# Plan: CI/CD Production Validation Policy Implementation

**ADR ID**: 0035
**Status**: Testing Phase
**Start Date**: 2025-01-22
**Updated**: 2025-01-22 (Testing and validation)
**Owner**: Engineering Team

---

## (a) Plan

### Phase 1: Remove Unit Tests/Linting from CI/CD

**Objective**: Align with local-first development policy by removing code quality checks from GitHub Actions.

**Tasks**:

1. Delete `.github/workflows/ci.yml` (test-fast, test-e2e, benchmark jobs)
2. Verify `.github/workflows/release.yml` remains unchanged (semantic-release only)

**Deliverables**:

- [ ] `.github/workflows/ci.yml` deleted
- [ ] No unit tests, linting, or formatting checks in GitHub Actions

**Success Criteria**: GitHub Actions only runs semantic-release workflow on main branch pushes.

---

### Phase 2: Create Production Validation Workflow

**Objective**: Add scheduled monitoring for ClickHouse Cloud AWS and Binance CDN infrastructure.

**Tasks**:

1. Create `.github/workflows/production-validation.yml` with 3 jobs:
   - `clickhouse-cloud-validation`: Schema + write/read round-trip
   - `binance-cdn-availability`: HTTP HEAD request to CloudFront
   - `simplified-e2e-validation`: 3-layer checks (environment → data flow → query)
2. Configure Doppler credentials access via GitHub Actions secrets
3. Set cron trigger: `0 */6 * * *` (every 6 hours)

**Deliverables**:

- [ ] `.github/workflows/production-validation.yml` created
- [ ] Doppler token configured in GitHub Actions secrets
- [ ] Workflow triggered manually to verify functionality

**Success Criteria**: Workflow runs successfully every 6 hours, validates ClickHouse Cloud connectivity and schema correctness.

---

### Phase 3: Create Validation Scripts

**Objective**: Implement production validation logic as PEP 723 self-contained scripts.

**Tasks**:

1. Create `scripts/validate_clickhouse_cloud.py`:
   - Schema validation via `deploy-clickhouse-schema.py --dry-run`
   - ORDER BY verification: `(symbol, timeframe, toStartOfHour(timestamp), timestamp)`
   - Write/read round-trip: Insert 100 BTCUSDT 1h bars → query with FINAL → verify deduplication
   - Cleanup test data after validation
2. Create `scripts/validate_binance_cdn.py`:
   - HTTP HEAD request to Binance Public Data Repository
   - 5s timeout, exit code 0/1 for success/failure

**Deliverables**:

- [ ] `scripts/validate_clickhouse_cloud.py` created and tested locally
- [ ] `scripts/validate_binance_cdn.py` created and tested locally
- [ ] Both scripts executable via `uv run scripts/<script>.py`

**Success Criteria**: Scripts run successfully locally and in CI/CD, exit with correct status codes.

---

### Phase 4: Update Documentation

**Objective**: Document policy exception and developer workflow changes.

**Tasks**:

1. Update project `CLAUDE.md`:
   - Add "CI/CD Production Validation" section
   - Document scheduled monitoring (every 6 hours)
   - List validation checks (ClickHouse Cloud, Binance CDN)
2. Update global `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`:
   - Add "Production Validation Exception" to GitHub Actions policy
   - Document rationale (production credentials unavailable locally)
3. Update `docs/development/COMMANDS.md`:
   - Add local validation workflow (before commit/push)
   - Document manual production validation commands

**Deliverables**:

- [ ] `CLAUDE.md` updated with CI/CD section
- [ ] `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` updated with policy exception
- [ ] `docs/development/COMMANDS.md` updated with validation workflow

**Success Criteria**: Documentation clearly explains policy exception and developer responsibilities.

---

### Phase 5: Commit and Release

**Objective**: Create semantic-release commit with BREAKING CHANGE marker (CI/CD workflow deletion).

**Tasks**:

1. Stage all changes (ADR, plan, workflows, scripts, docs)
2. Create commit with conventional commit format:

   ```
   feat!: implement CI/CD production validation policy

   BREAKING CHANGE: Removed unit tests/linting from GitHub Actions

   - Delete .github/workflows/ci.yml (unit tests, linting, E2E)
   - Create .github/workflows/production-validation.yml (scheduled monitoring)
   - Add scripts/validate_clickhouse_cloud.py (schema + round-trip)
   - Add scripts/validate_binance_cdn.py (CDN availability)
   - Update CLAUDE.md with policy exception

   Developers must now run tests locally before commit:
   - uv run ruff check .
   - uv run pytest -v --cov=src

   Production validation runs every 6 hours (ClickHouse Cloud + Binance CDN).

   References: ADR-0035
   ```

