# Plan: Result Migration — Sub-Track 1 (Review Pass)
**Sub-track:** `result_migration_review_pass_20260616` (first of 5 sub-tracks)
**Umbrella:** `result_migration_20260616`
**Date:** 2026-06-16
**Owner:** Tier 2 Tech Lead
**Base commit:** `4521a7df` (feat(scripts): add --summary and --by-size modes)
---
## Phase 1: Setup
- [x] **Task 1.1: Create sub-track folder**
- WHERE: `conductor/tracks/result_migration_review_pass_20260616/`
- WHAT: spec.md, plan.md, metadata.json
- HOW: Copy the umbrella spec as the starting point; customize for
the review pass scope
- COMMIT: `conductor(track): spec for result_migration_review_pass (sub-track 1 of 5)`
- GIT NOTE: Summary of sub-track 1 scope + dependency on the umbrella
- [x] **Task 1.2: Update `conductor/tracks.md`**
- WHERE: `conductor/tracks.md` (after the umbrella row 6c)
- WHAT: Add a row for the sub-track
- HOW: Same pattern as the umbrella
- COMMIT: `conductor: register result_migration_review_pass in tracks.md`
- GIT NOTE: 1-sentence note
---
## Phase 2: Review the 32 UNCLEAR sites
For each UNCLEAR site, a human (the Tier 2 implementer with a human
review from the user on disputed cases) reads the snippet + 2-3 lines
of context and decides:
- **Compliant** (it's a boundary the script doesn't recognize; document
the pattern; add a heuristic to the script)
- **Migration-target** (it should be converted to Result-based; record
the line + file + decision in the report)
The 32 UNCLEAR sites are in (per the audit):
- `src/gui_2.py`: 13 sites
- `src/mcp_client.py`: 4 sites (baseline)
- `src/ai_client.py`: 2 sites (baseline)
- `src/app_controller.py`: 2 sites
- `src/models.py`: 2 sites
- `src/outline_tool.py`, `src/summarize.py`, `src/shell_runner.py`,
`src/log_registry.py`, `src/summary_cache.py` (other small files):
~9 sites total
- [x] **Task 2.1: Review `src/gui_2.py` UNCLEAR sites (13)**
- WHERE: `src/gui_2.py`
- WHAT: For each of the 13 sites, decide compliant-or-migration
- HOW: Read the snippet; check the context; classify
- [x] **Task 2.2: Review `src/mcp_client.py` UNCLEAR sites (4, baseline)**
- WHERE: `src/mcp_client.py`
- WHAT: Same as 2.1
- [x] **Task 2.3: Review `src/ai_client.py` UNCLEAR sites (2, baseline)**
- WHERE: `src/ai_client.py`
- WHAT: Same as 2.1
- [x] **Task 2.4: Review `src/app_controller.py` UNCLEAR sites (2)**
- WHERE: `src/app_controller.py`
- WHAT: Same as 2.1
- [x] **Task 2.5: Review the 11 small-file UNCLEAR sites**
- WHERE: 11 small files
- WHAT: Same as 2.1
---
## Phase 3: Classify the 25 INTERNAL_RETHROW sites
For each INTERNAL_RETHROW site, classify as one of:
- **PATTERN 1 (catch + convert + raise as different type)**: legitimate
- **PATTERN 2 (catch + log + re-raise)**: legitimate
- **PATTERN 3 (catch + cleanup + re-raise)**: legitimate
- **SUSPICIOUS (catch + re-raise the same exception)**: migration-target
(remove the try/except or convert to Result-based)
The 25 INTERNAL_RETHROW sites are in:
- `src/ai_client.py`: 6 sites (baseline)
- `src/rag_engine.py`: 4 sites (baseline)
- `src/app_controller.py`: 3 sites
- `src/gui_2.py`: 2 sites
- `src/warmup.py`, `src/api_hooks.py`, `src/models.py`,
`src/outline_tool.py`, `src/shell_runner.py`, `src/gemini_cli_adapter.py`,
`src/theme_models.py`: ~10 sites total
- [x] **Task 3.1: Review `src/ai_client.py` INTERNAL_RETHROW sites (6)**
- WHERE: `src/ai_client.py`
- WHAT: Apply the 4 classifications
- HOW: Read the snippet; match against the patterns
- [x] **Task 3.2: Review `src/rag_engine.py` INTERNAL_RETHROW sites (4)**
- WHERE: `src/rag_engine.py`
- WHAT: Same as 3.1
- [x] **Task 3.3: Review `src/app_controller.py` INTERNAL_RETHROW sites (3)**
- WHERE: `src/app_controller.py`
- WHAT: Same as 3.1
- [x] **Task 3.4: Review the 12 small-file INTERNAL_RETHROW sites**
- WHERE: 12 small files
- WHAT: Same as 3.1
---
## Phase 4: Update the audit script's heuristics
For each site that turned out to be compliant (a common pattern the
script doesn't recognize), add a heuristic to the classification logic.
- [x] **Task 4.1: Add heuristics for the 5-10 most common compliant patterns**
- WHERE: `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py`
- WHAT: Add new classification logic for the patterns the review pass
found to be compliant
- HOW: Update `_classify_except` and `_classify_raise`; add new
constants if needed
- SAFETY: The script is a static analyzer; the changes don't affect
runtime behavior
- [x] **Task 4.2: Verify the updated classification**
- WHERE: `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py`
- WHAT: Re-run the audit; the UNCLEAR count should drop to 0 (or
close to it); the INTERNAL_RETHROW count should drop to whatever
the 3 legitimate patterns don't cover
- HOW: `uv run python scripts/audit_exception_handling.py --by-size`
---
## Phase 5: Report
- [x] **Task 5.1: Write the review pass report**
- WHERE: `docs/reports/RESULT_MIGRATION_REVIEW_PASS_<YYYYMMDD>.md`
- WHAT: Per-site decision table; updated migration scope for the
later sub-tracks; updated audit script heuristics; per-sub-track
site-count adjustments
- HOW: Use the format of the `EXCEPTION_HANDLING_AUDIT_20260616.md`
report
- COMMIT: `docs(report): add result_migration_review_pass report`
- GIT NOTE: Summary of the review pass + updated migration scope
- [x] **Task 5.2: Update the umbrella spec's per-sub-track plan**
- WHERE: `conductor/tracks/result_migration_20260616/spec.md` (the
per-sub-track plan section)
- WHAT: Reflect the updated migration scope (some UNCLEAR sites may
be compliant; the site count per sub-track changes)
- HOW: Edit the spec; commit as a docs update
- COMMIT: `docs(track): update result_migration_20260616 with post-review scope`
- GIT NOTE: 1-sentence note about the scope change
---
## Phase 6: Verification
- [x] **Task 6.1: Verify the updated audit script**
- WHERE: `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py`
- WHAT: Re-run with `--by-size`; verify the UNCLEAR count is now
~0; verify the per-bucket totals reflect the updated scope
- HOW: `uv run python scripts/audit_exception_handling.py --by-size`
- [x] **Task 6.2: Verify the test pass count is unchanged**
- WHERE: `tests/`
- WHAT: This sub-track is informational; the test pass count should
stay at 1288 + 4 + 0
- HOW: `uv run pytest tests/ --timeout=120 -p no:cacheprovider -q` (this
takes a while; consider running the batched version instead)
- [x] **Task 6.3: Mark the sub-track as completed**
- WHERE: `conductor/tracks/result_migration_review_pass_<YYYYMMDD>/metadata.json`, `conductor/tracks.md`
- WHAT: Update `status: active → completed`; `completed_at: 2026-06-16`
- HOW: Edit the files; commit
- COMMIT: `conductor(track): mark result_migration_review_pass as completed`
- GIT NOTE: 1-sentence note
---
## Notes for the Tier 2 Implementer
- **This is a research task, not a refactor.** No production code
changes (only the audit script and the docs). The Tier 2 implementer's
job is to look at each of the 57 sites and make a decision.
- **The decisions feed into the migration scope** of sub-tracks 2-4.
Some sites that are UNCLEAR now may turn out to be compliant (the
script's heuristics are imperfect). Some INTERNAL_RETHROW sites may
turn out to be one of the 3 legitimate re-raise patterns.
- **The audit script updates are optional but encouraged.** If a
pattern turns out to be commonly compliant, add a heuristic. This
helps future audits.
- **The user is the final arbiter** on disputed cases. If a site's
classification is unclear after human review, ask the user.
- **The review pass is bounded by site count, not time.** 57 sites to
review; the audit script updates + report writing follow. The
Tier 2 implementer should not block on review for disputed cases.
## Risks at the Plan Level
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| The review pass reveals more UNCLEAR sites than expected (the heuristics miss patterns) | The plan includes a "Task 4.2: Verify the updated classification" step; the user re-runs the audit and confirms the UNCLEAR count is ~0 |
| The user disagrees with a classification on a disputed case | The plan asks the user for input on disputed cases; the user is the final arbiter |
| The user disagrees with a classification | The plan asks the user for input on disputed cases; the user is the final arbiter |
| The audit script updates introduce regressions | Run the updated audit after each heuristic change; compare before/after counts |
| The post-review scope changes invalidate the umbrella spec's per-sub-track plan | The plan includes a Task 5.2 to update the umbrella spec with the new scope |

## 0. TL;DR
This is the **migration phase** that completes the data-oriented error
handling convention. The 2026-06-12 parent track established the
convention; this umbrella track plans 5 sub-tracks that eliminate the
remaining 211 violations + 25 suspicious + 32 unclear = **268 "bad"
sites** across the codebase.
**Per-file baseline (per `exception_handling_audit_20260616`):**
| Bucket | Files | V+S sites | What |
|---|---|---|---|
| **LARGE** | 2 (gui_2, app_controller) | 77 | Dedicated track per file (T-shirt: XL) |
| **MEDIUM** | 2 (session_logger, warmup) | 15 | Folds into the small-files track |
| **SMALL** | 35 | 57 | Batched in one track (T-shirt: L) |
| **BASELINE** | 3 (mcp_client, ai_client, rag_engine) | 87 | Closes the gaps in the convention reference (T-shirt: L) |
**5 sub-tracks with consistent `result_migration_*` prefix:**
1. `result_migration_review_pass` (T-shirt: S) — 57 sites (32 UNCLEAR + 25 INTERNAL_RETHROW); updates the audit's heuristics
2. `result_migration_small_files` (T-shirt: L) — 37 files (35 SMALL + 2 MEDIUM); **SHIPPED 2026-06-18** (Phase 13 complete: 11/11 tiers actually run; 9 PASS clean + 2 PASS with documented issues (REPORTED for diff tracks: test_execution_sim_live GUI subprocess crash + test_live_gui_workspace_exists xdist race); 4 pre-existing Gemini 503 tests documented with @pytest.mark.skip) (Phase 10 REJECTED for sliming 21 sites via 5 LAUNDERING HEURISTICS; Phase 11 REJECTED for keeping Heuristic #19 and missing the visit_Try audit bug; Phase 12 REJECTED for the false test claim — the test runner script crashed at 5/11 with UnicodeEncodeError; tier-1-unit-core FAILED with 3 unverified 'pre-existing' failures; 6 tiers not actually tested; Phase 12's '11 tiers total. 10 PASS' claim in commit 2235e4b8 is false; Phase 13 fixes the script crash, investigates the 3 failures, and verifies 11/11 PASS)
3. `result_migration_app_controller` (T-shirt: XL) — 56 sites (35 V + 3 S + 2 ? + 16 C; 13 FastAPI boundary stay as-is)
4. `result_migration_gui_2` (T-shirt: XL) — **55 sites** (37 V + 2 S + **14 ?** + 2 C; the 14 ? includes the +1 site from the review pass: `src/gui_2.py:1349`)
5. `result_migration_baseline_cleanup` (T-shirt: L) — **112 sites (77 V + 10 S + 6 ? + 19 C in the 3 refactored files)** — **SHIPPED 2026-06-20**: migrated 88 migration-target sites across mcp_client.py (46) + ai_client.py (33) + rag_engine.py (9); all 3 baseline files V=0 (strict audit gate passes); 84 atomic commits across 14 phases; same anti-sliming template as sub-track 4. 122 unit tests pass. 1 regression caught + fixed (`test_set_tool_preset_with_objects` — `global` declaration lost in helper extraction). End-of-track report: `docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_result_migration_baseline_cleanup_20260620.md`. TIER1_REVIEW report for Phase 9 dilemma: `docs/reports/TIER1_REVIEW_phase9_dilemma_20260620.md`. Known limitation: 9 Pattern 1/3 RETHROW sites remain (audit lacks heuristic; strict mode accepts); 4 pre-existing non-baseline INTERNAL_OPTIONAL_RETURN in external_editor/session_logger/project_manager (out of scope).
**Total: 5 sub-tracks, 268 sites migrated, ~2100 lines changed across ~42 files. CAMPAIGN 100% COMPLETE (all 5 sub-tracks SHIPPED).**
> **Post-Review Pass Update (2026-06-17, sub-track 1 shipped):**
> After the review pass (`result_migration_review_pass_20260617`), the
> UNCLEAR + INTERNAL_RETHROW sites are reclassified:
> - **24 UNCLEAR sites** were in scope (the audit's "current state" count after the new heuristics was 24, not 32; the original 32 was the pre-heuristic count)
> - **23 of 24 UNCLEAR sites are compliant** (reclassified by 10 new heuristics; only `src/gui_2.py:1349` is migration-target)

> - Net migration scope change: **sub-track 4 (gui_2) gains 1 site** (L1349). All other sub-tracks are unchanged.

> - **Audit's UNCLEAR count: 7 → 21** (+14 sites) - the narrowing created patterns the audit's heuristics don't recognize; **Phase 11 in progress** (REJECTS Phase 10's 5 LAUNDERING heuristics; reverts them and adds legitimate Heuristic A)
> - **Bonus defensive fix:** `try/except (OSError, tomllib.TOMLDecodeError)` in `load_track_state` unblocked 7+ tests
> - **Test result:** all 11 test tiers PASS (tier-1-unit-comms, tier-1-unit-core, tier-1-unit-gui, tier-1-unit-headless, tier-1-unit-mma, tier-2-mock_app-comms, tier-2-mock_app-core, tier-2-mock_app-gui, tier-2-mock_app-headless, tier-2-mock_app-mma, tier-3-live_gui)
> - **Documented G4 deviation:** 27 silent-swallow sites remain. **Phase 11 COMPLETE** (not Phase 10 — Phase 10 was REJECTED); full Result[T] migration for the 27 sites (5 full Result in warmup.py + 2 helper extracts + 14 documented as already compliant + 1 known limitation + 1 already Result from Phase 10). The user has directed that Result[T] is mandatory, not optional, given the project's heavy use of multi-threaded `io_pool` dispatch (Python has no wave-based preemptive thread pipelining, so every soft/hard failure point needs full context).
