# Backend Go Quality Audit Report
**Date:** 2026-02-06
**Audit Type:** Comprehensive Coverage & Test Pyramid Analysis
**Current Status:** 27.6% coverage (FAR BELOW 85% target)
**Test Suite:** 3,271 test functions across 280 test files

---

## Executive Summary

The backend Go codebase has **critically low coverage at 27.6%**, requiring immediate remediation. Five major areas require urgent attention:

1. **Services package** - Build failure (blocks all integration testing)
2. **Search package** - Panicking tests (data mock corruption)
3. **Agents subsystem** - Zero coverage across coordinator/coordination (80 critical functions)
4. **Embeddings module** - 79.4% (12-15 tests needed)
5. **Test pyramid** - Severely skewed toward unit tests (96.2% vs target 70%)

**Recommendation:** Execute 5-phase remediation with 4 parallel agent teams.

### Gap Analysis

- **Missing:** ~535 integration tests
- **Missing:** ~327 E2E tests
- **Excess:** ~862 redundant unit tests (consolidation)

---

## Critical Issues

### Issue #1: Services Package Build Failure

**Location:** `internal/services/*`
**Impact:** Cannot run integration tests, coverage uncomputable
**Error:** Build failed during test run
**Action:** Investigate and fix compilation errors first

```go
// Services build failed - exact error needs investigation
// Likely: missing import, interface mismatch, or syntax error
```

### Issue #2: Search Package Panic

**Location:** `internal/search/cross_perspective_search_test.go:312`
**Impact:** Test suite terminates, 50+ related tests blocked
**Error:** Index out of range panic

```
panic: runtime error: index out of range [0] with length 0 [recovered, repanicked]
  testing.tRunner.func1.2()
    /opt/homebrew/Cellar/go/1.25.6/libexec/src/testing/testing.go:1872
  cross_perspective_search_test.go:312
```

**Root Cause:** Likely test data mock returning empty slice when test expects populated results.
**Fix:** Verify TestSearchResultsAccuracy mock setup or use factory fixture.

### Issue #3: Storybook Error Message Mismatch

**Location:** `internal/storybook/client_test.go:52`
**Impact:** One test failure, blocks test run completion
**Error:** Expected message differs from actual

```
Expected: "Storybook base URL is required"
Actual:   "storybook base URL is required"
```

**Fix:** Update expected message in test assertion (capitalize "Storybook").
