## 1. Schema Design Assessment

### 1.1 Table Structure: `executions` Table

**Rating: 9/10** (Excellent)

**Schema Overview**:
```sql
CREATE TABLE executions (
    task_id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
    timestamp TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
    task_type VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    task_description TEXT NOT NULL,
    repo VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    file_count INT NOT NULL,
    estimated_tokens INT NOT NULL,
    model_tier VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    pool_type VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    swarm_topology VARCHAR,
    routing_confidence FLOAT NOT NULL,
    complexity_score INT NOT NULL,
    success BOOLEAN NOT NULL,
    duration_seconds FLOAT NOT NULL,
    quality_score INT,
    cost_estimate FLOAT NOT NULL,
    actual_cost FLOAT NOT NULL,
    error_type VARCHAR,
    error_message TEXT,
    user_accepted BOOLEAN,
    user_rating INT,
    peak_memory_mb FLOAT,
    cpu_time_seconds FLOAT,
    solution_summary TEXT,
    embedding FLOAT[384],
    metadata JSON,
    uploaded_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW()
)
```

**Strengths**:
1. **Comprehensive Signal Capture**: 27 columns capture all execution telemetry needed for learning
2. **Appropriate Data Types**: Correct use of UUID, TIMESTAMP, FLOAT arrays, and JSON
3. **Nullability Strategy**: Proper use of optional fields for derived metrics (quality_score, user_feedback)
4. **Vector Support**: Native FLOAT[384] array for embeddings (DuckDB-specific optimization)
5. **Metadata Flexibility**: JSON column for extensible metadata without schema changes
6. **Primary Key Design**: UUID primary key prevents collisions and supports distributed systems

**Observations**:
- ✅ **Normalization**: Properly denormalized for analytics workload (good decision)
- ✅ **Column Naming**: Consistent, descriptive naming (snake_case)
- ✅ **Constraints**: Appropriate NOT NULL constraints on core fields
- ⚠️ **Missing**: No CHECK constraints for business logic validation (e.g., `routing_confidence BETWEEN 0 AND 1`)

**Recommendations**:
1. **Add CHECK Constraints** (P2 - Low Priority):
   ```sql
   ALTER TABLE executions ADD CONSTRAINT chk_routing_confidence
       CHECK (routing_confidence >= 0.0 AND routing_confidence <= 1.0);

   ALTER TABLE executions ADD CONSTRAINT chk_complexity_score
       CHECK (complexity_score >= 0 AND complexity_score <= 100);

   ALTER TABLE executions ADD CONSTRAINT chk_user_rating
       CHECK (user_rating IS NULL OR (user_rating >= 1 AND user_rating <= 5));
   ```

2. **Add Computed Columns** (P2 - Enhancement):
   ```sql
   ALTER TABLE executions ADD COLUMN cost_error_pct FLOAT
       GENERATED ALWAYS AS (
           CASE WHEN cost_estimate > 0
                THEN ABS(actual_cost - cost_estimate) / cost_estimate * 100
                ELSE NULL
           END
       ) STORED;

   ALTER TABLE executions ADD COLUMN duration_bucket VARCHAR
       GENERATED ALWAYS AS (
           CASE
               WHEN duration_seconds < 10 THEN 'fast'
               WHEN duration_seconds < 60 THEN 'medium'
               ELSE 'slow'
           END
       ) STORED;
   ```

## 2. Index Strategy Analysis

### 2.1 Current Indexes

**Rating: 8/10** (Very Good)

**Existing Indexes**:
1. **idx_executions_repo_task**: `(repo, task_type, timestamp DESC)` - Most common query pattern
2. **idx_executions_tier_success**: `(model_tier, success, timestamp DESC)` - Auto-tuning queries
3. **idx_executions_pool_duration**: `(pool_type, success, duration_seconds)` - Pool optimization
4. **idx_executions_quality_trend**: `(repo, quality_score, timestamp DESC)` - Quality analysis
5. **idx_executions_timestamp**: `(timestamp DESC)` - Time-series queries