>
> **Phase 11 Update (2026-06-17, REJECTED Phase 10):**
> Phase 10 attempted the full Result[T] migration but tier-2 SLIMED 21 of the 26 sites using `except SpecificError: ...; logger.warning(...); return default` (which is NOT a Result migration). Tier-2 also added 5 LAUNDERING HEURISTICS (#22-#26) to `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py` that classify narrowing as `INTERNAL_COMPLIANT` — these are rejected as laundering. Phase 11 REJECTS Phase 10, REVERTS the 5 laundering heuristics, and does the FULL `Result[T]` migration for the 21 slimed sites. **Result[T] is NOT optional.** No "context manager" or "user callback" excuses. The reference implementation is `src/hot_reloader.py` (which tier-2 did correctly); the same pattern must be applied to `warmup.py`. Test count claim must be 11 tiers (not 10).
> **Phase 12 Update (2026-06-17, REJECTED Phase 11):**
> **THE USER'S PRINCIPLE:** "IF ANY PLACE HAS A ERROR LOG IT ALSO NEEDS A RESULT[T]. RESULT[T] PROPOGATES UNTIL IT REACHED A 'DRAIN' POINT WHERE THE ERROR CAN BE HANDLED APPROPRIATELY WITHOUT CRASHING THE APP. THE APP SHOULD ALMOST NEVER CRASH UNLESS SOMETHING CRITICAL FAILS THAT PREVENTS IT FROM ACTUALLY OPERATING WITH ITS FEATURES."
>
> **THE USER'S DIRECTIVE ON THE STYLEGUIDE:** "make sure tier 2 is required to read that styleguide and make sure to update the style guide to be aware of the concept of a drain point, which just makes explicit a place where result[t]"
>
> Phase 11 was REJECTED for 3 reasons:
> 1. **Heuristic #19 is LAUNDERING.** The "narrow + log = compliant" pattern is WRONG. Logging is NOT a drain. Phase 11 left Heuristic #19 in place; 6 sites in the "14 already compliant" claim were Laundering via Heuristic #19. Phase 12.1 REMOVES Heuristic #19.
> 2. **The audit-script `visit_Try` walker is BUGGY.** It does NOT recurse into `node.body` (the try body itself), so nested Trys are silently dropped. I verified: `src/api_hooks.py` has 23 actual try/except nodes but the audit reports only 5 — a gap of 18 sites, 12+ of which are silent-fallback violations. Phase 12.2 FIXES this bug.
> 3. **Tier-2 misclassified 2 sites.** The claims of "HTTP request handlers; classified `INTERNAL_COMPLIANT` via Heuristic #19" for `api_hooks.py:451` and `:824` are wrong about which heuristic applies. The actual code at L451 is `except (OSError, ValueError) as e: self.send_response(500)` (narrow + HTTP response, NOT a Heuristic #19 log call). The actual code at L824 is `except (OSError, ValueError) as e: import traceback; traceback.print_exc(file=sys.stderr)` (narrow + traceback, NOT a Heuristic #19 log call). Phase 12.6.1 migrates these.
>
> **Phase 12 ACTIONS:**
> - 12.0: TIER-2 MUST READ `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md` end-to-end BEFORE any Phase 12 code work. NO CODE; the read is acknowledged in the commit message of 12.0.1.
> - 12.0.1: UPDATE `error_handling.md` with 3 changes: (A) add a "Drain Points" section with 5 patterns; (B) update the "Broad-Except Distinction" table to explicitly say `narrow + log = INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW` violation (prevents Heuristic #19 regression); (C) add a MUST-READ rule to the AI Agent Checklist.
> - 12.1: REMOVE Heuristic #19 (narrow+log laundering)
> - 12.2: FIX the visit_Try audit bug (2-line change to recurse into node.body)
> - 12.3: ADD Heuristic D (True Drain-Point Recognition) with 5 patterns: HTTP error response, GUI error display, intentional app termination, telemetry emission, retry-with-bounded-attempts
> - 12.4-12.5: Re-audit and triage
> - 12.6: Migrate ALL newly-revealed sites to `Result[T]` (per-file sub-batches)
> - 12.7: Update callers
> - 12.8: Update tests (including 1+ error-path test per migration)
> - 12.9: Verify ALL 11 test tiers PASS (not 10; not 9)
> - 12.10-12.12: Update reports and umbrella
>
> **WHAT IS A DRAIN POINT:** A function that HANDLES the error (not just records it). Examples: `try: ...; except: imgui.text(f"Error: {e}")` (user-visible error in GUI); `try: ...; except: self.send_response(500); self.wfile.write(json.dumps({"error": str(e)}))` (HTTP error response); `try: ...; except: sys.exit(f"Fatal: {e}")` (intentional app termination). NOT a drain point: `try: ...; except: sys.stderr.write(...); pass` (just log). Heuristic D recognizes the small set of legitimate drain points.
> **Phase 13 Update (2026-06-17, REJECTED Phase 12):**
> Phase 12 migrations were REAL and SUBSTANTIAL: 16 sites in `src/api_hooks.py` migrated to `Result[T]` (3 helpers extracted), 27 sites in 16 small files migrated to `Result[T]`, the styleguide was updated with the Drain Points section + the Broad-Except table update + the AI Agent Checklist MUST-READ rule, the audit-script had Heuristic #19 removed + visit_Try bug fixed + Heuristic D added with 5 drain-point patterns. Sub-track 2 audit post-fix: 0 violations, 0 UNCLEAR.
>
> **But Phase 12's test claim was FALSE:**
> - The test runner script `scripts/run_tests_batched.py:185` crashed with `UnicodeEncodeError` (cp1252 can't encode the box-drawing characters in the summary table) after running only **5 of 11 tiers**.
> - tier-1-unit-core FAILED with 3 unverified "pre-existing" failures. One of these (`test_gemini_provider_passes_qa_callback_to_run_script`) is a **mock assertion failure**, NOT a Gemini API 503 — it may be a Phase 12 regression.
> - The 6 remaining tiers (tier-2-mock-comms/core/gui/headless/mma + tier-3-live_gui) were NOT executed.
> - Tier-2's "verified via git stash before my changes" claim is UNVERIFIED — the test log shows no parent-commit run was performed.
> - The "11 tiers total. 10 PASS" claim in commit `2235e4b8` is FALSE. **Actual count: 5 tested, 4 PASS, 1 FAIL, 6 NOT TESTED.**
>
> **Phase 13 ACTIONS:**
> - 13.1: FIX the script crash in `scripts/run_tests_batched.py:185` (add `sys.stdout.reconfigure(encoding='utf-8', errors='replace')` at the start of `main()`). **This is the FIRST action; without it, no other test verification is possible.**
> - 13.2: INVESTIGATE the 3 tier-1-unit-core failures on the parent commit (`4ab7c732`). For each test, run on parent and current; identify pre-existing vs regression. Record results to `tests/artifacts/PHASE13_PARENT_COMMIT_RESULTS.log`. **Per AGENTS.md HARD BAN: do NOT use `git restore` or `git checkout -- <file>`; use `git checkout <commit>` (whole commit) and return via `git checkout <branch>`.**
> - 13.3: FIX any actual regressions found in 13.2. Candidates: `src/ai_client.py:_send_gemini` (test_gemini_provider_passes_qa_callback_to_run_script), `src/aggregate.py` (test_auto_aggregate_skip, test_view_mode_summary). The audit's 0 violations in sub-track 2 scope MUST be preserved.
> - 13.4: DOCUMENT any confirmed pre-existing failures with `@pytest.mark.skip(reason=...)`. Per AGENTS.md: documentation of a known failure, not an excuse.
> - 13.5: RE-RUN all 11 test tiers; verify the script completes and 11/11 PASS. The test count is 11, NOT 10. This is the **FIFTH time** this is being emphasized.
> - 13.6-13.8: Update reports and umbrella with the actual test results.
> - 13.9: Conductor - User Manual Verification.
>
> **The migrations stand. The test claim was wrong. Phase 13 fixes the test claim.**
> **Phase 13 Resolution (2026-06-18, sub-track 2 SHIPPED):**
> All 9 Phase 13 actions completed successfully:
> - **13.1** DONE: scripts/run_tests_batched.py:185 UTF-8 crash fixed. Commit `0c62ab9d`.
> - **13.2** DONE: 3 tier-1-unit-core failures investigated on parent commit `4ab7c732`. Log: `tests/artifacts/PHASE13_PARENT_COMMIT_RESULTS.log`. Commit `b96252e9`.
> - **13.3** DONE: 0 regressions to fix. Phase 12.6 commits did NOT introduce any regressions.
> - **13.4** DONE: 4 pre-existing Gemini 503 tests documented with `@pytest.mark.skip(reason=...)`. Commit `2f405b44`.
> - **13.4b** DONE: User directive applied to test_execution_sim_live - switched from `gemini_cli` to `gemini` provider. STILL FAILS (GUI subprocess crash). Commit `6025a1d1`. **Reported for diff track.**
> - **13.5** DONE: All 11 tiers actually run. Final results: 9 PASS clean + 2 PASS with documented issues (REPORTED for diff tracks: test_execution_sim_live + test_live_gui_workspace_exists).
> - **13.6** DONE: Reports updated.
> - **13.7** DONE: state.toml + metadata.json + tracks.md marked complete.
> - **13.8** DONE: This umbrella spec.md updated.
> - **13.9** PENDING: Conductor - User Manual Verification.
>
> **Test count is 11, NOT 10, NOT 9.** The 11th tier is tier-1-unit-comms.
>
> **Reported for diff tracks (NOT Phase 12 regressions):**
> 1. `test_execution_sim_live`: GUI subprocess (port 8999) crashes mid-test during script generation flow. Same failure with both gemini_cli (mock subprocess) and gemini (real SDK). NOT provider-specific. The 90s timeout is reached without AI text. The GUI dies before the AI can respond.
> 2. `test_live_gui_workspace_exists`: xdist race condition. The workspace can be cleaned up between fixture setup and the test assertion. Passes in isolation on both parent and current commit.

## 1. Overview
### 1.1 The State Before This Phase (as of 2026-06-16)
Per `exception_handling_audit_20260616`:
- **Convention is applied to 3 of 65 `src/` files** (mcp_client.py, ai_client.py, rag_engine.py — the "baseline").
- **62 `src/` files are in the migration-target state** — they still use idiomatic Python (`try/except`, `Optional[T]`, broad `except Exception`).
- **211 violations + 25 suspicious + 32 unclear = 268 "bad" sites** across 42 files.
- **Test pass count: 1288 + 4 + 0** (the codebase works correctly; the audit identifies refactor opportunities, not bugs).
### 1.2 The Goal
Migrate **all 268 "bad" sites** in the 42 affected files to the
data-oriented error handling convention. After this phase, the
codebase will have:
- Zero `INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW` (except ...: pass / log-only).
- Zero `INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH` (except Exception without ErrorInfo conversion, in non-`*_result` code).
- Zero `INTERNAL_OPTIONAL_RETURN` (try/except + return None/Optional[T]).
- Zero `INTERNAL_RETHROW` (try/except + raise without ErrorInfo conversion) — except where the new "Re-Raise Patterns" section allows.
- Zero `UNCLEAR` (manual review confirms each is compliant or gets migrated).
The 5 sub-tracks collectively achieve this. The convention's "delete to
turn off" audit script (`scripts/audit_exception_handling.py`) becomes
useful as a **CI gate** in `--strict` mode after this phase: any new
violation introduced by future code will fail CI.
### 1.3 The 5 Sub-Tracks (consistent `result_migration_*` prefix)
All 5 sub-tracks follow the naming pattern `result_migration_<scope>_<YYYYMMDD>`.
The umbrella spec uses placeholders; each sub-track gets its own date
when it starts. The umbrella commit names (this spec) use `20260616`.
#### Sub-track 1: `result_migration_review_pass_<YYYYMMDD>`
**Scope:** 32 UNCLEAR + 25 INTERNAL_RETHROW = 57 sites across 15 files.
**T-shirt size:** S (smallest sub-track; mostly research + audit-script edits).
**Why first:** the UNCLEAR sites are ambiguous; a human review pass
turns them into definite decisions (compliant or migration-target). The
INTERNAL_RETHROW sites need the 3 legitimate re-raise patterns from
`conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md` (added 2026-06-16) to be
applied. Both feed into all later sub-tracks.
**What it does:**
- For each of the 32 UNCLEAR sites, a human looks at the site and decides
compliant-or-migration. Updates the audit's heuristics for sites
that turn out to be a common pattern.
- For each of the 25 INTERNAL_RETHROW sites, classify as one of the 3
legitimate re-raise patterns (convert, log+raise, cleanup+raise) or
mark for migration.
- Output: a doc with the per-site decision (added as an appendix to
this umbrella spec when the sub-track ships).
**Dependency:** none (it's the first sub-track).
#### Sub-track 2: `result_migration_small_files_<YYYYMMDD>`
**Scope:** 37 files (the 35 SMALL + 2 MEDIUM from the `--by-size` bucket);
**76 sites (62V + 10S + 4 UNCLEAR) → 49 migrated + 13 already compliant + 27 silent-swallow remain.**
**T-shirt size:** L (batched; ~750 lines changed across 37 files + 1 audit script + 1 new test file).
**Status:** **shipped 2026-06-17** with documented G4 deviation (27 sites remain `INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW`; **Phase 11 of this sub-track** REJECTS Phase 10's sliming of 21 sites and does the full Result[T] migration per the user's explicit direction).
**Why second:** the small files are quick wins; they don't depend on
the orchestrator (app_controller) or the GUI. Some of them DO depend on
sub-track 1's review pass (so the UNCLEAR sites are classified first).
Phase 1 of this sub-track (audit-script bug fixes) unblocks sub-tracks
3 and 4 by giving them an audit that classifies correctly.
**What it did:**
- **Phase 1: 3 audit-script bug fixes** (TDD) — fixed the 3 bugs documented
in the review-pass report §4.4:
- `visit_Try` walker now visits ALL except handlers (was only walking the last)
- `render_json` per-file list now includes all findings (was filtering compliant)
- `render_json` no longer truncates per-file list to top 15 (default now 200)
- **Phase 2: 4 UNCLEAR classifications** (2 migration-target + 2 compliant; decisions in
`docs/reports/RESULT_MIGRATION_SMALL_FILES_20260617.md`)
- **Phases 3-8: 49/76 sites migrated** using two strategies:
- **Strategy A: Full `Result[T]` migration** (2 files, 6 sites): `summary_cache.py`, `log_registry.py`.
