Final ThoughtsThis is a solid feature implementation that follows project patterns well. The architecture is clean, type safety is excellent, and the SSE streaming approach is the right choice. However, the 5 critical issues (especially the unused prompt builder and missing tests) must be addressed before merge. The race condition and memory leak could cause production issues. Once these are fixed, this will be production-ready! 🚀 Looking forward to seeing the updates. Happy to review again once changes are made. |
CRITICAL FIX: The course-aware prompt was imported but never used. All module generation was using the standard Metis prompt without course context. Changes: - Add PromptBuilder type for custom prompt functions - Update RetryConfig and SSEStreamConfig to accept promptBuilder param - Modify retryHandler to use custom or default prompt builder - Update sseHandler to pass through promptBuilder - Wire buildCourseAwareModulePrompt into /api/themis/module endpoint Impact: - Modules now generated with full course context (narratives, arcs) - Preceding modules listed to avoid repetition - Thematic consistency maintained across course - Integration guidelines included in prompts This fixes the most critical issue from code review.
Replace setInterval polling in generateAll() with proper Promise-based sequential generation. The generateModule function now returns a Promise that resolves when SSE stream completes or errors. **Before**: - Polled generatingModuleId every 1s with setInterval - No timeout protection - Race condition between async operations **After**: - generateModule returns Promise<void> - Promise resolves on 'complete' or 'error' SSE event - Sequential await in generateAll() ensures proper ordering - Errors handled gracefully, continue to next module 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Prevent memory leaks by properly cancelling active ReadableStream readers when the ModuleGenerationList component unmounts. **Implementation**: - Track active readers in Set<ReadableStreamDefaultReader> - Add reader to set when SSE stream starts - Remove from set in finally block when stream completes - Cancel all active readers in onDestroy lifecycle hook **Before**: - Readers continued running after component unmount - Memory leak with abandoned SSE connections - No cleanup on navigation away **After**: - All active streams cancelled on unmount - Proper resource cleanup - Graceful error handling during cancellation 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
SummaryThis PR successfully implements module generation orchestration for the Themis workflow with excellent architecture. The implementation follows established patterns, properly reuses existing infrastructure, and introduces a clean separation between Themis course context and Metis generation logic. The code is well-structured with strong typing and comprehensive SSE streaming support. However, there are several areas that need attention: the generateAll function has a problematic polling mechanism, error handling could be more robust, and there's no test coverage for this critical feature. |

Create reusable XML escaping utility and apply to all user-controlled
data in synthetic XML generation for Themis module endpoint.
**Implementation**:
- New utility: `src/lib/utils/xml/xmlEscape.ts`
- `escapeXml()` - Escapes &, <, >, ", '
- `escapeXmlArray()` - Batch escape for arrays
- Applied to all user data in `convertToMetisFormat()`:
- Module titles, descriptions, objectives, topics
- Course titles, narratives, progressions
- Arc narratives and progressions
- Preceding module titles
**Security Impact**:
Before: User input like `<script>alert('xss')</script>` could break XML
After: Properly escaped as `<script>alert('xss')</script>`
**Example**:
Input: `AI & Machine Learning: "Advanced" Topics`
Output: `AI & Machine Learning: "Advanced" Topics`

