## ⚠️ SDK Wrapper Limitation

### The Challenge
The native GeViScope SDK (C++) **has** the action mapping state queries documented:
- `CSQGetActionMappingTable`
- `CSQSetActionMappingTable`
- `CSAActionMappingTable`

However, the .NET SDK wrapper (`GEUTEBRUECK.GeViSoftSDKNET.ActionsWrapper`) **does not expose** these classes yet.

### Our Solution
We implemented **placeholder methods** that:
1. Follow the correct SDK pattern
2. Throw `NotImplementedException` with helpful error messages
3. Include TODO comments showing exactly what needs to be done
4. Provide graceful fallback to alarm query workaround

**Example**:
```csharp
private GeViMessage CreateActionMappingTableQuery()
{
    // TODO: Once SDK wrapper exposes the action mapping state query classes, use:
    // return new GeViSQ_GetActionMappingTable();

    throw new NotImplementedException(
        "The SDK wrapper does not yet expose GeViSQ_GetActionMappingTable. " +
        "This needs to be added to the GEUTEBRUECK.GeViSoftSDKNET.ActionsWrapper.StateQueries namespace.");
}
```

## 📋 What's Next

### Option 1: Contact Geutebruck Support (Recommended)
**Best for production readiness**

1. Email Geutebruck support requesting .NET wrapper update
2. Provide them with:
   - `gevisoft-sdk-reference.md` (shows what we need)
   - Native SDK class names (CSQGetActionMappingTable, etc.)
   - Our implementation (shows we're ready to use it)

### Option 2: Build C++/CLI Wrapper
**Best for immediate progress**

Create a thin C++/CLI wrapper that:
1. References native GeViScope SDK DLLs directly
2. Wraps only the action mapping state queries
3. Exposes to .NET via C++/CLI interop

### Option 3: Continue with Workaround
**Best for MVP/demo**

1. Use alarm query workaround (already working)
2. Document limitation in API responses
3. Upgrade to full state queries when SDK available

---

## 🧪 Testing Plan

### Unit Tests (When SDK Available)
```csharp
[Fact]
public async Task GetActionMappingTable_ReturnsValidData()
{
    var stateQueryHandler = new StateQueryHandler(dbWrapper, logger);
    var result = await stateQueryHandler.GetActionMappingTableAsync();

    Assert.NotNull(result);
    Assert.NotNull(result.Mappings);
}

[Fact]
public async Task SaveActionMappings_WritesToGeViServer()
{
    var mappings = new List<ActionMappingConfig> { /* test data */ };
    bool success = await actionMappingHandler.SaveActionMappingsAsync(mappings);

    Assert.True(success);
}
```

### Integration Test (With Live GeViServer)
1. Connect to GeViServer
2. Read current action mappings
3. Modify one mapping
4. Save back to GeViServer
5. Read again and verify changes persisted

## 🔍 Code Quality

### Strengths
- ✅ Follows existing codebase patterns
- ✅ Comprehensive error handling
- ✅ Detailed logging at all levels
- ✅ Graceful degradation (falls back to workaround)
- ✅ Clear separation of concerns
- ✅ Well-documented with inline comments
- ✅ Thread-safe cache management

### Areas for Improvement
- ⚠️ Needs actual SDK wrapper classes (external dependency)
- ⏭️ Needs unit test coverage
- ⏭️ Needs integration testing with live GeViServer

## 💡 Key Technical Decisions

### 1. State Query Approach
**Decision**: Use GeViServer state queries for action mappings
**Rationale**: This is the documented, official SDK method (see SDK docs page 414)
**Alternative Rejected**: Continue with alarm query workaround (not sustainable)

### 2. Cache vs. Source of Truth
**Decision**: GeViServer is source of truth, local cache for statistics only
**Rationale**: Ensures consistency, allows multiple clients
**Alternative Rejected**: In-memory storage (Phase 1 approach)

### 3. Backward Compatibility
**Decision**: Maintain alarm query fallback until SDK wrapper available
**Rationale**: Ensures existing functionality works
**Alternative Rejected**: Breaking change requiring SDK immediately

### 4. Error Handling
**Decision**: NotSupportedException with helpful messages
**Rationale**: Clear communication about SDK limitation
**Alternative Rejected**: Silent failure or generic exception

## 📊 Metrics

### Lines of Code
- **StateQueryHandler.cs**: +169 lines (new methods + models)
- **ActionMappingHandler.cs**: ~80 lines changed (refactored to use state queries)
- **Documentation**: +1,200 lines (comprehensive guides)

### Test Coverage
- **Current**: 0% (no tests written yet)
- **Target**: 80% for action mapping code

### Performance
- **Expected**: <200ms for read operations (cached)
- **Expected**: <500ms for write operations (state query to GeViServer)

## 🎓 Lessons Learned

### What Worked Well
1. **Documentation-first approach**: Extracting SDK docs before coding saved time
2. **Placeholder pattern**: Allows code structure to be ready while waiting for SDK
3. **Graceful degradation**: Maintains functionality with fallback approach

### Challenges
1. **SDK wrapper limitations**: .NET wrapper doesn't expose all native SDK features
2. **Documentation format**: CHM files required extraction to be searchable

### Best Practices Applied
1. Followed existing code patterns (EnumerateCameras/EnumerateMonitors)
2. Comprehensive logging for troubleshooting
3. Clear error messages for developers
4. Maintained backward compatibility

   - Write unit tests for conversion methods
   - Update DiagnoseActionMapping tool

3. **Medium-term** (When SDK available):
   - Implement actual SDK state query calls
   - Run integration tests with live GeViServer
   - Complete gRPC service implementation

4. **Long-term** (Production):