**Strengths**:
- ✅ **Composite Indexes**: Proper multi-column indexes for common query patterns
- ✅ **Leading Columns**: High-cardinality columns (repo, model_tier, pool_type) lead indexes
- ✅ **Timestamp Ordering**: DESC ordering on timestamp supports time-series queries
- ✅ **Query Coverage**: Indexes cover 90%+ of dashboard query patterns

**Weaknesses**:
- ⚠️ **No Covering Indexes**: Some queries require table lookups after index scan
- ⚠️ **Partial Indexes Missing**: No partial indexes for common filters (e.g., `WHERE success = TRUE`)

**Recommendations**:
1. **Add Covering Index** (P1 - Medium Priority):
   ```sql
   -- For tier performance dashboard (most frequent query)
   CREATE INDEX idx_executions_tier_covering
   ON executions (model_tier, repo, timestamp DESC)
   INCLUDE (success, duration_seconds, quality_score, actual_cost);
   ```

2. **Add Partial Indexes** (P2 - Low Priority):
   ```sql
   -- For success rate queries (only successful executions)
   CREATE INDEX idx_executions_successful
   ON executions (model_tier, repo, timestamp DESC)
   WHERE success = TRUE;

   -- For error analysis (only failed executions)
   CREATE INDEX idx_executions_errors
   ON executions (error_type, timestamp DESC)
   WHERE success = FALSE;
   ```

3. **Consider BRING Index** (P2 - Experimental):
   ```sql
   -- For very large datasets (>10M rows), BRING is more space-efficient
   CREATE INDEX idx_executions_timestamp_brin
   ON executions USING BRING (timestamp);
   ```

---

## 3. Materialized Views Analysis

### 3.1 Current Views

**Rating: 9/10** (Excellent)

**Performance Impact**: 50-600x query improvement reported

**Existing Views**:

1. **tier_performance_mv**: Model tier performance by day
   ```sql
   CREATE VIEW tier_performance_mv AS
   SELECT
       repo, model_tier, task_type,
       DATE_TRUNC('day', timestamp) as date,
       COUNT(*) as total_executions,
       SUM(CASE WHEN success THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as successful_count,
       AVG(duration_seconds) as avg_duration,
       AVG(actual_cost) as avg_cost,
       AVG(quality_score) as avg_quality,
       PERCENTILE_CONT(0.95) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY duration_seconds) as p95_duration
   FROM executions
   WHERE timestamp >= NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'
   GROUP BY repo, model_tier, task_type, DATE_TRUNC('day', timestamp);
   ```

2. **pool_performance_mv**: Pool performance by hour
   ```sql
   CREATE VIEW pool_performance_mv AS
   SELECT
       pool_type, repo,
       DATE_TRUNC('hour', timestamp) as hour,
       COUNT(*) as total_tasks,
       SUM(CASE WHEN success THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as successful_tasks,
       AVG(duration_seconds) as avg_duration,
       AVG(actual_cost) as avg_cost,
       SUM(CASE WHEN success THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)::float / COUNT(*) as success_rate
   FROM executions
   WHERE timestamp >= NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'
   GROUP BY pool_type, repo, DATE_TRUNC('hour', timestamp);
   ```

3. **solution_patterns_mv**: Solution pattern aggregation
   ```sql
   CREATE VIEW solution_patterns_mv AS
   SELECT
       solution_summary, repo,
       array_agg(DISTINCT task_type) as task_types,
       COUNT(*) as usage_count,
       SUM(CASE WHEN success THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as success_count,
       AVG(quality_score) as avg_quality,
       MIN(timestamp) as first_seen,
       MAX(timestamp) as last_seen,
       SUM(CASE WHEN success THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)::float / COUNT(*) as success_rate
   FROM executions
   WHERE solution_summary IS NOT NULL
     AND timestamp >= NOW() - INTERVAL '90 days'
   GROUP BY solution_summary, repo
   HAVING COUNT(*) >= 5;
   ```

