## Git Workflow Integration

### CRITICAL: Human-in-the-Loop Workflow

**Read:** `.claude/workflows/human-in-the-loop-git.md` for authoritative workflow.

**Agents CAN:**
- ✅ `git checkout develop` - Switch to develop branch
- ✅ `git pull origin develop` - Update from remote
- ✅ `git checkout -b TICKET-NUMBER-descriptive-name` - Create investigation branches
- ✅ `git add .` or `git add <files>` - Stage changes (investigation scripts, test files)
- ✅ `git status` - Check status
- ✅ `git diff` - View changes
- ✅ Read/Write/Edit files (investigation scripts, bug reports, test cases)
- ✅ Run tests, queries, diagnostics

**Agents CANNOT:**
- ❌ `git commit` - Only Mick (human) commits
- ❌ `git push` - Only Mick (human) pushes

**Mick (human) MUST:**
- ✅ Review staged changes
- ✅ Authorize and execute `git commit`
- ✅ Execute `git push`
- ✅ Signal completion (e.g., "DEV-BE-XX-bug-investigation pushed")

### Branch Naming for Investigations

**Format:** `TICKET-NUMBER-bug-investigation-description`

**Examples:**
- ✅ `DEV-BE-75-risoluzione-63-search-bug`
- ✅ `DEV-FE-010-citation-rendering-issue`
- ✅ `DEV-BE-80-slow-query-investigation`
- ❌ `bug-fix` (missing ticket number)
- ❌ `investigation` (not descriptive)

### Pull Request Rules

**CRITICAL - MUST FOLLOW:**
- ✅ **PRs ALWAYS target `develop` branch**
- ❌ **PRs NEVER target `master` branch**

**Example (CORRECT):**
```bash
gh pr create --base develop --head DEV-BE-75-risoluzione-63-search-bug
```

**Example (WRONG - DO NOT USE):**
```bash
gh pr create --base master --head DEV-BE-75-risoluzione-63-search-bug
```

**Note:** Tiziano typically does NOT create PRs. Investigation findings are reported to Ottavio, who creates tasks for Ezio/Livia to implement fixes. PRs are created by Silvano after Mick commits/pushes the fix.

---

## Investigation Workflow

### Phase 1: Bug Verification (Hour 0-1)

**Step 1: Understand Bug Report**
1. **Read** bug description from ticket or user report
2. **Identify** expected vs. actual behavior
3. **Gather** reproduction steps from reporter
4. **Collect** relevant context:
   - User query or action
   - Expected result
   - Actual result
   - Environment (dev, QA, production)
   - Timestamp (if available)
   - trace_id or request_id (if available)

**Step 2: Initial Verification**
1. **Attempt reproduction** in local environment
2. **Document** whether bug reproduces
3. **If reproduces:** Proceed to Phase 2
4. **If does NOT reproduce:** Investigate environmental differences

**Step 3: Create Investigation Branch**
```bash
git checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git checkout -b TICKET-NUMBER-bug-investigation-description
```

---

### Phase 2: Root Cause Analysis (Hour 1-4)

**Step 1: Hypothesis Formation**
1. **Identify potential causes** based on symptoms
2. **Prioritize hypotheses** by likelihood
3. **Design tests** to validate each hypothesis

**Step 2: Systematic Investigation**

**For Search/Retrieval Bugs:**
1. **Check data layer:**
   - Does document exist in database?
   - Are embeddings generated correctly?
   - Are indexes present and healthy?
   ```bash
   PGPASSWORD=devpass psql -h localhost -U aifinance -d aifinance -c "
   SELECT id, title, category FROM knowledge_items
   WHERE title ILIKE '%search term%' LIMIT 10;
   "
   ```

2. **Check search layer:**
   - Does full-text search find the document?
   - Does vector search find the document?
   - What are the BM25 and vector scores?
   ```python
   # Write test script: investigate_search_bug.py
   from app.retrieval.postgres_retriever import PostgresRetriever

   retriever = PostgresRetriever()
   results = retriever.hybrid_search(query="search term", limit=10)
   print(f"Found {len(results)} results")
   for result in results:
       print(f"  - {result.title} (BM25: {result.bm25_score}, Vector: {result.vector_score})")
   ```

3. **Check orchestration layer:**
   - Is LangGraph pipeline filtering results?
   - Is caching returning stale data?
   - Are there query normalization issues?

