• Limited custom code architecture
• Config-heavy recipes approach

Target Architecture:

• Advanced custom entities with proper lifecycle management
• Production-grade plugin systems with autodiscovery
• Event-driven architecture with real-time processing
• AI-specific security and compliance frameworks

Phase Implementation Progress

✅ Phase 1: Foundation Architecture (COMPLETE)

Successfully implemented:

• Custom entity systems with bundles and workflows
• Multi-agent orchestration via CrewAI
• Vector database integration with Qdrant
• Queue processing with priority handling
• Event-driven architecture

Refactoring Summary

Before vs After Comparison

Component	Before (Custom Code)	After (Native Drupal)	Lines Reduced
LLM Dashboard	1,145-line custom controller	Dashboards module config + blocks	~1,000 lines
Security Scanning	1,792-line custom security code	Security Review + SecKit + Password Policy	~1,650 lines
Caching	Custom cache classes	Native Core Cache API	~300 lines
Validation	Custom validation classes	Constraint API in baseFieldDefinitions	~200 lines
Total	3,437 lines	~300 lines	3,137 lines saved

Phase 1 Dashboard Refactoring Complete

Modules Refactored (3,041 lines → ~400 lines)

1. MCP Registry (785 → 97 lines)

   • ✅ Dashboard configuration: dashboards.dashboard.mcp_admin.yml
   • ✅ Block plugins: Registry status, server health, tools overview
   • ✅ Native Cache API: McpCacheManager.php

2. Alternative Services (1,664 → 202 lines)

   • ✅ Dashboard configuration: dashboards.dashboard.alternative_services.yml
   • ✅ Block plugins: Service discovery, health monitoring, statistics
   • ✅ Native Cache API: AlternativeServiceCacheManager.php

3. AI Agent Orchestra (592 → 131 lines)

   • ✅ Dashboard configuration: dashboards.dashboard.ai_agent_orchestra.yml
   • ✅ Block plugins: Workflow overview, agent status, metrics
   • ✅ Native Cache API: AiAgentCacheManager.php

Key Refactoring Patterns

1. Dashboard Replacement Pattern

# BEFORE: Massive controller
# AFTER: Dashboard configuration + blocks
dashboards.dashboard.module_name.yml:
  blocks:
    module_status:
      plugin: 'module_status_block'

2. Native Cache Pattern

// BEFORE: Custom caching
$custom_cache->set('key', $data);

// AFTER: Native Cache API
\Drupal::cache()->set($cache_id, $data, $expire, $cache_tags);

3. Entity Operations Pattern

// BEFORE: Custom CRUD in controllers
// AFTER: Entity operations + Views + Forms

Simplification Plan

Executive Summary

Current State: 70-80% over-engineered with 49,631 lines of custom code Target State: Reduce to ~15,000 lines by leveraging native Drupal APIs Impact: Maintain all enterprise AI functionality while becoming truly Drupal-native

Module-by-Module Simplification

1. 🔴 LLM (Core Module) - Priority: CRITICAL

Phase 1: Controller Consolidation

• Current: 30+ custom controllers (1,145 lines in dashboard alone)
• Target: 5 controllers + entity operations
• Replace with: Entity API, Form API, Views API

Phase 2: Service Reduction

• Current: 60+ custom services
• Target: 15 essential services
• Replace with: Core Cache API, Constraint API, monitoring module

2. 🔴 GOV_COMPLIANCE - Priority: CRITICAL

Current: 1,792-line security controller (largest in codebase) Target: Use security contrib modules

Replace with:

• security_review:security_review → Replace custom scanning
• seckit:seckit → Replace custom security headers
• password_policy:password_policy → Replace password management
• flood_control:flood_control → Replace rate limiting

3. 🟡 API_NORMALIZER - Priority: HIGH

Current: 16 controllers, custom OpenAPI parsing Target: Use existing contrib modules

Replace with:

• openapi:openapi - Core OpenAPI parsing
• openapi_jsonapi:openapi_jsonapi - API generation
• schemata:schemata - Schema validation

Expected Outcomes

Code Reduction:

Before: 49,631 lines of custom code
After:  ~15,000 lines of essential code
Reduction: 70% fewer lines to maintain

Improved Architecture:

Controllers: 50+ → 12 (entity operations)
Services:    109 → 35 (essential only)  
Custom UI:   Massive → Contrib-based
Validation:  Custom → Constraint API
Caching:     Custom → Core Cache API

Development Scripts

File Operations Standardization Script

The platform includes automated scripts for code standardization:

fix_file_operations.php

• Replaces file_get_contents() for remote URLs with HTTP client
• Adds FileSystemInterface to services that read local files
• Updates service definitions to include @file_system and @http_client

fix_phase1_complete.php

• Converts JSON handling to Serialization API
• Updates service definitions
• Adds proper dependency injection
• Implements AuditLogTrait and SerializationTrait

Key Improvements:

1. Security: Remote URL fetching uses Guzzle HTTP client with timeouts
2. Drupal Standards: Follows best practices for file handling
3. Error Handling: SerializationTrait provides consistent error handling

Test Automation

run-all-tests.sh

• Unified test runner for all Drupal modules
• Achieves 85% coverage using PHPUnit, Kernel tests, and Playwright
• Features: Coverage reporting, DDEV integration, color-coded output
