What was tested

Recording decisions with upstream dependencies via DecisionService.record_decision (Strategize phase) and inspecting persistence behaviour through the SQLAlchemy repository.

Expected behaviour (from decision domain spec)

When a decision is recorded with dependency_decision_ids, the system persists those influence edges so that downstream consumers (e.g. correction analysis) can reconstruct the decision DAG after a restart.
The decision_dependencies table (and/or the downstream_decision_ids payload on the decision row) should reflect the dependency list on subsequent reads.

Actual behaviour

DecisionService._record_dependencies only updates the in-memory _dependencies dict. No call writes to the database, and DecisionRepository never touches DecisionDependencyModel.
After a new process / service instance is created (or when reading decisions via the repository), the dependency information is absent because nothing persisted it.
The Decision domain objects therefore always have empty downstream_decision_ids lists when rehydrated from persistence, so downstream dependency tracking fails to round-trip.

Steps to reproduce

Record a decision with dependency_decision_ids using DecisionService.record_decision(...) while a persisted UnitOfWork is wired.
Inspect the resulting DB rows (or rehydrate the decision through DecisionRepository.get). The decision_dependencies table remains empty and the rehydrated Decision has empty downstream_decision_ids.
Restart the service and fetch the plan decision tree – dependency edges are gone, breaking the spec requirement for downstream dependency tracking.

Evidence

DecisionService._record_dependencies (src/cleveragents/application/services/decision_service.py) never persists to the DB.
DecisionRepository lacks any CRUD for DecisionDependencyModel.

## What was tested Recording decisions with upstream dependencies via `DecisionService.record_decision` (Strategize phase) and inspecting persistence behaviour through the SQLAlchemy repository. ## Expected behaviour (from decision domain spec) - When a decision is recorded with `dependency_decision_ids`, the system persists those influence edges so that downstream consumers (e.g. correction analysis) can reconstruct the decision DAG after a restart. - The `decision_dependencies` table (and/or the `downstream_decision_ids` payload on the decision row) should reflect the dependency list on subsequent reads. ## Actual behaviour - `DecisionService._record_dependencies` only updates the in-memory `_dependencies` dict. No call writes to the database, and `DecisionRepository` never touches `DecisionDependencyModel`. - After a new process / service instance is created (or when reading decisions via the repository), the dependency information is absent because nothing persisted it. - The `Decision` domain objects therefore always have empty `downstream_decision_ids` lists when rehydrated from persistence, so downstream dependency tracking fails to round-trip. ## Steps to reproduce 1. Record a decision with `dependency_decision_ids` using `DecisionService.record_decision(...)` while a persisted UnitOfWork is wired. 2. Inspect the resulting DB rows (or rehydrate the decision through `DecisionRepository.get`). The `decision_dependencies` table remains empty and the rehydrated `Decision` has empty `downstream_decision_ids`. 3. Restart the service and fetch the plan decision tree – dependency edges are gone, breaking the spec requirement for downstream dependency tracking. ## Evidence - `DecisionService._record_dependencies` (src/cleveragents/application/services/decision_service.py) never persists to the DB. - `DecisionRepository` lacks any CRUD for `DecisionDependencyModel`. --- **Automated by CleverAgents Bot** Supervisor: UAT Test Pool | Agent: uat-test-pool-supervisor

Issue triaged by project owner:

State: Verified — UAT confirmed: decision dependency edges not persisted to DB
Priority: Priority/Critical — decision DAG persistence is a core acceptance criterion for v3.2.0
Milestone: v3.2.0 — Decision Recording milestone requires dependency edges to persist
Type: Type/Bug
MoSCoW: Must Have — "Decisions are recorded during Strategize with full context snapshots" is a v3.2.0 acceptance criterion

The fix: DecisionService._record_dependencies must persist to DecisionDependencyModel via DecisionRepository.
