# Session Replay Implementation - Complete ✅

**Bead:** bd-3k9
**Task:** P4-001: Session Replay
**Status:** Completed ✓

## Overview

Successfully implemented the session replay feature for FABRIC, allowing users to replay worker activity history chronologically with full playback controls.

## Implementation Details

### 1. Core Component (Already Existed)
- **File:** `src/tui/components/SessionReplay.ts`
- Full-featured replay component with:
  - Event loading from files or arrays
  - Playback controls (play, pause, step forward/backward)
  - Speed control (0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x)
  - Timeline visualization with progress bar
  - Event filtering (worker, level, bead, path, time range)
  - Keyboard shortcuts for all controls

### 2. Comprehensive Unit Tests ✨ NEW
- **File:** `src/tui/components/SessionReplay.test.ts`
- **55 comprehensive tests** covering:
  - Initialization
  - Event loading (from array and files)
  - Filtering (worker, level, bead, path, time range)
  - Playback controls (play, pause, toggle, reset)
  - Navigation (step, seek, jump, percentage)
  - Speed control (increase, decrease, set)
  - Progress tracking
  - Time range calculations
  - Event callbacks
  - UI state management
  - Edge cases (empty events, single event, malformed JSON)
  - Cleanup and resource management

**Test Results:** ✅ All 55 tests passing

### 3. TUI Integration ✨ NEW
- **File:** `src/tui/app.ts`
- Integrated SessionReplay into main TUI application
- Added 'R' hotkey to toggle session replay view
- Features:
  - Loads all current events from store
  - Dynamic footer showing playback state
  - Seamless view switching with Escape key
  - Updated help overlay with replay instructions

### 4. CLI Command (Already Existed)
- **File:** `src/cli.ts`
- Standalone replay command: `fabric replay`
- Options:
  - `-f, --file <path>` - Log file to replay
  - `-w, --worker <id>` - Filter by worker
  - `-l, --level <level>` - Filter by log level
  - `-s, --speed <speed>` - Playback speed
  - `--auto` - Auto-start playback

## Usage

### From TUI
```bash
# Launch FABRIC TUI
fabric tui

# Press 'R' to enter session replay mode
# Use controls:
#   Space     - Play/Pause
#   ←/→       - Step backward/forward
#   ↑/↓       - Speed up/down
#   1-5       - Set speed (0.5x-10x)
#   Home/End  - Jump to start/end
#   r         - Reset to beginning
#   Esc       - Return to main view
```

### Standalone
```bash
# Replay entire log file
fabric replay -f ~/.needle/logs/workers.log

# Filter by worker and auto-start
fabric replay -f workers.log -w w-abc123 --auto

# Filter by level and set speed
fabric replay -f workers.log -l error -s 5
```

## Key Features

✅ **Load events from multiple sources**
- From log files (with path expansion)
- From event arrays (in-memory)
- From store (TUI integration)

✅ **Advanced filtering**
- By worker ID
- By log level (debug, info, warn, error)
- By bead/task ID
- By file path
- By time range (since/until)
- Combine multiple filters

✅ **Playback controls**
- Play/pause with state management
- Step forward/backward one event at a time
- Jump to start/end
- Seek to specific index or percentage
- Variable speed (0.5x to 10x)

✅ **Visual feedback**
- Timeline progress bar with percentage
- Current/total event counters
- Playback state indicator (playing, paused, ended)
- Formatted event display with colors
- Time range display

✅ **Keyboard shortcuts**
- Space/p: Play/Pause
- Left/Right arrows: Step backward/forward
- Up/Down arrows: Speed up/down
- Home/End: Jump to start/end
- 1-5: Quick speed selection
- r: Reset to beginning

## Export/Import Functionality ✨

### Export Formats

#### 1. File Export (.fabric-replay)
- **Format:** JSON file with versioned schema
- **Location:** `~/Downloads/session-YYYY-MM-DD.fabric-replay`
- **Command:** `>export file` (via command palette Ctrl+K)
- **TUI Handler:** `handleExportToFile()` in `src/tui/app.ts`
- **Web Handler:** Export button in SessionReplay component

```json
{
  "version": "1.0",
  "exportedAt": 1709337600000,
  "eventCount": 150,
  "events": [
    { "ts": 1709337500000, "worker": "w-alpha", "level": "info", "msg": "..." }
  ],
  "metadata": {
    "sessionStart": 1709337500000,
    "sessionEnd": 1709337800000,

    "sourcePath": "/path/to/log.jsonl"
  }
}
```

#### 2. Shareable Link (Base64)
