# Workflow System Enhancements - Summary

## Overview

This document summarizes the comprehensive enhancements made to the ParquetFrame workflow management system, including execution history tracking, DAG visualization, and robust CLI commands.

## 🚀 New Features Added

### 1. Workflow Execution History System (`workflow_history.py`)

**Core Components:**
- **`StepExecution`**: Tracks individual step execution with timing, status, and metrics
- **`WorkflowExecution`**: Manages complete workflow execution lifecycle
- **`WorkflowHistoryManager`**: Handles persistence and querying of execution records

**Key Features:**
- ✅ **Execution Tracking**: Complete lifecycle tracking from start to completion/failure
- ✅ **Step-Level Metrics**: Individual step performance and status monitoring
- ✅ **Memory Monitoring**: Peak memory usage tracking (when psutil available)
- ✅ **JSON Persistence**: Execution records saved as `.hist` files with datetime serialization
- ✅ **Statistics & Analytics**: Aggregate statistics across workflow executions
- ✅ **Cleanup Management**: Automated cleanup of old history files

**Data Captured:**
```python
# Per-step data
- name, type, status (running/completed/failed/skipped)
- start_time, end_time, duration_seconds
- input_datasets, output_datasets
- custom metrics dict

# Per-workflow data
- execution_id (with UUID to prevent collisions)
- workflow_name, workflow_file, variables
- success/failure counts, peak memory usage
- complete step execution history
```

### 2. Workflow DAG Visualization System (`workflow_visualization.py`)

**Visualization Formats:**
- ✅ **Graphviz**: Production-ready SVG/PNG/PDF visualizations
- ✅ **NetworkX + matplotlib**: Interactive graph layouts
- ✅ **Mermaid**: Text-based diagrams for documentation

**Key Features:**
- ✅ **Dependency Analysis**: Automatic DAG creation from workflow definitions
- ✅ **Execution Status Overlay**: Color-coded steps based on execution status
- ✅ **DAG Statistics**: Complexity metrics, cycle detection, longest path analysis
- ✅ **Multiple Layouts**: Hierarchical, spring, shell layouts for optimal visualization
- ✅ **Export Options**: Multiple formats (SVG, PNG, PDF, DOT, Mermaid text)

**Analytics Provided:**
```python
{
    "total_steps": 5,
    "total_dependencies": 4,
    "is_dag": True,
    "longest_path": 3,
    "complexity": 0.8,  # edges/nodes ratio
    "step_types": {"read": 1, "filter": 2, "save": 1},
    "potential_issues": ["Workflow contains cycles"]  # if any
}
```

### 3. Enhanced CLI Commands

#### `pframe workflow-history` Command
```bash
# View recent executions
pframe workflow-history

# Filter by workflow name
pframe workflow-history --workflow-name my_pipeline

# Show detailed execution info
pframe workflow-history --details

# View aggregate statistics
pframe workflow-history --stats

# Filter by status
pframe workflow-history --status failed

# Clean up old files
pframe workflow-history --cleanup 30

# Limit results
pframe workflow-history --limit 20
```

#### Enhanced `pframe workflow` Command
```bash
# Generate visualizations
pframe workflow pipeline.yml --visualize graphviz --viz-output dag.svg
pframe workflow pipeline.yml --visualize mermaid --viz-output dag.md
pframe workflow pipeline.yml --visualize networkx --viz-output dag.png

# Show DAG statistics
pframe workflow pipeline.yml --visualize mermaid  # includes stats
```

## 🏗️ Technical Implementation Details

### Robust Dependency Handling
```python
# Graceful degradation when optional libraries unavailable
try:
    import networkx as nx
    NETWORKX_AVAILABLE = True
except ImportError:
    NETWORKX_AVAILABLE = False

try:
    import graphviz
    GRAPHVIZ_AVAILABLE = True
except ImportError:
    GRAPHVIZ_AVAILABLE = False
```

### Execution ID Uniqueness
```python
# Prevents collisions when multiple executions created rapidly
execution_id = f"{workflow_name}_{int(time.time())}_{uuid.uuid4().hex[:8]}"
```

### DateTime Serialization
```python
# Custom JSON serialization handling for datetime objects
def convert_datetime(obj):
    if isinstance(obj, datetime):
        return obj.isoformat()
    # ... recursive handling for dicts/lists
```

### Mock-Based Testing
```python
# Comprehensive mocking strategy for external dependencies
with patch("parquetframe.workflow_visualization.nx", mock_nx, create=True):
    with patch("parquetframe.workflow_visualization.NETWORKX_AVAILABLE", True):
        # Test visualization functionality without requiring NetworkX
```

## 📝 Usage Examples

### Basic History Tracking
```python
from parquetframe.workflow_history import WorkflowHistoryManager

# Create history manager
history_manager = WorkflowHistoryManager()

# Create execution record
execution = history_manager.create_execution_record(
    workflow_name="data_pipeline",
    workflow_file="pipeline.yml"
)

# Track step execution
step = StepExecution(name="load_data", step_type="read", status="running")
step.complete()  # Automatically sets timing
execution.add_step(step)

# Complete workflow
execution.complete()

# Save to .hist file
hist_file = history_manager.save_execution_record(execution)
```

### Visualization Generation
```python
from parquetframe.workflow_visualization import WorkflowVisualizer

visualizer = WorkflowVisualizer()

# Generate different visualization formats
graphviz_path = visualizer.visualize_with_graphviz(
    workflow, output_path="dag.svg", format="svg"
)

mermaid_code = visualizer.export_to_mermaid(workflow)

# Get DAG analytics
stats = visualizer.get_dag_statistics(workflow)
print(f"Workflow complexity: {stats['complexity']:.2f}")
```

This comprehensive workflow management system transforms ParquetFrame from a simple data processing library into a full-featured workflow orchestration platform with enterprise-grade monitoring, visualization, and analytics capabilities.
