Phase 2 Plan 01: Thread Backend API Summary

Thread and candidate CRUD API with transactional resolution that atomically creates collection items from winning candidates using Drizzle transactions

Performance

• Duration: 5 min
• Started: 2026-03-15T10:34:32Z
• Completed: 2026-03-15T10:39:24Z
• Tasks: 2
• Files modified: 9

Accomplishments

• Full thread CRUD (create, read, update, delete) with cascading candidate cleanup
• Full candidate CRUD with all item-compatible fields (name, weight, price, category, notes, productUrl, image)
• Thread list returns aggregate metadata (candidateCount, minPriceCents, maxPriceCents) via correlated subqueries
• Transactional thread resolution: atomically creates collection item from candidate data and archives thread
• 33 tests (19 unit + 14 integration) all passing with zero regressions on existing 30 Phase 1 tests

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically (TDD: RED then GREEN):

1. Task 1: Schema, shared schemas, test helper, and service layer
   • e146eea (test) - RED: failing tests for thread service
   • 1a8b91e (feat) - GREEN: implement thread service
2. Task 2: Thread API routes with integration tests
   • 37c9999 (test) - RED: failing integration tests for thread routes
   • add3e33 (feat) - GREEN: implement thread routes and mount

Files Created/Modified

• src/db/schema.ts - Added threads and threadCandidates table definitions
• src/shared/schemas.ts - Added Zod schemas for thread/candidate/resolve validation
• src/shared/types.ts - Added Thread, ThreadCandidate, and related input types
• src/server/services/thread.service.ts - Thread and candidate business logic with resolution transaction
• src/server/routes/threads.ts - Hono API routes for threads and candidates
• src/server/index.ts - Mounted threadRoutes at /api/threads
• tests/helpers/db.ts - Added threads and thread_candidates table creation
• tests/services/thread.service.test.ts - 19 unit tests for thread service
• tests/routes/threads.test.ts - 14 integration tests for thread API

Decisions Made

• Used raw SQL table.column references in Drizzle sql template literals for correlated subqueries (interpolated column objects bind as parameters, not column references)
• Thread deletion collects candidate image filenames before cascade delete to enable filesystem cleanup
• Resolution validates categoryId existence and falls back to Uncategorized (id=1) to handle deleted categories

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 1 - Bug] Fixed correlated subquery column reference in getAllThreads

• Found during: Task 1 (GREEN phase)
• Issue: Drizzle sql template literal with ${threads.id} binds as a parameter value, not a SQL column reference, causing COUNT to return 1 instead of correct count
• Fix: Changed to raw SQL reference threads.id instead of interpolated ${threads.id} in correlated subqueries
• Files modified: src/server/services/thread.service.ts
• Verification: candidateCount returns correct values in tests
• Committed in: 1a8b91e (Task 1 GREEN commit)

---

Total deviations: 1 auto-fixed (1 bug) Impact on plan: Essential fix for correct aggregate metadata. No scope creep.

Issues Encountered

None beyond the subquery fix documented above.

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

• Thread API fully operational, ready for frontend consumption in Plan 02
• All endpoints follow established Phase 1 patterns (DI, Hono context, Zod validation)
• Test infrastructure updated to support threads in all future tests
