# HANDOFF.md **Last updated:** 2026-04-25 (America/New_York) **Active task:** Restore green CI gate on `main` and address the 54 real backend test failures. See [CURRENT_TASK.md](CURRENT_TASK.md). **Branch:** `fix/ci-workflow-config` — a small workflow-only PR (#150) that should turn CI green on the next run. After #150 merges, follow-up work is on a fresh branch off main. ## Where the previous session left off FlowPilot Phase 1-9 (PR #147) and PSA ticket management (PR #141) are both on main. Two CI-recovery PRs (#148 and #149) followed, fixing 4 real bugs and bringing the backend test suite from `482 passed / 488 errors / 44 failed` → `1018 passed / 4 errors / 54 failed`. CI on main still showed red after #149 because of two workflow-config issues unmasked once the code-side rot was cleared. PR #150 fixes both. ## Currently open - **PR #150** — `fix/ci-workflow-config` → main. Mergeable. Two changes: 1. Add `DATABASE_TEST_URL` env to the backend job. `conftest.py` reads `DATABASE_TEST_URL` only — `DATABASE_URL` is intentionally not consulted (see `dab740d`'s safety hardening). Without this env, conftest falls back to its `localhost:5432` default and every fixture-setup fails with `Connect call failed ('127.0.0.1', 5432)` — observed as 638 errors on the `f27f671` run. 2. Pin `actions/upload-artifact` + `actions/download-artifact` to `v3`. Gitea Actions doesn't support v4+ (`GHESNotSupportedError`). Lint itself passes already after #149; the job exited 1 only on the upload step. ## Immediate next steps 1. Watch PR #150's CI run on its head sha. Both `CI / backend (pull_request)` and `CI / frontend (pull_request)` should now succeed. If they do, merge it. 2. After #150 merges, add `CI / backend (pull_request)` to required status checks on main: ``` PATCH /repos/chihlasm/resolutionflow/branch_protections/main { "status_check_contexts": ["CI / frontend (pull_request)", "CI / backend (pull_request)"] } ``` ($GITEA_TOKEN is in `.claude/settings.local.json`.) 3. Start on the 54 real backend test failures. Suggested approach: read 3-5 failing tests, find the dominant root cause (likely fixture-scoping or DB-cleanup leak — one sample seen this session was `test_psa_writeback_phase4` failing with `duplicate key value violates unique constraint "ix_users_email"`, which points at the `test_user` fixture being called twice in a test path). Fix categories in atomic commits. ## Uncommitted state Working tree clean (after this handoff commit). ## Branch protection on main Enabled in this session: - PR-only merges - `CI / frontend (pull_request)` required - Force-push blocked - No review required (solo repo) ## Recently merged on main (in order) - `f27f671` — PR #149: fix(ci): frontend lint to zero errors + test-DB schema fix + dev-deps installable - `06593a4` — PR #148: fix(tests): repair two pre-existing bugs blocking backend CI - `32fae2c` — PR #147: feat: FlowPilot migration — Phase 1-9 + Phase 9 bug fixes + QA fixture harness - `16060d2` — PR #141: feat: PSA ticket management — /tickets page, detail panel, AI ticket creation ## Open questions - The 54 real backend failures haven't been root-caused yet. One sample (the unique-email violation) suggests a test-fixture leak. Need to read more failing tests before writing the cleanup PR — don't assume one root cause. ## Useful breadcrumbs - `backend/scripts/seed_phase9_qa_fixtures.py` (new) pre-bakes 4 ai_sessions × 4 suggested_fixes covering the four backend states the AI orchestrator must produce. Use it for any future Phase 9 QA pass instead of hoping the AI emits a `SUGGEST_FIX`. - `.gstack/qa-reports/phase9-20260424-232700/REPORT.md` — full QA report from this session, with screenshots showing the four Phase 9 layout/state bugs that were fixed. - `gstack` is now in team mode for this repo (`.claude/settings.json` + `.claude/hooks/check-gstack.sh`); the `/browse` Chromium needs `CONTAINER=1` env var to add `--no-sandbox` (see `~/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/src/browser-manager.ts:188`).
