# STORY-001: Project Setup & Authentication

## User Story

**As a** developer
**I want** to initialize a FastMCP server project with working TestIO Customer API authentication
**So that** I can build MCP tools on top of a solid foundation with verified API connectivity

## Context

This is the foundation story for the TestIO MCP Server MVP. It establishes the project structure, configures the FastMCP framework, and verifies that we can successfully authenticate with the TestIO Customer API using token-based auth.

**Key Technical Decisions**:
- **FastMCP** over official MCP SDK (Pythonic decorator API, built-in validation)
- **httpx** for async HTTP client (modern, async/await support)
- **Pydantic v2** for data validation and JSON Schema generation
- **pytest-asyncio** for testing async code

## Acceptance Criteria

### AC1: Python Project Initialized
- [ ] Python 3.12+ project created with proper structure
- [ ] `pyproject.toml` configured with FastMCP, Pydantic, httpx dependencies
- [ ] Virtual environment set up (using `uv` or `venv`)
- [ ] Project structure follows FastMCP best practices:
  ```
  testio-mcp/
  ├── src/
  │   └── testio_mcp/
  │       ├── __init__.py
  │       ├── server.py          # Main FastMCP server
  │       ├── api/
  │       │   ├── __init__.py
  │       │   └── client.py      # TestIO API client wrapper
  │       └── models/
  │           ├── __init__.py
  │           └── schemas.py     # Pydantic models
  ├── tests/
  │   ├── __init__.py
  │   └── test_auth.py
  ├── .env.example
  ├── README.md
  └── pyproject.toml
  ```

### AC2: FastMCP Server Initializes Successfully
- [ ] `src/testio_mcp/server.py` creates FastMCP instance
- [ ] Server starts without errors when run
- [ ] Server responds to MCP protocol handshake
- [ ] Example code:
  ```python
  from fastmcp import FastMCP

  mcp = FastMCP("TestIO MCP Server", version="0.1.0")

  @mcp.tool()
  async def health_check() -> dict:
      """Check if the MCP server is running."""
      return {"status": "healthy", "server": "TestIO MCP"}
  ```

### AC3: Environment Configuration Works
- [ ] `.env.example` template created with all required variables:
  ```bash
  # TestIO Customer API Configuration
  TESTIO_CUSTOMER_API_BASE_URL=https://api.test.io/customer/v2
  TESTIO_CUSTOMER_API_TOKEN=your_customer_token_here

  # Concurrency Settings (ADR-002)
  MAX_CONCURRENT_API_REQUESTS=10  # Max concurrent API requests (default: 10)

  # Cache Configuration (ADR-004)
  CACHE_TTL_PRODUCTS=3600      # 1 hour
  CACHE_TTL_TESTS=300          # 5 minutes
  CACHE_TTL_BUGS=60            # 1 minute

  # Pagination Settings (ADR-003, ADR-005)
  DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE=100        # Default items per page
  MAX_PAGE_SIZE=1000           # Maximum items user can request
  MAX_PRODUCTS_PER_QUERY=50    # Max products for timeframe queries

  # HTTP Client Configuration
  MAX_HTTP_CONNECTIONS=100           # Max connections in pool
  MAX_KEEPALIVE_CONNECTIONS=20       # Max idle connections
  MAX_ACQUIRE_TIMEOUT=10.0           # Max seconds to wait for connection from pool

  # Logging
  LOG_LEVEL=INFO
  ```
- [ ] Environment variables load correctly using `pydantic-settings`
- [ ] Configuration validation on startup (fail fast if token missing)
- [ ] `.env` added to `.gitignore`
- [ ] **Reference**: See [ADR-002](../architecture/adrs/ADR-002-concurrency-limits.md), [ADR-004](../architecture/adrs/ADR-004-cache-strategy-mvp.md), [ADR-005](../architecture/adrs/ADR-005-response-size-limits.md)

### AC4: TestIO API Client Wrapper Created
- [ ] `src/testio_mcp/api/client.py` implements TestIOClient class
- [ ] **ARCHITECTURE**: Client uses dependency injection pattern (ADR-002) with connection pooling
- [ ] Client accepts optional `semaphore` parameter for global concurrency control
- [ ] Client uses httpx.AsyncClient with persistent connection pool
- [ ] Client handles Token-based authentication header
- [ ] Client has configurable timeout (default 30s)
- [ ] Client implements async context manager (`__aenter__`/`__aexit__`) for lifecycle management
- [ ] Example implementation:
  ```python
  import asyncio
  import httpx
  from typing import Any, Dict, Optional

  class TestIOClient:
      """HTTP client wrapper for TestIO Customer API with connection pooling and concurrency control."""

      def __init__(
          self,
          base_url: str,
          api_token: str,

          max_connections: int = 100,
          max_keepalive_connections: int = 20,
          timeout: float = 30.0,
          semaphore: asyncio.Semaphore | None = None,  # Dependency injection (ADR-002)
      ):
          """

              api_token: Authentication token
              max_concurrent_requests: Max concurrent requests (used if no semaphore)
              max_connections: Maximum number of HTTP connections in pool
              max_keepalive_connections: Maximum number of idle connections
              timeout: Request timeout in seconds
              semaphore: Optional shared semaphore for global concurrency control (ADR-002).
                        If not provided, creates a new semaphore with max_concurrent_requests limit.
                        For production: server should pass a shared semaphore.

          # Production: server passes shared semaphore for global limiting
          # Tests: each client gets its own semaphore (no test pollution)
          self._semaphore = semaphore or asyncio.Semaphore(max_concurrent_requests)

          self._config = {
              "base_url": base_url,
              "headers": {"Authorization": f"Token {api_token}"},

                  max_keepalive_connections=max_keepalive_connections,
              ),
          }

      async def __aenter__(self) -> "TestIOClient":

              return response.json()
  ```
- [ ] **Reference**: See [ADR-002: Concurrency Limits](../architecture/adrs/ADR-002-concurrency-limits.md)

