+== Summary
+
+Good to know is a short list of hints about an integration, each answering a
question a newcomer to it has: what
+happens to a message when it fails, what is dropped, what does not wait, what
a restart forgets, what can happen twice,
+what is exposed. A hint says what happens, not what to change (a hint, not a
fix):
+
+----
+When it fails A refund that fails in route refunds is logged and skipped: the
kafka input does not read it again
+ (breakOnFirstError=true does).
+When it fails When the dead letter channel direct:parked fails as well, the
order is logged as a WARN and gone.
+Twice Route refunds reads Kafka, which can deliver a message again,
and calls payment with no idempotent
+ consumer before it.
+----
+
+This proposal puts the hints in metadata, not in Java code, in two layers:
+
+1. *Facts*: what the consumer of a component does with a message whose
exchange failed, whether a send waits for the
+ system to take it, whether an EIP keeps its state in memory, and so on. A
component, EIP, data format or language
+ declares them with a new annotation, `@Facts`, as it declares its body
types with `@BodyTypes`, and the build writes
+ them into its JSON, in its JAR and in the catalog.
+2. *The hint rules*: one curated file in `camel-catalog`, each rule a
condition over the route model and the facts,
+ and a text. One small engine in `camel-jbang-core` evaluates them.
+
+The About screen of the TUI, `camel get about`, the project overview, the MCP
tools and other tools (a visual
+designer) read the same rules from the catalog, so they say the same.
camel-chaos reads the facts from the component
+JSON at runtime, and a hint names the chaos recipe that tries it. The same
rules also explain a failure when it happens,
+in a running integration or in a chaos experiment: the hint that said it could
happen is the "why" of it (see
+<<Explaining a failure>>).
+
+== Motivation
+
+The questions are the same in every tool, and today each tool answers some of
them in its own Java code:
+
+- `ProjectOverview` (camel-jbang-core) has findings in Java: a send to a route
that does not exist, a cycle, a route
+ with no description, a pass-through route.
+- `SecurityData` (camel-jbang-mcp) holds the security-sensitive components,
their considerations and risk levels in
+ Java, for the security scan and harden tools.
+- camel-chaos has tables in Java: `ChaosConsumers` (which inputs keep a failed
message: file without `moveFailed`,
+ JMS with `transacted=true`, Kafka with `breakOnFirstError=true`), and in
`ChaosAdvisor` the inputs that deliver at
+ least once, the hand-offs (`seda`, `vm`, `disruptor`) and the inputs that
feed themselves (`timer`, `scheduler`,
+ `cron`, `quartz`).
+- The catalog has the option metadata that some of it needs: `secret`,
`security = "insecure:*"`, `remote`.
+
+The chaos explorations of CAMEL-26760 showed which of these matter: in the
runs on the chaos example, every loss the
+AI found was a fact that could have been a hint before the first fault (the
orders lost when the dead letter channel
+fails as well, the refunds skipped by the Kafka input, the duplicate payments
that went through). And the About screen
+(CAMEL-26700) runs with or without camel-chaos on the classpath, so the facts
cannot live in camel-chaos.
+
+Hints in Java code are fixed per release, hidden from other tools, and copied
between tools that need the same fact.
+Hints as data are one list that can be read, reviewed, tested and extended,
also by an AI, without a code change.
+
+== Goals
+
+- One set of hint rules, in the catalog, that every tool reads.
+- The facts of a component, EIP, data format or language declared once, by its
author, next to its options, with an
+ annotation; read from the catalog by the tools and from the JAR at runtime.
+- Hints that need no fact at all, from the structure of the route (a `choice`
without `otherwise`), in the same rules.
+- No hint text and no hint condition in Java code. The engine is generic.
+- A hint is decided from the route files and the catalog: it works when the
integration does not run.
+- A hint can name the chaos recipe that tries it, without a dependency on
camel-chaos.
+- A component without a fact gives no hint about it: no guess.
+- The same rules explain a failure when it happens (an error, a lost message,
a chaos experiment): the hint that said
+ it could happen is the "why", with what it means and the choices.
+
+== Non-goals
+
+- Fixing the route. A hint says what happens; the hints of the source editor
and the AI do the fixing.
+- Hints from a running integration (counts, errors). They may come later; the
first set is static. The explanation of a
+ failure reads the running integration (see <<Explaining a failure>>), the
hints do not.
+- A general rule language. The conditions are a small, closed vocabulary.
+- Replacing the validation of the routes (`camel validate`, the checks of the
source editor).
