Documentation Enhancement: Function Documentation
Issue Description
The get_instance_details() function in scripts/notify.sh lacks comprehensive documentation, making it difficult for maintainers to understand its behavior, parameters, and error handling approach.
Current State
The function exists without proper documentation:
get_instance_details() {
# No documentation currently exists
local instance_id="$1"
local shape_name="$2"
# ... implementation continues
}
Impact on Maintainability
- Unclear parameter requirements and expected formats
- Undefined return behavior in success/failure scenarios
- Unknown error handling approach for API failures
- Missing context about when the function should be used
- No guidance on expected outputs or side effects
Recommended Documentation
Add comprehensive function documentation:

# Get detailed instance information for notifications
#
# Fetches comprehensive instance details from OCI API including
# OCID, IPs, availability domain, and connection information.
# Designed for notification system with graceful error handling.
#
# Args:
# instance_id - OCI instance OCID to fetch details for
# shape_name - Human-readable shape name for display
# (e.g., "A1.Flex (ARM)", "E2.1.Micro (AMD)")
#
# Returns:
# Formatted instance details string with:
# - Instance ID (OCID)
# - Public IP address (or "Not assigned" if none)
# - Private IP address (or "Not available" if missing)
# - Availability Domain (short format: "AD-1", "AD-2", etc.)
# - Instance state (RUNNING, STOPPED, etc.)
#
# Error Handling:
# - Continues workflow even if detail fetching fails
# - Falls back to null IP values for VNIC failures
# - Returns basic notification if API calls fail
# - Logs warnings for troubleshooting without breaking flow
#
# Side Effects:
# - Makes multiple OCI API calls (instance get, VNIC list, VNIC get)
# - Writes formatted output to stdout
# - May log debug/warning messages
#
# Dependencies:
# - Requires oci_cmd function for API access
# - Needs jq for JSON parsing
# - Uses log_error, log_warning functions for output
#
# Example Usage:
# get_instance_details "ocid1.instance.oc1...." "A1.Flex (ARM)"
#
# Example Output:
# **A1.Flex (ARM)** (VM.Standard.A1.Flex):
# • ID: ocid1.instance.oc1.ap-singapore-1.aaa...
# • Public IP: 123.456.789.0
# • Private IP: 10.0.1.5
# • AD: AD-1
# • State: RUNNING