### AC5: Authentication Verified with Production Sandbox
- [ ] Test script successfully calls `GET /products` endpoint
- [ ] Receives 200 response with list of 225 products
- [ ] Token authentication header works correctly
- [ ] Test code:
  ```python
  import asyncio
  from testio_mcp.api.client import TestIOClient

  async def test_auth():
      client = TestIOClient(
          base_url=os.getenv("TESTIO_CUSTOMER_API_BASE_URL"),
          api_token=os.getenv("TESTIO_CUSTOMER_API_TOKEN")
      )
      products = await client.get("products")
      print(f"✅ Authenticated! Found {len(products['products'])} products")

  asyncio.run(test_auth())
  ```
- [ ] Test with known product ID 25073 (Affinity Studio - verified dataset)

### AC6: Error Handling for Authentication Errors
- [ ] HTTP 401 Unauthorized → Clear error message
- [ ] HTTP 403 Forbidden → Clear error message
- [ ] Both errors include instructions to check `.env` configuration
- [ ] Example error message format:
  ```
  ❌ Customer API authentication failed (HTTP 401 Unauthorized)
  ℹ️ Your API token is invalid or expired
  💡 Please verify TESTIO_CUSTOMER_API_TOKEN in .env file
  ```

### AC7: Code Quality Tools Configured
- [ ] **Ruff** configured for formatting and linting
  - [ ] `pyproject.toml` includes ruff configuration:
    ```toml
    [tool.ruff]
    line-length = 100
    target-version = "py311"

    [tool.ruff.lint]
    select = [
        "E",   # pycodestyle errors
        "W",   # pycodestyle warnings
        "F",   # pyflakes
        "I",   # isort
        "B",   # flake8-bugbear
        "C4",  # flake8-comprehensions
        "UP",  # pyupgrade
    ]
    ignore = [
        "E501",  # line too long (handled by formatter)
    ]

    [tool.ruff.lint.per-file-ignores]
    "__init__.py" = ["F401"]  # unused imports ok in __init__
    ```
  - [ ] Ruff format passes: `ruff format .`
  - [ ] Ruff lint passes: `ruff check .`

- [ ] **mypy** configured for type checking
  - [ ] `pyproject.toml` includes mypy configuration:
    ```toml
    [tool.mypy]
    python_version = "3.12"
    strict = true
    warn_return_any = true
    warn_unused_configs = true
    disallow_untyped_defs = true
    disallow_any_generics = true
    check_untyped_defs = true

    # AVOID ignore_missing_imports - it defeats type safety!
    # Only add overrides as LAST RESORT after these steps:
    # 1. Check if package has type stubs: `python -c "import pkg; print(pkg.__file__)"`
    #    Look for py.typed marker or .pyi files in package
    # 2. Check if types exist separately: `pip install types-<package>`
    # 3. Check if package is typed but mypy can't find it:
    #    Add to additional_dependencies in pre-commit or mypy CLI
    # 4. If truly untyped AND no workaround exists, add specific override:
    #    [[tool.mypy.overrides]]
    #    module = "specific_untyped_module"  # NOT wildcards!
    #    ignore_missing_imports = true
    #    # Document WHY: "No type stubs, no types-* package, verified 2025-11-04"
    ```
  - [ ] **Verify all dependencies have type support**:
    - FastMCP: Check for `py.typed` marker or type stubs
    - Pydantic: Fully typed (native support)
    - httpx: Fully typed (native support)
    - pytest: Install `types-pytest` if needed
  - [ ] **Only add overrides for truly untyped packages** (rare!)
  - [ ] Use specific module names, NEVER wildcards (`fastmcp.client` not `fastmcp.*`)
  - [ ] Document WHY each override is needed with comment
  - [ ] All type hints added to our code
  - [ ] Mypy passes with zero errors: `mypy src/`

