Refactoring Triggers

Database Layer

Current Pattern: AsyncSessionFactory

The database layer uses PostgreSQL with SQLAlchemy 2.0+ async patterns.

# Current pattern in ALL services
from services.infrastructure.database import AsyncSessionFactory

async def get_data():
    async with AsyncSessionFactory() as session:
        result = await session.execute(query)
        return result.scalars().all()

Migration History

Connection Management

Common Patterns

# Query pattern
async with AsyncSessionFactory() as session:
    stmt = select(Model).where(Model.field == value)
    result = await session.execute(stmt)

# Insert pattern
async with AsyncSessionFactory() as session:
    session.add(new_object)
    await session.commit()

Web Layer

Current Pattern: Single app.py

The web layer uses a single FastAPI file (MVP pattern) with embedded HTML.

File: web/app.py (~750 lines as of Sept 2025)

Common Issues

MCP Integration Layer

Overview

Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration enables tool federation and spatial intelligence.

Architecture Pattern

# MCP Consumer pattern
from services.infrastructure.mcp_consumer import MCPConsumerCore

async def fetch_github_issues():
    consumer = MCPConsumerCore()
    return await consumer.fetch_resources("github-issues")

Spatial Intelligence

8-dimensional analysis across:

  1. Temporal (when)
  2. Spatial (where)
  3. Conceptual (what)
  4. Social (who)
  5. Causal (why)
  6. Procedural (how)
  7. Emotional (feeling)
  8. Intentional (purpose)

Performance Metrics

Testing Strategy

Multi-Agent Verification Pattern

Dual Agent Deployment

# Always deploy both Code and Cursor for critical fixes
# Phase 0: Investigation (both agents)
# Phase 1: Implementation (agent-specific)
# Phase 2: Cross-validation (verify each other)

Evidence Requirements

Common Validation Failures

  1. Theater validation: Claiming success without testing
  2. Wrong layer testing: Testing API, claiming UI works
  3. Assumption cascade: Each step assumes previous succeeded
  4. Uncommitted changes: Testing working directory, not deployed code

CQRS-lite Query Pattern Implementation

Overview

The CQRS-lite pattern separates read operations (queries) from write operations (commands) in the Piper Morgan system. This provides clear architectural boundaries, better performance for simple data fetches, and prevents forcing query-like operations into complex workflow patterns.

Implementation

Intent Classification

Queries are identified through intent classification:


python
# Intent classifier recognizes QUERY category for read-only operations
if intent.category == IntentCategory.QUERY:
# Route to QueryRouter
    result = await query_router.route_query(intent)
else:
# Route to WorkflowFactory for commands
    workflow = await workflow_factory.create_from_intent(intent)

Query Router (PM-034 Implementation Complete)

The QueryRouter handles QUERY category intents by dispatching them to appropriate query services based on intent analysis. Status: βœ… Operational and integrated.

Integration with OrchestrationEngine

The QueryRouter is integrated into the OrchestrationEngine using an on-demand initialization pattern with session-aware wrappers:

class OrchestrationEngine:
    def __init__(self, llm_client: Optional[LLMClient] = None):
        # QueryRouter initialized on-demand using async session pattern
        self.query_router = None

    async def get_query_router(self) -> QueryRouter:
        """Get QueryRouter, initializing on-demand with session-aware wrappers"""
        if self.query_router is None:
            # Initialize QueryRouter with session-aware services
            self.query_router = QueryRouter(
                project_query_service=SessionAwareProjectQueryService(),
                conversation_query_service=ConversationQueryService(),
                file_query_service=SessionAwareFileQueryService(),
            )
        return self.query_router

    async def handle_query_intent(self, intent: Intent) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """Handle QUERY intents using QueryRouter integration (GREAT-1B bridge method)"""
        query_router = await self.get_query_router()

        if intent.action in ["search_projects", "list_projects", "find_projects"]:
            projects = await query_router.project_queries.list_active_projects()
            return {"message": f"Found {len(projects)} active projects", "data": projects}
        # ... other query routing logic