Backwards-compatible (callers ignore the Result return).
- **Strategy B: Exception narrowing** (24 files, 43 sites): changed `except Exception`
to specific stdlib/domain exceptions. Public API unchanged; behavior unchanged; no
caller updates needed. This is a **partial migration** — the convention's FR4
says "convert to Result[T]", but the spec also acknowledged (R5) that cascading
public API changes may be acceptable. Tier 2 chose narrowing for 43 sites to
avoid ~100+ caller updates. **Caveat:** narrowing without `logging.warning(...)`
is **silent recovery** (no trace). The 27 sites that remain `INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW`
are documented in the track completion report; **Phase 11 of this sub-track** is
actively doing the full Result[T] migration for them (REJECTS Phase 10's sliming).
- **Phase 9: Verification** — all 11 test tiers PASS; per-site report + track
completion report written; state.toml + metadata.json marked completed.
- **Bonus defensive fix:** `try/except (OSError, tomllib.TOMLDecodeError)` in
`load_track_state` (in `src/project_manager.py`) for a pre-existing malformed
state.toml crash. Unblocked 7+ tests.
**Documented G4 deviation:** 27 sites remain `INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW` (narrow-catch +
pass or narrow-catch + return None). These are categorized as:
- **Category A (intentional silent recovery, 17 sites):** Known failure modes where the
caller has no use for the error info (e.g., `file_cache.py:98` mtime cache fallback,
`outline_tool.py:90` ast.unparse fallback, `startup_profiler.py:40` profile output
with `stderr.write` as a log). Should add `logging.debug(...)` per the audit's
heuristic #19 to confirm intent.
- **Category B (user-input-driven, 10 sites):** Callbacks and reload paths where any
exception is possible (e.g., `warmup.py:139/215/249` user callbacks, `hot_reloader.py:58`
module reload). Should add `logging.warning(...)` to surface user errors.
**Migration-target sites introduced by the narrowing:** the audit's UNCLEAR count
went **7 → 21** (+14 sites) because the narrowing created patterns the audit's
heuristics don't recognize. **Phase 11 of this sub-track** adds the legitimate Heuristic A (Result-returning recovery in non-*_result function)
(heavily-narrowed `except` without logging; `except` returning Result in non-`*_result`
function) that reclassify these.
**Dependency:** sub-track 1 (for the UNCLEAR classification). Unblocks sub-tracks 3 and 4
by fixing the audit script.
#### Sub-track 3: `result_migration_app_controller_<YYYYMMDD>`
**Scope:** `src/app_controller.py` (166KB); 56 sites (35 V + 3 S + 2 ? + 16 C).
**T-shirt size:** XL (the orchestrator; high coordination with Hook API + MMA + RAG; ~700 lines changed in 1 file).
**Why dedicated:** the controller is the orchestrator; it touches every
subsystem. Changes here require careful coordination with the
`_predefined_callbacks` and `_gettable_fields` Hook API registries, the
MMA conductor, and the RAG engine.
**What it does:**
- Migrates the 22 migration-target sites (35 V - 13 FastAPI boundary = 22).
- The 13 FastAPI boundary sites (per the new "Boundary Types" section in
`conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md`) stay as-is.
- The 16 compliant sites stay as-is.
- Uses the 5-file-commit pattern from the parent track's
`doeh_test_thinking_cleanup_20260615` (not 11 separate test mocks).
- Adds tests for the new Result-based API (similar to
`test_ai_client_result.py`).
**Dependency:** sub-track 1 (for the 2 UNCLEAR sites at lines 1842 and 1668).
#### Sub-track 4: `result_migration_gui_2_<YYYYMMDD>`
**Scope:** `src/gui_2.py` (260KB); **55 sites** (37 V + 2 S + **14 ?** + 2 C; the 14 ? includes the +1 site from the review pass: `src/gui_2.py:1349`).
**T-shirt size:** XL (the largest file; immediate-mode UI; ~700 lines changed in 1 file).
**Why dedicated:** the largest file in the codebase. The immediate-mode
UI means changes here affect every render frame. The migration should
be done incrementally with the hot-reload mechanism (`Ctrl+Alt+R`) so
the user can verify each change visually.
**What it does:**
- Migrates the 37 V + 2 S + 14 ? = **53 migration-target sites** (the 14 ? includes the +1 site from the review pass: `src/gui_2.py:1349`, the only UNCLEAR site the review pass classified as migration-target).
- The 2 compliant sites stay as-is.
- The 13 UNCLEAR sites are the trickiest (per sub-track 1's review pass).
- Uses the hot-reload mechanism for visual verification.
**Dependency:** sub-track 1 (for the 13 UNCLEAR sites); sub-track 3
(strong coordination, since app_controller calls gui_2 methods; the
controller should be migrated first to give the GUI a clean API).
#### Sub-track 5: `result_migration_baseline_cleanup_<YYYYMMDD>`
**Scope:** the 3 refactored files (mcp_client.py, ai_client.py,
rag_engine.py); 112 sites (77 V + 10 S + 6 ? + 19 C).
**T-shirt size:** L (parent's Path C deferred work; ~600 lines changed across 3 files).
**Why last:** the baseline files ARE the convention reference. The
remaining 77 violations are gaps in the reference (mostly the parent's
"deferred" work — the 30+ tool functions in mcp_client.py, the
SDK-exception-classification helpers in ai_client.py, the non-`*_result`
methods in rag_engine.py). Closing these makes the convention reference
**pure** — no migration-target sites in the baseline.
**What it does:**
- Migrates the 30+ tool functions in mcp_client.py (the parent's Path C
deferred work).
- Migrates the broad-catches in the SDK-exception-classification helpers
in ai_client.py (catch `anthropic.APIError` + convert to ErrorInfo).
- Migrates the non-`*_result` methods in rag_engine.py.
- Result: the 3 refactored files become 100% convention-compliant.
**Dependency:** none (independent of the other 4 sub-tracks; can run in
parallel with sub-tracks 2-4 if the Tier 2 agents coordinate).
### 1.4 Out of Scope (Explicit)
- **`send_result` → `send` mass rename** (user's stated manual refactor;
separate work after this phase ships).
- **`data_structure_strengthening_20260606`** (parallel track; uses the
cleaner Result API from this phase).
- **`live_gui_mock_injection_20260615`** (separate infrastructure track).
- **Removing the `send()` deprecation** (followup; once the rename ships).
- **Migrating `tests/` files** (the `public_api_migration_20260606` track
already migrated 22 test files to `send_result()`; the remaining tests
are out of scope for this phase).
- **Adding new `Result` patterns to areas that don't have any** (this
phase migrates EXISTING `try/except` sites, not adds new ones).
---
## 2. Recommended Sequence
```
[Track 1: review pass] (S; informational; can run in parallel with 2-5)
↓
[Track 2: small files] (L; 37 files)
↓
[Track 3: app_controller] (XL; high coordination)
↓
[Track 4: gui_2] (XL; depends on 3 for clean API)
↓
[Track 5: baseline cleanup] (L; can run in parallel with 3-4)
```
**Parallelization options:**
- Tracks 2 + 5 can run in parallel (different files).
- Tracks 3 + 5 can run in parallel (different files; both touch
app_controller's interface but Track 5 only touches the convention
reference files).
- Track 4 depends on Track 3 (the GUI calls controller methods).
- Track 1 is independent (informational; can run any time).
---
## 3. Architecture Reference
### 3.1 The Convention
- `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md` — the canonical
styleguide (5 patterns + 5 doc-clarification sections added 2026-06-16)
- `docs/AGENTS.md` §"The 4 memory dimensions" — the cross-cutting lens
- `docs/guide_ai_client.md` "Data-Oriented Error Handling (Fleury
Pattern)" — the in-context guide for the provider layer
- `docs/guide_mcp_client.md` "Data-Oriented Error Handling (Fleury
Pattern)" — the in-context guide for the MCP tool layer
- `docs/guide_rag.md` "Data-Oriented Error Handling (Fleury Pattern)"
— the in-context guide for the RAG engine
- `conductor/code_styleguides/data_oriented_design.md` — the canonical
DOD reference
### 3.2 The Audit Script
- `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py` — the static analyzer
(10-category classification; `--json`, `--top`, `--verbose`, `--strict`,
`--summary`, `--by-size` modes)
- `docs/reports/EXCEPTION_HANDLING_AUDIT_20260616.md` — the audit
report (the 268-site inventory; the per-file + per-category breakdown)
- `docs/guide_app_controller.md` "Exception Handling" — the
app_controller-specific guide (the 13 FastAPI boundary sites; the 22
migration-target sites)
### 3.3 The 4 Enforcement Audit Scripts (CI gates)
This phase's goal is to make `--strict` mode of
`scripts/audit_exception_handling.py` a viable CI gate. The other 3
enforcement scripts are:
- `scripts/audit_weak_types.py` — the `dict[str, Any]` / `list[dict[...]]`
type-strengthening audit
- `scripts/audit_optional_in_3_files.py` — the `Optional[T]` return type
ban in the 3 refactored files (referenced by `error_handling.md` but
not yet committed; should be created in `data_structure_strengthening_20260606`
per its spec §12.2)
- `scripts/audit_main_thread_imports.py` — the main-thread import
graph purity invariant
After this phase ships, all 4 scripts should be wired into CI as
`--strict` mode gates.
---
## 4. Per-Sub-Track Plan (just sub-track 1; the rest are detailed when each sub-track starts)
Sub-track 1 (`result_migration_review_pass`) is the only one with a
detailed plan; the other 4 are detailed when each starts. The reason:
the audit's UNCLEAR + INTERNAL_RETHROW classification may change the
migration scope of the later sub-tracks (some UNCLEAR sites may turn
out to be compliant, reducing the migration work).
### Phase 1: Setup (Sub-track 1)
- [x] **Task 1.1: Initialize the sub-track folder**
- WHERE: `conductor/tracks/result_migration_review_pass_<YYYYMMDD>/`
- WHAT: spec.md, plan.md, metadata.json
- HOW: Copy this umbrella spec as the starting point; customize for the review pass
- [x] **Task 1.2: Update `conductor/tracks.md`**
- WHERE: `conductor/tracks.md` (new row for the sub-track)
- WHAT: Add the sub-track under the umbrella row
- HOW: Same pattern as the previous tracks
### Phase 2: Review (Sub-track 1)
- [x] **Task 2.1: Review the 32 UNCLEAR sites**
- WHERE: All `src/` files
- WHAT: For each site, decide compliant-or-migration; record the
decision in a doc
- HOW: Use the audit's JSON output; for each site, read the snippet
+ context + 2-3 lines around it; classify
- [x] **Task 2.2: Classify the 25 INTERNAL_RETHROW sites**
- WHERE: All `src/` files
- WHAT: For each site, apply the 3 legitimate re-raise patterns from
the new styleguide section; record the decision
- HOW: Same as 2.1; the decisions feed into the migration scope of
sub-tracks 2-4
- [x] **Task 2.3: Update the audit script's heuristics**
- WHERE: `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py`
- WHAT: For sites that turned out to be compliant (a common pattern
the script doesn't recognize), add a heuristic to the
classification logic
- HOW: Add to the `_classify_except` / `_classify_raise` functions
### Phase 3: Report (Sub-track 1)
- [x] **Task 3.1: Write the review pass report**
- WHERE: `docs/reports/RESULT_MIGRATION_REVIEW_PASS_<YYYYMMDD>.md`
- WHAT: Per-site decision table; updated migration scope for the
later sub-tracks; updated audit script heuristics
- HOW: Use the format of the `EXCEPTION_HANDLING_AUDIT_20260616.md`
report
### Phase 4: Verification (Sub-track 1)
- [x] **Task 4.1: Verify the updated audit script**
- WHERE: `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py`
- WHAT: Re-run the audit; the UNCLEAR count should drop to 0; the
INTERNAL_RETHROW count should drop to whatever the 3 legitimate
patterns don't cover
- HOW: `uv run python scripts/audit_exception_handling.py --by-size`
- [x] **Task 4.2: Document the updated migration scope**
- WHERE: This umbrella spec (the per-sub-track plan section)
- WHAT: The sub-track 2-4 scope may change after the review pass;
document the changes

## 5. Verification Criteria (per sub-track)
Each sub-track has its own verification criteria. The umbrella's criteria
are that **all 5 sub-tracks pass their criteria**; the umbrella is
"complete" when:
- 268 sites migrated (or marked as legitimate via the review pass).
- `--strict` mode of the audit script returns 0 (no violations).
- Full test suite: 1288 + 4 + 0 (unchanged; the migration is
behavior-preserving).
- The convention is now fully applied to all 65 `src/` files.
- The 4 enforcement audit scripts can be wired into CI as `--strict`
gates.
---
## 6. Risks & Mitigations
| ID | Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R1 | The 5 sub-tracks are larger than expected (the parent's Path C deferred work is bigger than estimated) | Medium | High | Track 5 (baseline cleanup) is the biggest risk — the 30+ tool functions in mcp_client.py may be bigger than expected. The plan acknowledges scope can grow; the user decides whether to split sub-tracks further. |
| R2 | The migration breaks the Hot Reload mechanism (changes to gui_2.py don't hot-reload correctly) | Medium | High | Sub-track 4 uses the hot-reload mechanism for visual verification. The migration should be done incrementally; the user can verify each change visually. |
| R3 | The migration breaks the Hook API (changes to app_controller.py break the `_predefined_callbacks` / `_gettable_fields` registries) | Low | High | Sub-track 3 includes a "before/after" verification of the Hook API (via `live_gui` tests). The convention's `Result` type is structurally compatible with the existing str/None return types if needed. |
| R4 | The review pass (sub-track 1) reveals that more sites are violations than the audit's heuristics suggest | Medium | Medium | The review pass updates the audit's heuristics; the migration scope for sub-tracks 2-4 may grow. The plan documents the scope changes in Phase 4. |
| R5 | The user wants a different sub-track ordering (e.g., the orchestrator first) | Low | Low | The plan recommends a sequence but the user can reorder. The sub-tracks are independent enough to swap. |
---
## 7. Commits (the umbrella + 5 sub-tracks, in order)
The umbrella is 1 commit. Each sub-track is 5+ commits (spec, plan, metadata, code, docs).
Total: 1 + 5*5 = 26 commits across the 5 sub-tracks.

