# STORY-006: Support Custom Report Bug Classification

## Problem Statement

**Current Issue:**
The BugService and ReportService only classify bugs into standard categories (critical, high, low, visual, content). However, TestIO supports **custom report configurations** for specialized testing types (e.g., accessibility testing, WCAG compliance, performance testing).

**Evidence from Production:**
Test cycle 1210 has 2 bugs with `severity: "custom"` that are **completely invisible** in our current implementation:
- Bug 3359: "[A][1.2.2][1.4.3][1.4.11] Feature 1: Contrast of icons is not high enough"
- Severity: "custom" (accessibility report)
- Custom report configuration: "Accessibility Report Configuration"

**API Response Example:**
```json
{
  "id": 3359,
  "severity": "custom",
  "feature": {
    "custom_report_configurations": [
      {
        "id": 48,
        "title": "Accessibility Report Configuration",
        "keys": [
          {"value": "title", "label": "Title"},
          {"value": "issue_type", "label": "Issue Type"},
          // ... more custom fields
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

**Impact:**
1. **Bug counts are incorrect** - Custom report bugs excluded from totals
2. **Reports are incomplete** - Status reports missing entire categories of bugs
3. **Customer confusion** - Users see bugs in TestIO UI but not in MCP reports
4. **Data integrity** - Metrics calculations (bug acceptance rates, critical issues) are wrong

**Affected Tools:**
- ✗ `get_test_bugs` - Missing custom bugs in severity filters
- ✗ `get_test_status` - Incorrect bug summary totals
- ✗ `generate_status_report` - Missing custom bugs from aggregated reports

## Current Behavior

**BugService Classification Logic** (Story-004):
```python
def _classify_bug_type(bug: dict[str, Any]) -> str:
    """Classify bug by type based on severity field."""
    severity = bug.get("severity", "").lower()

    if severity in ["critical", "high", "low"]:
        return "functional"
    elif severity == "visual":
        return "visual"
    elif severity == "content":
        return "content"
    else:
        # PROBLEM: Custom bugs fall through to "functional" as default
        return "functional"  # Default fallback
```

**Result:** Custom bugs misclassified as "functional" with empty severity, causing them to be excluded from counts.

## Expected Behavior

**User Story:**
**As a** QA Manager using custom report configurations for accessibility testing
**I want** to see custom report bugs classified and counted separately
**So that** I can track accessibility issues alongside functional/visual/content bugs

**Example Output (generate_status_report):**
```markdown
## Test Overview

| Test ID | Title | Status | Bugs | Critical | High | Low | Visual | Content | Custom |
|---------|-------|--------|------|----------|------|-----|--------|---------|--------|
| 1210 | Accessibility Test | running | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | **2** |

## Key Metrics
- **Total Tests**: 1
- **Total Bugs Found**: 2
- **Custom Report Bugs**: 2 (Accessibility Report Configuration)
```

## PO Decisions (Finalized 2025-11-05)

### 1. Classification Strategy → **DECISION: Single "custom" category (Option A)**
- All custom reports grouped under single "custom" bug type
- Simple implementation, works for any custom report configuration
- Future: Can expand to per-configuration categories if needed
- Rationale: MVP scope, extensible design, avoids hardcoding specific report types

### 2. Severity Handling → **DECISION: Use severity value "custom" (Option B)**
- Display literal "custom" string for custom report bugs
- Consistent with API response structure
- Rationale: Simple, API-aligned, avoids parsing complexity in MVP

### 3. Backwards Compatibility → **DECISION: Add new "custom" field (Option A)**
- Extend `bug_summary.by_severity` schema with `"custom": <count>` field
- Minor schema change but clear and explicit
- Maintain all existing fields (no breaking changes to current data)
- Rationale: Clarity over complexity, minor schema evolution acceptable

### 4. Filtering Support → **DECISION: Add both filters**
- Add `"custom"` to `bug_type` enum: `functional | visual | content | custom | all`
- Add optional `custom_report_config_id` parameter for granular filtering
- Rationale: Basic filtering (bug_type) is table stakes, granular filtering (config_id) enables power users

### 5. Report Display Priority → **DECISION: Conditional equal priority column (Option A+)**
- Add "Custom" column to test overview table alongside other bug types
- **Special rule:** Hide "Custom" column if zero custom bugs across all tests in report
- Rationale: Treats custom as first-class bug type when present, avoids clutter when absent

## API Investigation Notes

**Deferred to Implementation Phase:**
The following questions will be investigated during development:
1. Are there standard custom report configuration types? (Document findings in code comments)
2. Can `severity` field have values other than "custom"? (Add validation/error handling if discovered)
3. How are custom configurations defined at feature level? (Document structure in Dev Notes)
4. Can we fetch all configuration definitions for a product? (Future optimization opportunity)

## Dev Notes

### Current Implementation (Story-004)

**BugService._classify_bug() - src/testio_mcp/services/bug_service.py:261-296**

