# 🧬 DSS Organism Framework: Code Integration Guide

**How to integrate component vocabulary into DSS code, messages, and logging.**

---

## Overview

The component framework has been **integrated into critical DSS code files**. This guide shows:
1. ✅ Files already updated
2. 📋 Files that should be updated next
3. 🔧 How to apply the framework to code
4. 📝 Examples and templates

---

## Part 1: Files Already Updated ✅

### **1. JavaScript Error Handler** ✅ COMPLETE
**File:** `/admin-ui/js/core/error-handler.js`

**What was changed:**
- Module header updated with component context
- All error messages reframed using biological metaphors
- Error titles now include emoji indicators (🛡️, ❤️, 🧠, ⚡, 🔌, etc.)
- Error categories mapped to organ systems:
  - Figma API → Sensory System issues
  - Network → Heart/Nervous System issues  
  - Timeout → Metabolism overload
  - Validation → Immune/Genetic system issues

**Example transformation:**

**Before:**
```javascript
figma_403: {
  title: 'Cannot access Figma file',
  message: 'Your Figma access token doesn\'t have permission to access this file.',
  actions: [
    'Check if your Figma token is valid in Settings',
    // ...
  ],
}
```

**After:**
```javascript
figma_403: {
  title: '🛡️ IMMUNE ALERT: Sensory Input Blocked',
  message: 'The DSS sensory organs cannot perceive the Figma file. Your access credentials lack permission.',
  actions: [
    'Verify your Figma authentication token in Settings (nervous system communication)',
    'Confirm you have access to this file in Figma (sensory perception)',
    // ...
  ],
}
```

**Benefits:**
✅ Users understand errors as "immune system detecting threats"
✅ Emojis make error types visually distinct
✅ Action items include biological context in parentheses
✅ Creates cohesive communication style

---

### **2. Python Validators** ✅ COMPLETE  
**File:** `/dss-mvp1/dss/validators/schema.py`

**What was changed:**
- Module docstring refactored with component context
- Validation stages renamed with biological metaphors:
  - Stage 1: 🛡️ Genetic Structure Check
  - Stage 2: 🧬 DNA Completeness Check
  - Stage 3: 🩸 Nutrient Quality Check
  - Stage 4: 🧬 Tissue Integrity Check
- Method docstrings explain validation as immune system antibodies
- Error messages use biological language

**Example transformation:**

**Before:**
```python
def _validate_structure(self, data, result):
    """Stage 2: Validate required fields and structure"""
    for field in required_fields:
        if field not in data:
            result.add_error(
                ValidationStage.STRUCTURE,
                f"Missing required field: {field}",
                field
            )
```

**After:**
```python
def _validate_structure(self, data, result):
    """
    Stage 2: 🧬 DNA COMPLETENESS CHECK
    
    The immune system checks if the genetic blueprint has all
    essential chromosomes. Missing genes prevent component development.
    """
    for field in required_fields:
        if field not in data:
            result.add_error(
                ValidationStage.STRUCTURE,
                f"🧬 Missing essential gene: {field} (required chromosome incomplete)",
                field
            )
```

**Benefits:**
✅ Developers understand validation as "immune system protecting health"
✅ Code comments align with component framework
✅ Error messages are more memorable
✅ Creates teaching opportunity for new developers

**What to change:** Token ingestion descriptions and progress messages
**Suggested changes:**

```python
# BEFORE
def ingest_tokens(self, tokens):
    """Ingest and normalize tokens"""
    
# AFTER - Use component metaphors
def ingest_tokens(self, tokens):
    """
    Feed the component - ingest tokens as nutrients
    
    The digestive system breaks down design input and extracts nutrients
    (design tokens) that the component can use for circulation.
    """
```

---

### **MEDIUM PRIORITY - System Documentation**

#### **File: `/dss-mvp1/dss/tools/style_dictionary.py`**
**Status:** Ready for update
**Content type:** Transformation tool documentation
**Why important:** This is the metabolic system that converts tokens

Suggested framing:
- Tool description: "The metabolic engine - converts nutrients to usable forms"
- Process description: "Metabolism of tokens to CSS, JSON, SCSS outputs"
- Output files: "Byproducts of healthy metabolism"

---

#### **File: `/dss-mvp1/dss/storybook/generator.py`**
**Status:** Ready for update
**Content type:** Documentation generation
**Why important:** Storybook is the "skin" of the component

Suggested framing:
- Generator purpose: "Refresh the skin - generate Storybook documentation"
- Story creation: "Organism educating the external world through documentation"
- Component showcase: "Display how tissues (components) work together"

---

### **LOW PRIORITY - Core Documentation**

#### **Files that should reference the framework:**
1. `/dss-mvp1/README.md` - Introduce component metaphor in MVP1 overview
2. `/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` - Map architecture to component systems  
3. `/docs/QUICKSTART.md` - Use biological language for getting started
4. `/ERROR_HANDLING.md` - Frame error handling as immune system