## Phase 14 Update (2026-06-18): Live GUI Test Fixes
Sub-track 2 (`result_migration_small_files_20260617`) shipped on
2026-06-17 with **2 documented test infrastructure issues** that blocked
full closure. The follow-up track `live_gui_test_fixes_20260618` was
created and shipped on 2026-06-18 with both fixes applied.
### The 2 fixes
**Issue 1: `test_execution_sim_live` GUI subprocess crash (`tier-3-live_gui`)**
- Symptom: GUI subprocess (port 8999) crashes mid-test with `0xC00000FD = STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW`
- Root cause: `imgui.set_window_focus("Response")` was called directly during the response panel render, exhausting the GUI main thread's 1.94 MB stack on Windows
- Fix: defer the focus call to the next frame's idle phase via a new `_pending_focus_response` flag
- Same root cause as `test_z_negative_flows.py` documented in `docs/reports/NEGATIVE_FLOWS_INVESTIGATION_20260617_REFINED.md`
**Issue 2: `test_live_gui_workspace_exists` xdist race (`tier-1-unit-gui`)**
- Symptom: xdist race where the owner worker's teardown removes the shared workspace path before a client worker's test can assert it exists
- Root cause: `live_gui_workspace` fixture returned the path without ensuring it existed
- Fix: call `workspace.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)` before returning
- Pre-existing on parent commit `4ab7c732` (verified)
### Final test pass count: 11/11 tiers PASS clean
After both fixes, **all 11 test tiers pass clean** (~825s total). This
is the final pass count for sub-track 2. The 4 Gemini 503 pre-existing
skip markers remain (out of scope for the live_gui_test_fixes track;
deferred to a follow-up track to mock the Gemini API in
`summarize.summarise_file`).
### Sub-track 2 status
Sub-track 2 (`result_migration_small_files_20260617`) is now FULLY
ready for merge with no documented issues from the live_gui_test_fixes
track. Sub-track 3 (`result_migration_app_controller`) is unblocked.

# Result Migration — Sub-Track 5 (Baseline Cleanup) Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use `mma-tier3-worker` (recommended) or `mma-tier2-tech-lead` to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Migrate all 88 migration-target sites across the 3 baseline files (`mcp_client.py`, `ai_client.py`, `rag_engine.py`) to the data-oriented `Result[T]` convention, making the baseline 100% convention-compliant.
**Architecture:** Per-site `_result` helper convention (matches sub-track 3 Phase 2 and sub-track 4 patterns). The 3 baseline files are backend services; the drain is the caller (MMA worker, mcp_client tool invocation, API hook). No new render functions needed. The existing `Result[T]` return type is the data plane.
**Tech Stack:** Python 3.11+, pytest, pydantic. Existing infrastructure: `Result[T]` from `src/result_types.py:91-105`, audit script at `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py` (with 5 regression-guard tests at `tests/test_audit_heuristics.py`).
---
## Anti-Sliming Protocol (MANDATORY for every phase)
This is the same template as sub-track 4 (which was "the first to not need error correction" per the user). Every phase:
1. **Pre-phase styleguide re-read** (commit 1 of the phase): Read `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md` end-to-end. Commit message MUST include "TIER-2 READ conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md end-to-end before Phase N."
2. **Audit pre-check** (per site, before migration): Capture the site's category BEFORE migration. Capture in commit body.
3. **Red** (1 commit per site): Write the unit test in `tests/test_baseline_result.py`. Run test — MUST FAIL. Commit.
4. **Green** (1 commit per site): Migrate the site. Use the `_result` helper convention. Run test — MUST PASS. Commit.
5. **Audit post-check** (per site, after migration): Same command. Confirm the site moved out of the violation category. Capture in commit body.
6. **Phase invariant test** (1 commit at end of phase): `test_phase_N_<file>_<phase>_invariant` verifies the per-phase count drop.
7. **If a site "resists migration":** DO NOT invent a heuristic. Report to the user (Tier 1). The user decides whether to fix forward or defer.
8. **Per-file atomic commits:** 1 site = 1 commit (per `workflow.md` "ATOMIC PER-TASK COMMITS").
---
## File Structure
**Files modified (3):**
- `src/mcp_client.py` — 46 migration sites (40 broad-catch + 5 silent-swallow + 1 UNCLEAR)
- `src/ai_client.py` — 33 migration sites (17 broad-catch + 9 silent-swallow + 7 rethrow)
- `src/rag_engine.py` — 9 migration sites (5 broad-catch + 1 silent-swallow + 3 rethrow)
- `conductor/tracks.md` — new track row (Phase 0)
- `conductor/tracks/result_migration_baseline_cleanup_20260620/state.toml` — task statuses
**Files created (5):**
- `tests/test_baseline_result.py` — 88 site tests + 14 invariant tests = ≥102 tests
- `docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_result_migration_baseline_cleanup_20260620.md` — end-of-track report (Phase 14)
- `tests/artifacts/PHASE1_AUDIT_BASELINE.json` — baseline audit JSON
- `tests/artifacts/PHASE1_SITE_INVENTORY_mcp_client.md` — 46-row inventory
- `tests/artifacts/PHASE1_SITE_INVENTORY_ai_client.md` — 33-row inventory
- `tests/artifacts/PHASE1_SITE_INVENTORY_rag_engine.md` — 9-row inventory
**Files NOT modified:**
- `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py` — the audit heuristic is correct (sub-track 3 Phase 7 + sub-track 4 Phase 11/12); do not change
- `tests/test_audit_heuristics.py` — the 8 regression-guard tests are correct; do not change
- `src/result_types.py` — the `Result[T]` dataclass is the convention reference; do not change
- `src/app_controller.py` — the data plane is correct from sub-track 3 Phase 6; this track only consumes the convention
---
## Migration Pattern (used by Phases 3-13)
Every migration follows this pattern. The `_result` helper convention (matches mcp_client + ai_client + rag_engine existing style):
```python
# BEFORE (in src/mcp_client.py, src/ai_client.py, or src/rag_engine.py)
def _do_x(...):
try:
result = do_something()
return result
except Exception as e:
sys.stderr.write(f"Error: {e}\n") # SLIMING: logging-only, NOT a drain
return None # or return default
# AFTER
def _do_x_result(...) -> Result[T]:
"""Drain-aware variant of _do_x. Returns Result[T] so caller can check .ok."""
try:
result = do_something()
return Result(data=result)
except Exception as e:
return Result(data=<zero-value>, errors=[ErrorInfo(
kind=ErrorKind.INTERNAL, message=str(e),
source="<file>._do_x_result", original=e,
)])
def _do_x(...):
"""Legacy wrapper. Checks .ok; caller decides how to handle the error."""
result = _do_x_result(...)
if not result.ok:
# Caller-specific error handling:
# - mcp_client tools: return the error in the tool's result
# - ai_client providers: return Result(data=fallback) or propagate
# - rag_engine: append to controller's _last_request_errors or similar
return <caller-specific-fallback>
return result.data
```
The unit test pattern:
```python
def test_<site>_returns_result_on_success():
"""Migrated helper returns Result.ok=True on success."""
from src.<file> import _<site>_result
# Build mock inputs that make the inner call succeed
result = _<site>_result(<args>)
assert result.ok
assert result.data == <expected>
assert result.errors == []
def test_<site>_returns_result_with_error_on_failure():
"""Migrated helper returns Result.ok=False with ErrorInfo on failure."""
from src.<file> import _<site>_result
# Build mock inputs that make the inner call fail
result = _<site>_result(<args>)
assert not result.ok
assert result.errors
assert result.errors[0].kind == ErrorKind.INTERNAL
assert result.errors[0].source == "<file>._<site>_result"
def test_<site>_legacy_wrapper_handles_error():
"""Legacy wrapper handles Result.ok=False correctly."""
from src.<file> import _<site>
result = _<site>(<args>)
# Assert the wrapper returns the expected fallback (or propagates the error)
assert result == <expected_fallback_or_None>
```
---
## Phase 0: Setup + Styleguide Re-Read (3 tasks)
**Focus:** Initialize the track, update tracks.md, Tier 2 reads the styleguide end-to-end, acknowledge in commit message.
### Task 0.1: Update `conductor/tracks.md`
**Files:**
- Modify: `conductor/tracks.md` (add new row after sub-track 4 row 6d-4)
- [ ] **Step 1: Find the sub-track 4 row**
```bash
grep -n "result_migration_gui_2_20260619" conductor/tracks.md | head -3
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Add the new row after sub-track 4**
Insert in the "Active Tracks (Current Queue)" table (between row 6d-4 and row 6e):
```
| 6d-5 | A | [Result Migration Sub-Track 5: Baseline Cleanup](#track-result-migration-baseline-cleanup-20260620) | spec ✓, plan pending, **ready to start** | `result_migration_gui_2_20260619` (sub-track 4, SHIPPED 2026-06-20) |
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add conductor/tracks.md
git commit -m "conductor(tracks): add result_migration_baseline_cleanup_20260620 row"
```
### Task 0.2: Tier 2 reads the styleguide end-to-end
**Files:** (no file changes; verification is the commit message)
- [ ] **Step 1: Read `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md` end-to-end** (989 lines)
All sections: 5 Patterns + Data Model + Decision Tree + Anti-Patterns + Examples + Hard Rules + When to Use + Boundary Types + **Drain Points (lines 356-516)** + Broad-Except Distinction (lines 520-540) + Constructors Can Raise + **Re-Raise Patterns (lines 625-690)** + Audit Script + Migration Playbook + AI Agent Checklist (lines 809-940).
- [ ] **Step 2: Acknowledge the read in an empty commit**
```bash
git commit --allow-empty -m "chore: TIER-2 READ conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md end-to-end before Phase 0"
```
### Task 0.3: Phase 0 checkpoint
- [ ] **Step 1: Create empty commit marking Phase 0 complete**
```bash
git commit --allow-empty -m "conductor(plan): mark Phase 0 complete (setup + styleguide re-read)"
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Update state.toml Phase 0 status** (created in metadata task at end of track init; for now just leave as pending)
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit the state.toml + tracks.md changes together at end of track initialization**
---
## Phase 1: 3-File Inventory + Classification (4 tasks)
**Focus:** Run the audit on all 3 baseline files; walk every finding; classify each of the 88 migration-target sites into 3 inventory docs.
### Task 1.1: Run the audit + capture JSON
- [ ] **Step 1: Run the audit and save JSON**
```bash
uv run python scripts/audit_exception_handling.py --include-baseline --json > tests/artifacts/PHASE1_AUDIT_BASELINE.json
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Verify the JSON was generated and the counts match the spec**
```bash
uv run python -c "
import json
data = json.load(open('tests/artifacts/PHASE1_AUDIT_BASELINE.json'))
for f in data['files']:
if 'mcp_client' in f.get('filename', ''):
print(f'mcp_client.py: V={f[\"violation_count\"]} S={f[\"suspicious_count\"]} ?={f[\"unclear_count\"]}')
elif 'ai_client' in f.get('filename', ''):
print(f'ai_client.py: V={f[\"violation_count\"]} S={f[\"suspicious_count\"]} ?={f[\"unclear_count\"]}')
elif 'rag_engine' in f.get('filename', ''):
print(f'rag_engine.py: V={f[\"violation_count\"]} S={f[\"suspicious_count\"]} ?={f[\"unclear_count\"]}')
"
```
Expected: `mcp_client.py: V=45 S=0 ?=1` / `ai_client.py: V=26 S=7 ?=0` / `rag_engine.py: V=6 S=3 ?=0`
### Task 1.2: Walk the audit + write the 3 inventory docs
**Files:**
- Create: `tests/artifacts/PHASE1_SITE_INVENTORY_mcp_client.md`
- Create: `tests/artifacts/PHASE1_SITE_INVENTORY_ai_client.md`
- Create: `tests/artifacts/PHASE1_SITE_INVENTORY_rag_engine.md`
- [ ] **Step 1: Extract migration-target sites per file**
```bash
uv run python -c "
import json
data = json.load(open('tests/artifacts/PHASE1_AUDIT_BASELINE.json'))
for fname in ['mcp_client', 'ai_client', 'rag_engine']:
f = next((x for x in data['files'] if fname in x.get('filename', '')), None)
if not f: continue
findings = f['findings']
migration = [x for x in findings if x.get('category') in ('INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH', 'INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW', 'INTERNAL_RETHROW', 'UNCLEAR')]
print(f'=== {fname}.py: {len(migration)} migration targets ===')
for m in migration:
print(f\"L{m['line']}: [{m['category']}]\")
" > tests/artifacts/PHASE1_MIGRATION_TARGETS.txt
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Verify the counts are 46 + 33 + 9 = 88**
```bash
grep "migration targets" tests/artifacts/PHASE1_MIGRATION_TARGETS.txt
```
Expected: 3 lines with counts 46, 33, 9.
- [ ] **Step 3: For each file, write the inventory entry**
For each migration-target site, read the code around the line and write to the per-file inventory doc. Use the format:
```markdown
# Phase 1 Site Inventory — mcp_client.py
# (or ai_client.py / rag_engine.py)
| Line | Category | Current code (5 lines around) | Target migration | Drain point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L<line> | <category> | <code excerpt> | <pattern> | <caller> |
| ... |
```
For "Target migration", reference the per-phase pattern (e.g., "Batch A tool broad-catch" for Phase 3-7 sites, "silent-swallow → Result[T]" for Phase 8/11 sites, "Pattern 1/2/3 classification or migrate" for Phase 12 sites).
For "Drain point" (backend services), specify the caller:
- `MMA worker` (multi-agent conductor)
- `mcp_client tool caller` (MCP tool invocation)
- `AI client SDK boundary` (the vendor SDK's caller)
- `RAG engine caller` (the controller's RAG state)

```
---
## Phase 2: Audit Gate Baseline (2 tasks)
**Focus:** Capture the baseline audit counts in 3 Phase 2 invariant tests. These tests will be REUSED (with relaxed assertions) in each phase to verify the per-phase count drop.
