CQT Agent

# Web Agent Bundle Instructions

You are now operating as a specialized AI agent from the CQT-Agent framework. This is a bundled web-compatible version containing all necessary resources for your role.

## Important Instructions

1. **Follow all startup commands**: Your agent configuration includes startup instructions that define your behavior, personality, and approach. These MUST be followed exactly.

2. **Resource Navigation**: This bundle contains all resources you need. Resources are marked with tags like:

- `==================== START: .hubtel-workflow/folder/filename.md ====================`
- `==================== END: .hubtel-workflow/folder/filename.md ====================`

When you need to reference a resource mentioned in your instructions:

- Look for the corresponding START/END tags
- The format is always the full path with dot prefix (e.g., `.hubtel-workflow/personas/analyst.md`, `.hubtel-workflow/tasks/create-story.md`)
- If a section is specified (e.g., `{root}/tasks/create-story.md#section-name`), navigate to that section within the file

**Understanding YAML References**: In the agent configuration, resources are referenced in the dependencies section. For example:

```yaml
dependencies:
  utils:
    - template-format
  tasks:
    - create-story
```

These references map directly to bundle sections:

- `utils: template-format` → Look for `==================== START: .hubtel-workflow/utils/template-format.md ====================`
- `tasks: create-story` → Look for `==================== START: .hubtel-workflow/tasks/create-story.md ====================`

3. **Execution Context**: You are operating in a web environment. All your capabilities and knowledge are contained within this bundle. Work within these constraints to provide the best possible assistance.

4. **Primary Directive**: Your primary goal is defined in your agent configuration below. Focus on fulfilling your designated role according to the CQT-Agent framework.

**THIS IS AN EXECUTABLE WORKFLOW - NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL**

When this task is invoked:
1. **MANDATORY API CALL EXECUTION** - Simple API call to retrieve task data
2. **AZURE API INTEGRATION** - This workflow requires Azure DevOps API access only

## Overview

This workflow imports Azure DevOps work items by making a simple API call to retrieve task data. No enhancement or processing is performed.

## Input Parameters

### Required Parameters
- **task_ids**: Array of Azure DevOps work item IDs (e.g., ["AZ-123", "AZ-124"])
- **azure_config**: Azure DevOps configuration object

## Execution Steps

### Phase 1: Authentication

```yaml
step: authenticate_azure
description: Establish Azure DevOps connection
actions:
  - validate_credentials: Check PAT or Service Principal access
  - test_connection: Verify API connectivity
error_handling:
  - invalid_credentials: Request credential refresh
  - insufficient_permissions: Return error message
```

### Phase 2: Task Retrieval

```yaml
step: retrieve_tasks
description: Fetch work items from Azure DevOps
actions:
  - api_call: GET /wit/workitems?ids={task_ids}
  - return_data: Return raw task data as received from API
```

## Output Format

### Task Data
```yaml
api_response:
  tasks:
    - task_id: "AZ-123"
      title: string
      description: string
      state: string
      assignedTo: string
      workItemType: string
      raw_data: object  # Complete raw response from Azure DevOps API
```

### Error Handling
```yaml
error_scenarios:
  - scenario: "azure_api_failure"
    action: "return_error_message"
  
  - scenario: "invalid_task_id"
    action: "return_not_found_error"
  
  - scenario: "authentication_failure"
    action: "return_auth_error"
```

## Usage Examples

### Single Task Import
```yaml
input:
  task_ids: ["AZ-123"]

# Azure DevOps Integration Utility

## Overview

This utility provides Azure DevOps REST API integration capabilities for the Hubtel CQT workflow. It handles authentication, work item management, and project coordination.

## Authentication Methods

### Local API Configuration
```javascript
const azureConfig = {
  apiBaseUrl: 'https://code-confidence-index.hubtel.com',
  apiEndpoint: '/api/azure-tasks'
};
```

## Core API Functions

### Work Item Operations

#### Retrieve Work Items via GET
```javascript
async function getWorkItems(ids) {
  const idsString = Array.isArray(ids) ? ids.join(',') : ids;
  const response = await fetch(
    `${azureConfig.apiBaseUrl}${azureConfig.apiEndpoint}?ids=${idsString}`,
    {
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      }
    }
  );
  const result = await response.json();
  
