🎯 Error Priority Categories

CRITICAL PRIORITY (Block Core Functionality)

  • Core system coordination fails

Affected Tests:

  • All Foundation agent registration tests
  • Agent lifecycle management tests
  • Multi-agent coordination tests

2. Missing Foundation Module Functions (15+ failures)

Impact:

  • Agent registration fails

  • Bridge integration broken

HIGH PRIORITY (Major Feature Failures)

4. Signal/Event System Issues (5-8 failures)

Root Cause: Telemetry event handling and signal routing problems

assert_receive {^ref, :telemetry, %{count: 1}, metadata}

Impact:

  • Monitoring and alerting broken
  • Event-driven coordination fails
  • Performance metrics unavailable

MEDIUM PRIORITY (Integration Issues)

5. Test Infrastructure Problems (3-5 failures)

Root Cause: Test setup and Foundation.TestConfig integration issues Impact:

  • Tests don’t properly simulate production environment
  • Registry and telemetry mocking inadequate
  • False negatives in test results

6. Action Validation Failures (2-3 failures)

Root Cause: Task validation and processing logic issues Impact:

  • Task processing reliability reduced
  • Error handling not working as expected

LOW PRIORITY (Cosmetic/Warning Issues)

7. API Deprecation Warnings

  • Logger.warn → Logger.warning
  • Single-quoted charlist warnings
  • Unused variable warnings

🔧 Fix Strategy by Priority

Phase 1: Critical Infrastructure Fixes

Fix 1: Foundation.Registry Protocol Implementation

Approach: Implement proper Foundation.Registry protocol for test environment

# Need to implement Foundation.Registry protocol functions:
defprotocol Foundation.Registry do
  def lookup(registry, key)
  def select(registry, match_spec)
  def count(registry)
  def keys(registry, pid)
end

# For test environment, implement for PID (from Foundation.TestConfig)
defimpl Foundation.Registry, for: PID do
  def lookup(pid, key), do: GenServer.call(pid, {:lookup, key})
  def select(pid, match_spec), do: GenServer.call(pid, {:select, match_spec})
  # etc.
end

Fix 2: Foundation Module Mocking

Approach: Create comprehensive Foundation module mocks

# Enhance test/support/foundation_mocks.ex with:
defmodule JidoFoundation.Bridge do
  def register_agent(pid, capabilities, metadata), do: {:ok, generate_id()}
  def deregister_agent(pid), do: :ok
  def coordinate_agents(agents, task, options), do: :ok
end

Phase 2: API Alignment Fixes

Fix 3: Jido Agent API Correction

Approach: Use correct Jido.Agent API functions

# Replace Jido.Agent.Server.enqueue_instruction/2 with:
Jido.Agent.cast_instruction(agent, instruction)
# or the correct function name from Jido documentation

Fix 4: Event System Alignment

Approach: Fix telemetry event emission and handling

# Ensure proper telemetry event structure and timing
:telemetry.execute([:jido_system, :agent, :started], measurements, metadata)

Phase 3: Test Infrastructure Enhancement

Fix 5: Test Environment Alignment

Approach: Enhance Foundation.TestConfig integration

# Update tests to properly use registry parameter:
test "agent registration", %{registry: registry} do
  {:ok, agent} = TestAgent.start_link(id: "test")
  {:ok, entries} = Foundation.Registry.lookup(registry, agent)
end

📋 Implementation Plan

Sprint 1: Critical Infrastructure (Estimated: 2-3 hours)

  1. ✅ Foundation.Registry Protocol Implementation

    • Create protocol definition for test environment
    • Implement for PID and MABEAM.AgentRegistry
    • Update all Registry usage in tests

  2. ✅ Foundation Module Mocking

    • Enhance JidoFoundation.Bridge mock
    • Add Foundation.Telemetry proper implementation
    • Create Foundation.start_link mock

Sprint 2: API Alignment (Estimated: 1-2 hours)

  1. ✅ Jido Agent API Research and Fix

    • Research correct Jido.Agent instruction API
    • Update all agent instruction calls
    • Fix task processing workflow

  2. ✅ Event System Fixes

    • Fix telemetry event emission timing
    • Ensure proper event handler registration
    • Update signal routing implementation

Sprint 3: Test Infrastructure (Estimated: 1 hour)

  1. ✅ Test Environment Optimization
    • Update all tests to use registry parameter
    • Enhance test setup and teardown
    • Add proper test isolation

🎯 Success Metrics
