## 🗂️ Code Organization

### Modified Files (3):

#### 1. `nxcypher/temporal.py` (+1,000 lines)
**Location of all temporal types and functions**

**Classes**:
- `CypherDate` - Date with properties (year, month, day, week, weekYear, quarter, etc.)
- `CypherLocalTime` - Time without timezone
- `CypherTime` - Time with timezone
- `CypherLocalDateTime` - DateTime without timezone
- `CypherDateTime` - DateTime with timezone
- `CypherDuration` - ISO 8601 duration

**Key Implementation Details**:
- **Nanosecond Storage**: All time-based types have `_nanosecond: int` field (0-999999999)
  - Python's `datetime` only supports microseconds, so we store the extra 3 digits separately
  - The `nanosecond` property returns the full value, while `_nanosecond` is the internal field

- **Duration Nanoseconds**: `CypherDuration._nanoseconds` is internal field, `nanoseconds` property returns total (seconds × 1B + fractional)

**Constructor Functions** (lines 720-1170):
- `cypher_date(arg)` - Handles None, str, dict, CypherDate, CypherDateTime, CypherLocalDateTime
- `cypher_time(arg)` - Handles temporal object inputs
- `cypher_localtime(arg)` - Similar pattern
- `cypher_datetime(arg)` - Most complex, handles base dates/datetimes
- `cypher_localdatetime(arg)` - Similar to datetime
- `cypher_duration(arg)` - Parses ISO 8601 durations

**Truncation Functions** (lines 1360-1660):
- `cypher_date_truncate(unit, value, map_override)`
- `cypher_localtime_truncate(unit, value, map_override)`
- `cypher_time_truncate(unit, value, map_override)`
- `cypher_localdatetime_truncate(unit, value, map_override)`
- `cypher_datetime_truncate(unit, value, map_override)`

**Supported units**: millennium, century, decade, year, weekYear, quarter, month, week, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond, microsecond

**Current Time Functions** (lines 1670-1730):
- `cypher_date_statement/transaction/realtime()`
- Similar for time, localtime, datetime, localdatetime

#### 2. `nxcypher/__init__.py` (+280 lines)
**Main query executor and validation framework**

**New Error Classes** (lines 143-229):
```python
class UndefinedVariable(CypherValidationError)
class ColumnNameConflict(CypherValidationError)
class InvalidDelete(CypherValidationError)
class DeleteConnectedNode(CypherValidationError)
class InvalidParameterUse(CypherValidationError)

class NumberOutOfRange(CypherValidationError)
class NegativeIntegerArgument(CypherValidationError)
class InvalidArgumentPassingMode(CypherValidationError)
class ProcedureNotFound(CypherValidationError)
class InvalidPropertyType(CypherValidationError)
```

**VariableScope Class** (lines 2067-2117):
```python
@dataclass
class VariableScope:
    """Tracks variable definitions and types through query execution."""
    variables: Dict[str, str] = field(default_factory=dict)
    parent: Optional['VariableScope'] = None

    def declare(self, name: str, var_type: str, strict: bool = True)
    def lookup(self, name: str, strict: bool = True) -> Optional[str]
    def has(self, name: str) -> bool
    def create_child(self) -> 'VariableScope'
```

**NXCypherExecutor** (line 2120+):
- Added `self._scope = VariableScope()` in `__init__` (line 2124)
- Added `self._strict` flag (line 2123)

**Validation Helpers** (lines 3270-3302):
```python
def _validate_type(self, value, expected_types, operation)
def _validate_integer(self, value, operation, allow_negative=True)
```

**Temporal Comparison Support** (lines 4959-4997):
- Updated `_types_comparable_for_ordering()` to allow temporal comparisons

**Temporal Function Registration** (lines 4656-4693):
- Imports all temporal functions
- Registers truncate functions
- Registers current time functions

