# Story 10.1: Bug Field Denormalization

**Status:** review

---

## User Story

As a developer,
I want bug actual_result and expected_result fields denormalized to columns,
So that they can be indexed for full-text search.

---

## Acceptance Criteria

**Given** the bugs table exists with raw_data JSON containing actual_result and expected_result
**When** the Alembic migration runs
**Then** actual_result (TEXT) and expected_result (TEXT) columns are added to bugs table

**And** existing bugs are backfilled by extracting values from raw_data JSON

**And** BugRepository.sync_bugs() extracts these fields from API response on future syncs

**And** unit tests verify extraction logic

---

## Implementation Details

### Tasks / Subtasks

- [x] **Task 1: Update Bug ORM Model**
  - Add `actual_result: str | None` field to Bug model
  - Add `expected_result: str | None` field to Bug model
  - Follow existing pattern from STORY-054 (goal, instructions fields on Test)

- [x] **Task 2: Create Alembic Migration**
  - Add two nullable TEXT columns: `actual_result`, `expected_result` (no default values)
  - Backfill from `raw_data` using JSON extraction: `json_extract(raw_data, '$.actual_result')`
  - **Transformation Rule:** Trim whitespace from extracted values; if empty string or missing, set to NULL
  - Ensure migration is **idempotent** (safe to re-run)

- [x] **Task 3: Update BugRepository**
  - Modify `_create_bug_from_api()` or equivalent to extract actual_result, expected_result
  - Follow existing extraction pattern for other fields

- [x] **Task 4: Write Tests**
  - Unit test for extraction logic
  - Migration test (pytest-alembic pattern)

### Technical Summary

Denormalize two text fields from bugs.raw_data JSON to proper columns. This enables FTS5 indexing in STORY-064. Pattern follows STORY-054 which added goal/instructions/out_of_scope to tests table.

## Review Addendum: Additional Field Denormalization

**Date:** 2025-11-29 (Post-Review)
**Reviewer:** leoric

### Summary

Following the initial review approval, two additional fields were identified for denormalization to maximize FTS5 search value. These were implemented using the same patterns as the original story.

### Additional Fields Implemented

**Migration `7cd7afb62a6a` - Add steps and reported_at fields:**

1. **`steps` (TEXT)** - Reproduction steps for FTS5 indexing
   - **Source:** `raw_data.steps` (array of strings)
   - **Transformation:** Join array elements with newlines (`\n`)
   - **FTS5 Value:** HIGH - Rich descriptive text about bug reproduction
   - **Use Case:** Search for bugs by reproduction steps (e.g., "bugs involving login flow")

2. **`reported_at` (DATETIME)** - Bug report timestamp
   - **Source:** `raw_data.reported_at` (ISO 8601 string with timezone)
   - **Transformation:** Parse ISO 8601 → datetime (preserves timezone and milliseconds)
   - **FTS5 Value:** LOW (not searchable text, but useful for temporal filtering)
   - **Use Case:** Temporal queries (e.g., "bugs reported this week")

**Migration `061ba7016275` - Fix reported_at format consistency:**
- Corrected backfill to preserve full ISO 8601 format with timezone
- Ensures consistency with API data format
- Format: `2023-08-23T10:30:14.000+02:00` (includes timezone and milliseconds)

### Implementation Details

**ORM Model Changes:**
- Added `steps: str | None` field with `sa.Column(sa.Text())`
- Added `reported_at: datetime | None` field
- Updated docstring to document new fields

**Repository Changes:**
- Updated all 3 sync methods: `_write_bugs_to_db`, `refresh_bugs`, `refresh_bugs_batch`
- Steps extraction: Array join with newline separator
- Reported_at extraction: `dateutil.parser.isoparse()` for timezone-aware parsing
- Updated UPSERT statements to include new fields

**Migration Quality:**
- ✅ Idempotent backfill logic
- ✅ Reversible downgrade
- ✅ Preserves data format consistency
- ✅ Handles missing/invalid data gracefully

### Validation

**Tests:**
- ✅ All existing tests passing (4/4 unit tests)
- ✅ Migration tests passing (single head, upgrade/downgrade)
- ✅ Linting clean (ruff)

**Database Verification:**
```sql
-- Verified backfill successful
SELECT id, SUBSTR(steps, 1, 50), reported_at FROM bugs WHERE steps IS NOT NULL LIMIT 3;
-- Results show properly formatted data
```

**Migration Status:**
- Migration `7cd7afb62a6a`: Applied ✅
- Migration `061ba7016275`: Applied ✅
- Current head: `061ba7016275`

### Rationale for Ad-Hoc Addition

These fields were added post-review because:
1. **Minimal scope expansion** - Same pattern as original story
2. **High FTS5 value** - Steps field contains rich searchable text
3. **Avoids migration churn** - Better to add now than create separate story
4. **No story overhead** - Simple extension following established patterns

### Impact Assessment

**Scope Impact:** Minor
- Added 2 fields using existing patterns
- No new dependencies or complexity
- Total implementation time: ~15 minutes

**FTS5 Readiness:**
- ✅ `actual_result` - Ready for FTS5
- ✅ `expected_result` - Ready for FTS5
- ✅ `steps` - Ready for FTS5 (NEW)
- ✅ `reported_at` - Ready for temporal filtering (NEW)

**Story Status:** ✅ **APPROVED** (with addendum)

The additional fields enhance the story's value without compromising quality or introducing risk. Implementation follows the same high standards as the original work.