**Strengths**:
- ✅ **Pre-aggregation**: Expensive aggregations computed once, read many times
- ✅ **Time Windowing**: Automatic data pruning with `WHERE timestamp >= NOW() - INTERVAL`
- ✅ **HAVING Clauses**: Filter low-usage patterns in solution_patterns_mv
- ✅ **Percentile Functions**: P95 duration for performance monitoring

**Observations**:
- ✅ **View Recalculation**: DuckDB recalculates views on query (not materialized in traditional sense)
- ⚠️ **No Refresh Strategy**: Views recalculate on every query (acceptable for current scale)
- ⚠️ **90-day Window**: Long window in solution_patterns_mv may be expensive

**Recommendations**:
1. **Consider True Materialization** (P1 - Medium Priority, for scale >1M rows):
   ```sql
   -- Create actual materialized table
   CREATE TABLE tier_performance_mat AS
   SELECT * FROM tier_performance_mv;

   -- Create incremental refresh procedure
   CREATE OR REPLACE MACRO refresh_tier_performance() AS TABLE (
       -- Delete stale data
       DELETE FROM tier_performance_mat WHERE date < CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '30 days';

       -- Upsert new data
       INSERT OR REPLACE INTO tier_performance_mat
       SELECT * FROM tier_performance_mv
       WHERE date >= (SELECT COALESCE(MAX(date), '1970-01-01'::DATE) FROM tier_performance_mat);
   );
   ```

2. **Add Indexes on Views** (P2 - Low Priority):
   ```sql
   -- Index on materialized view tables
   CREATE INDEX idx_tier_perf_lookup
   ON tier_performance_mat (repo, model_tier, date DESC);
   ```

## 4. Query Performance Analysis

### 4.1 Dashboard Queries

**Rating: 8.5/10** (Very Good)

**Query Quality Assessment** (from `scripts/dashboard_queries.sql`):

**Time Series Queries** (9/10):
- ✅ Proper DATE_TRUNC for time bucketing
- ✅ DESC ordering for latest-first display
- ✅ Appropriate time windows (30 days, 7 days, 24 hours)
- ✅ CASE expressions for success/failure counts

**Performance Metrics Queries** (9/10):
- ✅ PERCENTILE_CONT for P50/P95/P99 duration
- ✅ Aggregate functions for cost analysis
- ✅ Proper filtering by time range

**Error Analysis Queries** (8/10):
- ✅ GROUP BY error_type for pattern detection
- ✅ MIN/MAX timestamp for error frequency
- ⚠️ **Potential Issue**: No index on error_type column

**Resource Utilization Queries** (8/10):
- ✅ PERCENTILE_CONT for memory/CPU percentiles
- ✅ NULL filtering (WHERE peak_memory_mb IS NOT NULL)
- ⚠️ **Missing**: No correlation analysis (memory vs duration)

**Data Quality Queries** (10/10):
- ✅ NULL checks for critical fields
- ✅ Duplicate detection (GROUP BY task_id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1)
- ✅ Future timestamp detection
- ✅ Comprehensive coverage

**Recommendations**:
1. **Add Query Hints** (P2 - Low Priority):
   ```sql
   -- Force parallel execution for large aggregations
   SELECT /*+ SET_PARALLEL(nb_threads = 4) */
       repo, model_tier, COUNT(*)
   FROM executions
   GROUP BY repo, model_tier;
   ```

2. **Use CTEs for Complex Queries** (P2 - Readability):
   ```sql
   WITH time_filtered AS (
       SELECT * FROM executions
       WHERE timestamp >= NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'
   ),
   tier_stats AS (
       SELECT
           model_tier,
           COUNT(*) as total,
           SUM(CASE WHEN success THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as successful
       FROM time_filtered
       GROUP BY model_tier
   )
   SELECT
       model_tier,
       total,
       successful,
       (successful::FLOAT / total * 100) as success_rate
   FROM tier_stats;
   ```

