# Micro-Kernel Protocol Implementation Summary

**Date**: January 28, 2026
**Version**: ObjectStack v4.0.x
**Issue**: 按照新的协议规范要求,修改runtime和所有插件
**Specification**: https://protocol.objectstack.ai/docs/developers/micro-kernel

## Overview

This document summarizes the implementation of the micro-kernel protocol for ObjectStack runtime and all protocol plugins. The implementation transforms ObjectStack from a traditional plugin-based system to a modern micro-kernel architecture where all components (applications, drivers, and plugins) are loaded uniformly.

## What Changed

### 1. Runtime Package (`@objectql/runtime`)

**File**: `packages/objectstack/runtime/src/index.ts`

#### New Types

```typescript
// Driver interface for database/storage adapters
interface RuntimeDriver {
name?: string;
connect?(): Promise<void>;
disconnect?(): Promise<void>;
[key: string]: any; // Driver-specific methods
}

// Application config for metadata manifests
interface RuntimeAppConfig {
name: string;
label?: string;
description?: string;
objects?: Record<string, any>;
[key: string]: any;
}

// Union type for all loadable components
type KernelComponent = RuntimePlugin | RuntimeDriver | RuntimeAppConfig;
```

#### Updated ObjectStackKernel

**Before**:
```typescript
constructor(plugins: RuntimePlugin[] = [])
```

**After**:
```typescript
constructor(components: KernelComponent[] = [])
```

The kernel now:
- Accepts heterogeneous component arrays
- Automatically classifies components using type guards
- Initializes in 4 distinct phases
- Provides driver access via `getDriver()` and `getAllDrivers()`
- Handles errors with automatic cleanup
- Ensures graceful shutdown with resource leak prevention

#### Initialization Phases

1. **Phase 1: Load Application Manifests**
- Registers objects from app configs into metadata registry
- Builds schema structure

2. **Phase 2: Connect Drivers**
- Calls `connect()` on all drivers
- Establishes database connections

3. **Phase 3: Install Plugins**
- Calls `install(ctx)` on all plugins
- Registers hooks, actions, and services

4. **Phase 4: Start Plugins**
- Calls `onStart(ctx)` on all plugins
- Starts protocol servers and background services

### 2. Core Package (`@objectql/core`)

**File**: `packages/foundation/core/src/plugin.ts`

#### Enhanced ObjectQLPlugin

The `ObjectQLPlugin` now:
- **Auto-detects drivers** from kernel if not explicitly configured
- **Gracefully handles** missing datasources with warnings
- **Consistent driver naming**: `default`, `driver_1`, `driver_2`, etc.
- **Supports micro-kernel pattern** for seamless integration

**Example**:
```typescript
// Old way - explicit datasource config
new ObjectQLPlugin({
datasources: { default: myDriver }
})

// New way - auto-detect from kernel
new ObjectQLPlugin() // Automatically uses drivers from kernel
```

### 3. Protocol Plugins

All three protocol plugins remain unchanged and fully compatible:
- `@objectql/protocol-graphql` ✅
- `@objectql/protocol-odata-v4` ✅
- `@objectql/protocol-json-rpc` ✅

They continue to implement the `RuntimePlugin` interface and work seamlessly with the new kernel.

## Usage Examples

### Basic Single-Protocol Server

```typescript
import { ObjectStackKernel } from '@objectql/runtime';
import { MemoryDriver } from '@objectql/driver-memory';
import { GraphQLPlugin } from '@objectql/protocol-graphql';
import { ObjectQLPlugin } from '@objectql/core';

const myApp = {
name: 'my-app',
objects: {
tasks: {
name: 'tasks',
fields: {
title: { type: 'text', required: true }
}
}
}
};

const kernel = new ObjectStackKernel([
myApp, // Application config
new MemoryDriver(), // Driver
new ObjectQLPlugin(), // Core features (auto-detects driver)
new GraphQLPlugin({ port: 4000 }) // Protocol
]);

await kernel.start();
```