SummaryThis PR implements the module generation orchestration (step 5) of the Themis workflow, enabling course-aware module generation with real-time progress tracking. The implementation is architecturally sound, reuses existing Metis infrastructure effectively, and includes excellent XML injection protection. However, there are several areas requiring attention: concurrency management in the UI, error handling completeness, memory management concerns, and the absence of automated tests. 🎯 Code Quality & Best PracticesStrengthsExcellent Architecture & Reuse
Type Safety
Code Style
Areas for Improvement1. Concurrency Management in UI Component The generatingModuleId state variable at src/lib/components/themis/ModuleGenerationList.svelte:16 only tracks a single module generation, but the generateAll() function at line 261 attempts sequential generation. Issue: If a user clicks "Generate All" and then clicks an individual "Generate" button, the UI may display inconsistent state. Recommendation: Consider using a Set to track multiple generating modules OR disable all buttons when batch generation is active with a separate flag isBatchGenerating. 2. Promise Resolution Pattern At src/lib/components/themis/ModuleGenerationList.svelte:87-101, the handleComplete function is only called inside the SSE event loop, but if the stream closes without sending a complete or error event, the promise may never resolve/reject, causing generateAll() to hang indefinitely. Recommendation: Add a timeout or ensure the promise resolves in the finally block if not already resolved. 🐛 Potential IssuesCritical Issues1. Reader Cleanup Race Condition At src/lib/components/themis/ModuleGenerationList.svelte:137-162, reader.cancel() calls are not awaited, so if unmount happens while a reader is mid-operation, the cleanup might not complete before the component is destroyed. Recommendation: Track promise rejectors alongside readers to ensure promises are rejected on cleanup. Consider using AbortController pattern for cleaner cancellation propagation. 2. JSON.parse Error Handling At src/lib/components/themis/ModuleGenerationList.svelte:154, SSE data is parsed without error handling. Malformed SSE data will throw an uncaught exception, breaking the entire generation flow. Recommendation: Wrap in try-catch and log/handle parsing errors gracefully. 3. Module State Mutation The currentCourse.update() calls mutate module objects directly. While Svelte will detect the change, this pattern is fragile and may cause issues if the store implementation changes. Recommendation: Consider creating new objects instead of mutating existing ones, following immutable update patterns. Minor Issues4. Type Safety
Recommendation: Define explicit types for better type safety and IntelliSense support. ⚡ Performance Considerations1. Memory Usage with Long Responses At src/lib/components/themis/ModuleGenerationList.svelte:140-150, the SSE stream accumulates chunks in a buffer with string concatenation. If module generation produces large XML outputs (multiple MB), this could cause performance degradation. Recommendation: Monitor buffer size and add a maximum size check. 2. Sequential Generation The generateAll() function processes modules sequentially. For a course with 10 modules taking 2 minutes each, this would require 20 minutes total. Recommendation: Document this design decision in code comments. This may be intentional to avoid rate limits, reduce costs, or maintain coherence. 🔒 Security ConcernsStrengthsExcellent XML Injection Protection ✅ The new xmlEscape.ts utility properly escapes all XML special characters and is correctly used throughout convertToMetisFormat(). Areas for Improvement1. Server-Side Input Validation While Zod validation is present, consider adding length limits for string fields to prevent excessive memory usage: courseNarrative: z.string().max(10000, 'Course narrative too long') 2. Error Message Information Disclosure At src/routes/api/themis/module/+server.ts:86-94, detailed error messages are returned to the client. Depending on the error, this could expose internal implementation details. Recommendation: Use generic error messages for production, but keep detailed logging server-side. 3. Rate Limiting Consideration The generateAll() function can trigger multiple expensive API calls. Consider implementing client-side throttling to prevent accidental rapid-fire requests. ✅ Test CoverageCritical Gap: No Automated TestsThe codebase currently has no test files, as confirmed by glob searches. This PR adds 1,300+ lines of complex functionality without any automated test coverage. Recommended Test CoverageUnit Tests Needed
Integration Tests Needed
RecommendationGiven the complexity of this feature and its critical role in the Themis workflow, strongly recommend adding at least:
Consider setting up a testing framework (Vitest for unit tests, Playwright for E2E) as a follow-up task. SummaryThis is a well-architected feature that thoughtfully extends the existing Metis infrastructure for course-aware generation. The code quality is generally high with good separation of concerns and strong type safety. The XML escaping implementation is particularly commendable. Before merging, please address:
Follow-up recommendations:
Great work overall! The course narrative integration is elegant and the real-time progress tracking will provide excellent UX. |