---

## Part 3: How to Apply the Framework

### **Pattern 1: Docstrings & Comments**

When documenting code, use this pattern:

```python
def some_function(self, data):
    """
    [Emoji] ORGANISM CONTEXT - Actual function name
    
    Biological explanation of what this does in the context of the DSS
    component. Mention which organ system or process is involved.
    
    Args:
        data: Describe what data represents biologically
        
    Returns:
        Describe what is returned in biological terms
    """
```

---

### **Pattern 2: Error Messages**

When creating error messages, follow this structure:

```
[Emoji] SYSTEM ALERT: [Brief biological description]

[Technical problem in biological language]

What to do:
1. [Action 1 with biological context in parentheses]
2. [Action 2 with biological context in parentheses]
```

**Example:**

```python
raise ValidationError(
    "🛡️ IMMUNE ALERT: Pathogenic Token Detected\n"
    "Token value contains invalid characters that could infect the component.\n"
    "What to do:\n"
    "1. Remove invalid characters from the token value (clean the nutrient)\n"
    "2. Verify the token matches our genetic patterns (naming conventions)\n"
    "3. Try ingesting the token again (feed the DSS)"
)
```

---

### **Pattern 3: Logging & Progress Messages**

For progress tracking and logging, map to component processes:

```python
logger.info("🍽️ Digestive system beginning token extraction...")
logger.debug("🧠 Brain analyzing token patterns...")
logger.warning("⚠️ Organism experiencing metabolic stress - slow processing")
logger.error("❌ Critical immune failure - infection detected and isolated")
```

---

### **Pattern 4: Configuration & Help Text**

For CLI commands and settings descriptions:

```python
@click.command()
@click.option('--feed', is_flag=True, help='Feed the DSS with new tokens from Figma')
@click.option('--health', is_flag=True, help='Check the component vital signs')
def dss_cli(feed, health):
    """DSS Organism Control Panel - Feed, monitor, and maintain the system"""
    if feed:
        print("🍽️ Opening intake valve...")
    if health:
        print("🏥 Running vital signs diagnostic...")
```

---

---

## Part 5: Code Review Guidelines

When reviewing DSS code, check for component framework compliance:

### **✅ Good Patterns**
```python
# Docstring uses biological metaphor
"""
🛡️ IMMUNE SYSTEM - Validate incoming tokens
Check if tokens are safe for circulation through the component.
"""

# Error message includes emoji and biological context
raise ValidationError("🛡️ Pathogen detected: Invalid token format")

# Comments explain component role
# The heart (database) stores this nutrient for circulation
db.store_token(token)
```

### **❌ Patterns to Update**
```python
# Generic docstring without component context
"""Validate tokens"""

# Technical error message
raise ValidationError("Invalid token: expected string, got dict")

# Comments without biological meaning
# This stores the token
db.store_token(token)
```

---

## Part 6: File Organization

As you update files, organize documentation like this:

```
dss-mvp1/
├── README.md
│   └── Add: "The DSS Organism" section with framework link

## Part 7: Examples by File Type

### **Python Dataclass/Pydantic Model**
```python
from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class Token:
    """🩸 NUTRIENT - A design token flowing through the circulatory system"""
    name: str  # Genetic identifier
    value: str  # Nutrient value (color, spacing, etc.)
    category: str  # Blood type (color, spacing, shadow, etc.)
```

---

### **JavaScript Promise/Async Function**
```javascript
/**
 * 🧬 ORGANISM PERCEPTION - Check if the sensory organs can connect to Figma
 * 
 * @async
 * @returns {Promise<boolean>} True if sensory connection established
 */
async function checkSensoryConnection() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.figma.com/health');
    return response.ok; // Sensory organs are alive
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('🛡️ IMMUNE ALERT: Sensory disconnection detected');
    return false;
  }
}
```

---

### **REST API Endpoint**
```python
@app.get("/health")
async def health_check():
    """
    ❤️ HEART VITALS - Check if the component is alive
    
    Returns the DSS component's vital signs.
    """
    return {
        "status": "healthy",
        "heart_rate": get_db_latency(),  # Database query speed
        "brain_activity": get_validator_status(),  # Analysis running
        "circulation": get_token_distribution(),  # Token usage
    }
```

---

## Part 8: Common Questions

**Q: Do I HAVE to use component language?**
A: Not strictly required, but recommended for user-facing messages (errors, logs, docs). Internal implementation details can stay technical.

**Q: What if the metaphor doesn't fit?**
A: Use both biological and technical language. The framework is a communication tool, not a cage.

**Q: How do I remember the 11 organs?**
A: Reference `QUICK_START_ORGANISM.md`. The organ system table shows all 11 with their functions.

**Q: Can I create new biological metaphors?**
A: Yes! But keep them consistent and document them in the glossary if they're new.

---

## Part 9: Next Steps

1. **Complete Phase 2A** - Finish error/validation updates (in progress)
2. **Move to Phase 2B** - Update system messages in ingest, Figma, storybook
3. **Phase 2C** - Update documentation and READMEs
4. **Train team** - Share the framework, establish guidelines
5. **Continuous improvement** - Apply to new code as it's written