### Task 2.1: Add Phase 2 invariant tests (baseline count capture)
**Files:**
- Modify: `tests/test_baseline_result.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Append Phase 2 invariant tests**
```python
def test_phase_2_invariant_mcp_client_baseline_captured():
"""Phase 2 invariant: mcp_client baseline violation count is captured (>= 45 V + 0 S + 1 ?)."""
data = _load_baseline_audit()
files = {f["filename"]: f for f in data["files"]}
mcp = files.get("src\\mcp_client.py") or files.get("src/mcp_client.py")
assert mcp["violation_count"] >= 45, f"mcp_client baseline V should be >= 45, got {mcp['violation_count']}"
def test_phase_2_invariant_ai_client_baseline_captured():
"""Phase 2 invariant: ai_client baseline violation count is captured (>= 26 V + 7 S + 0 ?)."""
data = _load_baseline_audit()
files = {f["filename"]: f for f in data["files"]}
ai = files.get("src\\ai_client.py") or files.get("src/ai_client.py")
assert ai["violation_count"] >= 26, f"ai_client baseline V should be >= 26, got {ai['violation_count']}"
assert ai["suspicious_count"] >= 7, f"ai_client baseline S should be >= 7, got {ai['suspicious_count']}"
def test_phase_2_invariant_rag_engine_baseline_captured():
"""Phase 2 invariant: rag_engine baseline violation count is captured (>= 6 V + 3 S)."""
data = _load_baseline_audit()
files = {f["filename"]: f for f in data["files"]}
rag = files.get("src\\rag_engine.py") or files.get("src/rag_engine.py")
assert rag["violation_count"] >= 6, f"rag_engine baseline V should be >= 6, got {rag['violation_count']}"
assert rag["suspicious_count"] >= 3, f"rag_engine baseline S should be >= 3, got {rag['suspicious_count']}"
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run all tests (Phase 1 + Phase 2)**
```bash
uv run python -m pytest tests/test_baseline_result.py -v
```
Expected: 7 PASSED
- [ ] **Step 3: Update state.toml Phase 2**
```toml
phase_2 = { status = "completed", checkpointsha = "<commit_sha>", name = "Audit gate baseline (3 files; counts captured)" }
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add tests/test_baseline_result.py conductor/tracks/result_migration_baseline_cleanup_20260620/state.toml
git commit -m "conductor(plan): mark Phase 2 complete (audit gate baseline + 3 invariant tests)"
```
---
## Phases 3-7: mcp_client.py Batches A-E (40 broad-catches, 5 batches × ≤8 sites)
**Focus:** Each batch migrates ≤8 mcp_client.py broad-catch sites using the standard `_result` helper pattern. Use the Phase 1 inventory to find the line numbers.
### Task 3.0: Phase 3 styleguide re-read + ack
- [ ] **Step 1: Re-read `error_handling.md` lines 462-540 (logging NOT a drain + Broad-Except table)**
- [ ] **Step 2: Ack commit**
```bash
git commit --allow-empty -m "chore: TIER-2 READ conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md lines 462-540 (logging NOT a drain) before Phase 3"
```
### Task 3.1-3.8: Migrate Batch A sites (≤8 mcp_client broad-catch sites)
For each site in the batch (use the Phase 1 inventory for line numbers):
- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing test** (with site name + line number; see migration pattern above)
- [ ] **Step 2: Run test, verify FAIL**
- [ ] **Step 3: Migrate** (extract `_result` helper + legacy wrapper per the migration pattern)
- [ ] **Step 4: Run test, verify PASS**
- [ ] **Step 5: Audit pre/post check** (capture in commit body)
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit** (one per site; format: `refactor(mcp_client): migrate L<line> _<feature> to Result[T] (Phase 3)`)
If a batch has fewer than 8 sites, the remaining tasks are skipped (not "filled in" with made-up sites).
### Task 3.9: Phase 3 invariant test + checkpoint
- [ ] **Step 1: Add Phase 3 invariant test** (Batch A mcp_client broad-catch count dropped)
```python
def test_phase_3_invariant_mcp_client_batch_a_dropped():
"""Phase 3 invariant: Batch A sites moved out of INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH in mcp_client."""
data = _load_baseline_audit()
files = {f["filename"]: f for f in data["files"]}
mcp = files.get("src\\mcp_client.py") or files.get("src/mcp_client.py")
# Replace <BATCH_A_LINES> with the actual list (e.g., [123, 456, 789])
batch_a_lines = <BATCH_A_LINES>
remaining_in_v = [
f for f in mcp["findings"]
if f.get("line") in batch_a_lines and f.get("category") == "INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH"
]
assert not remaining_in_v, (
f"Phase 3 Batch A sites still in INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH: {[(f['line'], f['category']) for f in remaining_in_v]}"
)
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Update state.toml Phase 3 + commit**
```toml
phase_3 = { status = "completed", checkpointsha = "<commit_sha>", name = "mcp_client Batch A (<=8 sites)" }
```
```bash
git add tests/test_baseline_result.py conductor/tracks/result_migration_baseline_cleanup_20260620/state.toml
git commit -m "conductor(plan): mark Phase 3 complete (mcp_client Batch A)"
```
### Tasks 4.0-4.9 / 5.0-5.9 / 6.0-6.9 / 7.0-7.9: Phases 4-7 (Batches B-E)
Same structure as Phase 3. Each phase:
- Styleguide re-read (ack commit)
- ≤8 site migrations (per-site: test, migrate, audit, commit)
- Phase invariant test
- Phase checkpoint
---
## Phase 8: mcp_client.py Silent-Swallow + UNCLEAR (5 + 1 = ≤6 sites)
**Focus:** The 5 INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW sites (logging-only except bodies) and 1 UNCLEAR site. Per the user's principle (2026-06-17), logging is NOT a drain. NO narrowing+logging; full `Result[T]` propagation.
### Task 8.0: Phase 8 styleguide re-read (CRITICAL anti-sliming)
- [ ] **Step 1: Re-read `error_handling.md` lines 462-540 + lines 809-940 (AI Agent Checklist)**
- [ ] **Step 2: Ack commit (explicitly call out the sliming risk)**
```bash
git commit --allow-empty -m "chore: TIER-2 READ conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md lines 462-940 before Phase 8 — NO silent recovery, NO narrowing+logging"
```
### Tasks 8.1-8.6: Migrate sites
For each of the 6 sites (5 silent-swallow + 1 UNCLEAR):
- Same migration pattern (test, migrate, audit, commit)
- The except body MUST return `Result(data=<zero>, errors=[ErrorInfo(original=e)])`
- NO `logging.error(...)` in except body
- NO `sys.stderr.write(...)` in except body
- NO `pass` in except body
### Task 8.7: Phase 8 invariant + checkpoint
```python
def test_phase_8_invariant_mcp_client_silent_swallow_zero():
"""Phase 8 invariant: 0 INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW sites in mcp_client."""
data = _load_baseline_audit()
files = {f["filename"]: f for f in data["files"]}
mcp = files.get("src\\mcp_client.py") or files.get("src/mcp_client.py")
silent = [f for f in mcp["findings"] if f.get("category") == "INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW"]
assert not silent, f"Expected 0 INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW, found {len(silent)}: {[f['line'] for f in silent]}"
unclear = [f for f in mcp["findings"] if f.get("category") == "UNCLEAR"]
assert not unclear, f"Expected 0 UNCLEAR, found {len(unclear)}: {[f['line'] for f in unclear]}"
```
---
## Phases 9-10: ai_client.py Batches A-B (17 broad-catches, 2 batches)
Same structure as Phases 3-7 (mcp_client batches). Per-site: test, migrate, audit, commit. Per-phase: invariant test + checkpoint.
### Task 9.0: Phase 9 styleguide re-read + ack
### Tasks 9.1-9.8: Migrate Batch A (≤8 sites)
### Task 9.9: Phase 9 invariant + checkpoint
### Task 10.0: Phase 10 styleguide re-read + ack
### Tasks 10.1-10.8: Migrate Batch B (≤8 sites; some may be silent-swallow or rethrow — see Phase 1 inventory)
### Task 10.9: Phase 10 invariant + checkpoint
---
## Phase 11: ai_client.py Silent-Swallow (9 sites)
**Focus:** The 9 INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW sites in ai_client. Per the user's principle (logging NOT a drain), NO narrowing+logging; full `Result[T]` propagation.
### Task 11.0: Phase 11 styleguide re-read (CRITICAL anti-sliming)
### Tasks 11.1-11.9: Migrate 9 sites
### Task 11.10: Phase 11 invariant + checkpoint
```python
def test_phase_11_invariant_ai_client_silent_swallow_zero():
"""Phase 11 invariant: 0 INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW sites in ai_client."""
data = _load_baseline_audit()
files = {f["filename"]: f for f in data["files"]}
ai = files.get("src\\ai_client.py") or files.get("src/ai_client.py")
silent = [f for f in ai["findings"] if f.get("category") == "INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW"]
assert not silent, f"Expected 0 INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW, found {len(silent)}: {[f['line'] for f in silent]}"
```
---
## Phase 12: ai_client.py Rethrow Classification (7 sites)
**Focus:** The 7 INTERNAL_RETHROW sites. Classify per Pattern 1/2/3 from `error_handling.md:625-690`. If a site does not fit any pattern, MIGRATE to `Result[T]`. Do NOT classify as "suspicious" (= sliming).
### Task 12.0: Phase 12 styleguide re-read (Re-Raise Patterns lines 625-690) + ack
### Tasks 12.1-12.7: Classify each rethrow site (or migrate)
For each site:
- Read the site code
- Determine which of the 3 patterns it fits (or "does not fit → migrate")
- If compliant: add a comment explaining which pattern
- If not compliant: use the standard migration pattern
- Per-site: test (if migrated), commit
### Task 12.8: Phase 12 invariant + checkpoint
```python
def test_phase_12_invariant_ai_client_rethrow_zero():
"""Phase 12 invariant: 0 INTERNAL_RETHROW sites in ai_client."""
data = _load_baseline_audit()
files = {f["filename"]: f for f in data["files"]}
ai = files.get("src\\ai_client.py") or files.get("src/ai_client.py")
rethrow = [f for f in ai["findings"] if f.get("category") == "INTERNAL_RETHROW"]
assert not rethrow, f"Expected 0 INTERNAL_RETHROW, found {len(rethrow)}: {[f['line'] for f in rethrow]}"
```
---
## Phase 13: rag_engine.py Migration (1 silent-swallow + 5 broad-catch + 3 rethrow = 9 sites)
**Focus:** The 9 sites in rag_engine (the smallest baseline file). Single phase since 9 sites fit comfortably.
### Task 13.0: Phase 13 styleguide re-read + ack
### Tasks 13.1-13.9: Migrate all 9 sites
For each site:
- The 5 broad-catch: standard `_result` helper pattern
- The 1 silent-swallow: full `Result[T]` propagation (NO narrowing+logging)
- The 3 rethrow: classify per Pattern 1/2/3 or migrate
### Task 13.10: Phase 13 invariant + checkpoint
```python
def test_phase_13_invariant_rag_engine_zero_violations():
"""Phase 13 invariant: 0 migration-target violations in rag_engine."""
data = _load_baseline_audit()
files = {f["filename"]: f for f in data["files"]}
rag = files.get("src\\rag_engine.py") or files.get("src/rag_engine.py")
migration = [f for f in rag["findings"] if f.get("category") in (
"INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH", "INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW", "INTERNAL_RETHROW", "UNCLEAR"
)]
assert not migration, f"Expected 0 migration-target sites, found {len(migration)}: {[(f['line'], f['category']) for f in migration]}"
```
---
## Phase 14: Audit Gate + End-of-Track Report (5 tasks)
**Focus:** Verify all gates, run the full batched suite, write the report, mark the track complete, update umbrella.
### Task 14.1: Run the strict audit gate
- [ ] **Step 1: Run the strict audit**
```bash
uv run python scripts/audit_exception_handling.py --include-baseline --strict
```
Expected: exit 0; 0 violations across the 3 baseline files
### Task 14.2: Run the unit tests
- [ ] **Step 1: Run all baseline tests**
```bash
uv run python -m pytest tests/test_baseline_result.py -v
```
Expected: ≥102 tests PASSED (88 site + 14 invariant)
### Task 14.3: Run the 11-tier batched suite
- [ ] **Step 1: Run the fixed batched script**
```bash
uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py
```
Expected: 11/11 tiers PASS
- [ ] **Step 2: If any tier fails, save the log to `tests/artifacts/PHASE14_TEST_RUN_<timestamp>.log` and report**
### Task 14.4: Write the end-of-track report
**Files:**
- Create: `docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_result_migration_baseline_cleanup_20260620.md`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the report (template below)**

## Self-Review
**1. Spec coverage:** All 15 VCs in spec.md §8 are covered by tasks in this plan. VC-1 (audit --strict) is Task 14.1. VC-2 (0 INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH) is Phases 3-7 + 9-10 + 13. VC-3 (0 INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW) is Phases 8 + 11 + 13. VC-4 (0 INTERNAL_RETHROW) is Phases 12 + 13. VC-5 (0 UNCLEAR) is Phase 8. VC-6 (4 BOUNDARY_SDK preserved) — no action needed; verify in Phase 14 invariant. VC-7 (9 INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE preserved) — no action needed; verify in Phase 14. VC-8 (≥102 tests) is per-phase test additions. VC-9 (11/11 tiers) is Task 14.3. VC-10 (per-phase audit gates) is per-phase invariant tests. VC-11 (14 styleguide-ack commits) is per-phase Task 0. VC-12 (≥110 commits) is per-site commits. VC-13 (report) is Task 14.4. VC-14 (tracks.md) is Task 14.5. VC-15 (umbrella count) is Task 14.5.
**2. Placeholder scan:** No "TBD", "TODO", "implement later", "fill in details" in this plan. All migration patterns show concrete code. All tasks show concrete commands. The `<BATCH_A_LINES>` placeholder in Task 3.9 is a list that gets populated by the inventory (not a code-level placeholder).
**3. Type consistency:** `Result[bool]` / `Result[None]` / `Result[T]` used consistently across all migration tasks. `ErrorInfo(kind=ErrorKind.INTERNAL, message=str(e), source=..., original=e)` consistent with the convention. `tests/test_baseline_result.py` test names consistent with the per-phase pattern.
**4. Anti-sliming protocol:** Enforced via (a) styleguide re-read at start of every phase, (b) per-site audit pre/post check, (c) per-phase invariant test, (d) per-file atomic commits, (e) explicit instruction in Phase 8 (mcp_client silent-swallow) and Phase 11 (ai_client silent-swallow) that narrowing+logging is forbidden, (f) explicit instruction in Phase 12 (ai_client rethrow) that classify-as-suspicious is forbidden.
**5. Migration pattern consistency:** All migration tasks use the same `_result` helper pattern shown in the "Migration Pattern" section. This matches the existing convention in mcp_client + ai_client + rag_engine (per `data_oriented_error_handling_20260606`).

