# Phase 3 — CFG Parser + Server Process Management

**Status**: PENDING
**Depends on**: Phase 1 complete
**Next phase**: `phase-04-server-settings.md`
**Risk**: HIGH — CFG parser must be bit-perfect; server process management is complex.

---

## Goal

Two deliverables built in this phase:

1. **Arma `.cfg` file parser** — reads and writes Arma server config files. Used by Phases 4 and 5.
2. **Server process management** — start/stop the Arma executable, PID tracking, cross-platform liveness check, SSE log streaming, status endpoint.

After this phase: `GET /api/v1/status` returns server status; `GET /api/v1/logging/logs-sse` streams server log lines.

## Implementation Notes

### CFG Parser — replacing Java annotation-reflection with Python dataclass metadata

Java uses `@CfgProperty(name="maxPlayers")` + reflection to map fields to cfg keys.
Python equivalent: `dataclasses.field(metadata={"cfg_name": "maxPlayers", "parser": "integer"})`.

```python
# cfg_annotations.py
from dataclasses import field

def cfg_property(cfg_name: str, parser: str = "string", default=None):
    return field(default=default, metadata={"cfg_name": cfg_name, "parser": parser})

def class_name(name: str):
    return field(default=name, metadata={"class_name": name})
```

Example config model:
```python
@dataclass
class NetworkConfig:
    max_players: int  = cfg_property("maxPlayers", parser="integer", default=32)
    loopback: bool    = cfg_property("loopback", parser="bool", default=False)
    hostname: str     = cfg_property("hostname", parser="quoted_string", default="")
```

### CFG Reader — core algorithm

Arma `.cfg` format:
```
maxPlayers = 32;
hostname = "My Server";
class Missions {
    class Mission_1 {
        template = "Stratis.Stratis";
        difficulty = "Regular";
    };
};
```

Parse steps:
1. Strip `//` line comments and `/* */` block comments
2. Tokenize: `class`, `{`, `}`, `;`, `=`, identifiers, quoted strings, numbers
3. Recursively process `class NAME { ... };` blocks
4. For `key = value;` lines: look up field in dataclass by `cfg_name` metadata, call appropriate parser

### CFG Parsers (port 8 Java parser classes as functions)

```python
# cfg_parsers.py
def parse_quoted_string(s: str) -> str:  # strips surrounding quotes
def parse_raw_string(s: str) -> str:     # as-is
def parse_integer(s: str) -> int:
def parse_long(s: str) -> int:
def parse_bool(s: str) -> bool:          # 1/0 or true/false
def parse_string_array(s: str) -> list[str]:  # parses {"a","b","c"}
def parse_class(tokens, cls: type):      # recursive class parser
def parse_class_list(tokens, cls: type) -> list:  # list of class instances
```

**CRITICAL**: Write round-trip tests before implementing Phase 4:
```python
def test_roundtrip_network_config(tmp_path):
    original = 'maxPlayers = 32;\nhostname = "Test";\n'
    cfg = cfg_reader.read(original, NetworkConfig)
    written = cfg_writer.write(cfg)
    re_read = cfg_reader.read(written, NetworkConfig)
    assert cfg == re_read
```

### Process alive checker

Replace both Java Windows/Unix checkers with one `psutil` function:
```python
import psutil, sys

def is_pid_alive(pid: int) -> bool:
    if pid == 0:
        return False
    try:
        proc = psutil.Process(pid)
        return proc.status() not in (psutil.STATUS_DEAD, psutil.STATUS_ZOMBIE)
    except psutil.NoSuchProcess:
        return False
```

### Process service — key patterns from ProcessServiceImpl.java

- PID file: `<server_dir>/arma_server.pid` — plain text integer, `0` means not running
- Startup lock: `asyncio.Lock()` (replaces Java `ReentrantLock`)
- Status transitions: `NOT_RUNNING → STARTING → RUNNING`, `RUNNING → NOT_RUNNING`
- Process launched: `subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)`
- stdout/stderr reader: two `threading.Thread` daemons reading lines, calling `_notify_observers(line)`
- Stop: `psutil.Process(pid).terminate()`, save pid=0

Observers list (`list[LogObserver]`) is wired in Phase 7 for Discord and at startup for SSE/file observers.

### SSE log streaming — log_observers.py

```python
import asyncio, uuid
from fastapi import APIRouter
from fastapi.responses import StreamingResponse

_sse_clients: dict[str, asyncio.Queue] = {}

def broadcast(line: str):
    """Called by process service threads — thread-safe queue put."""
    for q in _sse_clients.values():
        q.put_nowait(line)

async def _stream(client_id: str):
    q = asyncio.Queue()
    _sse_clients[client_id] = q
    try:
        while True:
            try:
                line = await asyncio.wait_for(q.get(), timeout=30.0)
                yield f"data: {line}\n\n"
            except asyncio.TimeoutError:
                yield ": heartbeat\n\n"
    finally:
        _sse_clients.pop(client_id, None)

router = APIRouter()

@router.get("/api/v1/logging/logs-sse")   # permit-all — no auth dependency
async def logs_sse():
    cid = str(uuid.uuid4())
    return StreamingResponse(_stream(cid), media_type="text/event-stream")
```

### Status endpoints (from StatusController.java)

```
GET  /api/v1/status         → {"status": "RUNNING"|"NOT_RUNNING"|"STARTING"|"UPDATING"}
POST /api/v1/status/toggle  body: {"performUpdate": true|false}  → 200
```

Permission for toggle: `AswgAuthority.SERVER_START_STOP`.

## Completion Checklist

### CFG Parser
- [ ] Parses `key = value;` assignments of all types (string, int, bool, array)
- [ ] Parses nested `class X { ... };` blocks recursively
- [ ] Handles quoted strings, `{a,b,c}` arrays, and `//` / `/* */` comments
- [ ] Round-trip test passes for `NetworkConfig` and `ArmaServerConfig`

### Server Process
- [ ] `is_pid_alive(pid)` works on both Windows and Linux
- [ ] `start_server()` launches Arma executable and saves PID to file
- [ ] `stop_server()` terminates the process and writes pid=0
- [ ] `get_status()` reads PID file and checks liveness
- [ ] Log lines reach all connected SSE clients
- [ ] `GET /api/v1/status` → correct status JSON
- [ ] `POST /api/v1/status/toggle` → starts or stops server
- [ ] `GET /api/v1/logging/logs-sse` streams lines (no auth required)
- [ ] Heartbeat ping sent every 30s to keep SSE alive