**For Performance Bugs:**
1. **Profile query execution:**
   ```sql
   EXPLAIN ANALYZE <slow_query>;
   ```
2. **Check for N+1 queries** (SQLAlchemy lazy loading)
3. **Inspect cache hit rates** (Redis stats)
4. **Analyze LLM API latency** (token counting, streaming)

**For Data Bugs:**
1. **Inspect database state** at time of error
2. **Check for race conditions** (concurrent updates)
3. **Verify data validation** (Pydantic models)
4. **Review migration history** (Alembic versions)

**Step 3: Write Minimal Failing Test**
```python
# File: tests/investigation/test_risoluzione_63_bug.py
import pytest
from app.retrieval.postgres_retriever import PostgresRetriever

def test_risoluzione_63_should_be_found():
    """
    Bug: Query 'Di cosa parla la risoluzione 63' returns no results
    Expected: Document with ID 82 (Risoluzione 63/E/2022) should be found
    """
    retriever = PostgresRetriever()
    results = retriever.hybrid_search(
        query="Di cosa parla la risoluzione 63 dell'agenzia delle entrate?",
        limit=10
    )

    # Assert document is in results
    titles = [r.title for r in results]
    assert any("63" in title for title in titles), \
        f"Expected Risoluzione 63 in results, got: {titles}"
```

**Step 4: Run Tests**
```bash
uv run pytest tests/investigation/test_risoluzione_63_bug.py -v
```

## Example Investigation: Risoluzione 63 Bug

**Reference:** DEV-BE-75 (Risoluzione 63 Search Bug Investigation)

### Bug Report
**User Query:** "Di cosa parla la risoluzione 63 dell'agenzia delle entrate?"
**System Response:** "Non ho trovato la Risoluzione n. 63 nel database."
**Expected:** Document should be found (if it exists)

### Investigation Process

**Phase 1: Verification (30 min)**
1. ✅ Verified document exists in database (ID: 82, title contains "63")
2. ✅ Confirmed FTS index functional
3. ❌ Could NOT reproduce bug - query finds document correctly

**Phase 2: Hypothesis Testing (2 hours)**

**Hypothesis 1: Document doesn't exist**
- ❌ Ruled out - Database query shows document exists
```sql
SELECT id, title, category FROM knowledge_items
WHERE title ILIKE '%63%' LIMIT 5;
-- Result: Found ID 82 "Risoluzione 63/E/2022"
```

**Hypothesis 2: FTS index broken**
- ❌ Ruled out - Direct FTS query finds document
```sql
SELECT ki.title, ts_rank(kc.search_vector, query) AS rank
FROM knowledge_chunks kc
JOIN knowledge_items ki ON kc.knowledge_item_id = ki.id,
websearch_to_tsquery('italian', 'risoluzione 63') query
WHERE kc.search_vector @@ query
ORDER BY rank DESC LIMIT 5;
-- Result: Document ranked #2
```

**Hypothesis 3: LangGraph orchestration filtering results**
- ⏳ Cannot verify without trace_id from original request
- Possible that upstream pipeline filtered result before returning to user

**Hypothesis 4: Timing issue (query before document existed)**
- ✅ Likely - Document created 2025-11-10, user may have queried before this date

**Phase 3: Conclusion**
- **Status:** ❌ Cannot Reproduce (bug not present in current codebase)
- **Root Cause:** Likely timing issue or LangGraph orchestration (needs trace_id to confirm)
- **Recommendation:**
  1. Ask user for exact timestamp and trace_id of failing request
  2. If user can reproduce, capture full request/response cycle
  3. Consider adding instrumentation to LangGraph pipeline for better debugging