- [ ] **pre-commit hooks configured** (REQUIRED):
  - [ ] `.pre-commit-config.yaml` created:
    ```yaml
    # .pre-commit-config.yaml
    # CRITICAL: These hooks MUST use same config as local ruff/mypy
    # Pre-commit reads from pyproject.toml [tool.ruff] and [tool.mypy] sections
    repos:
      - repo: https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff-pre-commit
        rev: v0.8.4  # Match version in pyproject.toml dev dependencies
        hooks:
          - id: ruff
            args: [--fix]  # Auto-fix issues when possible
          - id: ruff-format
      - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/mirrors-mypy
        rev: v1.13.0  # Match version in pyproject.toml dev dependencies
        hooks:
          - id: mypy
            # Must match runtime dependencies for proper type checking
            additional_dependencies: [
              "pydantic>=2.12.0",
              "httpx>=0.28.0",
              "fastmcp>=2.12.0",
            ]
    ```
  - [ ] **VERIFY configuration parity**:
    - [ ] Pre-commit ruff version matches `pyproject.toml` dev dependency
    - [ ] Pre-commit mypy version matches `pyproject.toml` dev dependency
    - [ ] Pre-commit `additional_dependencies` matches project dependencies
    - [ ] Test: `ruff check .` and `pre-commit run ruff` produce identical results
    - [ ] Test: `mypy src/` and `pre-commit run mypy` produce identical results
  - [ ] Pre-commit hooks installed: `pre-commit install`
  - [ ] Hooks verified: `pre-commit run --all-files`
  - [ ] All checks pass on test commit
  - [ ] **Rationale**: Prevents committing non-compliant code, ensures consistent quality across team

### AC8: Basic Test Suite Passes
- [ ] `tests/test_auth.py` tests authentication success and failure cases
- [ ] Uses pytest-asyncio for async test support
- [ ] Example test:
  ```python
  import pytest
  from testio_mcp.api.client import TestIOClient

  @pytest.mark.asyncio
  async def test_successful_authentication():
      client = TestIOClient(
          base_url="https://api.test.io/customer/v2",
          api_token=os.getenv("TESTIO_CUSTOMER_API_TOKEN")
      )
      products = await client.get("products")
      assert "products" in products
      assert len(products["products"]) > 0

  @pytest.mark.asyncio
  async def test_failed_authentication():
      client = TestIOClient(
          base_url="https://api.test.io/customer/v2",
          api_token="invalid_token"
      )
      with pytest.raises(httpx.HTTPStatusError) as exc_info:
          await client.get("products")
      assert exc_info.value.response.status_code == 401
  ```
- [ ] All tests pass: `pytest tests/test_auth.py -v`

### AC9: Pre-Commit Security Hooks (SEC-001 - CRITICAL)
- [ ] Create `.pre-commit-config.yaml` with security hooks
- [ ] Add `forbid-files` hook to prevent `.env` commits
- [ ] Add `detect-secrets` hook to scan for API tokens
- [ ] Add pre-commit to dev dependencies
- [ ] Initialize secrets baseline: `detect-secrets scan --baseline .secrets.baseline`
- [ ] Install hooks: `pre-commit install`
- [ ] Verify hooks work by testing `.env` commit prevention
- [ ] Document setup in README.md Development Setup section
- [ ] **Risk**: Token exposure in git commits (Score: 9)
- [ ] **Reference**: See `docs/architecture/STORY_1_SECURITY_ADDENDUM.md` AC9

### AC10: Token Sanitization in Error Messages (SEC-002 - CRITICAL)
- [ ] Add `_sanitize_token_for_logging()` method to TestIOClient
- [ ] Sanitize all error messages before raising exceptions
- [ ] Add httpx event hooks to sanitize debug output:
  - [ ] `_sanitize_request_log()` for request logging
  - [ ] `_sanitize_response_log()` for response logging
- [ ] Pre-compile token regex pattern for performance
- [ ] Create test: `tests/unit/test_client_security.py` with:
  - [ ] `test_token_not_in_error_messages()` - Verify token never appears in HTTP errors
  - [ ] `test_token_not_in_url_error_messages()` - Verify URL-based token exposure sanitized
  - [ ] `test_token_not_in_timeout_errors()` - Verify timeout errors sanitized
  - [ ] `test_token_not_in_connection_errors()` - Verify connection errors sanitized
  - [ ] `test_sanitize_authorization_header_format()` - Verify header sanitization
  - [ ] `test_multiple_tokens_in_same_message()` - Verify all occurrences sanitized
- [ ] All security tests pass
- [ ] **Risk**: Token exposure in logs (Score: 6)
- [ ] **Reference**: See `docs/architecture/STORY_1_SECURITY_ADDENDUM.md` AC10

### AC11: Semaphore Dependency Injection (ARCH-001 - Implement ADR-002 Correctly)
- [ ] Implement dependency injection pattern for semaphore sharing
- [ ] Add `semaphore: asyncio.Semaphore | None = None` parameter to TestIOClient.__init__
- [ ] Client uses provided semaphore OR creates new one if None: `self._semaphore = semaphore or asyncio.Semaphore(max_concurrent_requests)`
- [ ] Server creates shared semaphore via `get_global_semaphore()` function
- [ ] Server injects shared semaphore into TestIOClient: `TestIOClient(..., semaphore=shared_semaphore)`
- [ ] Create test: `tests/unit/test_global_semaphore.py` with:
  - [ ] `test_shared_semaphore_via_dependency_injection()` - Verify clients share injected semaphore
  - [ ] `test_isolated_semaphores_without_injection()` - Verify clients get isolated semaphores when None
  - [ ] `test_shared_semaphore_enforces_limit()` - Verify concurrency limit enforced across clients
  - [ ] `test_custom_limit_without_shared_semaphore()` - Verify custom limits work when no semaphore provided
  - [ ] `test_sequential_client_creation_with_shared_semaphore()` - Verify sequential clients share semaphore
  - [ ] `test_phase_3_multi_tenant_simulation()` - Verify global limit across users
- [ ] All semaphore tests pass (6 tests total)
- [ ] Update ADR-002 implementation example to show dependency injection pattern
- [ ] **Issue**: Per-instance semaphore violated ADR-002 global concurrency intent; DI pattern provides flexibility for production (shared) and testing (isolated)
- [ ] **Architecture**: Dependency injection provides best of both worlds - global control in production, test isolation in tests, extensibility for multi-tenant
- [ ] **Reference**: See `docs/architecture/STORY_1_SECURITY_ADDENDUM.md` AC11

