Agent 1 (AAP) - Week 13-14 Summary

Agent: Agent 1 (AAP - Architecture & Planning) Week: 13-14 Date: 2025-11-01 Status: ✅ COMPLETE

Role Overview

Provided architectural planning, review, and approval for the Big Bang Database Cutover from Android-only ArcheryDatabase to KMP-compatible ArcheryKmpDatabase.

Key Contributions

1. Planning Documents

Created 3 comprehensive planning documents for Phase 1c:

  1. Week 13-14 Database Cutover Strategy

    • Defined Big Bang approach vs incremental migration
    • Established data preservation requirements
    • Outlined risk mitigation strategies

  2. Week 13-14 Database Cutover Checklist

    • Detailed implementation steps
    • Validation criteria
    • Rollback procedures

  3. Phase 1c Architecture Review

    • Evaluated proposed architecture
    • Assessed module dependencies
    • Verified KMP compatibility

2. Architecture Review

Status: ✅ APPROVED

Assessment: “Agent 2 should proceed with confidence. The architecture is solid.”

Key Findings:

  • Module boundaries clean (one-way dependency flow)
  • No circular dependencies detected
  • Data preservation strategy verified
  • KMP best practices followed throughout
  • Technical debt remains LOW (4 accepted items, 4 optional P2 items)

Rating: CLEAN ARCHITECTURE ✅

3. Critical Bug Discovery

Issue: Database name mismatch between legacy and KMP databases

Discovery: During Phase 1a review, identified that ArcheryKmpDatabase was using a different database name than ArcheryDatabase, which would cause data loss during cutover.

Impact:

  • Prevented potential complete data loss for users
  • Ensured seamless migration with zero user impact
  • Protected user data accumulated over months/years

Resolution: Synchronized database names to "archery_database" in Phase 1a

User Priority Satisfied: “I want clean architecture” ✅

4. Module Dependency Validation

Verified Clean Dependency Flow:

app → shared:database → shared:domain

No Circular Dependencies:

  • app module depends on shared:database ✅
  • shared:database depends on shared:domain ✅
  • No reverse dependencies ✅

KMP Readiness:

  • All entities KMP-safe (no Android-specific types) ✅
  • Type converters use KMP-compatible libraries ✅
  • Database builder uses expect/actual pattern ✅

Architecture Review Details

Module Boundaries

Before Migration:

app/
├── domain/models/          # 23 entities (Android-only)
├── data/db/
│   ├── ArcheryDatabase.kt  # Legacy database
│   └── migrations/         # 18 migrations

After Migration:

shared/database/
├── src/commonMain/
│   ├── ArcheryKmpDatabase.kt    # ALL 23 entities
│   ├── entities/                 # KMP-safe entities
│   └── dao/                      # 13+ DAOs
└── src/androidMain/
    ├── DatabaseBuilder.android.kt
    └── migrations/                # 18 migrations

app/
└── [Uses shared:database via DI - no database layer]

Assessment: Clean separation, proper layering ✅

KMP Compatibility

Entities: All 23 entities migrated to KMP-safe structure

  • No Android-specific types (Date → Long timestamps)
  • No Java-specific types (UUID → String serialization)
  • No platform-specific dependencies

Type Converters: Centralized in KmpConverters.kt

  • Uses kotlinx-datetime (KMP library) instead of java.util.Date
  • Uses standard Kotlin types (Long, String)
  • No Android dependencies

Database Access: Proper expect/actual pattern

  • commonMain: Database interface definition
  • androidMain: Platform-specific Room implementation
  • iosMain: Placeholder for future iOS implementation

Data Preservation

Database Name Synchronization:

// Legacy
val dbFile = context.getDatabasePath("archery_database")
 
// KMP (corrected in Phase 1a)
val dbFile = context.getDatabasePath("archery_database")  // SAME NAME

Version Synchronization:

  • Legacy: version 35
  • KMP: version 35 (synchronized in Phase 1a)

Migration Chain:

  • All 18 migrations included ✅
  • Registered in correct order ✅
  • Migration integrity verified ✅

Risk of Data Loss: ZERO ✅

Technical Debt Assessment

Accepted Technical Debt (4 items)

  1. Entity Package Structure

    • Current: Flat entities/ directory (23 entities)
    • Ideal: Domain-grouped subdirectories
    • Impact: LOW (cosmetic organization)
    • Defer: Separate PR recommended (P2)

  2. Migration Location

    • Current: androidMain (platform-specific)
    • Future: Consider KMP migration API when available
    • Impact: LOW (works correctly as-is)
    • Defer: Wait for Room KMP migration support

  3. Type Converter Consolidation

    • Current: Single KmpConverters.kt file
    • Future: Could split by domain if file grows
    • Impact: LOW (62 lines currently)
    • Defer: Monitor file size

  4. Platform Abstraction

    • Current: Expect/actual for DatabaseBuilder
    • Future: iOS implementation when needed
    • Impact: NONE (design supports iOS)
    • Defer: Implement when iOS development begins

Optional Improvements (4 items, P2)

  1. Domain-grouped entity packages (15-20 minutes)
  2. DAO package restructuring (match entities)
  3. Entity naming consistency review
  4. Migration test coverage expansion

Total Technical Debt: LOW, well-managed

    • No dependency between architecture and test review
    • Faster feedback to Agent 2

  3. Database Name Discovery Critical

    • Caught during Phase 1a review (before damage)
    • Prevented user data loss
    • Demonstrates value of thorough architecture review

What Could Be Better

  1. Earlier Database Name Validation

    • Could have caught in initial planning
    • Add database name to planning checklist
    • Verify all data preservation elements upfront

  2. Module Dependency Diagrams

    • Visual diagrams would complement text
    • Easier to spot circular dependencies
    • Consider adding to future planning docs

Key Takeaways

  1. Architecture review is non-negotiable - Caught critical data loss bug
  2. Parallel agent execution works - No coordination overhead
  3. Documentation quality matters - Well-written plans enable fast execution
