Initialized Next.js 15 with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, App Router, and src/ directory. Configured next.config.ts with API rewrites to proxy frontend requests to the FastAPI backend at port 8000. Installed npm dependencies: framer-motion, lucide-react, recharts. Created Python backend directory with requirements.txt. Set up .env with Fireworks API key, Supabase credentials, and AMD Cloud endpoints.

4.2 Design System (globals.css)

Built a complete dark industrial theme with CSS custom properties. Glassmorphism utilities: backdrop-filter: blur(20px), glass borders rgba(255,255,255,0.06). Animated glow effects — green (#10b981) for healthy, amber (#f59e0b) for warning, red (#ef4444) for critical. Custom scrollbar, keyframe animations (pulse, float, shimmer, fadeInUp, slideIn), responsive grid layout, Inter + JetBrains Mono font setup.

4.3 Executive Dashboard (Primary Interface)

05 — DESIGN DECISIONS

10 Critical Decisions & Rationale

Dashboard-First, Not Chatbot-First

Manufacturing operators need at-a-glance status, not a chat prompt. The dashboard IS the product; the copilot is secondary.

8 Specialized Agents vs 1 General Agent

Domain expertise matters. A finance agent shouldn't reason about maintenance schedules. Specialization = accuracy.

Explicit Decision Engine

LangGraph orchestrates, AMD computes, Fireworks reasons — but the Decision Engine is where business logic lives. Judges need to see it.

Digital Twin with SimPy

Before executing any action, AIRA simulates outcomes. This is the safety net that justifies autonomous operation.

MCP with RBAC Gate

Autonomous doesn't mean uncontrolled. Every write operation requires human approval with full audit trail.

Event-Driven Architecture

Data flows continuously from enterprise systems upward through Event Bus. Not only when users interact. True autonomy.

Fireworks + AMD Collaboration

Fireworks handles reasoning/planning (Llama 3.3 70B). AMD handles heavy compute (predictions, simulations, embeddings). They collaborate, not compete.

Explainable AI Outputs

Every decision includes root cause, evidence, confidence score, and business impact. No black boxes in manufacturing.

max_iterations = 3

Safety limit on agent loops to prevent runaway inference, cost explosion, and infinite agent conversations.

Temperature = 0.3

Low temperature for manufacturing decisions where accuracy matters more than creativity. No hallucinated maintenance schedules.

06 — ARCHITECTURE EVOLUTION

No Explainable AI block
No Audit & Governance sidebar
Fireworks & AMD drawn as parallel (they collaborate)

9.8/10

✅ Final Architecture

Event-driven autonomous decision platform
Explicit Decision Engine at center
Digital Twin as first-class block with SimPy
Event Bus (Kafka/Redpanda) for continuous flow
RAG moved to Tools & Services
Renamed to "Operational Data Layer"
