## Summary of Changes

This branch introduces type safety improvements to the repository layer:

1. **DependencyRow interface** (`/workspace/delegate/src/implementations/dependency-repository.ts:15-26`)
   - Replaces `Record<string, any>` with explicit row type
   - 7 usages updated throughout the file

2. **TaskRow interface** (`/workspace/delegate/src/implementations/task-repository.ts:13-43`)
   - Replaces `Record<string, any>` with explicit row type
   - 4 usages updated throughout the file

3. **Type assertions with narrowing** (`/workspace/delegate/src/implementations/task-repository.ts:240-241`)
   - Adds proper type casting for `worktreeCleanup` and `mergeStrategy`

4. **Configurable maxChainDepth** (`/workspace/delegate/src/services/handlers/dependency-handler.ts:24-32`)
   - Exports `DEFAULT_MAX_DEPENDENCY_CHAIN_DEPTH`
   - Adds `DependencyHandlerOptions` interface

5. **Performance improvement** (`/workspace/delegate/src/services/handlers/queue-handler.ts:349-354`)
   - Replaces `getQueueStats()` returning `{ size: number; tasks: readonly any[] }` with `getQueueSize(): number`

## Issues in Your Changes (BLOCKING)

No blocking issues found. All changes improve type safety.

## Issues in Code You Touched (Should Fix)

### 1. [MEDIUM] Result<any> return type in deprecated method

**File**: `/workspace/delegate/src/services/handlers/queue-handler.ts`
**Line**: 231

```typescript
async getNextTask(): Promise<Result<any>> {
```

**Problem**: The deprecated `getNextTask()` method returns `Result<any>` instead of `Result<Task | null>`.

**Impact**: This method is marked `@deprecated` but still exists. The `any` type loses type safety for callers.

**Recommendation**: Change to `Promise<Result<Task | null>>` for type safety until method is removed.

---

### 2. [LOW] Type assertion without validation in rowToDependency

**File**: `/workspace/delegate/src/implementations/dependency-repository.ts`
**Line**: 537

```typescript
resolution: row.resolution as 'pending' | 'completed' | 'failed' | 'cancelled'
```

**Problem**: Type assertion assumes database value is valid. The new CHECK constraint (migration v2) provides defense-in-depth at DB level, but runtime validation could be added for extra safety.

**Note**: The CHECK constraint in `database.ts` migration v2 (line 289) provides database-level enforcement:
```sql
CHECK (resolution IN ('pending', 'completed', 'failed', 'cancelled'))
```

**Impact**: Low - DB constraint prevents invalid values, but assertion could mask corrupted data.

**Recommendation**: Consider adding runtime validation or using a type guard for defense-in-depth.

---

### 3. [LOW] Type assertion without validation in rowToTask

**File**: `/workspace/delegate/src/implementations/task-repository.ts`
**Lines**: 234-241

```typescript
status: row.status as TaskStatus,
priority: row.priority as Priority,
worktreeCleanup: (row.worktree_cleanup || 'auto') as 'auto' | 'keep' | 'delete',
mergeStrategy: (row.merge_strategy || 'pr') as 'auto' | 'pr' | 'manual' | 'patch',
```

**Problem**: Multiple type assertions assume database values match expected enums/unions. No runtime validation.

**Impact**: Low - If database contains invalid values, they would be silently cast to the expected types.

**Recommendation**: Consider using type guards or Zod schemas for row validation at the repository boundary.

---

## Pre-existing Issues (Not Blocking)

### 1. [INFORMATIONAL] Multiple `as any` casts in queue-handler.ts

**File**: `/workspace/delegate/src/services/handlers/queue-handler.ts`
**Lines**: 158, 160, 167, 169, 183, 185

```typescript
const correlationId = (event as any).__correlationId;
(this.eventBus as any).respondError(correlationId, result.error);
(this.eventBus as any).respond(correlationId, null);
```

**Problem**: EventBus correlation ID handling uses `as any` to access internal properties.

**Impact**: Type safety is bypassed for request-response correlation.

**Recommendation**: Consider adding proper typing to EventBus for request-response pattern (separate PR).

---

### 2. [INFORMATIONAL] `as any` in task-queue.ts

**File**: `/workspace/delegate/src/implementations/task-queue.ts`
**Lines**: 66, 75, 107, 189, 190

**Problem**: Internal `__insertionOrder` property uses `as any` for augmented Task type.

**Recommendation**: Consider creating `TaskWithOrder` internal type (separate PR).

---

## TypeScript Configuration Analysis

**tsconfig.json** has proper strict settings:
- `"strict": true` - Enables all strict type-checking options
- `"noImplicitReturns": true` - Catches missing returns

**Missing recommended options**:
- `"noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true` - Not set (recommended)
- `"noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true` - Not set (optional, stricter)
- `"exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true` - Not set (optional, stricter)

---

## Summary

**Your Changes:**
- CRITICAL: 0
- HIGH: 0
- MEDIUM: 1 (Result<any> in deprecated method)

**Code You Touched:**
- HIGH: 0
- MEDIUM: 0
- LOW: 2 (type assertions without validation)

**Pre-existing:**
- MEDIUM: 0
- LOW: 0
- INFORMATIONAL: 2

**Typescript Score**: 8/10

The branch significantly improves type safety by:
1. Replacing `Record<string, any>` with explicit row interfaces
2. Adding proper type assertions for union types
3. Adding database CHECK constraint for resolution values
4. Making maxChainDepth configurable with proper typing

**Merge Recommendation**: APPROVED

The changes are a net positive for type safety. The `Result<any>` issue is in deprecated code scheduled for removal. All other items are informational or low priority.