Current Implementation Architecture

The QueryRouter uses a comprehensive initialization pattern with multiple service integrations:

class QueryRouter:
    """Routes QUERY intents to appropriate query services with LLM enhancement"""

    def __init__(
        self,
        project_query_service: ProjectQueryService,
        conversation_query_service: ConversationQueryService,
        file_query_service: FileQueryService,
        # PM-034 Phase 2B: LLM Intent Classification Integration
        llm_classifier: Optional[LLMIntentClassifier] = None,
        knowledge_graph_service: Optional[KnowledgeGraphService] = None,
        semantic_indexing_service: Optional[SemanticIndexingService] = None,
        # Performance and reliability features
        performance_targets: Optional[Dict[str, float]] = None,
        degradation_config: Optional[Dict] = None,
        # MCP Consumer integration for external tool federation
        mcp_consumer: Optional["MCPConsumerCore"] = None,
        enable_mcp_federation: bool = True,
    ):
        # Service initialization with comprehensive configuration

Request Processing Flow

The complete flow from user input to QueryRouter execution:

  1. Web Layer (web/app.py): Receives user input and creates workflow
  2. Intent Classification: User input classified using LLM with resilient JSON parsing
  3. Category Routing: QUERY intents routed to orchestration_engine.handle_query_intent(intent)
  4. QueryRouter Initialization: On-demand initialization with session-aware wrappers
  5. Query Dispatch: QueryRouter selects appropriate service based on query action
  6. Response Assembly: Results formatted and returned through orchestration pipeline
# Actual flow in web/app.py
if intent.category.value == "QUERY":
    print(f"πŸ”§ Routing generic QUERY intent to QueryRouter: {intent.action}")
    result = await orchestration_engine.handle_query_intent(intent)
    return {
        "message": f"Query processed successfully: {intent.action}",
        "result": result,
        "workflow_id": workflow.id,
    }

Error Handling and Resilience

Query Services

Query services provide read-only access to domain data:


python
class ProjectQueryService:
    async def list_active_projects(self) -> List[Project]:
        return await self.repo.list_active_projects()

    async def get_project_by_id(self, project_id: str) -> Optional[Project]:
        return await self.repo.get_by_id(project_id)

Web UI: DDD-Compliant Response Rendering (2025)

The web UI is now implemented as a DDD-compliant, test-driven interface. All bot message rendering and response handling is unified in a shared domain module (bot-message-renderer.js), ensuring:

Key Features:

Architecture Impact:

Message Humanization Flow

  1. Intent Processing: User input classified into category and action
  2. Workflow Execution: Technical operations performed
  3. Template Selection: Appropriate template chosen based on intent
  4. Action Humanization: Technical strings converted via cache/rules
  5. Message Rendering: Template populated with humanized content
  6. User Response: Natural language message delivered

Example Flow:

User Input: "Users are complaining about crashes when uploading photos"
     ↓
Intent: ANALYSIS / investigate_crash
     ↓
Workflow: GENERATE_REPORT (crash analysis)
     ↓
Template: "I'll {human_action} you reported. Let me analyze this for you."
     ↓
Humanization: "investigate_crash" β†’ "investigate the crash"
     ↓
Response: "I'll investigate the crash you reported. Let me analyze this for you."

Recent Architectural Refinements (July 2025)

Type Safety and Context Handling Evolution

Date: July 13, 2025 Impact: High - Runtime reliability improvements, test contract changes

Database Interface Type Safety

Problem Solved: File analysis workflow failures due to type mismatches between workflow context (integers) and database queries (strings).

Root Cause: Workflow context handling evolved to pass file IDs as integers from session management, but PostgreSQL repository interfaces expected string parameters.

Solution Pattern:

# Type conversion at service boundaries
file_id = str(file_id)  # Convert to expected type before repository call

Architectural Lesson: Always validate and convert types at service boundaries to maintain contract integrity between layers.

Context Propagation Enhancement

Enhancement: Added intent metadata to workflow context for template system integration.

Pattern:

# Enhanced context propagation
context["intent_category"] = intent.category.value
context["intent_action"] = intent.action

Impact: Enables context-aware messaging without breaking domain model isolation.

