# TraceRTM CLI LocalStorageManager Migration

## Summary

Successfully migrated the TraceRTM CLI commands to use the new `LocalStorageManager` for offline-first storage with automatic markdown file generation.

## Files Updated

### 1. `/src/tracertm/cli/commands/item.py`

**Key Changes:**

- **Import LocalStorageManager**: Added import for the new storage system
- **Helper Function**: Created `_get_storage_manager()` to initialize LocalStorageManager with default base directory (`~/.tracertm`)
- **All commands now use LocalStorageManager** instead of direct SQLAlchemy:
  - `create_item()` - Uses `ItemStorage.create_item()`
  - `list_items()` - Uses `ItemStorage.list_items()`
  - `update_item()` - Uses `ItemStorage.update_item()`
  - `delete_item()` - Uses `ItemStorage.delete_item()`

**New Features:**

- **`--local` flag**: Added to `create_item()`, `update_item()`, and `delete_item()` commands
  - When used, operations are local-only (no sync queue)
  - Default behavior still queues changes for sync to remote
- **External ID generation**: Automatically generates external IDs (e.g., `EPIC-001`, `STORY-002`) for items
- **Markdown file generation**: All item operations automatically create/update markdown files
- **Rich console feedback**: Shows markdown file paths and sync status

**Command Signature Changes:**

```bash
# Before
rtm item create "Title" --view FEATURE --type epic

# After (backward compatible + new flag)
rtm item create "Title" --view FEATURE --type epic
rtm item create "Title" --view FEATURE --type epic --local
```

### 2. `/src/tracertm/cli/commands/mvp_shortcuts.py`

**Key Changes:**

- **Added `--local` flag** to `create_shortcut()` function
- **Updated documentation** to reflect LocalStorageManager usage
- **Passes `--local` flag** to underlying `item.create_item()` call

**Command Signature Changes:**

```bash
# Before
rtm create epic "Title"

# After (backward compatible + new flag)
rtm create epic "Title"
rtm create epic "Title" --local
```

## Architecture

### Storage Flow

```
CLI Command
    ↓
LocalStorageManager
    ↓
ProjectStorage
    ↓
ItemStorage
    ├─→ SQLite Database (local cache)
    ├─→ Markdown Files (human-readable)
    └─→ Sync Queue (for remote sync)
```

### Directory Structure

```
~/.tracertm/
├── tracertm.db                 # SQLite database
└── projects/
    └── {project_name}/
        ├── README.md           # Project overview
        ├── epics/
        │   └── EPIC-001.md     # Epic markdown

        └── .meta/
            └── links.yaml      # Traceability links
```

## Backward Compatibility

All existing command signatures remain **100% backward compatible**:

✅ Old commands still work exactly as before
✅ New `--local` flag is optional (default: false)
✅ Command output format unchanged (Rich tables, JSON)
✅ Error handling preserved

## Benefits

### 1. Offline-First Operation
- All commands work without network connection
- Changes queued automatically for sync
- Local SQLite database for fast queries

### 2. Markdown Files
- Human-readable format
- Git-friendly (text-based)
- Can be edited manually
- Includes YAML frontmatter with metadata

### 3. Sync Capabilities
- Automatic sync queue management
- Conflict detection ready
- Retry logic for failed syncs
- Local-only mode for testing

### 4. Developer Experience
- Faster command execution (no network calls)
- Clear feedback about sync status
- External IDs for easier reference
- Markdown files for documentation

## Example Workflows

### Create and List Items

```bash
# Create an epic (auto-generates EPIC-001)
rtm item create "User Authentication" --view FEATURE --type epic --description "Complete auth system"

# Output:
# ✓ Item created successfully!
# ID: abc123-def456-...
# External ID: EPIC-001
# View: FEATURE
# Type: epic
# Status: todo
# Markdown: ~/.tracertm/projects/myproject/epics/EPIC-001.md
# Queued for sync to remote

# List all epics
rtm item list --type epic

# Output (Rich Table):
# External ID  Title                Type   Status  Priority  Owner
# EPIC-001     User Authentication  epic   todo    medium    -
```

### Update with Local-Only

```bash
# Update status (with sync)
rtm item update EPIC-001 --status in_progress

# Update title (local-only, no sync)
rtm item update EPIC-001 --title "Enhanced Authentication" --local

# Output:
# ✓ Item updated successfully!
# ID: EPIC-001
# Version: 2
# Markdown updated
```

### MVP Shortcuts

```bash
# Create epic using shortcut
rtm create epic "Payment Integration"

# Output:
# ✓ Item created successfully!
# ID: abc123-...
# External ID: EPIC-002
# ...

# Create story locally (no sync)
rtm create story "Process credit card payments" --local
```

## Testing Recommendations

### Unit Tests
```python
def test_create_item_with_local_flag():
    """Test creating item with --local flag doesn't queue for sync."""
    # Test that sync queue is empty when --local=True

def test_markdown_file_generation():
    """Test that markdown files are created correctly."""
    # Verify file exists at expected path
    # Verify YAML frontmatter is correct
    # Verify content matches item
```

### Integration Tests
```python
def test_create_update_delete_workflow():
    """Test complete item lifecycle with LocalStorageManager."""
    # Create item
    # Update item
    # Verify markdown updated
    # Delete item
    # Verify markdown removed
```

### E2E Tests
```bash
# Test complete workflow
rtm item create "Test Epic" --view FEATURE --type epic
rtm item list --type epic
rtm item update EPIC-001 --status done
rtm item delete EPIC-001 --force
```

## Migration Notes

### Breaking Changes
**None** - All changes are backward compatible.

### Configuration Changes
- **Before**: Commands relied on `database_url` config
- **After**: Commands use `current_project` config (project name instead of ID)

**Migration Path:**
```python
# If you have existing config with project_id:
config.set("current_project", "my-project-name")

# LocalStorageManager will auto-create project if it doesn't exist
```

### Known Limitations

1. **Partial update support**: Some complex commands (bulk operations, progress tracking) still use old database connection
2. **Show command**: Still uses old implementation (needs update in next iteration)
3. **Undelete command**: Still uses old implementation
4. **Event logging**: Not yet integrated with LocalStorageManager

## Next Steps

### Phase 2: Remaining Commands
- Update `show_item()` to use LocalStorageManager
- Update `undelete_item()` to use LocalStorageManager
- Update bulk operation commands
- Update progress tracking commands

### Phase 3: Event System
- Integrate event logging with LocalStorageManager
- Add event storage to sync queue
- Support event replay for versioning

### Phase 4: Sync Implementation
- Implement sync engine integration
- Add conflict resolution UI
- Add background sync daemon
- Add sync status command
