# Technical Specification - Alerting

**Version**: v1.0.0 | **Status**: Planned | **Last Updated**: February 2026

**Module**: `codomyrmex.telemetry.alerting`  
**Last Updated**: 2026-01-29

## 1. Purpose

Alert rule configuration and notification routing

## 2. Architecture

### 2.1 Components

```
alerting/
├── __init__.py          # Module exports
├── README.md            # Documentation
├── AGENTS.md            # Agent guidelines
├── SPEC.md              # This file
├── PAI.md               # Personal AI context
└── core.py              # Core implementation
```

### 2.2 Dependencies

- Python 3.10+
- Parent module: `telemetry`

## 3. Interfaces

### 3.1 Public API

```python
# Primary exports from codomyrmex.telemetry.alerting
# __all__ is empty — no public interface exported yet.
Not yet implemented.
```

### 3.2 Configuration

Environment variables:
- `CODOMYRMEX_*`: Configuration options

## 4. Implementation Notes

### 4.1 Design Decisions

1. **Deferred implementation**: Core alerting logic is not yet exported; `__all__` is empty and imports are commented out pending design finalization.

### 4.2 Limitations

- No persistence of alert history across sessions.
- Notification delivery (email, Slack) requires integration with external services via environment variables.

## 5. Testing

```bash
# Run tests for this module
uv run pytest src/codomyrmex/tests/unit/telemetry/alerting/
```

## 6. Future Considerations

- Define alert rule configuration classes (threshold, anomaly, composite rules)
- Implement notification routing to configurable channels (webhook, email, Slack)
