Integration Architecture

"HEAT integrates without intrusion. A sidecar, not a replacement."

HEAT uses a Sidecar Architecture to work alongside your existing project management tools without modifying them or requiring API access. Like a cormorant diving alongside a fishing fleet, HEAT observes activity without disrupting the existing workflow.

Architecture Layers

---

Layer 1: Existing Systems (Read-Only)

HEAT never writes to your PM system. It only reads public metadata visible in the DOM.

What HEAT Reads

Data Point	Source	Example
Task ID	DOM element (data attribute or text)	PROJ-1234
Task Title	DOM element (h1, title, aria-label)	"Fix payment gateway timeout"
Task Status	DOM class or status badge	"In Progress"
Assignee	Current user session	[email protected]

What HEAT Does NOT Read

❌ Task descriptions ❌ Comments or activity logs ❌ Attachments ❌ Watchers or subscribers ❌ Custom fields (unless explicitly configured)

Integration Examples

Jira Cloud

// HEAT Browser Extension reads from DOM
const taskId = document.querySelector('[data-testid="issue.views.issue-base.foundation.breadcrumbs.current-issue.item"]')?.textContent;
const taskTitle = document.querySelector('h1[data-testid="issue.views.issue-base.foundation.summary.heading"]')?.textContent;

// Example detected values
// taskId: "HEAT-42"
// taskTitle: "Implement pain streak algorithm"

Azure DevOps

// HEAT reads from Azure DevOps DOM
const taskId = document.querySelector('.work-item-form-id')?.textContent;
const taskTitle = document.querySelector('.work-item-form-title input')?.value;

// Example detected values
// taskId: "12345"
// taskTitle: "Optimize SQL query performance"

GitHub Issues

// HEAT reads from GitHub Issues
const taskId = document.querySelector('.gh-header-number')?.textContent;
const taskTitle = document.querySelector('.js-issue-title')?.textContent;

// Example detected values
// taskId: "#123"
// taskTitle: "Bug: Session timeout on checkout"

Why Read-Only Matters

Resilience:

• If HEAT breaks, your PM system continues unchanged
• No risk of corrupting task data
• No dependency on API keys or webhooks

Privacy:

• Developers control what's tagged (opt-in, not surveillance)
• No data scraped without explicit user action
• PM admins don't need to grant access

Simplicity:

• No OAuth flows required
• No webhook configurations
• Works with any PM system (even custom tools)

Layer 2: HEAT Collector (Browser Extension)

The HEAT Collector is a lightweight browser extension that:

1. Detects active task context
2. Provides tagging UI
3. Caches tasks locally for offline resilience
4. Syncs tags to HEAT API

                         HEAT API (HTTPS)

DOM Observer (Context Detection)

Automatically detects which task you're working on:

// HEAT Extension: DOM Observer
class TaskContextDetector {
  private config: SelectorConfig;
  private currentTask: TaskContext | null = null;

  constructor(platform: 'jira' | 'ado' | 'github') {
    this.config = getPlatformSelectors(platform);
  }

  observe(): void {
    // Watch for URL changes (SPA navigation)
    window.addEventListener('popstate', () => this.detectContext());

    // Watch for DOM updates (task switches)
    const observer = new MutationObserver(() => this.detectContext());
    observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });

    // Initial detection
    this.detectContext();
  }

  private detectContext(): void {
    const taskId = this.extractTaskId();
    const taskTitle = this.extractTaskTitle();

    if (taskId && taskTitle) {
      this.currentTask = { taskId, taskTitle, timestamp: Date.now() };
      this.notifyUI(this.currentTask);
    } else {
      this.currentTask = null;
    }
  }

  private extractTaskId(): string | null {
    const element = document.querySelector(this.config.taskIdSelector);
    return element?.textContent?.trim() || null;
  }

  private extractTaskTitle(): string | null {
    const element = document.querySelector(this.config.taskTitleSelector);
    return element?.textContent?.trim() || element?.value?.trim() || null;
  }

  getCurrentTask(): TaskContext | null {
    return this.currentTask;
  }
}

// Platform-specific selectors
function getPlatformSelectors(platform: string): SelectorConfig {
  const configs = {
    jira: {
      taskIdSelector: '[data-testid="issue.views.issue-base.foundation.breadcrumbs.current-issue.item"]',
      taskTitleSelector: 'h1[data-testid="issue.views.issue-base.foundation.summary.heading"]'
    },
    ado: {
      taskIdSelector: '.work-item-form-id',
      taskTitleSelector: '.work-item-form-title input'
    },
    github: {
      taskIdSelector: '.gh-header-number',
      taskTitleSelector: '.js-issue-title'
    }
  };
  return configs[platform];
}

