# Story 011: Fix list_tests Status Filtering

## Status
Done

## Story

**As a** TestIO MCP user (AI agent or developer),
**I want** the `list_tests` tool to support all valid test statuses and have intuitive default behavior,
**so that** I can easily retrieve all tests or filter by any valid status without needing to know the complete list of statuses upfront.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **AC1: Complete Status Support**
   - The `statuses` parameter Literal type includes all 6 valid status values found in the TestIO Customer API
   - Valid statuses: `running`, `locked`, `archived`, `cancelled`, `customer_finalized`, `initialized`
   - The tool accepts any of these statuses without type errors or validation failures
   - Invalid/legacy status `review_successful` is removed from the Literal type

2. **AC2: Intuitive Default Behavior**
   - When `statuses=None` (default), the tool returns ALL tests regardless of status (no filtering)
   - When `statuses=[]` (empty list), the tool returns ALL tests (same as None)
   - When `statuses=["running"]`, only running tests are returned
   - Previous default behavior (`None` → `["running"]`) is removed as it was counterintuitive

3. **AC3: Clear Documentation**
   - Tool docstring clearly states: `None` or `[]` returns all tests (no filtering)
   - Common use case examples provided:
     - Active tests only: `statuses=["running"]`
     - Completed tests: `statuses=["archived", "locked", "customer_finalized"]`
     - All tests: `statuses=None` (default)
     - Exclude cancelled: `statuses=["running", "locked", "archived", "customer_finalized", "initialized"]`
   - Status meanings documented (what each status represents)

4. **AC4: Service Layer Implementation**
   - `ProductService.list_tests()` method updated to handle `statuses=None` correctly
   - When `statuses=None`, no status filtering is applied (return all tests)
   - When `statuses` is a list, filter tests by those specific statuses
   - Cache key handling: When `statuses=None`, use sentinel string `"all"` in cache key (e.g., `product:54:tests:all`)
   - Cache key for explicit statuses: `product:54:tests:archived:locked:running` (sorted)
   - Service layer changes are framework-agnostic (can be reused in REST API, CLI, etc.)

5. **AC5: Backward Compatibility & Migration**
   - Existing calls with explicit `statuses` parameter work unchanged
   - Breaking change documented: `statuses=None` behavior changed from `["running"]` to "all tests"
   - Migration guide provided for users who relied on default behavior
   - Version bump indicates breaking change (e.g., 0.3.0 → 0.4.0)

6. **AC6: Validation & Error Handling**
   - Invalid status values are rejected with clear error message at runtime (not just type hints)
   - Runtime validation occurs in `ProductService.list_tests()` before filtering
   - Error message lists all valid status values: `running, locked, archived, cancelled, customer_finalized, initialized`
   - Validation protects all entry points (MCP tool, future REST API, CLI, etc.)
   - Type hints enforce correct usage at development time (Literal for MCP tool)
   - Example error: `"Invalid status 'review_successful'. Valid statuses: running, locked, archived, cancelled, customer_finalized, initialized"`

7. **AC7: Testing Coverage**
   - Unit tests verify all 6 status values are accepted
   - Unit tests verify `None` and `[]` return all tests
   - Unit tests verify explicit status list filters correctly
   - Unit tests verify cache key generation for `None` (uses "all" sentinel)
   - Unit tests verify runtime validation rejects invalid statuses
   - Integration test validates behavior against live API (marked `@pytest.mark.integration`, requires `TESTIO_API_TOKEN`)
   - Integration tests are optional in CI (skipped if token not present)
   - Test data includes products with diverse status distributions

8. **AC8: Output Contract Clarity**
   - `statuses_filter` field in response clearly indicates applied filter
   - When `statuses=None`, `statuses_filter` returns all 6 valid statuses: `["running", "locked", "archived", "cancelled", "customer_finalized", "initialized"]`
   - When `statuses=[]`, same as `None` (returns all 6 statuses)
   - When `statuses=["running", "locked"]`, `statuses_filter` returns `["running", "locked"]` (exact match)
   - This makes the response self-documenting and testable

### Code Review Feedback (Codex)

**Critical Issues Identified:**

1. **Cache Key Type Error (CRITICAL):**
   - Current code: `cache_key = f"product:{product_id}:tests:{':'.join(sorted(statuses))}"`
   - Problem: When `statuses=None`, this raises `TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable`
   - Solution: Use sentinel string `"all"` when `statuses=None`
   - Implementation:
     ```python
     cache_suffix = "all" if statuses is None else ":".join(sorted(statuses))
     cache_key = f"product:{product_id}:tests:{cache_suffix}"
     ```

2. **Runtime Validation Missing (HIGH):**
   - Type hints only protect MCP tool, not service layer
   - Future REST API, CLI, or other callers can pass invalid statuses
   - Silent failure: invalid status returns empty results
   - Solution: Add explicit validator in `ProductService.list_tests()`
   - Raise descriptive error with list of valid statuses

3. **Output Contract Ambiguity (MEDIUM):**
   - `statuses_filter` field contract undefined for `None` case
   - Options: empty list, all 6 statuses, sentinel string "all"
   - Decision: Return all 6 valid statuses (most explicit for consumers)
   - Makes response self-documenting and deterministic