### AC12: Connection Pool Timeout (REL-001)
- [ ] Add `max_acquire_timeout` to httpx.Limits configuration
- [ ] Set timeout to 10.0 seconds (prevent indefinite blocking)
- [ ] Document in code comments why timeout is needed:
  - "Prevent indefinite blocking when pool is exhausted (REL-001)"
  - "If all connections are in use, wait max 10s for one to free up"
  - "Without this, requests block forever"
- [ ] Add to `.env.example`: `MAX_ACQUIRE_TIMEOUT=10.0`
- [ ] **Issue**: Requests could block indefinitely waiting for connection
- [ ] **Reference**: See `docs/architecture/STORY_1_SECURITY_ADDENDUM.md` AC12

### AC13: FastMCP Type Support Verification (TYPE-001)
- [ ] Verify FastMCP has `py.typed` marker or type stubs:
  ```bash
  uv run python -c "import fastmcp; import pathlib; print((pathlib.Path(fastmcp.__file__).parent / 'py.typed').exists())"
  ```
- [ ] If missing, add mypy override to pyproject.toml:
  ```toml
  [[tool.mypy.overrides]]
  module = "fastmcp"
  ignore_missing_imports = true
  # NOTE: FastMCP lacks type stubs as of 2025-11-04
  # Tracked as technical debt: consider contributing stubs upstream
  ```
- [ ] Document as technical debt in Story 1 notes if override needed
- [ ] Add to future improvements list if types missing
- [ ] **Issue**: FastMCP type support unknown, blocks strict mypy (Score: 6)
- [ ] **Reference**: See `docs/architecture/STORY_1_SECURITY_ADDENDUM.md` AC13
### AC14: Structured Logging Foundation (OBS-001)
- [ ] Add logging configuration to Settings (src/testio_mcp/config.py):
  - [ ] `LOG_LEVEL: str = "INFO"` (already in .env.example)
  - [ ] `LOG_FORMAT: str = "json"` for structured logging
  - [ ] Add to `.env.example`: `LOG_FORMAT=json  # json or text`
- [ ] Configure logging in server.py on startup:
  ```python
  import logging
  import json
  from datetime import datetime

  class JSONFormatter(logging.Formatter):
      """Format logs as JSON for structured logging."""
      def format(self, record):
          log_obj = {
              "timestamp": datetime.utcnow().isoformat(),
              "level": record.levelname,
              "logger": record.name,
              "message": record.getMessage(),
          }
          if record.exc_info:
              log_obj["exception"] = self.formatException(record.exc_info)
          return json.dumps(log_obj)

  # In lifespan or startup
  logging.basicConfig(
      level=settings.LOG_LEVEL,
      format='%(message)s' if settings.LOG_FORMAT == 'json' else '%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
  )
  if settings.LOG_FORMAT == 'json':
      for handler in logging.root.handlers:
          handler.setFormatter(JSONFormatter())
  ```
- [ ] Add logger to TestIOClient (src/testio_mcp/api/client.py):
  ```python
  import logging

  logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

  async def get(self, endpoint: str, **kwargs) -> Dict[str, Any]:
      # Log request start (with sanitized info)
      logger.info(f"API Request: GET {endpoint}")
      logger.debug(f"Semaphore slots available: {self._semaphore._value}")

      async with self._semaphore:
          try:
              response = await self._client.get(endpoint, **kwargs)
              response.raise_for_status()

              # Log successful response
              logger.info(f"API Response: {response.status_code} ({len(response.content)} bytes)")
              return response.json()
          except httpx.HTTPStatusError as e:
              # Log error with sanitized details (token already sanitized by AC10)
              logger.error(f"API Error: {e.response.status_code} for GET {endpoint}")
              raise
          except httpx.TimeoutException as e:
              logger.error(f"API Timeout: GET {endpoint} exceeded {self._config['timeout']}s")
              raise
  ```
- [ ] Add test to verify token never appears in logs:
  ```python
  # tests/unit/test_logging.py

  import logging
  import pytest
  from testio_mcp.api.client import TestIOClient

  @pytest.mark.asyncio
  async def test_token_not_in_logs(caplog):
      """Verify API token never appears in log output."""
      caplog.set_level(logging.DEBUG)

      async with TestIOClient(
          base_url="https://api.test.io/customer/v2",
          api_token="secret_token_12345"
      ) as client:
          try:

          except Exception:
              pass  # We expect this to fail, just checking logs

      # Check all log messages
      for record in caplog.records:
          assert "secret_token_12345" not in record.message
          assert "Authorization" not in record.message or "****" in record.message
  ```
- [ ] Document logging usage in README.md:
  - How to set log level: `LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG`
  - How to use JSON format: `LOG_FORMAT=json`
  - How to view structured logs with jq: `python -m testio_mcp.server | jq .`
- [ ] **Resolution**: Addresses OBS-001 - structured logging for observability
- [ ] **Reference**: Foundation story should include logging infrastructure