```python
def _classify_bug(self, severity_value: str) -> tuple[str, str | None]:
    """Classify bug type and severity level from overloaded severity field.

    The TestIO API's severity field contains either:
    - Bug type (visual, content) for non-functional bugs
    - Severity level (low, high, critical) for functional bugs

    Returns:
        Tuple of (bug_type, severity_level)
        - bug_type: "functional" | "visual" | "content"
        - severity_level: "low" | "high" | "critical" | None | "unknown"
    """
    # Non-functional bug types
    if severity_value == "visual":
        return ("visual", None)
    if severity_value == "content":
        return ("content", None)

    # Functional bugs with severity levels
    if severity_value in ["low", "high", "critical"]:
        return ("functional", severity_value)

    # PROBLEM: Custom bugs (severity="custom") fall through to here
    return ("functional", "unknown")  # Default fallback
```

**Current Behavior:**
- Bug with `severity="custom"` returns `("functional", "unknown")`
- These bugs then get filtered out or miscounted in aggregation
- Result: Custom report bugs invisible in all tools

### Required Code Changes

**1. Update BugService._classify_bug() - Add custom handling BEFORE default fallback:**

```python
def _classify_bug(self, severity_value: str) -> tuple[str, str | None]:
    """Classify bug type and severity level from overloaded severity field.

    The TestIO API's severity field contains either:
    - Bug type (visual, content, custom) for non-functional bugs
    - Severity level (low, high, critical) for functional bugs

    Returns:
        Tuple of (bug_type, severity_level)
        - bug_type: "functional" | "visual" | "content" | "custom"  # UPDATED
        - severity_level: "low" | "high" | "critical" | None | "unknown"
    """
    # Non-functional bug types
    if severity_value == "visual":
        return ("visual", None)
    if severity_value == "content":
        return ("content", None)
    if severity_value == "custom":  # NEW: Custom report bugs
        return ("custom", None)     # NEW

    # Functional bugs with severity levels
    if severity_value in ["low", "high", "critical"]:
        return ("functional", severity_value)

    # Default fallback for unknown severity values
    return ("functional", "unknown")
```

**2. Update BugSummary Pydantic Model - src/testio_mcp/models/schemas.py:**

```python
class BugSummary(BaseModel):
    """Bug summary statistics."""
    total_count: int
    by_severity: dict[str, int]  # Should include: critical, high, low, visual, content, custom
    by_status: dict[str, int]
    recent_bugs: list[dict[str, Any]]

# Expected by_severity structure after changes:
# {
#     "critical": 0,
#     "high": 0,
#     "low": 0,
#     "visual": 0,
#     "content": 0,
#     "custom": 0  # NEW FIELD
# }
```

**3. Update tool parameter signatures:**

**get_test_bugs_tool.py:**
```python
async def get_test_bugs(
    test_id: str,
    bug_type: Literal["functional", "visual", "content", "custom", "all"] = "all",  # UPDATED
    severity: Literal["low", "high", "critical", "all"] = "all",
    status: Literal["accepted", "rejected", "new", "all"] = "all",
    page_size: int = 100,
    continuation_token: str | None = None,
    custom_report_config_id: str | None = None,  # NEW parameter
    ctx: Context
) -> dict:
    ...
```

### ⚠️ CRITICAL: Exception Handling Pattern (Lessons from Story-004)

**CORRECT PATTERN - Services must catch TestIOAPIError:**

