### Configuration Flow

The test demonstrates how the Command Executor MCP server switches to NFA cache mode:

```
Test Setup
   ↓
Create JSON Config File
   {
     "cache": {
       "grammarSystem": "nfa",  ← Key configuration
       ...
     }
   }
   ↓
Set AGENT_SERVER_CONFIG env var
   ↓
CommandServer constructor
   • loadConfig() reads JSON
   • Stores in this.config
   ↓
CommandServer.start()
   • Connects to dispatcher
   • Calls applyConfigurationSettings()
   ↓
Send @config Command
   dispatcher.processCommand("@config cache.grammarSystem nfa")
   ↓
Dispatcher Updates Session Config
   session.updateConfig({ cache: { grammarSystem: "nfa" } })
   ↓
Runtime Usage
   • context.session.getConfig().cache.grammarSystem === "nfa"
   • Controls NFA vs completion-based behavior
```

## How Configuration Switching Works

### 1. Configuration File Locations (searched in order)

```
$AGENT_SERVER_CONFIG env variable
./agentServerConfig.json
~/.typeagent/agentServerConfig.json
```

### 2. Example Configuration

```json
{
  "version": "1.0",
  "cache": {
    "enabled": true,
    "grammarSystem": "nfa",
    "matchWildcard": true,
    "matchEntityWildcard": true
  },
  "agents": [
    { "name": "player", "enabled": true },
    { "name": "list", "enabled": true },
    { "name": "calendar", "enabled": true }
  ]
}
```

### 3. Configuration Application

**File**: [commandServer.ts:577-601](packages/commandExecutor/src/commandServer.ts#L577-L601)

```typescript
private async applyConfigurationSettings(): Promise<void> {
    if (this.config.cache.grammarSystem !== "completionBased") {
        await this.dispatcher.processCommand(
            `@config cache.grammarSystem ${this.config.cache.grammarSystem}`
        );
    }
}
```

### 4. Dispatcher Handler

**File**: [configCommandHandlers.ts:737-781](packages/dispatcher/dispatcher/src/context/system/handlers/configCommandHandlers.ts#L737-L781)

```typescript
class GrammarSystemCommandHandler implements CommandHandler {
  public async run(context, params) {
    const system = params.args.system; // "nfa" or "completionBased"
    await changeContextConfig({ cache: { grammarSystem: system } }, context);
  }
}
```

## Cache Behavior Detection

The test uses `cacheCheck: true` parameter to detect cache hits/misses:

```typescript
const { result, isCacheHit, isCacheMiss } = await executeCommand(
  server,
  "play Bohemian Rhapsody",
  true, // ← cacheCheck parameter
);

// Returns:
// - "CACHE_HIT: <result>" if cache hit
// - "CACHE_MISS: <reason>" if cache miss
```

**Implementation**: [commandServer.ts:751-803](packages/commandExecutor/src/commandServer.ts#L751-L803)

```typescript
if (request.cacheCheck) {
  const cacheResult = await this.dispatcher.checkCache(request.request);

  if (cacheResult?.lastError) {
    return toolResult(`CACHE_MISS: ${cacheResult.lastError}`);
  }

  return toolResult(`CACHE_HIT: ${processedResponse}`);
}
```

## Running the Test

### Prerequisites

1. **Start the dispatcher server**:

```bash
cd ts
pnpm run start:agent-server
```

2. **Build the commandExecutor package**:

```bash
cd packages/commandExecutor
npm run build
npm install
```

### Execute Tests

```bash
# Run all tests
npm test

# Run only the integration test
npm run test:integration
```

### Expected Output

```
NFA Cache Integration
  Cache Population and Hit Cycle

    === Phase 1: Initial Requests (Cache Population) ===

    Executing: "play Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen"
      Cache status: MISS
      Result: Successfully executed...

    ✓ Initial requests executed (5000ms)

    === Phase 2: Waiting 120 seconds for cache persistence ===

    Wait complete. Re-executing same requests...

    === Phase 3: Repeated Requests (Cache Hit Verification) ===

    Re-executing: "play Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen"
      Cache status: HIT
      Result: CACHE_HIT: Successfully executed from cache...

    ✓ Repeated execution complete
      Cache hits: 3/3
      Cache misses: 0/3

    📊 Cache Hit Rate: 100.0%

    ✓ should hit cache on repeated execution after delay (125000ms)

    === Phase 4: Similar Requests (Grammar Generalization Test) ===

    Original: "play Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen"
    Similar:  "play Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin"
      Cache status: HIT ✓
      ✓ Grammar generalization successful!

    📊 Generalization Rate: 100.0%

    ✓ should hit cache for similar requests (grammar generalization) (8000ms)
```

   - [grammarStore.ts](packages/actionGrammar/src/grammarStore.ts) - Persistent grammar storage

## Key Insights

### 1. Default is Backward Compatible

- `grammarSystem: "completionBased"` is the default
- Existing systems continue working without changes
- Opt-in to NFA mode via configuration

### 2. File-Based Configuration

- Easy to switch modes without code changes
- Configuration can be per-instance or per-session
- Environment variable override for testing

### 3. Command-Based Application

- Uses existing `@config` command infrastructure
- Configuration changes are logged and reversible
- Validation prevents invalid settings

### 4. Grammar Generalization

- NFA system learns patterns from request/action pairs
- Similar requests match via grammar rules
- Example: "play X by Y" → matches any song/artist combination

### 5. Persistence

- Dynamic rules saved to `~/.typeagent/sessions/<session>/grammars/dynamic.json`
- Rules persist across sessions
- Sync mechanism keeps both stores (AgentGrammarRegistry + GrammarStoreImpl) aligned

## Test Coverage

✅ Configuration loading from JSON file
✅ Environment variable override (`AGENT_SERVER_CONFIG`)
✅ Configuration application to dispatcher via `@config` command
✅ Cache population on first execution
✅ Cache persistence after 120 seconds
✅ Cache hit detection on repeated requests
✅ Grammar generalization to similar requests
✅ Multi-agent support (player, list, calendar)
✅ CACHE_HIT/CACHE_MISS response codes
✅ Detailed logging for debugging

## Future Enhancements

1. **Reduce wait time**: Investigate if 120s wait can be reduced with forced persistence
2. **Mock dispatcher**: Create mock dispatcher for faster unit tests
3. **Negative tests**: Add tests for cache misses and invalid patterns
4. **Performance tests**: Measure cache lookup time vs explainer invocation time
5. **Coverage tests**: Add tests for grammar rule conflicts and merging

## Conclusion

This test suite provides comprehensive verification of the NFA cache integration in the Command Executor MCP server. It validates the complete flow from configuration loading through grammar generalization, ensuring that the cache system works correctly in real-world scenarios.

The test demonstrates:

- ✅ Configuration switching works correctly
- ✅ Cache populates from user interactions
- ✅ Grammar rules persist across sessions
- ✅ Similar requests benefit from learned patterns
- ✅ System maintains backward compatibility
