## Tasks
> Each task is fully independent. Send any one to a coding agent without context from the others.
---
### TASK-01 — Swift Package + App Shell
**Priority:** First — everything else depends on this
**Files:** `FchatiApp/Package.swift`, `FchatiApp/Sources/FchatiApp/FchatiApp.swift`, `FchatiApp.entitlements`
**Independent:** Yes
**Requirements:**
Create `FchatiApp/Package.swift`:
```swift
// swift-tools-version: 5.9
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "FchatiApp",
platforms: [.macOS(.v14)],
targets: [
.executableTarget(
name: "FchatiApp",
path: "Sources/FchatiApp"
)
]
)
```
Create `FchatiApp/Sources/FchatiApp/FchatiApp.swift`:
- `@main` SwiftUI App
- Uses `MenuBarExtra` with `.window` style
- Menu bar icon: `Image(systemName: "message")`
- Popover width: 360pt, min height: 480pt
- A root view with three tabs: Chat, Pairing, Settings (segmented picker at top)
Create `FchatiApp/FchatiApp.entitlements`:
```xml
com.apple.security.app-sandbox
com.apple.security.network.client
com.apple.security.network.server
```
Verify: `swift build` succeeds from `FchatiApp/` directory.
---
### TASK-02 — KeychainStore
**Priority:** Second
**File:** `FchatiApp/Sources/FchatiApp/Storage/KeychainStore.swift`
**Independent:** Yes — no dependencies on other app files
**Requirements:**
Write `KeychainStore` as an enum with static methods. Use `Security.framework` directly, no third-party libraries.
Service name: `"de.diyaa.fchati"`
```swift
// Required interface:
KeychainStore.installationID // String — generated once, persists forever (UUID)
KeychainStore.authToken // String? — get/set/delete
KeychainStore.peerID // String? — get/set/delete
KeychainStore.peerName // String? — get/set/delete
KeychainStore.clearAll() // removes token, peerID, peerName (keeps installationID)
```
`installationID` must auto-generate and save on first access.
All properties must be gettable and settable via Swift property syntax.
---
### TASK-03 — RelayAPI (HTTP)
**Priority:** Second (parallel with TASK-02)
**File:** `FchatiApp/Sources/FchatiApp/Networking/RelayAPI.swift`
**Independent:** Yes
**Server base URL:** `https://fchati.diyaa.de`
**Requirements:**
Write `RelayAPI` as an actor using `URLSession` with async/await. No third-party libraries.
```swift
// Required interface:
actor RelayAPI {
static let shared: RelayAPI
func createPairing(displayName: String) async throws -> PairingCreateResponse
func joinPairing(code: String, displayName: String) async throws -> PairingJoinResponse
func uploadFile(url: URL, token: String) async throws -> FileUploadResponse
func downloadFile(id: String, token: String) async throws -> Data
}
struct PairingCreateResponse: Codable {
let code: String
let token: String
let peerID: String
let expiresAt: String
}
struct PairingJoinResponse: Codable {
let token: String
let peerID: String
let peer: PeerInfo
}
struct PeerInfo: Codable {
let id: String
let displayName: String
}
struct FileUploadResponse: Codable {
let id: String
let name: String
let size: Int
}
enum RelayAPIError: Error {
case networkError(Error)
case serverError(Int)
case decodingError(Error)
}
```
File upload uses `multipart/form-data`, field name `"file"`.
---
### TASK-04 — WSClient (WebSocket)
**Priority:** Second (parallel)
**File:** `FchatiApp/Sources/FchatiApp/Networking/WSClient.swift`
**Independent:** Yes
**Requirements:**
Write `WSClient` as an actor using `URLSessionWebSocketTask`. No third-party libraries. Deployment target: macOS 14.
```swift
// Required interface:
actor WSClient {
init(url: URL)
func connect(token: String) async throws
func disconnect()
func send(_ message: WSMessage) async throws
var incoming: AsyncStream { get }
}
struct WSMessage: Codable {
var type: String
var id: String?
var body: String?
var to: String?
var from: String?
var fromName: String?
var token: String?
var peerID: String?
var reason: String?
}
```
Behavior:
1. On `connect`: open WebSocket, immediately send `{ type: "auth", token: "..." }`
2. Wait for `{ type: "auth.ok" }` — throw if not received within 10 seconds
3. After auth: all incoming messages flow into `incoming` AsyncStream
4. Send `{ type: "ping" }` every 30 seconds to keep connection alive
5. On disconnect: attempt reconnect with backoff: 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s, 32s, then stop
---
### TASK-05 — AppSession (State Machine)
**Priority:** Third — after TASK-02, TASK-03, TASK-04
**File:** `FchatiApp/Sources/FchatiApp/Session/AppSession.swift`
**Depends on:** `KeychainStore`, `RelayAPI`, `WSClient`
**Requirements:**
```swift
enum AppState: Equatable {
case unpaired
case connecting
case connected(peerID: String, peerName: String)
case error(String)
}
@MainActor
final class AppSession: ObservableObject {
static let shared = AppSession()
@Published var state: AppState = .unpaired
@Published var messages: [ChatMessage] = []
// Pairing
func createPairingCode(displayName: String) async throws -> String // returns code
func joinWithCode(_ code: String, displayName: String) async throws
// Messaging
func sendText(_ body: String) async throws
func sendFile(url: URL) async throws
// Lifecycle
func unpair()
}
```
On init: read token from `KeychainStore`. If present, attempt `WSClient.connect` immediately.
