# Tech tracking
tech-stack:
  added: []
  patterns:
    - Database as source of truth for task/queue state recovery
    - Agent crash recovery with task re-dispatch

key-files:
  created:
    - src/test/e2e/recovery-scenarios.test.ts
  modified: []

key-decisions:
  - "Database state is source of truth, not in-memory queue state"
  - "Blocked tasks can be unblocked by updating DB status and re-queueing"
  - "Q&A flow tests use schema-aligned scenarios (done/question/unrecoverable_error)"

patterns-established:
  - "Recovery tests verify DB state persistence across operations"
  - "Q&A tests verify full waiting->resumed->stopped state machine"

# Phase 09 Plan 02: Recovery & Resume E2E Tests Summary

**E2E tests proving recovery after interruption and extended agent Q&A flows work correctly with database as source of truth**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 3 min
- **Started:** 2026-01-31T14:42:03Z
- **Completed:** 2026-01-31T14:45:08Z
- **Tasks:** 2
- **Files modified:** 1

## Accomplishments

- 8 E2E tests proving recovery and Q&A scenarios work correctly
- Recovery tests validating database as source of truth for state persistence
- Q&A tests validating full agent:waiting -> agent:resumed -> agent:stopped state machine
- All 34 E2E tests pass with no regressions

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Create recovery/resume scenario tests** - `62b13d8` (test)
2. **Task 2: Create extended agent Q&A scenario tests** - `62b13d8` (test - combined with Task 1)

Note: Both tasks implemented in single test file with two describe blocks.

## Files Created/Modified

- `src/test/e2e/recovery-scenarios.test.ts` - 8 tests across 2 describe blocks (Recovery after interruption, Agent Q&A extended scenarios)

## Decisions Made

1. **Database is source of truth**: Recovery tests verify that queue state survives because task status is persisted to DB, not just in-memory.
2. **Blocked task recovery via DB update**: Since no `unblockTask` method exists, tests update task status via repository then re-queue.
3. **Combined task implementation**: Both recovery and Q&A tests implemented in single file for cohesion.

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered

None.

## User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness

- All 34 E2E tests pass (6 happy path + 14 edge cases + 6 extended + 8 recovery/Q&A)
- Phase 9 complete - all extended scenarios validated
- v1.1 Test Infrastructure milestone complete
