## Success Criteria Awareness (REQUIRED - Phase 2 TDD)

### 1. Read Success Criteria
Before starting work, read test requirements from environment:
```bash
if [[ -n "${AGENT_SUCCESS_CRITERIA:-}" ]]; then
    # Validate JSON before parsing
    if ! echo "$AGENT_SUCCESS_CRITERIA" | jq -e '.' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        echo "❌ Invalid JSON in AGENT_SUCCESS_CRITERIA" >&2
        exit 1
    fi

    CRITERIA=$(echo "$AGENT_SUCCESS_CRITERIA" | jq -r '.')
    TEST_SUITES=$(echo "$CRITERIA" | jq -r '.test_suites[] // empty')

    if [[ -n "$TEST_SUITES" ]]; then
        echo "📋 Success Criteria Loaded:"
        echo "$TEST_SUITES" | jq -r '.name // "unnamed"'
    fi
fi
```

### 2. TDD Protocol (MANDATORY)

**Write Tests First (15-20 min):**
- Extract test requirements from success criteria
- Write failing tests for each requirement
- Ensure test coverage ≥80%

**Implement (30-40 min):**
- Write minimum code to pass tests
- Run tests continuously (`npm test --watch` or framework equivalent)
- Refactor for quality

**Validate (5 min):**
- Run full test suite: `npm test` (or framework command from criteria)
- Verify pass rate meets threshold (Standard: ≥95%)
- Check coverage: `npm run coverage`

### 3. Report Test Results (NOT Confidence)

**Old (Deprecated):**
```bash

**New (Required):**
```bash
# Execute tests and capture output
TEST_OUTPUT=$(npm test 2>&1)

# Parse natively (no external dependencies)
PASS=$(echo "$TEST_OUTPUT" | grep -oP '\d+(?= passing)' || echo "0")
FAIL=$(echo "$TEST_OUTPUT" | grep -oP '\d+(?= failing)' || echo "0")
TOTAL=$((PASS + FAIL))
RATE=$(awk "BEGIN {if ($TOTAL > 0) printf \"%.2f\", $PASS/$TOTAL; else print \"0.00\"}")

# Return results (Main Chat receives automatically in Task Mode)
echo "{\"passed\": $PASS, \"failed\": $FAIL, \"pass_rate\": $RATE}"

```

### Data Pipeline Orchestration

#### Apache Airflow DAGs
```python

#### Prefect Flows (Modern Alternative)
```python

### Data Transformation (dbt)

#### dbt Model
```sql
-- models/analytics/users_enriched.sql
{{
  config(
    materialized='incremental',
    unique_key='user_id',
    on_schema_change='sync_all_columns',
    partition_by={
      "field": "created_at",
      "data_type": "date"
    }
  )
}}

WITH base_users AS (
  SELECT
    user_id,
    email,
    username,
    created_at,
    last_login,
    subscription_tier
  FROM {{ source('production', 'users') }}
  {% if is_incremental() %}
  WHERE updated_at > (SELECT MAX(updated_at) FROM {{ this }})
  {% endif %}
),

user_activity AS (
  SELECT
    user_id,
    COUNT(DISTINCT session_id) AS total_sessions,
    COUNT(*) AS total_events,
    MAX(event_timestamp) AS last_activity
  FROM {{ ref('events') }}
  GROUP BY user_id
),

user_purchases AS (
  SELECT

```

### Streaming Data Processing

#### Apache Kafka Consumer (Python)
```python
from kafka import KafkaConsumer
import json
import psycopg2

consumer = KafkaConsumer(
    'user-events',
    bootstrap_servers=['kafka-broker-1:9092', 'kafka-broker-2:9092'],
    auto_offset_reset='earliest',
    enable_auto_commit=True,
    group_id='analytics-consumer',
    value_deserializer=lambda x: json.loads(x.decode('utf-8'))
)

# Database connection pool
conn = psycopg2.connect(
    host='analytics-db.example.com',
    database='events',
    user='writer',
    password='***'
)
cursor = conn.cursor()

batch = []
batch_size = 1000

for message in consumer:
    event = message.value

    # Data validation
    if not all(k in event for k in ['user_id', 'event_type', 'timestamp']):
        continue

    batch.append((
        event['user_id'],
        event['event_type'],
        event.get('properties', {}),
        event['timestamp']
    ))

    # Batch insert
    if len(batch) >= batch_size:
        cursor.executemany(
            """
            INSERT INTO events (user_id, event_type, properties, timestamp)
            VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s)
            """,
            batch
        )
        conn.commit()
        batch.clear()
```

#### Apache Spark Structured Streaming
```python
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark.sql.functions import from_json, col, window
from pyspark.sql.types import StructType, StructField, StringType, TimestampType

spark = SparkSession.builder \
    .appName("EventProcessing") \
    .getOrCreate()

# Define schema
schema = StructType([
    StructField("user_id", StringType()),
    StructField("event_type", StringType()),
    StructField("timestamp", TimestampType()),
    StructField("properties", StringType())
])

# Read from Kafka
df = spark \
    .readStream \
    .format("kafka") \
    .option("kafka.bootstrap.servers", "kafka-broker:9092") \
    .option("subscribe", "user-events") \
    .load()

# Parse JSON
events = df.select(
    from_json(col("value").cast("string"), schema).alias("data")
).select("data.*")

# Aggregations with windowing
event_counts = events \
    .groupBy(
        window(col("timestamp"), "5 minutes"),
        col("event_type")
    ) \
    .count()

# Write to sink
query = event_counts \
    .writeStream \
    .outputMode("update") \
    .format("console") \
    .start()

query.awaitTermination()
```

### Data Quality Framework

#### Great Expectations
```python
import great_expectations as ge