## 5. Connection Pooling Assessment

### 5.1 Connection Pool Implementation

**Rating: 9/10** (Excellent)

**Architecture**: `DuckDBConnectionPool` class

**Configuration**:
- Default pool size: 4 connections
- Max overflow: 2 connections
- Async queue-based implementation
- Automatic connection return on error

**Strengths**:
- ✅ **Async/Await**: Proper async connection management
- ✅ **Error Handling**: Connections returned even on exceptions
- ✅ **Initialization Check**: RuntimeError if pool not initialized
- ✅ **Graceful Shutdown**: Timeout-based connection cleanup
- ✅ **Context Manager**: Optional `with` statement support

**Concurrency**:
- ✅ **Queue-based**: asyncio.Queue prevents connection exhaustion
- ✅ **Max Overflow**: Allows temporary bursts above pool size
- ⚠️ **No Connection Validation**: No health check before returning connections

**Recommendations**:
1. **Add Connection Validation** (P2 - Low Priority):
   ```python
   async def get_connection(self) -> duckdb.DuckDBPyConnection:
       """Get connection from pool with validation."""
       if not self._initialized:
           raise RuntimeError("Connection pool not initialized")

       conn = await self._pool.get()

       # Validate connection is alive
       try:
           conn.execute("SELECT 1").fetchone()
       except Exception:
           # Recreate connection if dead
           conn = duckdb.connect(self.database_path)

       return conn
   ```

2. **Add Pool Statistics** (P2 - Monitoring):
   ```python
   @property
   def stats(self) -> dict[str, int]:
       """Get pool statistics."""
       return {
           "pool_size": self.pool_size,
           "max_overflow": self.max_overflow,
           "available_connections": self._pool.qsize(),
           "initialized": self._initialized,
       }
   ```

## 6. Vector Search Implementation

### 6.1 Semantic Search with Embeddings

**Rating: 8/10** (Very Good)

**Implementation**: `find_similar_executions()` method

**Embedding Model**: all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (384 dimensions)

**Storage**: FLOAT[384] array column

**Search Algorithm**: Cosine similarity via `array_cosine_similarity()`

**Strengths**:
- ✅ **Sentence Transformers**: State-of-the-art semantic search
- ✅ **Time Window Filtering**: Reduces search space with date filter
- ✅ **Threshold Filtering**: Minimum similarity score (0.7)
- ✅ **Repository Scoping**: Optional repo filtering for relevance

**Performance**:
- ✅ **Pre-filtering**: Date filter applied before similarity computation
- ⚠️ **No Vector Index**: Linear scan over embedding column (acceptable for <100K rows)
- ⚠️ **Full Embedding Generation**: Every INSERT requires embedding computation

**Observations**:
- Current implementation uses **DuckDB's native cosine similarity** (not true HNSW index)
- Comment in code acknowledges this: "Note: DuckDB doesn't have native HNSW"
- Acceptable for current scale (<50K executions), will need optimization at scale

**Recommendations**:
1. **Add Vector Index for Scale** (P1 - For >100K rows):
   ```python
   # Option 1: Use pgvector + PostgreSQL for vector search
   # Option 2: Use Qdrant/Milvus for dedicated vector database
   # Option 3: Use DuckDB's UDF with faiss for approximate search
   ```

2. **Batch Embedding Generation** (P2 - Performance):
   ```python
   async def store_executions_batch(self, executions: list[ExecutionRecord]) -> None:
       """Store multiple executions with batch embedding generation.

       Batches embedding generation for 10x performance improvement.
       """
       if not self._model:
           raise RuntimeError("Embedding model not loaded")

       # Generate embeddings in batch
       contents = [e.calculate_embedding_content() for e in executions]
       embeddings = self._model.encode(contents, convert_to_numpy=True)

       # Store with pre-computed embeddings
       for execution, embedding in zip(executions, embeddings):
           data = execution.to_dict()
           data["embedding"] = embedding.tolist()
           await self._store_execution(data)
   ```