### AC15: CI/CD Test Strategy (TEST-001)
- [ ] Add httpx-mock to dev dependencies:
  ```toml
  [project.optional-dependencies]
  dev = [
      # ... existing deps ...
      "pytest-httpx>=0.30.0",  # Mock httpx for unit tests
  ]
  ```
- [ ] Configure pytest markers in pytest.ini (or pyproject.toml):
  ```ini
  [tool.pytest.ini_options]
  markers = [
      "integration: marks tests requiring real API credentials (deselect with '-m \"not integration\"')",
      "unit: marks tests that can run without external dependencies",
  ]
  ```
- [ ] Update AC8 to include BOTH unit and integration tests:
  ```python
  # tests/unit/test_auth.py (UNIT TESTS with mocks)

  import pytest
  from pytest_httpx import HTTPXMock
  from testio_mcp.api.client import TestIOClient

  @pytest.mark.unit
  @pytest.mark.asyncio
  async def test_successful_authentication_mocked(httpx_mock: HTTPXMock):

          api_token="mock_token"
      ) as client:
          products = await client.get("products")

      assert "products" in products
      assert len(products["products"]) > 0
      assert products["products"][0]["id"] == 598

          json={"error": "Invalid token"}
      )

      async with TestIOClient(

          api_token="invalid_token"
      ) as client:
          with pytest.raises(httpx.HTTPStatusError) as exc_info:
              await client.get("products")

      assert exc_info.value.response.status_code == 401

  ```
- [ ] Update project structure in AC1 to include test organization:
  ```
  tests/
  ├── __init__.py
  ├── unit/                    # Unit tests (mocked, fast, no credentials)
  │   ├── __init__.py
  │   ├── test_auth.py
  │   ├── test_client_security.py
  │   ├── test_global_semaphore.py
  │   └── test_logging.py
  └── integration/             # Integration tests (real API, requires credentials)
      ├── __init__.py
      └── test_auth_integration.py
  ```
- [ ] Add to README.md Testing section:
  ```markdown
  ## Testing

  ### Run Unit Tests (fast, no credentials needed)
  ```bash
  pytest -m "not integration" -v
  # or shortcut
  pytest tests/unit/ -v
  ```

  ### Run Integration Tests (requires TESTIO_CUSTOMER_API_TOKEN)
  ```bash
  export TESTIO_CUSTOMER_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"
  pytest -m integration -v
  # or shortcut
  pytest tests/integration/ -v
  ```

  ### Run All Tests
  ```bash
  pytest -v
  ```

  ### CI/CD Configuration
  In CI pipelines, run only unit tests:
  ```yaml
  # GitHub Actions example
  - name: Run tests
    run: pytest -m "not integration" --cov=src --cov-report=xml
  ```
  ```
- [ ] Update Definition of Done to reflect test strategy:
  - [ ] Unit tests pass without credentials: `pytest -m "not integration"`
  - [ ] Integration tests pass with credentials: `pytest -m integration`
  - [ ] CI/CD runs unit tests only (no credentials needed)
- [ ] **Resolution**: Addresses TEST-001 - proper CI/CD test strategy with mocking
- [ ] **Reference**: Separates unit tests (fast, no deps) from integration tests (slow, requires API)
## Technical Implementation Notes

### Configuration Consistency (CRITICAL)

**Problem**: Pre-commit hooks and local tools can drift, causing "works on my machine" issues.

**Solution**: Single source of truth in `pyproject.toml`

```toml
# pyproject.toml - SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH
[tool.ruff]
line-length = 100  # Pre-commit ruff READS this
target-version = "py311"

[tool.mypy]
python_version = "3.12"  # Pre-commit mypy READS this
strict = true
```

**Verification Checklist**:
1. ✅ Version parity: `.pre-commit-config.yaml` versions match `[project.optional-dependencies]` dev
2. ✅ Dependency parity: `additional_dependencies` in pre-commit match `[project]` dependencies
3. ✅ Config parity: Both read from `[tool.ruff]` and `[tool.mypy]` in `pyproject.toml`
4. ✅ Test parity: Run both ways, confirm identical results:
   ```bash
   # Local tool
   ruff check .
   mypy src/

   # Pre-commit (should be identical)
   pre-commit run ruff --all-files
   pre-commit run mypy --all-files
   ```

**Anti-pattern to AVOID**:
```yaml
# ❌ BAD - config in .pre-commit-config.yaml
- id: ruff
  args: [--line-length=100, --fix]  # Duplicates pyproject.toml!
```

**Correct pattern**:
```yaml
# ✅ GOOD - reads from pyproject.toml
- id: ruff
  args: [--fix]  # Only runtime args, config from pyproject.toml
```

### Dependencies (pyproject.toml)

```toml
[project]
name = "testio-mcp"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "MCP server for TestIO Customer API integration"
requires-python = ">=3.12"
dependencies = [
    "fastmcp>=2.12.0",

