Module System Design (module_manager.py, modules/)

This document details the design and purpose of the module system within the backend, primarily managed by backend/module_manager.py and any abstract base classes or interfaces defined in backend/modules/ (e.g., modules/base.py).

(TODO: Team member to fill this section after reviewing module_manager.py and contents of the modules/ directory.)

Please describe:

• Purpose of the Module System:

  • Is it designed to allow for pluggable components, extensions, or different strategies for a part of the application?
  • What kind of modules does it manage?

• module_manager.py:

  • How does it discover and load modules? (e.g., dynamic import, scanning a directory, naming conventions).
  • What are its main functions or classes?
  • How does the rest of the application interact with the ModuleManager to access or use these modules?

• Module Interface/Base Class (e.g., modules/base.py):

  • Is there an abstract base class or a defined interface that modules must adhere to?
  • What methods or properties does this contract define?

• Example Modules (if any):

  • Briefly describe any existing modules and what functionality they provide.

• Application Logic Integration:

  • How does the core application logic (e.g., in main.py/api.py) utilize these modules through the manager?

If your project does not have a significant or distinct "module system" as described, this page may be unnecessary or its relevant content merged elsewhere.
