---

### 5. StepDefinition
Gherkin step implementations and pattern matching.

**Key Fields:**
- `step_type` - given, when, then, and, but
- `pattern` - Step text pattern
- `regex_pattern` - Regex for matching

## Enterprise Features

Every model includes:

✓ **Timestamps**
- `created_at` - Auto-populated when created
- `updated_at` - Auto-updated on any change

✓ **Optimistic Locking**
- `version` field prevents concurrent update conflicts
- Raises exception if someone else modified record

✓ **Soft Delete**
- `deleted_at` field - Records marked but not removed
- All queries should filter `deleted_at IS NULL`
- Allows recovery and audit trails

✓ **Flexible Metadata**
- `{model}_metadata` JSON field
- Access via `.metadata` property (alias)
- Extensibility without schema changes

✓ **UUID Primary Keys**
- Auto-generated with `generate_specification_uuid()`
- Unique across all instances

✓ **Foreign Key Constraints**
- CASCADE delete for data integrity
- Deleting parent deletes all children

✓ **Strategic Indexing**
- 19 total indexes across all models
- Optimized for common queries
- Composite indexes for multi-field filters

## Database Tables

```sql
CREATE TABLE adrs (
  id STRING PRIMARY KEY,
  adr_number STRING NOT NULL,
  project_id STRING NOT NULL REFERENCES projects(id),
  title STRING NOT NULL,
  status STRING DEFAULT 'proposed',
  context TEXT,
  decision TEXT,
  -- ... more fields
  created_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
  updated_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
  version INTEGER DEFAULT 1,
  deleted_at TIMESTAMP,
);
CREATE INDEX idx_adrs_project_status ON adrs(project_id, status);

CREATE TABLE contracts (
  -- Similar structure to ADR
  -- ... fields ...
);

CREATE TABLE features (
  -- Similar structure
  -- ... fields ...
);

CREATE TABLE scenarios (
  -- Similar structure
  -- ... fields ...
);

CREATE TABLE step_definitions (
  -- Standalone, not tied to project
  -- ... fields ...
);

CREATE TABLE scenario_test_case_association (
  scenario_id STRING REFERENCES scenarios(id),
  test_case_id STRING REFERENCES test_cases(id),
  PRIMARY KEY (scenario_id, test_case_id)
);
```

## Quick Usage Examples

### Create an ADR
```python
from tracertm.models.specification import ADR, ADRStatus

adr = ADR(
    adr_number="ADR-001",
    project_id="proj-123",
    title="Use microservices",
    status=ADRStatus.ACCEPTED.value,
    context="System needs scaling",
    decision="Adopt microservices pattern",
    consequences="More operational complexity",
)
db.session.add(adr)
db.session.commit()
```

### Create a Feature with Scenario
```python
from tracertm.models.specification import Feature, Scenario, FeatureStatus

feature = Feature(
    feature_number="FEAT-001",
    project_id="proj-123",
    name="User Authentication",
    as_a="user",
    i_want="log in securely",
    so_that="I can access my account",
)

scenario = Scenario(
    scenario_number="SCEN-001",
    feature_id=feature.id,
    title="Login with valid credentials",
    given_steps=["I am on login page"],
    when_steps=["I enter valid email", "I enter password", "I click login"],
    then_steps=["I see dashboard"],
)

db.session.add(feature)
db.session.add(scenario)
db.session.commit()
```

### Query Examples
```python
from tracertm.models.specification import ADR, ADRStatus, Feature, Scenario

# Find accepted ADRs
adrs = db.session.query(ADR).filter(
    ADR.project_id == "proj-123",
    ADR.status == ADRStatus.ACCEPTED.value,
    ADR.deleted_at.is_(None)
).all()

# Get feature with all scenarios
feature = db.session.query(Feature).filter_by(
    feature_number="FEAT-001"
).first()
print(f"{feature.name} has {len(feature.scenarios)} scenarios")

# Find scenarios for a feature
scenarios = db.session.query(Scenario).filter(
    Scenario.feature_id == feature.id,
    Scenario.deleted_at.is_(None)
).all()
```
