[User] Tell me about Abort controller - cancelling in-flight requests

[Assistant] Every long-lived or streaming HTTP request in Icarus must be cancellable via AbortController. Create an AbortController, pass its signal to fetch(), and call controller.abort() when the user dismisses the UI or a new request supersedes the old one. The fetch promise rejects with an AbortError, which the error handler silently catches. For WebSocket connections, close the socket directly. Always clean up: remove event listeners, clear timeouts, and release media streams on abort.

[User] What is Real-time collaboration concepts?

[Assistant] Icarus supports real-time collaboration via Operational Transform (OT) or Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs). Each client holds a local copy of shared state (e.g., a document or canvas). Edits are broadcast as atomic operations via WebSocket to other participants. The server acts as a relay and optionally as an authoritative merge engine. Cursor positions, selections, and presence indicators (online/typing) are streamed as ephemeral events not persisted to history.

[User] How do I live notifications and toasts?

[Assistant] Icarus displays real-time notifications via a toast system fed by an event stream. The notification service subscribes to a WebSocket channel for server-pushed events (new messages, task completions, system alerts). Each event is enqueued with a severity level, title, body, and optional action callback. Toasts auto-dismiss after 4–8 seconds unless the user interacts. A rate limiter (max 3 toasts visible) prevents toast storms, while a notification tray stores history for later review.

[User] What is Observables and reactive programming patterns?

[Assistant] Icarus uses Observable-based patterns (via RxJS or TC39 Observables) to model streams of data over time. An Observable represents any source of values—mouse events, WebSocket messages, timer ticks, or fetch responses. Operators like map, filter, debounceTime, switchMap, and mergeAll transform and combine streams declaratively. This pattern shines for real-time features: for example, debounce a search input, switchMap to a fetch Observable, and display results—all without manual subscription management.

[User] How do I async generators and iterators for streams?

[Assistant] JavaScript async generators (async function*() { ... }) produce sequences of values over time, making them a natural fit for streaming data. Icarus uses async iterables with for await...of to consume streams in a linear, readable style. For example, a function fetching an SSE endpoint can yield each parsed event as an object, and the caller simply iterates. Async generators compose well: one generator can yield from another, enabling layered processing (decode, parse, enrich) without callback nesting.

[User] How do I buffer management for streaming audio?

[Assistant] Streaming audio in Icarus requires careful buffer management to balance latency against glitch-free playback. The AudioContext worklet receives incoming audio chunks from WebSocket, inserts them into a ring buffer (e.g., 3–5 seconds capacity), and the render thread consumes at sample rate. A dynamic jitter buffer adjusts to network variability: if packets arrive late, the buffer depth increases; if too far ahead, it drains faster. Target playback latency is 100–500ms for voice, 2–10s for music.

[User] How to rate-limit streams without dropping data?

[Assistant] Use a token-bucket or leaky-bucket algorithm on the consumer side. When the stream emits data faster than the processing target (e.g., 60 UI updates/second), tokens are consumed at the desired rate. Excess events are queued in a bounded buffer (e.g., 1,000 items) rather than dropped. The consumer drains the buffer at the configured rate. This preserves all data while preventing resource exhaustion. Icarus applies this to high-volume event logs, telemetry, and real-time analytics feeds.

[User] How do I reconnection strategies for dropped connections?

[Assistant] Icarus implements exponential backoff with jitter for WebSocket and SSE reconnections: initial delay 1s, doubling up to 30s maximum, with a random offset of ±500ms to prevent thundering herds. On disconnect, the client pauses outgoing data, buffers incoming gaps in a circular queue, and attempts reconnection. After successful reconnect, it reconciles missed state via a sync handshake (e.g., sending the last known event ID). The UI shows a persistent banner while disconnected and clears it on reconnect.

[User] How do I merging multiple streams into one coherent output?

[Assistant] When Icarus consumes multiple real-time sources (e.g., transcription, AI response, tool outputs), it merges them into a unified conversational timeline. Each source produces timestamped events. A merge function (using RxJS merge() or for-await with a priority queue) interleaves events by logical ordering constraints. For example, tool outputs appear after the user message but before the AI response. A merging buffer collects events from all sources and flushes them in presentation order, gated by a virtual clock to avoid race conditions.

[User] How do I chain-of-thought reasoning?

[Assistant] Chain-of-thought reasoning breaks down multi-step problems into explicit intermediate steps. When faced with a complex question, first restate the goal, then list each logical step required to reach the answer. Write each step as a clear statement before moving to the next. This approach reduces error by making hidden assumptions visible and allowing verification of each stage independently. For example, to solve a word problem: (1) extract known facts, (2) identify the unknown, (3) determine the relationship between facts and unknown, (4) perform the calculation, (5) verify the result against the original question.

