AI Troubleshooting Framework - Quaex Industrial Platform

Systematic Approach for Uniform Industrial Platform (UIP) Development & Maintenance

Quaex Mission: Build a 50-year longevity industrial platform serving enterprise 360° requirements through modular, scalable, and secure systems integrating ERP, MES, SCADA, IoT, and AI copilots.

🎯 CORE PRINCIPLES (QUAEX-ALIGNED)

Search and Understand First - Never change without complete analysis (Industrial Compliance Requirement)
Thread Analysis - Map all connected dependencies before modification (ERP/MES/SCADA Integration Safety)
Disciplined Process - Follow structured methodology to avoid cascading errors (50-Year Longevity Requirement)
Preserve Working Systems - Never break what already functions (Production System Stability)
Step-by-Step Verification - Validate before/after effects of every change (Audit Trail & Traceability)

📋 PHASE 1: SYSTEMATIC PROBLEM ANALYSIS (QUAEX UIP CONTEXT)

1.1 Initial Assessment - Industrial Platform Requirements

# Quaex-specific health checks BEFORE any changes:
flutter doctor -v                    # Development environment
flutter --version                   # Framework version (must support 50-year evolution)
dart --version                      # Language compatibility
flutter analyze                     # Static analysis (security/compliance)
flutter test --reporter expanded    # Quality assurance (industrial standards)

# Additional Quaex platform checks:
# - Supabase connection health (backend API)
# - Module interdependencies (Finance, HR, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Analytics, Copilot)
# - Security compliance (encryption, audit logging)
# - Integration points (ERP, MES, SCADA, IoT readiness)

1.2 Evidence Collection - Industrial Context

Read all error messages completely - Critical for industrial compliance logging
Check logs chronologically - Required for audit trail and traceability
Document current working state - Map functioning modules (Finance, HR, Manufacturing, etc.)
Map dependency tree - Chart connections between core modules and external systems
Identify root cause vs symptoms - Essential for production system stability
Assess impact on 7 core modules - Finance, HR, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Analytics, Copilot Intelligence

1.3 Quaex Impact Analysis Matrix

Problem → Direct Effects → Cascade Effects → Connected Systems → Module Impact
   ↓
   Severity: Critical/High/Medium/Low (Industrial Standard)
   ↓
   Affected Modules: [Finance/HR/Manufacturing/Supply Chain/Quality/Analytics/Copilot]
   ↓
   External System Impact: [ERP/MES/SCADA/IoT/Cloud APIs]
   ↓
   Compliance Risk: [Security/Audit/Regulatory]
   ↓
   Required Changes: [Minimal set with rollback plan]

🔍 PHASE 2: THREAD ANALYSIS & DEPENDENCY MAPPING (QUAEX MODULE ARCHITECTURE)

2.1 Quaex Module Dependency Chain Analysis

Before changing ANY component in the Uniform Industrial Platform:

# Check Quaex module interdependencies:
flutter pub deps                                    # Flutter/Dart dependencies
grep -r "import.*finance" src/modules/              # Finance module connections
grep -r "import.*hr" src/modules/                  # HR module connections
grep -r "import.*manufacturing" src/modules/        # Manufacturing connections
grep -r "import.*supply" src/modules/              # Supply Chain connections
grep -r "import.*quality" src/modules/             # Quality module connections
grep -r "import.*analytics" src/modules/           # Analytics connections
grep -r "import.*copilot" src/modules/             # AI Copilot connections

# Check external system integration points:
find . -name "*.dart" -exec grep -l "supabase\|ERP\|MES\|SCADA\|IoT" {} \;

2.2 Quaex Connected Thread Identification

For each proposed change in the industrial platform, document:

Core Module Dependencies: Which of the 7 modules (Finance, HR, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Analytics, Copilot) are affected?
External System Dependencies: What ERP/MES/SCADA/IoT integrations rely on this?
Security Dependencies: What encryption, audit logging, or compliance features depend on this?
UI/UX Dependencies: Which shadcn/ui components and dashboards are impacted?
Data Dependencies: What master data management (MDM) elements are affected?
AI Copilot Dependencies: Which predictive/automation features rely on this component?

Step 2: Immediate Validation - Quaex Platform

# After each change, run Quaex-specific validation:
flutter pub get                    # Dependency resolution
flutter analyze                    # Static analysis (security/compliance)
flutter test                      # Quality assurance testing
# Validate specific Quaex functionality affected:
# - Module integration integrity
# - Security/encryption compliance
# - External system connectivity
# - AI Copilot functionality
# - Master data management consistency

Step 3: Quaex Cascade Effect Check

Verify all identified module threads still work
Run integration tests with external systems (if available)
Check configuration files are still valid
Validate security compliance maintained
Confirm AI Copilot workflows unaffected
Test master data management integrity

3.3 Industrial Rollback Decision Tree