# Track Specification: Result Migration — Sub-Track 5 (Baseline Cleanup)
**Track ID:** `result_migration_baseline_cleanup_20260620`
**Status:** Active (spec approved 2026-06-20)
**Priority:** A (closes the gaps in the convention reference; makes the baseline 100% convention-compliant)
**Owner:** Tier 2 Tech Lead
**Type:** refactor (14 phases; anti-sliming protocol enforced per phase — same template as sub-track 4)
**Scope:** 88 migration sites across 3 source files (`mcp_client.py` 83KB, `ai_client.py` 137KB, `rag_engine.py` 11KB) + 1 new test file
**Parent tracks:** `result_migration_20260616` (umbrella), `result_migration_gui_2_20260619` (sub-track 4, SHIPPED 2026-06-20), `result_migration_app_controller_20260618` (sub-track 3, SHIPPED 2026-06-19 with Phase 7), `result_migration_small_files_20260617` (sub-track 2, SHIPPED 2026-06-18), `result_migration_review_pass_20260617` (sub-track 1, SHIPPED 2026-06-17), `data_oriented_error_handling_20260606` (convention ancestor, SHIPPED 2026-06-12)
> **Note on effort estimates:** per Tier 1 rules (see `conductor/workflow.md` §"Tier 1 Track Initialization Rules"), this spec does NOT include day estimates. Effort is measured by scope (N files, M sites, N phases). The user / Tier 2 agent decides the actual pacing.
---
## 0. TL;DR
This is sub-track 5 of the 5-sub-track `result_migration_20260616` umbrella. It migrates the 3 baseline files (`mcp_client.py`, `ai_client.py`, `rag_engine.py`) — the convention reference files — to be 100% convention-compliant. The umbrella originally estimated 112 sites at T-shirt L; the current audit shows 88 migration-target sites (45 V + 26 V + 6 V; 5 S + 9 S + 3 S; 1 UNCLEAR) across the 3 files. 41 sites stay as-is (4 BOUNDARY_SDK + 9 INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE + 28 INTERNAL_COMPLIANT).
**Why 14 phases (vs the umbrella's "1-2 phases"):** per the user's directive (2026-06-20), this track uses the **same anti-sliming template as sub-track 4** (which was the first sub-track to ship without error correction). The 14-phase structure caps each phase at ≤9 migration sites with explicit per-phase audit gates. Sub-track 4 shipped 42 sites in 13 phases with 0 sliming; sub-track 5 scales the same template to 88 sites in 3 files across 14 phases.
**What this track consumes from sub-tracks 1-4:**
- Sub-track 1's review pass: the 10 new audit heuristics (correctly classify most sites)
- Sub-track 3 Phase 7: the tightened `_is_fastapi_handler` BOUNDARY_FASTAPI heuristic
- Sub-track 4 Phase 11: the dunder-method bare-raise heuristic (5 INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE reclassifications)
- Sub-track 4 Phase 12: the lazy-loading sentinel fallback heuristic (1 UNCLEAR reclassification possible)
**What this track enables:** completion of the 5-sub-track campaign. After this track, the data-oriented `Result[T]` convention is **fully applied** to all 65 src/ files. The 3 baseline files become the **pure** convention reference.

## 1. Overview
### 1.1 The State Before This Track (as of 2026-06-20)
Per `uv run python scripts/audit_exception_handling.py --include-baseline`:
```
src/mcp_client.py: V=45 S=0 ?=1 C=9 total=55
Categories: INTERNAL_COMPLIANT: 9, INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW: 5, INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH: 40, UNCLEAR: 1
src/ai_client.py: V=26 S=7 ?=0 C=26 total=59
Categories: BOUNDARY_SDK: 4, INTERNAL_RETHROW: 7, INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW: 9, INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH: 17,
INTERNAL_COMPLIANT: 17, INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE: 4, BOUNDARY_CONVERSION: 1
src/rag_engine.py: V=6 S=3 ?=0 C=6 total=15
Categories: INTERNAL_RETHROW: 3, INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE: 5, INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH: 5,
INTERNAL_COMPLIANT: 1, INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW: 1
```
**Migration target: 88 sites** (62 INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH + 15 INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW + 10 INTERNAL_RETHROW + 1 UNCLEAR; V=77 includes both broad-catch + silent-swallow per audit classification, S=10 is rethrow, ?=1 is unclear). 41 sites stay as-is: 4 BOUNDARY_SDK (ai_client's vendor SDK boundaries), 9 INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE (5 in rag_engine from sub-track 4 Phase 11 dunder-method heuristic + 4 in ai_client), 28 INTERNAL_COMPLIANT.
### 1.2 The Goal
Migrate all 88 migration-target sites to the data-oriented `Result[T]` convention, using the established `_result` helper convention. After this track ships:
- 0 `INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH` in the 3 baseline files (was 62: 40 + 17 + 5).
- 0 `INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW` in the 3 baseline files (was 15: 5 + 9 + 1).
- 0 `INTERNAL_RETHROW` in the 3 baseline files (was 10: 0 + 7 + 3) — classified per Pattern 1/2/3 from `error_handling.md`.
- 0 `UNCLEAR` in the 3 baseline files (was 1: 1 + 0 + 0) — classified or migrated.
- `audit_exception_handling.py --include-baseline --strict` exits 0.
- 11-tier batched test suite passes with no new regressions.
### 1.3 The 14-Phase Structure (Anti-Sliming Protocol)
| Phase | Scope | Sites | Tests | Audit gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Setup + styleguide re-read | 0 | 0 | n/a |
| 1 | 3-file inventory + classification | 0 | 0 (3 inventory docs) | 3 inventory docs committed |
| 2 | Audit gate baseline capture | 0 | 3 (1 invariant per file) | baseline counts captured |
| 3 | mcp_client Batch A (tool broad-catches) | ≤8 | ≤8 | mcp_client V drops by batch A |
| 4 | mcp_client Batch B (tool broad-catches) | ≤8 | ≤8 | mcp_client V drops by batch B |
| 5 | mcp_client Batch C (tool broad-catches) | ≤8 | ≤8 | mcp_client V drops by batch C |
| 6 | mcp_client Batch D (tool broad-catches) | ≤8 | ≤8 | mcp_client V drops by batch D |
| 7 | mcp_client Batch E (tool broad-catches) | ≤8 | ≤8 | mcp_client V drops by batch E |
| 8 | mcp_client silent-swallow + UNCLEAR (5 + 1) | ≤6 | ≤6 | mcp_client S + ? drops to 0 |
| 9 | ai_client Batch A (broad-catch) | ≤8 | ≤8 | ai_client V drops by batch A |
| 10 | ai_client Batch B (broad-catch) | ≤8 | ≤8 | ai_client V drops by batch B |
| 11 | ai_client silent-swallow (9) | ≤9 | ≤9 | ai_client S drops by 9 |
| 12 | ai_client rethrow classification (7) | ≤7 | ≤7 | ai_client S drops to 0 |
| 13 | rag_engine migration (1 silent-swallow + 5 broad-catch + 3 rethrow) | ≤9 | ≤9 | rag_engine V + S → 0 |
| 14 | Audit gate + end-of-track report | 0 | 1 invariant | `--include-baseline --strict` exits 0; 11/11 tiers PASS |
**Total: 14 phases, 88 migration sites + 14 invariant tests + 88+ site tests + 3 inventory docs + 1 report.**
**No phase has more than 9 migration sites.** The sliming-prone phases are:
- Phase 8 (mcp_client silent-swallow + UNCLEAR) — per user principle (logging NOT a drain)
- Phase 11 (ai_client silent-swallow) — same
- Phase 12 (ai_client rethrow) — if a site doesn't fit Pattern 1/2/3, MIGRATE not classify

## 2. Current State Audit (as of 2026-06-20)
### 2.1 Already Implemented (DO NOT re-implement)
| Item | Location | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `Result[T]` dataclass | `src/result_types.py:91-105` | The data-oriented container |
| `ErrorInfo` + `ErrorKind` | `src/result_types.py:117-130` | The canonical error type |
| Audit script + 5 drain-point heuristics | `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py:1-1100` | The gate (incl. sub-track 3 Phase 7 + sub-track 4 Phase 11/12 heuristics) |
| 45+ tool function `_result` helpers (incomplete) | `src/mcp_client.py` (partial) | Tool functions return `Result[T]` (per `data_oriented_error_handling_20260606`) |
| `_send_<vendor>_result` helpers (incomplete) | `src/ai_client.py` (partial) | Vendor SDK boundaries (per the convention) |
| `_validate_collection_dim_result`, `is_empty_result`, `add_documents_result` | `src/rag_engine.py` (partial) | RAG engine (per the convention) |
| 5 dunder-method regression-guard tests | `tests/test_audit_heuristics.py` | Lock Phase 11 heuristic |
| 3 lazy-loading regression-guard tests | `tests/test_audit_heuristics.py` | Lock Phase 12 heuristic |
| 4 BOUNDARY_SDK sites in `ai_client.py` | `src/ai_client.py` | Vendor SDK boundaries (legitimate) |
| 9 INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE sites | `src/ai_client.py` (4) + `src/rag_engine.py` (5) | Bare raises in dunder methods (legitimate per Phase 11 heuristic) |
| `error_handling.md` Drain Points + Broad-Except table | `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md:356-540` | The 5 drain patterns + the logging-NOT-drain rule |
| `error_handling.md` AI Agent Checklist | `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md:809-940` | 5 MUST-DO + 7 MUST-NOT-DO rules |
### 2.2 Gaps to Fill (This Track's Scope)
**88 migration-target sites across 3 files:**
- **mcp_client.py (46 sites):** 40 INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH (tool function broad-catches per umbrella "Path C deferred work") + 5 INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW (logging-only except bodies) + 1 UNCLEAR (needs classification)
- **ai_client.py (33 sites):** 17 INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH (multi-provider broad-catches) + 9 INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW (logging-only) + 7 INTERNAL_RETHROW (need Pattern 1/2/3 classification)
- **rag_engine.py (9 sites):** 5 INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH + 1 INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW + 3 INTERNAL_RETHROW
**Infrastructure gaps:** 0 (the 3 baseline files are backend services; no new render functions needed; the existing `_result` helper convention is the data plane).
**Test gaps:** 1 new test file `tests/test_baseline_result.py` with 88+ site tests + 14 invariant tests.
---
## 3. Goals
### 3.1 Primary Goal
Migrate all 88 migration-target sites across the 3 baseline files to the data-oriented `Result[T]` convention, using the established `_result` helper convention (per `data_oriented_error_handling_20260606`).
### 3.2 Secondary Goals
1. **Verify per-phase audit gates**: each phase's invariant test shows the expected count drop.
2. **No new regressions**: 11/11 batched test tiers PASS; existing baseline tests (`test_mcp_client_whitelist_enforcement.py`, `test_ai_client.py`, `test_rag_engine.py`) continue to pass.
3. **Per-site unit tests**: 1 test per migrated site (≥88) + 1 invariant test per phase (14).
4. **No sliming**: per-phase protocol with styleguide re-read + audit gate (same as sub-track 4).
5. **Classify don't classify-as-suspicious**: the 10 INTERNAL_RETHROW sites must be classified per Pattern 1/2/3 from `error_handling.md:625-690` or migrated to `Result[T]`.
### 3.3 Non-Goals
- Adding new error sites (this track migrates EXISTING sites only).
- Changing the audit heuristic (sub-track 3 Phase 7 + sub-track 4 Phase 11/12 heuristics are correct).
- Removing the legacy wrappers (the sub-track 3 Phase 6 Group 6.3 pattern preserves them).
- Migrating the 41 sites that stay as-is (4 BOUNDARY_SDK + 9 INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE + 28 INTERNAL_COMPLIANT).
- Sub-track 4's drain plane (gui_2.py) — separate track, already shipped.
---
## 4. Functional Requirements
### 4.1 Phase 0 (Setup)
**FR0-1** Tier 2 reads `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md` end-to-end.
**FR0-2** Tier 2 acknowledges in commit message: "TIER-2 READ conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md end-to-end before Phase 0."
**FR0-3** `conductor/tracks.md` updated with new track row.
### 4.2 Phase 1 (Inventory)
**FR1-1** Run `uv run python scripts/audit_exception_handling.py --include-baseline --json > tests/artifacts/PHASE1_AUDIT_BASELINE.json`.
**FR1-2** Walk every finding; for the 88 migration-target sites, write 3 inventory docs:
- `tests/artifacts/PHASE1_SITE_INVENTORY_mcp_client.md` (46 rows)
- `tests/artifacts/PHASE1_SITE_INVENTORY_ai_client.md` (33 rows)
- `tests/artifacts/PHASE1_SITE_INVENTORY_rag_engine.md` (9 rows)
**FR1-3** Each row: line, category, current code (5 lines around), target migration, drain point.
**FR1-4** "Drain point" for backend services: the caller (MMA worker, mcp_client tool invocation, API hook).
### 4.3 Phase 2 (Audit Gate Baseline)
**FR2-1** Create `tests/test_baseline_result.py` with 3 Phase 2 invariant tests (one per file).
**FR2-2** Each invariant test asserts the baseline audit count for that file matches the pre-track numbers.
### 4.4 Phases 3-8 (mcp_client.py Migrations)
**FR3-FR8-1** For each of the 46 mcp_client.py sites, extract a `_<feature>_result(...) -> Result[T]` helper (per the mcp_client convention; e.g., `read_file_result`, `list_directory_result`).
**FR3-FR8-2** The except body returns `Result(data=<zero-value>, errors=[ErrorInfo(kind=ErrorKind.INTERNAL, message=str(e), source="mcp_client._<feature>_result", original=e)])`.
**FR3-FR8-3** The legacy wrapper checks `.ok` and either propagates the error or returns the data.
**FR3-FR8-4** No `logging.*` in except bodies (per user principle 2026-06-17).
**FR3-FR8-5** Per-site unit test in `tests/test_baseline_result.py` verifies the helper returns `Result.ok=True` on success and `Result.ok=False` with `ErrorInfo` on failure.
### 4.5 Phases 9-12 (ai_client.py Migrations)
**FR9-FR12-1** For each of the 33 ai_client.py sites, follow the same pattern as 4.4 but use the `_send_<vendor>_result` naming convention.
**FR9-FR12-2** The 4 BOUNDARY_SDK sites (vendor SDK boundaries) stay as-is.
**FR9-FR12-3** The 4 INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE sites stay as-is.
**FR9-FR12-4** For the 7 INTERNAL_RETHROW sites (Phase 12), classify per Pattern 1/2/3:
- Pattern 1: catch + convert + raise as different type (compliant if convert is meaningful)
- Pattern 2: catch + log + re-raise (compliant if log provides value)
- Pattern 3: catch + cleanup + re-raise via try/finally (compliant)
**FR9-FR12-5** If a site does not fit any pattern, MIGRATE to `Result[T]`. Do NOT classify as "suspicious" (= sliming).
### 4.6 Phase 13 (rag_engine.py Migrations)
**FR13-1** For each of the 9 rag_engine.py sites, follow the same pattern as 4.4 but use the rag_engine convention (`is_empty_result`, `_validate_collection_dim_result`, etc.).
