[Research]: Evaludate adding command line arguments, bundle an mqtt server and supporting commands/actions in our mqtt implementation

[IsmaelMartinez]

Add architectural decision records and research documentation:

• ADR-0001: Decision to keep yargs for CLI parsing

  • Evaluated yargs vs commander.js vs CLI action commands
  • Decided to stick with yargs and use MQTT for actions instead
  • Avoids fragile CLI parsing and breaking meeting links

• ADR-0002: Decision to not bundle embedded MQTT broker

  • Evaluated bundling Aedes broker in Electron app
  • Rejected due to still requiring client tools (mosquitto_pub)
  • Better alternatives exist (HTTP server, external broker)

• Research: MQTT Commands Implementation

  • Comprehensive analysis of adding bidirectional MQTT support
  • Implementation plan: 4-6 hours, ~60 lines of code, low risk
  • User setup guide, security considerations, broker recommendations
  • Enables keyboard shortcuts and home automation integration

These documents provide context for future MQTT command implementation.

Summary of Changes

Hello @IsmaelMartinez, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces comprehensive documentation outlining key architectural decisions and a detailed research plan for enhancing the application's command and control capabilities. It formalizes the strategy for CLI argument handling, explains the rationale behind not embedding an MQTT broker, and lays the groundwork for implementing robust bidirectional MQTT communication to support external integrations.

Highlights

• CLI Argument Parsing Strategy: A decision was made to continue using yargs for CLI argument parsing, opting to handle action commands via MQTT instead of implementing complex CLI subcommands.
• Embedded MQTT Broker Rejection: The proposal to bundle an embedded MQTT broker (Aedes) was rejected due to minimal user benefit, architectural concerns, and the existence of superior alternatives for command execution.
• Bidirectional MQTT Command Implementation Plan: Detailed research and an implementation plan for adding bidirectional MQTT support were documented, enabling external systems to send commands to the application for features like keyboard shortcuts and home automation.

Code Review

This pull request introduces comprehensive documentation in the form of Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) and a research paper for implementing MQTT-based commands. The documents are well-structured, detailed, and provide clear rationale for the design choices, such as sticking with yargs and not embedding an MQTT broker. My review focuses on ensuring the proposed implementation plan in the research document is robust and secure. I have one suggestion to improve error handling in the proposed code to prevent potential crashes from malformed MQTT messages.
