# Story 3.4: Purge Queue Operation

Status: done

## Story

As a DevOps engineer,
I want to purge all messages from a queue without deleting the queue itself,
so that I can clear stuck messages during troubleshooting while preserving queue configuration and consumers.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **Given** a queue "orders" with messages=500 **When** I execute "queues.purge" for queue="orders", vhost="/" **Then** all messages are removed from the queue
2. **And** queue remains with same configuration (durable, arguments, etc.)
3. **And** active consumers remain connected
4. **And** operation returns: status="success", purged_message_count=500
5. **And** purge operation completes in <500ms for up to 10,000 messages
6. **And** purging empty queue succeeds with purged_message_count=0 (not error)
7. **And** non-existent queue returns error: "Queue 'orders' not found"
8. **And** purge is logged in audit trail

## Dev Notes

### Learnings from Previous Story

**From Story 3-3-delete-queue-operation-with-safety-validation (Status: done)**

**New Services/Patterns Created:**
- **DeleteQueueOperation class** at `src/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/operations/topology.py:675-857` - Use as template for PurgeQueueOperation structure
- **Safety validation pattern** (`_check_queue_safety()` helper method) - NOT needed for purge (no safety check required per tech spec)
- **HTTPClientManager integration**: Async HTTP operations with proper error handling (204 No Content for delete, 200 OK with body for purge)
- **Structured logging pattern**: All operations log with correlation_id field per ADR-009 - follow same pattern
- **Performance monitoring**: Timing instrumentation with threshold warnings (100ms for delete, 500ms for purge) - reuse approach
- **Race condition handling**: 404 after successful operation treated appropriately - apply similar logic if needed

**Key Files Modified:**
- `src/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/schemas/topology.py` - Contains DeleteQueueRequest (lines 259-321), CreateQueueRequest - extend with PurgeQueueRequest
- `src/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/operations/topology.py` - Contains DeleteQueueOperation (lines 675-857), CreateQueueOperation, ListQueuesOperation - add PurgeQueueOperation alongside
- `tests/unit/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/schemas/test_topology.py` - Contains DeleteQueueRequest tests (16 tests) - follow same test structure
- `tests/unit/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/operations/test_delete_queue_operation.py` - 24 operation tests - use as template for purge tests

**Architectural Decisions from Story 3.3:**
- Operations placed in `src/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/operations/topology.py` (not separate files)
- Schemas placed in `src/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/schemas/topology.py` (extend existing file)
- Helper methods prefixed with underscore (e.g., `_check_queue_safety`) - only if needed for purge
- MCP tools use existing `call-id` with operation_id from operations registry
- Test structure: `tests/unit/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/` mirrors source structure

**Review Findings (Apply to this story):**
- Enhanced error messages for both CLI and API users: "Use --force flag (CLI) or force=true parameter (API)"
- 40 passing tests achieved in Story 3.3 (16 schema + 24 operation) - target similar coverage
- Integration tests deferred to future sprint (testcontainers setup pending) - same applies here
- Structured logging with 6 event types: start, validation_error, success, etc. - adapt for purge events
- **All review action items from Story 3.3 completed** - No unresolved items carry forward to Story 3.4

**Technical Debt to Address:**
- No technical debt carried forward from Story 3.3
- Story 3.3 achieved 321 total tests passing with 35% coverage for topology operations
- Consider extracting common queue operation logic to base class (future refactoring opportunity)

**Key Differences for Purge Operation:**
- Purge does NOT require safety validation (no force flag needed) - simpler than delete
- Purge returns message count in response body (200 OK with JSON), delete returns 204 No Content
- Purge endpoint is `/contents` suffix, delete is direct queue path
- Purge preserves queue and consumers, delete removes everything
- Performance threshold higher for purge (500ms vs 100ms) due to message processing

### Architecture Patterns

**HTTP Client Layer** (from Story 2.3, Story 3.1, Story 3.2, Story 3.3):
- Use `HTTPClientManager` singleton with connection pooling (5 connections, 30s timeout)
- Async httpx client with automatic retry disabled (fail-fast pattern per FR-004)
- URL encoding required for vhost parameter in paths: "/" → "%2F" using `urllib.parse.quote()`
- Error handling for 200 OK with body (successful purge), 404 Not Found (queue doesn't exist), timeout
- Purge endpoint: DELETE /api/queues/{vhost}/{name}/contents (NOT DELETE /api/queues/{vhost}/{name})
- Response body parsing: `{"message_count": N}` extracted from 200 OK response

