## 🟢 Phase 2: GREEN - Implementation

### Implementation in `codeframe/ui/server.py`

#### Lifespan Context Manager
```python
@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
    """Manage application lifespan - startup and shutdown."""
    # Startup: Initialize database
    db_path_str = os.environ.get("DATABASE_PATH", ".codeframe/state.db")
    db_path = Path(db_path_str)

    app.state.db = Database(db_path)
    app.state.db.initialize()

    yield

    # Shutdown: Close database connection
    if hasattr(app.state, "db") and app.state.db:
        app.state.db.close()
```

#### FastAPI App Configuration
```python
app = FastAPI(
    title="CodeFRAME Status Server",
    description="Real-time monitoring and control for CodeFRAME projects",
    version="0.1.0",
    lifespan=lifespan
)
```

### Enhancement in `codeframe/persistence/database.py`

#### Thread-Safe SQLite Connection
```python
def initialize(self) -> None:
    """Initialize database schema."""
    # Create parent directories if needed
    self.db_path.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

    self.conn = sqlite3.connect(self.db_path, check_same_thread=False)
    self.conn.row_factory = sqlite3.Row
    self._create_schema()
```

### Implementation Highlights

**Modern FastAPI Pattern**:
- Uses FastAPI lifespan event (not deprecated `@app.on_event("startup")`)
- Async context manager for clean resource management
- Automatic cleanup on shutdown

**Thread-Safe Database**:
- `check_same_thread=False` for FastAPI async compatibility
- Allows database usage across different threads/requests
- Essential for async FastAPI operation

**Environment Configuration**:
- Reads `DATABASE_PATH` environment variable
- Falls back to `.codeframe/state.db` default
- Supports custom paths for testing

**Connection Lifecycle**:
- Database initialized on app startup
- Stored in `app.state.db` for access across endpoints
- Properly closed on app shutdown

## 🔄 Phase 3: REFACTOR - Test Updates

### Initial Test Failures
- **Issue**: Tests failed because lifespan event only runs with TestClient
- **Cause**: Tests using `reload(server)` without TestClient didn't trigger lifespan
- **SQLite Error**: Thread-safety issue with default SQLite configuration

### Refactoring Changes

#### Test Pattern Update
Updated all tests to use TestClient to trigger lifespan:
```python
def test_database_initialized_on_startup(self, temp_db_path):
    """Test that database is initialized when server starts."""
    import os
    os.environ["DATABASE_PATH"] = str(temp_db_path)

    from codeframe.ui import server
    from importlib import reload
    reload(server)

    app = server.app

    # ACT: Start the app with TestClient to trigger lifespan
    with TestClient(app) as client:
        # ASSERT: Database should be initialized
        assert hasattr(app.state, "db")
        assert app.state.db is not None
        assert app.state.db.conn is not None
        assert temp_db_path.exists()
```

#### Database Threading Fix
Added `check_same_thread=False` to database connection:
```python
self.conn = sqlite3.connect(self.db_path, check_same_thread=False)
```

## 🎯 Test Strategy Highlights

### Arrange-Act-Assert Pattern
All tests follow the AAA pattern:
```python
def test_database_initialized_on_startup(self, temp_db_path):
    # ARRANGE: Set up environment and reload server
    import os
    os.environ["DATABASE_PATH"] = str(temp_db_path)
    from codeframe.ui import server
    from importlib import reload
    reload(server)

    # ACT: Start app with TestClient
    with TestClient(server.app) as client:
        # ASSERT: Verify database initialized
        assert hasattr(server.app.state, "db")
```

### Fixture Usage
Leveraging `conftest.py` fixtures:
- `temp_db_path`: Temporary database with cleanup
- `temp_dir`: Temporary directory
- Automatic cleanup between tests

### Test Categories
Using pytest markers:
- `@pytest.mark.unit`: Unit tests (isolated components)
- `@pytest.mark.integration`: Integration tests (multi-component)

### Edge Cases Covered
- Environment variable configuration
- Custom database paths
- Default path fallback
- Connection lifecycle management
- Thread-safe operations
- Error handling for invalid paths

## 📝 Next Steps

### Immediate (cf-8.3)
1. Wire Status Server endpoints to database
2. Replace mock data with real database queries
3. Test endpoints return actual data

### cf-8.4: Coverage Verification
1. Run all tests together
2. Verify comprehensive integration
3. Ensure >90% coverage overall

## 💡 TDD Lessons Learned

### What Worked Well
✅ Writing tests first revealed lifespan event requirements
✅ TDD caught thread-safety issue early
✅ Tests documented expected behavior clearly
✅ Refactoring phase improved FastAPI patterns

### Technical Insights
- FastAPI lifespan events are superior to deprecated `@app.on_event`
- SQLite requires `check_same_thread=False` for async frameworks
- TestClient is required to trigger lifespan events in tests
- Module reload pattern works well for testing with different configs

### Improvements for Next Task
- Consider async database libraries (e.g., aiosqlite) for better async support
- Add connection pooling for production use
- Implement database migration strategy for schema changes
- Add health check endpoint to verify database connectivity
