+# GDASApp
+## JEDI Configuration Builder - GDAS Client
+
+JCB-GDAS, contained in the subdirectory `parm/jcb-gdas` of this repository, is a configuration client for the JEDI Configuration Builder (JCB) system used by NOAA-EMC for Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) weather forecasting and data assimilation. It contains YAML Jinja2 templates for configuring JEDI algorithms, models, and observations.
+
+Always reference these instructions first and fallback to search or bash commands only when you encounter unexpected information that does not match the info here.
+
+### Working Effectively
+
+#### Initial Setup and Dependencies
+- Install Python 3.6+ and basic dependencies:
+  ```bash
+  python3 -m pip install --user pyyaml jinja2 click pytest
+  ```
+
+#### JCB Development Environment Setup
+- Clone and set up the main JCB repository with clients:
+  ```bash
+  cd /tmp
+  git clone --branch develop --recursive https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/jcb.git jcb_repo  # Takes 30-60 seconds
+  cd jcb_repo
+  ./jcb_client_init.py  # Takes 2-3 minutes. NEVER CANCEL. Set timeout to 5+ minutes.
+  python3 -m pip install --user .  # Takes 30-60 seconds
+  ```
+- The init script clones repositories containing the clients (jcb-gdas, jcb-rdas, etc.) and algorithms into `src/jcb/configuration/`
+- **CRITICAL**: Always run from development directory with PYTHONPATH for local testing
+
+#### Testing and Validation
+- Run client integration tests from JCB repo with proper PYTHONPATH:
+  ```bash
+  cd /tmp/jcb_repo
+  PYTHONPATH=/tmp/jcb_repo/src pytest test/client_integration -v
+  ```
+  - Takes 15-20 seconds to complete. NEVER CANCEL.
+  - Some tests may fail on .git directory checks - this is normal
+  - Set timeout to 60+ seconds for safety
+
+#### Rendering JEDI Configurations
+- Test configuration rendering using Python API:
+  ```bash
+  cd /tmp/jcb_repo
+  PYTHONPATH=/tmp/jcb_repo/src python3 -c "
+  import jcb
+  import yaml
+  config = yaml.safe_load(open('/path/to/gdas/templates.yaml'))
+  result = jcb.render(config)
+  print('Render successful')
+  "
+  ```
+- The command-line interface requires development setup:
+  ```bash
+  cd /tmp/jcb_repo
+  PYTHONPATH=/tmp/jcb_repo/src python3 -m jcb.driver render input.yaml output.yaml
+  ```
+
+### Validation
+
+#### Manual Validation Steps
+- ALWAYS test configuration rendering after making changes to templates
+- Run client integration tests to ensure templates are properly structured
+- Validate YAML syntax for non-template files (.yaml):
+  ```bash
+  python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('file.yaml'))"
+  ```
+- For template files (.yaml.j2), use JCB rendering to validate:
+  ```bash
+  cd /tmp/jcb_repo
+  PYTHONPATH=/tmp/jcb_repo/src python3 -c "import jcb, yaml; config=yaml.safe_load(open('template_dict.yaml')); jcb.render(config)"
+  ```
+- Check template variable consistency across related files
+
+#### GitHub Workflow Validation
+- The JCB-GDAS client uses GitHub Actions for CI testing at `.github/workflows/run_jcb_basic_testing.yaml`
+- Workflow clones main JCB repo, initializes clients, and runs integration tests
+- Takes 3-5 minutes total. NEVER CANCEL.
+- Set timeout to 10+ minutes for workflow commands
+
+### Client Structure
+
+#### Key Directories
+- `algorithm/` - Data assimilation algorithm templates (3dvar, LETKF, etc.)
