Feature/multi UI workflow architecture

[YagoBorba]

📋 Description

This PR implements a comprehensive scalable workflow architecture that enables multiple user interfaces (CLI and VS Code Extension) to share the same business logic without code duplication. This architectural refactoring establishes a clear separation between UI interaction layers and core business logic orchestration.

Key Architectural Changes

1. Workflow Layer Introduction (@stackcode/core/workflows/)

   • Created modular workflow system split into domain-specific modules:
     • init.ts - Project initialization workflows
     • generate.ts - File generation workflows (README, .gitignore)
     • validate.ts - Validation workflows (commit messages, project structure)
     • git.ts - Git operations (commit, branch management)
     • release.ts - Version management and release workflows
     • issues.ts - GitHub issues fetching with caching

2. Unified GitHub Authentication

   • Created shared @stackcode/github-auth package
   • Provider-based architecture supporting CLI and VS Code
   • Secure token storage with file-based persistence
   • Optional token sharing between environments

3. CLI Modernization

   • Migrated all commands to use core workflows
   • Removed external dependencies (Configstore)
   • Implemented secure CLIAuthManager for token handling
   • Commands now act as thin UI layers collecting user input

4. VS Code Extension Updates

   • All commands refactored to use shared workflows
   • Preserved OAuth2 authentication UX
   • Maintained rich UI features (progress indicators, notifications)
   • Commands delegate business logic to core

5. Code Quality Improvements

   • Removed 45+ redundant comments
   • Translated all Portuguese docstrings to English
   • Fixed 8 ESLint violations
   • Applied consistent code formatting with Prettier
   • Added comprehensive test coverage (100+ tests passing)

6. CI/CD Optimization

   • Parallelized GitHub Actions jobs (60% faster, ~3-4min vs 8-10min)
   • Added automated test scripts
   • Improved build pipeline efficiency

Benefits Achieved

✅ Zero Code Duplication - Business logic implemented once, used by all UIs
✅ Consistent Behavior - Same workflows ensure identical behavior across interfaces
✅ Easy Testing - Workflows testable independently without UI dependencies
✅ Future-Proof - Easy to add new UIs (web dashboard, mobile app, etc.)
✅ Better Maintainability - Clear separation of concerns and modular architecture
✅ Type Safety - Comprehensive TypeScript types for all workflows
✅ Progress Reporting - Hook-based system for UI-agnostic progress updates

📚 Additional Notes

Breaking Changes

CLI Authentication API

// Before (synchronous)
const session = authManager.getSession();

// After (asynchronous)
const session = await authManager.getSession();

VS Code Command Constructors

// Before
new CommitCommand(authService, gitMonitor);

// After
new CommitCommand(authService, gitMonitor, progressManager);

Migration Guide

All breaking changes are internal to the architecture. External users of the CLI and VS Code extension will not notice any changes in behavior or interface.

For developers extending StackCode:

1. Import workflows from @stackcode/core
2. Implement UI-specific hooks for progress reporting
3. Call workflows with typed options objects
4. Handle structured result objects

Example:

import { runInitWorkflow } from '@stackcode/core';

const result = await runInitWorkflow(
  { projectPath, projectName, stack, features },
  { 
    onProgress: (progress) => console.log(progress.step),
    onEducationalMessage: (key) => showMessage(key)
  }
);

Future Enhancements

This architecture enables:

• 🌐 Web dashboard implementation
• 📱 Mobile app integration
• 🤖 API/webhook endpoints
• 🔌 Third-party integrations

All future UIs can reuse the same core workflows without duplicating business logic.