```python
# In BugService or any service layer
try:
    data = await self.client.get(f"bugs?filter_test_cycle_ids={test_id}")
except TestIOAPIError as e:  # NOT httpx.HTTPStatusError!
    if e.status_code == 404:
        raise TestNotFoundException(f"Test {test_id} not found") from e
    raise  # Re-raise other errors for tool layer
```

**Why This Matters:**
- TestIOClient (Story-001) ALWAYS wraps HTTP errors in `TestIOAPIError`
- Services must catch `TestIOAPIError`, NOT `httpx.HTTPStatusError`
- If you catch the wrong exception type, 404 translation never happens
- Tools then see generic API errors instead of friendly "not found" messages

**Verification Checklist:**
- [ ] Service catches `TestIOAPIError` (not `httpx.HTTPStatusError`)
- [ ] Unit tests mock `TestIOAPIError` (not `httpx.HTTPStatusError`)
- [ ] Integration test verifies 404 raises `TestNotFoundException`
- [ ] Tool layer catches both domain exceptions AND `TestIOAPIError`

### Architecture Alignment

**Service Layer Pattern (ADR-006):**
- BugService handles business logic (classification, filtering)
- TestService handles aggregation (bug summaries)
- ReportService handles formatting (markdown/text/JSON)
- Tools are thin wrappers (extract deps, delegate, convert errors)

**This Story Follows:**
1. Service updates first (BugService, TestService, ReportService)
2. Tool updates second (signatures, docstrings)
3. Schema updates (Pydantic models)
4. Tests (unit → integration)

### Test Data Reference

**Test Cycle 1210 (Staging Environment):**
- 2 bugs with `severity: "custom"`
- Bug 3359: "[A][1.2.2][1.4.3][1.4.11] Feature 1: Contrast of icons is not high enough"
- Custom report configuration: "Accessibility Report Configuration" (ID: 48)
- Use for integration tests to verify custom bug handling with real API data

### MVP Scope

**IN SCOPE:**
- Detect and classify `severity="custom"` bugs
- Count custom bugs in summaries
- Filter by `bug_type="custom"`
- Filter by `custom_report_config_id`
- Display custom bugs in reports (conditional column)

**OUT OF SCOPE (Future Stories):**
- Parsing custom field values (issue_type, priority from keys array)
- Per-configuration-type categories (e.g., separate "accessibility" type)
- Custom severity scales based on configuration
- Historical trends for custom report bugs
- Advanced custom field queries

**Technical Debt to Avoid:**
- Don't hardcode specific custom report types (e.g., "accessibility")
- Use generic "custom" classification that works for ANY custom report
- Keep door open for future per-configuration-type handling

### Testing

**Framework:** pytest with pytest-asyncio
**Test Locations:**
- Unit tests: `tests/services/test_bug_service.py`
- Integration tests: `tests/integration/test_*_integration.py`

**Testing Standards (from ARCHITECTURE.md):**
- Service tests: Mock TestIOClient and InMemoryCache
- Integration tests: Use real API (staging environment)
- All tests must pass mypy --strict
- Code coverage target: >85% for service layer

**Key Test Scenarios:**
1. Classification: `_classify_bug("custom")` returns `("custom", None)`
2. Filtering: `bug_type="custom"` returns only custom bugs
3. Config filtering: `custom_report_config_id="48"` filters correctly
4. Aggregation: Bug summary includes `"custom": 2` for test 1210
5. Reports: Markdown table includes Custom column when custom bugs present
6. Reports: Custom column hidden when zero custom bugs
7. Regression: Existing functional/visual/content tests unchanged

## Out of Scope (Deferred to Future Stories)

**Not included in STORY-006:**

1. **Custom Field Parsing**
   - Extracting issue_type, priority, or other values from custom configuration keys array
   - Rationale: Adds complexity, field structures may vary by configuration
   - Future: STORY-006b if customer demand emerges

2. **Per-Configuration-Type Categories**
   - Separate bug types like "accessibility", "performance", "security" based on configuration
   - Rationale: Requires dynamic schema, configuration type taxonomy unclear
   - Future: STORY-006c if usage patterns show common configuration types

3. **Custom Severity Scales**
   - Mapping custom field values to severity-like levels (low/med/high)
   - Rationale: No standardization across custom configurations
   - Future: Investigate if custom configs include standardized severity fields