+
+== Current design
+
+The About screen (CAMEL-26700) reads the route files with `About` and
`ProjectOverview` (camel-jbang-core): what
+comes in, the routes, what goes out, and the findings of `ProjectOverview` as
`Finding(level, kind, message, route)`.
+`camel get about` prints the same through `AboutReport`. The ticket
CAMEL-26716 asks for a Good to know section at the
+end, from one curated rule set shared with the overview, the security tools of
the MCP server and the Doctor.
+
+The catalog has a JSON per component (`components/<name>.json`) generated by
`camel-package-maven-plugin` from the
+annotations of the component (`@UriEndpoint`, `@UriParam`, `@Metadata`), and
the same JSON is in the component JAR
+(`META-INF/org/apache/camel/component/<name>/<name>.json`). The catalog also
ships models that are not per component,
+such as the chaos model (`chaos-model.json`, generated from camel-chaos by the
plugin goal `generate-chaos-model`).
+
+== Proposal
+
+=== Layer 1: facts, declared with an annotation
+
+A fact says what a component, an EIP, a data format or a language does in a
situation a hint asks about. It is
+declared with a new annotation of `spi-annotations`, `@Facts`, on the same
class and in the same way as `@BodyTypes`
+(CAMEL-24844): the endpoint class (the class with `@UriEndpoint`), the model
class of an EIP, the data format class or
+the language class. `camel-package-maven-plugin` writes the facts into the
JSON of that class, as a `facts` section
+next to `bodyTypes`, so they are in the JAR and in the catalog.
+
+`@Facts` has a side per place, as `@BodyTypes` has: `consumer` and `producer`
for an endpoint, `step` for an EIP, a
+data format or a language. Each side is a list of `@Fact`: a name, its value
with the default options, and the values
+for other options, in the same `byOption` shape as `@BodyType.When`:
+
+[source,java]
+----
+@Facts(consumer = {
+ @Fact(name = FactName.ON_FAILURE, value = "skipped",
+ byOption = @Fact.When(option = "breakOnFirstError", value =
"true", is = "kept")),
+ @Fact(name = FactName.KEPT_RETRIES, value = "unbounded"),
+ @Fact(name = FactName.DELIVERS_AGAIN, value = "yes") },
+ producer = {
+ @Fact(name = FactName.CONFIRMED, value = "yes",
+ byOption = @Fact.When(option = "requestRequiredAcks", value =
"0", is = "no")) })
+public class KafkaEndpoint extends DefaultEndpoint ...
+
+@Facts(step = @Fact(name = FactName.IN_MEMORY, value = "yes",
+ byOption = @Fact.When(option = "aggregationRepository",
value = "*", is = "no")))
+public class AggregateDefinition ...
+----
+
+[source,json]
+----
+"facts": {
+ "consumer": {
+ "onFailure": { "value": "skipped", "byOption": [ { "option":
"breakOnFirstError", "value": "true", "is": "kept" } ] },
+ "keptRetries": { "value": "unbounded" },
+ "deliversAgain": { "value": "yes" }
+ },
+ "producer": {
+ "confirmed": { "value": "yes", "byOption": [ { "option":
"requestRequiredAcks", "value": "0", "is": "no" } ] }
+ }
+}
+----
+
+The names are an enum (`FactName`), so a typo does not compile; the values are
text, and the plugin checks each against
+the values its name allows, as it checks the carriers of a body type. A `When`
with `value = "*"` is any value: the fact
+when the option is set at all (`moveFailed`, `aggregationRepository`). A
`When` can add `alsoOption`s that must hold as
+well, for a fact that needs two options (JMS keeps a failed message with
`acknowledgementModeName=CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE`
+and `asyncConsumer=false`). A fact that is not declared is not known, and
gives no hint: no guess, as for a body type
+that is not given. A new fact is a new name in the enum and in the rules, not
a new annotation.
+
+A `@Fact` can have a `seeAlso` too, with the same ids as the rules (see layer
2), for where the fact is explained, such as
+the section of the Kafka page about committing offsets. A hint shows the
`seeAlso` of its rule, then those of the facts
+it used.
