**Full summary:**

```
lifeLevel is a skill tracking web application that allows users to log activities, earn experience points (XP), and track their progress across different skill branches. The system uses a Flask backend with SQLite database and a React/TypeScript frontend. Users can view activities organized by skill branches and levels, log completed activities to earn XP, and visualize their progress through graphs and breakdowns. The backend provides RESTful API endpoints for activities, log entries, and progress data, while the frontend handles all UI interactions and data fetching. The application includes CLI commands for database initialization, seeding, and backup management. Testing is implemented using pytest with fixtures for in-memory database testing.

### The Silent Dependencies
**Difficulty:** quick

*The night was dark, and the codebase was full of secrets. You needed to know what forces were pulling the strings behind the scenes. The requirements files held the answers, but they were written in a language you didn't speak yet.*

Investigate the requirements files to understand what external libraries power the application.

**Files to investigate:**
- `backend/requirements.txt` — Contains production dependencies for the Flask backend including Flask, Flask-CORS, and other core libraries.
- `backend/requirements-dev.txt` — Contains development dependencies including pytest, black, and other tools used during development and testing.

**Completion:** Identify all external libraries listed in requirements.txt and requirements-dev.txt, and explain the difference between production and development dependencies.

*You've uncovered the library lineup. Production dependencies for the core app, development dependencies for testing and debugging. The foundation was clear, and you could finally see the structure beneath the surface.*

### Backend Imports Investigation
**Difficulty:** medium

*The backend was a maze of imports, each one pulling in a piece of the puzzle. You needed to see how these libraries were actually being used, not just listed. The import statements were the breadcrumbs leading deeper into the mystery.*

Follow the trail of backend imports to understand how external libraries are being used in the Flask application.

**Files to investigate:**
- `backend/app/__init__.py` — Flask application factory that imports and initializes core dependencies like Flask, CORS, and database connection.
- `backend/features/progress/routes.py` — Progress API endpoints that import and use Flask dependencies to handle HTTP requests and responses.

**Completion:** Identify the top 5 most frequently imported backend dependencies and explain their purpose in the codebase.

*You've traced the import paths and understood how each library contributes to the application's functionality. The backend's dependencies were no longer shadows—they were tools in your hands, ready to be used.*

### Frontend Dependency Trail
**Difficulty:** medium

*The frontend was a different world, built on React and TypeScript. You needed to understand how the pieces fit together—the shared utilities, the components, the constants. The import statements were the threads connecting everything.*

Investigate how frontend dependencies like React, shared utilities, and UI components are imported and used.

**Files to investigate:**
- `frontend/src/features/progress/components/CompactProgressBar.tsx` — Progress visualization component that imports shared utilities, constants, and UI components.
- `frontend/src/shared/utils.ts` — Shared utility functions that are imported across multiple frontend components and features.

**Completion:** Identify the key frontend dependencies used across the application and explain how shared utilities and components are imported.

*You've mapped the frontend dependency landscape. From React to shared utilities, from branch colors to error states, you understood how the pieces worked together to create the user experience. The frontend was no longer a mystery.*

### Testing Dependencies Mystery
**Difficulty:** medium

*The codebase had a hidden layer—tests. You needed to know what tools were used to verify every line of code. The testing dependencies were the weapons in the developer's arsenal, and you needed to understand them to see how the system was validated.*

Uncover the testing dependencies used in the project and understand how they're configured for pytest.

**Files to investigate:**
- `backend/requirements-dev.txt` — Contains testing dependencies including pytest and other tools used for development and testing.
- `backend/tests/__init__.py` — Test module that uses pytest fixtures for in-memory database testing and other testing utilities.

**Completion:** Identify all testing-related dependencies in requirements-dev.txt and explain how pytest is configured for database testing.

*You've uncovered the testing setup. Pytest fixtures, in-memory database testing, and all the tools that ensure the codebase stays solid. The tests were no longer a mystery—they were a testament to quality.*

### The Dependency Chain
**Difficulty:** deep_dive
**Prerequisites:** The Silent Dependencies, Backend Imports Investigation

*The pieces were scattered across the codebase, but you needed to see how they connected. A single dependency could be used in dozens of places, and understanding that web was crucial to seeing the big picture. You needed to follow the thread until it ran out.*

Follow a specific dependency from its declaration in requirements files to its actual usage in the codebase.

**Files to investigate:**
- `backend/requirements.txt` — Contains the declaration of the dependency you'll be tracing.
- `backend/app/__init__.py` — First import of the dependency in the application factory.
- `backend/features/progress/routes.py` — Actual usage of the dependency in progress API endpoints.