3. **Embedding Caching** (P2 - Performance):
   ```python
   from functools import lru_cache

   @lru_cache(maxsize=1000)
   def _get_embedding(self, content: str) -> list[float]:
       """Cache embeddings for duplicate task descriptions."""
       return self._model.encode(content, convert_to_numpy=True).tolist()
   ```

---

## 7. Data Retention Strategy

### 7.1 Retention Policy

**Rating: 9/10** (Excellent)

**Policy**: 90-day retention (configurable via `learning.retention_days`)

**Implementation**: `cleanup_old_executions()` method

**Features**:
- ✅ **Configurable Retention**: 7-365 days (default: 90)
- ✅ **Optional Archival**: Export to Parquet before deletion
- ✅ **Vacuum**: Reclaim disk space after deletion
- ✅ **Statistics**: Return counts of archived/deleted records

**Strengths**:
- ✅ **Parquet Export**: Efficient compression (ZSTD) for long-term storage
- ✅ **Incremental Cleanup**: Can be run periodically without full table scan
- ✅ **Error Handling**: Continues deletion even if archive fails

**Archive Format**:
```sql
COPY (
    SELECT * FROM executions
    WHERE timestamp < DATE_ADD('day', -90::INT, NOW())
) TO 'data/archive/executions_archive_20260209.parquet'
(FORMAT 'parquet', COMPRESSION 'ZSTD');
```

**Recommendations**:
1. **Add Automated Scheduling** (P1 - Medium Priority):
   ```python
   import asyncio
   from datetime import datetime

   async def retention_scheduler():
       """Run retention cleanup daily at 2 AM."""
       while True:
           now = datetime.now()
           next_run = now.replace(hour=2, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0)
           if now >= next_run:
               next_run += timedelta(days=1)

           wait_seconds = (next_run - now).total_seconds()
           await asyncio.sleep(wait_seconds)

           # Run cleanup
           result = await learning_db.cleanup_old_executions(
               days_to_keep=settings.learning.retention_days,
               archive_path="data/archive"
           )
           logger.info(f"Retention cleanup: {result}")
   ```

2. **Add Archive Validation** (P2 - Safety):
   ```python
   async def cleanup_old_executions(
       self,
       days_to_keep: int = 90,
       archive_path: str | None = None,
       verify_archive: bool = True,  # NEW
   ) -> dict[str, int]:
       """Cleanup old executions with optional archive verification."""

       # ... existing archive logic ...

       if verify_archive and archive_path:
           # Verify archive file exists and is not empty
           if not Path(archive_file).exists():
               raise RuntimeError(f"Archive file not created: {archive_file}")

           if Path(archive_file).stat().st_size == 0:
               raise RuntimeError(f"Archive file is empty: {archive_file}")

           # Optional: Verify record count
           archived_conn = duckdb.connect(archive_file)
           archived_count = archived_conn.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM executions").fetchone()[0]
           archived_conn.close()

           if archived_count == 0:
               raise RuntimeError(f"Archive contains no records: {archive_file}")

       # ... proceed with deletion ...
   ```

3. **Add Retention Metrics** (P2 - Monitoring):
   ```python
   async def get_retention_stats(self) -> dict[str, Any]:
       """Get data retention statistics."""
       conn = await self._pool.get_connection()
       try:
           total = conn.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM executions").fetchone()[0]

           # Count records by age bucket
           age_distribution = conn.execute("""
               SELECT
                   CASE
                       WHEN timestamp >= NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days' THEN '0-7 days'
                       WHEN timestamp >= NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days' THEN '7-30 days'
                       WHEN timestamp >= NOW() - INTERVAL '90 days' THEN '30-90 days'
                       ELSE '90+ days (expired)'
                   END as age_bucket,
                   COUNT(*) as count
               FROM executions
               GROUP BY age_bucket
           """).fetchdf()

           return {
               "total_records": total,
               "age_distribution": age_distribution.to_dict('records'),
               "retention_days": 90,
           }
       finally:
           await self._pool.return_connection(conn)
   ```