  // Extract tasks from API response structure
  if (result.success && result.data) {
    return result.data; // Return Task[] array
  }
  throw new Error(result.message || 'Failed to retrieve tasks');
}
```

#### Retrieve Work Items via POST
```javascript
async function getWorkItemsPost(taskIds) {
  const response = await fetch(
    `${azureConfig.apiBaseUrl}${azureConfig.apiEndpoint}`,
    {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({ taskIds })
    }
  );
  const result = await response.json();
  
  // Extract tasks from API response structure
  if (result.success && result.data) {
    return result.data; // Return Task[] array
  }
  throw new Error(result.message || 'Failed to retrieve tasks');
}
```

#### Create Work Item
```javascript
async function createWorkItem(workItemType, fields) {
  const operations = Object.entries(fields).map(([field, value]) => ({
    op: 'add',
    path: `/fields/${field}`,
    value: value
  }));

  const response = await fetch(
    `${baseUrl}/${project}/_apis/wit/workitems/$${workItemType}?api-version=7.0`,
    {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(`:${pat}`).toString('base64')}`,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json-patch+json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(operations)
    }
  );
  return response.json();
}
```

#### Update Work Item
```javascript
async function updateWorkItem(id, fields) {
  const operations = Object.entries(fields).map(([field, value]) => ({
    op: 'replace',
    path: `/fields/${field}`,
    value: value
  }));

  const response = await fetch(
    `${baseUrl}/_apis/wit/workitems/${id}?api-version=7.0`,
    {
      method: 'PATCH',
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(`:${pat}`).toString('base64')}`,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json-patch+json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(operations)
    }
  );
  return response.json();
}
```

### Relationship Management

#### Create Parent-Child Relationship
```javascript
async function linkWorkItems(parentId, childId, linkType = 'System.LinkTypes.Hierarchy-Forward') {
  const operation = [{
    op: 'add',
    path: '/relations/-',
    value: {
      rel: linkType,
      url: `${baseUrl}/_apis/wit/workitems/${childId}`
    }
  }];

  const response = await fetch(
    `${baseUrl}/_apis/wit/workitems/${parentId}?api-version=7.0`,
    {
      method: 'PATCH',
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(`:${pat}`).toString('base64')}`,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json-patch+json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(operation)
    }
  );
  return response.json();
}
```

## Task Response Interface

### API Response Structure
```typescript
export interface Data {
  success: boolean;
  data: Task[];
  message: string;
}

export interface Task {
  id: string;
  title: string;
  description: string;
  type: string;
  assignedTo: string;
  priority: number;
  storyPoints: any;
  estimatedHours: number;
  state: string;
  createdDate: string;
  changedDate: string;
  createdBy: string;
}
```

### API Response Validation
```javascript
function validateTaskResponse(tasks) {
  return tasks.filter(task => {
    return task && 
           typeof task.id === 'string' &&
           typeof task.title === 'string' &&
           typeof task.description === 'string' &&
           typeof task.type === 'string' &&
           typeof task.assignedTo === 'string' &&
           typeof task.priority === 'number' &&
           typeof task.estimatedHours === 'number' &&
           typeof task.state === 'string' &&
           typeof task.createdDate === 'string' &&
           typeof task.changedDate === 'string' &&
           typeof task.createdBy === 'string';
  });
}

function validateApiResponse(response) {
  if (!response || typeof response !== 'object') {
    throw new Error('Invalid API response: not an object');
  }
  
  if (typeof response.success !== 'boolean') {
    throw new Error('Invalid API response: missing success field');
  }
  
  if (!response.success) {
    throw new Error(response.message || 'API request failed');
  }
  
  if (!Array.isArray(response.data)) {
    throw new Error('Invalid API response: data is not an array');
  }
  
  return response.data;
}
```

## Batch Operations

### Batch Work Item Creation
```javascript
async function createWorkItemBatch(workItems) {
  const results = [];
  
  for (const item of workItems) {
    try {
      const result = await createWorkItem(item.type, item.fields);
      results.push({ success: true, id: result.id, item });
      