**Completion:** Select one external dependency and trace its complete usage path from requirements files through imports to actual implementation.

*You've traced the dependency's journey from declaration to implementation. Every import, every usage, every function call—it was all connected, and you understood the flow. The codebase was no longer a collection of files; it was a living, breathing system.*

### The Monster in the Test Chamber
**Difficulty:** medium

*The files whispered secrets in the dark. test_log_queries.py stood like a monolith, 390 lines of test cases guarding the query logic. Something wasn't right about this structure.*

Uncover the complexity lurking in test_log_queries.py, a 390-line behemoth with complexity score of 68. Analyze why this test file has grown so large and what it reveals about the underlying query logic.

**Files to investigate:**
- `backend/tests/test_log_queries.py:1-390` — Massive test file with 390 lines and complexity score of 68. Contains 19 definitions testing log query functionality.

**Completion:** Identify at least 3 distinct test functions that test the same query logic and explain why they exist separately.

*The case was cracked. The test file was bloated with redundant coverage, testing the same queries in different scenarios. The codebase was crying out for consolidation.*

### The Query That Never Sleeps
**Difficulty:** medium

*The query module was a labyrinth. 474 lines of database operations, each one a step deeper into the rabbit hole. Something had to give.*

Follow the data trail through logs/queries.py, a 474-line query module that handles log entries, XP calculations, and user activity history. Understand why this file has grown so large and what it reveals about the application's data access layer.

**Files to investigate:**
- `backend/features/logs/queries.py:1-474` — Massive query module with 474 lines and 22 definitions. Handles log entry creation, XP totals, and user activity history.

**Completion:** Identify at least 5 distinct query functions and explain how they might be refactored into smaller, more focused modules.

*The investigation revealed a tangled web of responsibilities. The query module was doing too much—logging, XP calculation, history management. It needed to be cut down to size.*

### The Fixture That Never Ends
**Difficulty:** quick

*The test setup was a tangled mess. conftest.py stretched for 381 lines, a graveyard of fixtures that should have been scattered across the codebase.*

Dive into conftest.py, a 381-line test configuration file with 12 definitions. Understand how test fixtures are structured and why this file has grown so large.

**Files to investigate:**
- `backend/tests/conftest.py:1-381` — Massive test configuration file with 381 lines and 12 definitions. Contains shared fixtures for testing the entire application.

**Completion:** List all fixtures defined in conftest.py and identify which ones are shared across multiple test files.

*The pieces fell into place. The fixtures were scattered, duplicated, and hard to maintain. A proper test configuration would bring order to the chaos.*

### The Seed That Won't Grow
**Difficulty:** quick

*The database needed life, and seed.py was supposed to provide it. But 305 lines of seeding logic? That was more than just data—it was a tangled mess of initialization.*

Trace the data seeding process through seed.py, a 305-line file with complexity score of 33. Understand how the database is populated and why this file has grown so large.

**Files to investigate:**
- `backend/seed.py:1-305` — Massive data seeding file with 305 lines and complexity score of 33. Handles database initialization and population.

**Completion:** Identify the main functions in seed.py and explain what data they populate in the database.

*The investigation revealed a bloated seeding process. The file was doing too much, mixing database setup with data population. A cleaner approach would make the database initialization more maintainable.*

### The Test Case That Never Ends
**Difficulty:** medium
**Prerequisites:** The Monster in the Test Chamber

*The test suite was a fortress. test_activities_queries.py stood tall at 322 lines, complexity score of 73. Every query was tested, but the tests were bloated and redundant.*

Uncover the complexity in test_activities_queries.py, a 322-line test file with complexity score of 73. Analyze why this test file has grown so large and what it reveals about the query testing strategy.

**Files to investigate:**
- `backend/tests/test_activities_queries.py:1-322` — Massive test file with 322 lines and complexity score of 73. Contains 26 definitions testing activity query functionality.

**Completion:** Identify at least 3 test cases that test the same query function and explain why they exist separately.

*The investigation revealed a pattern of over-testing. The same queries were tested in multiple scenarios, creating unnecessary complexity. A more focused test strategy would improve maintainability.*

### The Calculator That Never Stops
**Difficulty:** medium
**Prerequisites:** The Monster in the Test Chamber

*The level calculator was a beast. test_level_calculator.py stretched for 376 lines, 27 definitions guarding the XP calculation logic. Something wasn't right about this structure.*

Dive into test_level_calculator.py, a 376-line test file with 27 definitions and complexity score of 25. Understand the test structure and why this file has grown so large.