[User] How do I decomposition: breaking problems into sub-problems?

[Assistant] Complex problems become tractable through recursive decomposition. Split the main problem into independent sub-problems, solve each separately, then compose the solutions. Apply the divide-and-conquer heuristic: if a sub-problem still feels complex, split it further. Use dependency analysis to order sub-problems — solve prerequisites first. This technique is fundamental in software engineering (modular design), mathematics (proof decomposition), and project planning (work breakdown structures). Document the decomposition tree so you can trace how each sub-solution contributes to the whole.

[User] How do I mathematical reasoning and calculation approaches?

[Assistant] Mathematical reasoning requires precision in both method and notation. For quantitative problems: (1) identify what is being asked and the units expected, (2) gather all given values with their units, (3) select the formula or transformation that maps inputs to outputs, (4) perform dimensional analysis to verify the formula's structure, (5) compute step-by-step with intermediate rounding only at the end. Use estimation before exact calculation to catch gross errors — if the estimate and exact answer differ significantly, re-examine the approach. Symbolic manipulation, numeric approximation, and graphical reasoning are complementary tools; choose the one best suited to the problem's constraints.

[User] How do I logical deduction and inference patterns?

[Assistant] Deductive reasoning moves from general premises to specific conclusions using valid inference rules. Core patterns include: modus ponens (if P then Q; P is true, therefore Q is true), modus tollens (if P then Q; Q is false, therefore P is false), hypothetical syllogism (if P then Q; if Q then R; therefore if P then R), and disjunctive syllogism (P or Q; not P; therefore Q). When analyzing arguments, identify the premises and conclusion, then check whether the inference follows a valid form. Be alert for affirming the consequent (if P then Q; Q is true, therefore P — invalid) and denying the antecedent (if P then Q; P is false, therefore Q — invalid). Use truth tables or Venn diagrams to verify complex logical relationships.

[User] How do I debugging methodology: systematic fault isolation?

[Assistant] Effective debugging follows a scientific method adapted for fault isolation. (1) Reproduce the bug consistently — note exact inputs, environment, and observed output. (2) Form a hypothesis about the root cause, constrained by what changed recently. (3) Use binary search on the execution path: test the midpoint to determine whether the bug occurs before or after that point, halving the search space each iteration. (4) Add instrumentation (logs, assertions, print statements) at boundaries between components. (5) Change only one variable at a time to isolate causality. (6) When a fix is found, write a regression test that captures the bug before applying the fix. Common pitfalls: fixing symptoms instead of causes, assuming而非验证ing assumptions, and confirmation bias toward one's own code.

[User] How do I root cause analysis techniques?

[Assistant] Root cause analysis (RCA) identifies the fundamental origin of a problem rather than its surface symptoms. Three widely used techniques: (1) Five Whys — repeatedly ask why until the underlying process or system failure emerges (typically 3-5 iterations); (2) Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram — categorize potential causes into people, process, technology, and environment dimensions; (3) Fault tree analysis — diagram the logical combinations of lower-level failures that lead to the top-level problem using AND/OR gates. After identifying the root cause, verify it by asking: if we fix this, does the problem disappear? Can we prevent this cause from occurring again? Apply RCA after major incidents, recurring defects, and systemic failures — not for one-off issues where simpler fixes suffice.

[User] How do I decision trees for multi-option choice?

[Assistant] Decision trees structure complex choices by mapping options, their possible outcomes, probabilities, and payoffs. To build one: (1) start with a decision node (square) representing the choice, (2) draw branches for each alternative, (3) add chance nodes (circles) for each uncertain outcome with its probability, (4) attach leaf nodes with the utility or cost of each final outcome. Calculate expected value by multiplying each outcome's value by its probability and summing across branches. The optimal decision is the branch with the highest expected value. Decision trees excel when choices have sequential dependencies and when uncertainty is quantifiable. For qualitative decisions, label branches with criteria weights instead of probabilities and compute weighted scores.

[User] How do I comparative analysis: pros/cons frameworks?

[Assistant] Comparative analysis frameworks help weigh alternatives systematically. Beyond simple pros/cons lists, use weighted matrices: (1) list all options as columns, (2) define evaluation criteria as rows, (3) assign each criterion a weight reflecting its importance (summing to 1.0), (4) score each option per criterion (e.g., 1-5), (5) compute weighted totals = sum(weight * score) per option. For qualitative comparisons, use a PMI framework (Plus, Minus, Interesting) where 'Interesting' captures non-evaluative observations. The DACI model (Driver, Approver, Contributor, Informed) clarifies who participates in the comparison. Avoid anchoring: evaluate all options against the same criteria in random order to prevent the first option from biasing later assessments.

[User] How do I analogical reasoning: mapping known solutions to new problems?