```

### FastMCP Server Bootstrap

**ARCHITECTURE**: Use lifespan context manager for dependency injection (ADR-001)

```python
# src/testio_mcp/server.py
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from fastmcp import FastMCP, Context
from testio_mcp.api.client import TestIOClient
from testio_mcp.config import settings


@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(server: FastMCP):
    """
    Manage TestIO client lifecycle during server startup/shutdown.

    This lifespan handler:
    1. Creates TestIOClient with connection pool on startup
    2. Stores client in FastMCP context for dependency injection
    3. Automatically closes client on shutdown (via __aexit__)

    Reference: ADR-001 (API Client Dependency Injection)
    """
    # Startup: Create client with connection pooling
    async with TestIOClient(
        base_url=settings.TESTIO_CUSTOMER_API_BASE_URL,
        api_token=settings.TESTIO_CUSTOMER_API_TOKEN,
        max_concurrent_requests=settings.MAX_CONCURRENT_API_REQUESTS,
    ) as client:
        # Store client in server context for dependency injection
        server.context["testio_client"] = client

        # Server runs here
        yield

        # Shutdown: Client is automatically closed by __aexit__


# Create FastMCP server with lifespan
mcp = FastMCP("TestIO MCP Server", version="0.1.0", lifespan=lifespan)


@mcp.tool()
async def health_check(ctx: Context) -> dict:
    """
    Check if the MCP server and TestIO API are accessible.

    Args:
        ctx: FastMCP context (injected automatically, contains testio_client)
    """

    testio_client: TestIOClient = ctx["testio_client"]

    try:
        products = await testio_client.get("products")
        return {
            "status": "healthy",
            "server": "TestIO MCP",
            "api_accessible": True,
            "products_count": len(products.get("products", []))
        }
    except Exception as e:
        return {
            "status": "unhealthy",
            "server": "TestIO MCP",
            "api_accessible": False,
            "error": str(e)
        }
```

**Configuration** (src/testio_mcp/config.py):

```python
from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings


class Settings(BaseSettings):
    """Application settings loaded from environment variables."""

    # TestIO API Configuration
    TESTIO_CUSTOMER_API_BASE_URL: str
    TESTIO_CUSTOMER_API_TOKEN: str

    # Concurrency Settings (ADR-002)
    MAX_CONCURRENT_API_REQUESTS: int = 10  # Default: 10 concurrent requests

    # Cache TTLs (ADR-004)
    CACHE_TTL_PRODUCTS: int = 3600  # 1 hour
    CACHE_TTL_TESTS: int = 300      # 5 minutes
    CACHE_TTL_BUGS: int = 60        # 1 minute

    # Logging
    LOG_LEVEL: str = "INFO"

    class Config:
        env_file = ".env"


settings = Settings()
```

### httpx Client Configuration

**Key Features**:
- **Async context manager**: Proper connection pooling
- **Timeout configuration**: Prevent hanging requests
- **Automatic retry**: httpx-retry middleware (future enhancement)
- **Error handling**: Raise for status, catch httpx exceptions

```python
# Advanced configuration (future enhancement)
async def get_with_retry(self, endpoint: str, retries: int = 3) -> dict:
    """GET request with exponential backoff retry."""
    for attempt in range(retries):
        try:
            async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
                response = await client.get(
                    f"{self.base_url}/{endpoint}",
                    headers=self.headers,
                    timeout=self.timeout
                )
                response.raise_for_status()
                return response.json()
        except httpx.TimeoutException:
            if attempt == retries - 1:
                raise
            await asyncio.sleep(2 ** attempt)  # Exponential backoff
```

## Testing Strategy

### Manual Testing Steps
1. **Install dependencies**: `uv pip install -e ".[dev]"`
2. **Copy environment template**: `cp .env.example .env`
3. **Add real API token** to `.env`
4. **Run health check**:
   ```bash
   python -c "from testio_mcp.server import mcp; print(mcp)"
   ```
5. **Run test suite**: `pytest tests/test_auth.py -v`

### Automated Testing
- All tests should pass on CI/CD pipeline
- Tests should NOT require real API token (use mocking for CI)
- Integration tests with real API token run separately (marked with `@pytest.mark.integration`)

## Definition of Done

- [ ] All acceptance criteria met (AC1-AC8)
- [ ] **Code quality checks pass**:
  - [ ] `ruff format .` - No formatting changes needed

## QA Results

### Review Date: 2025-11-04

### Reviewed By: Quinn (Test Architect)

### Review Type: Pre-Implementation Quality Gate

**Context**: This is a preventive review conducted before implementation begins. The story is in TODO status with no code written yet. This review assesses the story design, acceptance criteria completeness, test strategy, and identifies potential risks.

### Code Quality Assessment

**Overall Story Quality**: ⚠️ **GOOD FOUNDATION WITH CRITICAL GAPS**

The story is well-structured with comprehensive acceptance criteria (AC1-AC8), clear technical implementation notes, and thoughtful architecture decisions (ADR-001, ADR-002). However, several critical security and reliability concerns were identified that must be addressed during implementation.

**Strengths**:
- ✅ Excellent dependency injection pattern via FastMCP lifespan
- ✅ Comprehensive pre-commit hook configuration for code quality
- ✅ Strong type safety requirements (strict mypy, no wildcard ignores)
- ✅ Clear connection pooling and concurrency control strategy
- ✅ Well-documented environment configuration

**Critical Gaps Identified**:
- 🔴 **Security**: No automated prevention of token exposure in git commits
- 🔴 **Security**: No token sanitization in error messages or httpx logs
- 🔴 **Type Safety**: FastMCP type support not verified (blocks strict mypy)
- ⚠️ **Architecture**: Semaphore scope ambiguity (instance vs global)
- ⚠️ **Reliability**: Missing connection pool acquisition timeout

### Refactoring Performed

**No refactoring performed** - this is a pre-implementation review. Recommendations below should be addressed during implementation.

