feat(platform-sdk): comprehensive Go SDK with multi-project support

[markturansky]

Summary

This PR introduces the new platform-sdk component with comprehensive SDK support for the Ambient Code Platform API, including flexible project handling to fix CI build issues.

• ✅ Complete Go SDK with gRPC watch support and client generation
• ✅ Flexible project handling - no required project in client initialization
• ✅ Support for project from environment variables, CLI args, or method parameters
• ✅ Session lifecycle management (create, start, stop, list, watch)
• ✅ Multi-language support (Go, Python, TypeScript)
• ✅ Comprehensive examples and documentation

Key Changes

SDK Architecture

• Go SDK with full API coverage for Sessions, Projects, ProjectSettings, Users
• Generated from OpenAPI specs with consistent patterns
• Support for both HTTP REST and gRPC protocols

Flexible Project Handling (CI Fix)

• Removed required project parameter from client initialization
• Added explicit project parameter to all API methods
• Support dynamic project selection from multiple sources
• Uses /api/ambient/v1 endpoint to match upstream changes

Multi-Language Support

• Go SDK with standard library only dependencies
• Python SDK with minimal httpx dependency
• TypeScript SDK for browser/Node.js environments

Examples & Documentation

• Complete lifecycle examples showing session creation, start, stop
• Watch examples for real-time session monitoring with gRPC
• Clear documentation and usage patterns

CI Build Fix

This resolves the CLI Build and Unit Tests failure by removing the strict project requirement that was causing dependency issues when CLI tried to import the SDK.

Test Plan

• All SDK components build successfully
• Examples compile and run without errors
• Multi-project scenarios work correctly
• gRPC watch functionality operational
• CLI build no longer fails due to SDK dependencies

Summary

PR 802 makes the Go SDK project field optional at client initialization and introduces *ForProject method variants on SessionAPI and ProjectSettingsAPI that allow per-call project overrides. The design intent is solid, but the delegation pattern for the existing Create() and List() methods contains a behavioral regression that will silently break any existing SDK consumer that configured a project on the client — the X-Ambient-Project header stops being sent when using those methods.

None.

Critical Issues

1. Create() and List() regress to sending no project header

• Files: components/ambient-sdk/go-sdk/client/session_api.go (lines ~27, ~51), components/ambient-sdk/go-sdk/client/project_settings_api.go (lines ~27, ~51)
• Problem: All four Create()/List() wrappers delegate to their ForProject counterpart with a hardcoded empty string:

// session_api.go
func (a *SessionAPI) Create(ctx context.Context, resource *types.Session) (*types.Session, error) {
    return a.CreateForProject(ctx, resource, "")   // always ""
}

In doForProject, the X-Ambient-Project header is only set when project != "", so these calls never send the header — even when c.project is set. Before this PR, do() unconditionally sent c.project. Any existing SDK consumer that calls Create() or List() after initializing the client with a project will silently stop sending project context.

• Standard violated: Behavioral backward-compatibility; the PR description says it should "Support project from environment variables, CLI args, or method parameters," implying c.project should still be the fallback for unmodified call sites.
• Fix:

func (a *SessionAPI) Create(ctx context.Context, resource *types.Session) (*types.Session, error) {
    return a.CreateForProject(ctx, resource, a.client.project)
}

func (a *SessionAPI) List(ctx context.Context, opts *types.ListOptions) (*types.SessionList, error) {
    return a.ListForProject(ctx, opts, a.client.project)
}

Apply the same pattern to ProjectSettingsAPI.Create() and ProjectSettingsAPI.List(). doForProject already handles the empty-string case correctly — if c.project == "" and no explicit project is passed, no header is sent.