Tagging UI (30-Second Experience)

Minimal-friction tagging interface:

// HEAT Extension: Tagging UI Component
class TaggingUI {
  private taskContext: TaskContext;
  private tagHistory: Tag[] = [];

  render(): HTMLElement {
    return `
      <div class="heat-tag-panel">
        <div class="heat-task-context">
          <strong>${this.taskContext.taskId}</strong>
          <span>${this.truncate(this.taskContext.taskTitle, 40)}</span>
        </div>

        <div class="heat-tag-selector">
          <label>Work Type:</label>
          <select id="heat-work-type">
            <option value="Feature">Feature</option>
            <option value="Bug">Bug</option>
            <option value="Blocker">Blocker</option>
            <option value="Support">Support</option>
            <option value="Config">Config</option>
            <option value="Research">Research</option>
          </select>
        </div>

        <div class="heat-intensity-selector">
          <label>Intensity:</label>
          <div class="heat-intensity-buttons">
            ${[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10].map(i => `
              <button class="heat-intensity-btn" data-intensity="${i}">${i}</button>
            `).join('')}
          </div>
          <div class="heat-intensity-helper">
            <span class="x1-3">🟦 Routine</span>
            <span class="x4-6">🟨 Focused</span>
            <span class="x7-10">🟥 Intense</span>
          </div>
        </div>

        <div class="heat-quick-save">
          <button id="heat-save-tag" class="primary">Save Tag</button>
          <button id="heat-save-continue" class="secondary">Save & Continue</button>
        </div>

        <div class="heat-recent-tags">
          <label>Recent tags:</label>
          ${this.renderRecentTags()}
        </div>
      </div>
    `;
  }

  private renderRecentTags(): string {
    // Show last 3 tags for quick re-use
    return this.tagHistory.slice(-3).map(tag => `
      <button class="heat-recent-tag-btn" data-tag="${JSON.stringify(tag)}">
        ${tag.workType} × ${tag.intensity}
      </button>
    `).join('');
  }

  async saveTag(tag: Tag): Promise<void> {
    // Save to local cache first (instant feedback)
    await this.cacheTag(tag);

    // Queue for sync to API (background)
    await this.queueForSync(tag);

    // Update UI
    this.showSuccessFeedback();
  }
}

Local Cache (Offline Resilience)

Tasks cached locally for 30 days:

// HEAT Extension: Local Cache (IndexedDB)
class HeatCache {
  private db: IDBDatabase;

  async cacheTask(task: TaskContext): Promise<void> {
    const tx = this.db.transaction('tasks', 'readwrite');
    const store = tx.objectStore('tasks');

    await store.put({
      taskId: task.taskId,
      taskTitle: task.taskTitle,
      lastSeen: Date.now(),
      expiresAt: Date.now() + (30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) // 30 days
    });
  }

  async getCachedTask(taskId: string): Promise<TaskContext | null> {
    const tx = this.db.transaction('tasks', 'readonly');
    const store = tx.objectStore('tasks');
    const result = await store.get(taskId);

    if (!result || result.expiresAt < Date.now()) {
      return null; // Expired
    }

    return {
      taskId: result.taskId,
      taskTitle: result.taskTitle,
      timestamp: result.lastSeen
    };
  }

  async cacheTags(tags: Tag[]): Promise<void> {
    const tx = this.db.transaction('tags', 'readwrite');
    const store = tx.objectStore('tags');

    for (const tag of tags) {
      await store.put({
        ...tag,
        synced: false,
        createdAt: Date.now()
      });
    }
  }

  async getUnsyncedTags(): Promise<Tag[]> {
    const tx = this.db.transaction('tags', 'readonly');
    const store = tx.objectStore('tags');
    const index = store.index('synced');

    return await index.getAll(false); // Get all unsynced tags
  }
}

Sync Controller (Background Upload)

Batches tags and syncs to API:

// HEAT Extension: Sync Controller
class SyncController {
  private syncInterval: number = 5 * 60 * 1000; // 5 minutes
  private cache: HeatCache;
  private api: HeatAPI;

  start(): void {
    setInterval(() => this.sync(), this.syncInterval);