[Assistant] Analogical reasoning transfers knowledge from a familiar domain (source) to an unfamiliar one (target). The process has four stages: (1) retrieval — recall a source problem with similar structure, (2) mapping — align elements of the source and target finding one-to-one correspondences, (3) transfer — carry over the solution method from source to target, (4) evaluation — verify the transferred solution works in the new context. Focus on structural (relational) similarity rather than surface (feature) similarity. For example, solving a network routing problem by analogy to traffic flow uses structural mapping (nodes=intersections, edges=roads, latency=congestion). Use purposeful analogies when faced with novel problems; distrust analogies when only surface features match but underlying structures differ.

[User] How do I causal reasoning: understanding cause and effect?

[Assistant] Causal reasoning identifies cause-effect relationships and distinguishes them from mere correlation. Key concepts: (1) necessary cause — without X, Y cannot occur; (2) sufficient cause — whenever X occurs, Y follows; (3) confounding variable — a third factor Z that influences both X and Y, creating a spurious correlation. To establish causation, apply the Bradford Hill criteria: strength of association, consistency across studies, specificity, temporality (cause precedes effect), biological gradient (dose-response), plausibility, coherence, experiment (controlled manipulation), and analogy. Use counterfactual reasoning: would Y have occurred if X had not happened? In code, causal reasoning is essential for understanding bug propagation — trace the chain of state mutations from input to observed failure.

[User] How do I probabilistic reasoning and uncertainty handling?

[Assistant] Probabilistic reasoning quantifies uncertainty using probability theory. Apply Bayes' theorem to update beliefs with new evidence: P(H|E) = P(E|H) * P(H) / P(E). When exact probabilities are unavailable, use heuristic approximations: (1) the conjunction rule — P(A and B) ≤ P(A), so conjunctions cannot be more likely than individual events, (2) base rate neglect — always consider the population base rate before evidence, (3) regression to the mean — extreme outcomes tend to be followed by more average ones. For decision-making under uncertainty, use expected value: EV = sum(P(outcome_i) * value_i). Express confidence as ranges rather than point estimates. When probabilities are unknown, use the principle of indifference (assign equal probability) only as a default, then refine with data.

[User] How do I constraint satisfaction: solving problems with rules?

[Assistant] Constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) involve finding values for variables that satisfy all given constraints. A CSP is defined by (X, D, C) where X is a set of variables, D is a domain of possible values for each variable, and C is a set of constraints restricting which value combinations are allowed. General solution approach: (1) define all variables and their domains, (2) express all constraints explicitly, (3) apply constraint propagation (e.g., arc consistency) to prune impossible values early, (4) use backtracking search — assign variables one by one, checking consistency after each assignment, and backtrack when a constraint is violated. Heuristics improve efficiency: Minimum Remaining Values (MRV) picks the most constrained variable first; Least Constraining Value (LCV) picks the value that rules out the fewest options for remaining variables. CSPs model scheduling, configuration, puzzle-solving, and type inference problems naturally.

[User] How do I planning and scheduling: multi-step task planning?

[Assistant] Planning transforms a goal into an ordered sequence of actions. Formal planning requires: (1) initial state — current conditions, (2) goal state — desired conditions, (3) actions — each with preconditions (what must be true to act) and effects (what changes after acting). Use backward chaining (start from goal, find actions that achieve it, then find actions that satisfy their preconditions) or forward chaining (simulate from initial state exploring action sequences). For scheduling dependencies, use critical path analysis: identify the longest path of dependent tasks — any delay on this path delays the whole project. Estimate task durations with three-point estimation (optimistic, most likely, pessimistic) and compute expected duration as (optimistic + 4*most_likely + pessimistic) / 6. Reserve slack time for uncertainty.

[User] How do I hypothesis generation and testing?

[Assistant] The scientific method drives hypothesis-driven investigation. (1) Observation — notice a phenomenon or anomaly. (2) Question — frame it as a specific, testable question. (3) Hypothesis — propose a tentative explanation that is falsifiable (can be proven wrong). (4) Prediction — derive a specific observable consequence from the hypothesis. (5) Experiment — design a controlled test where the prediction can be confirmed or refuted. (6) Analysis — determine whether results support or contradict the hypothesis. Use null hypothesis significance testing: assume no effect (null hypothesis) and test whether observed data is unlikely under that assumption. For exploratory phases, generate multiple competing hypotheses and design experiments that can discriminate between them (crucial experiments). Avoid confirmation bias by actively seeking evidence that could falsify your preferred hypothesis.

[User] How do I socratic method: asking questions to guide understanding?

