## Overview

This document summarizes the implementation of SCMUDC (Sound Control Management Usage Data Collection) event enrichment in the AfterTouch toolkit. The enhancement provides human-readable analysis of device telemetry data to improve usability and debugging capabilities.

## Problem Solved

Previously, SCMUDC telemetry events were stored as raw JSON with Base64-encoded XML content, making them difficult to analyze. Users had to manually decode content to understand what device interactions were being recorded.

## Solution Implemented

### 1. Backend Enrichment (`pkg/service/proxy/`)

#### New File: `scmudc.go`
- **SCMUDCRequest/SCMUDCEvent Structs**: Parse incoming telemetry JSON
- **EnrichedSCMUDCEvent Struct**: Human-readable analysis with decoded content
- **DecodedContent Struct**: Parsed XML metadata (track names, artwork URLs, etc.)
- **enrichSCMUDCRequest()**: Main enrichment function that:
  - Identifies event origin (app, hardware, or internal system)
  - Decodes Base64 XML content for device events
  - Creates human-readable summaries
- **Helper Functions**: Button formatting, content summarization, origin descriptions

#### Enhanced File: `recorder.go`
- **Updated save() method**: Extracts SCMUDC data during recording
- **New writeRequestWithEnrichment()**: Adds enriched comments to .http files
- **New writeResponseWithEnrichment()**: Includes SCMUDC analysis in response section
- **Updated Interaction struct**: Added `SCMUDCData` field for API responses
- **New extractSCMUDCFromFile()**: Parses enrichment data from existing .http files
- **Enhanced parseInteractionFile()**: Populates SCMUDC data when listing interactions

### 2. Frontend Enhancement

#### Updated HTML (`pkg/service/handlers/web/index.html`)
- **New Column**: Added "Event Details" to interactions table
- **Table Structure**: Updated to accommodate SCMUDC enrichment display

#### Enhanced JavaScript (`pkg/service/handlers/web/js/script.js`)
- **Updated fetchInteractions()**: Displays enriched SCMUDC data with icons
- **New Helper Functions**:
  - `getOriginIcon()`: Maps origins to emojis (📱 App, 🎛️ Hardware, 🔄 Internal)
  - `getActionIcon()`: Maps actions to emojis (▶️ Play, ⏸️ Pause, etc.)
  - `showSCMUDCDetails()`: Detailed popover for complex events
  - `displaySCMUDCPopover()`: Modal dialog with full decoded content
- **Truncation Logic**: Long content shows "(...)" with click-to-expand

## Event Origin Clarification

Based on analysis of recorded data:

| Origin | Source | Description | Example Events |
|--------|--------|-------------|----------------|
| `gabbo` | **SoundTouch App** | Mobile/desktop app UI interactions | Play, Pause, Power via app |
| `console` | **Device Hardware** | Physical buttons on speaker | Preset buttons, hardware power |
| `device` | **Internal System** | Automatic device responses | Content playback, system actions |

## Enhanced .http File Format

### Before (Raw)
```http
### POST /v1/scmudc/AABBCCDDEEFF
POST /v1/scmudc/AABBCCDDEEFF
Host: events.api.bosecm.com
...

{"envelope":...,"payload":{"events":[{"data":{"contentItem":"PD94bWw..."}}]}}
```

### After (Enriched)
```http
### POST /v1/scmudc/AABBCCDDEEFF
// Origin: Internal System (device)
// Action: play-item
// Command: Billie Eilish - bad guy (instrumental version)
// Summary: Device: Spotify: Billie Eilish - bad guy (instrumental version)
//
// Decoded Content:
// - Source: SPOTIFY
// - Item: Billie Eilish - bad guy (instrumental version)
// - Account: gesellix
// - Artwork: https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b273...
//
// Full XML Content:
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
// <ContentItem source="SPOTIFY" type="tracklisturl" ...>
//     <itemName>Billie Eilish - bad guy (instrumental version)</itemName>
//     <containerArt>https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b273...</containerArt>
// </ContentItem>
POST /v1/scmudc/AABBCCDDEEFF
...

{% raw %}
> {%
    // Response: 200 OK
    // SCMUDC Event Analysis:
    // - Origin: Internal System (device)
    // - Action: play-item
    // - Summary: Device: Spotify: Billie Eilish - bad guy (instrumental version)
    // - Content: Billie Eilish - bad guy (instrumental version)
    // - Account: gesellix
%}
{% endraw %}
```

## Web UI Enhancement

### Interactions Table
- **New Column**: "Event Details" shows enriched summaries
- **Visual Icons**: Origin and action type indicators
- **Truncation**: Long content abbreviated with "(...)" expansion
- **Backward Compatibility**: Works with existing recordings

### Event Details Display
```
📱 ▶️ Play Button                    (Simple app action)
🔄 🎵 Billie Eilish - bad guy... (...)  (Complex device event with details)
🎛️ ⭐ Preset 5                        (Hardware preset button)
```

### Detailed Popover
For complex events, clicking "(...)" shows:
- **Origin Description**: "SoundTouch App" instead of "gabbo"
- **Full Content Information**: Track names, artwork URLs, account details
- **Complete XML**: Formatted and readable content item data

## Implementation Benefits

### For Users
- **Immediate Recognition**: See what actions were performed without decoding
- **Better Debugging**: Quick identification of app vs. hardware vs. system events
- **Rich Context**: Track names, accounts, and content sources visible at a glance

### For Developers
- **Structured Data**: Consistent parsing and enrichment pipeline
- **Extensible**: Easy to add new event types and origins
- **Backward Compatible**: Existing recordings work without re-processing

### For Analysis
- **Pattern Recognition**: Quickly identify user behavior patterns
- **Service Integration**: See which music services are being used
- **Device Usage**: Understand app vs. hardware control preferences

## Technical Decisions

### Base64 Decoding Strategy
- **When**: During recording (not on-demand) for performance
- **Fallback**: Parse from .http files if enrichment missing
- **Storage**: Both enriched comments and structured data in API responses

### Icon Selection
- **Emoji Usage**: Universal, colorful, intuitive recognition
- **Semantic Mapping**: Icons match function (📱 for app, 🎛️ for hardware)
- **Fallback**: Generic icons (❓, 🔘) for unknown types

### Backward Compatibility
- **Graceful Degradation**: Missing enrichment data doesn't break UI
- **File Parsing**: Extract enrichment from existing .http files
- **API Enhancement**: New fields optional in Interaction struct

## Future Enhancement Opportunities

1. **Event Correlation**: Link device events to user actions
2. **Statistics Dashboard**: Origin-based usage analytics
3. **Content Recommendations**: Track listening patterns
4. **Device Health**: Monitor interaction frequency and patterns
5. **Export Features**: CSV/JSON export of enriched event data

## Testing Considerations

- **Edge Cases**: Malformed Base64, missing XML elements
- **Performance**: Large numbers of SCMUDC events
- **Browser Compatibility**: Emoji display across different browsers
- **Data Validation**: Ensure enrichment doesn't introduce errors

This implementation significantly improves the usability of SCMUDC telemetry data while maintaining full backward compatibility and raw data access for advanced users.
