## 🎯 Implementation Confidence

### Overall Assessment

| Phase | Complexity | Agent Confidence | Notes |
|-------|-----------|------------------|-------|
| **Phase 1** (Rust) | Medium | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 95% | Clear code changes, specific line numbers |
| **Phase 2** (Python) | Medium | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 95% | Dataclass changes, clear patterns |
| **Phase 3** (Schema) | Medium-High | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 90%+ | **Enhanced with 563 lines of examples** |

**Total:** Ready for agent implementation with **90%+ confidence** across all phases.

### Phase 3 Enhancements (Key Improvement)

**Before enhancements:**
- 70% confidence
- Concerns: Type conversion edge cases, entity field ambiguity

**After enhancements (+563 lines):**
- 90%+ confidence
- Comprehensive type conversion examples
- 4-pattern entity field detection
- 175 lines of test examples
- 200 lines of real-world usage
- 60 lines of smoke tests

## 🚀 How to Implement

### Step 1: Read the Overview
```bash
cat .phases/validation-as-error-v1.8.0/00_OVERVIEW.md
```

**Key sections:**
- Executive summary
- Breaking changes overview
- Rollout strategy

### Step 2: Implement in Order

```bash
# Phase 1: Rust Core (Week 1, Days 1-3)
# - Update response_builder.rs:24 (remove || result.status.is_noop())
# - Add build_error_response_with_code()
# - Add map_status_to_code() (noop→422, not_found→404, etc.)

# Phase 2: Python Layer (Week 1, Days 4-5)
# - Update error_config.py (move noop: to error_prefixes)
# - Add code field to MutationError
# - Update mutation decorator

# Phase 3: Schema Generation (Week 2, Days 1-3)
# - Use enhanced _python_type_to_graphql() (112 lines)
# - Use 4-pattern _is_entity_field() (50 lines)
# - Run smoke tests immediately

# Phase 4: Testing & Docs (Week 2, Days 4-5)
# - Update ~30-50 test assertions
# - Write migration guide
# - Update status strings documentation

# Phase 5: Verification & Release (Week 3)
# - Run full test suite
# - Performance benchmarking
# - Release v1.8.0-beta.1 (CASCADE + validation-as-error)
```

### Step 3: Use Quick Reference

```bash
cat .phases/validation-as-error-v1.8.0/QUICK_REFERENCE.md
```

**Includes:**
- Status code mapping (noop→422, not_found→404, etc.)
- Code changes (Python, GraphQL, TypeScript)
- Response examples
- Migration checklist
- Common pitfalls

## 📊 Version Strategy

### Current State
```
v1.8.0-alpha.5 (CASCADE feature - already implemented)
```

### After Implementation
```
v1.8.0-beta.1 (CASCADE + validation-as-error)
```

### Final Release
```
v1.8.0 GA (both features combined)
```

**No version bump needed yet** - implement all 5 phases first, then bump to beta.1.

## 🔑 Key Changes from Original Plan

| Aspect | Original (v1.9.0) | Adapted (v1.8.0) |
|--------|-------------------|------------------|
| **Version** | v1.9.0-beta.1 | v1.8.0-beta.1 |
| **Previous version** | v1.8.x | v1.7.x |
| **Directory** | `validation-as-error-v1.9.0/` | `validation-as-error-v1.8.0/` |
| **Breaking change** | New major version | Part of existing v1.8.0 |
| **Release** | Separate beta | Combined with CASCADE |
| **PrintOptim deps** | Update to 1.9.0 | Stay on 1.8.0 |

**All implementation code remains identical** - only version numbers in documentation changed.

## 🎓 Architecture Review Results

### Architecturally Sound: ✅ YES

**Strong points:**
- Clear separation of concerns (Rust → Python → Schema)
- Type safety enforced at multiple layers
- REST-like semantics in GraphQL
- Comprehensive error mapping

**Potential concerns addressed:**
- Schema generation complexity → **Mitigated with 563 lines of examples**
- Entity field detection → **Clear 4-pattern strategy**
- Type conversion edge cases → **Comprehensive documentation**

### Agent-Implementable: ✅ YES (90%+ confidence)

**Phase 1 (Rust):** 95% - Clear file locations, specific line numbers
**Phase 2 (Python):** 95% - Well-defined dataclass changes
**Phase 3 (Schema):** 90%+ - Enhanced with comprehensive examples
**Phase 4 (Tests):** 99% - Mechanical test updates
**Phase 5 (Release):** 99% - Command execution

## 📝 Breaking Changes Summary

### For FraiseQL Users

**1. Success Types**
```python
# OLD (v1.7.x)
@fraiseql.success
class CreateMachineSuccess:
    machine: Machine | None = None  # ❌ Nullable

# NEW (v1.8.0)
@fraiseql.success
class CreateMachineSuccess:
    machine: Machine  # ✅ Non-nullable
```

**2. Error Types**
```python
# OLD (v1.7.x)
@fraiseql.failure
class CreateMachineError:
    message: str
    errors: list[Error] | None = None

# NEW (v1.8.0)
@fraiseql.failure
class CreateMachineError:
    code: int          # ✅ NEW
    status: str        # ✅ NEW
    message: str
    cascade: Cascade | None = None
```

**3. GraphQL Queries**
```graphql
# OLD (v1.7.x)
mutation {
  createMachine(input: $input) {
    machine { id }
    message
  }
}

# NEW (v1.8.0)
mutation {
  createMachine(input: $input) {
    __typename
    ... on CreateMachineSuccess {
      machine { id }
      cascade { status }
    }
    ... on CreateMachineError {
      code
      status
      message
      cascade { status reason }
    }
  }
}
```

**4. Test Assertions**
```python
# OLD (v1.7.x)
assert result["__typename"] == "CreateMachineSuccess"
assert result["machine"] is None  # ❌

# NEW (v1.8.0)
assert result["__typename"] == "CreateMachineError"
assert result["code"] == 422  # ✅
assert result["status"] == "noop:invalid_contract_id"
```