### Compliance Check

- **Coding Standards**: ℹ️ N/A (docs/architecture/coding-standards.md doesn't exist yet)
- **Project Structure**: ℹ️ N/A (docs/architecture/unified-project-structure.md doesn't exist yet)
- **Testing Strategy**: ℹ️ N/A (docs/architecture/testing-strategy.md doesn't exist yet)
- **All ACs Met**: ⚠️ **GAPS FOUND** (see improvements checklist below)

**Finding**: Story references non-existent architecture documents. Should either create them or remove references.

### Improvements Checklist

**CRITICAL - Must Fix Before Implementation Begins**:

- [ ] **SEC-001**: Add pre-commit security hooks to `.pre-commit-config.yaml`:
  - [ ] `forbid-files` hook to prevent `.env` commits
  - [ ] `detect-secrets` hook for token pattern detection
  - [ ] Update AC7 to include these security hooks

- [ ] **SEC-002**: Add token sanitization requirements to AC6:
  - [ ] Implement `_sanitize_token_for_logging()` helper in `TestIOClient`
  - [ ] Add custom httpx event hooks to redact `Authorization` header from logs
  - [ ] Add test: `test_token_not_exposed_in_error_messages()`

- [ ] **TYPE-001**: Add FastMCP type verification to AC7:
  - [ ] Verify FastMCP has `py.typed` marker or type stubs
  - [ ] If missing, document this as BLOCKING issue for strict mypy
  - [ ] Consider alternative if FastMCP lacks type support

- [ ] **ARCH-001**: Fix semaphore scope in AC4 example code:
  - [ ] Change from instance-level to module-level global semaphore
  - [ ] Update code example to use `_GLOBAL_SEMAPHORE` pattern
  - [ ] Ensures ADR-002 compliance (global concurrency limit)

- [ ] **REL-001**: Add connection pool timeout to AC3 `.env.example`:
  - [ ] Add `MAX_ACQUIRE_TIMEOUT=10.0` environment variable
  - [ ] Update `httpx.Limits()` in AC4 to use `max_acquire_timeout`
  - [ ] Update `config.py` to load this setting

**RECOMMENDED - Should Address During Implementation**:

- [ ] **TEST-001**: Add mock strategy for CI/CD to AC8:
  - [ ] Add `httpx-mock` to dev dependencies
  - [ ] Create mocked versions of integration tests
  - [ ] Add `@pytest.mark.integration` decorator for real API tests
  - [ ] Add `@pytest.mark.skipif` for tests requiring real token

- [ ] **TEST-002**: Add test coverage for gaps identified in review:
  - [ ] Test: Settings validation failure (missing env vars)
  - [ ] Test: Semaphore concurrency limit enforcement
  - [ ] Test: Connection pool lifecycle (cleanup on __aexit__)
  - [ ] Test: TLS verification enabled (verify=True)
  - [ ] Test: Configuration parity (pre-commit versions match pyproject.toml)

- [ ] **DOC-001**: Resolve architecture documentation references:
  - [ ] Either create `docs/architecture/coding-standards.md`
  - [ ] Or remove references from story and review process
  - [ ] Same for `testing-strategy.md` and `unified-project-structure.md`

- [ ] **OBS-001**: Add structured logging (can defer to Story-008):
  - [ ] Add logging to `TestIOClient.get()` with request/response metadata
  - [ ] Log semaphore availability for debugging
  - [ ] Use safe logging (token sanitization applied)

- [ ] **CONFIG-001**: Move hardcoded values to `.env.example`:
  - [ ] `MAX_HTTP_CONNECTIONS=100`
  - [ ] `MAX_KEEPALIVE_CONNECTIONS=20`
  - [ ] `MAX_ACQUIRE_TIMEOUT=10.0`
  - [ ] Update `Settings` class to load these values
  - [ ] Update `TestIOClient.__init__` to accept from config

### Security Review

**Status**: 🔴 **FAIL** - Critical security gaps must be addressed

**Findings**:

1. **🔴 HIGH: Token Exposure in Git Commits**
   - **Risk Score**: 9 (probability 3 × impact 3)
   - **Issue**: `.gitignore` entry is manual, no automated prevention
   - **Attack Vector**: Developer runs `git add -f .env` or `.gitignore` is removed
   - **Mitigation**: Add pre-commit hooks (forbid-files, detect-secrets)

2. **🔴 HIGH: Token Exposure in Logs**
   - **Risk Score**: 6 (probability 2 × impact 3)
   - **Issue**: No sanitization of tokens in error messages or httpx debug logs
   - **Attack Vector**: Token appears in stack traces, debug logs, error messages
   - **Mitigation**: Implement token sanitization helper, custom httpx event hooks

3. **⚠️ MEDIUM: Token Reuse Across Environments**
   - **Risk Score**: 4 (probability 2 × impact 2)
   - **Issue**: `.env.example` doesn't clearly indicate environment separation
   - **Attack Vector**: Production token accidentally used in development
   - **Mitigation**: Add environment labels, validation warnings in Settings

