# T6-B Integration Tests Implementation Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** Add five integration tests covering the three runtime-critical paths that have zero coverage: DLQ round-trips (all 3 backends), parallel stage fan-out with semaphore cap, and checkpoint save/resume.

**Architecture:** Five new test files under `tests/`, one per scenario. No production code changes. All tests use only public APIs, `fakeredis`, and pytest's `tmp_path`. Time is controlled via `unittest.mock.patch` — no `time.sleep()` for synchronisation.

**Tech Stack:** `pytest`, `fakeredis`, `unittest.mock`, `threading`, `pathlib`, Python 3.11+

---

## Pre-flight check

- [ ] **Verify baseline tests pass**

```bash
cd ~/Projects/ai-software-house
python -m pytest tests/ -x -q --tb=short 2>&1 | tail -20
```

Expected: all existing tests pass.

- [ ] **Confirm `fakeredis` is available**

```bash
python -c "import fakeredis; print(fakeredis.__version__)"
```

Expected: version string printed (e.g. `2.x.x`). If ImportError, run: `pip install fakeredis`.

- [ ] **Confirm DLQ class names**

```bash
python -c "from core.dead_letter import InMemoryDeadLetterQueue, FileDeadLetterQueue, RedisDLQ, DLQEntry; print('OK')"
```

Expected: `OK`.

## Task 1: DLQ integration test — InMemory backend

Create `tests/test_dlq_integration_inmemory.py`:

Scenario: enqueue 3 entries → drain (all visible) → nack entry #1
(attempt_count bumps, retry_after set to future) → drain at original time
(entry #1 absent) → drain after retry window (entry #1 visible again).

## Task 5: Checkpoint save/resume integration test

**Files:**
- Create: `tests/test_checkpoint_save_resume.py`

- [ ] **Step 1: Understand the checkpoint mechanism**

Read the relevant methods:
```bash
grep -n "_save_checkpoint\|_load_checkpoint\|_checkpoint_path\|completed_stages" orchestrator.py | head -20
```

Key facts:
- `_save_checkpoint(result)` writes `result.to_dict()` as JSON to `workspace_dir/<project_name>/checkpoint.json`.
- `_load_checkpoint(requirement)` finds the checkpoint with the most `completed_stages`.
- `result.add_completed_stage(key)` marks a stage done; `_run_stage` does NOT auto-add — the caller does.
- `PipelineResult.from_dict(data)` reconstructs a result from saved JSON.

- [ ] **Step 2: Check the Orchestrator attributes needed for checkpoint methods**

```bash
grep -n "self\._checkpoint_path\|self\.workspace_dir\|self\._checkpoint_lock" orchestrator.py | head -10
```

Note the attribute names — you'll need to set them on the mocked orchestrator.

- [ ] **Step 3: Write the test**

Create `tests/test_checkpoint_save_resume.py`:

```python
"""Integration test: checkpoint save/resume across simulated restarts.

Verifies that when a pipeline is restarted with an existing checkpoint,
stages already marked as completed are skipped and stages not yet completed
are re-run from scratch.

- [ ] **Step 4: Run the test**

```bash
python -m pytest tests/test_checkpoint_save_resume.py -v
```

Expected: **PASS** (5 tests green).

If tests fail because `_checkpoint_path` expects other attributes (e.g., `self.project_name` or `result.requirement`), read `_checkpoint_path()` in `orchestrator.py` and set the missing attributes on the mock orchestrator.

```bash
grep -n "_checkpoint_path" orchestrator.py | head -5
```

Then add any missing attributes to `_make_orchestrator()` in the test.

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit Task 5**

```bash
git add tests/test_checkpoint_save_resume.py
git commit -m "test(integration): T6-B task 5 — checkpoint save/resume across simulated restarts"
```

---

## Final verification

- [ ] **Run all 5 new test files together**

```bash
python -m pytest \
  tests/test_dlq_integration_inmemory.py \
  tests/test_dlq_integration_file.py \
  tests/test_dlq_integration_redis.py \
  tests/test_parallel_stage_fan_out.py \
  tests/test_checkpoint_save_resume.py \
  -v 2>&1 | tail -40
```

Expected: all tests pass, zero failures.

- [ ] **Run the full test suite to confirm no regressions**

```bash
python -m pytest tests/ -q --tb=short 2>&1 | tail -20
```

Expected: zero failures.

- [ ] **Push branch for PR**

```bash
git checkout -b t6-b-integration-tests 2>/dev/null || git checkout t6-b-integration-tests
git push -u origin t6-b-integration-tests
gh pr create --title "test(integration): T6-B — DLQ round-trips, parallel fan-out, checkpoint save/resume" \
  --body "## Summary

T6-B adds five integration tests covering runtime-critical paths that had zero test coverage:

1. **\`test_dlq_integration_inmemory.py\`** — InMemory DLQ: enqueue → drain → nack → backoff → drain cycle
2. **\`test_dlq_integration_file.py\`** — File DLQ: same cycle + disk persistence assertions
3. **\`test_dlq_integration_redis.py\`** — Redis DLQ via fakeredis: same cycle + Python RMW path validation
4. **\`test_parallel_stage_fan_out.py\`** — Parallel stage fan-out: MAX_PARALLEL_STAGES cap enforced, all stages complete, wall-clock confirms parallelism
5. **\`test_checkpoint_save_resume.py\`** — Checkpoint save/resume: completed stages preserved and skipped on restart

No production code changes.