### Multi-Protocol Server (Production Pattern)

```typescript
import { ObjectStackKernel } from '@objectql/runtime';
import { SQLDriver } from '@objectql/driver-sql';
import { GraphQLPlugin } from '@objectql/protocol-graphql';
import { ODataV4Plugin } from '@objectql/protocol-odata-v4';
import { JSONRPCPlugin } from '@objectql/protocol-json-rpc';
import { ObjectQLPlugin } from '@objectql/core';

const kernel = new ObjectStackKernel([
// Application manifest
{
name: 'enterprise-app',
label: 'Enterprise Application',
objects: {
customers: { /* ... */ },
orders: { /* ... */ },
products: { /* ... */ }
}
},

// Database driver
new SQLDriver({
client: 'postgresql',
connection: {
host: process.env.DB_HOST,
database: process.env.DB_NAME,
user: process.env.DB_USER,
password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD
}
}),

// Core features
new ObjectQLPlugin(),

// Multiple protocol adapters
new GraphQLPlugin({ port: 4000 }),
new ODataV4Plugin({ port: 8080 }),
new JSONRPCPlugin({ port: 9000 })
]);

// Start with error handling
try {
await kernel.start();
console.log('Server started successfully');
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to start server:', error);
process.exit(1);
}

// Graceful shutdown
process.on('SIGINT', async () => {
await kernel.stop();
process.exit(0);
});
```

## Testing Results

### Build Verification
- ✅ `@objectql/runtime` builds successfully
- ✅ `@objectql/core` builds successfully
- ✅ `@objectql/protocol-graphql` builds successfully
- ✅ `@objectql/protocol-odata-v4` builds successfully
- ✅ `@objectql/protocol-json-rpc` builds successfully

### Test Execution
- ✅ GraphQL plugin: 12/12 tests passing
- ✅ Multi-protocol server: All 3 protocols functional
- ✅ Endpoint verification:
- OData V4: http://localhost:8080/odata (returning service document)
- JSON-RPC: http://localhost:9000/rpc (executing methods)
- GraphQL: http://localhost:4000/ (executing queries)

### Security Verification
- ✅ CodeQL security scan: 0 alerts found
- ✅ No new vulnerabilities introduced
- ✅ Proper error handling prevents resource leaks
- ✅ Input validation maintained

## Migration Guide

### For Application Developers

**Before (ObjectQL 3.x)**:
```typescript
const app = new ObjectQL({
datasources: { default: new MemoryDriver() }
});
app.metadata.loadDirectory('./metadata');
await app.init();
```

**After (ObjectStack 4.x)**:
```typescript
import { ObjectStackKernel } from '@objectql/runtime';
import appConfig from './objectstack.config';

const kernel = new ObjectStackKernel([
appConfig,
new MemoryDriver(),
new ObjectQLPlugin()
]);
await kernel.start();
```

### For Plugin Developers

Plugin interface remains unchanged - all existing plugins work without modification. Plugins can now access drivers via the kernel:

```typescript
async install(ctx: RuntimeContext): Promise<void> {
// Access drivers from kernel
const driver = ctx.engine.getDriver('default');

// Or get all drivers
const allDrivers = ctx.engine.getAllDrivers();
}
```

## Key Benefits

1. **Unified Component Model**: All components (apps, drivers, plugins) loaded the same way
2. **Better Developer Experience**: More declarative, less boilerplate
3. **Improved Error Handling**: Automatic cleanup on failure
4. **Resource Safety**: Graceful shutdown prevents leaks
5. **Flexibility**: Components can be specified in any order
6. **Auto-Discovery**: ObjectQLPlugin automatically finds drivers
7. **Production Ready**: Robust error handling and logging
8. **Backward Compatible**: All existing code continues to work

## Breaking Changes

**None** - This implementation maintains full backward compatibility. Existing code using the old pattern continues to work:

```typescript
// Still works (backward compatible)
const kernel = new ObjectStackKernel([
new GraphQLPlugin({ port: 4000 })
]);

kernel.metadata.register('object', {
id: 'users',
content: { /* ... */ }
});
```

## Future Enhancements

Potential improvements for future releases:

1. **Logging Abstraction**: Replace console.log with configurable logger
2. **Dependency Injection**: Allow plugins to declare dependencies
3. **Hot Reload**: Support dynamic plugin loading/unloading
4. **Health Checks**: Built-in health check endpoints
5. **Metrics**: Performance monitoring and telemetry

## Conclusion

This implementation successfully brings ObjectStack runtime and all protocol plugins into compliance with the new micro-kernel protocol specification. The changes provide a more flexible, robust, and developer-friendly architecture while maintaining full backward compatibility with existing code.

The micro-kernel pattern aligns with ObjectStack's vision as a "Standard Protocol for AI Software Generation" by making the system more composable, declarative, and metadata-driven.
