## Executive Summary

This PR extracts event handler setup logic from `bootstrap.ts` into a dedicated `handler-setup.ts` module. The refactoring **reduces complexity** in the main bootstrap file while introducing a well-structured, testable module.

**Net Impact**: POSITIVE - Complexity reduced through proper separation of concerns.

| Metric | Before | After | Change |
|--------|--------|-------|--------|
| bootstrap.ts lines | 525 | 376 | -149 (-28%) |
| Result checks in bootstrap | 33 | 17 | -16 (-48%) |
| Total lines (including new module) | 525 | 618 | +93 (+18%) |
| Test coverage | 0 | 218 lines | +218 |

## BLOCKING - Issues in Your Changes

### NONE FOUND

The code added in this PR follows the project's established patterns:
- Uses Result types consistently
- Proper dependency injection
- Clear error messages with context
- Proper cleanup on failure paths

---

## HIGH - Issues in Code You Touched (Should Fix)

### 1. Repetitive Dependency Extraction Pattern
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/src/services/handler-setup.ts:82-127`
**Severity**: MEDIUM

The `extractHandlerDependencies` function has 10 sequential, repetitive dependency extractions:

```typescript
const configResult = getDependency<Configuration>(container, 'config');
if (!configResult.ok) return configResult;

const loggerResult = getDependency<Logger>(container, 'logger');
if (!loggerResult.ok) return loggerResult;
// ... repeats 8 more times
```

**Problem**: High cyclomatic complexity (10 branch points) and WET (Write Everything Twice) code.

**Recommendation**: Consider a bulk extraction pattern:

```typescript
const keys = ['config', 'logger', 'eventBus', ...] as const;
const deps = extractAll<HandlerDependencies>(container, keys);
if (!deps.ok) return deps;
```

**Mitigation**: The current approach has clear error messages identifying which specific dependency failed. This is a trade-off between DRY code and precise error diagnostics. The current approach is acceptable given the importance of debuggability in bootstrap.

---

### 2. Test Uses Internal Implementation Detail
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/tests/unit/services/handler-setup.test.ts:189`
**Severity**: LOW

```typescript
const subscriptionCount = (eventBus as any).handlers?.size ?? 0;
```

**Problem**: Test accesses private `handlers` property via `as any` cast. This couples the test to InMemoryEventBus implementation details.

**Recommendation**: Either:
1. Expose a public `getSubscriptionCount()` method on EventBus interface, OR
2. Test behavior instead of implementation - verify events are actually handled

---

### 3. DependencyHandler Not Tracked in Registry
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/src/services/handler-setup.ts:217-234`
**Severity**: LOW

```typescript
// 7. Dependency Handler - uses factory pattern for async graph initialization
// ARCHITECTURE: Factory pattern ensures handler is fully initialized before use
// Cannot use registry because create() does its own event subscription
const dependencyHandlerResult = await DependencyHandler.create(...)
```

**Problem**: DependencyHandler is created outside the registry, meaning:
1. `registry.shutdown()` won't clean up DependencyHandler
2. Handler count logging is manual (`totalHandlers: standardHandlers.length + 1`)

**Recommendation**: The comment documents the architectural reason (factory pattern with async initialization). However, consider:
1. Store DependencyHandler reference in the returned result for shutdown access
2. Or refactor DependencyHandler to use standard `setup(eventBus)` pattern

**Mitigation**: The code is documented and the trade-off is intentional. Not blocking.

---

## INFORMATIONAL - Pre-existing Issues (Not Blocking)

### 1. Bootstrap Still Has High Complexity
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/src/bootstrap.ts`
**Severity**: INFORMATIONAL

The `bootstrap()` function remains at ~270 lines with 17 Result checks. While improved from 33 checks, further extraction opportunities exist:
- Database/repository registration (lines 178-204)
- Service registration (lines 206-286)

This is NOT introduced by this PR - it's pre-existing technical debt that this PR partially addresses.

---

### 2. getFromContainer Throws Instead of Returning Result
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/src/bootstrap.ts:79-85`
**Severity**: INFORMATIONAL

Pre-existing pattern where `getFromContainer` throws. Documented in code comments but inconsistent with Result-pattern philosophy.

---

## Complexity Analysis Detail

### Cyclomatic Complexity

| Function | Complexity | Assessment |
|----------|------------|------------|
| `getDependency<T>()` | 2 | LOW - Simple helper |
| `extractHandlerDependencies()` | 11 | MEDIUM - Sequential checks, acceptable |
| `setupEventHandlers()` | 6 | LOW - Linear flow with error handling |

**Total for handler-setup.ts**: 19 (MEDIUM - within acceptable range)

### Readability Assessment

**GOOD**:
- Clear function names (`extractHandlerDependencies`, `setupEventHandlers`)
- Comprehensive JSDoc comments
- Architecture decision comments (ARCHITECTURE: ...)
- Numbered handler comments (// 1. Persistence Handler, // 2. Query Handler, etc.)

**ACCEPTABLE**:
- 10-dependency extraction is verbose but explicit
- Each dependency failure produces a clear, specific error

### Maintainability Assessment

**IMPROVEMENTS**:
1. Adding new handlers is now straightforward - add to `standardHandlers` array
2. Handler dependencies are explicitly typed via `HandlerDependencies` interface
3. Handler setup is now independently testable (9 passing tests)
4. bootstrap.ts reduced from 525 to 376 lines

**CONCERNS**:
1. DependencyHandler special-casing may confuse future maintainers
2. Two different patterns in same file (registry vs factory)

---

## Test Coverage Analysis

**New Test File**: `/workspace/delegate/tests/unit/services/handler-setup.test.ts`

| Test Suite | Tests | Status |
|------------|-------|--------|
| extractHandlerDependencies | 4 | PASS |
| setupEventHandlers | 5 | PASS |
| **Total** | **9** | **ALL PASS** |

**Coverage Assessment**: GOOD
- Tests dependency extraction success and failure cases
- Tests handler setup and registry lifecycle
- Tests error propagation

**Missing Coverage**:
- No test for DependencyHandler creation failure path
- No test for registry initialization failure mid-way

---

## Summary

**Your Changes:**
- CRITICAL: 0
- HIGH: 0
- MEDIUM: 1 (repetitive extraction pattern - acceptable trade-off)
- LOW: 2 (test implementation detail, DependencyHandler outside registry)

**Code You Touched:**
- All issues are in the new module, categorized above

**Pre-existing:**
- INFORMATIONAL: 2 (bootstrap complexity, getFromContainer throws)

**Complexity Score**: 7/10 (GOOD)

The refactoring achieves its goal: extracting handler setup into a testable, maintainable module while reducing bootstrap.ts complexity by 28%.

---

## Merge Recommendation

**APPROVED**

**Rationale**:
1. No CRITICAL or HIGH blocking issues
2. Code follows project patterns (Result types, DI, immutability)
3. All tests pass (9 new tests + existing test suite)
4. Build succeeds with no TypeScript errors
5. Net complexity reduction in bootstrap.ts
6. MEDIUM issues are documented trade-offs, not defects

**Suggested Follow-ups** (Optional, in separate PRs):
1. Consider extracting database/service registration from bootstrap.ts
2. Add test for DependencyHandler creation failure path
3. Consider refactoring DependencyHandler to use standard registry pattern