4. **✅ LOW: TLS Verification**
   - **Risk Score**: 1 (probability 1 × impact 1)
   - **Issue**: httpx defaults to `verify=True` but not explicitly tested
   - **Mitigation**: Add test to verify TLS verification never disabled

**Test Coverage Requirements**:
```python
# tests/test_security.py (NEW FILE REQUIRED)

def test_token_not_exposed_in_error_messages():
    """SEC-002: Ensure token doesn't appear in exception messages."""
    # Verify token sanitization works

def test_env_file_not_committed():
    """SEC-001: Verify .env is in .gitignore."""
    # Check .gitignore contains .env

def test_tls_verification_enabled():
    """SEC-004: Verify TLS verification never disabled."""
    # Check client config has verify=True
```

### Performance Considerations

**Status**: ✅ **PASS** - Good foundation

**Findings**:
- ✅ Connection pooling reduces TCP handshake latency (~100-200ms per request)
- ✅ Semaphore limits concurrent requests (prevents API overload)
- ✅ 30s timeout prevents hanging forever
- ⚠️ Consider separate timeouts for fast vs slow endpoints (future)

**Recommendation**: Monitor performance in Story-008, add metrics/telemetry post-MVP.

### Reliability Considerations

**Status**: ⚠️ **CONCERNS** - Missing timeouts and retry logic

**Findings**:
- ⚠️ **Missing**: Connection pool acquisition timeout (requests can block indefinitely)
- ⚠️ **Missing**: Retry logic for transient failures (acceptable to defer to Story-008)
- ✅ **Good**: Graceful shutdown via `__aexit__` cleans up connections
- ✅ **Good**: FastMCP lifespan ensures cleanup on server shutdown

**Recommended Tests**:
```python
# tests/test_reliability.py (NEW FILE RECOMMENDED)

async def test_client_cleanup_on_exit():
    """REL-002: Verify client closes connections on context exit."""
    # Test __aexit__ closes client

async def test_timeout_raises_exception():
    """REL-001: Verify timeout raises exception instead of hanging."""
    # Test with 1ms timeout
```

### Testability Assessment

**Controllability**: ✅ Excellent - dependency injection via FastMCP Context
**Observability**: ⚠️ Gap - no structured logging configuration
**Debuggability**: ✅ Good - type hints, clear error messages

### Files Modified During Review

**No files modified** - this is a pre-implementation review. The gate file created:
- `docs/qa/gates/epic-001.story-001-project-setup.yml`

**Developer Action Required**: Incorporate feedback into implementation, then update story's File List section when code is written.

### Gate Status

**Gate**: 🔴 **FAIL** → `docs/qa/gates/epic-001.story-001-project-setup.yml`

**Quality Score**: **40/100** (below acceptable threshold of 70)

**Reason**: Critical security gap - token exposure risk score 9 (probability × impact). Missing P0 test coverage for token sanitization and pre-commit security hooks. Must address before proceeding to Story-002.

**Top Issues**:
1. 🔴 **SEC-001**: Token exposure in git commits - no automated prevention
2. 🔴 **SEC-002**: Token exposure in logs - no sanitization
3. 🔴 **TYPE-001**: FastMCP type support not verified (blocks strict mypy)
4. ⚠️ **ARCH-001**: Semaphore scope ambiguity (violates ADR-002)
5. ⚠️ **REL-001**: Missing connection pool timeout

### Recommended Status

**❌ Changes Required** - Address CRITICAL items in improvements checklist before implementation

**Next Steps**:
1. Review gate file: `docs/qa/gates/epic-001.story-001-project-setup.yml`
2. Address all CRITICAL items (SEC-001, SEC-002, TYPE-001, ARCH-001, REL-001)
3. Update story ACs to incorporate security requirements
4. Re-review after implementation (when status changes to "Review")
5. Story owner decides final status after addressing feedback

### Additional Notes

**Positive Aspects**:
- This story demonstrates excellent planning with comprehensive ACs
- ADR references show thoughtful architecture decisions
- Pre-commit hook strategy is solid (just needs security additions)
- Connection pooling design is optimal for performance

**Learning Opportunity**:
Token sanitization and pre-commit security hooks should become standard practice for all stories involving authentication or sensitive data. Consider adding to coding standards document (DOC-001).

**Risk Level**: This is a **CRITICAL PATH** story that blocks ALL other stories. Taking time to address security gaps now prevents propagation to Stories 2-9.

### Performance Considerations

**Status**: ✅ **EXCELLENT** - Optimized for production

**Findings**:
- ✅ Connection pooling reduces latency by 50-200ms per request
- ✅ Global semaphore prevents API overload (max 10 concurrent)
- ✅ Keep-alive connections configured (20 idle connections)
- ✅ Configurable timeouts prevent hanging (30s request, 10s pool acquisition)
- ✅ Pre-compiled regex patterns for fast token sanitization

**Load Testing Recommendation**: Consider adding performance benchmarks in Story-008 (observability).

### Reliability Considerations

**Status**: ✅ **EXCELLENT** - Production-ready reliability

**Findings**:
- ✅ Connection pool timeout prevents indefinite blocking (AC12)
