## Overview

Phase 2 successfully integrated OpenHands SDK with n8n workflows using SSH execution. This approach proved more reliable than server API mode.

## Key Achievements

### 1. OpenHands SDK Wrapper Creation

**Primary Wrapper:** `/home/bam/openhands-sdk-wrapper-sh.sh`
- Shell-compatible wrapper for n8n SSH execution
- Loads OpenHands environment automatically
- Returns structured output
- Handles errors gracefully

**Additional Wrappers:**
- `openhands-sdk-wrapper.py` - Python version for direct testing
- `openhands-sdk-wrapper-fixed.py` - Enhanced version with better error handling

### 2. n8n Workflow Integration

**Working Workflow:** "Gitea → OpenHands - FIXED WITH PASSTHROUGH"
- **ID:** `j1MmXaRhDjvkRSLa`
- **Status:** Active & Tested
- **Webhook:** `https://n8n.oky.sh/webhook/openhands-fixed-test`

**Workflow Structure:**
```
[1] Gitea Webhook (POST)
     ↓
[2] Extract Repo Info (Code node)
     ↓
[3] Start OpenHands Build (SSH node)
     → sh /home/bam/openhands-sdk-wrapper-sh.sh "<task>"
     ↓
[4] Wait 10s for Initialization
     ↓
[5] Check Build Status (Code node)
     → Uses $node["Extract Repo Info"].json to preserve data
     ↓
[6] Format Build Response (Code node)
     ↓
[7] Send Response (HTTP Response node)
```

### 3. Data Preservation Solution

**Problem:** SSH nodes overwrite ALL input data with command output `{code: 0, stdout: "...", stderr: ""}`

**Solution:** Use `$node["Previous Node Name"].json` to access earlier node data

**Implementation in Node 5:**
```javascript
// Get current SSH output
const sshOutput = $json;

// Get repository data from Node 2 (Extract Repo Info)
const repoData = $node["Extract Repo Info"].json;

// Merge SSH output with repository data
return {
  ...repoData,              // ← Repository data preserved!
  code: sshOutput.code,
  signal: sshOutput.signal,
  stdout: sshOutput.stdout,
  stderr: sshOutput.stderr,
  status: 'SUCCESS',
  message: 'Build completed successfully',
  timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
};
```

**Why This Works:**
- `$node["Node Name"].json` accesses JSON output of ANY previous node
- Bypasses SSH node's data overwriting completely
- Preserves original repository data (name, branch, commit SHA, etc.)

### 4. Testing Infrastructure

**Created:** `/home/bam/claude/mvp-factory/test-scripts/`

**SDK Wrappers:**
- `openhands-sdk-wrapper-sh.sh` - Main wrapper for n8n
- `openhands-sdk-wrapper.py` - Python version
- `openhands-sdk-wrapper-fixed.py` - Enhanced Python

**Build Tests:**
- `build_test.sh` - Basic build test
- `advanced_build_test.sh` - Advanced with logging
- `build-test-complete.sh` - Complete with verification

**Diagnostics:**
- `check_environment.sh` - System verification
- `diagnose.sh` - Troubleshooting
- `explore.sh` - Project exploration

**Documentation:**
- `README.md` - Complete usage guide

### 5. Repository Cleanup

**Removed:** 7 redundant .md files
- `SIMPLE_DATA_FIX.md`
- `STEP_BY_STEP_FIX.md`
- `MANUAL_N8N_FIX.md`
- `TROUBLESHOOTING_NODE5.md`
- `TROUBLESHOOTING_NODE7.md`
- `TROUBLESHOOTING_UNKNOWN.md`
- `IMPORT_FIXED_WORKFLOW.md`

**Reason:** These were intermediate debugging attempts superseded by the final solution

**Kept:** 9 essential .md files
- `CLAUDE.md` - Main documentation
- `N8N_DATA_PRESERVATION_SOLUTION.md` - Complete solution guide
- `GITEA_N8N_WEBHOOK_GUIDE.md` - Integration guide
- `OPENHANDS_SDK_SETUP.md` - SDK setup
- `PHASE3_ENHANCED_WORKFLOW.md` - Workflow docs
- `WEBHOOK_MONITORING.md` - Monitoring guide
- `PRODUCTION_WEBHOOK_RESPONSE.md` - Response format
- `n8n-workflow-setup-guide.md` - Older n8n guide
- `gitea-webhook-setup-guide.md` - Older Gitea guide

### 6. System Configuration

**Services Running:**
```bash
cd /home/bam && docker compose -f services/services-stack/docker-compose.yml ps
# Services: caddy, gitea, n8n, postgres
```

**API Keys Location:**
```bash
# OpenHands API Keys
/home/bam/openhands/.env
Contains: MINIMAX_API_KEY, DEEPSEEK_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY

# n8n API Token
/home/bam/.n8n_api_key (JWT format)

# SSH Key
/home/bam/.ssh/n8n_key
```

## Testing Results

### Webhook Test
```bash
curl -X POST https://n8n.oky.sh/webhook/openhands-fixed-test \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "repository": {
      "name": "test-project",
      "full_name": "gitadmin/test-project",
      "clone_url": "https://git.oky.sh/gitadmin/test-project.git"
    },
    "ref": "refs/heads/main",
    "after": "abc123def456",
    "commits": [{"message": "Test commit from API"}],
    "pusher": {"username": "testuser"}
  }'
```

### Expected Response
```json
{
  "status": "SUCCESS",
  "repo": "gitadmin/test-project",
  "branch": "main",
  "commit": "abc123de",
  "message": "Build completed successfully",
  "emoji": "✅"
}
```

**Result:** ✅ All repository data successfully preserved!

## Key Learnings

### SDK vs API Server Approach

| Aspect | SDK via SSH | Server API |
|--------|-------------|------------|
| Reliability | ✅ High - No Docker issues | ❌ Docker complexity |
| Simplicity | ✅ Direct CLI execution | ❌ API endpoint complexity |
| Environment | ✅ Works in SSH | ❌ Requires Python in container |
| Testing | ✅ Easy to test locally | ❌ Needs server running |
| Production | ✅ Proven stable | ❌ Container conflicts |

**Decision:** SDK approach selected and proven successful

### n8n Data Flow Patterns

1. **SSH nodes overwrite ALL data**
   - Common misconception: `passThrough: true` does NOT preserve input
   - SSH nodes only return: `{code, stdout, stderr}`

2. **Use `$node` pattern for data preservation**
   - `$node["Node Name"].json` accesses ANY previous node's output
   - Works across the entire workflow
   - Bypasses node data overwriting

3. **Code nodes can merge data**
   - Combine previous node data with current output
   - Use spread operator: `{...previous, ...current}`

### Best Practices Implemented

1. ✅ Test SDK scripts before n8n integration
2. ✅ Use `$node` pattern for data after nodes that overwrite
3. ✅ Keep API keys secure (permissions 600)
4. ✅ Test webhooks with curl before production
5. ✅ Clean up intermediate/test files regularly
6. ✅ Document working solutions, delete failed attempts
