### Key Services

#### ConfigService
**Responsibility:** System settings management
**Methods:** 8
```typescript
- getSettingByKey(key: string): Promise<SystemSetting>       // With cache
- getAllSettings(category?: string): Promise<SystemSetting[]> // Filter by category
- updateSetting(key, dto, userId): Promise<SystemSetting>   // With validation
- createSetting(dto, userId): Promise<SystemSetting>        // New setting
- validateSettingValue(setting, value): boolean             // Validate against rules
- getSetting(key, defaultValue?): Promise<any>              // Typed getter
- invalidateSettingCache(key?): void                        // Clear cache
```

#### FeatureFlagService
**Responsibility:** Feature flag evaluation and management
**Methods:** 10
```typescript
- isFeatureEnabled(key, userId?, userRole?, context?): Promise<boolean>
- evaluateFeatureFlag(flag, userId?, userRole?, context?): Promise<FeatureFlagEvaluationDto>
- getAllFeatureFlags(enabled?: boolean): Promise<FeatureFlag[]>
- getFeatureFlagByKey(key: string): Promise<FeatureFlag>

- get<T>(key: string): Promise<T>
- set<T>(key, value, ttl?): Promise<void>
- del(key: string): Promise<void>
- clear(pattern?): Promise<void>
- getOrSet<T>(key, factory, ttl?): Promise<T>
```

### API Endpoints

#### Configuration Endpoints (4)
```
GET    /api/config/settings              - List all settings (public)
GET    /api/config/settings/:key         - Get specific setting (public)
PUT    /api/config/settings/:key         - Update setting (admin)
POST   /api/config/settings              - Create setting (admin)
```

#### Feature Flag Endpoints (7)
```
GET    /api/config/feature-flags         - List all flags (public)
GET    /api/config/feature-flags/:key    - Get specific flag (public)
GET    /api/config/feature-flags/:key/evaluate - Evaluate for user
PUT    /api/config/feature-flags/:key    - Update flag (admin)
POST   /api/config/feature-flags         - Create flag (admin)
DELETE /api/config/feature-flags/:key    - Delete flag (admin)
```

---

## FEATURE FLAG EVALUATION ALGORITHM

```
isEnabled(userId, userRole, context) = 
  flag.is_enabled 
  AND within_time_window(flag)
  AND (no_target_users OR userId in target_users)
  AND (no_target_roles OR userRole in target_roles)
  AND evaluate_rollout(userId, flag.rollout_percentage)
  AND match_conditions(context, flag.target_conditions)
```

**Example Evaluation:**
```
Feature: "new_dashboard_ui"
- is_enabled = true ✓
- starts_at = 2025-11-01, ends_at = 2025-12-31, now = 2025-11-04 ✓
- target_users = [] (empty, so no restriction) ✓
- target_roles = ["STUDENT"] (user has STUDENT role) ✓
- rollout_percentage = 20% (hash(userId) % 100 = 15 < 20) ✓
- target_conditions = {country: "MX"} (user from Mexico) ✓
RESULT: ENABLED FOR THIS USER
```

## CACHE STRATEGY

### Cache Key Patterns
| Pattern | TTL | Purpose |
|---------|-----|---------|
| `config:setting:{key}` | 1 hour | Individual setting |
| `config:feature:{key}` | 5 minutes | Individual flag (short for dev) |
| `config:all_settings` | 30 minutes | All settings list |
| `config:all_flags` | 5 minutes | All flags list |

### Invalidation Events
- Setting update → Invalidate `config:setting:{key}` + `config:all_settings`
- Flag update → Invalidate `config:feature:{key}` + `config:all_flags`
- Flag create → Invalidate `config:all_flags`
- Flag delete → Invalidate `config:feature:{key}` + `config:all_flags`

## SECURITY MODEL

### RLS (Row Level Security)
- **Admins/SuperAdmins:** Full access (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
- **Regular Users:** Read-only access (SELECT only)
- **Implementation:** PostgreSQL RLS policies on tables

### Protected Fields
- `is_system=true` settings cannot be modified by users
- `is_readonly=true` settings cannot be modified by anyone except system
- Validation rules enforced before update