### Artifacts Created
- `investigate_risoluzione_63_bug.py` - Reproduction script
- `test_risoluzione_63_bm25.py` - BM25 search tests
- `test_risoluzione_63_end_to_end.py` - End-to-end tests
- `INVESTIGATION_REPORT_RISOLUZIONE_63.md` - Full report
- `SUMMARY_FOR_OTTAVIO.md` - Executive summary

**Result:** All 15 test cases PASS ✅ - Bug cannot be reproduced

---

## Common Bug Patterns & Investigation Strategies

### Pattern 1: Search Returns No Results (But Should)

**Investigation Checklist:**
1. ✅ Document exists in `knowledge_items` table
2. ✅ Embeddings exist in `knowledge_chunks` table
3. ✅ FTS index exists and functional (`\d+ knowledge_chunks`)
4. ✅ Vector index exists and functional (`\d+ knowledge_chunks`)
5. ✅ Query normalization not over-aggressive
6. ✅ BM25 scoring not excluding document (check rank threshold)
7. ✅ Vector scoring not excluding document (check cosine similarity threshold)
8. ✅ Recency scoring not penalizing too heavily
9. ✅ LangGraph pipeline not filtering results
10. ✅ Cache not returning stale empty result

**Debugging Commands:**
```bash
# Check if document exists
PGPASSWORD=devpass psql -h localhost -U aifinance -d aifinance -c "
SELECT id, title FROM knowledge_items WHERE title ILIKE '%search term%';
"

# Test BM25 directly
PGPASSWORD=devpass psql -h localhost -U aifinance -d aifinance -c "
SELECT ki.title, ts_rank(kc.search_vector, query) AS rank
FROM knowledge_chunks kc
JOIN knowledge_items ki ON kc.knowledge_item_id = ki.id,
websearch_to_tsquery('italian', 'search term') query
WHERE kc.search_vector @@ query
ORDER BY rank DESC LIMIT 10;
"

# Test vector search (need to generate embedding first)
# Write Python script for this
```

---

### Pattern 2: Slow Query Performance

**Investigation Checklist:**
1. ✅ Run EXPLAIN ANALYZE on slow query
2. ✅ Check if indexes are being used (vs Sequential Scan)
3. ✅ Look for N+1 query patterns (SQLAlchemy lazy loading)
4. ✅ Check for missing indexes on frequently queried columns
5. ✅ Analyze table statistics (`ANALYZE table_name;`)
6. ✅ Check for lock contention (`SELECT * FROM pg_locks;`)
7. ✅ Profile LLM API latency (separate from database latency)

**Debugging Commands:**
```sql
-- Get query plan
EXPLAIN ANALYZE <slow_query>;

-- Check index usage
SELECT schemaname, tablename, indexname, idx_scan
FROM pg_stat_user_indexes
WHERE idx_scan = 0  -- Unused indexes
ORDER BY schemaname, tablename;

-- Find slow queries
SELECT query, mean_exec_time, calls
FROM pg_stat_statements
ORDER BY mean_exec_time DESC
LIMIT 10;
```

---

### Pattern 3: Async/Await Issues (Python)

**Common Issues:**
- Calling async function without `await`
- Mixing sync and async code
- Event loop already running
- Deadlocks in async code

**Investigation Strategy:**
1. Add extensive logging to async functions
2. Use `asyncio.create_task()` to run concurrent tasks
3. Check for blocking operations in async functions (e.g., sync database calls)
4. Verify FastAPI dependency injection returns awaitable

**Example Debug Code:**
```python
import logging
import asyncio

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

async def debug_async_function():
    logger.info("Starting async function")
    await asyncio.sleep(0.1)  # Simulate async work
    logger.info("Async function completed")
    return "result"

# Call with proper await
result = await debug_async_function()
```

---

### Pattern 4: Pydantic Validation Errors

**Common Issues:**
- Required field missing
- Type mismatch (str vs int)
- Custom validator failing
- Pydantic V1 vs V2 syntax

**Investigation Strategy:**
```python
from pydantic import ValidationError

try:
    model = MyModel(**data)
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e.errors())  # Detailed error information
    # Example output:
    # [{'loc': ('field_name',), 'msg': 'field required', 'type': 'value_error.missing'}]
```
