  • XML template system with default fallback
  • Organic content compilation and storage

• Multi-LLM Enhancement Pipeline: ✅ FULLY OPERATIONAL

  • 6 LLM providers: Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Deepseek, Moonshot, Mistral
  • 4-stage enhancement pipeline: Claude → GPT-4 → Gemini → Mistral
  • Direct generation bypass for 16+ elements
  • Average execution: 60-90 seconds for full multi-LLM processing

   • Automatic fallback when filenames detected

4. Multi-LLM Content Generation

   • Direct element generation (bypasses faulty hierarchy)
   • Missing keywords auto-generation
   • 4-stage enhancement pipeline
   • Organic content compilation maintaining natural flow

Development Commands

Production Workflow Execution

# Execute real production workflow from Google Sheets
node -e "const main = require('./lib/Main'); main.handleFullWorkflow({ rowNumber: 2, source: 'production' });"

# Test with different rows
node -e "const main = require('./lib/Main'); main.handleFullWorkflow({ rowNumber: 3, source: 'production' });"

Basic Operations

• npm start - Start the production server on port 3000
• npm run dev - Start the development server (same as start)
• node server.js - Direct server startup

Testing Commands

Google Sheets Integration Tests

# Test personality loading from Google Sheets
node -e "const {getPersonalities} = require('./lib/BrainConfig'); getPersonalities().then(p => console.log(`${p.length} personalities loaded`));"

# Test CSV data loading
node -e "const {readInstructionsData} = require('./lib/BrainConfig'); readInstructionsData(2).then(d => console.log('Data:', d));"

# Test random personality selection
node -e "const {selectPersonalityWithAI, getPersonalities} = require('./lib/BrainConfig'); getPersonalities().then(p => selectPersonalityWithAI('test', 'test', p)).then(r => console.log('Selected:', r.nom));"

Architecture Overview

Core Workflow (lib/Main.js)

1. Data Preparation - Read from Google Sheets (CSV + XML template)
2. Element Extraction - Parse 16+ XML elements with instructions
3. Missing Keywords Generation - Auto-complete missing data
4. Direct Content Generation - Bypass hierarchy, generate all elements
5. Multi-LLM Enhancement - 4-stage processing (Claude → GPT-4 → Gemini → Mistral)
6. Content Assembly - Inject content back into XML template
7. Organic Compilation & Storage - Save clean text to Google Sheets

Google Sheets Integration (lib/BrainConfig.js, lib/ArticleStorage.js)

Authentication: Environment variables (GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL, GOOGLE_PRIVATE_KEY)

Data Sources:

• Instructions Sheet: Columns A-I (slug, T0, MC0, T-1, L-1, MC+1, T+1, L+1, XML)
• Personnalites Sheet: 15 personalities with complete profiles
• Generated_Articles Sheet: Compiled text output with metadata

Personality System (lib/BrainConfig.js:265-340)

Random Selection Process:

1. Load 15 personalities from Google Sheets
2. Fisher-Yates shuffle for true randomness
3. Select 60% (9 personalities) per generation
4. AI chooses best match within random subset
5. Temperature = 1.0 for maximum variability

15 Available Personalities:

• Marc (technical), Sophie (déco), Laurent (commercial), Julie (architecture)
• Kévin (terrain), Amara (engineering), Mamadou (artisan), Émilie (digital)
• Pierre-Henri (heritage), Yasmine (greentech), Fabrice (metallurgy)
• Chloé (content), Linh (manufacturing), Minh (design), Thierry (creole)

Multi-LLM Pipeline (lib/ContentGeneration.js)

1. Base Generation (Claude Sonnet-4) - Initial content creation
2. Technical Enhancement (GPT-4o-mini) - Add precision and terminology
3. Transition Enhancement (Gemini) - Improve flow (if available)
4. Personality Style (Mistral) - Apply personality-specific voice

• Temperature = 1.0: Maximum variability in AI selection
• Direct element generation: Bypasses hierarchy system for reliability
• Organic compilation: Maintains natural text flow in final output
• 5/6 LLM providers operational: Gemini geo-blocked, others fully functional

LogSh - Centralized Logging System

Architecture

• Centralized logging: All logs must go through LogSh function in ErrorReporting.js
• Multi-output streams: Console (pretty format) + File (JSON) + WebSocket (real-time)
• No console or custom loggers: Do not use console.* or alternate logger modules

Log Levels and Usage

• TRACE: Hierarchical workflow execution with parameters (▶ ✔ ✖ symbols)
• DEBUG: Detailed debugging information (visible in files with debug level)
• INFO: Standard operational messages
• WARN: Warning conditions
• ERROR: Error conditions with stack traces

File Logging

• Format: JSON structured logs in timestamped files
• Location: logs/seo-generator-YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.log
• Flush behavior: Immediate flush on every log call to prevent buffer loss
• Level: DEBUG and above (includes all TRACE logs)

Real-time Logging

• WebSocket server: Port 8081 for live log viewing
• Auto-launch: logs-viewer.html opens in Edge browser automatically
• Features: Search, filtering by level, scroll preservation, compact UI

Trace System

• Hierarchical execution tracking: Using AsyncLocalStorage for span context
• Function parameters: All tracer.run() calls include relevant parameters
• Format: Function names with file prefixes (e.g., "Main.handleFullWorkflow()")
• Performance timing: Start/end with duration measurements
• Error handling: Automatic stack trace logging on failures

Log Viewer Features

• Real-time updates: WebSocket connection to Node.js server
• Level filtering: Toggle TRACE/DEBUG/INFO/WARN/ERROR visibility
• Search functionality: Regex search with match highlighting
• Proportional scrolling: Maintains relative position when filtering
• Compact UI: Optimized for full viewport utilization

Unused Audit Tool

• Location: tools/audit-unused.cjs (manual run only)
• Reports: Dead files, broken relative imports, unused exports
• Use sparingly: Run before cleanup or release; keep with // @keep:export Name

📦 Bundling Tool

pack-lib.cjs creates a single code.js from all files in lib/.
Each file is concatenated with an ASCII header showing its path. Imports/exports are kept, so the bundle is for reading/audit only, not execution.

Usage

node pack-lib.cjs              # default → code.js
node pack-lib.cjs --out out.js # custom output
node pack-lib.cjs --order alpha
node pack-lib.cjs --entry lib/test-manual.js