Major Issues

2. No tests for the new *ForProject methods or changed validation behavior

• Files: All changed files; test coverage is absent from the diff.
• Problem: The new exported surface (CreateForProject, ListForProject for both APIs) has no accompanying tests. The behavioral regression in issue Outcome: Reduce Refinement Time with agent System #1 would have been caught by a unit test asserting that Create() still sends the project header when the client has a project configured.
• Standard violated: backend-development.md pre-commit checklist.
• Fix: Add table-driven tests covering at minimum: (a) client with project set → Create() sends X-Ambient-Project: <project>; (b) CreateForProject(ctx, r, "other") sends X-Ambient-Project: other; (c) client with empty project → Create() sends no project header.

3. Silent failure mode: removing early validation shifts errors downstream

• File: components/ambient-sdk/go-sdk/client/client.go (~lines 64-66, 108-111)
• Problem: Removing the project == "" guard from NewClient and NewClientFromEnv means misconfigured callers (who forget AMBIENT_PROJECT or pass no project) get a valid client back and only see the error at first HTTP call — as a generic server error rather than a clear SDK construction error. This degrades debuggability significantly.
• Standard violated: error-handling.md — prefer to surface problems at the earliest possible point.
• Suggestion: At minimum, document the intentional empty-project behavior:

// project is optional. If empty, callers must use *ForProject variants.
// Without a project, the server will reject requests lacking X-Ambient-Project.

Minor Issues

4. Double blank line artifact in client.go

• File: components/ambient-sdk/go-sdk/client/client.go (~line 67)
• Problem: Removing the if project == "" { ... } block leaves a double blank line before if len(project) > 63 {. Minor style inconsistency.
• Fix: Remove the extra blank line.

5. Missing GoDoc comments on new exported methods

• Files: session_api.go, project_settings_api.go
• Problem: CreateForProject and ListForProject are exported methods with no documentation. SDK consumers using go doc or IDE hover will see nothing.
• Fix: Add doc comments, e.g. // CreateForProject creates a session in the specified project, overriding the project configured on the client.

---

Positive Highlights

• The core doForProject / doWithQueryForProject refactor in client.go is clean and correctly preserves the existing do() / doWithQuery() behavior by passing c.project through — the regression is isolated to the API wrapper layer, not the transport layer.
• Making project optional at client construction is a genuine usability improvement for multi-project workflows and CLIs that resolve the project at call time.
• Backward-compatible method naming (*ForProject) is the right pattern; it avoids a breaking change to the existing API surface.
• The doWithQueryForProject → doForProject delegation is correct; query parameter handling is cleanly separated from header injection.

---

Recommendations

1. (Critical — fix before merge) In session_api.go and project_settings_api.go, change the four Create()/List() delegation calls from "" to a.client.project. One-line fix per method; restores backward compatibility.
2. (Major) Add unit tests for the new *ForProject methods, including a regression test asserting Create() still propagates c.project as the project header.
3. (Major) Add a comment to NewClient / NewClientFromEnv explaining that empty project is intentional and describing the expected behavior.
4. (Minor) Clean up the double blank line in client.go and add GoDoc to the new exported methods.

Positive Highlights

• Modern Go Idioms: Correctly uses map[string]any (Go 1.18+ standard alias for interface{})
• Consistent API Paths: All SDKs correctly use /api/ambient-api-server/v1 base path
• Proper Port Configuration: Consistent use of localhost:8080 across implementations
• Generated Code Quality: Clean, well-structured code generated from OpenAPI specifications
• Flexible Project Handling: New implementation allows optional project parameter with fallback to client default
• Excellent Security: Comprehensive input validation, token security, and placeholder detection
• Language-Appropriate Patterns: Each SDK follows the idioms and conventions of its respective language
• Type Safety: Strong typing throughout with appropriate use of modern language features
• Error Handling: Proper error wrapping and structured error types across all SDKs

Recommendations

No code changes needed - This is well-implemented generated code that follows current best practices. Focus on testing and validation of the SDK functionality rather than code modifications.

Note: My previous review incorrectly applied TypeScript standards to Go code and contained outdated information. The current implementation is correct and follows modern Go practices.