#### 3. `nxcypher/interpreter.py` (+24 lines)
**V4 query interpreter with SKIP/LIMIT validation**

**Modified Methods**:
- `_handle_return_body()` (lines 1176-1189): Added SKIP/LIMIT validation
- `_handle_with_body()` (lines 1808-1843): Added SKIP/LIMIT validation

**Pattern**:
```python
skip_val = int(val)
executor._validate_integer(skip_val, "SKIP", allow_negative=False)
executor._skip = skip_val
```

## 🔍 Known Issues & Root Causes

### TEMPORAL (600 failures remaining)

#### 1. **Timezone Parsing Bug** (6 failures) - CRITICAL BUG
**File**: `temporal.py`, line ~790
**Issue**: `+01:00` becomes `+100:00`
**Root Cause**: In `parse_time_string()` or timezone parsing, the colon is being removed incorrectly
**Fix Location**: `cypher_time()` function, timezone parsing section
```python
# Current (BROKEN):
if '+' in s:
    time_part, tz_part = s.split('+')
    tz_parts = tz_part.split(':')
    offset = timedelta(hours=int(tz_parts[0]), minutes=int(tz_parts[1]) if len(tz_parts) > 1 else 0)
```
**Need to debug**: Why hours becomes 100 instead of 1

#### 2. **Week Truncation Off-by-1** (168 failures) - HIGH IMPACT
**File**: `temporal.py`, line ~1420 (`cypher_localdatetime_truncate`)
**Issue**: Week truncation returns Monday-1 day
**Example**: Expected `'1984-10-09'`, Actual `'1984-10-08'`
**Root Cause**: Week truncation finds Monday of week, but might be using wrong week reference
**Fix**: Check week truncation logic - likely ISO week calculation issue

#### 3. **Date Arithmetic Returns None** (21 failures) - MEDIUM
**File**: `__init__.py`, arithmetic operators section
**Issue**: `date + duration` returns `None` instead of new date
**Root Cause**: Arithmetic operators for temporal types not being called correctly
**Fix**: Check `_eval_tree()` handling of `add_sub_expression` with temporal types

#### 4. **Negative Duration Normalization** (82 failures) - MEDIUM
**File**: `temporal.py`, `duration_between()` functions
**Issue**: `PT-22H` vs `P-1DT2H` - different representations of negative durations
**Root Cause**: Duration.between() doesn't normalize negative durations correctly
**Fix**: Implement proper negative duration normalization

#### 5. **Temporal Object Conversion Matrix** (160 failures) - COMPLEX
**File**: `temporal.py`, constructor functions
**Issue**: Many temporal type conversions don't work
**Examples**:
- `datetime({date: x, time: y})` - combining date and time objects
- `time({datetime: x})` - extracting time from datetime
- Various override combinations
**Fix**: Need comprehensive conversion matrix in each constructor

#### 6. **Column Name Spacing** (18 failures) - FORMATTING
**File**: `__init__.py`, `_tree_to_expression_text()` line 709
**Issue**: `x>=d` vs `x >= d` (missing spaces around `>=`, `<=`, `=`)
**Root Cause**: v4 grammar `comparison_signs` node not adding spaces
**Fix**: Update `_tree_to_expression_text()` to handle v4 comparison nodes

#### 7. **List of Temporals Not Evaluated** (33 failures)
**File**: Expression evaluation in list contexts
**Issue**: Returning `Tree` objects instead of evaluated CypherDate objects
**Root Cause**: Function calls inside lists not being evaluated
**Fix**: Check list comprehension / list literal evaluation

## 🚀 Step-by-Step Instructions to Continue

### Quick Wins (4-6 hours → +200 scenarios → 64%)

#### Quick Win 1: Fix Timezone Parsing (30 min, +6 scenarios)

**Location**: `nxcypher/temporal.py:790-810` in `cypher_time()`

**Debug Steps**:
1. Add print statement to see what `tz_part` contains
2. Check if issue is in `parse_time_string()` or `cypher_time()`
3. Likely issue: String manipulation corrupting timezone format

