🚀 Next Steps

1. Apply Database Migration ⏳

Run in Supabase Dashboard SQL Editor:

# Navigate to: https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/kmdeisowhtsalsekkzqd/sql
# Copy content from: supabase/migrations/20260110130000_gameforge_integration.sql
# Execute migration

2. Test GameForge Integration ⏳

# Test project provisioning
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/gameforge/projects \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-GameForge-API-Key: gameforge-dev-key-12345" \
  -H "X-GameForge-Signature: <signature>" \
  -H "X-GameForge-Timestamp: <timestamp>" \
  -d '{
    "projectId": "test-project-1",
    "name": "Test Game",
    "ownerId": "user-id",
    "ownerIdentifier": "test@dev.aethex.dev",
    "teamMembers": [],
    "settings": {
      "autoProvisionChannels": true,
      "defaultChannels": ["general", "dev"]
    }
  }'

3. Integrate with GameForge Codebase ⏳

Follow examples in docs/GAMEFORGE-EXAMPLES.md:

• Add project creation hooks
• Implement team member sync
• Set up system notifications
• Test embedded chat component

4. Deploy to Production ⏳

• Update environment variables with production keys
• Deploy backend with GameForge routes
• Test authentication flow end-to-end
• Monitor audit logs for operations

🧪 Testing Checklist

Manual Testing

• Create GameForge project → Channels auto-created
• Add team member → Added to appropriate channels
• Remove team member → Removed from all channels
• Change member role → Channel access updated
• Send message in channel → Delivered to all participants
• Build notification → Appears in dev channel
• Custom channel creation → Works with permissions
• Archive project → All channels archived
• Role-based access → Artists can't see dev channel

Integration Testing

• Test signature generation and validation
• Verify timestamp expiration (5-minute window)
• Test invalid API key rejection
• Verify role-based channel filtering
• Test system notification formatting
• Verify audit log creation

📈 Performance Considerations

Database Indexes

All critical queries indexed:

• gameforge_integrations.project_id (UNIQUE)
• conversations.gameforge_project_id (WHERE clause)
• conversations.is_archived (filtering)
• audit_logs (user_id, created_at, resource_type)

Recommended Caching

• Project channel lists (TTL: 5 minutes)
• Team member roles (TTL: 10 minutes)
• Channel permissions (TTL: 15 minutes)

Scaling Strategy

• Use Redis pub/sub for system notifications
• Implement message queue for bulk operations
• Add read replicas for channel list queries
