Device Preference Management

[jpsantosbh]

Summary

This PR introduces a comprehensive Device Preference Management System for the SignalWire JavaScript SDK The system provides advanced device management capabilities while maintaining complete backward compatibility and zero overhead when disabled.

🎯 Key Features

• Device Preference Persistence: Automatically save and restore user device preferences
• Real-time Device Monitoring: Detect device changes and connection issues
• Automatic Recovery: Intelligent device failure recovery with multiple strategies
• Zero Breaking Changes: All existing code continues to work unchanged
• Zero Overhead: No impact when feature is disabled

🏗️ Architecture Components

Core Classes

• DeviceManager: Central device preference management with EventEmitter + Redux integration
• DeviceMonitor: Real-time device enumeration and change detection
• DeviceRecoveryEngine: Automatic device failure recovery with configurable strategies
• DevicePreferenceStorage: Pluggable storage adapters (LocalStorage, Memory, Custom)

Integration Points

• BaseRoomSession: Enhanced device methods with optional preference management
• devicePreferenceWorker: Redux saga worker following SDK patterns
• Storage Adapters: LocalStorageAdapter and MemoryStorageAdapter implementations

📦 Package Changes

@signalwire/client

• New Classes: DeviceManager, DeviceMonitor, DeviceRecoveryEngine
• Enhanced: BaseRoomSession with device preference integration
• New Workers: devicePreferenceWorker for Redux saga integration
• New Types: Comprehensive TypeScript types and interfaces
• Examples: Complete usage examples and integration patterns

@signalwire/core

• Enhanced Types: Updated fabric types for device preference support
• Action Creators: Device preference and recovery action creators

🔧 Implementation Highlights

Lazy Initialization Pattern

// DeviceManager only created when explicitly enabled
const roomSession = createBaseRoomSessionObject({
  host: 'yourspace.signalwire.com',
  token: 'your-token',
  devicePreferences: {  // Optional - zero overhead when omitted
    global: { persistPreferences: true }
  }
})

Enhanced Device Methods (Backward Compatible)

// Existing usage continues to work (no changes)
await roomSession.updateCamera({ deviceId: 'camera-id' })

// Enhanced usage with preferences (optional)
await roomSession.updateCamera(
  { deviceId: 'camera-id' },
  { priority: 1, metadata: { quality: 'high' } }
)

Redux/Saga Architecture Compliance

// Device classes integrate with Redux while maintaining EventEmitter API
export class DeviceManager extends EventEmitter {
  private dispatchReduxAction(actionCreator: any, payload: any): void {
    if (this.sessionConnection?.store) {
      this.sessionConnection.store.dispatch(actionCreator(payload))
    }
  }
}

🧪 Testing & Quality

• ✅ Build Status: All packages build successfully
• ✅ Test Suite: 434 tests passing across all components
• ✅ Type Safety: Full TypeScript compilation without errors
• ✅ Architecture: Follows SDK Redux/Saga patterns
• ✅ Zero Regressions: All existing functionality preserved

Test Coverage

• DeviceManager: 45+ tests covering preference management and storage
• DeviceMonitor: 40+ tests for device change detection and monitoring
• DeviceRecoveryEngine: 65+ tests for recovery strategies and event emission
• BaseRoomSession: 29+ tests for device preference integration
• Integration Tests: Video element building, Redux flow, type safety

🔄 Migration & Backward Compatibility

Zero Breaking Changes

• All existing BaseRoomSession usage continues to work unchanged
• Device preference features are completely optional
• Enhanced methods fall back to standard behavior when DeviceManager is unavailable
• Zero overhead when devicePreferences config is omitted

Migration Path

1. Immediate: No changes required - all existing code works
2. Optional: Add devicePreferences config to enable new features
3. Gradual: Adopt enhanced device methods with preference parameters
4. Advanced: Leverage DeviceManager API for custom device management

🚀 Usage Examples

Basic Integration

const roomSession = createBaseRoomSessionObject({
  host: 'yourspace.signalwire.com', 
  token: 'your-token',
  devicePreferences: {
    global: {
      persistPreferences: true,
      enableMonitoring: true,
      autoRecover: true
    }
  }
})

Advanced Device Management

const deviceManager = roomSession.deviceManager
deviceManager?.on('device.recovery.completed', (event) => {
  console.log('Device recovered:', event)
})

const recoveryResult = await deviceManager?.recoverDevice('camera')
