get_work_dir_files.py DOX

Purpose

• Own the get_work_dir_files.py API endpoint.
• This module handles workdir file operations for get work dir files.
• Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with get_work_dir_files.py because this directory is intentionally flat.

Ownership

• get_work_dir_files.py owns the runtime implementation.
• get_work_dir_files.py.dox.md owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation.
• Classes:
• GetWorkDirFiles (ApiHandler)
  • get_methods(cls)
  • async process(self, input: dict, request: Request) -> dict | Response
• Top-level functions:
• async get_files(path)

Runtime Contracts

• HTTP handlers must derive from helpers.api.ApiHandler; WebSocket handlers must derive from helpers.ws.WsHandler.
• Update this file whenever request payloads, authentication or CSRF requirements, response shapes, route side effects, or WebSocket event contracts change.
• GetWorkDirFiles is an ApiHandler.
• GetWorkDirFiles defines process(...).
• GetWorkDirFiles defines get_methods(...).
• Imported dependency areas include: helpers, helpers.api, helpers.file_browser.

Key Concepts

• Important called helpers/classes observed in the source: FileBrowser, browser.get_files, runtime.call_development_function.
• Empty path requests and explicit $WORK_DIR requests resolve to the default workdir path before FileBrowser is called, so the WebUI never receives an empty startup path for the default file browser view.
• Keep request/response, tool, or helper semantics documented here at the same time as source changes.

Work Guidance

• Preserve authentication, CSRF, loopback, and API-key checks unless the endpoint contract explicitly changes.
• Update frontend callers, plugin callers, and tests together when payload shape changes.
• Use helpers.api.Response for non-JSON responses, files, redirects, or status-specific replies.

Verification

• Run endpoint-specific or API/WebSocket tests for changed behavior; smoke-test browser callers when no focused test exists.
• No direct test reference was found by name search; choose the nearest behavioral test or perform a focused smoke check.