[Source: docs-bmad/epics/epic-3-topology-operations.md#Story-3.4-Technical-Notes]

**Pydantic Schema Validation** (from Story 1.4, Story 3.1, Story 3.2, Story 3.3):
- All operation parameters validated via Pydantic models before HTTP execution
- Custom validators using `@field_validator` decorator (Pydantic v2) for complex rules
- Reuse name validator from CreateQueueRequest/DeleteQueueRequest for consistency
- `extra="ignore"` model config for forward compatibility with RabbitMQ API changes
- Field validators raise `ValueError` with descriptive messages
- NO force flag needed for purge operation (simpler schema than delete)
[Source: docs-bmad/sprint-artifacts/tech-spec-epic-3.md#Data-Models-and-Contracts]
[Source: docs-bmad/sprint-artifacts/3-3-delete-queue-operation-with-safety-validation.md#Pydantic-Schema-Validation]

**Operation Executor Pattern** (from Story 1.10, Story 3.1, Story 3.2, Story 3.3):
- Operations inherit from base `Operation` class with `execute()` async method
- Parameter validation occurs in Pydantic model, execution logic in Operation class
- Return typed responses using dict with status, purged_message_count, queue_name, vhost
- All operations accept `correlation_id` parameter for audit trail (ADR-009)
- Operations placed in `src/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/operations/topology.py` alongside other queue operations
[Source: docs-bmad/sprint-artifacts/tech-spec-epic-3.md#Services-and-Modules]
[Source: docs-bmad/sprint-artifacts/3-3-delete-queue-operation-with-safety-validation.md#Operation-Executor-Pattern]

**Purge Operation Specifics** (Epic 3 Tech Spec, Story 3.4 Focus):
- **Purge workflow (NO safety checks required)**:
  1. Validate queue name using Pydantic schema (<5ms)
  2. URL-encode vhost and queue name
  3. Call DELETE /api/queues/{vhost}/{name}/contents directly (no pre-check needed)
  4. Parse 200 OK response body: `{"message_count": N}`
  5. Return {status: "success", purged_message_count: N}
  6. Total operation: <500ms for up to 10,000 messages
- Empty queues (message_count=0) return success with purged_message_count=0 (not error)
- Queue configuration preserved: durable, arguments, auto_delete settings unchanged
- Active consumers remain connected after purge (no consumer disruption)
- Messages permanently deleted - no undo possible
- Use case: troubleshooting stuck messages, clearing test data, incident response
[Source: docs-bmad/sprint-artifacts/tech-spec-epic-3.md#APIs-and-Interfaces]
[Source: docs-bmad/epics/epic-3-topology-operations.md#Story-3.4-Acceptance-Criteria]

**Structured Logging** (ADR-009, from Story 3.1, Story 3.2, Story 3.3):
- All operations log lifecycle events: start, completion, errors
- Include `correlation_id` field in all log statements for request tracing
- Log fields: operation, vhost, queue_name, purged_count, duration_ms, status
- Use structlog for structured JSON logging
- Audit trail requirement (FR-017): destructive operations MUST log with correlation ID
- Event types for purge: queue.purge.start, queue.purge.success, queue.purge.empty, queue.purge.slow, queue.purge.validation_error

### Project Structure Notes

**Project Structure Context (from Story 3.1, Story 3.2, Story 3.3):**

The project follows a layered architecture with clear separation between MCP server layer, RabbitMQ connection layer, and shared utilities. Story 3.4 continues topology operations pattern established in Stories 3.1-3.3, adding purge capability without safety validation middleware (simpler than delete).

