# 🔌 Brainy 2.0 Augmentations Complete Reference

> **All 27 augmentations that power Brainy's extensibility - with locations, usage, and examples**

## Quick Start

```typescript
import { BrainyData } from '@soulcraft/brainy'

const brain = new BrainyData({
  // Augmentations auto-configure based on environment
  storage: 'auto',     // Storage augmentation
  cache: true,         // Cache augmentation
  index: true          // Index augmentation
})

await brain.init()  // Augmentations initialize automatically
```

## Core Concepts

### What are Augmentations?
Augmentations are modular extensions that add functionality to Brainy without cluttering the core API. They follow a unified interface and can be:
- **Auto-enabled**: Based on configuration (cache, index, storage)
- **Manually registered**: For custom functionality
- **Chained**: Multiple augmentations work together seamlessly

### Augmentation Lifecycle
1. **Registration**: Augmentations register before init()
2. **Initialization**: Two-phase init (storage first, then others)
3. **Execution**: Hook into operations (before/after/both)
4. **Shutdown**: Clean teardown on brain.shutdown()

## Augmentation Configuration

### Auto-Configuration
```typescript
const brain = new BrainyData({
  // These auto-register augmentations:
  storage: 'auto',        // Storage augmentation
  cache: true,           // Cache augmentation  
  index: true,           // Index augmentation
  metrics: true         // Metrics augmentation
})
```

### Manual Registration
```typescript
const brain = new BrainyData()

// Register before init()
const customAug = new MyCustomAugmentation()
await brain.registerAugmentation(customAug)

await brain.init()
```

### Creating Custom Augmentations
```typescript
import { BaseAugmentation } from '@soulcraft/brainy'

class MyAugmentation extends BaseAugmentation {
  readonly name = 'my-augmentation'
  readonly timing = 'after'  // before | after | both
  readonly operations = ['addNoun', 'search']  // Which ops to hook
  readonly priority = 10      // Execution order (lower = earlier)
  
  protected async onInit(): Promise<void> {
    // Initialize your augmentation
  }
  
  async execute<T>(
    operation: string,
    params: any,
    context?: AugmentationContext
  ): Promise<T | void> {
    // Your augmentation logic
    if (operation === 'addNoun') {
      console.log('Noun added:', params)
    }
  }
  
  protected async onShutdown(): Promise<void> {
    // Cleanup
  }
}
```

---

## Augmentation Timing & Priority

### Timing Options
- **`before`**: Runs before the operation (can modify params)
- **`after`**: Runs after the operation (can see results)
- **`both`**: Runs before AND after

### Priority (lower = earlier)
1. Storage augmentations (priority: 0)
2. Cache/Index augmentations (priority: 5-10)
3. Monitoring/Metrics (priority: 15-20)
4. Conduits/Synapses (priority: 20-30)

---

## Key Integration Points

### Where Augmentations Hook In

**BrainyData Constructor**:
- Storage augmentations register based on config
- Cache/Index augmentations auto-register if enabled

**brain.init()**:
- Two-phase initialization (storage first, then others)
- Augmentations can access brain instance via context

**Operations** (addNoun, search, etc.):
- Augmentations execute based on timing and operations filter
- Can modify params (before) or see results (after)

**brain.shutdown()**:
- All augmentations cleaned up in reverse order

---

## Performance Impact

Most augmentations have minimal overhead:
- **Cache**: ~1ms per search (saves 10-100ms on hits)
- **Index**: ~1ms per operation (saves 100ms+ on queries)
- **Metrics**: <1ms per operation
- **Storage**: Varies by adapter (memory: 0ms, S3: 50-200ms)

---

## Best Practices

1. **Let auto-configuration work**: Most apps need zero manual config
2. **Storage first**: Always configure storage before other augmentations
3. **Use built-in augmentations**: They're optimized and battle-tested
4. **Custom augmentations**: Extend BaseAugmentation for consistency
5. **Respect timing**: Use 'before' to modify, 'after' to observe
6. **Mind priority**: Lower numbers execute first

---

## Troubleshooting

### Augmentation not working?
```typescript
// Check if registered
brain.listAugmentations()

// Check if enabled
brain.isAugmentationEnabled('cache')

// Enable/disable at runtime
brain.enableAugmentation('cache')
brain.disableAugmentation('cache')
```

### Performance issues?
```typescript
// Check augmentation overhead
const stats = brain.getStatistics()
console.log(stats.augmentations)

// Disable non-critical augmentations
brain.disableAugmentation('monitoring')
```