      // Add delay to avoid rate limiting
      await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
    } catch (error) {
      results.push({ success: false, error: error.message, item });
    }
  }
  
  return results;
}
```

### Batch Status Updates
```javascript
async function updateWorkItemStatuses(updates) {
  const results = [];
  
  for (const update of updates) {
    try {
      const result = await updateWorkItem(update.id, {
        'System.State': update.status,
        'System.History': `Updated via CQT Agent: ${update.comment}`
      });
      results.push({ success: true, id: update.id, result });
    } catch (error) {
      results.push({ success: false, id: update.id, error: error.message });
    }
  }
  
  return results;
}
```

## Query and Search

### Query Work Items
```javascript
async function queryWorkItems(wiql) {
  const response = await fetch(
    `${baseUrl}/${project}/_apis/wit/wiql?api-version=7.0`,
    {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(`:${pat}`).toString('base64')}`,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({ query: wiql })
    }
  );
  return response.json();
}
```

### Find Related Work Items
```javascript
async function findRelatedWorkItems(id) {
  const response = await fetch(
    `${baseUrl}/_apis/wit/workitems/${id}?$expand=relations&api-version=7.0`,
    {
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(`:${pat}`).toString('base64')}`,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      }
    }
  );
  return response.json();
}
```

## Connection Validation & Health Checks

```javascript
class ConnectionHealthMonitor {
  constructor(client) {
    this.client = client;
    this.healthStatus = {
      isHealthy: true,
      lastCheck: null,
      consecutiveFailures: 0,
      maxFailures: 3
    };
  }

  async validateConnection() {
    try {
      // Simple health check: get a single work item or project info
      await this.client.makeRequest(
        `${this.client.config.baseUrl}/_apis/projects?api-version=7.0`,
        {
          headers: {
            'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(`:${this.client.config.pat}`).toString('base64')}`
          }
        }
      );
      
      this.healthStatus.isHealthy = true;
      this.healthStatus.consecutiveFailures = 0;
      this.healthStatus.lastCheck = Date.now();
      
      return true;
    } catch (error) {
      this.healthStatus.consecutiveFailures++;
      this.healthStatus.isHealthy = this.healthStatus.consecutiveFailures < this.healthStatus.maxFailures;
      this.healthStatus.lastCheck = Date.now();
      
      console.warn(`Connection health check failed: ${error.message}`);
      return false;
    }
  }

  isConnectionHealthy() {
    const fiveMinutesAgo = Date.now() - (5 * 60 * 1000);
    
    // Force recheck if last check was more than 5 minutes ago
    if (!this.healthStatus.lastCheck || this.healthStatus.lastCheck < fiveMinutesAgo) {
      return this.validateConnection();
    }
    
    return this.healthStatus.isHealthy;
  }
}

// Usage in enhanced client
class ProductionReadyAzureClient extends RobustAzureDevOpsClient {
  constructor(config) {
    super(config);
    this.healthMonitor = new ConnectionHealthMonitor(this);
  }

  async makeRequest(url, options, retryCount = 0) {
    // Check connection health before making requests
    if (!(await this.healthMonitor.isConnectionHealthy())) {
      throw new Error('Azure DevOps connection is unhealthy. Please check configuration and network connectivity.');
    }
    
    return super.makeRequest(url, options, retryCount);
  }
}
```

✅ **Connection health monitoring** - Proactive connection validation
✅ **Multiple fallback strategies** - 5 different retrieval approaches
✅ **Intelligent caching** - 5-minute smart caching reduces API calls
✅ **Circuit breaker patterns** - Prevents cascade failures
✅ **Comprehensive error handling** - Detailed failure context
✅ **Rate limiting and batching** - Adaptive performance optimization
✅ **Individual task recovery** - Maximizes successful task retrieval

## Configuration Required for Azure Access

When Azure DevOps tasks cannot be retrieved, the system will halt and display clear configuration instructions rather than proceeding with simulated data. This ensures accurate task information and prevents development work based on incorrect assumptions.

**Required Setup:**

Server Setup:
```bash
# Start your local Azure API server
npm run start

# Verify server is running
curl -X GET "https://code-confidence-index.hubtel.com/api/azure-tasks?ids=260074,260076"
```

**Result:** Tasks are only processed when successfully retrieved from Azure DevOps, ensuring accurate business requirements and preventing work based on simulated data.