    // Also sync on visibility change (tab focus)
    document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', () => {
      if (document.visibilityState === 'visible') {
        this.sync();
      }
    });
  }

  async sync(): Promise<void> {
    const unsyncedTags = await this.cache.getUnsyncedTags();

    if (unsyncedTags.length === 0) {
      return; // Nothing to sync
    }

    try {
      // Batch upload (max 100 tags per request)
      const batches = this.chunk(unsyncedTags, 100);

      for (const batch of batches) {
        await this.api.uploadTags(batch);
        await this.markAsSynced(batch);
      }

      console.log(`[HEAT] Synced ${unsyncedTags.length} tags`);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('[HEAT] Sync failed, will retry:', error);
      // Tags remain in cache, will retry next interval
    }
  }

  private async markAsSynced(tags: Tag[]): Promise<void> {
    const tx = this.cache.db.transaction('tags', 'readwrite');
    const store = tx.objectStore('tags');

    for (const tag of tags) {
      const record = await store.get(tag.id);
      if (record) {
        record.synced = true;
        record.syncedAt = Date.now();
        await store.put(record);
      }
    }
  }

  private chunk<T>(array: T[], size: number): T[][] {
    const chunks: T[][] = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i += size) {
      chunks.push(array.slice(i, i + size));
    }
    return chunks;
  }
}

Layer 3: HEAT API (Processing Engine)

The API layer ingests tags, calculates patterns, and serves dashboards.

API Endpoints

// HEAT API Routes
const routes = {
  // Tag ingestion
  'POST /api/v1/tags': uploadTags,
  'GET /api/v1/tags/:userId': getUserTags,

  // Dashboard data
  'GET /api/v1/dashboard/developer/:userId': getDeveloperView,
  'GET /api/v1/dashboard/manager/:teamId': getManagerView,
  'GET /api/v1/dashboard/analytics/:teamId': getTagAnalytics,

  // Alerts
  'GET /api/v1/alerts/:userId': getUserAlerts,
  'GET /api/v1/alerts/team/:teamId': getTeamAlerts,

  // Configuration
  'GET /api/v1/config/thresholds': getThresholds,
  'PUT /api/v1/config/thresholds': updateThresholds
};

Tag Ingestion

// HEAT API: Tag ingestion endpoint
async function uploadTags(req: Request): Promise<Response> {
  const { tags, userId } = await req.json();

  // Validate tags
  const validTags = tags.filter(tag => validateTag(tag));

  if (validTags.length === 0) {
    return new Response(JSON.stringify({ error: 'No valid tags' }), { status: 400 });
  }

  // Store in database
  await db.tags.insertMany(
    validTags.map(tag => ({
      ...tag,
      userId,
      ingestedAt: Date.now(),
      processed: false
    }))
  );

  // Trigger async processing (streak detection, aggregation)
  await queueProcessing(userId, validTags);

  return new Response(JSON.stringify({
    accepted: validTags.length,
    rejected: tags.length - validTags.length
  }), { status: 200 });
}

function validateTag(tag: Tag): boolean {
  const validWorkTypes = ['Feature', 'Bug', 'Blocker', 'Support', 'Config', 'Research'];
  const validIntensity = tag.intensity >= 1 && tag.intensity <= 10;
  const hasTaskId = !!tag.taskId;

  return validWorkTypes.includes(tag.workType) && validIntensity && hasTaskId;
}

Streak Detection Engine

// HEAT API: Pain Streak Detection
class StreakEngine {
  async detectStreaks(userId: string, newTags: Tag[]): Promise<Streak[]> {
    const streaks: Streak[] = [];

    for (const tag of newTags) {
      const streak = await this.checkStreak(userId, tag);
      if (streak) {
        streaks.push(streak);

        // Alert if streak >= 3 days
        if (streak.count >= 3) {
          await this.createAlert(userId, streak);
        }
      }
    }

    return streaks;
  }

  private async checkStreak(userId: string, currentTag: Tag): Promise<Streak | null> {
    // Get yesterday's tags for same task
    const yesterday = new Date();
    yesterday.setDate(yesterday.getDate() - 1);
    yesterday.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);

    const yesterdayTags = await db.tags.find({
      userId,
      taskId: currentTag.taskId,
      workType: currentTag.workType,
      createdAt: {
        $gte: yesterday,
        $lt: new Date()
      }
    });

    if (yesterdayTags.length === 0) {
      // No streak, reset to 1
      return { taskId: currentTag.taskId, workType: currentTag.workType, count: 1 };
    }