+
+The first names, by side:
+
+[cols="1,1,3"]
+|===
+|Name |Side |Values and meaning
+
+|`onFailure` |consumer |What the input does with a message whose exchange
failed: `skipped` (logged, gone; the input
+goes on), `kept` (read again), `rolledBack` (given back to the system, which
delivers it again under its own policy),
+`returned` (the caller gets the failure, as an HTTP server), `moved` (put
aside, such as `moveFailed`)
+|`keptRetries` |consumer |`unbounded` (a poison message is read again for
ever) or `bounded` (the system stops, such as
+a broker with a maximum redelivery count)
+|`deliversAgain` |consumer |`yes` when the system can deliver a message again
(at least once: a rebalance, a restart, a
+lost acknowledgement)
+|`onSuccess` |consumer |What the input does with a message whose exchange
completed: `removed` (moved, deleted,
+acknowledged, committed: it is not read again), `left` (it stays, such as
`noop=true`, and an idempotent repository
+keeps it from being read again)
+|`feedsItself` |consumer |`yes` for an input that makes its own messages
(timer, scheduler)
+|`inMemory` |consumer, producer, step |`yes` when what waits there is lost on
a restart (a seda queue, the groups of an
+aggregate without a repository, the keys of an idempotent consumer with a
memory repository)
+|`handOff` |producer, step |`yes` when the send goes on without waiting for
the receiver (seda, vm, disruptor; a wireTap)
+|`failureRaised` |producer |`yes` when a failed call is an exception the error
handler sees; `no` with
+`throwExceptionOnFailure=false` of HTTP, where an error status is a normal
reply
+|`idempotent` |producer |`yes` when sending again does no harm
(`httpMethod=GET`, `PUT`, `DELETE`), `no` when a
+redelivery repeats the side effect (`POST`, an insert)
+|`confirmed` |producer |`yes` when the send waits for the system to take the
message
+|`timeoutBounded` |producer |`yes` when the default options bound the time of
a call
+|`overwrites` |producer |`yes` when a send replaces what is there
(`fileExist=Override`)
+|`answersForFailure` |step |`yes` when the step answers in place of a failed
call (a `circuitBreaker` with a fallback)
+|===
+
+At runtime camel-chaos reads the facts of the component of an endpoint from
its JAR
+(`CatalogCamelContext.getComponentParameterJsonSchema`), and drops its tables
(`ChaosConsumers`, and the sets in
+`ChaosAdvisor`). The chaos report then says "kept by the consumer" from the
same fact as the hint.
+
+=== Layer 2: the hint rules
+
+One file in `camel-catalog`, `hints/good-to-know.json`, written by hand and
reviewed as code. The catalog gives it to
+its readers (`CamelCatalog.goodToKnowJson()`), as it gives the chaos model.

+
+The order of the file is the order of the hints: the groups in the order of
`groups`, and within a group the rules in
+the order they are listed. A rule that matters more is listed first; there is
no separate rank field.
+
+The conditions are a closed vocabulary that the engine knows, over one route
at a time. Two conditions follow a send
+into the route it reaches: `deadLetter.canFail` and `receiver` (see
<<Explaining a failure>>). The engine already reads
+all the routes, so this is a lookup of the route that consumes the endpoint
(over `direct`, a hand-off, or HTTP to the
+integration's own server), not a search; from there it follows the sends over
`direct` only, and stops at a route it
+has seen, so a cycle ends.
+
+[cols="1,3"]
+|===
+|Condition |Matches
+
+|`input` |The from endpoint of the route: its `scheme`, its catalog `label`,
or a `fact` of layer 1 resolved with the
+options of the endpoint
+|`errorHandler` |The error handler that applies to the route (its own, a route
configuration, the one of its file or of
+the context): `default`, `deadLetterChannel`, `noErrorHandler`; for a dead
letter channel, `deadLetter.canFail` (it goes
+to an endpoint, or to a route that sends to anything but a log or an in-memory
queue: a condition that follows the dead
+letter endpoint into the route that consumes it)
+|`sends` |A send of the route: `remote` (catalog), a producer `fact` resolved
with its options, `handOffBefore` (a
+hand-off or a wireTap comes before it), `option` (set, not set, equals),
`receiver` (a condition on the route the send
+reaches, see <<Explaining a failure>>)
+|`has`, `hasNot` |EIPs in the route: `idempotentConsumer`, `circuitBreaker`,
`transacted`, `filter`, `aggregate`,
+`wireTap`...
