# Feature Specification: Add web application settings mechanism

**Feature Branch**: `002-app-settings`  
**Created**: 2025-12-20  
**Status**: Draft  
**Input**: User description: "давай внесем полноценный механизм настройки веб приложения. Что нужно точно - 1. Интерфейс для добавления enviroments (разные сервера суперсета) 2. Интерфейс для настройки файлового хранилища бекапов"

## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*

### User Story 1 - Manage Superset Environments (Priority: P1)

As an administrator, I want to add, edit, and remove Superset environment configurations (URL, credentials, name) so that the application can interact with multiple Superset instances.

**Why this priority**: This is the core functionality required for the tool to be useful across different stages (dev/prod) or different Superset clusters.

**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by adding a new environment, verifying it appears in the list, and then deleting it.

**Acceptance Scenarios**:

1. **Given** the settings page is open, **When** I enter valid Superset connection details and save, **Then** the new environment is added to the list of available targets.
2. **Given** an existing environment, **When** I update its URL and save, **Then** the system uses the new URL for subsequent operations.
3. **Given** an existing environment, **When** I delete it, **Then** it is no longer available for selection in other parts of the application.

### User Story 2 - Configure Backup Storage (Priority: P1)

As an administrator, I want to configure the file path or storage location for backups so that I can control where system backups are stored.

**Why this priority**: Essential for the backup plugin to function correctly and for users to manage disk space/storage locations.

**Independent Test**: Can be tested by setting a backup path and verifying that the system validates the path's existence or accessibility.

**Acceptance Scenarios**:

1. **Given** the storage settings section, **When** I provide a valid local or network path, **Then** the system saves this as the default backup location.
2. **Given** an invalid or inaccessible path, **When** I try to save, **Then** the system displays an error message and does not update the setting.

### Edge Cases

- **Duplicate Environments**: What happens when a user tries to add an environment with a name that already exists? (System should prevent duplicates).
- **Invalid Credentials**: How does the system handle saving environments with incorrect credentials? (System should ideally validate connection on save).
- **Path Permissions**: How does the system handle a backup path that is valid but the application lacks write permissions for? (System should check write permissions).

## Requirements *(mandatory)*

### Functional Requirements

- **FR-001**: System MUST provide a dedicated settings interface in the web UI.
- **FR-002**: System MUST allow users to create multiple named "Environments" for Superset.
- **FR-003**: Each Environment MUST include: Name, Base URL, and Authentication details (e.g., Username/Password or API Key).
- **FR-004**: System MUST allow setting a global "Backup Storage Path".
- **FR-005**: System MUST persist these settings across application restarts.
- **FR-006**: System MUST validate the Superset URL format before saving.
- **FR-007**: System MUST verify that the Backup Storage Path is writable by the application.
- **FR-008**: System MUST allow selecting a "Default" environment for operations.

### System Invariants (Constitution Check)

- **INV-001**: Sensitive credentials (passwords/keys) MUST NOT be displayed in plain text after being saved.
- **INV-002**: At least one environment MUST be configured for the application to perform Superset-related tasks.

### Key Entities *(include if feature involves data)*

- **Environment**: Represents a Superset instance. Attributes: Unique ID, Name, URL, Credentials, IsDefault flag.
- **AppConfiguration**: Singleton entity representing global settings. Attributes: BackupPath, DefaultEnvironmentID.

## Success Criteria *(mandatory)*

### Measurable Outcomes

- **SC-001**: Users can add a new Superset environment in under 30 seconds.
- **SC-002**: 100% of saved environments are immediately available for use in backup/migration tasks.
- **SC-003**: System prevents saving invalid backup paths 100% of the time.
- **SC-004**: Configuration changes take effect without requiring a manual restart of the backend services.
