Heru Feedback — Self-Healing Platform Architecture (Decided 2026-03-11)
Core Concept
Heru Feedback is NOT just a bug reporting tool. It is a self-healing closed loop:
- Customer/tester reports technical issue → AI classifies → agent fixes → reporter notified on resolution
- This is the feature that won million-dollar software deals at the WCR client meeting (2026-03-11)
Two Reporter Types, Same Pipeline
- Testers (Vision, Quik) — report via develop/TestFlight apps → notification on resolution via Slack DM
- Customers (real users) — report via production apps → notification on resolution via AWS SES email
- Both hit the same
submitFeedbackmutation. Difference is notification channel only.
Closed Loop Flow
- Submit feedback (min 50 chars, encourage screenshot/video)
- Feedback API → DB + Slack channel + work queue API call to build farm
- Haiku classifies severity, groups duplicates, schedules dispatch
- Agent fixes bug → marks feedback as
resolved - Resolution notification: SES email (customer) or Slack DM (tester)
Email = Marketing Win
- Customers provide email + consent to receive updates about their issue
- Optional second opt-in for marketing/promotional emails
- Every bug report = warm lead (they use the product, they engaged, they gave email)
- CAN-SPAM compliant — consent checkbox required, unsubscribe link in all emails
Haiku’s Role in Classification
- Classifies based on: description, screenshots, video, device info
- Minimum character limit + media encouragement = sender’s obligation to provide good data
- Groups duplicate/related reports under one dispatch (deduplication via classification, not prevention)
- Human-readable summaries in plain natural language — no model names, no jargon
Environment Identification (Added 2026-03-11)
- Tester feedback: SDK auto-detects environment (develop/staging/production) from app config
- Customer feedback: ALWAYS production — customers only use prod apps
- Haiku uses environment to determine dispatch urgency: production customer bug = P0, develop tester bug = normal dispatch
- Backend column:
environmentenum (develop|staging|production, default:production)
Requirements
- REQ-10 in
.claude/plans/heru-feedback-requirements.md - Phase 2 — after S3, video, screenshots, mobile, centralized backend work (REQ 1-9)
- SDK needs: email field, consent checkbox, min char limit, media nudge, auto-detect environment
- Backend needs: reporterEmail, emailConsent, marketingConsent, environment columns, status enum, SES integration
- SES params:
/quik-nation/shared/SES_FROM_EMAIL,/quik-nation/shared/SES_REGION
Slack → QuikHuddle Transition
- Currently all Heru channels are in Slack
- When QuikHuddle is built, channels migrate there
- QuikHuddle Support Channel can be integrated into client dashboards later