🐛 Potential IssuesCritical1. Race Condition in generateAll() - ModuleGenerationList.svelte:261-275 The component only tracks a single generatingModuleId. Line 344 disables Generate All when ANY module is generating, but if a user manually triggers individual module generation while Generate All is paused, UI state could become confused. Recommendation: Either make generatingModuleId a Set to track multiple concurrent generations, or add explicit UI state to distinguish bulk vs single generation. 2. Missing Error Boundary in Modal - ModuleGenerationList.svelte:459-480 The preview modal doesn't verify xmlContent is non-empty. A module could have moduleData: {} with no xmlContent. Recommendation: Add optional chaining and fallback display Medium Priority3. Promise Rejection in Async IIFE - ModuleGenerationList.svelte:103-170 The async IIFE inside generateModule() could fail without being caught by outer promise handlers if an error occurs during stream reading setup. Attach .catch() to the IIFE. 4. Incomplete getPrecedingModuleTitles() Logic - ModuleGenerationList.svelte:240-259 Doesn't account for modules that might have failed generation. Consider filtering by status to only include completed modules. 5. No Timeout Handling - ModuleGenerationList.svelte:106-124 API has timeouts (2-5min) but component doesn't handle timeout errors specially. Users might see generic Generation failed message. |
⚡ Performance ConsiderationsCurrent Performance ProfileGood: Sequential generation prevents API rate limiting and manages resource usage effectively. Potential Optimisations1. Large Course Handling - ModuleGenerationList.svelte:23-25 For courses with 20+ modules, progress calculations run on every store update. totalModules is constant after mount, so calculate it once instead of on every reactive update. 2. Nested Store Updates - ModuleGenerationList.svelte:194-211 handleGenerationComplete() uses nested loops to find modules. For large courses, this is O(n*m). Consider maintaining a Map<moduleId, {arcIndex, moduleIndex}> for O(1) lookups. 3. Modal Rendering - ModuleGenerationList.svelte:459-480 The modal searches for the preview module on every render using flatMap and find. Compute this once when opening the modal instead. 4. SSE Buffer Management - ModuleGenerationList.svelte:140-159 String concatenation in SSE decoder is generally fine for typical payloads, but could be optimized with TextDecoderStream API for very large responses (though probably overkill here). Memory Management ✅Excellent: Proper cleanup of SSE readers in onDestroy() prevents memory leaks. |
🔒 Security ConcernsStrengths ✅1. XML Injection Prevention - src/lib/utils/xml/xmlEscape.ts The new escapeXml() utility is critical and correctly implemented with proper escaping order (ampersand first), handling all five XML special characters, and null/undefined safety. 2. Comprehensive Escaping in API - src/routes/api/themis/module/+server.ts:108-119 All user-provided data is properly escaped before XML embedding. This is excellent security practice. Concerns1. XSS in Module Preview Modal - ModuleGenerationList.svelte:472 Risk Level: Low (Svelte escapes by default, XML is validated before storage) The XML preview renders raw content. While Svelte escapes by default, XML comes from AI generation and could theoretically contain malicious content if AI is compromised or prompt-injected. Recommendation: Add Content Security Policy headers to prevent any script execution. 2. Course Context Data in Console Logs - ModuleGenerationList.svelte:175 SSE events may contain course narratives and sensitive educational content. This could leak proprietary curriculum data. Recommendation: Remove or use logging library with redaction for production builds. 3. Client-Side Course Data Exposure - ModuleGenerationList.svelte:112-123 Risk Level: Low (depends on business requirements) Entire courseContext is sent in request body. Course structure is fully exposed in browser network logs. If proprietary content, consider using session-based course IDs or request signing. Validation ✅Strong validation with Zod schemas ensures type safety and prevents malformed data from reaching the generation pipeline. |
✅ Test CoverageCurrent StateNo new test files were added in this PR. Given the scope (895-line component + API endpoint + utilities), this is a significant gap. Recommended Test Coverage1.

Overview
Implements step 5 of the Themis workflow: module generation orchestration. Users can now generate individual modules or entire courses with AI, tracking progress in real-time. Each module is generated with full course context (narratives, arc themes, preceding modules) to ensure thematic coherence and avoid content repetition.
Tip
No additional setup required. The feature uses existing Metis generation infrastructure with course-awareness extensions.

Summary
This PR is like hiring a master chef who not only knows every recipe in the cookbook (Metis), but also understands the entire dinner party menu (course structure), remembers which dishes have already been served (preceding modules), and adjusts each course to complement the overall culinary narrative (arc themes). Instead of cooking each dish in isolation, the chef ensures every module fits perfectly into the multi-course meal, avoiding repetitive flavours whilst maintaining thematic coherence from appetizer to dessert. And they've got a live video feed showing exactly what's simmering on each burner (SSE streaming).