### Audit Trail
- `created_by` tracks creator ID
- `updated_by` tracks last modifier ID
- `created_at` / `updated_at` timestamps (auto-updated by triggers)

### Validation
- All values validated against `validation_rules` (JSONB schema)
- Numeric boundaries: `min_value`, `max_value`
- Discrete values: `allowed_values` (array)
- Type coercion: based on `value_type`

---

## INTEGRATION POINTS

### ConfigModule Imports
```typescript
imports: [
  TypeOrmModule.forFeature([SystemSetting, FeatureFlag], 'system_configuration'),
  CacheModule,                    // Redis
  AuthModule                      // User/role context
]
```

### Usage in Other Modules
```typescript
// In any module:
constructor(
  private configService: ConfigService,
  private featureFlagService: FeatureFlagService
)

// Get configuration value
const multiplier = await this.configService.getSetting('gamification.coin_multiplier', 1);
const bonus = amount * multiplier;

// Check if feature is enabled
const isBonusEnabled = await this.featureFlagService
  .isFeatureEnabled('weekend_bonus', userId, userRole);

// Use guard on routes
@UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard, FeatureFlagGuard)
@FeatureFlag('advanced_features')
async handleAdvanced() { ... }
```

## TESTING STRATEGY

### Unit Tests (13 test cases)
**ConfigService:**
- getSettingByKey - returns cached value
- getSettingByKey - handles missing setting
- getAllSettings - filters by category
- updateSetting - validates before update
- validateSettingValue - validates against rules
- getSetting - parses value by type

**FeatureFlagService:**
- isFeatureEnabled - evaluates correctly
- evaluateRolloutPercentage - consistent for same user
- matchesTargetConditions - simple conditions
- matchesTargetConditions - complex conditions
- evaluateFeatureFlag - detailed evaluation
- evaluateFeatureFlag - returns reason

### Integration Tests
**ConfigController:**
- GET /settings - lists all
- GET /settings/:key - returns specific
- PUT /settings/:key - updates (admin only)
- POST /settings - creates (admin only)

**FeatureFlagController:**
- GET /feature-flags - lists all
- GET /feature-flags/:key - returns specific
- GET /feature-flags/:key/evaluate - evaluates
- PUT /feature-flags/:key - updates (admin only)
- POST /feature-flags - creates (admin only)
- DELETE /feature-flags/:key - deletes (admin only)

---

## DEPENDENCIES

**No new dependencies required.** Uses existing stack:
- @nestjs/common
- @nestjs/core
- @nestjs/typeorm
- @nestjs/swagger
- @nestjs/cache-manager
- typeorm
- class-validator
- class-transformer
- PostgreSQL (database)
- Redis (caching)

---

## SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

1. RLS policies enforce data access control
2. All inputs validated against constraint rules
3. System settings protected from user modification
4. Feature evaluation done server-side only
5. Audit trail maintained for compliance
6. Sensitive settings support encryption (future)
7. Rate limiting on admin endpoints (recommended)
8. Logging on configuration changes

## KEY DECISIONS

1. **Cache TTL:** Short 5-minute TTL for flags enables rapid iteration
2. **RLS Model:** Admin full + user read-only is safe default
3. **Rollout Hashing:** Uses hash(userId) % 100 for consistent rollout
4. **Service Split:** 3 services (config, flags, cache) for clear separation
5. **Evaluation:** Server-side only, never trust client evaluation
6. **Error Handling:** Graceful fallback with default values

## CONCLUSION

A comprehensive, production-ready implementation plan has been created for the `system_configuration` backend module. The plan covers every aspect of development from database analysis through deployment, providing clear specifications for 25+ files organized in 7 subdirectories with 13 API endpoints.

The modular architecture supports two main features:
1. **System Configuration Management** - Global platform settings with validation
2. **Feature Flag Management** - Gradual feature rollout with targeting

Both features include advanced capabilities like rollout percentages, conditional targeting, time windows, and Redis caching for optimal performance.

**Status:** Ready for implementation
**Effort:** 22-28 hours
**Priority:** P2 (Medium)
**Complexity:** Medium-Advanced
