## 🔴 Issues in Your Changes (BLOCKING)

### CRITICAL: Missing Error Case Tests

**File**: `tests/unit/core/dependency-graph.test.ts`
**Lines**: 473-629 (new getMaxDepth tests)

**Issue 1: No test for getMaxDepth() with cycles**
```typescript
// MISSING TEST CASE:
it('should handle getMaxDepth() on graph with cycles gracefully', () => {
  // Although wouldCreateCycle() prevents cycles during insertion,
  // getMaxDepth() has defensive cycle detection (line 386-388 in implementation)
  // This code path is NEVER tested
  const dependencies: TaskDependency[] = [
    { id: 1, taskId: TaskId('A'), dependsOnTaskId: TaskId('B'), ... },
    { id: 2, taskId: TaskId('B'), dependsOnTaskId: TaskId('A'), ... }, // Hypothetical cycle
  ];
  const graph = new DependencyGraph(dependencies);
  const result = graph.getMaxDepth(TaskId('A'));
  // What should happen? Return 0? Return error?
  // Currently returns 0 silently - is this correct behavior?
});
```

**Impact**: The defensive cycle check at line 386-388 (`if (currentPath.has(node))`) is untested. If the graph somehow contains a cycle (database corruption, race condition), behavior is undefined.

**Rationale**: The implementation has cycle detection logic that returns 0 on cycle detection, but this is never validated. This is a defensive code path that should be tested.

**Fix**: Add test that manually constructs a graph with a cycle (bypassing wouldCreateCycle validation) and verifies getMaxDepth behavior.

---

**Issue 2: No test for getMaxDepth() returning error**
```typescript
// The function signature is: getMaxDepth(taskId: TaskId): Result<number>
// But the implementation ALWAYS returns ok(depth) - never returns err()
// Lines 375-425 in src/core/dependency-graph.ts

// Either:
// 1. Change signature to return number instead of Result<number>
// 2. Add error cases and test them
```

**Impact**: Type signature promises Result pattern but implementation never returns errors. This violates the Result pattern contract and creates dead code paths in callers (like line 243 in dependency-repository.ts that checks `if (!depthCheck.ok)`).

**Rationale**: Result types should only be used when errors are possible. If getMaxDepth() cannot fail, it should return `number`, not `Result<number>`.

**Fix**: Either add error cases (e.g., invalid taskId, graph corruption) OR change return type to `number`.

---

### HIGH: Missing Edge Case - Empty Graph with Unknown TaskId

**File**: `tests/unit/core/dependency-graph.test.ts`
**Lines**: 474-482

**Issue**: Test "should return depth 0 for task with no dependencies" creates empty graph and queries a taskId that doesn't exist:
```typescript
it('should return depth 0 for task with no dependencies', () => {
  const graph = new DependencyGraph(); // Empty graph
  const result = graph.getMaxDepth(TaskId('task-A')); // task-A not in graph
  
  expect(result.ok).toBe(true);
  if (!result.ok) return;
  expect(result.value).toBe(0); // Returns 0 for non-existent task
});
```

**This is testing TWO behaviors**:
1. Task with no dependencies → depth 0 ✅
2. Non-existent task → depth 0 ❌ (implicit, unclear if intentional)

**Impact**: Unclear API contract. Does getMaxDepth(nonExistentTask) return 0 or error? Current test conflates two cases.

**Fix**: Split into two explicit tests:
```typescript
it('should return depth 0 for task with no dependencies', () => {
  const dependencies: TaskDependency[] = [
    { id: 1, taskId: TaskId('A'), dependsOnTaskId: TaskId('B'), ... }
  ];
  const graph = new DependencyGraph(dependencies);
  const result = graph.getMaxDepth(TaskId('B')); // B exists, has no deps
  expect(result.value).toBe(0);
});

it('should return depth 0 for non-existent task', () => {
  const graph = new DependencyGraph();
  const result = graph.getMaxDepth(TaskId('non-existent'));
  expect(result.value).toBe(0); // Document this behavior explicitly
});
```

