Administrator 14893e62a5 feat: Geutebruck GeViScope/GeViSoft Action Mapping System - MVP
This MVP release provides a complete full-stack solution for managing action mappings
in Geutebruck's GeViScope and GeViSoft video surveillance systems.

## Features

### Flutter Web Application (Port 8081)
- Modern, responsive UI for managing action mappings
- Action picker dialog with full parameter configuration
- Support for both GSC (GeViScope) and G-Core server actions
- Consistent UI for input and output actions with edit/delete capabilities
- Real-time action mapping creation, editing, and deletion
- Server categorization (GSC: prefix for GeViScope, G-Core: prefix for G-Core servers)

### FastAPI REST Backend (Port 8000)
- RESTful API for action mapping CRUD operations
- Action template service with comprehensive action catalog (247 actions)
- Server management (G-Core and GeViScope servers)
- Configuration tree reading and writing
- JWT authentication with role-based access control
- PostgreSQL database integration

### C# SDK Bridge (gRPC, Port 50051)
- Native integration with GeViSoft SDK (GeViProcAPINET_4_0.dll)
- Action mapping creation with correct binary format
- Support for GSC and G-Core action types
- Proper Camera parameter inclusion in action strings (fixes CrossSwitch bug)
- Action ID lookup table with server-specific action IDs
- Configuration reading/writing via SetupClient

## Bug Fixes
- **CrossSwitch Bug**: GSC and G-Core actions now correctly display camera/PTZ head parameters in GeViSet
- Action strings now include Camera parameter: `@ PanLeft (Comment: "", Camera: 101028)`
- Proper filter flags and VideoInput=0 for action mappings
- Correct action ID assignment (4198 for GSC, 9294 for G-Core PanLeft)

## Technical Stack
- **Frontend**: Flutter Web, Dart, Dio HTTP client
- **Backend**: Python FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis
- **SDK Bridge**: C# .NET 8.0, gRPC, GeViSoft SDK
- **Authentication**: JWT tokens
- **Configuration**: GeViSoft .set files (binary format)

## Credentials
- GeViSoft/GeViScope: username=sysadmin, password=masterkey
- Default admin: username=admin, password=admin123

## Deployment
All services run on localhost:
- Flutter Web: http://localhost:8081
- FastAPI: http://localhost:8000
- SDK Bridge gRPC: localhost:50051
- GeViServer: localhost (default port)

## ⚠️ 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

1. `src\sdk-bridge\GeViScopeBridge\SDK\StateQueryHandler.cs` (169 lines added)
2. `src\sdk-bridge\GeViScopeBridge\SDK\ActionMappingHandler.cs` (major refactor)
### Documentation ✅

## 🔍 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
