I worked on polishing both the **frontend widget code** and the **FastAPI backend**, improving code structure, adding helpful logs for developers, handling errors gracefully, and cleaning up the overall implementation. Additionally, I added a proper license to align with community standards. With these changes, the AI-powered debugger is now stable, clean, and ready for long-term maintenance. + +### What I Did + +### 1. Widget Code Finalization + +This week was all about **refining the AI debugger widget** both in terms of **code quality** and **developer ergonomics**. + +**Key frontend changes (`aidebugger.js`):** + +- Improved user interaction with subtle **focus/hover effects** for input fields and buttons. +- Added internal logging with `console.log()` for: + + ```js + console.log("AI Debugger Backend URL:", BACKEND_CONFIG.BASE_URL); + ``` + +* Handled backend connection failures gracefully with: + + ```js + if (!response.ok) { + throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}: ${response.statusText}`); + } + ``` + +* Provided consistent and timestamped system messages for events like: + + ```js + this.activity.textMsg(_("Conversation reset.")); + ``` + +* Fine-tuned backend call structure and payload tracking via: + + ```js + const payload = { + code: projectData, + prompt: message, + history: history, + prompt_count: this.promptCount + }; + ``` + +--- + +### 2. Backend API Polishing + +**Major changes in [`api.py`](https://github.com/omsuneri/AI-powered-Debugger-for-Music-Blocks/blob/main/app/api.py):** + +* Added **robust logging** to help developers track error sources: + + ```python + print(f"Received request data: {data}") + print(f"Parsed - code length: {len(raw_json_code)}, prompt: '{user_prompt}'") + ``` + +* Improved **JSON decoding and validation**: + + ```python + try: + json_data = json.loads(raw_json_code) + except json.JSONDecodeError as e: + return JSONResponse(status_code=400, content={"error": f"Invalid JSON: {str(e)}"}) + ``` + +* Graceful fallback for context/LLM/embedding failure: + + ```python + except Exception as e: + context_chunks = [] + ``` + +* Introduced differentiated **system tone logic** based on interaction depth: + + ```python + if prompt_count < 2: + tone = "curious and friendly" + else: + tone = "direct and helpful" + ``` + +* All responses are now guaranteed to be returned in a structured format: + + ```python + return JSONResponse(content={ "response": gemini_response }) + ``` + +--- + +## Preview + +The final debugger widget is now **live** — [merged upstream in this PR](https://github.com/sugarlabs/musicblocks/pull/4739) + +Music Blocks Debugger widget merged in upstream/master + +--- + +### Why It Matters + +These refinements make the AI-powered debugger: + +* **More maintainable** – future contributors now have logs and clean API traces. +* **More user-friendly** – better responsiveness and feedback for Music Blocks users. +* **Merge-ready** – all components (frontend/backend) are now clean, stable, and consistent with community standards. +* **Error-resilient** – prevents crashes due to malformed input or unexpected backend failure. + +--- + +### Final Thoughts + +Shipping a polished, production-grade AI-powered debugger required focused attention to **DX (Developer Experience)** and **UX (User Experience)**. Thanks to mentor and community feedback in the last few weeks, this week's progress made the system robust, responsive, and user-centric. + +--- + +## Next Week’s Roadmap + +For the **final week (Week 12)**, my goal is to deliver **two structured documentation guides**: + +**Developer Guide** + +* Architecture explanation +* Codebase walkthrough +* How to debug/debugger 😄 +* How to contribute and maintain + +**User Guide** + +* How to use the Debugger widget +* Features of the AI assistant +* Examples of typical usage and benefits + +These will be hosted within the project repository and made available via the in-app links. + +## Resources & References + +- **Repository:** [AI-powered Debugger for Music Blocks](https://github.com/omsuneri/AI-powered-Debugger-for-Music-Blocks) +- **Debugger Streamlit App:** [Music Blocks Debugger](https://debuggmb.streamlit.app/) + +## Acknowledgments + +Grateful as always to my mentors and the Sugar Labs community especially for pushing me to meet upstream standards, prioritize accessibility, and always keep the **user's learning journey** front and center. + +---
