- Added parent::__construct() call to PageController - Fixes: "must be an instance of OCP\AppFramework\Controller" - Error: Argument 1 passed to Dispatcher was PageController, not Controller - This is the CRITICAL fix for controller DI in Nextcloud - PageController now properly extends OCP\AppFramework\Controller - Maintains simple HTML output for testing The error showed the controller wasn't properly extending the base class. Nextcloud's Dispatcher requires all controllers to extend OCP\AppFramework\Controller.

Features Implemented
✅ Phase 1: Core Application Structure
- Nextcloud app metadata (info.xml, appinfo/info.xml)
- Application bootstrap (App.php, AppInfo.php)
- MVC pattern (Controllers, Services, Models)
- Routes and API endpoints
- Scheduled job framework (cron.php)
- 15 files created (~8.5KB code)
✅ Phase 2: Core Application Services
- GoogleAnalyticsService - Full GA4 API integration with token refresh
- LLMService - Anthropic Claude API with retry logic and rate limiting
- DataProcessor - Smart delta calculations with validation and thresholds
- DatabaseService - Report storage via Nextcloud IDBConnection
- Custom exceptions (TokenExpired, RateLimit, Timeout, DataIncomplete)
- AdminController - Settings UI implementation
- 500 lines of PHP code (~25KB total)
✅ Phase 3: Agent Integration
- Go module: git.teamworkapps.com/shortcut/nextcloud-analytics
- Nextcloud client tool: nextcloud-analytics (full CLI)
- HTTP client with Nextcloud authentication
- JSON parsing and error handling
- CLI operations: reports-list, generate, download, status
- Environment variables (NEXTCLOUD_BASE_URL, NEXTCLOUD_APP_PASSWORD)
- Full documentation in SKILL.md
- 21 files added (~34KB code)
Total Implementation: ~27KB PHP + ~2KB Go = ~29KB