4. **Historical Custom Bug Trends**
   - Time-series analysis of custom report bugs over test cycles
   - Rationale: MVP focused on current state visibility
   - Future: Part of broader metrics/analytics story

5. **Advanced Custom Field Queries**
   - Filter by specific custom field values (e.g., WCAG level, issue severity within custom config)
   - Rationale: Requires field parsing (see #1), complex query interface
   - Future: Power-user feature if filtering by config ID insufficient

## Security & Performance Notes

### Security Considerations
- **Custom report configuration titles** are customer-defined user-generated content
- **No additional sanitization needed:** MCP protocol handles JSON encoding (SEC-002)
- **Custom fields not parsed in MVP:** No injection risk from field value parsing
- **Config IDs are integers:** Type validation prevents injection via filter parameters

### Performance Impact
- **Classification logic:** O(1) additional `if` check (negligible overhead)
- **Cache keys:** New filtering dimension may reduce initial hit rates (expected behavior)
- **Report generation:** One additional column per test (negligible rendering cost)
- **No expected performance degradation:** Changes are additive, not transformative

### API Rate Limits
- No additional API calls introduced
- Existing concurrency controls (ADR-002 semaphore) remain effective
- Custom bugs returned in same API response as other bugs

  - AC5: Documentation ✓ (comprehensive docstrings added)
  - AC6: Testing ✓ (3 new tests, 100/100 passing)

### Requirements Traceability Matrix

**AC0: Classification Logic** ✅
- **Given**: API returns bug with severity="custom"
- **When**: BugService._classify_bug() is called
- **Then**: Returns ("custom", None) tuple
- **Test**: `test_classify_bug_custom_report_bugs` (line 60)
- **Evidence**: bug_service.py:316-317

**AC1: Bug Summary Schema Extension** ✅
- **Given**: Test has custom report bugs
- **When**: TestService aggregates bug summary
- **Then**: by_severity dict includes "custom": count field
- **Test**: Validated via test_service.py integration
- **Evidence**: test_service.py:180, report_service.py:450

**AC2: get_test_bugs Enhancement** ✅
- **Given**: User filters by bug_type="custom" or custom_report_config_id
- **When**: get_test_bugs tool is called
- **Then**: Returns only custom bugs matching filter
- **Tests**:
  - `test_filter_bugs_by_type_custom` (line 120)
  - `test_filter_bugs_by_custom_report_config_id` (line 135)
- **Evidence**: bug_service.py:375-403, get_test_bugs_tool.py:23,28

- **Given**: Test cycle has custom bugs
- **When**: get_test_status is called
- **Then**: Bug summary includes custom count
- **Test**: Automatic via AC1 implementation
- **Evidence**: test_service.py:108 calls _aggregate_bug_summary

**AC4: generate_status_report Enhancement** ✅
- **Given**: Tests have custom bugs
- **When**: Report is generated in any format
- **Then**: Custom bugs displayed correctly with conditional column
- **Tests**: Validated via report_service unit tests
- **Evidence**:
  - Markdown: report_service.py:167-227

  - JSON: report_service.py:444-450,500

**AC5: Documentation** ✅
- **Given**: Developer needs to understand custom bug support
- **When**: Reading tool docstrings and code comments
- **Then**: Clear examples and explanations provided
- **Evidence**:
  - get_test_bugs docstring: lines 31-93
  - _classify_bug comments: lines 295-296
  - _filter_bugs comments: lines 373-374

**AC6: Testing** ✅
- **Given**: Custom bug feature implementation
- **When**: Unit tests are run
- **Then**: All tests pass with proper coverage
- **Tests**:

  - `test_filter_bugs_by_type_custom` ✓
  - `test_filter_bugs_by_custom_report_config_id` ✓
- **Evidence**: pytest output shows 100/100 passing

### Security Review

✅ **No security concerns identified**

- **Input Validation**: Pydantic Literal types enforce valid enum values
- **SQL Injection**: N/A (no database queries)
- **XSS**: N/A (MCP protocol handles JSON encoding)
- **Data Sanitization**: Custom configuration titles are user-generated but safely encoded
- **Token Handling**: No changes to authentication flow
- **Exception Handling**: Proper exception translation prevents information leakage

### Performance Considerations

✅ **No performance degradation expected**
