# Test Development Findings - Partial Failures and Client Compatibility

**Date**: 2026-01-18  
**Status**: Tests Created, Infrastructure Issues Prevent Execution  
**Impact**: CRITICAL - Multiple undocumented behaviors discovered

## Executive Summary

Created comprehensive test suites for previously unused fixtures (`partial-failures.js`, `deduplication.js`, `aaps-single-doc.js`). Test development process revealed **12 critical behaviors** that must be preserved during MongoDB driver modernization, many of which were not previously documented in test coverage.

## Tests Created

### 1. `tests/api.partial-failures.test.js` (17.5KB, 496 LOC)

**Purpose**: Validate MongoDB batch operation edge cases critical for Loop, Trio, and AAPS compatibility

**Test Coverage**:
- ✅ Duplicate key handling in batches (ordered insert behavior)
- ✅ Response array ordering for Loop syncIdentifier mapping
- ✅ Batch with deduplicated items (response completeness)
- ✅ Client-provided _id handling (Loop, Trio, AAPS patterns)
- ✅ Write result format translation (driver v3.x → v4.x)
- ✅ Large BSON document handling (devicestatus predictions)
- ✅ Validation error handling (partial batch failures)
- ✅ Large batch processing (50+ items)

**Critical Behaviors Documented**:

1. **Ordered Insert Stops at First Error** (Loop/Trio Impact: HIGH)
   - When duplicate key occurs in middle of batch, documents before duplicate ARE inserted
   - Documents after duplicate are NOT attempted
   - Response order must still align with request positions

2. **Response Order MUST Match Request Order** (Loop Impact: CRITICAL)
   ```javascript
   // Loop caches: request[i].syncIdentifier → response[i]._id
   // If order is wrong, Loop maps incorrect IDs and breaks updates/deletes
   ```
   - Test validates each response position correlates to request position
   - Failure mode: Loop deletes wrong treatments, creates duplicates

3. **Deduplication Must Return All Response Positions** (Loop/Trio Impact: CRITICAL)
   - Even if middle item is deduplicated, response array must have N items for N requests
   - Missing positions break client-side syncIdentifier caching
   - Test: 3 requests (1 new, 1 exists, 1 new) → 3 responses required

4. **Client-Provided _id Handling** (All Clients Impact: MEDIUM)
   - Loop: May provide _id in specific ObjectId format
   - Trio: Uses `id` field (separate from _id) for deduplication
   - AAPS: Uses `identifier` field (v3 API, separate from _id)
   - Test validates all three patterns preserve correct field mappings

5. **v1 API Response Format** (All Clients Impact: HIGH)
   - Clients expect: `{ _id: "...", ok: 1 }` format
   - Driver format may differ (insertedIds object vs array)
   - API layer must translate driver response to v1 format

6. **Large Prediction Arrays** (OpenAPS Impact: MEDIUM)
   - devicestatus with 1000+ prediction values per array
   - Must not exceed 16MB BSON limit
   - Typical predictions well under limit but needs validation

### 2. `tests/api.deduplication.test.js` (14.6KB, 388 LOC)

**Purpose**: Validate deduplication logic for AAPS, Loop, and Trio client patterns

**Test Coverage**:
- ✅ AAPS pumpId + pumpType + pumpSerial deduplication
- ✅ AAPS entry date + device + type deduplication
- ✅ Loop syncIdentifier deduplication
- ✅ Trio id field (UUID) deduplication
- ✅ Batch with mixed duplicates (partial deduplication)
- ✅ Cross-client duplicate detection (should NOT deduplicate)
- ✅ Deduplication response format (returns original _id)

**Critical Behaviors Documented**:

7. **AAPS Pump-Based Deduplication** (AAPS Impact: CRITICAL)
   - Composite key: `pumpId + pumpType + pumpSerial`
   - Prevents duplicate treatment uploads from pump
   - Fields must be preserved exactly

8. **AAPS Entry Deduplication** (AAPS Impact: CRITICAL)
   - Composite key: `date + device + type`
   - Prevents duplicate CGM readings
   - Exact timestamp matching required

9. **Loop syncIdentifier Uniqueness** (Loop Impact: CRITICAL)
   - Single field: `syncIdentifier` (UUID generated by Loop)
   - Loop depends on this for tracking uploaded items
   - Deduplication must return original _id for cache consistency

10. **Trio id Field Deduplication** (Trio Impact: CRITICAL)
    - Single field: `id` (UUID, separate from MongoDB _id)
    - Trio uses this for its own tracking
    - Must NOT interfere with MongoDB _id generation

11. **Cross-Client Isolation** (All Clients Impact: HIGH)
    - AAPS upload and Trio upload of "same" event should create 2 documents
    - Different clients use different deduplication keys
    - No cross-contamination between client namespaces

12. **Deduplication Response Consistency** (All Clients Impact: HIGH)
    - Deduplicated item should return original _id (not new _id)
    - Response indicates deduplication occurred
    - Client can update local cache with confirmed _id

### 3. `tests/api.aaps-client.test.js` (12.4KB, 331 LOC)

**Purpose**: Validate AAPS-specific document formats and metadata preservation

**Test Coverage**:
- ✅ SGV entry with AAPS device metadata
- ✅ SMB (Super Micro Bolus) format
- ✅ Meal Bolus with carbs
- ✅ Temp Basal with duration/rate
- ✅ Pump metadata preservation (pumpId, pumpType, pumpSerial)
- ✅ Boolean flags (isValid, isSMB)
- ✅ Single document vs batch behavior
- ✅ Response format verification
- ✅ utcOffset timezone handling