+|`step` |An EIP of the route with a `fact` of its own, resolved with its
options (an `aggregate` whose state is in
+memory), or with a shape (`choice` without `otherwise`, an `onException` with
`handled` and no log)
+|`option` |An option of the input: set, not set, equals
+|===
+
+A rule matches when all its conditions do. Its `text` has placeholders from a
fixed set, the same in `impact`, the
+`text` of `choices`, `outcome` and `seeAlso`; the engine fills them from what
matched:
+
+[cols="1,3"]
+|===
+|Placeholder |Expands to
+
+|`${route}` |The id of the route
+|`${input}` |The from endpoint of the route, without its query (the options
may hold a secret)
+|`${input.scheme}` |The scheme of the from endpoint (`kafka`)
+|`${input.keptBy}` |The option that gives the fact of the input its other
value, from its `byOption`, as
+`name=value` (`breakOnFirstError=true`); a `When` with `value = "*"` gives the
name only (`moveFailed`)
+|`${input.keptByOption}` |The name of that option alone (`breakOnFirstError`),
for a `seeAlso` anchor
+|`${input.doc}` |The catalog id of the component of the input
(`component:kafka`), for `seeAlso`
+|`${send}` |The endpoint of the send that matched, without its query
+|`${send.scheme}` |The scheme of that send (`seda`)
+|`${send.option}` |The option that decided the fact of the send, as
`name=value`: the `byOption` that matched
+(`throwExceptionOnFailure=false`), or the option of the `option` sub-condition
of `sends`; empty when the fact is its
+default
+|`${send.doc}` |The catalog id of the component of the send, for `seeAlso`
+|`${deadLetter}` |The endpoint of the dead letter channel, without its query
+|`${receiver}` |The id of the route the send reaches (the `receiver` condition)
+|===
+
+A placeholder of a condition the rule does not have (`${send}` in a rule
without `sends`) is an error of the rule,
+which the validation finds. `tryChaos` is the id of a recipe of the chaos
model, so a reader with chaos can offer "try
+it", and a reader without chaos shows the hint only.
+
+`seeAlso` lists where to read more, each an id the readers resolve:
+
+[cols="1,3"]
+|===
+|Id |Resolves to
+
+|`component:kafka`, `dataformat:jackson3`, `language:simple`,
`model:idempotentConsumer` |The page of that entry of the
+catalog (an EIP or an error handler is a `model`), by the name the catalog
has; the kinds are those of the catalog
+|`component:kafka#breakOnFirstError` |An option of the entry: its description
from the catalog JSON, and its anchor on
+the page
+|`manual:error-handler` |A page of the user manual, by its file name; it is
not in the catalog, so a reader links to the
+website
+|`https://...` |Any other page
+|`${input.doc}`, `${send.doc}` |The page of the component of the input or of
the send of the hint, filled in as the text
+is (`${input.doc}#${input.keptByOption}` is the option of its `byOption`)
+|===
+
+The TUI shows a catalog page or option in place (as its catalog doc does
today), the MCP tools give the id to
+`camel_catalog_doc`, and the About text of `camel get about` prints the
website link. The test of the file checks that
+each catalog id names an entry and an option that exist, and that each manual
id is a page of the user manual.
+
+Not every hint needs a fact. Many come from the structure of the route alone,
and are rules of the same file:
+
+- What is dropped: a `choice` without `otherwise`, a `filter`, the duplicates
an `idempotentConsumer` skips.
+- When it fails: an `onException` that is `handled` with no log or dead
letter, so a failure leaves no trace.
+- What a restart forgets: an `aggregate` or an `idempotentConsumer` whose
state is in memory (a fact of the EIP).
+- When a service is slow: a `circuitBreaker` with a fallback answers for the
service, so its failures are not seen by
+ the caller (a fact of the EIP).
+
+The groups are those of CAMEL-26716 (when it fails, what is dropped, what does
not wait, what a restart forgets, twice or
+out of order, what is exposed or insecure), with "when a service is slow"
added from the chaos runs.
+
+=== The engine
+
+One class in `camel-jbang-core` evaluates the rules over the route model it
already reads (`About`, `ProjectRoutes`:
+the route files and the catalog), and gives per route the hints that match,
with the text filled in. It knows the
+conditions and the placeholders, not the rules. Who reads it:
+
+- The About screen of the TUI: a Good to know section at its end.
+- `camel get about` (`AboutReport`): `goodToKnow` in the JSON and the text, so
an AI over MCP gets the same.
+- `ProjectOverview`: its findings become rules of the file, where they fit the
vocabulary (a send to a route that does
+ not exist, a cycle); those that do not stay in Java until the vocabulary has
them.
+- The security scan and harden tools of the MCP server: the per-component data
of `SecurityData` becomes facts and
+ rules (an option marked `security = "insecure:*"` set to its insecure value,
a secret written as plain text).
+- camel-chaos and `chaos-explore`: a hint with `tryChaos` is a hypothesis to
test, and its recipe the rule to try.