[Assistant] The Socratic method uses disciplined questioning to expose assumptions, clarify concepts, and arrive at deeper understanding. Key question types: (1) clarification — What do you mean by X? Can you give an example? (2) probing assumptions — What are you assuming here? Is that assumption always true? (3) probing reasons and evidence — Why do you believe that? What evidence supports this? (4) exploring implications and consequences — If that is true, what follows? Does this conflict with Y? (5) questioning the question — Why is this question important? Is this the right question to ask? Apply the Socratic method when helping others reason through problems: avoid giving direct answers; instead guide them to discover answers themselves. The method is especially effective for debugging reasoning errors, ethical dilemmas, and conceptual misunderstandings.

[User] How do I critical thinking: evaluating claims and evidence?

[Assistant] Critical thinking is the systematic evaluation of claims based on evidence and logic. When assessing any claim: (1) identify the claim precisely — what is being asserted? (2) identify the source — is it credible, authoritative, and unbiased? (3) examine the evidence — is it empirical, anecdotal, or theoretical? Is the sample size adequate? (4) check for logical consistency — does the claim contradict known facts or itself? (5) consider alternative explanations — what else could explain the observation? (6) evaluate the reasoning — are there hidden premises? Does the conclusion follow from the premises? Apply the BALD framework (Burden of proof, Assertion, Logic, Data): the person making the claim bears the burden of proof; assertions without evidence can be dismissed; the logic must be valid; and the data must support the conclusion. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

[User] How do I creative problem solving: brainstorming and ideation?

[Assistant] Creative problem solving diverges to generate options then converges to select solutions. The process alternates between divergent thinking (generating many ideas without judgment) and convergent thinking (evaluating and refining ideas). Techniques for divergence: (1) brainstorming — generate as many ideas as possible, defer criticism, combine and improve ideas; (2) SCAMPER — Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse; (3) mind mapping — start with the core problem and radiate associated concepts; (4) reverse brainstorming — ask how to cause the problem, then invert those causes into solutions. For convergence: (1) affinity grouping — cluster related ideas, (2) dot voting — prioritize with limited votes, (3) evaluation matrix — score ideas against criteria. The best solutions often emerge from the intersection of seemingly unrelated domains; intentionally seek cross-domain inspiration.

[User] How do I pattern recognition in data and code?

[Assistant] Pattern recognition identifies regularities, structures, and recurring motifs in data or source code. In code, recognize patterns at multiple levels: (1) syntactic — control flow patterns (loops, recursion, conditionals), (2) structural — design patterns (singleton, factory, observer), (3) behavioral — state machines, event-driven flows, (4) anti-patterns — god objects, copy-paste code, spaghetti logic. In data, look for: trends (monotonic changes over time), seasonality (repeating cycles), clusters (natural groupings), outliers (data points deviating significantly), and correlations (co-occurring changes). Use both bottom-up (data-driven, let patterns emerge) and top-down (hypothesis-driven, look for specific patterns) approaches. Pattern matching accelerates debugging: 'I've seen this failure before, the root cause was X.' Document recurring patterns in a personal knowledge base for future reference.

[User] How do I inductive vs deductive reasoning approaches?

[Assistant] Inductive and deductive reasoning are complementary modes of inference. Deduction: general premises → specific conclusion (guaranteed truth if premises are true and reasoning is valid). Induction: specific observations → general conclusion (probabilistic, not guaranteed). Deduction is used in mathematics, formal verification, and rule-based systems where axioms are known. Induction is used in scientific discovery, machine learning, and empirical analysis where patterns are extracted from data. Analogy falls under induction but is weaker — it suggests possibilities rather than probabilities. Heuristic: when you need certainty (legal arguments, mathematical proofs), use deduction; when you need generalization from examples (data analysis, trend prediction), use induction. Most real-world reasoning combines both: use induction to form hypotheses from observations, then deduction to derive testable predictions from those hypotheses.

[User] Common Logical Fallacies to Avoid

[Assistant] Question: What are the most common logical fallacies and how do I recognize them? Answer: Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning that make arguments invalid despite appearing convincing. Key fallacies: (1) Ad Hominem — attacking the person instead of the argument. (2) Straw Man — misrepresenting an opponent's position to make it easier to attack. (3) Appeal to Authority — claiming something is true because an authority said it, when the authority is not an expert on the topic. (4) False Dilemma (False Dichotomy) — presenting only two options when more exist. (5) Slippery Slope — asserting that a small step will inevitably lead to a chain of bad events without evidence. (6) Circular Reasoning (Begging the Question) — the conclusion is assumed in the premise. (7) Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc — assuming that because A happened before B, A caused B. (8) Hasty Generalization — drawing a conclusion from insufficient evidence. (9) Appeal to Ignorance — claiming something is true because it hasn't been proven false. (10) Correlation vs Causation — assuming correlation implies causation without considering confounding variables. When analyzing an argument, ask: are the premises true? Does the conclusion follow from the premises? Are there unstated assumptions? Has any relevant information been omitted?
