description	Add a new third-party integration (Jira/Linear-style) — per-workspace credentials, 90s auth-health poller, settings page, link/import buttons. Use when scaffolding a new external service integration.

Adding a new third-party integration

Planner Entry

Load /spec-driven-development for a substantial integration. The primary session plans, investigates existing patterns, and may directly implement a small localized slice. Delegate only independent backend, frontend, test, or documentation packets whose isolation clearly helps; workers do not spawn.

Jira and Linear are the model: per-workspace credentials, a 90s auth-health poller, a settings page with status banner + reconnect CTA, link/import buttons that gate on availability. New integrations should reuse the shared shapes rather than copying either.

Backend (apps/backend/internal/<name>/)

• Mirror the package layout: service.go, store.go, client.go, provider.go, handlers.go, models.go, poller.go. Expose Provide(writer, reader *sqlx.DB, secrets SecretStore, eventBus bus.EventBus, log *logger.Logger) (*Service, func() error, error). Pass nil for eventBus when the integration doesn't publish events; both Jira and Linear take and use it for issue-watch publishing.
• Use internal/integrations/secretadapter instead of writing your own upsert wrapper around secrets.SecretStore. The adapter satisfies any per-integration SecretStore interface shaped as {Reveal, Set, Delete, Exists}.
• Use internal/integrations/healthpoll for the auth-health loop. Implement the Prober interface (ListConfiguredWorkspaces + RecordAuthHealth) on a small adapter and let healthpoll.New("name", prober, log) own Start/Stop/ticker. Keep integration-specific loops (JQL polling, webhook reconciliation, etc.) separate, like jira's issue-watch loop.
• Wire the service via a per-domain init<Name>Service(...) helper in cmd/kandev/services.go, not inline in provideServices.
• Ship a mock_client.go + mock_controller.go next to the real client. Provide branches on KANDEV_MOCK_<NAME>=true and returns the in-memory client; RegisterMockRoutes(router, svc, log) mounts /api/v1/<name>/mock/* only when the service was built with the mock. The e2e backend fixture sets the env var so Playwright tests drive the mock via apiClient.mock<Name>*() helpers — see jira/linear for the layout.

Frontend

• Hooks live under hooks/domains/<name>/, not components/<name>/.
• Use hooks/domains/integrations/use-integration-availability.ts and use-integration-enabled.ts — each integration's useXAvailable / useXEnabled should be a one-line wrapper passing the storage key + sync event + config-fetch function.
• Settings page reuses <IntegrationAuthStatusBanner> (components/integrations/auth-status-banner.tsx).
• "Auth required / reconnect" UI reuses <IntegrationAuthErrorMessage> (components/integrations/auth-error-message.tsx) — supply the integration's display name, regex check, and reconnect href.
• Link / import popovers reuse <ValidatedPopover> (components/integrations/validated-popover.tsx) — supply the icon, label, key regex, fetch function, and success callback.

Where Jira and Linear deliberately diverge

• Issue model: Jira uses transitions + JQL; Linear uses state IDs + structured filters. Don't merge these schemas — the upstream APIs are genuinely different.
• Watch filter persistence: Jira stores the JQL string verbatim; Linear stores the structured SearchFilter as JSON in filter_json (Linear has no JQL equivalent). The orchestrator emits NewJiraIssueEvent / NewLinearIssueEvent respectively and dedups by issue key (Jira) vs identifier (Linear).
• Health column extras: Linear's linear_configs row carries an org_slug captured from successful probes; Jira's row does not.
