## Known Issues & Limitations

### Non-Critical Issues (Won't Block Merge)

1. **Agent Pool Manager Coverage** (76.72%)
   - **Impact**: Low - core functionality well-tested
   - **Missing**: Secondary features (retirement, status reporting)
   - **Plan**: Add 8-10 test cases in Sprint 5

2. **Retry Logic Edge Case**
   - **Affected Tests**: 2 integration tests
   - **Impact**: Low - basic retry works, complex scenarios only
   - **Root Cause**: State machine exits early on 'failed' status
   - **Plan**: Refine state machine in Sprint 5

3. **Circular Dependency Detection Edge Case**
   - **Affected Tests**: 1 integration test
   - **Impact**: Low - basic cycle detection works (94.51% coverage)
   - **Root Cause**: Specific graph pattern not detected
   - **Plan**: Add more test patterns in Sprint 5

4. **Test Worker Agent Subprocess Environment**
   - **Affected Tests**: 2 unit tests
   - **Impact**: Low - functionality proven in integration tests
   - **Root Cause**: pytest not in subprocess PATH
   - **Plan**: Fix environment setup in Sprint 5

### Design Decisions

1. **Max Agents Default**: 10 concurrent agents
   - Configurable via `max_agents` parameter
   - Based on CPU core availability

2. **Max Retries Default**: 3 attempts
   - Configurable via `max_retries` parameter
   - Prevents infinite retry loops

3. **Dependency Format**: Comma-separated task IDs
   - Example: `"1,2,3"`
   - Simple and human-readable

---

## Migration & Deployment

### Database Migration

**Status**: ✅ **No Migration Required**

- Schema changes already applied in Phase 1
- New methods are additive only
- Existing data preserved

### Backward Compatibility

**Status**: ✅ **100% Backward Compatible**

- All Sprint 3 tests passing (37/37)
- Single-agent mode unchanged
- Multi-agent is opt-in
- No breaking API changes

### Deployment Strategy

1. **Deploy to Staging**
   - Run with multi-agent disabled initially
   - Enable for test projects
   - Monitor performance and errors

2. **Gradual Rollout**
   - Enable for new projects first
   - Monitor existing projects
   - Gradually enable for all

3. **Rollback Plan**
   - Can disable multi-agent via config
   - Can rollback to Sprint 3 without data loss
   - Feature flag available

### Configuration

```python
# Enable multi-agent execution
lead_agent = LeadAgent(project_id=1, db=db)
await lead_agent.start_multi_agent_execution(
    max_concurrent=5,  # Max concurrent agents
    max_retries=3,     # Max retry attempts
    timeout=300        # Execution timeout (seconds)
)

# Or use single-agent mode (Sprint 3 style)
result = lead_agent.execute_task(task)  # Backward compatible
```

---

## Demo Script

### Prerequisites

1. Backend server running on `http://localhost:8000`
2. Frontend dev server on `http://localhost:3000`
3. Database initialized with `codeframe.db`
4. Environment variables set (`.env` file)

### Demo Flow

**1. Create Project with Dependencies** (5 minutes)

```bash
# Create project
POST /projects {
  "name": "E-commerce Feature",
  "description": "Build product catalog with frontend and tests"
}

# Create 6 tasks with dependencies
# Task 1: Product API (no dependencies)
# Task 2: Product Model (no dependencies)
# Task 3: Product Tests (depends on 1,2)
# Task 4: Product List Component (depends on 1)
# Task 5: Product Detail Component (depends on 1)
# Task 6: Integration Tests (depends on 3,4,5)
```

**2. Start Multi-Agent Execution** (2 minutes)

```bash
# Via API
POST /projects/1/start-multi-agent
{
  "max_concurrent": 5,
  "max_retries": 3
}

# Or via CLI
codeframe execute --project 1 --multi-agent --concurrent 5
```

**3. Observe in Dashboard** (10 minutes)

1. Open `http://localhost:3000/projects/1`
2. Watch agent pool populate (3 agents created)
3. See parallel execution (backend + frontend working simultaneously)
4. Observe dependency blocking (Task 6 waits for 3,4,5)
5. Monitor real-time updates:
   - Agent status changes
   - Task progress updates
   - Dependency visualization
   - Activity feed events

**4. Verify Results** (3 minutes)

1. Check all 6 tasks completed
2. Verify agents retired after completion
3. Review activity feed for lifecycle events
4. Check no errors in logs

**Expected Timeline**: Tasks 1,2 start immediately → Task 3 after 1,2 complete → Tasks 4,5 after 1 completes → Task 6 after 3,4,5 complete
