Active task: Restore green CI gate on main and address the 54 real backend test failures. See 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).