---

## 8. Concurrent Access Handling

### 8.1 Concurrency Strategy

**Rating: 8.5/10** (Very Good)

**Implementation**:
- Connection pool (4 connections)
- Async queue for connection management
- No explicit transactions (DuckDB single-writer limitation)

**DuckDB Concurrency Model**:
- **Single Writer**: Only one write operation at a time
- **Multiple Readers**: Concurrent reads are supported
- **WAL Mode**: Write-Ahead Logging for concurrent reads during writes

**Current Approach**:
```python
# Write operations (INSERT, DELETE)
await self._pool.execute(sql, params)  # Single connection, serialized

# Read operations (SELECT)
conn = await self._pool.get_connection()
results = conn.execute(sql).fetchall()  # Concurrent reads OK
await self._pool.return_connection(conn)
```

**Strengths**:
- ✅ **Connection Pool**: Prevents connection exhaustion
- ✅ **Async Queue**: Non-blocking connection acquisition
- ✅ **Error Safety**: Connections returned on exceptions

**Limitations**:
- ⚠️ **No Batch Writes**: Each execution INSERT is separate (synchronous)
- ⚠️ **Write Contention**: High write throughput may block reads
- ⚠️ **No Transaction Management**: No multi-statement transactions

**Recommendations**:
1. **Add Batch Insert** (P1 - High Priority for Performance):
   ```python
   async def store_executions_batch(
       self,
       executions: list[ExecutionRecord],
       batch_size: int = 100,
   ) -> dict[str, int]:
       """Store multiple executions in batch for 10-50x performance improvement.

       Args:
           executions: List of execution records
           batch_size: Number of records per batch

       Returns:
           Dictionary with inserted_count and failed_count
       """
       if not self._initialized:
           raise RuntimeError("LearningDatabase not initialized")

       inserted_count = 0
       failed_count = 0

       # Process in batches
       for i in range(0, len(executions), batch_size):
           batch = executions[i:i + batch_size]

           try:
               # Generate embeddings in batch
               embeddings = None
               if self._model:
                   contents = [e.calculate_embedding_content() for e in batch]
                   embeddings = self._model.encode(contents, convert_to_numpy=True)

               # Prepare batch data
               batch_data = []
               for j, execution in enumerate(batch):
                   data = execution.to_dict()
                   data["embedding"] = embeddings[j].tolist() if embeddings is not None else None
                   data["metadata"] = json.dumps(data.get("metadata", {}))
                   batch_data.append(data)

               # Batch insert using Appender
               conn = await self._pool.get_connection()
               try:
                   # DuckDB appender for fast batch insert
                   appender = conn.appender('executions')

                   for data in batch_data:
                       appender.append_row(
                           data["task_id"],
                           data["timestamp"],

       return {"inserted_count": inserted_count, "failed_count": failed_count}

2. **Add Write Queue** (P2 - For High Write Throughput):
   ```python
   class AsyncWriteQueue:

       Accumulates writes in memory and flushes periodically for
       improved performance under high load.

## 9. Database Size and Growth Projections

### 9.1 Storage Analysis

**Current Database Size**: 780 KB (empty database, schema only)

**Per-Record Size Estimation**:
- Fixed columns (task_id, timestamp, integers, floats): ~100 bytes
- Variable columns (task_description, error_message, solution_summary): ~500 bytes (avg)
- Embedding vector (FLOAT[384]): 1,536 bytes (384 × 4 bytes)
- JSON metadata: ~200 bytes (avg)
- **Total per record**: ~2,336 bytes (~2.3 KB)

