Dev-Lead Implementation Plan

Issue: #56 — SonarCloud: cognitive complexity (S3776)

Scope

Refactor the three flagged main() functions (scripts/discover.py, scripts/extract_all.py, scripts/flatten.py) to reduce SonarCloud Cognitive Complexity (S3776) from 21 → ≤15 by extracting well-named pure helper functions, with no behavior change.

Implementation Checklist

• scripts/discover.py — extract find_sample_ids() (tree walk) and sample_endpoint() (collapse the 3 duplicated try/except fetch blocks) out of main()
• scripts/extract_all.py — extract filter_apiaries(), process_window(), log_window(), _empty_break(), walk_hive() out of main()
• scripts/flatten.py — extract discover_metric_keys(), iter_rows(), build_row(), stream_readings(), _update_coverage(), write_notes(), build_coverage_output() out of main()

Tests to Write

• tests/test_scripts_refactor.py — unit tests for the newly-extracted pure helpers:
  • discover.find_sample_ids (nested tree, empty, missing keys) + discover.first
  • extract_all.filter_apiaries (by name, by id, empty passthrough), count_reading_rows, count_notes, parse_date
  • flatten.build_row, discover_metric_keys, iter_rows

Test Command

python -m pytest -q (plus python -m compileall bm scripts and bash .dev-lead/scripts/dev-lead-lint.sh)

Dev-Lead: Implementation Complete

Plan Execution

• scripts/discover.py — extracted find_sample_ids() (tree walk) and sample_endpoint() (collapses the 3 duplicated try/except fetch blocks) out of main()
• scripts/extract_all.py — extracted filter_apiaries(), process_window(), log_window(), _empty_break(), and walk_hive() out of main() (budget-stop now unwinds via a small _BudgetReached sentinel instead of StopIteration)
• scripts/flatten.py — extracted hive_dirs(), iter_rows(), discover_metric_keys(), build_row(), _update_coverage(), stream_readings(), write_notes(), and build_coverage_output() out of main()
• Added tests/test_scripts_refactor.py with 13 offline unit tests for the extracted pure helpers (TDD: written first, confirmed red, then green)
• Full suite + compileall + dev-lead lint all green

Files Changed

• scripts/discover.py: split the tree walk and the three near-identical sample-fetch blocks in main() into find_sample_ids() and sample_endpoint().
• scripts/extract_all.py: split the deeply-nested hive/window loop in main() into walk_hive() + process_window()/log_window()/_empty_break(), and the apiary filter into filter_apiaries(). The 4-level nesting driving S3776 is gone; each function is now well under the 15 threshold.
• scripts/flatten.py: split the two-pass loop in main() into discover_metric_keys()/iter_rows() (pass 1) and stream_readings()/build_row()/_update_coverage() (pass 2), plus write_notes() and build_coverage_output().
• tests/test_scripts_refactor.py: new — pins the behavior of the extracted helpers (id-tree walk incl. schema key variants, apiary filtering, row shaping, metric-key discovery, dedup ordering, counts).

Notes

• No behavior change. Every extraction preserves control flow, output ordering, printed text (incl. progress lines and error messages), file layout, and the per-hive dedup. Verified by the new unit tests plus an ad-hoc end-to-end flatten run over a fixture (duplicate rows dropped, coverage min/max and metric discovery correct).
• No NOSONAR suppressions used — these are real refactors reducing nesting/branching in each flagged main() from Cognitive Complexity 21 → ≤15.
• Per the TDD phase's refactor exception, the change is behavior-preserving; tests were still written first for the newly-exposed pure helpers to guard the refactor.

Dev-Lead Implementation Plan

Issue: #56 — SonarCloud: cognitive complexity (S3776)

Scope

Refactor the three main() functions flagged for Cognitive Complexity (S3776) — scripts/discover.py, scripts/extract_all.py, scripts/flatten.py — by extracting their deeply-nested loops/branches into small helper functions, reducing each from 21 to well under the 15 allowed. No behavior change.

