RACEMES Template Refactoring - Piano Architetturale Dettagliato

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Obiettivo

Migrazione della struttura templates dal layout monolitico attuale a un'architettura feature-first allineata con il backend già refactorizzato, ottimizzando maintainability, scalabilità e developer experience.

Scope

• 55 template files identificati
• 10 features principali mappate
• Allineamento con struttura backend /features/
• Zero downtime migration strategy
• Performance optimization (target: riduzione 30-50% bundle size)

Success Metrics

• Migrazione completata senza interruzioni di servizio
• Riduzione del 40% del tempo di development per nuove features
• Miglioramento del 30% nelle performance di rendering
• 100% backward compatibility durante la transizione

3.2 Template Loader Configuration

# Flask template loader configuration
app.jinja_loader = ChoiceLoader([
    FileSystemLoader('templates/shared'),      # Highest priority
    FileSystemLoader('templates/features'),    # Feature templates
    FileSystemLoader('templates/public'),      # Public templates
    FileSystemLoader('templates')              # Fallback during migration
])

4. MIGRATION STRATEGY

4.1 Migration Phases Overview

4.2 Phase 1: Foundation & Low Risk (Days 1-2)

Obiettivo: Stabilire base architetturale e migrare template a basso rischio

Templates da migrare:

SHARED COMPONENTS:
- 404.html → shared/errors/404.html
- 500.html → shared/errors/500.html
- base.html → shared/base.html (con modularizzazione)

LOW RISK FEATURES:
- documentation/* → features/documentation/*
- public/* → public/*
- cognition/* → features/ai/cognition/*

Tasks: 1. Create shared template structure 2. Modularize base.html into components 3. Migrate documentation templates 4. Migrate public templates 5. Update route references 6. Test basic navigation and error handling

Route Updates Required:

# Before
render_template('404.html')
render_template('documentation/api.html')

# After
render_template('shared/errors/404.html')
render_template('features/documentation/api.html')

4.3 Phase 2: Medium Risk Features (Days 3-5)

Obiettivo: Migrare features con dipendenze moderate

Templates da migrare:

- auth/* → features/auth/*
- admin/* → features/admin/*
- configuration/* → features/configuration/*
- monitoring.html → features/monitoring/index.html
- assets.html → features/assets/index.html
- ai_providers.html → features/ai/providers.html

Critical Dependencies: - Authentication flow templates - Admin interface components - Configuration management UI

Tasks: 1. Migrate auth templates with session handling 2. Migrate admin templates with RBAC components 3. Update configuration template references 4. Test authentication flows 5. Validate admin functionalities

4.4 Phase 3: High Risk Features (Days 6-9)

Obiettivo: Migrare template critici business-logic intensive

Templates da migrare:

HIGH COMPLEXITY:
- index.html → features/dashboard/index.html
- rules*.html → features/rules/*
- action_*.html → features/actions/*
- event-*.html → features/events/*
- form_builder/* → features/form_builder/*

Risk Mitigation: - Blue-green deployment per template - Feature flags for progressive rollout - Comprehensive A/B testing - Real-time monitoring

Tasks: 1. Migrate dashboard with all widgets 2. Migrate rules engine templates 3. Migrate action builder (already partially modernized) 4. Migrate event management templates 5. Update form builder integration 6. Extensive integration testing

4.5 Phase 4: Cleanup & Optimization (Days 10-11)

Obiettivo: Finalizzazione e ottimizzazione

Tasks: 1. Remove legacy template paths 2. Update all route references 3. Optimize template inheritance 4. Performance testing and optimization 5. Documentation update 6. Team training on new structure

5. ROUTE MAPPING UPDATES

            return super().get_source(environment, template)
        except TemplateNotFound as e:
            # Log migration needed
            self.migration_log.append(template)
            # Try legacy path
            legacy_path = self._resolve_legacy_path(template)
            if legacy_path:
                return super().get_source(environment, legacy_path)
            raise e

6.2.2 Progressive Migration with Feature Flags

            return render_template(new_path, **context)
        return render_template(template_name, **context)

6.2.3 Automated Testing Framework

# Template migration testing suite
class TemplateMigrationTester:

8.2 Emergency Rollback Procedures

#!/bin/bash
# emergency_rollback.sh

echo "Starting emergency rollback procedure..."

# 1. Switch to backup template loader
export TEMPLATE_MIGRATION_ENABLED=false

# 2. Restart application with legacy configuration
sudo systemctl restart racemes-app

# 3. Verify application health
curl -f http://localhost:5000/health || exit 1

# 4. Notify team
echo "Emergency rollback completed successfully"

8.3 Rollback Testing

class RollbackTests(unittest.TestCase):

11. MONITORING & MAINTENANCE

11.1 Template Health Monitoring

class TemplateHealthMonitor:
    def __init__(self, app):
        self.app = app
        self.metrics = {
            'render_times': {},
            'error_rates': {},
            'cache_hit_rates': {}
        }

    def track_template_render(self, template_name, render_time):
        """Track template rendering performance"""
        if template_name not in self.metrics['render_times']:
            self.metrics['render_times'][template_name] = []

        self.metrics['render_times'][template_name].append(render_time)

        # Alert if render time exceeds threshold
        avg_time = sum(self.metrics['render_times'][template_name]) / len(self.metrics['render_times'][template_name])
        if avg_time > 0.5:  # 500ms threshold
            self.alert_slow_template(template_name, avg_time)

11.2 Maintenance Procedures

# Automated template maintenance
class TemplateMaintenance:
    def __init__(self, app):
        self.app = app

    def check_template_integrity(self):
        """Check for broken template inheritance"""
        broken_templates = []
        for template in self.get_all_templates():
            try:
                self.app.jinja_env.get_template(template)
            except Exception as e:
                broken_templates.append((template, str(e)))
        return broken_templates

    def optimize_template_cache(self):
        """Optimize template cache based on usage patterns"""
        # Analyze template usage patterns
        # Adjust cache TTL based on usage frequency
        pass

    def generate_usage_report(self):
        """Generate template usage analytics"""
        return {
            'most_used_templates': self.get_most_used_templates(),
            'least_used_templates': self.get_least_used_templates(),
            'performance_metrics': self.get_performance_metrics()
        }
