution
cd 05_17_10_integration_testing
python test_runner.py --verbose  # Shows detailed error