Implementation Checklist

• scripts/discover.py: extract walk_sample_ids() (tree walk) and sample_endpoint() (per-endpoint fetch/print/error) out of main()
• scripts/extract_all.py: extract fetch_window(), process_hive(), _bump_empty(), _stop(), _log_window() out of main()
• scripts/flatten.py: extract hive_dirs(), iter_reading_rows(), discover_metric_keys(), build_row(), _update_coverage(), stream_readings(), write_notes(), build_coverage_out() out of main()
• Confirm each main() cognitive complexity < 15 (measured with the cognitive_complexity reference lib as a proxy)

Tests to Write

• tests/test_refactor_helpers.py — new non-live unit tests locking the behavior of every extracted helper (dedup, metric-key discovery, coverage aggregation, notes list/dict handling, empty-streak/budget early-exit, tree-walk id discovery, endpoint success/error paths)

Test Command

python3 -m pytest -q

Dev-Lead: Implementation Complete

Behavior-preserving refactor to clear the 3 S3776 (cognitive complexity) findings. Each flagged main() was reduced by extracting its deeply-nested loops/branches into small, single-purpose helper functions — no logic or output changes.

Plan Execution

• scripts/discover.py: extracted walk_sample_ids() + sample_endpoint()
• scripts/extract_all.py: extracted fetch_window(), process_hive(), _bump_empty(), _stop(), _log_window()
• scripts/flatten.py: extracted hive_dirs(), iter_reading_rows(), discover_metric_keys(), build_row(), _update_coverage(), stream_readings(), write_notes(), build_coverage_out()
• Added tests/test_refactor_helpers.py (18 offline unit tests locking helper behavior)
• Verified complexity drop, full suite, lint, and compileall

Cognitive Complexity (reference cognitive_complexity lib as proxy)

scripts/discover.py main(): reference-lib CC now 3 (SonarCloud reported 21 before)
scripts/extract_all.py main(): reference-lib CC now 12 (SonarCloud reported 21 before)
scripts/flatten.py main(): reference-lib CC now 5 (SonarCloud reported 21 before)

Every function in the three scripts is now ≤ 12 by the reference library; all previously-flagged main()s are comfortably under the 15 threshold.

Test Results

tests/test_repo_settings_compliance.py:23
  /home/runner/work/broodminder-export/broodminder-export/tests/test_repo_settings_compliance.py:23: PytestUnknownMarkWarning: Unknown pytest.mark.compliance - is this a typo?  You can register custom marks to avoid this warning - for details, see https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/how-to/mark.html

=========================== short test summary info ============================
SKIPPED [15] tests/test_contract.py: BROODMINDER_API_KEY not set; live contract tests skipped
================== 32 passed, 15 skipped, 1 warning in 0.42s ===================

(15 skipped = live API contract tests, skipped without BROODMINDER_API_KEY — unchanged.)

Verification

• python -m compileall bm scripts → OK (mirrors ci.yml)
• bash .dev-lead/scripts/dev-lead-lint.sh → all checks passed
• pyflakes → clean (no unused imports introduced)

Files Changed

• scripts/discover.py: tree-walk + per-endpoint probe extracted from main()
• scripts/extract_all.py: per-hive window loop + early-exit bookkeeping extracted; stopped_early now set in the StopIteration handler (equivalent)
• scripts/flatten.py: pass-1/pass-2/notes/coverage extracted; new shared iter_reading_rows() generator reused by both passes
• tests/test_refactor_helpers.py: new behavior-locking tests

Notes

Pure behavior-preserving refactor — Phase 2 TDD was still applied by writing helper-level unit tests first (red → green) that assert the exact prior behavior (dedup, coverage aggregation, notes list/dict handling, empty-streak/budget early-exit, id discovery, endpoint success/error paths). No NOSONAR suppressions used. No functional/output changes; CI-relevant checks green.