**FR13-2** The 5 INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE sites stay as-is (per sub-track 4 Phase 11 heuristic).
**FR13-3** The 3 INTERNAL_RETHROW sites classified per Pattern 1/2/3 (same as 4.5.4).
### 4.7 Phase 14 (Audit Gate + Report)
**FR14-1** Run `uv run python scripts/audit_exception_handling.py --include-baseline --strict` — verify exit 0.
**FR14-2** Run `uv run python -m pytest tests/test_baseline_result.py -v` — verify all pass.
**FR14-3** Run `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py` — verify 11/11 tiers PASS.
**FR14-4** Write `docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_result_migration_baseline_cleanup_20260620.md`.
**FR14-5** Update `conductor/tracks.md` row to "shipped".
**FR14-6** Update umbrella spec count (campaign 100% complete).
---
## 5. Non-Functional Requirements
- **NFR-1** `audit_exception_handling.py --include-baseline --strict` exits 0 at end of Phase 14.
- **NFR-2** 11-tier batched test suite passes with no new regressions.
- **NFR-3** All new code uses 1-space indentation per `product-guidelines.md`.
- **NFR-4** Per-file atomic commits (1 site = 1 commit) per `workflow.md`.
- **NFR-5** Every migration phase's commit message includes "TIER-2 READ conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md end-to-end before Phase N" per the AI Agent Checklist.
- **NFR-6** No diagnostic noise in production code.
- **NFR-7** No `@pytest.mark.skip` markers added.
- **NFR-8** No new `Optional[T]` return types (the convention's `Result[T]` ban).
- **NFR-9** No new `try/except` sites with logging-only except bodies (the sliming pattern).

---
## 7. Per-Phase Migration Strategy
The same anti-sliming protocol as sub-track 4 (which the user praised as "the first to not need error correction"):
1. **Pre-phase styleguide re-read** (commit 1 of the phase): Read `error_handling.md` end-to-end. Commit message: "TIER-2 READ conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md end-to-end before Phase N."
2. **Audit pre-check** (per site, before migration): Run the audit JSON; confirm the site's category BEFORE migration. Capture in commit body.
3. **Red** (1 commit per site): Write the unit test in `tests/test_baseline_result.py`. Run test — must FAIL. Commit.
4. **Green** (1 commit per site): Migrate the site. Use the `_result` helper convention. Run test — must PASS. Commit.
5. **Audit post-check** (per site, after migration): Same command. Confirm the site moved out of the violation category. Capture in commit body.
6. **Phase invariant test** (1 commit at end of phase): `test_phase_N_<file>_<phase>_invariant` verifies the per-phase count drop.
7. **Per-file atomic commits:** 1 site = 1 commit.
If a site "resists migration" in any phase, Tier 2 MUST report — not invent a heuristic.
### 7.1 Phase 0: Setup + Styleguide Re-Read
3 tasks: tracks.md update; styleguide read + ack commit; Phase 0 checkpoint.
### 7.2 Phase 1: 3-File Inventory
3 tasks: run audit; write 3 inventory docs; commit.
### 7.3 Phase 2: Audit Gate Baseline
2 tasks: create test file with 3 Phase 2 invariants; Phase 2 checkpoint.
### 7.4 Phases 3-7: mcp_client.py Batches A-E (40 broad-catches, 5 batches × ≤8 sites)
For each batch:
- Styleguide re-read (ack commit)
- Per-site: write test, run fail, migrate, run pass, audit pre/post, commit
- Phase invariant test (e.g., `test_phase_3_invariant_mcp_client_batch_a_dropped`)
- Phase checkpoint
### 7.5 Phase 8: mcp_client.py Silent-Swallow + UNCLEAR (6 sites)
5 INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW + 1 UNCLEAR. Per user principle (logging NOT a drain), NO narrowing+logging; full `Result[T]` propagation.
### 7.6 Phases 9-10: ai_client.py Batches A-B (17 broad-catches, 2 batches)
Same pattern as 7.4.
### 7.7 Phase 11: ai_client.py Silent-Swallow (9 sites)
Same pattern as 7.5. CRITICAL anti-sliming phase.
### 7.8 Phase 12: ai_client.py Rethrow Classification (7 sites)
Classify per Pattern 1/2/3 or MIGRATE. NOT classify as "suspicious".
### 7.9 Phase 13: rag_engine.py Migration (9 sites)
1 silent-swallow + 5 broad-catch + 3 rethrow. Single phase (small file).
### 7.10 Phase 14: Audit Gate + End-of-Track Report
5 tasks: `--strict` audit; unit tests; batched suite; report; tracks.md + umbrella update.
---
## 8. Verification Criteria
- **VC-1** `audit_exception_handling.py --include-baseline --strict` exits 0.
- **VC-2** 0 INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH across 3 baseline files (62 → 0).
- **VC-3** 0 INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW across 3 baseline files (15 → 0).
- **VC-4** 0 INTERNAL_RETHROW across 3 baseline files (10 → 0 or classified).
- **VC-5** 0 UNCLEAR across 3 baseline files (1 → 0).
- **VC-6** The 4 BOUNDARY_SDK sites in `ai_client.py` are preserved.
- **VC-7** The 9 INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE sites (4 ai_client + 5 rag_engine) are preserved.
- **VC-8** `tests/test_baseline_result.py` exists with ≥102 tests (88 site + 14 invariant), all pass.
- **VC-9** 11-tier batched test suite passes with no new regressions.
- **VC-10** Per-phase audit gates verified (each phase's invariant test confirms the expected count drop).
- **VC-11** Tier 2 acknowledged styleguide re-read at start of each phase (14 styleguide-ack commits).
- **VC-12** Git history shows ≥110 atomic commits (88 site + 14 phase setup + 3 infra + 2 docs).
- **VC-13** End-of-track report at `docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_result_migration_baseline_cleanup_20260620.md`.
- **VC-14** `conductor/tracks.md` row updated to "shipped 2026-06-XX".
- **VC-15** Umbrella spec count updated; campaign 100% complete.
---
## 9. Out of Scope
- **Sub-tracks 1-4** (all shipped; out of scope).
- **Migrating `tests/` files** (out of scope per the convention ancestor).
- **Adding new `try/except` sites** (this track migrates EXISTING sites only).
- **Changing the audit heuristic** (sub-track 3 Phase 7 + sub-track 4 Phase 11/12 are correct).
- **Removing the legacy wrappers** (sub-track 3 Phase 6 Group 6.3 pattern preserves them; follow-up track can migrate callers).
- **Migrating the 41 stay-as-is sites** (4 BOUNDARY_SDK + 9 INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE + 28 INTERNAL_COMPLIANT).
---
## 10. Risks
| ID | Risk | Likelihood | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5-1 | ai_client.py's multi-provider `_send_<vendor>_result` helpers are partially in place; the 33 remaining sites include some already-`_result` and some still-broad-catch | low | Phase 1 inventory forces explicit per-site classification |
| R5-2 | mcp_client.py's 45 tool functions: each tool is a small surface; per-tool `_result` helper follows the established convention | low | Per-phase audit gate; if a batch fails, the phase stops |
| R5-3 | rag_engine.py's 9 sites include 3 INTERNAL_RETHROW that may need Pattern 1/2/3 classification | medium | Phase 13 includes classification step |
| R5-4 | Per-site `Result[T]` migration in 3 large files could regress the existing 41 compliant sites | low | Per-phase audit gate; if compliant count drops, the phase fails |
| R5-5 | The 9 INTERNAL_PROGRAMMER_RAISE + 4 BOUNDARY_SDK sites may be incorrectly classified (code may have changed since the heuristic was added) | low | Phase 1 inventory forces explicit per-site classification; misclassifications reported to user |
| R5-6 | Tier 2 invents a laundering heuristic (the sliming pattern from sub-tracks 2/3) | medium | Anti-sliming protocol enforced per phase; "If a site resists migration: DO NOT invent a heuristic. Report." |

# Plan: Result Migration — Sub-Track 1 (Review Pass)
**Sub-track:** `result_migration_review_pass_20260617`
**Umbrella:** [`result_migration_20260616`](../../result_migration_20260616/spec.md)
**Owner:** Tier 2 Tech Lead
**Base commit:** `b6caca40` (test(theme_nerv): align alert test with kwargs call signature)
**Audit-data commit:** see `git log scripts/audit_exception_handling.py` (the audit script's most recent change is the post-report heuristic update; the 24+19 inventory is the live state)
---
## Phase 1: Setup
- [ ] **Task 1.1: Initialize the sub-track folder**
- WHERE: `conductor/tracks/result_migration_review_pass_20260617/` (already created)
- WHAT: `spec.md`, `plan.md`, `metadata.json`, `state.toml` (this file)
- HOW: Read the umbrella spec; the sub-track spec mirrors the umbrella's sub-track 1 plan
- COMMIT: `conductor(track): spec for result_migration_review_pass (sub-track 1 of 5)`
- GIT NOTE: Sub-track 1 scope (43 sites across 11 files; 24 UNCLEAR + 19 INTERNAL_RETHROW); dependency on the umbrella
- [ ] **Task 1.2: Update `conductor/tracks.md`**
- WHERE: `conductor/tracks.md` (after the umbrella row 6d)
- WHAT: Add a row for sub-track 1

---
## Phase 2: Review the 24 UNCLEAR sites (6 files)
For each site, the Tier 2 implementer reads the snippet + 2-3 lines of context and decides:
- **Compliant** — the site matches a pattern the audit script SHOULD recognize; document the pattern; add a heuristic
- **Migration-target** — the site should be converted to Result-based in sub-tracks 2-4; record the line + file + decision in the report
The 24 UNCLEAR sites are in (per the live audit JSON, 2026-06-17):
- `src/gui_2.py`: 13 sites (lines 65, 69, 684, 806, 1349, 2401, 2411, 2533, 2561, 2759, 4106, 4159, 6830)

- GIT NOTE: Per-site decisions for gui_2 UNCLEAR
- [ ] **Task 2.2: Review `src/mcp_client.py` UNCLEAR sites (4, baseline)**
- WHERE: `src/mcp_client.py`
- WHAT: Same as 2.1; note the baseline status (refactored 2026-06-12; remaining sites are Path C deferred work)
- HOW: Same as 2.1
- COMMIT: `docs(track): result_migration_review_pass decisions for src/mcp_client.py UNCLEAR`

## Phase 3: Classify the 19 INTERNAL_RETHROW sites (7 files)
For each site, classify as one of:
- **PATTERN 1** (catch + convert + raise as different type): legitimate
- **PATTERN 2** (catch + log + re-raise): legitimate
- **PATTERN 3** (catch + cleanup + re-raise): legitimate
- **Migration-target** (catch + re-raise same exception OR no good reason): queue for sub-tracks 2-4
See `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md` §"Re-Raise Patterns" for the canonical pattern definitions.
The 19 INTERNAL_RETHROW sites are in (per the live audit JSON):
- `src/ai_client.py`: 6 sites (lines 277, 801, 802, 1234, 1529, 2520) — BASELINE, all `RAISE` kind
- `src/rag_engine.py`: 4 sites (lines 29, 36, 57, 75) — BASELINE
- `src/app_controller.py`: 3 sites (lines 1224, 1250, 2982) — all `RAISE` in `__getattr__` + 1 `RAISE` in `load_context_preset`
- `src/gui_2.py`: 2 sites (lines 757, 760) — both `RAISE` in `__getattr__`
- `src/api_hooks.py`: 2 sites (lines 938, 941) — 1 EXCEPT + 1 RAISE in `main`
- `src/models.py`: 1 site (line 268) — `RAISE` in `__getattr__`
- `src/warmup.py`: 1 site (line 85) — `RAISE` in `submit`
- [ ] **Task 3.1: Review `src/ai_client.py` INTERNAL_RETHROW sites (6, baseline)**
- WHERE: `src/ai_client.py`
- WHAT: Apply the 4 classifications to each of the 6 RAISE sites
- HOW: For each line, read the surrounding 5-10 lines to determine if it's PATTERN 1/2/3 or migration-target
- COMMIT: `docs(track): result_migration_review_pass decisions for src/ai_client.py INTERNAL_RETHROW`
- GIT NOTE: Per-site classifications for ai_client INTERNAL_RETHROW
- [ ] **Task 3.2: Review `src/rag_engine.py` INTERNAL_RETHROW sites (4, baseline)**
- WHERE: `src/rag_engine.py`
- WHAT: Same as 3.1; lines 29+36 are in `_get_sentence_transformers` (lazy import pattern), lines 57+75 are in `embed`
- HOW: Same as 3.1
- COMMIT: `docs(track): result_migration_review_pass decisions for src/rag_engine.py INTERNAL_RETHROW`
- GIT NOTE: Per-site classifications for rag_engine INTERNAL_RETHROW
- [ ] **Task 3.3: Review `src/app_controller.py` INTERNAL_RETHROW sites (3)**
- WHERE: `src/app_controller.py`
- WHAT: Same as 3.1; lines 1224+1250 are in `__getattr__` (defer-not-catch guard)
- HOW: Same as 3.1
- COMMIT: `docs(track): result_migration_review_pass decisions for src/app_controller.py INTERNAL_RETHROW`
- GIT NOTE: Per-site classifications for app_controller INTERNAL_RETHROW
- [ ] **Task 3.4: Review `src/gui_2.py` INTERNAL_RETHROW sites (2)**
- WHERE: `src/gui_2.py`
- WHAT: Same as 3.1; lines 757+760 are in `__getattr__` (defer-not-catch guard, likely)

- HOW: Same as 3.1
- COMMIT: `docs(track): result_migration_review_pass decisions for src/warmup.py INTERNAL_RETHROW`
- GIT NOTE: Per-site classifications for warmup INTERNAL_RETHROW
---
## Phase 4: Update the audit script's heuristics
For each site that turned out to be compliant (a common pattern the script doesn't recognize), add a heuristic to `_classify_except` or `_classify_raise` in `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py`.
- [ ] **Task 4.1: Add heuristics for the 5-10 most common compliant patterns**
- WHERE: `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py`
- WHAT: Add new classification logic for the patterns the review pass found to be compliant
- HOW: Use the AST inspection patterns the script already has; add to the `_classify_except` / `_classify_raise` functions
- SAFETY: The script is a static analyzer; the changes don't affect runtime behavior. Run the audit before and after each heuristic change to verify the new heuristic doesn't misclassify existing sites.
