# Historic SQL End-To-End Retrieval Acceptance Implementation Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** Add one focused regression test that proves the redesigned historic-SQL pipeline reaches both agent retrieval surfaces after a real scheduled local ingest run.

**Architecture:** All historic-SQL redesign implementation slices are already present. This plan adds acceptance coverage around the existing production `HistoricSqlSourceAdapter`: a fake aggregate reader and fake batch SQL analysis drive the deterministic hot path, a fake `AgentRunnerService` emits typed table and pattern evidence through `emit_historic_sql_evidence`, and the normal local ingest runner performs projection, squash, wiki indexing, and semantic-layer reindexing.

**Tech Stack:** TypeScript ESM/NodeNext, Vitest, YAML, SQLite FTS5 local search, existing local ingest runner, existing historic-SQL adapter.

## Starting Point

Spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-11-historic-sql-redesign-design.md`

Plans found that are based on this spec:

- `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-11-historic-sql-foundations.md`
- `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-11-historic-sql-search-enrichment.md`
- `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-11-historic-sql-unified-hot-path.md`
- `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-11-historic-sql-skills-projection-cutover.md`
- `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-11-historic-sql-cross-dialect-readiness.md`
- `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-11-historic-sql-docs-smoke-and-config-cleanup.md`
- `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-11-historic-sql-projection-archive-hardening.md`

Implemented status verified from this worktree:

- `2026-05-11-historic-sql-foundations.md` is implemented. Evidence: `packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/skill-schemas.ts`, `packages/context/src/sql-analysis/ports.ts` exposes `analyzeBatch()`, `python/ktx-daemon/src/ktx_daemon/app.py` registers `/sql/analyze-batch`, `packages/context/src/sl/types.ts` has `SemanticLayerSource.usage`, and `packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/live-database/manifest.ts` has `mergeUsagePreservingExternal()`.
- `2026-05-11-historic-sql-search-enrichment.md` is implemented. Evidence: `packages/context/src/sl/sl-search.service.ts` indexes `source.usage`, `packages/context/src/sl/sqlite-sl-sources-index.ts` selects FTS snippets, and local/MCP list surfaces expose `frequencyTier` and `snippet`.
- `2026-05-11-historic-sql-unified-hot-path.md` is implemented. Evidence: `stageHistoricSqlAggregatedSnapshot()`, `chunkHistoricSqlUnifiedStagedDir()`, `PostgresPgssReader`, aggregate BigQuery/Snowflake `fetchAggregated()` methods, unified schemas, and package exports exist.
- `2026-05-11-historic-sql-skills-projection-cutover.md` is implemented. Evidence: `HistoricSqlSourceAdapter` uses the unified stager/chunker, `packages/context/skills/historic_sql_table_digest/` and `packages/context/skills/historic_sql_patterns/` exist, `emit_historic_sql_evidence` exists, `HistoricSqlProjectionPostProcessor` is wired in `packages/context/src/ingest/local-bundle-runtime.ts`, and legacy skill names no longer grep in `packages/context` or `packages/cli`.
- `2026-05-11-historic-sql-cross-dialect-readiness.md` is implemented. Evidence: `packages/cli/src/local-adapters.test.ts` covers Postgres, BigQuery, and Snowflake historic-SQL registration, and `packages/cli/src/historic-sql-doctor.test.ts` covers low `pg_stat_statements.max` as informational output.
- `2026-05-11-historic-sql-docs-smoke-and-config-cleanup.md` is implemented. Evidence: `packages/cli/src/setup-databases.test.ts` expects canonical `historicSql.filters.serviceAccounts`, `examples/postgres-historic/scripts/smoke.sh` asserts unified `manifest.json`, `tables/*.json`, `patterns-input.json`, and zero WorkUnits on the unchanged run, and public docs use `minExecutions`.
- `2026-05-11-historic-sql-projection-archive-hardening.md` is implemented. Evidence: `projection.ts` has `isArchivedPatternPage()`, excludes archived pages from active slug matching, and `projection.test.ts` covers reappearing archived patterns, stable archived pages, stale table marking, and legacy query-page deletion.

Remaining acceptance gap this plan covers:

- The current Postgres example smoke is intentionally stage-only, so it verifies raw artifacts and zero unchanged WorkUnits but does not prove table/pattern evidence projection and retrieval.
- `packages/context/src/ingest/local-bundle-ingest.test.ts` verifies the historic-SQL post-processor with a source-dir test adapter, but it does not exercise the production `HistoricSqlSourceAdapter` scheduled-pull path or the `historic_sql_patterns` WorkUnit.
- Existing SL and wiki search tests prove the search layers independently, but no single regression proves spec §7's retrieval chain after historic-SQL ingest writes `_schema` usage and `knowledge/global/historic-sql/*.md`.