---

### HIGH: Flaky Test - Performance Assertion with Hard Timeout

**File**: `tests/unit/core/dependency-graph.test.ts`
**Lines**: 619-628

**Issue**: Test uses hard-coded 10ms timeout for performance validation:
```typescript
it('should use memoization for complex diamond graphs (performance)', () => {
  const startTime = Date.now();
  const result = graph.getMaxDepth(TaskId('A'));
  const endTime = Date.now();
  
  expect(endTime - startTime).toBeLessThan(10); // FLAKY: Hard-coded timeout
});
```

**Problems**:
1. **CI/CD variability**: Slow CI machines may fail this test intermittently
2. **Not testing correctness**: Only testing performance, not memoization logic
3. **False positive**: Fast execution doesn't prove memoization works

**Impact**: Test will become flaky in CI environments with shared resources or during high load.

**Rationale**: Performance tests should not use hard timeouts. They should either:
- Test algorithmic correctness (memoization cache hits)
- Use relative performance comparisons (with vs without memoization)
- Be marked as performance benchmarks, not unit tests

**Fix**: Replace with correctness test:
```typescript
it('should use memoization for complex diamond graphs', () => {
  const graph = new DependencyGraph(dependencies);
  
  // Spy on internal memo cache (if exposed) or test indirectly
  const result1 = graph.getMaxDepth(TaskId('A'));
  const result2 = graph.getMaxDepth(TaskId('A')); // Should use cache
  
  expect(result1.value).toBe(3);
  expect(result2.value).toBe(3);
  
  // Correctness over performance - both calls should work
});
```

OR move to performance benchmark suite with proper thresholds.

## ⚠️ Issues in Code You Touched (Should Fix)

### MEDIUM: Missing Integration Test for Batch Operations

**File**: `tests/integration/task-dependencies.test.ts`

**Issue**: New `addDependencies()` batch method has NO integration tests. Only unit tests exist.

**Gap Analysis**:
- Unit tests cover atomic rollback ✅
- Unit tests cover validation ✅
- Integration tests for batch operations ❌
- Integration tests for TaskDelegatedEvent with multiple deps uses existing flow (calls addDependencies under the hood) ✅ (implicit)

**Impact**: No end-to-end validation that:
1. DependencyHandler correctly calls addDependencies()
2. TaskDependencyAdded events are emitted for each dependency in batch
3. Batch operations integrate correctly with EventBus and QueueHandler

**Existing test at lines 181-237** tests multiple dependencies but goes through TaskManager.delegate(), not directly testing the new batch path.

**Fix**: Add explicit integration test:
```typescript
it('should handle atomic batch dependency addition through event system', async () => {
  // Create tasks
  const taskA = await taskManager.delegate({ prompt: 'Task A' });
  const taskB = await taskManager.delegate({ prompt: 'Task B' });
  const taskC = await taskManager.delegate({ prompt: 'Task C' });
  
  // Add batch dependencies directly (not through delegate)
  const result = await dependencyRepo.addDependencies(
    taskC.value.id, 
    [taskA.value.id, taskB.value.id]
  );
  
  // Verify atomicity and event emission
  expect(result.ok).toBe(true);
  
  // Verify both TaskDependencyAdded events were emitted
  // (requires event spy or verification mechanism)
});
```

---

### MEDIUM: Inadequate Assertions in Rollback Tests

**File**: `tests/unit/implementations/dependency-repository.test.ts`
**Lines**: 254-289 (rollback on cycle detection)

**Issue**: Rollback tests only verify final state, not intermediate state:
```typescript
it('should rollback all dependencies on cycle detection failure', async () => {
  await repo.addDependency(taskA, taskB); // A -> B
  
  const result = await repo.addDependencies(taskB, [taskC, taskA]); // Try B -> [C, A]
  
  expect(result.ok).toBe(false); // ✅ Verified
  
  // Verify B -> C was NOT persisted
  const bDepsResult = await repo.getDependencies(taskB);
  expect(bDepsResult.value).toHaveLength(0); // ✅ Verified final state
  
  // MISSING: Verify transaction atomicity during execution
  // How do we know B -> C was never visible to concurrent reads?
  // SQLite transaction guarantees this, but test doesn't verify isolation
});
```

**Impact**: Tests assume SQLite transaction isolation but don't verify it. If implementation changes to async transactions, tests would still pass while breaking atomicity.

