projects.py DOX

Purpose

• Own the projects.py API endpoint.
• This module manages project create, update, delete, clone, and metadata flows.
• Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with projects.py because this directory is intentionally flat.

Ownership

• projects.py owns the runtime implementation.
• projects.py.dox.md owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation.
• Classes:
• Projects (ApiHandler)
  • async process(self, input: Input, request: Request) -> Output
  • get_active_projects_list(self)
  • get_active_projects_options(self)
  • create_project(self, project: dict | None)
  • clone_project(self, project: dict | None)
  • load_project(self, name: str | None)
  • update_project(self, project: dict | None)
  • delete_project(self, name: str | None)

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.
• Projects is an ApiHandler.
• Projects defines process(...).
• Observed side-effect areas: filesystem deletion, settings/state persistence.
• Imported dependency areas include: helpers, helpers.api, helpers.notification.

Key Concepts

• Important called helpers/classes observed in the source: projects.get_active_projects_list, projects.BasicProjectData, projects.create_project, projects.load_edit_project_data, NotificationManager.send_notification, projects.EditProjectData, projects.update_project, projects.delete_project, projects.activate_project, projects.deactivate_project, projects.load_basic_project_data, projects.get_file_structure, self.use_context, Exception, projects.clone_git_project, self.get_active_projects_list, self.get_active_projects_options, self.load_project, self.create_project, self.clone_project.
• 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.
• Related tests observed by source search:
  • tests/test_model_config_project_presets.py
  • tests/test_office_document_store.py
  • tests/test_plugin_activation_ui.py
  • tests/test_projects.py
  • tests/test_skills_runtime.py
  • tests/test_task_scheduler_timezone.py
  • tests/test_time_travel.py
  • tests/test_tool_action_contracts.py