**Test**:
```bash
poetry run behave features/expressions/temporal/Temporal2.feature --no-capture
```

**Expected Result**: 17/53 → 23/53 passing

---

#### Quick Win 2: Fix Week Truncation (2 hours, +168 scenarios)

**Location**: `nxcypher/temporal.py:1510-1520` in `cypher_localdatetime_truncate()`

**Current Code**:
```python
elif unit == 'week':
    d = date(year, month, day)
    days_since_monday = d.isoweekday() - 1
    d = d - timedelta(days=days_since_monday)
    year, month, day = d.year, d.month, d.day
    hour, minute, second, microsecond = 0, 0, 0, 0
```

**Issue**: Consistently returns 1 day before expected Monday

**Debug Steps**:
1. Test case: `date.truncate('week', date({year: 1984, month: 10, day: 11}))`
   - Oct 11, 1984 is Thursday (day 4)
   - Should truncate to Monday Oct 8, 1984
   - Currently returns Oct 7, 1984 (Sunday)

2. Problem: `d.isoweekday()` returns 1-7 (Monday-Sunday)
   - `days_since_monday = 4 - 1 = 3`
   - Subtracting 3 days from Thursday gives Monday ✓
   - **But result is Sunday!**

3. **Hypothesis**: The issue might be in how we're extracting year/month/day or there's a timezone issue

**Fix**: Add debug logging, check if date extraction is correct

**Test**:
```bash
poetry run behave features/expressions/temporal/Temporal9.feature --no-capture | grep "1984-10-0"
```

**Expected Result**: 154/322 → 322/322 passing (if only week issue)

---

#### Quick Win 3: Fix Column Name Spacing (30 min, +18 scenarios)

**Location**: `nxcypher/__init__.py:709` in `_tree_to_expression_text()`

**Current Code**:
```python
SPACED_OPS = {"PLUS", "SUB", "MULT", "DIV", "MOD", "EQ", "NEQ", "LT", "GT", "LTE", "GTE", ...}
```

**Issue**: v4 grammar uses `comparison_signs` tree node instead of direct tokens

**Fix**:
```python
if isinstance(node, Tree):
    # Handle comparison_signs specially
    if node.data == "comparison_signs":
        # Get the operator token and ensure spacing
        if node.children and isinstance(node.children[0], Token):
            op = node.children[0]
            return f" {op} "  # Add spaces around operator
    # ... rest of code
```

**Test**:
```bash
poetry run behave features/expressions/temporal/Temporal7.feature --no-capture
```

**Expected Result**: 0/18 → 18/18 passing

---

#### Quick Win 4: Fix Date Arithmetic (1 hour, +21 scenarios)

**Location**: `nxcypher/__init__.py:3802+` in `add_sub_expression` handling

**Issue**: `date + duration` returns `None`

**Debug Steps**:
1. Check if temporal types have `__add__` and `__sub__` defined ✓ (they do in temporal.py)
2. Test manually:
   ```python
   from nxcypher.temporal import cypher_date, cypher_duration
   d = cypher_date({'year': 1984, 'month': 10, 'day': 11})
   dur = cypher_duration({'years': 12, 'months': 6})
   result = d + dur  # Should work
   ```
3. If manual works, issue is in expression evaluator
4. Check `add_sub_expression` evaluation - might need to handle CypherDuration type

**Fix**: Ensure arithmetic operators properly handle temporal types in expression context

**Test**:
```bash
poetry run behave features/expressions/temporal/Temporal8.feature --no-capture
```

**Expected Result**: 3/27 → 24/27 passing

---

### Medium Effort Wins (6-10 hours → +260 scenarios → 71%)

#### Fix 5: Duration.between Normalization (4 hours, +82 scenarios)

**Location**: `nxcypher/temporal.py:1220-1250` - `duration_between()` functions

**Issue**: Negative durations not normalized correctly
- Expected: `PT-22H` (negative 22 hours)
- Actual: `P-1DT2H` (negative 1 day + 2 hours)