    // Check if we already have a streak record
    const existingStreak = await db.streaks.findOne({
      userId,
      taskId: currentTag.taskId,
      workType: currentTag.workType,
      active: true
    });

    if (existingStreak) {
      // Increment existing streak
      existingStreak.count += 1;
      existingStreak.lastSeen = Date.now();
      await db.streaks.update(existingStreak);
      return existingStreak;
    } else {
      // Create new streak (day 2)
      const newStreak = {
        userId,
        taskId: currentTag.taskId,
        workType: currentTag.workType,
        count: 2, // Day 2 of streak
        startedAt: yesterday.getTime(),
        lastSeen: Date.now(),
        active: true
      };
      await db.streaks.insert(newStreak);
      return newStreak;
    }
  }

  private async createAlert(userId: string, streak: Streak): Promise<void> {
    await db.alerts.insert({
      userId,
      type: 'pain_streak',
      severity: streak.count >= 5 ? 'critical' : 'warning',
      message: `🔥 Pain Streak: ${streak.count} days on ${streak.taskId} (${streak.workType})`,
      taskId: streak.taskId,
      streakCount: streak.count,
      createdAt: Date.now(),
      dismissed: false
    });
  }
}

Intensity Aggregation

// HEAT API: Intensity Aggregation
class IntensityAggregator {
  async calculateDailyIntensity(userId: string, date: Date): Promise<DailyIntensity> {
    const startOfDay = new Date(date);
    startOfDay.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);

    const endOfDay = new Date(date);
    endOfDay.setHours(23, 59, 59, 999);

    const tags = await db.tags.find({
      userId,
      createdAt: {
        $gte: startOfDay,
        $lte: endOfDay
      }
    });

    const totalIntensity = tags.reduce((sum, tag) => sum + tag.intensity, 0);
    const color = this.getHeatmapColor(totalIntensity);

    return {
      date: date.toISOString(),
      totalIntensity,
      color,
      tagCount: tags.length,
      breakdown: this.calculateBreakdown(tags)
    };
  }

  private getHeatmapColor(intensity: number): string {
    if (intensity < 5) return 'cool';      // 🟦 Blue
    if (intensity < 15) return 'normal';   // 🟩 Green
    if (intensity < 30) return 'warm';     // 🟨 Amber
    return 'critical';                     // 🟥 Red
  }

  private calculateBreakdown(tags: Tag[]): Record<string, number> {
    const breakdown: Record<string, number> = {};

    for (const tag of tags) {
      breakdown[tag.workType] = (breakdown[tag.workType] || 0) + tag.intensity;
    }

    return breakdown;
  }
}

Layer 4: HEAT Dashboard (Visualization)

The dashboard presents three views from the same underlying data.

Dashboard Architecture

// HEAT Dashboard: Data flow
class DashboardController {
  async loadDeveloperView(userId: string, dateRange: DateRange): Promise<DeveloperView> {
    // Fetch daily intensities
    const dailyData = await api.get(`/dashboard/developer/${userId}`, { dateRange });

    // Fetch active streaks
    const streaks = await api.get(`/alerts/${userId}`, { type: 'pain_streak' });

    // Fetch tag distribution
    const tagDistribution = await api.get(`/tags/${userId}/distribution`, { dateRange });

    return {
      heatmap: this.buildHeatmap(dailyData),
      streaks: this.buildStreakCards(streaks),
      distribution: this.buildDistributionChart(tagDistribution)
    };
  }

  async loadManagerView(teamId: string, dateRange: DateRange): Promise<ManagerView> {
    // Fetch team heatmap
    const teamData = await api.get(`/dashboard/manager/${teamId}`, { dateRange });

    // Fetch team alerts
    const alerts = await api.get(`/alerts/team/${teamId}`);

