Created Mar 3, 2026 2:19 PM Updated Mar 12, 2026 10:15 PM
Description
Run a CTO-perspective architecture review before Phase 2. Focus: system design (SQLite+EventEmitter for chat), session lifecycle state machine, SSE reliability through Caddy, security model for multi-user, concurrency model, deployment readiness. Deliverable: ADR with fix-now vs fix-later recommendations. Context: ~/Claude/claude-remote-server/, 174 tests, Parts 1-4 Phase 1 complete.

Completed CTO architecture review. ADR written to projects/claude-remote-server/architecture-review.md. Key findings: (1) Architecture fundamentally sound for single-user — child process per turn, SQLite, JSONL events, signed cookies all correct choices. (2) Four Phase 2 blockers: stale session recovery on restart, systemd service, persistent cookie secret, Caddy SSE timeout config. (3) Three Phase 3 prereqs: 'waiting' status, scheduler execSync→async, CSRF. (4) Two defer-entirely items: backpressure, distributed pub/sub. Verdict: proceed to Phase 2 after ~2.5hr of Phase 2 blocker fixes.

CTO architecture review completed. Executive summary: sound architecture for single-user tool, clean layering. Key findings — HIGH: no SIGKILL escalation (FIXED), dynamic scheduler exceeds concurrency cap (td-08124e), graceful shutdown orphans processes (FIXED), duplicate orphan cleanup (FIXED). MEDIUM: no process tree killing (FIXED), pages.ts monolith, no migration framework, project.path unvalidated, no structured logging. Security: auth model solid (SHA-256 hashing, timing-safe comparison, HMAC cookies), but needs CSRF (td-9eafcb). Full review in session notes.
