# AI-Fix Broken Pattern Bug

## Issue Description

The AI agents are generating broken function definitions during the fixing process. These definitions contain calls to non-existent methods that cause syntax errors.

## Broken Patterns Generated

The agents generate code with calls to these non-existent methods:

- `self._process_general_1()`
- `self._process_loop_2()`
- `self._handle_conditional_3()`
- `self._handle_conditional_5()`
- `self._handle_conditional_7()`

## Example Broken Code

```python
# BROKEN - Generated by AI agents
async def _process_single_issue(
    self._process_general_1()
    self._process_loop_2()

async def _process_single_issue(
    self,
    issue: Issue,
    max_retries: int,
) -> BatchIssueResult:
    # Real implementation here
```

## Root Cause

The AI agents (likely the LLM-based ones) are generating these placeholder method calls as part of their code generation process. They appear to be:

1. Intermediate representation markers
1. Template placeholders that should be replaced
1. Flawed prompting/instructions to the LLM

## Temporary Workaround

Run this script to clean up the broken patterns:

```bash
python fix_broken_functions.py
```

## Permanent Fix Required

The AI agent code or prompts need to be updated to NOT generate these placeholder method calls. This likely requires:

1. Reviewing agent prompts/templates
1. Fixing the code generation logic in agents
1. Adding validation to prevent generating non-existent method calls

## Affected Agents

Based on the patterns found, this affects:

- RefactoringAgent
- PatternAgent
- DependencyAgent
- Possibly other LLM-based agents

## Files Affected

During AI-fix runs, these patterns appear in:

- `crackerjack/agents/refactoring_agent.py`
- `crackerjack/agents/pattern_agent.py`
- `crackerjack/agents/dependency_agent.py`
- `crackerjack/adapters/ai/registry.py`
- `crackerjack/services/batch_processor.py`
- `crackerjack/services/safe_code_modifier.py`
- `crackerjack/parsers/json_parsers.py`
- `crackerjack/parsers/regex_parsers.py`
- `crackerjack/parsers/base.py`
- `crackerjack/shell/adapter.py`

## Impact

- **Blocks AI-fix workflow**: The comprehensive hooks fail due to syntax errors
- **Prevents automated fixing**: Can't iterate on fixes because each run re-introduces the bugs
- **Reduces confidence in AI agents**: Users see broken code being generated

## Status

🐛 **OPEN** - This is a critical bug that prevents the AI-fix workflow from working correctly.

## Next Steps

1. Investigate which agent(s) are generating these patterns
1. Review agent prompts and code generation logic
1. Add validation to prevent generating non-existent method calls
1. Test fixes thoroughly before deploying