Pre-Classifier Pattern Refinement

Problem: Rule-based pre-classification became too aggressive, matching compound messages that require LLM analysis.

Evolution:

Required Fix: Add complexity detection to distinguish simple vs. compound messages.

Architectural Principle: Pre-classification should handle only unambiguous patterns. Complex or compound messages must flow through full LLM analysis.

Template System Integration

Date: July 13, 2025 Status: Successfully integrated with minimal architectural impact

Design Success

Key Pattern

# Intent-based template selection
template = get_message_template(
    intent_category=workflow.context.get("intent_category"),
    intent_action=workflow.context.get("intent_action"),
    workflow_type=workflow.type
)

Test Contract Evolution

Issue: Architectural improvements broke test assumptions about context handling and pre-classification behavior.

Root Cause: Tests written against earlier patterns didn’t evolve with architectural refinements.

Lessons Learned:

  1. Interface Evolution: When improving internal patterns, verify test compatibility
  2. Contract Documentation: Test expectations should be documented alongside implementation changes
  3. Regression Testing: Architectural changes require comprehensive test validation

File Analysis Pipeline Reliability

Achievement: Complete end-to-end file analysis pipeline now functional after resolving type safety issues.

Components Validated:

Performance: File analysis workflow success rate: 100% (post-fix)

2025-07-18: MCP Connection Pool Architecture & Performance Optimization

Connection Pool Pattern Implementation

Date: July 18, 2025 Impact: 642x performance improvement, production-ready infrastructure Status: Complete with feature flag deployment

Problem Solved

The initial MCP integration suffered from a critical connection-per-request pattern causing:

Solution Architecture

Singleton Connection Pool with Circuit Breaker Protection:

class MCPConnectionPool:
    """Thread-safe singleton with circuit breaker and health monitoring"""

    @asynccontextmanager
    async def connection(self, server_config: Dict[str, Any]):
        """Context manager for automatic connection lifecycle"""
        connection = await self.get_connection(server_config)
        try:
            yield connection
        finally:
            await self.return_connection(connection)

Key Architecture Patterns

1. Thread-Safe Singleton Pattern
_instance = None
_instance_lock = threading.Lock()

@classmethod
def get_instance(cls):
    if cls._instance is None:
        with cls._instance_lock:
            if cls._instance is None:  # Double-checked locking
                cls._instance = cls()
    return cls._instance
2. Lazy Async Resource Initialization
async def _ensure_async_resources(self):
    """Initialize async resources only when needed"""
    if self._connection_semaphore is None:
        self._connection_semaphore = asyncio.Semaphore(self.max_connections)
    if self._pool_lock is None:
        self._pool_lock = asyncio.Lock()

Critical Discovery: Never hold async locks during I/O operations. Initial implementation deadlocked due to nested lock acquisition during connection creation.

3. Circuit Breaker Integration
async def _check_circuit_breaker(self):
    """Prevent cascade failures with configurable thresholds"""
    if self._circuit_state == "open":
        if time.time() - self._last_failure_time > self.circuit_breaker_timeout:
            self._circuit_state = "half-open"
        else:
            raise MCPCircuitBreakerOpenError("Circuit breaker is open")

Configuration:

Feature Flag Integration

Safe Deployment Pattern:

# Feature flag with graceful fallback
USE_MCP_POOL = os.getenv("USE_MCP_POOL", "false").lower() == "true"

# Dual-mode operation in MCPResourceManager
if self.use_pool:
    async with self.connection_pool.connection(self.client_config) as client:
        content_results = await client.search_content(query)
else:
    content_results = await self.client.search_content(query)

Circuit Breaker Implementation Pattern

Design Principles

Centralized Fault Tolerance: Pool-level circuit breaker provides system-wide protection against cascade failures.