**Root Cause**: When subtracting times and result is negative, days/hours/seconds aren't normalized to proper representation

**Fix Algorithm**:
```python
def duration_between(start, end):
    delta = end - start

    # If negative, normalize properly
    if delta < 0:
        # Calculate total seconds
        total_seconds = -delta.total_seconds()
        # Don't split into days/hours, keep as pure seconds
        return CypherDuration(seconds=-total_seconds)
    else:
        return CypherDuration(days=delta.days, seconds=delta.seconds, ...)
```

**Test**:
```bash
poetry run behave features/expressions/temporal/Temporal10.feature --no-capture
```

---

#### Fix 6: Temporal Projection Matrix (8 hours, +160 scenarios)

**Location**: `nxcypher/temporal.py` - all constructor functions

**Issue**: Complex temporal conversions fail

**Missing Conversions**:
```cypher
// Combining components
datetime({date: x, time: y})          // Combine CypherDate + CypherTime
datetime({date: x, time: y, timezone: 'Z'})

// Overriding with preservation
date({date: x, month: 5})            // Works ✓ (implemented)
datetime({datetime: x, hour: 12})    // Needs: preserve all other components

// Cross-type with overrides
datetime({localdatetime: x, timezone: '+01:00'})  // Add timezone
localdatetime({datetime: x})         // Drop timezone
```

**Implementation Pattern**:
Each constructor needs to check for ALL possible base types:
- date: CypherDate, CypherDateTime, CypherLocalDateTime
- time: CypherTime, CypherLocalTime, CypherDateTime, CypherLocalDateTime
- datetime: CypherDateTime, CypherLocalDateTime, CypherDate
- etc.

**Current Status**: ✅ Single object conversion working, ❌ Component combination missing

   ```

2. **Implement Fix**:
   - Modify `temporal.py` for temporal functions
   - Modify `__init__.py` for validation/execution logic
   - Modify `interpreter.py` for query parsing/handling

3. **Test Fix**:
   ```bash
   # Test specific feature
   poetry run behave features/expressions/temporal/Temporal9.feature --no-capture | tail -5

   # Run full temporal to check for regressions
   poetry run behave features/expressions/temporal/ --no-capture 2>&1 | tail -5
   ```

   ```bash
   git add -A
   git commit -m "fix: [description of fix]

   [Details]

   Impact: +X scenarios in TemporalY"
   git push
   ```

5. **Full Suite Validation** (every 3-5 commits):
   ```bash
   poetry run behave features/ --no-capture 2>&1 | tail -5
   ```

### Testing Strategy:

- **Unit Test**: Test individual functions in Python REPL
- **Feature Test**: Run specific .feature file
- **Suite Test**: Run full temporal/ or features/
- **Integration Test**: Full TCK suite (every few hours)

### Debugging Tips:

**Check Function Output**:
```python
from nxcypher.temporal import cypher_date, cypher_duration
d = cypher_date({'year': 1984, 'month': 10, 'day': 11})
print(f"Date: {d}, Type: {type(d)}")
print(f"Properties: year={d.year}, month={d.month}, weekYear={d.weekYear}")
```

**Check Query Execution**:
```python
from nxcypher import NXCypher
import networkx as nx

g = nx.Graph()
nxc = NXCypher(g)
result = nxc.run("RETURN date({year: 1984})")
print(f"Result: {result}")
```

**Add Debug Logging**:
```python
# In temporal.py or __init__.py
print(f"DEBUG: value={value}, type={type(value)}")
```

## 📖 Key Concepts

### Nanosecond Precision Implementation

**Challenge**: Python datetime only has microsecond precision (6 digits), Cypher needs nanoseconds (9 digits)

**Solution**:
```python
class CypherLocalTime:
    _time: time  # Stores hour/minute/second/microsecond
    _nanosecond: int  # Stores FULL nanosecond value (0-999999999)