+
+=== For an AI, and the user decides
+
+A hint is "pay attention to this", not a best practice to apply. Most of what
the hints point at is a choice: a Kafka
+input that keeps a failed message (`breakOnFirstError=true`) also reads a
poison message again for ever, and skipping a
+failed message may be right for metrics and wrong for payments. Only the user
knows which.
+
+That makes the hints useful to an AI that builds or changes routes, a local
model in particular:
+
+- A small model knows few of these from its training, and does not follow long
guidance text. In the chaos runs of
+ CAMEL-26760 the playbook said when an expectation of lost messages fits, and
the model did not follow it; what worked
+ was Camel saying what was wrong, at the moment it mattered, after which the
model corrected itself. A hint is the
+ same, while the route is written: short, about this route, the same every
time.
+- Only the hints that match the route are given, a few lines each. `seeAlso`
is the way to read more, one id to
+ `camel_catalog_doc`, instead of whole pages in a small context.
+- The AI does not act on a hint by itself. It brings it to the user as a
question, with the choices and what each
+ costs ("a refund that fails is skipped: keep it (breakOnFirstError, a poison
message is read again), park it (a dead
+ letter channel), or accept it?"). The user decides, and the AI writes the
decision into the route. A hint says what
+ happens, so the wording stays "this happens", never "add this", which a
model takes as an order.
+
+A decision is kept with the project, so the hint does not come back, and the
reason stays for the next person or model:
+a line per decision in the project (a file under `.camel/`, or a comment on
the route), such as
+`refunds failed-message-skipped: accepted, the returns desk sends again`. The
engine marks a decided hint as decided
+instead of dropping it; the About screen shows what is still to decide, and
what was decided and why.
+
+With `tryChaos` the loop closes: the hint asks, the user decides, the AI
changes the route, and the chaos recipe of the
+hint tries it, so the decision is shown to hold (the refund that fails is
parked, not lost) and not only written down.
+
+An evaluation can count it, as the chaos explorations are scored: per route an
AI built, the hints left undecided, and
+the hints it brought to the user.
+
+=== Explaining a failure
+
+A hint says what can happen before anything ran. When it happens, the same
hint explains it. The question is the same
+wherever the failure is seen:
+
+- a failed exchange on the Errors tab or the Timeline of the TUI, `camel get
errors`, or the MCP tools
+ `camel_get_errors` and `camel_error_diagnose`;
+- messages that went missing between two routes, or arrived twice;
+- a chaos experiment that made it happen on purpose (let there be chaos,
CAMEL-26760).
+
+In the TUI, a rule that failed route `ship` one time in five lost 39 orders
between `inbox` and `ship`. The report says
+what broke (`inbox->ship:lost<=0: unmet, 39 lost`), and the Errors tab of a
real outage would say `39 failed in ship`.
+Neither says why. A newcomer needs to hear why, what it means in production,
and what the choices are. That is the hint
+the failure shows, so the explanation uses the same rules, at a second moment:
+
+- Before: the hint, "pay attention to this", with `tryChaos` the recipe that
tries it.
+- After: the failure finds the rule whose outcome it is, and its text is the
"why". Without an AI that is one line with
+ the error or under the unmet expectation. With an AI (Shift+F8 on the Errors
tab or the Explore view of the TUI, or
+ `camel_error_diagnose`), the model writes the explanation from the rule, its
facts and what was seen, and offers the
+ choices of the rule; the user decides, as for a hint.
+
+For this the rules get three optional fields, and the vocabulary one condition:

+|`receiver` (in `sends`) |A condition on the route the send reaches (over
`direct`, a hand-off, or HTTP to the
+integration's own server), with the same vocabulary as the route of the rule.
With `deadLetter.canFail` it is the only
+condition that looks past one route (see the conditions above): a hand-off is
where most messages are lost, and it is
+between two routes. `${receiver}` is its id.
+|`outcome` |What is seen when the hint happens: `failed` in a route (an
error), `lost` between two routes, `duplicates`
+in a route, `slow` (the time of a route), `lostAtDeadLetter`. It is the way
back from a failure to its rule, as
+`tryChaos` is the way from a rule to its recipe. An error in a running
integration matches `failed`; a chaos experiment
+also matches the outcome of its unmet expectation.
Review Comment:
Defined in 8c73acdc8ab2: `lostAtDeadLetter` (the dead letter channel failed
as well, so the message is logged as a WARN and gone; with `failed` the error
handler still had it). It is the outcome of the `dead-letter-can-fail` rule.
