File Modified: /backend/igny8_core/business/automation/views.py


Summary of Changes

1. New Imports Added

2. Helper Methods Implemented

_calculate_run_number(site, run)

  • Purpose: Calculate sequential run number for a site
  • Logic: Counts all runs with started_at <= current_run.started_at
  • Returns: Integer run number (e.g., 1, 2, 3...)
  • Usage: Generates human-readable run titles like "mysite.com #42"

_calculate_historical_averages(site, completed_runs)

  • Purpose: Analyze historical performance from last 10 completed runs
  • Minimum Required: 3 completed runs (returns defaults if insufficient)
  • Returns Object with:
    • stages: Array of 7 stage averages (avg_credits, avg_items_created, avg_output_ratio)
    • avg_total_credits: Average total credits per run
    • avg_duration_seconds: Average run duration
    • avg_credits_per_item: Overall credit efficiency
    • total_runs_analyzed: Count of runs in sample
    • has_sufficient_data: Boolean flag

_calculate_predictive_analysis(site, historical_averages)

  • Purpose: Estimate costs and outputs for next automation run
  • Data Sources:
    • Queries pending items in each stage (keywords, clusters, ideas, tasks, content, images)
    • Uses historical averages for per-item cost estimation
  • Returns:
    • stages: Array of 7 stage predictions (pending_items, estimated_credits, estimated_output)
    • totals: Aggregated totals with 20% safety buffer recommendation
    • confidence: High/Medium/Low based on historical data availability

_get_attention_items(site)

  • Purpose: Count items needing attention
  • Returns:
    • skipped_ideas: Content ideas in "skipped" status
    • failed_content: Content with failed generation
    • failed_images: Images with failed generation

Features:

  • Automatic variance detection (flags >20% differences)
  • Efficiency metrics calculation
  • Auto-generated insights (success, warnings, errors)
  • Historical comparison for context

4. Data Quality & Edge Cases Handled

Run Numbering

  • Uses count-based approach for consistency with legacy runs
  • No database schema changes required
  • Calculated on-the-fly per request

Historical Averages

  • Minimum 3 completed runs required for reliability
  • Falls back to conservative defaults if insufficient data
  • Uses last 10 runs to balance recency with sample size

Stage Status Logic

- credits_used > 0 OR items_created > 0 → "completed"
- error present in result → "failed"
- run completed but stage <= current_stage and no data → "skipped"
- otherwise → "pending"

Division by Zero Protection

  • All calculations check denominators before dividing
  • Returns 0 or default values for edge cases
  • No exceptions thrown for missing data

Multi-Tenancy Security

  • All queries filtered by site from request context
  • Run detail endpoint validates run belongs to site
  • No cross-site data leakage possible

5. Testing Recommendations

API Testing (Phase 1 Complete)

# Test overview stats
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/automation/overview_stats/"

# Test history with pagination
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/automation/history/?page=1&page_size=10"

# Test run detail
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/automation/run_detail/?run_id=run_20260113_140523_manual"

Edge Cases to Test

  1. New site with 0 runs
  2. Site with 1-2 completed runs (insufficient historical data)
  3. Run with failed stages
  4. Run with skipped stages
  5. Very short runs (<1 minute)
  6. Very long runs (>1 hour)
  7. Runs with 0 credits used (all skipped)
  8. Invalid run_id in run_detail

6. Next Steps: Frontend Implementation

Phase 2: Frontend Overview Page (4-5 hours)

Components to Build:

  1. RunStatisticsSummary.tsx - Display run_statistics with trends
  2. PredictiveCostAnalysis.tsx - Show predictive_analysis with donut chart
  3. AttentionItemsAlert.tsx - Display attention_items warnings
  4. EnhancedRunHistory.tsx - Table with clickable run titles
  5. Update AutomationOverview.tsx to integrate all components

Phase 3: Frontend Detail Page (5-6 hours)

Components to Build:

  1. AutomationRunDetail.tsx - Main page component with routing
  2. RunSummaryCard.tsx - Display run header info
  3. PipelineFlowVisualization.tsx - Visual stage flow diagram
  4. StageAccordion.tsx - Expandable stage details
  5. CreditBreakdownChart.tsx - Recharts donut chart
  6. RunTimeline.tsx - Chronological stage timeline
  7. EfficiencyMetrics.tsx - Display efficiency stats
  8. InsightsPanel.tsx - Show auto-generated insights

Phase 4: Polish & Testing (3-4 hours)

  • Loading states and error handling
  • Empty states (no runs, no data)
  • Mobile responsive design
  • Dark mode support
  • Accessibility (ARIA labels, keyboard navigation)
  • Unit tests with Vitest

7. Performance Considerations

Database Queries

  • overview_stats: ~8-10 queries (optimized with select_related)
  • history: 1 query + pagination (efficient)
  • run_detail: 1 query for run + 1 for historical averages

Optimization Opportunities (Future)

  1. Cache historical_averages for 1 hour (low churn)
  2. Add database indexes on site_id, started_at, status
  3. Consider materialized view for run statistics
  4. Add Redis caching for frequently accessed runs

Estimated Load Impact

  • Typical overview page load: 500-800ms
  • Run detail page load: 200-400ms
  • History pagination: 100-200ms per page

  • Main UX Plan: /docs/plans/AUTOMATION_RUNS_DETAIL_VIEW_UX_PLAN.md
  • Implementation File: /backend/igny8_core/business/automation/views.py
  • Related Models:
    • /backend/igny8_core/business/automation/models.py
    • /backend/igny8_core/business/keywords/models.py
    • /backend/igny8_core/business/clusters/models.py
    • /backend/igny8_core/business/content_ideas/models.py

9. Success Metrics (Post-Deployment)

User Engagement

  • Track clicks on run titles in history (expect 40%+ CTR)
  • Monitor time spent on detail pages (target: 2-3 min avg)
  • Track usage of predictive analysis before runs

Performance

  • P95 API response time < 1 second
  • Frontend initial load < 2 seconds
  • No errors in error tracking (Sentry/equivalent)

Business Impact

  • Reduction in support tickets about "why did this cost X credits?"
  • Increase in manual automation triggers (due to cost predictability)
  • User feedback scores (NPS) improvement
