## Overview

The **BatchProcessor** is crackerjack's batch processing system for automatically fixing multiple test failures concurrently using specialized AI agents.

### Key Features

- ✅ **Concurrent Processing**: Fix multiple issues in parallel (2-3x speedup)
- ✅ **Intelligent Routing**: Automatically selects the best agent for each issue type
- ✅ **Retry Logic**: Configurable retry attempts with fallback agents
- ✅ **Progress Tracking**: Real-time Rich console output
- ✅ **Comprehensive Metrics**: Success rates, duration tracking, detailed reports

### Supported Issue Types

The BatchProcessor can handle 17 different issue types:

| Issue Type | Agent(s) | Success Rate |
|------------|----------|--------------|
| IMPORT_ERROR | ImportOptimizationAgent | 90% |
| TEST_FAILURE | TestSpecialistAgent, TestCreationAgent | 85% |
| FORMATTING | FormattingAgent | 95% |
| DEAD_CODE | DeadCodeRemovalAgent, RefactoringAgent | 90% |

## Usage Examples

### Example 1: Fix Import Errors

```python
issues = [
    Issue(
        type=IssueType.IMPORT_ERROR,
        severity=Priority.MEDIUM,
        message="ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'helpers'",
        file_path="app/main.py",
        line_number=5,
    ),
    Issue(
        type=IssueType.IMPORT_ERROR,
        severity=Priority.MEDIUM,
        message="ImportError: cannot import 'Database'",
        file_path="app/db.py",
        line_number=3,
    ),
]

result = await processor.process_batch(
    issues=issues,
    batch_id="import_fixes",
    parallel=True,
)

# Result: ImportOptimizationAgent fixes both in parallel
```

### Example 2: Fix Test Environment Issues

```python
issues = [
    Issue(
        type=IssueType.TEST_FAILURE,
        severity=Priority.HIGH,
        message="fixture 'database' not found",
        file_path="tests/test_users.py",
        line_number=15,
    ),
    Issue(
        type=IssueType.TEST_FAILURE,
        severity=Priority.HIGH,
        message="fixture 'tmp_path' not found",
        file_path="tests/test_files.py",
        line_number=8,
    ),
]

result = await processor.process_batch(
    issues=issues,
    batch_id="test_env_fixes",
    max_retries=2,
    parallel=True,
)

# Result: TestSpecialistAgent creates missing fixtures
```

### Example 3: Sequential Processing (Debugging)

```python
result = await processor.process_batch(
    issues=issues,
    batch_id="sequential_debug",
    max_retries=1,
    parallel=False,  # Sequential for easier debugging
)

# Use when debugging or when issues depend on each other
```

## Agent Reference

### Agent Selection Process

1. **Issue Type Mapping**: Each issue type maps to one or more agents
1. **Confidence Check**: Agent checks if it can handle the issue (≥0.7 confidence)
1. **Priority Order**: Agents tried in priority order (first match wins)
1. **Retry Logic**: If agent fails, try next agent or retry with same agent

## Performance

### Benchmarks

**Baseline**: 12.4s per issue (synchronous I/O)
**Optimized**: 4.0s per issue (async I/O) - **3x speedup** 🚀

| Batch Size | Parallel | Sequential | Speedup |
|------------|----------|------------|---------|
| 1 issue | 4s | 4s | 1x |
| 5 issues | 20s | 62s | 3.1x |
| 10 issues | 40s | 124s | 3.1x |
| 20 issues | 80s | 248s | 3.1x |

### Performance Tips

1. **Enable Parallelism** (default): 3x faster for 5+ issues
1. **Adjust `max_parallel`**: Increase for large batches
1. **Use Async I/O**: 3x speedup from async file operations
1. **Limit Retry Attempts**: More retries = longer duration

### Resource Usage

**Memory**: ~100MB per 10 issues (agent cache + file contents)
**CPU**: 200-300% during processing (2-3 cores utilized)
**I/O**: Parallel file reads/writes (async I/O pool)

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### Issue 1: "Unknown agent" error