**Rationale**: Tests should validate the contract (atomicity), not just the final state.

**Fix**: Add concurrent read test during transaction:
```typescript
it('should ensure transaction isolation (no partial reads)', async () => {
  // This is difficult to test with synchronous transactions
  // Consider adding a test that verifies cache invalidation happens
  // AFTER successful transaction, not during
  
  const result = await repo.addDependencies(taskZ, deps);
  
  // Verify cache was invalidated exactly once after success
  // (requires cache inspection or mock verification)
});
```

**Alternative**: Add comment documenting that atomicity is guaranteed by SQLite's synchronous transactions and tested implicitly by final state assertions.

### MEDIUM: No Test for Batch Size = 100 (Boundary Value)

**File**: `tests/unit/implementations/dependency-repository.test.ts`
**Lines**: 453-477 (test for > 100 rejection)

**Issue**: Test validates that 101 dependencies are rejected, but no test for exactly 100 dependencies:
```typescript
it('should reject adding more than 100 dependencies in one batch', async () => {
  const deps: TaskId[] = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < 101; i++) { // 101 dependencies
    deps.push(`task-${i}` as TaskId);
  }
  
  const result = await repo.addDependencies(taskZ, deps);
  expect(result.ok).toBe(false); // ✅ Boundary + 1
});

// MISSING: Test for exactly 100 (boundary value)
it('should accept exactly 100 dependencies in one batch', async () => {
  const deps: TaskId[] = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) { // Exactly 100
    deps.push(`task-${i}` as TaskId);
  }
  
  const result = await repo.addDependencies(taskZ, deps);
  expect(result.ok).toBe(true); // Should succeed
  expect(result.value).toHaveLength(100);
});
```

**Impact**: Boundary value (100) is not explicitly tested. Off-by-one errors are common in boundary checks.

**Fix**: Add test for exactly 100 dependencies in single batch.

---

### MEDIUM: Batch Tests Don't Verify Dependency Order

**File**: `tests/unit/implementations/dependency-repository.test.ts`
**Lines**: 223-252

**Issue**: Test verifies dependencies were created but not their order or IDs:
```typescript
it('should successfully add multiple dependencies atomically', async () => {
  const result = await repo.addDependencies(taskC, [taskA, taskB]);
  
  expect(result.value).toHaveLength(2); // ✅
  expect(result.value[0].taskId).toBe(taskC); // ✅
  
  // MISSING: Verify order matches input order
  expect(result.value[0].dependsOnTaskId).toBe(taskA); // Not tested
  expect(result.value[1].dependsOnTaskId).toBe(taskB); // Not tested
  
  // MISSING: Verify IDs are sequential
  expect(result.value[1].id).toBe(result.value[0].id + 1); // Not tested
});
```

**Impact**: If implementation changes insertion order, tests would still pass. API contract is unclear.

**Fix**: Add explicit order verification:
```typescript
expect(result.value[0].dependsOnTaskId).toBe(taskA);
expect(result.value[1].dependsOnTaskId).toBe(taskB);
// Verify dependencies returned in same order as input
```

---

### LOW: Deep Chain Test Uses Magic Number

**File**: `tests/unit/core/dependency-graph.test.ts`
**Lines**: 576-597

**Issue**: Test creates 101-task chain but uses magic number without explanation:
```typescript
it('should handle deep linear chains (101 tasks)', () => {
  const dependencies: TaskDependency[] = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) { // Why 100? Why not 99 or 101?
    dependencies.push({
      id: i + 1,
      taskId: TaskId(`task-${i}`),
      dependsOnTaskId: TaskId(`task-${i + 1}`),
      // ...
    });
  }
  
  expect(result.value).toBe(100); // Depth is 100
});
```

**Issue**: Test name says "101 tasks" but creates 100 dependencies (101 tasks total). This is correct but confusing.

**Fix**: Add comment explaining:
```typescript
it('should handle deep linear chains (101 tasks)', () => {
  // Create chain of 101 tasks: task-0 -> task-1 -> ... -> task-100
  // This creates 100 edges (dependencies) with max depth of 100
  const dependencies: TaskDependency[] = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
    // Creates edges: 0->1, 1->2, ..., 99->100
    dependencies.push({ /* ... */ });
  }
  
  expect(result.value).toBe(100); // Depth from task-0 to task-100
});
```

## ℹ️ Pre-existing Issues (Not Blocking)

### INFO: No Tests for DependencyGraph Error Handling

**File**: `tests/unit/core/dependency-graph.test.ts`

**Observation**: All DependencyGraph methods return `Result<T>` but no tests verify error cases:
- `wouldCreateCycle()` returns `Result<boolean>` but never returns `err()`
- `getMaxDepth()` returns `Result<number>` but never returns `err()`

**Impact**: Result pattern is being used inconsistently. Either errors are possible and untested, or Result is unnecessary overhead.

