Background and Context

The _analyze_dependencies() method (lines 202-225) and _score_relevance() method (lines 254-280) in src/cleveragents/agents/graphs/context_analysis.py both return early when processing encounters an error on a single file. This stops the entire analysis workflow instead of continuing with other files.

This violates the principle of graceful degradation and prevents partial results from being returned. When processing a batch of files, if one file fails to process, the entire analysis stops and users receive no results instead of partial results from the successfully processed files.

Expected Behavior

The analysis methods should:

  1. Continue processing all files even if some fail
  2. Accumulate errors and return them alongside partial results
  3. Return partial analysis results for successfully processed files
  4. Allow users to see what was successfully analyzed and what failed

Acceptance Criteria

  • _analyze_dependencies() processes all files without early returns on error
  • _score_relevance() processes all files without early returns on error
  • Errors are accumulated and returned with partial results
  • All successfully processed files have their results included in the output
  • Error messages clearly indicate which files failed and why
  • Unit tests verify all files are processed even when some fail
  • Integration tests confirm partial results are returned on partial failure

Subtasks

  • Remove early return statements from _analyze_dependencies() method
  • Remove early return statements from _score_relevance() method
  • Implement error accumulation mechanism in both methods
  • Update method signatures to support returning partial results with errors
  • Add unit tests for error handling in _analyze_dependencies()
  • Add unit tests for error handling in _score_relevance()
  • Add integration test with mixed valid/invalid files
  • Update documentation to reflect graceful degradation behavior

Definition of Done

  • All early returns on error have been removed from both methods
  • Error accumulation is implemented and tested
  • Partial results are returned when some files fail
  • All new tests pass and existing tests continue to pass
  • Code coverage remains >= 97%
  • Changes are documented in commit message and docstrings
