Summary
Create a comprehensive cross-system integration guide documenting how the 7 kcenon ecosystem systems work together, with dependency maps, initialization sequences, and integration patterns.
Parent Issue
Part of: [EPIC] docs: Address documentation gaps across all ecosystem systems (#325)
Background (Why)
The kcenon ecosystem consists of 7 C++ systems plus Rust ports, but there is no documentation explaining how to integrate multiple systems together. Each system's docs exist in isolation. A developer wanting to build an application using multiple systems (e.g., network + database + logging + monitoring) has no guide for:
- Initialization order and dependency resolution
- Service container setup with multiple systems
- Adapter wiring between systems
- Shared configuration management
Scope (What)
Create docs/INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md covering:
1. Ecosystem Dependency Map
common_system (Tier 0 - Foundation)
├── thread_system (Tier 1)
│ ├── logger_system (Tier 2)
│ │ └── database_system (Tier 3)
│ └── monitoring_system (Tier 2, Rust)
├── container_system (Tier 1)
└── network_system (Tier 2)
2. Integration Patterns
Using unified_bootstrapper
auto system = unified_bootstrapper::create()
.add<thread_system>()
.add<logger_system>()
.add<database_system>()
.add<network_system>()
.configure(config)
.bootstrap();
Manual Adapter Wiring
- typed_adapter for cross-system connections
- Service container registration
- Lifecycle management
3. Common Integration Scenarios
| Scenario |
Systems |
Key Config |
| Web API Server |
common + thread + logger + network |
HTTP facade + async logger |
| Data Pipeline |
common + thread + database + container |
Async DB + typed containers |
| Monitoring Stack |
common + thread + monitoring + logger |
Metrics + structured logging |
| Full Stack |
All 7 systems |
Complete bootstrapper setup |
4. Configuration Across Systems
- Unified config with per-system sections
- Shared settings (thread pool sizes, log levels)
- System-specific overrides
5. Error Handling Across Systems
- Error code ranges by system
- Cross-system error propagation
- Result composition patterns
6. Initialization and Shutdown
- Bootstrap order (respecting dependencies)
- Graceful shutdown sequence (reverse order)
- Timeout handling during shutdown
- Resource cleanup guarantees
7. Complete Example Application
- Full 100-line example using 4+ systems together
- Build system (CMakeLists.txt) setup for multi-system
Acceptance Criteria
