Cloud Point RPC Agent Guide

This repository contains a C++23 implementation of a JSON RPC protocol for communicating with a Unity Scene. Agents working on this codebase must adhere to the following guidelines and conventions.

1. Build, Lint, and Test

The project uses the Meson build system.

Build Commands

• Setup Build Directory:

  meson setup build
  

• Compile:

  meson compile -C build
  

• Clean:

  meson compile --clean -C build
  

Testing

• Run All Tests:

  meson test -C build
  

• Run Specific Test: To run a single test suite or case, use the test name defined in meson.build:

  meson test -C build <test_name>
  

  Example: meson test -C build unit_tests

• Verbose Output:

  meson test -C build -v
  

Linting & Formatting

• Format Code: Use clang-format with the project's configuration (assumed Google style if not present).

  ninja -C build clang-format
  # OR manual execution
  find src include tests -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.hpp" | xargs clang-format -i
  

• Static Analysis: If configured, run clang-tidy:

  ninja -C build clang-tidy
  

2. Code Style & Conventions

Adhere strictly to Modern C++23 standards.

General Guidelines

• Standard: C++23. Use concepts, ranges, std::expected, and smart pointers. Avoid raw new/delete.
• Memory Management: Use std::unique_ptr and std::shared_ptr.
• Const Correctness: Use const (and constexpr/consteval) whenever possible.
• Includes: Use absolute paths for project headers (e.g., #include "rpc/server.hpp").
• Auto: Use auto when the type is obvious from the right-hand side or is a complex template type.

Naming Conventions

• Files: snake_case.cpp, snake_case.hpp.
• Classes/Structs: PascalCase.
• Functions/Methods: snake_case.
• Variables: snake_case.
• Private Members: snake_case_ (trailing underscore).
• Constants: kPascalCase or ALL_CAPS for macros.
• Namespaces: score (primary project namespace).
• Interfaces: IPascalCase.

Project Structure

• include/cloud_point_rpc/: Public header files (RPC server/client, TCP, config, serialization, coder, DTOs).
• include/cloud_point/: OpenCV compute library headers (StereoRectifier, PointCloudBuilder, CloudPointClient). Optional; requires opencv4.
• src/: Implementation files and executable entrypoints.
• src/cloud_point/: OpenCV compute library implementation (optional, requires opencv4).
• tests/: Unit and integration tests.
• subprojects/: Meson wrap files for dependencies.
• meson.build: Build configuration.

Error Handling

• Use Exceptions (std::runtime_error, std::invalid_argument) for invariant violations and logical errors.
• Use std::optional or std::expected for recoverable runtime errors.
• JSON RPC Errors: Ensure all RPC handlers catch exceptions and return valid JSON-RPC error objects containing code, message, and data.

Documentation

• Use Doxygen style comments for public APIs.
• Document thread safety guarantees.

Example Class

namespace score {

/// @brief Manages camera parameters.
class CameraController {
 public:
  struct Config {
    int width;
    int height;
  };

  explicit CameraController(const Config& config);
  
  /// @brief Retrieves current intrinsic parameters.
  /// @return A 3x3 matrix.
  [[nodiscard]] std::vector<double> get_intrinsic_params() const;

 private:
  Config config_;
  mutable std::mutex mutex_;
  std::vector<double> cached_intrinsics_;
};

} // namespace score

Implementation Details

• JSON Library: Use nlohmann/json (likely via subprojects/nlohmann_json.wrap).
• Concurrency: Use std::jthread (auto-joining) over std::thread.
• Error handling: Use std::expected<T, E> (C++23) for recoverable errors in the cloud_point compute library.
• RPC Methods (served by Unity or the C++ mock in server_main.cpp):
  • get-available-methods — list registered method names.
  • get-stereo-calibration — full stereo rig calibration (intrinsics, R, T, image size).
  • get-image-pair — synchronised stereo frame as two base64-encoded images.
  • get-intrinsic-params (legacy) — left-camera intrinsic matrix (9 doubles).
  • get-extrinsic-params (legacy) — left-camera extrinsic matrix (16 doubles).
  • Ensure thread safety if the RPC server is multi-threaded.

3. Workflow & Git

Commit Messages

• Use conventional commits format: <type>(<scope>): <subject>
  • Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore.
  • Example: feat(rpc): add handler for get-cloud-point

Pull Requests

• Ensure meson test -C build passes before requesting review.
• Keep PRs small and focused on a single logical change.

4. Cursor & Copilot Rules

(No specific rules found in .cursor/rules/ or .github/copilot-instructions.md.)

• Context: Always read related header files before modifying source files.
• Verification: Write unit tests for new features in tests/.
• Refactoring: When refactoring, ensure existing behavior is preserved via tests.
• Dependencies: Do not introduce new dependencies without updating meson.build and subprojects/.