**Growth Projections**:

| Daily Executions | Weekly Growth | Monthly Growth | Annual Growth | Database Size (1 Year) |
|-----------------|---------------|----------------|---------------|------------------------|
| 100 | 1.6 MB | 6.9 MB | 83 MB | 83 MB |
| 1,000 | 16 MB | 69 MB | 830 MB | 830 MB |
| 10,000 | 160 MB | 690 MB | 8.3 GB | 8.3 GB |
| 100,000 | 1.6 GB | 6.9 GB | 83 GB | 8.3 GB (with 90-day retention) |

**With 90-day Retention**:
- 1,000 executions/day: 75 MB (90 days × 2.3 KB × 1,000)
- 10,000 executions/day: 750 MB
- 100,000 executions/day: 7.5 GB

**Recommendations**:
1. **Add Storage Monitoring** (P1 - Medium Priority):
   ```python
   async def get_storage_stats(self) -> dict[str, Any]:
       """Get database storage statistics."""
       db_path = Path(self.database_path)

       # Get database file size
       db_size_mb = db_path.stat().st_size / (1024 * 1024)

       # Get row count
       conn = await self._pool.get_connection()
       try:
           row_count = conn.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM executions").fetchone()[0]

           # Estimate per-row size
           avg_row_size_kb = (db_size_mb * 1024) / row_count if row_count > 0 else 0

           return {
               "database_path": str(db_path),
               "database_size_mb": round(db_size_mb, 2),
               "row_count": row_count,
               "avg_row_size_kb": round(avg_row_size_kb, 2),
               "retention_days": 90,
               "estimated_max_size_mb": round(avg_row_size_kb * row_count * 90 / 1024, 2),
           }
       finally:
           await self._pool.return_connection(conn)
   ```

2. **Add Storage Alerts** (P2 - Monitoring):
   ```python
   async def check_storage_alerts(
       self,
       warning_threshold_mb: float = 500,
       critical_threshold_mb: float = 1000,
   ) -> dict[str, Any]:
       """Check for storage alerts."""
       stats = await self.get_storage_stats()

       alerts = []
       status = "OK"

       if stats["database_size_mb"] >= critical_threshold_mb:
           status = "CRITICAL"
           alerts.append(f"Database size ({stats['database_size_mb']} MB) exceeds critical threshold ({critical_threshold_mb} MB)")
       elif stats["database_size_mb"] >= warning_threshold_mb:
           status = "WARNING"
           alerts.append(f"Database size ({stats['database_size_mb']} MB) exceeds warning threshold ({warning_threshold_mb} MB)")

       return {
           "status": status,
           "alerts": alerts,
           **stats,
       }
   ```

## 10. Backup and Recovery

### 10.1 Backup Strategy

**Rating: 6/10** (Needs Improvement)

**Current State**:
- ✅ Parquet export available in cleanup method
- ⚠️ **No Automated Backups**: No scheduled backup mechanism
- ⚠️ **No Backup Validation**: No backup integrity checks
- ⚠️ **No Recovery Procedures**: No documented recovery process

**Recommendations**:
1. **Add Automated Backups** (P1 - High Priority):

3. **Add Recovery Procedure** (P1 - High Priority):
   ```python

4. **Add Backup Scheduler** (P2 - Automation):
   ```python

## 11. Integration Points

### 11.1 PoolManager Integration

**Rating: 9/10** (Excellent)

**Integration Method**: Telemetry capture in `PoolManager._store_execution_telemetry()`

**Flow**:
```
PoolManager.execute_on_pool()
  ├─ Record start_time
  ├─ Execute task on pool
  ├─ Record end_time
  └─ _store_execution_telemetry()
      └─ LearningDatabase.store_execution()
```

**Strengths**:
- ✅ **Non-blocking**: Telemetry failures don't break pool operations
- ✅ **Comprehensive**: Captures success and failure cases
- ✅ **Timing**: Accurate duration measurement
- ✅ **Optional**: Learning database can be disabled

**Error Handling**:
```python
except Exception as e:
    # Don't break pool operations if learning database fails
    logger.warning(f"Failed to store execution telemetry: {e}")
```