**Key Structure Constraints:**
- Operations reside in `src/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/operations/topology.py` alongside ListQueuesOperation, CreateQueueOperation, DeleteQueueOperation
- Schemas use `src/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/schemas/topology.py` - extend existing with PurgeQueueRequest model
- HTTP client operations reuse `src/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/http_client.py` from Story 2.3/2.7 (no changes needed)
- Operation registry managed via operations-3.13.json (OpenAPI-derived) - queues.purge should be present
- Test structure follows pytest conventions: `tests/unit/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/` and `tests/integration/`
- MCP tools access operations via `call-id` tool with operation_id matching registry

**Expected File Structure for Story 3.4:**
```
src/rabbitmq_mcp_connection/
  schemas/
    topology.py          # Add PurgeQueueRequest model (modify - CreateQueueRequest, DeleteQueueRequest, QueueDetails already exist)
    __init__.py          # Export PurgeQueueRequest (modify)
  operations/
    topology.py          # Add PurgeQueueOperation class (modify - ListQueuesOperation, CreateQueueOperation, DeleteQueueOperation already exist)
  http_client.py         # HTTPClientManager (no changes - reuse from Story 2.3/2.7)
tests/
  unit/
    rabbitmq_mcp_connection/
      schemas/
        test_topology.py                # Add PurgeQueueRequest tests (modify - 74 tests already exist)
      operations/
        test_purge_queue_operation.py   # NEW FILE - PurgeQueueOperation tests (create new file)
  integration/
    test_topology_integration.py        # Add queue purge integration tests (modify - deferred)
```

**Alignment Notes:**
- Follow patterns from Story 3.3: same file locations, same testing structure
- Extend existing topology.py files (operations and schemas) - do NOT create new files
- PurgeQueueOperation will be fourth operation class in topology.py (after List, Create, Delete)
- PurgeQueueRequest will be third request model in schemas/topology.py (after CreateQueueRequest, DeleteQueueRequest)
- Test file `test_purge_queue_operation.py` will be NEW (separate from create/delete tests for clarity)
- No new top-level files needed - extend existing modules
- Simpler than delete operation (no safety check helper method needed)

### Testing Standards

**Testing Framework (from test-design-system.md, Story 3.1, Story 3.2, Story 3.3):**
- Use pytest as test runner with pytest-asyncio for async operations
- Follow Arrange-Act-Assert pattern for all test cases
- Use parametrized tests (@pytest.mark.parametrize) for multiple scenarios
- Achieve minimum 80% code coverage per test-design-system.md requirements
- Use testcontainers for integration tests with per-test vhost isolation (prevents state pollution)
- Fixtures for reusable test data and HTTPClientManager mocking
- Story 3.3 achieved 40 passing tests with 35% topology coverage - target similar for purge operation
[Source: docs-bmad/test-design-system.md#Testing-Framework]
[Source: docs-bmad/sprint-artifacts/3-3-delete-queue-operation-with-safety-validation.md#Testing-Strategy]

**Unit Tests:**
- Mock HTTPClientManager.request() to test PurgeQueueOperation with various API responses
- Test PurgeQueueRequest schema validation with valid/invalid data (name, vhost)
- Test response body parsing: extract message_count from {"message_count": N}
- Test error handling: 404 queue not found, timeout, validation errors
- Test correlation_id propagation in logs (test-design-system.md observability requirements)
- Use parametrized tests for different message counts (0, 10, 500, 10000)
- Follow test-design-system.md conventions: pytest fixtures, arrange-act-assert structure
[Source: docs-bmad/test-design-system.md#Unit-Testing-Strategy]
[Source: docs-bmad/sprint-artifacts/3-3-delete-queue-operation-with-safety-validation.md#Unit-Tests]

**Unit Test Scenarios (Target: ~20-24 tests similar to Story 3.3):**
1. **Schema Validation Tests (~8 tests):**
   - Valid queue names (alphanumeric, hyphen, underscore, period)
   - Invalid queue names (empty, too long >255 chars, special chars)
   - Default vhost ("/") and custom vhost handling
   - Field validator error messages

2. **Successful Purge Tests (~5 scenarios):**
   - Empty queue (message_count=0) → Returns purged_message_count=0, success
   - Small queue (message_count=10) → Returns purged_message_count=10, success
   - Medium queue (message_count=500) → Returns purged_message_count=500, success
   - Large queue (message_count=10000) → Returns purged_message_count=10000, success
   - Custom vhost ("/prod") → Purge succeeds with URL-encoded vhost