- COMMIT: `feat(scripts): add heuristics to audit_exception_handling for review pass patterns`
- GIT NOTE: Heuristics added; per-site rationale
- [ ] **Task 4.2: Verify the updated classification**
- WHERE: `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py`
- WHAT: Re-run the audit; the UNCLEAR count should drop to 0 (or close to it; ±2 acceptable per the spec); the INTERNAL_RETHROW count should drop to whatever the 3 legitimate patterns don't cover
- HOW: `uv run python scripts/audit_exception_handling.py --json` and compare before/after counts
- SAFETY: If the new heuristic misclassifies a known site, the audit will show a different breakdown — re-check the per-site decisions in the report
- COMMIT: `docs(track): verify audit heuristic update` (only if a doc change is needed; otherwise rolled into 4.1)
---
## Phase 5: Report
- [ ] **Task 5.1: Write the review pass report**
- WHERE: `docs/reports/RESULT_MIGRATION_REVIEW_PASS_20260617.md`
- WHAT: Per-site decision table (43 rows); updated migration scope for the later sub-tracks; updated audit script heuristics; per-sub-track site-count adjustments
- HOW: Use the format of the `EXCEPTION_HANDLING_AUDIT_20260616.md` report
- COMMIT: `docs(report): add result_migration_review_pass report`
- GIT NOTE: Summary of the review pass + updated migration scope
- [ ] **Task 5.2: Update the umbrella spec's per-sub-track plan**
- WHERE: `conductor/tracks/result_migration_20260616/spec.md` (the per-sub-track plan section)
- WHAT: Reflect the updated migration scope (some UNCLEAR sites may be compliant; the site count per sub-track changes)
- HOW: Edit the spec; commit as a docs update
- COMMIT: `docs(track): update result_migration_20260616 with post-review scope`
- GIT NOTE: 1-sentence note about the scope change
---
## Phase 6: Verification
- [ ] **Task 6.1: Verify the updated audit script**
- WHERE: `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py`
- WHAT: Re-run with `--by-size`; verify the UNCLEAR count is now 0 (±2); verify the per-bucket totals reflect the updated scope
- HOW: `uv run python scripts/audit_exception_handling.py --by-size`
- COMMIT: rolled into 5.1 (the report captures the verification command + output)
- [ ] **Task 6.2: Verify the test pass count is unchanged**
- WHERE: `tests/`
- WHAT: This sub-track is informational; the test pass count should stay at 1288 + 4 + 0
- HOW: `uv run python scripts/run_tests_batched.py` (the tier-2 standard, per `conductor/workflow.md` §"Tier 2 Autonomous Sandbox")
- NOTE: The batched runner is the canonical verification for tier-2; isolated `pytest` is forbidden per the Isolated-Pass Verification Fallacy rule
- COMMIT: rolled into 5.1
- [ ] **Task 6.3: Mark the sub-track as completed**
- WHERE: `conductor/tracks/result_migration_review_pass_20260617/metadata.json` + `state.toml`, `conductor/tracks.md`
- WHAT: Update `status: active → completed`; `current_phase: "complete"`
- HOW: Edit the files; commit
- COMMIT: `conductor(track): mark result_migration_review_pass_20260617 as completed`
- GIT NOTE: 1-sentence note

## Risks at the Plan Level
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| The review pass reveals more UNCLEAR sites than expected (the heuristics miss patterns) | Task 4.2 verifies the post-heuristic UNCLEAR count is ~0; if not, iterate |
| The user disagrees with a classification on a disputed case | The plan defers to the user as the final arbiter (per the spec §"Notes for the Tier 2 Implementer") |
| Audit script updates introduce regressions | Task 4.1 includes a safety step: run the audit before and after each heuristic change; compare counts |
| The post-review scope changes invalidate the umbrella spec's per-sub-track plan | Task 5.2 updates the umbrella spec with the new scope |
| The test pass count drops unexpectedly | Task 6.2 catches this; investigate the test failure per the standard process |
---
## Verification Snapshot (capture in the report)
After the review pass + heuristic update, capture in `docs/reports/RESULT_MIGRATION_REVIEW_PASS_20260617.md`:
- `audit_exception_handling.py` count before: 24 UNCLEAR + 19 INTERNAL_RETHROW = 43
- `audit_exception_handling.py` count after: 0 UNCLEAR (±2) + N INTERNAL_RETHROW (where N = total - 3-pattern-matches)
- Per-site decision table (43 rows)
- Per-file migration-target delta (the change in sub-tracks 2-4 site counts)
- Audit script heuristics added (count + 1-line summary per heuristic)

# Track Specification: Result Migration — Sub-Track 1 (Review Pass)
**Track ID:** `result_migration_review_pass_20260617`
**Parent umbrella:** [`result_migration_20260616`](../../result_migration_20260616/spec.md) (sub-track 1 of 5)
**Type:** audit + documentation (informational; no production code change)
**Priority:** A (foundational; feeds all later sub-tracks)
**T-shirt size:** S
**Status:** ready to start (blocked-by cleared; unblocked)

## 0. Overview
This is sub-track 1 of the 5-sub-track `result_migration_20260616` campaign that eliminates the 268 "bad" exception-handling sites across 42 files (per the `exception_handling_audit_20260616` audit). Sub-track 1 is the **review pass**: it does not migrate any production code. It makes 43 ambiguous audit classifications into 43 definite decisions (compliant or migration-target), updates the audit script's heuristics for the patterns the human review found to be common, and produces the per-site decision table that sub-tracks 2-4 will use as their starting scope.
## 1. Current State Audit (as of 2026-06-17, base commit `b6caca40`)
### 1.1 The 348-Site Baseline (per `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py --json`)
The audit script classifies every `try/except/finally/raise` site into 10 categories. As of 2026-06-17:
| Category | Count | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Compliant | varies | ok |
| Violations | 211 | migration target |
| Suspicious | 25 | reviewable |
| UNCLEAR | 32 | needs human review |
**Note:** the audit script's heuristics were updated since the original report (`docs/reports/EXCEPTION_HANDLING_AUDIT_20260616.md`); the current re-run shows **24 UNCLEAR + 19 INTERNAL_RETHROW = 43 sites** across 11 files (down from the report's 32 + 25 = 57 across 15). Some sites have been reclassified as compliant by the new heuristics; the per-site inventory below is the live state.
### 1.2 The 24 UNCLEAR Sites (per-file inventory)
| File | Sites | Lines | In baseline? |
|---|---|---|---|
| `src/gui_2.py` | 13 | 65, 69, 684, 806, 1349, 2401, 2411, 2533, 2561, 2759, 4106, 4159, 6830 | no (migration target) |
| `src/mcp_client.py` | 4 | 126, 152, 177, 987 | **yes** (refactored 2026-06-12) |
| `src/ai_client.py` | 2 | 828, 2813 | **yes** (refactored 2026-06-12) |
| `src/app_controller.py` | 2 | 1842, 3740 | no |
| `src/models.py` | 2 | 452, 457 | no |
| `src/multi_agent_conductor.py` | 1 | 236 | no |
**Total: 24 sites across 6 files.**
### 1.3 The 19 INTERNAL_RETHROW Sites (per-file inventory)
| File | Sites | Lines | In baseline? |
|---|---|---|---|
| `src/ai_client.py` | 6 | 277, 801, 802, 1234, 1529, 2520 | **yes** (all `RAISE` kind) |
| `src/rag_engine.py` | 4 | 29, 36, 57, 75 | **yes** |
| `src/app_controller.py` | 3 | 1224, 1250, 2982 | no (all `RAISE`) |
| `src/gui_2.py` | 2 | 757, 760 | no (both `RAISE` in `__getattr__`) |
| `src/api_hooks.py` | 2 | 938, 941 | no (1 EXCEPT + 1 RAISE in `main`) |
| `src/models.py` | 1 | 268 | no (`RAISE` in `__getattr__`) |
| `src/warmup.py` | 1 | 85 | no (`RAISE` in `submit`) |
**Total: 19 sites across 7 files.**
### 1.4 The 3 Legitimate Re-Raise Patterns (per `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md` §"Re-Raise Patterns", added 2026-06-16)
The styleguide defines 3 patterns where `try/except + raise` is legitimate (not a violation):
1. **PATTERN 1: catch + convert + raise as different type** (e.g., `except IOError as e: raise ProviderError(str(e))` — converts an SDK-boundary exception into a domain exception)
2. **PATTERN 2: catch + log + re-raise** (e.g., `except Exception as e: logger.exception("..."); raise` — preserves the original traceback for debugging)
3. **PATTERN 3: catch + cleanup + re-raise** (e.g., `except Exception: lock.release(); raise` — runs cleanup logic and re-raises the original)
Sites that don't match any of the 3 patterns are migration-target (remove the try/except or convert to Result-based).
### 1.5 The Audit Script's Classification Logic (reference)
The script (`scripts/audit_exception_handling.py`) uses Python's `ast` module to classify each site. The `UNCLEAR` category fires when the script cannot determine the classification from the AST alone (the body of the `except` is too complex, or the surrounding context is ambiguous). The `INTERNAL_RETHROW` category fires on `try/except + raise` patterns without context about WHY the re-raise happens.
## 2. Goals
The track has 3 goals, all bounded by scope (not time):
1. **Per-site decision** for all 24 UNCLEAR sites: `compliant` (with a heuristic update) or `migration-target` (queued for sub-tracks 2-4).
2. **Per-site classification** for all 19 INTERNAL_RETHROW sites: `PATTERN_1`, `PATTERN_2`, `PATTERN_3`, or `migration-target`.
3. **Updated audit script heuristics** for the 5-10 most common compliant patterns the review pass discovered.
## 3. Functional Requirements
- **FR1:** A per-site decision table is written to `docs/reports/RESULT_MIGRATION_REVIEW_PASS_20260617.md` covering all 43 sites.
- **FR2:** The audit script's classification logic (`scripts/audit_exception_handling.py`, the `_classify_except` and `_classify_raise` functions) is updated with at least 1 new heuristic for each commonly-compliant pattern.
- **FR3:** Re-running `uv run python scripts/audit_exception_handling.py --json` after the heuristic updates shows the UNCLEAR count is 0 (or close to it; ±2 sites that the user classifies as "ambiguous, leave as UNCLEAR").
- **FR4:** The umbrella spec's per-sub-track plan section (`conductor/tracks/result_migration_20260616/spec.md`) is updated to reflect the post-review migration scope (some UNCLEAR sites may be compliant; sub-tracks 2-4 site counts change).
## 4. Non-Functional Requirements
- **NF1:** No production code change. Only the audit script and documentation are modified.
- **NF2:** Atomic per-task commits. Each review batch is its own commit (e.g., "review `src/gui_2.py` UNCLEAR sites").
- **NF3:** Per-commit git notes summarizing the per-site decisions.
- **NF4:** Test pass count is unchanged: 1288 + 4 + 0 (the review pass is informational).
## 5. Architecture Reference
- `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md` §"Re-Raise Patterns" — the 3 legitimate re-raise patterns to apply to INTERNAL_RETHROW sites
- `docs/AGENTS.md` §"Convention Enforcement" — the 4 enforcement audit scripts (this track updates one of them)
- `docs/reports/EXCEPTION_HANDLING_AUDIT_20260616.md` — the parent audit report (the original 268-site inventory)
- `conductor/tracks/result_migration_20260616/spec.md` — the umbrella spec (the parent)
- `conductor/tracks/exception_handling_audit_20260616/spec.md` — the audit track (the grandparent)
- `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py` — the audit script being updated
- `docs/guide_ai_client.md` §"Data-Oriented Error Handling (Fleury Pattern)" — the in-context guide for the provider layer
- `docs/guide_mcp_client.md` §"Data-Oriented Error Handling (Fleury Pattern)" — the in-context guide for the MCP tool layer
- `docs/guide_rag.md` §"Data-Oriented Error Handling (Fleury Pattern)" — the in-context guide for the RAG engine
## 6. Out of Scope (Explicit)
- **Migrating any production code.** Sub-track 1 is informational; the migration happens in sub-tracks 2-4.
- **Updating the umbrella spec's recommendation sequence** (sub-tracks 2-4 ordering is unchanged).
- **Adding new `Result` patterns to areas that don't have any** (this track classifies EXISTING sites only).
- **Refactoring the audit script's overall architecture** (only the `_classify_except` and `_classify_raise` functions are touched).
- **The 211 violations + remaining 6 INTERNAL_RETHROW-equivalent sites** (those are sub-tracks 2-5's work).
## 7. Verification Criteria
- **G1:** `docs/reports/RESULT_MIGRATION_REVIEW_PASS_20260617.md` exists and contains a per-site decision table for all 43 sites.
- **G2:** `scripts/audit_exception_handling.py` has at least 1 new heuristic for commonly-compliant patterns (count recorded in the report).
- **G3:** Re-running the audit post-heuristics: UNCLEAR count is 0 (±2 acceptable).
- **G4:** `conductor/tracks/result_migration_20260616/spec.md` §1.3 is updated with the post-review site counts.
- **G5:** Full test pass count: 1288 + 4 + 0 (unchanged; informational track).
- **G6:** Atomic commits: spec, plan, metadata + state, per-file review batches, audit script update, umbrella spec update, report, final verification.
## 8. Risks
- **R1:** Review reveals more sites are violations than the audit's heuristics suggest → the migration scope for sub-tracks 2-4 grows; mitigated by the per-site decision table that records every site.
- **R2:** User disagrees with a classification on a disputed case → the plan defers to the user as the final arbiter; no site is left without a decision.
- **R3:** Audit script updates introduce regressions (e.g., a new heuristic misclassifies a known site) → mitigated by running the audit before and after each heuristic change and comparing counts.
## 9. Notes for the Tier 2 Implementer
- This is a **research task, not a refactor**. Read the code, classify the site, write the decision. No production code edits.
- For each site, read the snippet + 2-3 lines of context. The audit's `context` field gives the enclosing function name; `line` gives the exact line.
- For UNCLEAR sites, the question is: "is this a pattern the audit script SHOULD recognize as compliant?" If yes, mark `compliant` and add a heuristic. If no, mark `migration-target`.
- For INTERNAL_RETHROW sites, the question is: "is this one of the 3 legitimate re-raise patterns?" Check the styleguide's Re-Raise Patterns section. If none, mark `migration-target`.
- The user is the final arbiter on disputed cases. If a site's classification is unclear after human review, ask the user.
- The review pass is bounded by site count, not time. 43 sites; ~2-3 hours of focused review.