class MCPConnectionPool:
    def __init__(self):
        # Circuit breaker configuration
        self.circuit_breaker_threshold = 5    # Failures before opening
        self.circuit_breaker_timeout = 60     # Recovery timeout (seconds)
        self._circuit_state = "closed"        # closed, open, half-open
        self._failure_count = 0
        self._last_failure_time = 0

    async def _record_failure(self):
        """Record failure and potentially open circuit breaker"""
        self._failure_count += 1
        self._last_failure_time = time.time()

        if self._failure_count >= self.circuit_breaker_threshold:
            self._circuit_state = "open"
            logger.error(f"Circuit breaker opened after {self._failure_count} failures")

    async def _record_success(self):
        """Record success and potentially close circuit breaker"""
        if self._circuit_state == "half-open":
            self._circuit_state = "closed"
            self._failure_count = 0
            logger.info("Circuit breaker closed after successful connection")

Async Patterns and Lock Management

Critical Async Pattern Discovery

❌ Anti-Pattern: Holding Locks During I/O

# WRONG - Causes deadlocks
async def _create_new_connection(self, server_config):
    async with self._pool_lock:  # Lock acquired
        connection = PiperMCPClient(server_config)
        await connection.connect()  # I/O operation while holding lock

        async with self._pool_lock:  # DEADLOCK - nested acquisition
            self._all_connections.append(connection)

βœ… Correct Pattern: Minimize Lock Scope

# CORRECT - Lock only for shared state modification
async def _create_new_connection(self, server_config):
    # I/O outside lock scope
    connection = PiperMCPClient(server_config)
    await connection.connect()

    # Lock only for state modification
    async with self._pool_lock:
        self._all_connections.append(connection)

Async Resource Management Patterns

1. Lazy Async Initialization

Problem: Async resources (locks, semaphores) cannot be created in __init__ due to event loop requirements.

Solution: Lazy initialization pattern:

async def _ensure_async_resources(self):
    """Initialize async resources when first needed"""
    if self._connection_semaphore is None:
        self._connection_semaphore = asyncio.Semaphore(self.max_connections)
    if self._pool_lock is None:
        self._pool_lock = asyncio.Lock()
2. Context Manager Pattern for Resource Lifecycle

Automatic Resource Management:

@asynccontextmanager
async def connection(self, server_config: Dict[str, Any]):
    """Automatic connection acquisition and return"""
    connection = await self.get_connection(server_config)
    try:
        yield connection
    finally:
        await self.return_connection(connection)

Usage Benefits:

3. Semaphore-Based Resource Limiting

Connection Limiting Pattern:

async def get_connection(self, server_config):
    # Acquire semaphore with timeout
    await asyncio.wait_for(
        self._connection_semaphore.acquire(),
        timeout=self.connection_timeout
    )

    try:
        return await self._get_or_create_connection(server_config)
    except Exception:
        # Always release semaphore on failure
        self._connection_semaphore.release()
        raise

Best Practices Established

  1. Lock Scope Minimization: Hold locks only for shared state modifications
  2. I/O Outside Locks: Never perform I/O operations while holding async locks
  3. Lazy Async Initialization: Initialize async resources when first needed
  4. Exception-Safe Cleanup: Use try/finally or context managers for resource cleanup
  5. Semaphore Pattern: Use semaphores for resource limiting with timeout protection

Architecture Integration

MCPResourceManager Enhancement

Dual-Mode Integration: Enhanced existing MCPResourceManager to support both direct connections and pooled connections through feature flag.

Key Integration Points:

# Initialize method - detects pool availability
async def initialize(self, enabled: bool = False):
    if self.use_pool:
        # Test pool connectivity
        async with self.connection_pool.connection(self.client_config) as test_client:
            if await test_client.is_connected():
                self.initialized = True
    else:
        # Direct connection (legacy mode)
        self.client = PiperMCPClient(self.client_config)
        # ... existing logic

Enhanced Statistics: Combined pool and connection metrics for comprehensive monitoring:

async def get_connection_stats(self):
    base_stats = {
        "using_pool": self.use_pool,
        "enabled": self.enabled,
        "initialized": self.initialized,
        "available": await self.is_available()
    }

    if self.use_pool and self.connection_pool:
        pool_stats = self.connection_pool.get_stats()
        base_stats.update(pool_stats)
    elif self.client:
        client_stats = self.client.get_connection_stats()
        base_stats.update(client_stats)

    return base_stats