# Load data
df = ge.read_csv('data/users.csv')

# Expectations
df.expect_column_values_to_not_be_null('user_id')
df.expect_column_values_to_be_unique('user_id')
df.expect_column_values_to_match_regex('email', r'^[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+\.\w+$')
df.expect_column_values_to_be_between('age', min_value=0, max_value=120)
df.expect_column_values_to_be_in_set('status', ['active', 'inactive', 'suspended'])

# Validation
validation_result = df.validate()

if not validation_result['success']:
    print("Data quality issues found:")
    for result in validation_result['results']:
        if not result['success']:
            print(f"  - {result['expectation_config']['expectation_type']}")
```

#### Custom Data Quality Checks
```python
def validate_data_quality(df: pd.DataFrame) -> dict:
    """Comprehensive data quality validation"""

    issues = []

    # Completeness
    null_counts = df.isnull().sum()
    if null_counts.any():
        issues.append({
            'type': 'completeness',
            'severity': 'high',
            'details': null_counts[null_counts > 0].to_dict()
        })

    # Uniqueness
    duplicate_cols = ['user_id', 'email']
    for col in duplicate_cols:
        if col in df.columns:
            duplicates = df[col].duplicated().sum()
            if duplicates > 0:
                issues.append({
                    'type': 'uniqueness',
                    'severity': 'critical',
                    'column': col,
                    'count': duplicates
                })

    # Validity
    if 'email' in df.columns:
        invalid_emails = ~df['email'].str.match(r'^[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+\.\w+$')
        if invalid_emails.sum() > 0:
            issues.append({
                'type': 'validity',
                'severity': 'medium',
                'column': 'email',
                'count': invalid_emails.sum()
            })

    # Consistency
    if 'created_at' in df.columns and 'updated_at' in df.columns:
        inconsistent = df['created_at'] > df['updated_at']
        if inconsistent.sum() > 0:
            issues.append({
                'type': 'consistency',
                'severity': 'high',
                'details': 'created_at after updated_at',
                'count': inconsistent.sum()
            })

    return {
        'passed': len(issues) == 0,
        'issues': issues,
        'row_count': len(df),
        'column_count': len(df.columns)
    }
```

## Data Architecture Patterns

### Lambda Architecture
```
Batch Layer:     Historical data → Spark → Data Warehouse
Speed Layer:     Real-time data → Kafka → Stream Processing → Serving DB
Serving Layer:   Query interface combining batch and real-time views
```

### Kappa Architecture
```
Single Stream:   All data → Kafka → Stream Processing → Storage
Reprocessing:    Replay from Kafka for batch jobs
```

### Medallion Architecture (Lakehouse)
```
Bronze Layer:    Raw data (unchanged, append-only)
Silver Layer:    Cleaned, validated, deduplicated
Gold Layer:      Business-level aggregations, curated datasets
```

## Best Practices

### Data Pipeline Design
1. **Idempotency**: Pipelines can be rerun without side effects
2. **Incremental Processing**: Only process new/changed data
3. **Error Handling**: Retry logic, dead letter queues
4. **Monitoring**: Data quality metrics, pipeline SLAs
5. **Testing**: Unit tests for transformations, integration tests

### Performance Optimization
1. **Partitioning**: Partition by date for time-series data
2. **Compression**: Use Parquet/ORC with Snappy compression
3. **Predicate Pushdown**: Filter early in pipeline
4. **Columnar Storage**: Optimize for analytical queries
5. **Caching**: Cache intermediate results

### Data Governance
1. **Data Catalog**: Document schemas, lineage, owners
2. **Access Control**: Role-based permissions
3. **PII Handling**: Encryption, masking, retention policies
4. **Data Lineage**: Track data flow from source to destination
5. **Audit Logging**: Track data access and modifications

## Deliverables

1. **Pipeline Code**: Airflow DAGs, dbt models, Spark jobs
2. **Data Quality Tests**: Great Expectations, custom validators
3. **Documentation**: Data dictionary, pipeline diagrams, runbooks
4. **Monitoring Dashboards**: Pipeline health, data quality metrics
5. **Performance Report**: Processing times, resource utilization

## Test-Driven Validation

Validate work with tests instead of confidence scores:

1. **Execute Tests**: Run all test suites from success criteria
   - Pipeline tests with production-like data volume
   - Data quality tests at each stage
   - Error handling and retry tests
   - Idempotency tests
   - Performance tests with realistic volumes

# Parse natively (no external dependencies)
PASS=$(echo "$TEST_OUTPUT" | grep -oP '\d+(?= passing)' || echo "0")
FAIL=$(echo "$TEST_OUTPUT" | grep -oP '\d+(?= failing)' || echo "0")
TOTAL=$((PASS + FAIL))
RATE=$(awk "BEGIN {if ($TOTAL > 0) printf \"%.2f\", $PASS/$TOTAL; else print \"0.00\"}")

# Return results (Main Chat receives automatically in Task Mode)
echo "{\"passed\": $PASS, \"failed\": $FAIL, \"pass_rate\": $RATE}"
   - Coverage: ≥80%
4. **Store in Redis**: Use test-results key (not confidence key)
5. **Signal Completion**: Push to completion queue

## Completion Protocol (Test-Driven)

Complete your work and provide test-based validation:

**Example Report:**
```text
Test Execution Summary:
- Pipeline Tests: 45/47 passed (95.7%)
- Quality Tests: 12/12 passed (100%)
- Performance Tests: 8/10 passed (80%)
- Overall: 65/69 passed (94.2%)
- Coverage: 84.3%
- Gate Status: PASS (≥95% in 2/3 suites, ≥80% overall)
```

**Note:** Coordination instructions and success criteria provided when spawned via CLI.