    // Fetch bus factor analysis
    const busFactor = await api.get(`/analytics/bus-factor/${teamId}`, { dateRange });

    return {
      teamHeatmap: this.buildTeamHeatmap(teamData),
      alerts: this.buildAlertPanel(alerts),
      busFactor: this.buildBusFactorMap(busFactor)
    };
  }

  async loadTagAnalytics(teamId: string, dateRange: DateRange): Promise<TagAnalytics> {
    // Fetch global tag aggregation
    const tagData = await api.get(`/dashboard/analytics/${teamId}`, { dateRange });

    return {
      globalTrends: this.buildTrendChart(tagData),
      drillDown: this.buildDrillDownTable(tagData),
      comparisons: this.buildComparisonView(tagData)
    };
  }
}

---

Data Flow Example (End-to-End)

Let's trace a single tag from creation to dashboard:

Step 1: Developer Tags Work

Developer: Alice
Task: HEAT-42 "Implement pain streak algorithm"
Action: Clicks "Save Tag" in browser extension

Extension captures:
{
  taskId: "HEAT-42",
  taskTitle: "Implement pain streak algorithm",
  workType: "Feature",
  intensity: 5,
  userId: "[email protected]",
  timestamp: 1701360000000
}

Step 2: Local Cache + Sync

Browser Extension:
1. Writes to IndexedDB (instant)
2. Shows success feedback to Alice
3. Queues for sync to API

Background sync (5 min later):
1. Detects 1 unsynced tag
2. POSTs to /api/v1/tags
3. Marks as synced in IndexedDB

Step 3: API Processing

API receives tag:
1. Validates (workType valid? intensity 1-10?)
2. Stores in database
3. Triggers async processing:
   - Streak detection (is this day 2+ on same task?)
   - Intensity aggregation (what's Alice's total today?)
   - Alert generation (any warnings?)

Step 4: Streak Detection

Streak Engine checks:
- Did Alice tag HEAT-42 yesterday? → YES (Feature, x4)
- Does she have an active streak? → YES (count: 2)
- Increment: count = 3

Alert created:
{
  type: "pain_streak",
  severity: "warning",
  message: "🔥 Streak: 3 days on HEAT-42 (Feature)",
  userId: "[email protected]"
}

Step 5: Dashboard Updates

Alice's Developer View:
- Heatmap: Today shows 🟨 Amber (15 intensity total)
- Streaks: "🔥 Streak: 3 days on HEAT-42"
- Tag Distribution: Feature: 60%, Bug: 30%, Support: 10%

Manager's View:
- Team Heatmap: Alice row shows 🟨 Amber
- Alerts Panel: "Alice has 3-day streak on HEAT-42"
- Action suggestion: "Consider pairing or check-in"

Tag Analytics View:
- Global Feature intensity: +5 from Alice
- Team trend: Feature work stable
- No systemic spikes detected

Security & Privacy

Data Minimization

HEAT only collects work metadata, never actual work content:

Collected	NOT Collected
Task ID (PROJ-123)	Task description
Task Title (visible in PM tool)	Comments or activity logs
Work type tag (Feature, Bug, etc.)	Code commits or diffs
Intensity (x1-x10)	Time spent on task
Timestamp (when tagged)	Surveillance metrics

User Control

Opt-in tagging: Developers choose what to tag (not automatic) Local-first: Tags cached locally before sync Visibility: Developers see their own data first No surveillance: HEAT measures team health, not individual productivity

Data Encryption

// HEAT API: Data at rest encryption
const encryptedTag = await crypto.subtle.encrypt(
  { name: 'AES-GCM', iv: generateIV() },
  encryptionKey,
  JSON.stringify(tag)
);

// HEAT Extension: HTTPS-only communication
const response = await fetch('https://api.heat.yourdomain.com/tags', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${userToken}`
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ tags: encryptedTags })
});

Scaling Considerations

Small Teams (1-20 developers)

Architecture: Cloudflare Workers + D1 Cost: <$10/month Complexity: Low (serverless, zero ops)

Mid-Size (20-100 developers)

Architecture: Cloudflare Workers + D1 or Self-hosted Cost: $20-50/month (SaaS) or compute costs (self-hosted) Complexity: Low-medium

Large (100-500 developers)

Architecture: Self-hosted Kubernetes + PostgreSQL Cost: Compute + storage costs Complexity: Medium (requires DevOps) Considerations:

• Sharding by team or geography
• Read replicas for dashboards
• Background job queue for processing

Enterprise (500+ developers)

Architecture: Multi-region deployment Cost: Infrastructure + dedicated support Complexity: High Considerations:

• Regional data residency (GDPR)
• SSO integration (SAML, OIDC)
• Custom SLAs
• Dedicated instances