On incoming `chat.message`: append to `messages` and trigger a `UNUserNotification` if app is in background.
---
### TASK-06 — PairingView
**Priority:** Fourth — after TASK-05
**Files:** `Features/Pairing/PairingView.swift`, `PairingViewModel.swift`
**Requirements:**
Two modes switchable via a segmented picker: "Create Code" / "Enter Code".
**Create Code mode:**
- Text field for display name
- "Create Code" button → calls `AppSession.shared.createPairingCode`
- Shows the returned code (e.g. `FCHT-AB3K7Q`) in a monospaced font with a Copy button
- Shows "Code expires in 5 minutes"
- Shows a spinner while waiting for the other peer to join
**Enter Code mode:**
- Text field for display name
- Text field for code — auto-uppercases, accepts with or without `FCHT-` prefix
- "Connect" button → calls `AppSession.shared.joinWithCode`
- Shows inline error if code is wrong or expired
Both modes observe `AppSession.shared.state` and navigate to `ChatView` when state becomes `.connected`.
---
### TASK-07 — ChatView
**Priority:** Fourth (parallel with TASK-06)
**Files:** `Features/Chat/ChatView.swift`, `ChatViewModel.swift`, `MessageBubble.swift`
**Requirements:**
`MessageBubble`:
- Sent messages: right-aligned, blue bubble
- Received messages: left-aligned, gray bubble
- Render message body using `AttributedString(markdown:)` for Markdown support
- Show timestamp below bubble
`ChatView`:
- `ScrollViewReader` with auto-scroll to latest message
- Message list from `AppSession.shared.messages`
- Text input bar at bottom + Send button (also triggers on Return key)
- Paperclip button 📎 opens `NSOpenPanel` for file selection → calls `AppSession.shared.sendFile`
- Microphone button 🎙 — hold to record (`AVAudioRecorder`, `.m4a`), release to send as file
---
### TASK-08 — MessageStore (Local Persistence)
**Priority:** Fourth (parallel)
**File:** `FchatiApp/Sources/FchatiApp/Storage/MessageStore.swift`
**Independent:** Yes
**Requirements:**
```swift
struct ChatMessage: Codable, Identifiable, Equatable {
let id: String
let from: String
let fromName: String
let body: String
let sentAt: Date
let attachment: AttachmentInfo?
var isRead: Bool
}
struct AttachmentInfo: Codable, Equatable {
let fileID: String
let name: String
let size: Int
}
actor MessageStore {
static let shared: MessageStore
func save(_ message: ChatMessage) throws
func loadAll() throws -> [ChatMessage]
func markRead(id: String) throws
var unreadCount: Int { get async }
}
```
Storage: JSON file at `FileManager.default.urls(for: .applicationSupportDirectory, ...).first!.appendingPathComponent("de.diyaa.fchati/messages.json")`.
Create the directory if it does not exist.
---
### TASK-09 — SettingsView
**Priority:** Fifth
**File:** `Features/Settings/SettingsView.swift`
**Requirements:**
Simple settings screen:
- Display current user name (read from `KeychainStore.peerName`) with an Edit button
- Show connection status: "Connected to [peer name]" or "Not connected"
- "Unpair" button → calls `AppSession.shared.unpair()` and clears Keychain
- App version at the bottom (read from `Bundle.main.infoDictionary["CFBundleShortVersionString"]`)
---
### TASK-10 — New Message Notifications
**Priority:** Fifth (independent)
**File:** `FchatiApp/Sources/FchatiApp/Notifications/NotificationManager.swift`
**Requirements:**
```swift
final class NotificationManager {
static let shared = NotificationManager()
func requestPermission() async
func notify(from senderName: String, body: String)
}
```
- `requestPermission()` called once on first launch
- `notify` fires a `UNUserNotificationRequest` with title = sender name, body = first 100 chars of message body
- Do not send a notification if the menu bar popover is currently visible

## How to Send a Task to a Coding Agent
Copy the block below, fill in the task number and paste it to your agent:
```
Context:
- Repo: https://git.mohfarawati.de/diyaa/fchaty.git
- App folder: FchatiApp/ (Swift Package, no Xcode, SPM only)
- macOS 14+, Swift 5.9+, no third-party libraries
- Relay server is already running at https://fchati.diyaa.de
Task: [paste the full task section here, e.g. TASK-04]
After writing the code:
1. Make sure it compiles: run `swift build` from the FchatiApp/ directory
2. Fix any compiler errors before finishing
3. Do not open Xcode or create any .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace files
```
