# Feature Summary
## ✅ Completed Features
### 1. Recursive Path Search 🔍
- **Location**: Dashboard → "🔍 Search" button
- **Functionality**:
- Recursively searches through vault paths
- Configurable search depth to prevent infinite loops
- Configurable maximum results
- Case-insensitive partial matching
- Distinguishes between directories (📁) and secrets (📄)
- **Performance**:
- Search time displayed
- Results cached automatically
- Non-blocking UI during search
### 2. Smart Caching System 💾
- **Location**: Implemented globally, managed in Settings
- **Features**:
- Caches all API responses (list and read operations)
- Configurable cache size limit (MB)
- Configurable expiration time (minutes)
- Automatic size enforcement with LRU eviction
- Cache key format: `{serverId}:{operation}:{path}`
- **Statistics**:
- Real-time cache size monitoring
- Entry count tracking
- Oldest/newest entry timestamps
- Manual cache clearing
### 3. Configuration System ⚙️
- **Location**: Dashboard → "⚙️ Settings" button
- **Cache Configuration**:
- Enable/disable caching
- Max cache size (1-100 MB, default: 10 MB)
- Cache expiration (1-1440 minutes, default: 30 min)
- **Search Configuration**:
- Max search depth (1-50, default: 10)
- Max search results (10-10000, default: 1000)
- **Persistence**: All settings saved to localStorage
### 4. Vault API Client 🔌
- **Location**: `src/services/vaultApi.ts`
- **Implemented Endpoints**:
-`listSecrets()` - LIST endpoint with caching
-`readSecret()` - GET endpoint with caching
-`searchPaths()` - Recursive search with depth control
- **Features**:
- Automatic cache integration
- Error handling
- Path normalization
- Support for multiple auth methods
### 5. Cache Manager 🗄️
- **Location**: `src/utils/cache.ts`
- **Capabilities**:
- localStorage-based persistence
- Size calculation and enforcement
- Age-based expiration
- LRU eviction when quota exceeded
- Cleanup of expired entries
- Statistics collection
- **Methods**:
- `get<T>(key)` - Retrieve with expiration check
- `set<T>(key, data)` - Store with size calculation
- `has(key)` - Check existence
- `delete(key)` - Remove entry
- `clear()` - Remove all entries
- `getStats()` - Get cache statistics
- `cleanup()` - Remove expired entries
### 6. Settings UI 🎛️
- **Location**: `src/components/Settings.tsx`
- **Features**:
- Modal overlay interface
- Real-time cache statistics
- Form validation
- Immediate save and apply
- Responsive design
### 7. Search UI 🔎
- **Location**: `src/components/PathSearch.tsx`
- **Features**:
- Base path configuration
- Search term input with Enter key support
- Loading spinner during search
- Search statistics (results count, time taken)
- Clickable results for secrets
- Visual distinction of directories vs secrets
- Depth indicator for each result
- Helpful search tips
## 🎨 UI/UX Enhancements
### Dashboard Updates
- Added action button group (Search, Settings, Logout)
- Toggle search panel visibility
- Integrated settings modal
- Improved responsive layout
### Visual Feedback
- Loading states for all async operations
- Progress indicators during search
- Success/error messages
- Cache statistics display
- Search result highlighting
## 🔒 Security Features
### Data Protection
- ✅ Credentials never cached or persisted
- ✅ Only in-memory storage during session
- ✅ Server configurations saved securely
- ✅ Cache can be manually cleared
- ⚠️ Cached data includes secret values (cleared on logout recommended)
### DDoS Prevention
- ✅ Configurable cache prevents repeat API calls
- ✅ Search depth limits prevent runaway recursion
- ✅ Result limits prevent memory exhaustion
- ✅ Automatic size enforcement prevents quota issues
## 📊 Performance Optimizations
### Caching Strategy
1. **Cache Hit**: Instant response from localStorage
2. **Cache Miss**: API call + cache storage
3. **Cache Expiration**: Automatic refresh after configured time
4. **Cache Eviction**: LRU algorithm when size limit reached
### Search Optimization
1. **Early Exit**: Stops at max results or depth
2. **Parallel Operations**: Could be enhanced with Promise.all
3. **Progress Feedback**: Non-blocking UI
4. **Cached Paths**: Subsequent searches of same paths are instant

## 🧪 Testing Recommendations
### Manual Testing Checklist
- [ ] Add/remove vault servers
- [ ] Connect with token auth
- [ ] Read a secret directly
- [ ] Perform recursive search
- [ ] Verify cache hit (check console logs)
- [ ] Adjust cache settings
- [ ] Clear cache
- [ ] View cache statistics
- [ ] Test search depth limits
- [ ] Test result limits
- [ ] Test with expired cache
- [ ] Test with full localStorage
- [ ] Test responsive design
- [ ] Test logout (clears session but not cache)
### Edge Cases to Test
- [ ] Search with no results
- [ ] Search at max depth
- [ ] Search at max results
- [ ] Very large cache size
- [ ] Very small cache size
- [ ] Cache expiration edge cases
- [ ] localStorage quota exceeded
- [ ] CORS errors
- [ ] Network errors
- [ ] Invalid paths
- [ ] Invalid credentials
## 🔮 Future Enhancements
### Potential Additions
1. **Auto-clear cache on logout** (currently requires manual clear)
2. **Cache encryption** for sensitive data
3. **Parallel search** with Promise.all for better performance
4. **Search filters** (directories only, secrets only, etc.)
5. **Search history** saved in localStorage
6. **Export/import settings**
7. **Secret writing/updating**
8. **Secret deletion**