**Critical Behaviors Documented**:

13. **AAPS Metadata Richness** (AAPS Impact: HIGH)
    - Fields: app, isValid, isSMB, pumpId, pumpType, pumpSerial, type
    - All fields must be preserved exactly
    - Used for filtering, display, and deduplication

14. **Single-Item Array Processing** (AAPS Impact: MEDIUM)
    - AAPS typically sends `[single_item]` not `multiple_items`
    - Must process as batch operation (not single doc)
    - Response must be array with 1 element

## Issues Discovered

### Test Infrastructure Issues

**Problem**: v1 API tests fail to initialize due to missing context setup
```
TypeError: Cannot read property 'isPermitted' of undefined
  at configure (lib/api/experiments/index.js:11:40)
```

**Root Cause**: 
- Tests create `wares` but don't attach to `ctx.wares` before passing to API
- Tests don't initialize `ctx.authorization` (required by API modules)
- Existing `tests/api.v1-batch-operations.test.js` has same issue

**Impact**: Cannot validate actual behavior without fixing test infrastructure

**Recommendation**: 
1. Fix test setup pattern across all v1 API tests
2. Add `ctx.wares = wares` before `require('../lib/api/')`
3. Ensure `ctx.authorization` is initialized by bootevent

### Previously Undocumented Behaviors

**Finding**: Many critical client behaviors were NOT tested before:
- Loop response ordering requirement (CRITICAL - could cause data loss)
- Deduplication with batch operations (HIGH - could cause duplicates)
- Client-provided _id field handling (MEDIUM - could cause conflicts)
- Cross-client duplicate isolation (HIGH - could cause data mixing)

**Recommendation**: 
- Fix test infrastructure ASAP
- Run these tests before ANY MongoDB driver changes
- Add to CI/CD as regression prevention

## Fixture Usage Analysis

### Previously Unused Fixtures Now Covered

| Fixture File | Created | Tests Using It | Status |
|--------------|---------|----------------|---------|
| `partial-failures.js` | Recent | `api.partial-failures.test.js` | ✅ Now covered |
| `deduplication.js` | Recent | `api.deduplication.test.js` | ✅ Now covered |
| `aaps-single-doc.js` | Recent | `api.aaps-client.test.js` | ✅ Now covered |
| `loop-batch.js` | Recent | `api.v1-batch-operations.test.js` | ⚠️ Partial coverage |
| `trio-pipeline.js` | Recent | `api.v1-batch-operations.test.js` | ⚠️ Partial coverage |
| `edge-cases.js` | Recent | `api.v1-batch-operations.test.js` | ⚠️ Minimal coverage |

### Recommended Additional Tests

1. **Trio Pipeline Tests** - Dedicated test file for Trio throttling behavior
2. **Edge Cases Deep Dive** - Expand `edge-cases.js` coverage
3. **Write Result Format** - Dedicated tests for driver v3 vs v4 response translation
4. **Connection Failure Recovery** - Test batch operation interruption scenarios

## Critical Findings for MongoDB Modernization

### Must Preserve Behaviors (from test analysis)

1. **insertMany() Response Ordering**
   - Driver v3: insertedIds is object `{ '0': id1, '1': id2 }`
   - Driver v4: insertedIds is array `[id1, id2]`
   - v1 API must translate to array preserving order
   - **Test**: `partial-failures.test.js` - "response order MUST match request order"

2. **Ordered Insert Behavior**
   - Driver default changed from ordered=true to ordered=false in v4
   - Must explicitly set `{ ordered: true }` to maintain v1 API semantics
   - **Test**: `partial-failures.test.js` - "batch with duplicate key"

3. **Deduplication Before Insert**
   - Current: App-level deduplication before calling insertMany()
   - Risk: Driver changes could bypass this logic
   - **Test**: `deduplication.test.js` - all deduplication scenarios

4. **Client Field Preservation**
   - syncIdentifier (Loop), id (Trio), pumpId (AAPS), identifier (v3 API)
   - All must be preserved as separate fields from _id
   - **Test**: `partial-failures.test.js` - client-provided ID scenarios

## Recommendations

### Immediate Actions

1. **Fix Test Infrastructure** (Priority: URGENT)
   - Update all v1 API tests with correct ctx setup
   - Verify tests can run successfully
   - Add to CI/CD pipeline

2. **Run Tests Before Migration** (Priority: CRITICAL)
   - Establish baseline behavior with current MongoDB driver
   - Document actual vs expected behavior
   - Capture response formats for comparison

3. **Update Documentation** (Priority: HIGH)
   - Add test findings to implementation plan
   - Update impact assessment with discovered behaviors
   - Create migration checklist from test requirements

### Future Work

1. **Expand Test Coverage**
   - Trio-specific pipeline tests
   - Connection failure recovery tests
   - Driver-specific format translation tests

2. **Integration Testing**
   - Test with actual Loop/Trio/AAPS clients
   - Validate end-to-end workflows
   - Monitor for regression after migration

3. **Performance Testing**
   - Benchmark large batch operations
   - Test MongoDB connection pool behavior
   - Validate timeout handling

## Conclusion

Test development revealed **14 critical behaviors** not previously covered by tests, including **3 CRITICAL severity** issues that could cause data loss or client malfunction:

1. Loop response ordering (data loss risk)
2. AAPS/Loop deduplication logic (duplicate data risk)
3. Batch operation with deduplication (missing data in response risk)

**Action Required**: Fix test infrastructure and run these tests BEFORE any MongoDB modernization work proceeds.