4. **Integration Test Brittleness (MEDIUM):**
   - Live API tests fail in CI without credentials
   - Network flakiness causes false failures
   - Solution: Mark tests with `@pytest.mark.integration`, skip if no token

### Current Implementation Issues

1. **Incomplete Literal Type** (line 83-84 in `list_tests_tool.py`):
   ```python
   # Current (incorrect):
   statuses: list[Literal["running", "locked", "review_successful", "archived", "cancelled"]]

   # Should be:
   statuses: list[Literal["running", "locked", "archived", "cancelled", "customer_finalized", "initialized"]]
   ```

2. **Misleading Default** (line 173 in `list_tests_tool.py`):
   ```python
   # Current:
   statuses_filter=statuses_list if statuses_list is not None else ["running"]

   # Should be:
   statuses_filter=statuses_list if statuses_list is not None else []  # or list all 6 statuses
   ```

3. **Service Layer Logic** (in `product_service.py`, starting at line 207):

**Add module-level constant:**
```python
# Valid test statuses from TestIO Customer API
VALID_STATUSES = ["running", "locked", "archived", "cancelled", "customer_finalized", "initialized"]
```

**Add validation helper:**
```python
def _validate_statuses(statuses: list[str]) -> None:
    """Validate that all provided statuses are valid.

    Args:
        statuses: List of status strings to validate

    Raises:
        ValueError: If any status is invalid
    """
    invalid = [s for s in statuses if s not in VALID_STATUSES]
    if invalid:
        raise ValueError(
            f"Invalid status values: {', '.join(invalid)}. "
            f"Valid statuses: {', '.join(VALID_STATUSES)}"
        )
```

**Update list_tests method:**
```python
async def list_tests(
    self,
    product_id: int,
    statuses: list[str] | None = None,
    include_bug_counts: bool = False,
) -> dict[str, Any]:
    # Validate statuses if provided
    if statuses is not None and len(statuses) > 0:
        self._validate_statuses(statuses)

    # Determine effective statuses for response
    effective_statuses = statuses if statuses else VALID_STATUSES

    # Build cache key with sentinel for "all"
    cache_suffix = "all" if statuses is None or len(statuses) == 0 else ":".join(sorted(statuses))
    cache_key = f"product:{product_id}:tests:{cache_suffix}"

    # Check cache...
    cached = await self.cache.get(cache_key)
    if cached is not None:
        return cast(dict[str, Any], cached)

    # Fetch from API...
    product_data, tests_data = await asyncio.gather(...)
    tests = tests_data.get("exploratory_tests", [])

    # Filter by statuses (or return all if None/empty)
    if statuses is None or len(statuses) == 0:
        filtered_tests = tests  # No filtering - return all
    else:
        filtered_tests = [t for t in tests if t.get("status") in statuses]

    # Build response with effective_statuses
    result = {
        "product": {...},
        "statuses": effective_statuses,  # Shows what filter was applied
        "tests": filtered_tests,
        ...
    }

    # Cache and return...
```

### Status Value Meanings

Based on API data analysis:

| Status | Meaning | Typical Count | Include in "Active"? |
|--------|---------|---------------|---------------------|
| `running` | Test currently active | ~5% | ✅ Yes |
| `locked` | Test locked/finalized | ~30% | ❌ No (finished) |
| `archived` | Test archived | ~48% | ❌ No (finished) |
| `customer_finalized` | Customer marked as final | ~9% | ❌ No (finished) |
| `initialized` | Test created but not started | ~7% | ⚠️ Maybe (pending) |
| `cancelled` | Test cancelled | ~1% | ❌ No (cancelled) |

**Legacy status removed:**
- `review_successful` - This concept exists in the API as `review_status` field (separate from test status), not as a test status value

### Breaking Change Migration

**Before (v0.3.x):**
```python
# Default behavior - returns only "running" tests
result = await list_tests(product_id=54)
# Equivalent to: statuses=["running"]
```

**After (v0.4.0):**
```python
# Default behavior - returns ALL tests
result = await list_tests(product_id=54)
# Equivalent to: statuses=None (no filtering)

# To get old behavior, explicitly specify:
result = await list_tests(product_id=54, statuses=["running"])
```

**Migration Steps for Users:**
1. Review all `list_tests` calls without explicit `statuses` parameter
2. If old "running only" behavior desired, add `statuses=["running"]`
3. Update prompts/documentation to reflect new default

### Testing

**Test Strategy:**
1. **Unit Tests** (service layer):
   - Test each status value individually
   - Test `None` returns all statuses
   - Test `[]` returns all statuses
   - Test multiple statuses filter correctly
   - Test invalid status raises error

2. **Integration Tests** (with live API):
   - Fetch tests for a product with diverse status distribution
   - Verify all 6 status values are honored
   - Verify counts match expected results

3. **E2E Tests** (MCP protocol):
   - Call tool via MCP inspector
   - Verify response format
   - Verify `statuses_filter` reflects applied filter

**Test Data:**
- Product 54 has good status distribution:
  - 70 total tests
  - 34 locked, 19 archived, 15 customer_finalized, 1 cancelled, 1 initialized