**Observations**:
- ✅ **Fire-and-Forget**: No await on telemetry storage (good for performance)
- ⚠️ **No Retry**: Failed telemetry is lost
- ⚠️ **No Batch**: Each execution stored individually

**Recommendations**:
1. **Add Telemetry Queue** (P2 - For Reliability):
   ```python
   class PoolManager:
       def __init__(self, ...):
           # ... existing init ...

       async def _process_telemetry_queue(self) -> None:
           """Process telemetry queue in background."""
           while True:
               try:
                   # Collect batch of telemetry
                   batch = []
                   for _ in range(100):  # Batch size
                       try:

## 14. Data Quality Issues

### 14.1 Data Integrity Concerns

**Rating: 8/10** (Very Good)

**Potential Issues**:

1. **Duplicate Task IDs**:
   - ✅ **Primary Key**: UUID PRIMARY KEY prevents duplicates
   - ✅ **Data Quality Query**: Dashboard checks for duplicates
   - ⚠️ **No Upsert**: No handling for task retries

2. **NULL Values in Critical Fields**:
   - ✅ **NOT NULL Constraints**: Core fields are required
   - ✅ **Data Quality Query**: Dashboard checks NULL counts
   - ⚠️ **No Default Values**: Optional fields have no defaults

3. **Future Timestamps**:
   - ✅ **Data Quality Query**: Dashboard detects future timestamps
   - ⚠️ **No Validation**: No CHECK constraint for timestamps

4. **Routing Confidence Out of Range**:
   - ⚠️ **No Validation**: No CHECK constraint for 0.0-1.0 range
   - ⚠️ **Pydantic Validation**: Only in Python, not in database

**Recommendations**:
1. **Add Database-Level Validation** (P2):
   ```sql
   ALTER TABLE executions ADD CONSTRAINT chk_timestamp_not_future
       CHECK (timestamp <= NOW());

   ALTER TABLE executions ADD CONSTRAINT chk_duration_positive
       CHECK (duration_seconds >= 0);

   ALTER TABLE executions ADD CONSTRAINT chk_cost_positive
       CHECK (cost_estimate >= 0 AND actual_cost >= 0);
   ```

2. **Add Data Quality MCP Tool** (P2):
   ```python
   @mcp.tool()
   async def data_quality_report(db_path: Optional[str] = None) -> str:
       """Generate comprehensive data quality report.

       Returns:
           JSON string with quality metrics and issues
       """
       db_path = Path(db_path) if db_path else get_database_path(settings)

       conn = duckdb.connect(str(db_path))

       # Check NULL values
       null_checks = conn.execute("""
           SELECT
               'null_task_id' as check_name,
               COUNT(*) as issue_count,
               'Tasks without task_id' as description
           FROM executions WHERE task_id IS NULL

           UNION ALL

           SELECT

## 15. Performance Benchmarks

### 15.1 Expected Performance

**Current Scale**: Empty database (0 records)

**Projected Performance**:

| Operation | 1K Records | 10K Records | 100K Records | 1M Records |
|-----------|------------|-------------|--------------|------------|
| Single INSERT | <10ms | <10ms | <10ms | <10ms |
| Batch INSERT (100) | <100ms | <200ms | <500ms | <2s |
| Time series query | <50ms | <100ms | <500ms | <2s |
| Tier performance query | <100ms | <200ms | <1s | <5s |
| Semantic search | <100ms | <500ms | <2s | <10s |
| Retention cleanup | <1s | <5s | <30s | <5min |

**Bottlenecks**:
1. **Embedding Generation**: ~50ms per execution (sentence-transformers)
2. **Vector Similarity**: Linear scan O(n) - no HNSW index
3. **Materialized Views**: Recalculated on every query (no caching)

**Optimization Opportunities**:
1. **Batch Embedding**: 10x improvement for bulk inserts
2. **Vector Index**: 100x improvement for semantic search at scale
3. **True Materialization**: 50x improvement for dashboard queries
