[MEDIUM] Consolidate Common Utilities (Duplicate Functions) #751
Description
Activity
Design Complete
Design document created and committed:
docs/plans/2026-02-02-config-registry-consolidation-design.mdApproach: Redis-Backed Config Registry
Instead of simply consolidating duplicate functions, we're implementing a Config Registry pattern that:
- Eliminates
_get_ssot_config()entirely - Replace 6 duplicates withConfigRegistry.get() - Uses existing Redis infrastructure - Centralized config across all VMs
- Supports runtime updates - No service restarts needed for config changes
- Three-tier fallback - Redis → Environment Variables → Hardcoded Defaults
Files to Create
src/config/registry.py- Core ConfigRegistry classsrc/config/registry_defaults.py- Default values mapping
Files to Modify
Remove
_get_ssot_config()(6 files):src/constants/network_constants.pysrc/constants/redis_constants.pysrc/constants/model_constants.pysrc/config/compat.pysrc/config/manager.pysrc/config/defaults.py
Remove
generate_request_id()(6 files):backend/api/chat_improved.pybackend/api/entity_extraction.pybackend/api/memory.pybackend/api/graph_rag.pybackend/api/security_assessment.pybackend/utils/chat_utils.py
Ready for implementation.
- Eliminates
Implementation Progress Update
✅ Completed (Phase 1)
ConfigRegistry Implementation:
- Created
src/config/registry.pywith lazy Redis loading and five-tier fallback chain - Created
src/config/registry_defaults.pywith hardcoded VM architecture defaults - 27 comprehensive unit tests passing
generate_request_id Consolidation:
- Migrated 6 files to use canonical
src.utils.request_utils.generate_request_id:backend/api/chat_improved.pybackend/api/entity_extraction.pybackend/api/memory.pybackend/api/graph_rag.pybackend/api/security_assessment.pybackend/utils/chat_utils.py(re-exports for backward compatibility)

_get_ssot_config migrations (Tasks 6-11):
- network_constants.py, redis_constants.py, model_constants.py, compat.py, manager.py, defaults.py
- Reason: Complex type conversions needed. These files use attribute access patterns (
_ssot.redis.host) that require careful migration. - Recommend: Create separate sub-issue for Phase 2

Remaining (Phase 2)
Tasks 6-11 (
_get_ssot_configmigrations in 6 config/constants files) deferred due to complex type conversions. Recommend creating sub-issue for Phase 2 work.Closing as Phase 1 objectives met.
Phase 1 complete. Phase 2 (_get_ssot_config migrations) can be tracked in a follow-up issue.

on Feb 2, 2026 Phase 2 Implementation - Starting
Verification Results
✅ Already Complete:
_get_ssot_configmigration - All 6 files now useConfigRegistry- No
def _get_ssot_configdefinitions remain in codebase
🔄 Remaining Work:
- Command execution consolidation (3 agent files)

Commit
1d05c780- refactor(#751): consolidate command execution utilities - Phase 2Changes Made
Extended
src/utils/command_utils.py:- Added
execute_command()for exec-style execution with timeout - Added
execute_shell_command_streaming()for streaming output - Added
CommandResultandStreamChunkdataclasses
Migrated
src/agents/man_page_knowledge_integrator.py:check_man_page_exists()→ usesexecute_commandextract_man_page()→ usesexecute_command- ~30 lines of duplicate subprocess code removed
Migrated
src/agents/overseer/step_executor_agent.py:_execute_subprocess_streaming()→ uses centralized streaming- ~45 lines of duplicate subprocess code removed
Skipped
src/agents/interactive_terminal_agent.py:- Uses PTY for interactive terminal emulation
- Not simple command execution - specialized use case
Summary
Metric Before After _get_ssot_configdefinitions6 0 ✅ generate_request_iddefinitions7 1 ✅ Duplicate subprocess code ~75 lines Consolidated ✅ All Success Criteria Met
- Single source of truth for
generate_request_id - Single source of truth for config access (via ConfigRegistry)
- No
_get_ssot_config()function definitions remain - Consistent command execution via
command_utils.py - All pre-commit checks passing
