Joseph B. McQueen 2b37c4b24f Phase 8: extract pure helpers into lib/ and cover with node:test
- Move buildingKey, jobsForApp, getBotToken, isBotEnabled, getBotConfig,
  isAuthorized, getOAuthRedirectUri, buildAuthUrl, cleanCompletedJobs,
  and msToTime into lib/helpers.js as state-free functions that accept
  config, botTokens, or env as parameters. COMPLETED_RETENTION_DAYS also
  lives there so callers and tests share the constant.
- Replace the bodies in index.js with thin wrappers that pass the module-
  level state into the pure helpers. Call sites and behavior are
  unchanged; index.js shrinks by ~60 lines.
- Move the cleanCompletedJobs logging into the cron caller so the pure
  helper returns a result object (jobs, removed, cutoff) that tests can
  assert on without capturing stdout.
- Add test/helpers.test.js with 43 assertions across 10 suites covering
  the enable/disable gating, per-bot draft isolation, authorization,
  OAuth URL construction, retention filter (including endTime -> startTime
  -> created fallback and the safety default for jobs missing a
  timestamp), and the duration formatter.
- Wire `npm test` to `node --test test/*.test.js` (no new deps, uses the
  built-in node:test runner) and document it in the README.

Smoke test confirms unchanged HTTP behavior for /info (known + unknown
bots), the requireBot 404 gate, and the 401 path on jobs/list/completed.

# CollabCentral
A multi-bot mass-messaging service for Webex. Each bot has its own token,
avatar, label, and per-user access list, and users can only see the bots
and jobs they're authorized on.
Under one server you can host any number of bots (Novi, TechUpdates, …) —
each one exposes the same UI at:
- `/CollabCentral/<botName>/sendMessage.html` — compose and send.
- `/CollabCentral/<botName>/monitorJobs.html` — track running / scheduled / completed jobs.
- `/CollabCentral/<botName>/jobDetail.html?jobId=…` — detailed per-job view.
## Requirements
- Node.js 20+.
- A single Webex integration used for OAuth on all bots.
- A Webex service account (used server-side for group/people lookups; its
refresh token is stored in `config/token.json` and rotated automatically).
- One Webex bot per app you want to host.
## Quick start (local)
1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in the values:
```
SERVER_PORT=1450
CRON_TIMEZONE=America/New_York
OAUTH_CALLBACK_URL_TEMPLATE=https://bot.example.com/CollabCentral/:app/oauth
WEBEX_INTEGRATION_CLIENT_ID=...
WEBEX_INTEGRATION_CLIENT_SECRET=...
WEBEX_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CLIENT_ID=...
WEBEX_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CLIENT_SECRET=...
GOOGLE_TRANSLATE_API_KEY=...
```
2. Copy `config/botTokens.example.json` to `config/botTokens.json` and put
in the bot tokens for each app:
```json
{
"novi": { "token": "…", "enabled": true },
"techupdates": { "token": "…", "enabled": true }
}
```
3. Create `config/token.json` with the initial service-account OAuth tokens
(access + refresh). After the first refresh, the cron job rewrites this
file automatically.
4. Install dependencies and start:
```
npm install
npm start
```
`npm start` uses `node --env-file=.env`, so no external process manager is
required to load env vars during local development.
## Adding a new bot
Say you want to add a bot called `alerts`.
1. **Webex bot** — create the bot at developer.webex.com. Copy its access token.
2. **Bot token** — add an entry to `config/botTokens.json`:
```json
"alerts": { "token": "<bot access token>", "enabled": true }
```
Setting `enabled: false` will keep the bot listed but return 404 for all
`/CollabCentral/alerts/*` routes.
3. **Bot metadata + authorized users** — edit `config/config.json` and add
an entry under `webex.bot`:
```json
"alerts": {
"label": "Ops Alerts",
"authorized": {
"<webexPersonId>": {
"id": "<webexPersonId>",
"displayName": "…",
"email": "…",
"avatar": "…",
"groups": [ { "name": "…", "alias": "…", "id": "<webexGroupId>" } ]
}
}
}
```
Only person IDs listed under `authorized` can log into that bot's UI.
4. **Icons** — drop `alerts.png` and `alerts.ico` into `html/` (they're
served by the per-bot static mount).
5. **OAuth redirect URI** — in the Webex integration used for OAuth, register
`https://<your-host>/CollabCentral/alerts/oauth` as an allowed redirect
URI. Without this step, users get an OAuth error on login.
6. Restart the server (or the container). The bot's avatar is fetched once
at startup via Webex `/people/me` using the token you supplied in step 2.
## Docker
`Dockerfile` builds a stateless image. Config, tokens, uploads, and jobs
data are expected to be mounted at runtime.
```
docker build -t collabcentral .
docker run -d \
--name collabcentral \
--env-file /path/to/.env \
-v /path/to/config:/usr/src/app/config \
-v /path/to/uploads:/usr/src/app/uploads \
-p 1450:1450 \
collabcentral
```
The `config/` mount should contain at minimum `config.json`, `botTokens.json`,
`token.json`, `languages.json`, and (if you want to preserve state)
`jobs.json` and `userPrefs.json`.
## File layout
Committed to the repo:
- `index.js` — Express server, OAuth, cron jobs, Webex API integration,
and the send queue.
- `html/` — frontend (sendMessage / monitorJobs / jobDetail pages, per-bot
icons, shared JS libraries).
- `config/config.json` — server settings, per-bot labels, and the
authorized-user table for each bot.
- `config/languages.json` — supported translation languages.
- `config/botTokens.example.json` — template for `botTokens.json`.
- `.env.example` — template for `.env`.
- `Dockerfile`, `.dockerignore`, `.gitignore`, `package.json`,
`package-lock.json`.
Runtime state (gitignored, not committed):
- `.env` — secrets and deployment-specific URLs.
- `config/botTokens.json` — per-bot access tokens.
- `config/token.json` — service-account OAuth tokens (rotated by the
refresh cron).
- `config/jobs.json` — building / running / scheduled / completed jobs.
- `config/userPrefs.json` — per-user preferences (language, etc.).
- `uploads/` — CSVs of recipient IDs and any attached images.
## Testing
Unit tests for the pure helpers extracted into `lib/helpers.js` run under
Node's built-in test runner — no additional dev dependencies required.
```
npm test
```
The suite covers bot enable/disable gating (`getBotToken`, `isBotEnabled`,
`getBotConfig`), per-bot draft isolation (`buildingKey`, `jobsForApp`), the
authorization check (`isAuthorized`), OAuth URL construction (`buildAuthUrl`,
`getOAuthRedirectUri`), the retention filter (`cleanCompletedJobs`), and the
duration formatter (`msToTime`). Adding a new helper? Add it to `lib/helpers.js`
and cover it in `test/helpers.test.js` — keeping the state-carrying wrappers
in `index.js` thin means each helper can be tested without booting the server.
## Behavior notes
- **Completed-job retention**: the daily cleanup cron (default `01:10` in
`CRON_TIMEZONE`) drops entries from `jobs.completed` older than 30 days.
Change `COMPLETED_RETENTION_DAYS` in `index.js` to adjust.
- **Send concurrency**: a shared `p-queue` limits outbound Webex sends to
10 in-flight requests.
- **Rate limiting**: `fetchWithRateLimit` transparently retries on Webex 429
responses honoring `Retry-After`.
- **Per-bot job isolation**: draft jobs are keyed by `cookieId + appName`,
and job list / detail endpoints filter by `appName`, so authorized users
of one bot never see another bot's jobs.