3. Push to main branch to trigger semantic-release

**Deliverables**:

- [ ] Commit created with BREAKING CHANGE marker
- [ ] Pushed to main branch
- [ ] semantic-release creates v10.0.0 (major version bump)

**Success Criteria**: GitHub Actions creates release tag, updates CHANGELOG.md, no errors.

---

## (b) Context

### Problem Statement

The workspace enforces local-first development (no unit tests/linting in CI/CD), but production infrastructure validation requires:

1. **ClickHouse Cloud AWS**: Production credentials (Doppler `aws-credentials/prd`) unavailable locally
2. **Schema deployment**: Must verify ORDER BY optimization from ADR-0034 in production
3. **Binance CDN**: External service health monitoring (22x performance advantage)
4. **Scheduled monitoring**: Independent of code changes, detects infrastructure degradation

### Architecture Context

**Current State**:

- `.github/workflows/ci.yml`: Runs pytest, ruff, E2E tests (VIOLATES workspace policy)
- `.github/workflows/release.yml`: Semantic-release only (COMPLIANT)
- ClickHouse Cloud: Manual deployment via `scripts/deploy-clickhouse-schema.py`
- No scheduled monitoring for external services

**Target State**:

- `.github/workflows/ci.yml`: DELETED
- `.github/workflows/production-validation.yml`: Scheduled every 6 hours
- `.github/workflows/release.yml`: UNCHANGED
- Developers: Run tests locally before commit (5-30s feedback)
- CI/CD: Production validation only (ClickHouse Cloud + Binance CDN)

### Policy Evolution

**Workspace Policy (Global `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`)**:

- Original: "NO testing in GitHub Actions" (strict local-only)
- Updated: "NO development testing in GitHub Actions, production validation allowed"

**Rationale**:

- Development testing (unit, linting): Fast local feedback (5-30s vs 2-5min CI/CD)
- Production validation: Requires credentials/infrastructure unavailable locally
- Scheduled monitoring: Independent of code changes, detects external degradation

### Research Findings

**Multi-Agent Investigation** (2025-01-22):

- 4 parallel agents analyzed CI/CD, validation coverage, requirements, gaps
- Discovered: `.github/workflows/ci.yml` violates workspace policy (5 violations)
- Discovered: No automated ClickHouse Cloud validation exists
- Discovered: Multi-agent E2E validation workflows are manual-only
- Discovered: Performance benchmarks are informational (don't fail CI)

### Trade-offs Analysis

| Aspect                    | Local-Only (Option 1)     | Full CI/CD (Option 2)  | Hybrid (SELECTED)        |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------ |
| **Development Speed**     | ✅ Fast (5-30s)           | ❌ Slow (2-5min)       | ✅ Fast (5-30s)          |
| **Production Monitoring** | ❌ Manual                 | ✅ Automated           | ✅ Automated             |
| **Developer Discipline**  | ❌ High (manual checks)   | ✅ Low (CI enforces)   | ⚠️ Medium (local checks) |
| **Policy Consistency**    | ✅ Strict adherence       | ❌ Violates policy     | ⚠️ Exception documented  |
| **CI/CD Costs**           | ✅ Minimal (release only) | ❌ High (every commit) | ⚠️ Medium (scheduled)    |

### 2025-01-22 [Testing Phase - Validation Scripts]

- ✅ Tested `scripts/validate_binance_cdn.py` locally
  - Both endpoints responded: 200 OK (Available)
  - CloudFront CDN is fully operational
  - Exit code: 0 (success)
- ✅ Tested `scripts/validate_clickhouse_cloud.py` locally with Doppler
  - Connection failed: ClickHouse Cloud instance paused/unavailable
  - Script correctly detected failure and exited with code 1
  - Error handling works as expected
- ⚠️ ClickHouse Cloud instance needs to be resumed for full validation
- 🔄 Proceeding to configure DOPPLER_TOKEN in GitHub Actions secrets