## File Structure

Create:

- `packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts`  
  Owns the end-to-end local regression for the redesigned historic-SQL pipeline. It uses the real adapter and local ingest runner, with fake deterministic reader/analysis/agent components so the test does not need a live database or LLM provider.

## Task 1: Add Real-Adapter Local Ingest Acceptance Coverage

**Files:**
- Create: `packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts`

- [ ] **Step 1: Verify the acceptance test does not exist yet**

Run:

```bash
pnpm --filter @ktx/context exec vitest run src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts
```

Expected: FAIL with "No test files found" because no end-to-end historic-SQL retrieval acceptance test exists yet.

- [ ] **Step 2: Write the acceptance test**

Create `packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts`:

Run:

```bash
pnpm --filter @ktx/context exec vitest run src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts
```

Expected: PASS. The output reports one passing test and `sqlAnalysis.analyzeBatch` is called exactly once by the test assertion.

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit the acceptance test**

```bash
git add packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts
git commit -m "test: cover historic sql retrieval acceptance"
```

## Task 2: Run Adjacent Historic-SQL Regression Checks

**Files:**
- Verify: `packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts`
- Verify: `packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/projection.test.ts`
- Verify: `packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/stage-unified.test.ts`
- Verify: `packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.test.ts`
- Verify: `packages/context/src/sl/local-sl.test.ts`
- Verify: `packages/context/src/wiki/local-knowledge.test.ts`

- [ ] **Step 1: Run the new acceptance test with the adjacent historic-SQL unit tests**

Run:

```bash
pnpm --filter @ktx/context exec vitest run \
  src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts \
  src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/projection.test.ts \
  src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/stage-unified.test.ts \
  src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.test.ts \
  src/sl/local-sl.test.ts \
  src/wiki/local-knowledge.test.ts
```

Expected: PASS. These suites cover the new acceptance chain plus the deterministic projection, stager, chunker, SL search, and wiki search layers it depends on.

- [ ] **Step 2: Run pre-commit for the new test file**

Run:

```bash
uv run pre-commit run --files packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts
```

Expected: PASS. If `uv` refuses to run because the local binary does not satisfy the repo pin, activate `.venv` and run the closest TypeScript checks instead:

```bash
pnpm --filter @ktx/context run type-check
pnpm --filter @ktx/context exec vitest run src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Confirm no unrelated files are included**

Run:

```bash
git status --short
```

Expected: either an empty status after the Task 1 commit, or only intentionally changed plan/test files if the worker is preserving an uncommitted plan handoff.

## Self-Review

Spec coverage:

- Spec §4 hot path is covered because the test uses `HistoricSqlSourceAdapter.fetch()` with `stageHistoricSqlAggregatedSnapshot()`, a fake `HistoricSqlReader.fetchAggregated()`, and one `SqlAnalysisPort.analyzeBatch()` call.
- Spec §5 cold path is covered because the fake agent emits `table_usage` and `pattern` evidence through `emit_historic_sql_evidence`, and the normal `HistoricSqlProjectionPostProcessor` projects that evidence.
- Spec §6 and §7 retrieval surfaces are covered because the same test verifies `searchLocalSlSources()` returns `frequencyTier` and an FTS snippet and `searchLocalKnowledgePages()` returns `historic-sql/paid-order-lifecycle`.
- Spec §10.4 search retrieval acceptance is covered without requiring a live warehouse or LLM credentials.

Placeholder scan:

- The placeholder scan is clean, and the plan contains concrete file paths, code, commands, and expected outputs.
- The only fallback in the plan is the explicit `uv` version-mismatch path required by repository instructions.

Type consistency:

- `HistoricSqlReader`, `HistoricSqlUnifiedPullConfig`, `SqlAnalysisPort`, `HistoricSqlSourceAdapter`, `runLocalIngest`, `searchLocalSlSources`, and `searchLocalKnowledgePages` match existing exported APIs.
- Evidence payloads match `emit_historic_sql_evidence` input schemas: table evidence omits `connectionId` because the tool injects it; projected persisted evidence includes it.

Plan complete and saved to `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-11-historic-sql-end-to-end-retrieval-acceptance.md`. Two execution options:

**1. Subagent-Driven (recommended)** - I dispatch a fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration

**2. Inline Execution** - Execute tasks in this session using executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints

Which approach?
