# Journey Handler - Quick Reference

## Status Overview

| Category | Score | Notes |
|----------|-------|-------|
| Architecture | ✅ 85% | Excellent structure, clean separation of concerns |
| Implementation | ❌ 44% | 8 of 18 handler methods are unimplemented stubs |
| Repository Integration | ❌ 0% | No persistence layer; detector never initialized |
| Type Safety | ✅ 95% | Well-designed domain types and interfaces |
| Error Handling | ⚠️ 50% | Inconsistent; some validation, many silent failures |

**Overall:** 44% Functional - Non-Production Ready

## Critical Blockers (Must Fix First)

### 1. Detector Always Nil
- **File:** `backend/internal/journey/handler.go:23`
- **Problem:** Detector initialized to `nil` with no way to set it
- **Impact:** All detection endpoints return empty results
- **Fix:** Wire repositories in `NewHandler()` and create detector there
- **Effort:** 2-4 hours

### 2. Eight Handler Methods Are Stubs
- **Methods Affected:**
  - `ListJourneys()` (line 171)
  - `GetJourney()` (line 281)
  - `UpdateJourney()` (line 316)
  - `DeleteJourney()` (line 298)
  - `GetJourneySteps()` (line 342)
  - `AddJourneyStep()` (line 365)
  - `RemoveJourneyStep()` (line 396)
  - `ListProjectJourneys()` (line 593)

- **Problem:** Return hardcoded empty/404 responses
- **Impact:** CRUD operations don't work; create appears to succeed but doesn't persist
- **Fix:** Implement actual database operations using JourneyRepository
- **Effort:** 6-8 hours

### 3. No JourneyRepository
- **Problem:** No persistence layer defined for journeys
- **Impact:** Cannot save, retrieve, or update journeys in database
- **Missing:**
  - Repository interface definition
  - GORM implementation
  - Database schema (should already exist - verify)
- **Fix:** Create `backend/internal/repository/journey_repository.go`
- **Effort:** 4-6 hours

## What's Working Well

### Detector Architecture ✅
- `detector.go` properly implements detection orchestration
- Sub-detectors (UserFlow, DataFlow, CallChain) cleanly separated
- Parallel detection with sync.WaitGroup
- Caching with timeout mechanism
- Proper error collection and aggregation

### Routing ✅
- All 19 routes properly registered
- Project-scoped routes correctly organized
- Consistent path patterns
- Well-documented with Swagger comments

### Type Definitions ✅
- Comprehensive domain model (DerivedJourney, Metadata, etc.)
- Clear request/response types
- Proper use of pointers and value types
- Well-documented struct fields

### Scoring System ✅
- `scorer.go` properly weights multiple factors
- Frequency, importance, completeness, uniqueness, recency scoring
- Proper normalization to 0-1 range

## Quick Implementation Checklist

### Phase 1: Wire Detector (Priority: CRITICAL)
- [ ] Add `ItemRepository` parameter to `NewHandler()`
- [ ] Add `LinkRepository` parameter to `NewHandler()`
- [ ] Add `DetectionConfig` parameter to `NewHandler()`
- [ ] Create detector in `NewHandler()`: `NewJourneyDetector(itemRepo, linkRepo, config)`
- [ ] Update server.go to pass repositories to `NewHandler()`

### Phase 2: Create Persistence Layer (Priority: CRITICAL)
- [ ] Define `JourneyRepository` interface with:
  - `Create(ctx, journey) error`
  - `GetByID(ctx, id) (*DerivedJourney, error)`
  - `GetByProjectID(ctx, projectID) ([]*DerivedJourney, error)`
  - `GetByType(ctx, projectID, type) ([]*DerivedJourney, error)`
  - `Update(ctx, journey) error`
  - `Delete(ctx, id) error`
  - `List(ctx, filter) ([]*DerivedJourney, error)`
  - `Count(ctx, projectID) (int64, error)`
- [ ] Implement with GORM (matching existing repository pattern)
- [ ] Add `journeyRepo` field to Handler
- [ ] Pass repository to handler constructor

### Phase 3: Implement CRUD Methods (Priority: HIGH)
- [ ] `ListJourneys()` - Query with filters, pagination
- [ ] `ListProjectJourneys()` - Filter by project
- [ ] `GetJourney()` - Fetch single by ID
- [ ] `CreateProjectJourney()` - Insert and persist
- [ ] `UpdateJourney()` - Apply changes and save
- [ ] `DeleteJourney()` - Soft or hard delete
- [ ] `GetJourneySteps()` - Return ordered steps
- [ ] `AddJourneyStep()` / `RemoveJourneyStep()` - Manage steps

### Phase 4: Improve Error Handling (Priority: MEDIUM)
- [ ] Validate all query parameters with proper parsing
- [ ] Check binding errors instead of ignoring them
- [ ] Add input validation function for requests
- [ ] Use consistent error response structure
- [ ] Add debug logging for errors

### Phase 5: Add Validation (Priority: MEDIUM)
- [ ] Validate project IDs exist
- [ ] Validate journey types against enum
- [ ] Validate scores in range [0, 1]
- [ ] Validate item IDs exist
- [ ] Check required fields in requests

## Files to Create/Modify

### To Create
- [ ] `backend/internal/repository/journey_repository.go` - Interface and GORM impl
- [ ] `backend/internal/repository/journey_repository_test.go` - Unit tests

### To Modify
- [ ] `backend/internal/journey/handler.go` - Wire dependencies, implement stubs
- [ ] `backend/internal/server/server.go` - Pass repositories to handler
- [ ] Database schema (verify journeys table exists)

### To Review
- [ ] `backend/internal/journey/detector.go` - Already good, no changes needed
- [ ] `backend/internal/journey/types.go` - Already good, no changes needed
- [ ] `backend/internal/journey/scorer.go` - Already good, no changes needed

## Testing Gaps

### Unit Tests Needed
- [ ] Handler initialization with repositories
- [ ] Each CRUD operation
- [ ] Error handling for missing resources
- [ ] Pagination logic
- [ ] Filter application

### Integration Tests Needed
- [ ] End-to-end detection workflow
- [ ] Create → List → Get → Update → Delete flow
- [ ] Concurrent detection with cache
- [ ] Database persistence verification

### E2E Tests Needed
- [ ] Full journey detection workflow
- [ ] Multi-project journey isolation
- [ ] Sub-detector output aggregation

## Related Issues

- **No Journey Persistence:** Journeys detected but never saved
- **No Steps Management:** Steps can be added via API but not implemented
- **No Visualization:** GetJourneyVisualization returns 404
- **No Filtering:** Filter types defined but not used
- **No Grouping:** GroupSimilar config option not used
- **No Audit Trail:** No versioning or change tracking

## Next Steps

1. **Immediate:** Create JourneyRepository interface and basic GORM implementation
2. **This Sprint:** Wire detector and implement CRUD methods
3. **Next Sprint:** Add validation, error handling, and tests
4. **Future:** Add steps management, visualization, filtering