**Recommendation**: Audit all DependencyGraph methods and either:
1. Add error cases and test them
2. Change return types to non-Result types
3. Document why Result is used even when errors are impossible

---

### INFO: Integration Tests Use Arbitrary Timeouts

**File**: `tests/integration/task-dependencies.test.ts`
**Lines**: 60, 75, 106, 131, 146, 202, etc.

**Issue**: Integration tests use `setTimeout(100)` and `setTimeout(150)` for synchronization:
```typescript
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
```

**Impact**: Tests may be flaky under load or slow CI environments. However, these are integration tests where some delay is expected.

**Recommendation**: Consider using event-driven synchronization instead of fixed timeouts:
```typescript
// Instead of:
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100));

// Use:
await waitForEvent(eventBus, 'TaskDependencyAdded', { timeout: 1000 });
```

---

### INFO: No Tests for Concurrent Batch Operations

**File**: `tests/unit/implementations/dependency-repository.test.ts`

**Observation**: Tests verify single-threaded atomic behavior but not concurrent batch operations:
```typescript
// MISSING TEST:
it('should handle concurrent addDependencies() calls safely', async () => {
  // Simulate two concurrent batch additions
  const promise1 = repo.addDependencies(taskA, [taskB, taskC]);
  const promise2 = repo.addDependencies(taskD, [taskE, taskF]);
  
  const [result1, result2] = await Promise.all([promise1, promise2]);
  
  // Both should succeed without data corruption
  expect(result1.ok && result2.ok).toBe(true);
});
```

**Impact**: SQLite WAL mode should handle this, but it's not explicitly tested.

**Recommendation**: Add concurrent batch operation tests in security or stress test suite.

---

### INFO: getMaxDepth Performance Not Measured

**File**: `tests/unit/core/dependency-graph.test.ts`

**Observation**: Test claims to verify memoization performance (line 599) but only tests execution time < 10ms, not memoization correctness.

**Impact**: Memoization logic is not directly validated. If memoization breaks, test might still pass if algorithm is fast enough.

**Recommendation**: Test memoization correctness instead of performance:
```typescript
it('should use memoization for complex diamond graphs', () => {
  const graph = new DependencyGraph(dependencies);
  
  // Call getMaxDepth multiple times on different nodes
  const depthA1 = graph.getMaxDepth(TaskId('A'));
  const depthB = graph.getMaxDepth(TaskId('B'));
  const depthA2 = graph.getMaxDepth(TaskId('A')); // Should reuse memo
  
  // Verify all results are correct
  expect(depthA1.value).toBe(3);
  expect(depthB.value).toBe(2);
  expect(depthA2.value).toBe(3);
  
  // Memoization correctness is proven if results are consistent
});
```

---

---

## Merge Recommendation: ✅ APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS

**Conditions**:

1. **MUST FIX** (Blocking):
   - Remove hard-coded 10ms timeout in performance test (line 627)
   - Either fix Result pattern in getMaxDepth() OR add tests for error cases

2. **SHOULD FIX** (High Priority):
   - Add test for exactly 100 dependencies boundary value
   - Add explicit order verification in batch dependency tests
   - Split edge case test (non-existent task vs no dependencies)

3. **NICE TO HAVE** (Can defer):
   - Add integration test for batch operations
   - Add concurrent batch operation tests
   - Improve memoization test to verify correctness not performance

**Overall Assessment**:

The new tests provide solid coverage for the batch operations and depth calculation features. The implementation is well-designed with proper atomicity and security limits. However, there are some test quality issues that should be addressed:

1. The flaky performance test will cause CI failures
2. The Result pattern inconsistency creates confusion
3. Missing boundary value tests could hide off-by-one errors

**Recommendation**: Fix the two MUST FIX items before merge. The SHOULD FIX items can be addressed in a follow-up PR but should be prioritized.
