🔍 Terminology Note

BSS (Battery Swap Service) refers to the service model in this repository, defining operational and technical implementation (workflows, FSMs, agents).

Participants in the BSS ecosystem include: - BCS (Battery Circulation Service): Asset provider managing battery assets - SNS (Swap Network Service): Network operator managing stations and customers

Financial modeling of BCS and SNS as business units is handled separately in the BUFM (Business Unit Financial Model) framework.

Architecture Overview

Service-Specific Payment Enhancement

Key Innovation: Enhanced payment processing for multi-service bundles with separate ledger tracking

Service Payment Allocation

  • Service-Specific Payments: Payments must specify target service since ServicePlan contains multiple bundle services
  • Quota Calculation: Payment amount divided by unit price determines quota increment
  • Payment Event Structure: Complete payment allocation details with service targeting
  • MQTT Coordination: emit/abs/bss/payment/{plan_id}/service_payment pattern

Top-up as Service Events

  • Service Event Recording: Top-ups recorded as separate service events representing "I have topped up your service by this amount"
  • Separate Ledger Entries: Payment events and service events maintained in separate ledgers
  • Quota Management: Real-time quota updates with before/after tracking
  • Service Event Topics: emit/abs/bss/service/{service_id}/topup_applied pattern

Implementation Status

  • Workflow Documentation Enhanced: Service payment structures defined in bss-serviceState-workflow.md
  • Blueprint Created: Developer implementation guide in service-payment-implementation-blueprint.md
  • Function Specifications: processServiceSpecificPayment and recordTopupServiceEvent specifications defined
  • 🔧 Agent Implementation: Blueprint ready for developer clean implementation (compilation issues require cleanup first)

FSM Signal Compression Architecture

Key Principle: Service agent compresses "noisy external signals" to fundamental signals and state transitions, NOT pass them into FSMs.

Fundamental FSM Inputs (8 signals)

  • Service Cycle: DEPOSIT_CONFIRMED, BATTERY_ISSUED, BATTERY_RETURNED, BATTERY_LOST, BATTERY_FOUND, SERVICE_CANCELLED, ASSET_SETTLEMENT_COMPLETE, CONTINUE_SERVICE_REQUESTED
  • Payment Cycle: CONTRACT_SIGNED, DEPOSIT_PAID, RENEWAL_PAID, SUBSCRIPTION_EXPIRED, QUOTA_EXHAUSTED, FINAL_PAYMENT_DUE, FINAL_PAYMENT_PAID

External Signal Compression

Service agent processes complex external events (W1-W5 workflows, MQTT, Odoo, personnel validation) and compresses them into fundamental FSM inputs, maintaining O(1) FSM performance while providing rich operational signals for external systems.

W1-W5 Rider Workflow Implementation

Functions: getRequiredAssetIds, emitServiceIntentSignal, bindCustomerToLocation, sendAssetAllocationSignal, updateServiceStatesAndBilling

Key Features: - W1: Fleet dependency resolution → returns fleet IDs for ARM microservice - W2: Service intent MQTT emission → customer/location notification
- W3: Customer-location binding → session establishment - W4: Fleet allocation signals → ARM handles asset-specific allocation - W5: Service state updates → battery assignments, quota tracking, billing

Architecture Compliance: BSS Agent works with fleet IDs only; ARM resolves to specific assets

Key Corrections Applied: - Before: BSS Agent returned specific asset IDs (cabinet_001, station_002) - After: BSS Agent returns fleet IDs (fleet-swap-stations-nairobi) → ARM resolves to specific assets - Result: Proper separation of concerns, scalability, flexibility, maintainability

Enhanced Agent Architecture v2

  • Single Delegation Function: serviceAgent as unified entry point
  • Signal Compression: Agent handles external complexity, emits fundamental FSM signals
  • Centralized State Management: AgentStateManager for type-safe operations
  • Model-Confined Types: BSSAgentState interface within agent module
  • Registry Compatibility: Maintains functional dependency injection pattern

📋 Implementation Status

FSM Architecture - Payment cycle (7 inputs) + Service cycle (8 inputs) with fundamental signal compression ✅ Enhanced Agent v2 - Single delegation function with centralized state management
W1-W5 Rider Workflow - Complete implementation with ABS-ARM boundary compliance ✅ Schema Aligned - All setup data matches corrected GraphQL schema ✅ Documentation Updated - All diagrams and docs reflect signal compression architecture
