Server-assigns a uuid4 id to every AI-generated node (Finding 1 showstopper:
nodes had no id but the advance protocol keys on node_id, so ai_build walks
never advanced past question 1). Replaces the hidden {"node_type":"meta"}
walked_path convention with real category/problem_text/pending_node columns on
l1_walk_sessions (migration 61dda4f615c6) — fixes junk proposals + off-by-one
depth cap (Findings 8,9), and pending_node replays the served node on re-mount
(no duplicate paid LLM call). Intake honors explicit flow_id and adhoc=True
(Findings 4,5); flow_proposals.l1_session_id FK -> CASCADE (Finding 6 time
bomb); L1 category GET is owner+admin like PATCH and require_account_owner_or_admin
delegates to User.can_manage_account (Finding 7); escalate falls back to default
recipients + filters deleted_at + warns when empty (Finding 10). Cleanups: dead
ticket_ref removed, IntakeResponse per-outcome validator, unused acknowledged
dropped, escalations partial index, restored a deleted audit assertion.

Troubleshooting Decision Tree - Backend API
FastAPI backend for the Troubleshooting Decision Tree application.
Quick Start
1. Set up Python environment
cd backend
python -m venv venv
# Windows
venv\Scripts\activate
# macOS/Linux
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Start PostgreSQL database
Using Docker:
docker-compose up -d
Or install PostgreSQL locally and create a database:
CREATE DATABASE decision_tree;
3. Configure environment
Copy the example env file and update as needed:
cp .env.example .env
4. Run database migrations
alembic upgrade head
5. Start the server
uvicorn app.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
The API will be available at:
- API: http://localhost:8000
- Docs: http://localhost:8000/api/docs
- ReDoc: http://localhost:8000/api/redoc