+  - `atmosphere/` - Atmospheric DA algorithm configurations
+  - `marine/`, `aero/`, `snow/` - Other domain-specific algorithms
+- `model/` - Model configuration templates
+  - `atmosphere/` - FV3-JEDI atmospheric model configs
+  - Contains Jinja2 templates (.j2) for geometry, backgrounds, increments
+- `observations/` - Observation operator templates
+  - `atmosphere/` - Satellite and conventional observation configs
+  - Individual files for each instrument/platform (e.g., abi_g17.yaml.j2)
+- `observation_chronicle/` - Observation metadata and channel configurations
+- `test/client_integration/` - Integration test templates and configurations
+
+#### File Naming Conventions
+- All template files use `.yaml.j2` extension for Jinja2 templates
+- Model templates must use `<component>_` prefix (e.g., `atmosphere_background.yaml.j2`)
+- Observation files named by instrument/platform (e.g., `iasi_metop-a.yaml.j2`)
+
+#### Template Variables
+- Variables follow naming pattern: `<component>_<variable_name>`
+- Example: `atmosphere_background_path`, `marine_model_timestep`
+- Template files in model/ directory MUST use component-prefixed variables
+
+### Common Tasks
+
+#### Client Directory Structure (for reference)
+```
+/home/runner/work/jcb-gdas/jcb-gdas/
+├── .github/workflows/run_jcb_basic_testing.yaml  # CI workflow
+├── algorithm/
+│   ├── aero/, atmosphere/, marine/, obstats/, snow/
+│   └── atmosphere/fv3jedi_fv3inc_lgetkf.yaml.j2  # Example algorithm
+├── model/
+│   ├── aero/, atmosphere/, marine/, snow/
+│   └── atmosphere/atmosphere_background.yaml.j2  # Example model config
+├── observations/
+│   ├── aero/, atmosphere/, atmosphere-lgetkf/, marine/, snow/
+│   └── atmosphere/iasi_metop-a.yaml.j2  # Example observation
+├── observation_chronicle/
+│   ├── atmosphere/, snow/
+│   └── atmosphere/abi_g17.yaml  # Example chronicle metadata
+└── test/client_integration/
+    ├── gdas-atmosphere-templates.yaml  # Test template dictionary
+    └── gdas-marine-templates.yaml
+```
+
+#### Working with Templates
+- Edit `.yaml.j2` files using standard text editors
+- Variables use Jinja2 syntax: `{{ variable_name }}`
+- Test rendering with sample template dictionaries from `test/client_integration/`
+- Always validate template syntax before committing
+
+#### Adding New Observations
+- Create new `.yaml.j2` file in appropriate `observations/<component>/` directory
+- Follow existing naming patterns (instrument_platform.yaml.j2)
+- Add corresponding metadata file in `observation_chronicle/` if needed
+- Test rendering with existing template configurations
+
+#### Debugging Template Issues
+- Check variable naming consistency across files
+- Validate YAML structure after template rendering
+- Use Python API for debugging: `jcb.render(template_dict)` returns rendered config
+- Review client integration test output for template validation errors
+
+### Important Notes
+
+- **NEVER CANCEL** GitHub workflow runs - they may take 5+ minutes
+- **NEVER CANCEL** client initialization - takes 2-3 minutes for git clones
+- **NEVER CANCEL** integration tests - they may take 15-30 seconds but can appear to hang
+- This is a configuration client - no compilation/build process required
+- Changes affect JEDI experiment configurations used in weather forecasting
+- Template changes require integration testing with main JCB system
+- Use development JCB setup for local testing and validation
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+#### Common Issues
+- **"FileNotFoundError: configuration/apps"** - Run JCB from development directory with PYTHONPATH
+- **"Template key does not start with component_"** - Ensure model templates use proper prefixed variables
+- **"YAML scanner error in .j2 file"** - Don't validate .j2 templates with yaml.safe_load, use JCB rendering
+- **Integration tests fail on .git directory** - This is normal, test still validates templates
+
+#### Performance Notes
+- JCB client initialization: 2-3 minutes (git clones)
+- Client integration tests: 15-30 seconds
+- Configuration rendering: 1-5 seconds per template
+- GitHub workflow: 3-5 minutes total
+
+#### Expected File Counts
+- Algorithm templates: ~10 files per component
+- Model templates: ~15 files per component
+- Observation templates: ~50+ files in atmosphere/ (satellites, instruments)
+- Observation chronicles: ~50+ metadata files
