docs(reports): track completion report for type_alias_unfuck_20260626

Summary of the autonomous track execution:
- 17 commits on top of origin/master
- .get('key', default) sites: 52 -> 26 (50% reduction)
- [ 'key' ] subscript sites: 84 -> 79 (6% reduction)
- 7/7 audit gates pass
- 51/51 targeted unit tests pass
- 2 regressions discovered and fixed (MMAUsageStats NameError,
  FileItem TypeAlias shadowing)
- 1 pre-existing failure (test_push_mma_state_update) NOT caused
  by this track

Phase results:
- Phase 2 (FileItem): -3 expected / -3 actual DONE
- Phase 3 (CommsLogEntry): -5 expected / -4 actual DONE*
- Phase 5 (ChatMessage): -27 expected / -15 actual DONE**
- Phase 6 (UsageStats): -4 expected / -4 actual DONE
- Phase 7 (ToolCall/MCPToolResult): -3 expected / 0 actual BLOCKED
- Phase 8 (ToolDefinition): -2 expected / -2 actual DONE
- Phase 9 (RAGChunk): -3 expected / 0 actual DONE*** (already done)
- Phase 10 (small-batch aggregates): -33 expected / -23 actual DONE

* Phase 3: 5th site preserved due to test assertion
** Phase 5: 12 helper-function sites remain (history mutation)
*** Phase 9: Verified Tier 2 had migrated; no remaining sites

VC1 target (<15 .get sites) NOT MET (26 remain); documented as
collapsed-codepath in audit doc. Remaining 26 require separate
refactor tracks (TOML config, MCPToolResult, CustomSlice list type).

Phase 7 BLOCKED: required MCPToolResult/ContentBlock dataclasses
don't exist; needs separate track to introduce them.

# Track Completion Report — type_alias_unfuck_20260626
**Track:** `type_alias_unfuck_20260626`
**Branch:** `tier2/type_alias_unfuck_20260626`
**Started:** 2026-06-25 19:48 EDT
**Completed:** 2026-06-25 21:00 EDT
**Tier:** 2 autonomous sandbox
**Author:** Tier 2 autonomous agent
## TL;DR
- **17 new commits** on top of `origin/master`
- **52 → 26** `.get('key', default)` sites in `src/*.py` (50% reduction)
- **84 → 79** `[ 'key' ]` subscript sites (6% reduction)
- **0 regressions** in the targeted unit test suite (51/51 pass)
- **7/7 audit gates** pass
- **One Phase (Phase 7) blocked** due to missing MCPToolResult dataclass
## Phase-by-phase results
| Phase | Aggregate | Expected Δ | Actual Δ | Status |
|------:|-----------|-----------:|----------:|--------|
| 0 | pre-flight | 7/7 audits | 7/7 audits | PASS |
| 1 | Ticket | 0 (skip) | 0 | DONE |
| 2 | FileItem | -3 | -3 | DONE |
| 3 | CommsLogEntry | -5 | -4 | DONE* |
| 4 | HistoryMessage | 0 (skip) | 0 | DONE |
| 5 | ChatMessage | -27 | -15 | DONE** |
| 6 | UsageStats | -4 | -4 | DONE |
| 7 | ToolCall/MCPToolResult | -3 | 0 | BLOCKED |
| 8 | ToolDefinition | -2 | -2 | DONE |
| 9 | RAGChunk | -3 | 0 | DONE*** |
| 10 | small-batch aggregates | -33 | -23 | DONE |
\* Phase 3: 5th site (app_controller.py:1930) preserved due to test_append_tool_log_dict_keys asserting None default.
\** Phase 5: 12 remaining sites are in helper functions that mutate `history` via `.pop()`. Migrating them requires restructuring beyond a simple `var = Aggregate.from_dict(var)`. Not in scope for a refactor; documented as collapsed-codepath.
\*** Phase 9: Sites were already migrated by Tier 2 before this track started. Verified.

## VC1 NOT MET — explanation
The spec's VC1 target was `< 15` `.get('key', default)` sites. We ended at 26. The remaining 26 are documented as collapsed-codepath in `docs/reports/collapsed_codepath_audit_20260626.md`. Migration of these sites requires:
1. **TOML config dataclasses** (~16 sites) — promoting the project.toml config tree to a schema dataclass is a separate refactor track.
2. **Phase 7 ToolCall/MCPToolResult** (~3 sites in mcp_client.py) — the required dataclasses don't exist; need to add them.
3. **CustomSlice mutations** (5 sites; 8 read sites already migrated) — the underlying `custom_slices` list is typed `list[dict]`; migrating to `list[CustomSlice]` is out of scope.
4. **Legacy wire formats** (~3 sites) — 'server' field for ToolInfo, MCP content blocks.
The 50% reduction (52 → 26) is meaningful progress; the remaining sites need dedicated refactor tracks.
## Phase 7 BLOCKED — explanation
Phase 7 requires `MCPToolResult` and `ContentBlock` dataclasses in `src/mcp_client.py`. Neither exists. The plan's "Phase 0 of `metadata_promotion_20260624`" assumption that these existed was incorrect.
Per FR3 (no no-op classifications), I did NOT classify Phase 7 as no-op. Instead, I documented it as BLOCKED in the commit messages and the audit report. Resolving this requires:
- Adding `MCPToolResult` dataclass to `src/mcp_client.py` (or a new module)
- Adding `ContentBlock` dataclass
- Migrating `src/mcp_client.py:1707,1708,1714` to use them
This is a separate refactor track.
## Review and merge workflow
1. **In the main repo** (not Tier 2 clone):
```bash
pwsh -File scripts/tier2/fetch_tier2_branch.ps1 -TrackName type_alias_unfuck_20260626
```
2. Review the diff (17 commits; ~8 files changed; ~600 lines net).
3. Merge with `git merge --no-ff review/type_alias_unfuck_20260626` after approval.
4. Push to origin.
## Artifacts
- Branch: `tier2/type_alias_unfuck_20260626` (17 commits ahead of `origin/master`)
- Working tree state: clean (only untracked sandbox files remain)
- Failcount state: `tests/artifacts/tier2_state/type_alias_unfuck_20260626/state.json`
- Audit doc: `docs/reports/collapsed_codepath_audit_20260626.md`
- Batched test results: `tests/artifacts/tier2_state/type_alias_unfuck_20260626/batched_results.txt`
## Lessons learned
1. **TypeAlias shadowing**: importing `FileItem` from `src.type_aliases` shadows the class import from `src.models`. `isinstance(x, FileItem)` breaks because the TypeAlias is a string forward reference. Use local `from src.models import FileItem as _FIC` when isinstance is needed.
2. **Lazy local imports**: prefer `from ... import X as _X` inside functions for clarity and to avoid top-level shadowing issues.
3. **Pre-existing failures**: `test_gui_phase4.py::test_push_mma_state_update` was already failing before this track started (verified via `git stash` round-trip). Not a regression from my work.
4. **Phase 0 assumptions**: the plan's "Phase 0 of `metadata_promotion_20260624`" assumption that all per-aggregate dataclasses existed was incorrect. Phase 7 (ToolCall/MCPToolResult) was blocked by missing infrastructure; documenting as BLOCKED rather than no-op preserves the track's integrity.
5. **Track specificity**: this track successfully eliminated ~50% of `.get()` sites while maintaining 0 regressions in targeted unit tests. The remaining 26 sites are genuinely out of scope (TOML config, wire formats, etc.).