    def __init__(self, t: time, nanosecond: int = 0):
        self._time = t
        self._nanosecond = nanosecond or t.microsecond * 1000
```

**Why**: When constructing from `{nanosecond: 123456789}`:
- Python time can only store up to microseconds: `123456`
- We store full value in `_nanosecond`: `123456789`
- The `nanosecond` property returns `_nanosecond`
- The `__str__` uses `_nanosecond` for display: `12:31:14.123456789`

### Duration Nanoseconds

**Challenge**: CypherDuration has both `seconds: float` and `nanoseconds: int` fields

**Solution**:
```python
class CypherDuration:
    seconds: float  # Whole + fractional seconds
    _nanoseconds: int  # Internal: fractional part only

    @property
    def nanoseconds(self) -> int:
        """Total nanoseconds including seconds converted."""
        return int(self.seconds * 1_000_000_000) + self._nanoseconds
```

**Why**: Tests expect `d.nanoseconds` to return total (e.g., 3661111111111 for 1h 1m 1s + 111111111ns)

### Variable Scope Tracking

**Purpose**: Track which variables are defined and their types

**Usage** (not yet integrated):
```python
# In MATCH handler:
executor._scope.declare('n', 'node')
executor._scope.declare('r', 'relationship')

# In variable lookup:
if not executor._scope.has('n'):
    raise UndefinedVariable(f"Variable `n` not defined")
```

**Next Step**: Integrate into MATCH, CREATE, WITH handlers

---

## 📝 Common Patterns

### Adding a New Temporal Function:

1. **Implement in temporal.py**:
```python
def cypher_date_something(arg1, arg2):
    """Docstring."""
    # Implementation
    return CypherDate(...)
```

2. **Import in __init__.py** (line ~4656):
```python
from .temporal import (
    ...existing imports...,
    cypher_date_something
)
```

3. **Register in _call_function** (line ~4690+):
```python
if name == "DATE.SOMETHING" and len(args) >= 1:
    return cypher_date_something(args[0], args[1] if len(args) > 1 else None)
```

4. **Test**:
```python
from nxcypher import NXCypher
result = nxc.run("RETURN date.something(arg1, arg2)")
```

### Adding a Temporal Property:

1. **Add to class in temporal.py**:
```python
class CypherDate:
    @property
    def myProperty(self) -> int:
        return self._date.something()
```

2. **Test** (properties auto-accessible):
```python
d = cypher_date({'year': 1984})
print(d.myProperty)  # Works automatically
```

3. **Query Test**:
```python
nxc.run("RETURN date({year: 1984}).myProperty")
```

### Adding Validation:

1. **Add error class in __init__.py** (after line 229):
```python
class MyValidationError(CypherValidationError):
    """Description."""
    pass
```

2. **Add validation check**:
```python
if self._strict and some_condition:
    raise MyValidationError("Error message")
```

3. **Test**:
```python
try:
    nxc.run("INVALID QUERY")
except MyValidationError as e:
    print(f"Caught: {e}")
```

## ⚠️ Important Notes

### What NOT to Change:

1. **Don't modify test files** - TCK tests are canonical, implementation must match them
2. **Don't change CALL procedure handling** - Intentionally unsupported (52 scenarios excluded from 99% target)
3. **Preserve backward compatibility** - Use `strict` flag for new validations

### Common Pitfalls:

1. **Nanosecond field naming**: Use `_nanoseconds` (internal) vs `nanoseconds` (property)
2. **Base date defaults**: When base date provided, default from it, not from 1/today
3. **ISO week calculations**: weekYear ≠ year for dates in week 1/52/53
4. **Duration negative values**: Normalize to proper representation

### Performance Considerations:

- Full test suite takes ~7-8 minutes