### 2025-01-22 [Manual Workflow Trigger #1 - Issues Discovered]

- ✅ Created Doppler service token for GitHub Actions (aws-credentials/prd)
- ✅ Configured DOPPLER_TOKEN in GitHub Actions secrets
- ✅ Triggered production validation workflow manually (run 19620535145)
- ✅ Workflow executed successfully (all jobs ran)

**Results**:

1. ✅ Binance CDN Availability - **PASSED** (14s)
   - Both CloudFront endpoints responded 200 OK
   - Validation working correctly
2. ❌ ClickHouse Cloud Validation - **FAILED** (55s)
   - ✅ Connection successful (ClickHouse Cloud IS running!)
   - ✅ Table 'ohlcv' exists
   - ✅ ORDER BY verified correctly (symbol-first from ADR-0034)
   - ❌ Table engine mismatch: Expected `ReplacingMergeTree` but got `SharedReplacingMergeTree` (Cloud version)
   - Issue: Validation script doesn't account for ClickHouse Cloud's `SharedReplacingMergeTree` engine
3. ❌ Simplified E2E Validation - **FAILED** (12s)
   - ModuleNotFoundError: clickhouse_connect not found
   - Issue: Inline Python code in workflow doesn't have dependencies installed

**Action Items**:

- Fix `validate_clickhouse_cloud.py` to accept `SharedReplacingMergeTree` for Cloud deployments
- Fix simplified E2E validation job to use validation script instead of inline Python
- Retest workflow after fixes

### 2025-01-24 [Comprehensive Bug Fixes - All Validations Passing]

**Root Cause Analysis** (3-agent parallel investigation):

1. **ClickHouse Cloud Engine Format** (Agent 1):
   - Issue: Validation expected exact `SharedReplacingMergeTree(_version)`
   - Actual: Cloud uses `SharedReplacingMergeTree('/clickhouse/tables/{uuid}/{shard}', '{replica}', _version)`
   - Fix: Flexible validation checking engine type contains 'ReplacingMergeTree' AND ends with '\_version)'

2. **Insert Data Format** (Agent 2):
   - Issue: `client.insert()` with dict caused `KeyError: 0`
   - Root cause: clickhouse-connect tried `data[0]` on dict (expects list-based format)
   - Traceback: `File clickhouse_connect/driver/insert.py, line 92: self.column_count = len(data[0])`
   - Fix: Use `client.insert_df()` with pandas DataFrame (native support)

3. **Test Data Integrity** (Agent 3):
   - Issue: Generated 100 rows but only 24 unique (deduplication working correctly!)
   - Root cause: `timestamps = [base_timestamp.replace(hour=i % 24)]` created duplicate timestamps
   - Rows 0 and 24 both had timestamp `2024-01-01 00:00:00`
   - Fix: Use `timedelta(hours=i)` for sequential hourly timestamps

**Commits**:

- `16384b6`: fix(validation): comprehensive production validation fixes
- `203b794`: fix(validation): add detailed error logging with traceback
- `50b268c`: fix(validation): use pandas DataFrame insert_df() method
- `58180f5`: fix(validation): generate unique timestamps for deduplication test

**Test Results** (Run 19621000233 - 2025-01-24 01:56 UTC):

1. ✅ **ClickHouse Cloud Validation** - PASSED (16s)
   - ✅ Schema validation passed (SharedReplacingMergeTree accepted)
   - ✅ Write/read round-trip passed (100 rows in/out)
   - ✅ Deduplication verified (100 unique rows)
   - ✅ Cleanup successful

2. ✅ **Binance CDN Availability** - PASSED (12s)
   - ✅ Both CloudFront endpoints responding
   - ✅ 22x performance advantage confirmed available

3. ✅ **Simplified E2E Validation** - PASSED (17s)
   - ✅ Layer 1: Environment validated (ClickHouse Cloud connection)
   - ✅ Layer 2: Data flow validated (insert successful)
   - ✅ Layer 3: Query validated (FINAL deduplication)

**Status**: 🎉 **ALL PRODUCTION VALIDATIONS PASSING** - ADR-0035 implementation complete
