## 🔄 PHASE 1: FIX 67 FAILING TESTS - IN PROGRESS

**Current Status**: 35+ failures fixed, 32 remaining to address

### Failing Tests Breakdown (67 total)

#### Category 1: CLI Command Tests (20 failures)
**Status**: ~50% Fixed

**Root Causes**:
1. **Mock import path errors** (8-10 failures)
   - Issue: Incorrect patching of `tracertm.database.connection.DatabaseConnection`
   - Root cause: Class moved or renamed in source code
   - Solution: Verify actual class location and update patch paths

2. **Configuration object type mismatches** (8 failures)
   - Issue: Tests expect Mock objects, receiving dicts
   - Root cause: Mock configuration returning wrong type
   - Solution: Update mocks to return proper Mock objects with configured methods

3. **Async context manager handling** (2-3 failures)
   - Issue: Async operations not properly awaited
   - Solution: Add proper async/await handling

**Specific Tests Failing**:
```
tests/cli/test_performance.py::test_command_registration_lazy - FAILED
tests/e2e/test_cli_journeys.py::TestNewUserJourney::test_new_user_onboarding - FAILED

   - Issue: Database tables not created for test
   - Cause: Missing database migration in fixtures
   - Solution: Add proper database setup in fixtures

2. **Query command implementation** (6 failures)
   - Tests: All test_query_* tests in test_epic3_query_command.py
   - Issue: Exit code 2 (command argument errors)
   - Cause: Query command may not be fully implemented or has wrong signature
   - Solution: Verify command implementation

3. **Export functionality** (4 failures)
   - Tests: test_export_yaml_format, test_export_yaml_to_file

├── Cause: Mock patch path wrong
└── Solution: Correct the patch path
```

#### Category 4: File System Tests (6 failures)
**Status**: ~90% Fixed (most file watcher tests passing)

**Remaining Issues**:
- Some concurrent write conflicts need transaction isolation
- Config directory creation conflicts in temp directories

## 🎯 IMMEDIATE NEXT STEPS

### Step 1: Fix Phase 1 Failures Systematically (2-3 hours)

**Priority 1: Database Fixture Setup** (highest impact - 20+ tests)
```python
# Needed in conftest.py or integration test fixtures:
@pytest.fixture
async def db_with_migrations():
    """Database session with all migrations applied"""
    # Create temp database
    # Run all migrations
    # Return session
    # Cleanup after test
```

**Priority 2: Query Command Implementation** (6 tests)
- Verify `tracertm query` command exists
- Check command signature matches test expectations
- Add proper argument parsing

**Priority 3: Mock Path Corrections** (2-4 tests)
- Update E2E test mock patch for DatabaseConnection
- Verify correct import paths
- Test with actual source code structure

**Priority 4: Rate Limit Testing** (1-2 tests)
- Mock `time.sleep()` instead of real delays
- Add proper async/await handling for retry logic

### Step 2: Run Validation (30 minutes)
```bash
# After Phase 1 fixes:
pytest tests/cli tests/integration tests/api tests/e2e -q --tb=no
# Target: 0 failures, all 1,651+ tests passing
```

### Step 3: Run Coverage Analysis (15 minutes)
```bash
pytest tests/ --cov=src/tracertm --cov-report=term-missing
# Target: Coverage should be 50-60% now (up from 36.27%)
```
