# Phase 4 Plan 3: Download and Retry Commands Summary

**Execution download command saves full data to JSON for forensic analysis, retry command enables error recovery with workflow reloading**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 20 min
- **Started:** 2026-01-05T07:01:36Z
- **Completed:** 2026-01-05T07:21:41Z
- **Tasks:** 2
- **Files modified:** 2

## Accomplishments

- Execution download command for forensic analysis (highest priority per CONTEXT.md)
- Execution retry command for error recovery
- Complete execution command suite (list, view, download, retry)
- Comprehensive TDD test coverage with 13 new tests (100% coverage for new commands)
- All commands follow Phase 3 patterns with consistent UX and error handling

## Files Created/Modified

- `src/n8n_cli/commands/execution.py` - Added download and retry commands with proper error handling
- `tests/commands/test_execution.py` - Added TestExecutionDownload (7 tests) and TestExecutionRetry (6 tests) with full coverage

## Decisions Made

- Use `model_dump(mode='json', by_alias=True)` to preserve API camelCase format in downloaded JSON files (maintains compatibility with n8n API format)
- Retry command uses `--no-load-workflow` flag (default: load_workflow=True) for consistency with n8n API behavior
- Download command defaults to `{execution_id}.json` filename for predictable file naming

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered

None - all tasks completed without blockers.

## Next Phase Readiness

**Phase 4 (Execution Management) complete.** Ready for Phase 5 (Project & User Management).

**Execution commands implemented:**
- ✅ list (with workflow/status filtering, color-coded output)
- ✅ view (with --data flag and error details display)
- ✅ download (highest priority - forensic analysis with JSON formatting)
- ✅ retry (error recovery with optional workflow reloading)

All commands follow Phase 3 patterns:
- Consistent error handling with clean user-facing messages
- Config validation with clear setup instructions
- Color-coded status output (GREEN/RED/YELLOW)
- Comprehensive test coverage (26 total execution command tests)
- Type-safe with mypy validation
- Code quality verified with ruff