3. **Error Handling Tests (~4 scenarios):**
   - Queue not found (404) → ValueError with helpful message
   - Invalid queue name → Validation error before HTTP call
   - Timeout during purge → TimeoutException
   - Unexpected status code (500) → ValueError with error details

4. **Response Parsing Tests (~3 scenarios):**
   - Response body with message_count field → Extracted correctly
   - Response body missing message_count → Default to 0 or raise error
   - Response body with unexpected fields → Ignore extra fields (forward compatibility)

5. **Logging Tests (~5 scenarios):**
   - Verify "queue.purge.start" log entry
   - Verify "queue.purge.success" log entry with purged_count
   - Verify "queue.purge.empty" log entry when message_count=0
   - Verify "queue.purge.slow" log when duration > 500ms
   - Verify correlation_id present in all logs

**Integration Tests (testcontainers - deferred):**
- Use RabbitMQ testcontainer from Stories 2.2-2.7 with per-test vhost isolation
- Create test queue, publish messages, purge, verify queue empty but still exists
- Verify queue configuration unchanged after purge (durable, arguments)
- Verify consumers remain connected after purge
- Test performance: verify purge completes <500ms for 10k messages (AC #5)
- Test audit trail: verify correlation IDs in logs for end-to-end tracing
- Achieve minimum 80% code coverage per test-design-system.md requirements
[Source: docs-bmad/test-design-system.md#Integration-Testing-Strategy]
[Source: docs-bmad/sprint-artifacts/3-3-delete-queue-operation-with-safety-validation.md#Integration-Tests]

**Edge Case Tests:**
- Queue name validation: empty string, special characters, exactly 255 chars, 256 chars
- Vhost with special characters: "/" (default), "/prod", "/staging"
- Message count edge cases: 0 (empty), 1 (single message), 1,000,000 (very large)
- Queue already purged (idempotent - purge empty queue returns 0)
- Concurrent purge operations on same queue
- Queue created after purge attempt (404 then success on retry)
[Source: docs-bmad/test-design-system.md#Edge-Case-Testing]

**Test Fixtures and Factories:**
- Create Pydantic factories for PurgeQueueRequest test data generation (test-design-system.md controllability)
- Use pytest fixtures for HTTPClientManager mocking
- Mock response bodies: `{"message_count": N}` with various N values
- Per-test vhost creation/deletion fixtures for integration tests (test-design-system.md isolation pattern)

## Dev Agent Record

### Context Reference

- docs-bmad/sprint-artifacts/stories/3-4-purge-queue-operation.context.xml

### Agent Model Used

Claude 3.5 Sonnet (2024-12-30)

### Completion Notes

**Completed:** 2025-12-30
**Definition of Done:** All acceptance criteria met, code reviewed, tests passing

### Debug Log References

**Implementation Plan:**
1. Created PurgeQueueRequest Pydantic schema with name validation (reused from DeleteQueueRequest pattern)
2. Implemented PurgeQueueOperation class following DeleteQueueOperation structure
3. Used DELETE /api/queues/{vhost}/{name}/contents endpoint (NOT queue deletion endpoint)
4. Parsed response body {"message_count": N} to extract purged count
5. Added structured logging with 6 event types: start, success, empty, slow, not_found, timeout
6. Implemented performance monitoring with 500ms threshold warning
7. Wrote 47 comprehensive unit tests (23 schema + 24 operation tests)
8. All tests passing, no regressions introduced

**Key Decisions:**
- No safety validation required (simpler than delete operation - no force flag)
- Empty queues (message_count=0) return success, not error (AC #6)
- Performance threshold 500ms vs 100ms for delete (higher due to message processing)
- Reused name validator from CreateQueueRequest/DeleteQueueRequest for consistency
- Operation placed in existing topology.py file alongside List/Create/Delete operations
- Schema added to existing topology.py schemas file

**Testing Strategy:**
- 23 schema validation tests covering valid/invalid names, vhost variations, edge cases
- 24 operation tests: success scenarios, error handling, endpoint verification, response parsing, logging, performance
- All tests use pytest-asyncio with mock HTTPClientManager
- Verified correlation_id propagation through all log entries
- Performance tests validate 500ms threshold warning
