Background

The v3_plans table (code) / plans table (spec) has several schema mismatches against the specification DDL (lines 45369-45401):

Critical: Missing Column

  • effective_profile_snapshot (spec line 45378): TEXT NOT NULL — frozen JSON snapshot of the automation profile at plan creation time. No corresponding column in LifecyclePlanModel (models.py).

High: Nullability Mismatches

  • root_plan_id: Spec says NOT NULL (line 45372); code has nullable=True (models.py:580). Root plans should self-reference.
  • automation_profile_name: Spec says NOT NULL (line 45377); code column automation_profile is nullable=True (models.py:617).

High: Default Value Mismatch

  • phase: Spec default is 'strategize' (line 45374); code default is 'action' (models.py:597). This may be intentional (the code added an Action phase that starts before Strategize), but needs to be reconciled with spec.

Medium: Column Name Mismatches

  • stateprocessing_state (spec line 45375 vs code)
  • automation_profile_nameautomation_profile (spec line 45377 vs code)
  • *_actor_name*_actor (suffix _name dropped for strategy_actor, execution_actor, estimation_actor, invariant_actor)
  • error_tracebackerror_details_json (spec line 45394 vs code)

Low: Table Name

  • Spec says plans; code uses v3_plans (evolution artifact)

Acceptance Criteria

  • effective_profile_snapshot column added (TEXT NOT NULL, stores frozen JSON of automation profile at plan creation)
  • root_plan_id made NOT NULL (root plans should self-reference their own ID)
  • automation_profile made NOT NULL (or default value provided)
  • phase default reconciled with spec (document deviation if Action phase is intentional)
  • Column name mismatches evaluated — either renamed to match spec or documented as intentional conventions
  • Alembic migration created for schema changes
  • Existing tests pass

Definition of Done

Code merged to main, v3_plans table schema matches spec DDL for nullability, defaults, and required columns.

## Background The `v3_plans` table (code) / `plans` table (spec) has several schema mismatches against the specification DDL (lines 45369-45401): ### Critical: Missing Column - **`effective_profile_snapshot`** (spec line 45378): TEXT NOT NULL — frozen JSON snapshot of the automation profile at plan creation time. No corresponding column in `LifecyclePlanModel` (`models.py`). ### High: Nullability Mismatches - **`root_plan_id`**: Spec says NOT NULL (`line 45372`); code has `nullable=True` (`models.py:580`). Root plans should self-reference. - **`automation_profile_name`**: Spec says NOT NULL (`line 45377`); code column `automation_profile` is `nullable=True` (`models.py:617`). ### High: Default Value Mismatch - **`phase`**: Spec default is `'strategize'` (`line 45374`); code default is `'action'` (`models.py:597`). This may be intentional (the code added an Action phase that starts before Strategize), but needs to be reconciled with spec. ### Medium: Column Name Mismatches - `state` → `processing_state` (spec line 45375 vs code) - `automation_profile_name` → `automation_profile` (spec line 45377 vs code) - `*_actor_name` → `*_actor` (suffix `_name` dropped for strategy_actor, execution_actor, estimation_actor, invariant_actor) - `error_traceback` → `error_details_json` (spec line 45394 vs code) ### Low: Table Name - Spec says `plans`; code uses `v3_plans` (evolution artifact) ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] `effective_profile_snapshot` column added (TEXT NOT NULL, stores frozen JSON of automation profile at plan creation) - [ ] `root_plan_id` made NOT NULL (root plans should self-reference their own ID) - [ ] `automation_profile` made NOT NULL (or default value provided) - [ ] `phase` default reconciled with spec (document deviation if Action phase is intentional) - [ ] Column name mismatches evaluated — either renamed to match spec or documented as intentional conventions - [ ] Alembic migration created for schema changes - [ ] Existing tests pass ## Metadata - **Suggested commit message:** `fix(db): align v3_plans schema with specification DDL` - **Suggested branch name:** `fix/plans-table-schema-alignment` ## Definition of Done Code merged to `main`, `v3_plans` table schema matches spec DDL for nullability, defaults, and required columns.

Implementation Notes

Changes (commit 3019c9d4)

  1. Added effective_profile_snapshot column: TEXT NOT NULL with default "{}". Stores frozen JSON snapshot of the automation profile at plan creation time. Added corresponding field to the Plan domain model.

  2. root_plan_id made NOT NULL: Root plans now self-reference their own plan_id. Updated from_domain() to default root_plan_id to plan_id when None.

  3. automation_profile made NOT NULL: Default value "balanced". Added try/except in to_domain() for JSON parsing of bare string values.

  4. Documented phase default deviation: Added comment explaining that code uses "action" (pre-Strategize setup step) vs spec's "strategize".

  5. Alembic migration m8_001_align_plans_schema: Backfills existing rows before applying NOT NULL constraints.

Migration Note

The true Alembic head was m4_003_plan_env_columns (not m7_001 as stated in the issue). The migration's down_revision was set accordingly.

Test Impact

  • Updated 8 step definition files that directly construct LifecyclePlanModel objects to include required root_plan_id and effective_profile_snapshot fields
  • Added 5 Behave scenarios, 3 Robot tests

Planning Agent — Discussion Review

@CoreRasurae — Good implementation notes on PR #1074. A few observations:

Approved decisions:

  • effective_profile_snapshot as TEXT NOT NULL with default "{}": Correct approach for freezing the automation profile at plan creation time. This prevents retroactive behavior changes when profiles are modified.
  • root_plan_id self-referencing for root plans: Clean pattern. The from_domain() defaulting root_plan_id to plan_id when None is a reasonable convention.
  • automation_profile NOT NULL with default "balanced": Aligns with spec.

Items to verify:

  1. Migration head discrepancy: You noted the true Alembic head was m4_003_plan_env_columns, not m7_001 as stated in the issue. This is important — it means there may be migration ordering assumptions elsewhere that are wrong. @freemo — please verify the migration chain is correct and no other issues reference the wrong head.

  2. phase default deviation: You documented that code uses "action" (pre-Strategize setup step) vs spec's "strategize". This is a spec deviation that should be tracked. If the deviation is intentional, it should be documented in a spec errata or the spec should be updated. If unintentional, it is a separate bug.

  3. Coverage note: You mention the full sequential coverage run timed out and report an estimated 97%+. Per CONTRIBUTING.md §Coverage Thresholds, coverage must be measured, not estimated. Please confirm the actual coverage number passes the threshold.

Test impact: Updating 8 step definition files is expected given the schema change. The 5 Behave + 3 Robot tests added is appropriate.

Overall, solid work. The State/In Review label is correct — pending review of the above items.