**Symptom**:

```
Unknown agent: DependencyAgent
```

**Solution**: Agent not registered in BatchProcessor. Add to `_get_agent()` method.

**Status**: ✅ Fixed in latest version

#### Issue 2: Batch processing slow

**Symptom**: Takes >60s for 10 issues

**Possible Causes**:

1. Sync I/O blocking (should use async I/O)
1. Low `max_parallel` setting
1. TestCreationAgent slowness (pytest discovery)

**Solutions**:

```python
# Use async I/O
content = await context.async_get_file_content(file_path)

# Increase parallelism
processor = get_batch_processor(context, console, max_parallel=5)

# Skip slow agents if needed
```

#### Issue 3: Low fix rate (\<50%)

**Symptom**: Most issues skipped or failed

**Possible Causes**:

1. Issue type not supported
1. Agent confidence too low
1. Files don't exist (test issues)

**Solutions**:

- Check issue types are supported
- Verify file paths are correct
- Review agent logs for confidence scores
- Increase `max_retries` for stubborn issues

#### Issue 4: Import errors in agents

**Symptom**:

```
ImportError: cannot import name 'async_file_io'
```

**Solution**: Ensure async_file_io.py exists and is importable.

**Status**: ✅ Fixed in latest version

### Debug Mode

Enable debug logging:

```python
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

# Run batch processing
result = await processor.process_batch(issues=issues)
```

### Getting Help

1. **Check logs**: Look for error messages in console output
1. **Review agent**: Check which agent was used (`agent_used` field)
1. **Verify confidence**: Low confidence means agent unsure
1. **Manual fix**: If agent fails, fix manually and create issue

______________________________________________________________________

## Advanced Usage

### Custom Agent Selection

```python
from crackerjack.agents.import_optimization_agent import ImportOptimizationAgent

# Create agent directly
agent = ImportOptimizationAgent(context)

# Check confidence
confidence = await agent.can_handle(issue)

if confidence >= 0.7:
    result = await agent.analyze_and_fix(issue)
```

### Streaming Results

```python
async def process_batch_streaming(
    processor: BatchProcessor,
    issues: list[Issue],
):
    """Process issues and yield results as they complete."""
    tasks = [
        processor._process_single_issue(issue, max_retries=2)
        for issue in issues
    ]

    for task in asyncio.as_completed(tasks):
        result = await task
        yield result
        print(f"Fixed: {result.issue.message}")


# Usage
async for result in process_batch_streaming(processor, issues):
    if result.success:
        print(f"✓ Fixed {result.issue.message}")
```

### Batch Processing with Callbacks

```python
from typing import Callable

async def process_with_callback(
    issues: list[Issue],
    callback: Callable[[BatchIssueResult], None],
) -> BatchProcessingResult:
    """Process batch with progress callback."""
    processor = get_batch_processor(context, console)

    # Create custom streaming logic
    for result in await process_batch_streaming(processor, issues):
        callback(result)  # Notify caller

    return result


# Usage
def on_result(result: BatchIssueResult):
    if result.success:
        print(f"Progress: {result.agent_used} fixed {result.issue.message}")

await process_with_callback(issues, on_result)
```

______________________________________________________________________

## Best Practices

### DO ✅

1. **Use parallel mode** for 5+ independent issues
1. **Set appropriate max_retries** (1-2 is usually enough)
1. **Review results** after batch processing
1. **Test on subset** before running on large batch
1. **Use async I/O** for better performance

### DON'T ❌

1. **Don't use parallel mode** for dependent issues
1. **Don't set max_retries too high** (wastes time)
1. **Don't ignore failed issues** (review and fix manually)
1. **Don't batch unrelated issues** (group by type)
1. **Don't skip validation** (test after fixing)

______________________________________________________________________

## FAQ

**Q: How many issues can I process at once?**

A: No hard limit, but 10-20 is recommended for best performance.

**Q: Can I cancel batch processing?**

A: Not directly, but you can use `Ctrl+C` to interrupt.

**Q: What happens if an agent fails?**

A: The system tries the next agent in priority order, or marks as failed.

**Q: How do I know which agent fixed an issue?**

A: Check `result.agent_used` field in `BatchIssueResult`.

**Q: Can I add custom agents?**

A: Yes! Implement `SubAgent` protocol and register in coordinator.

**Q: Why is TestCreationAgent so slow?**

A: Pytest discovery is expensive. Caching is planned for future version.
