## 🎓 Key Learnings

### 1. Testing Reveals API Design
- Tests exposed incorrect assumptions about event structure
- `ToolCallEvent` vs `ToolResultEvent` separation
- `settings` and `usage` dict requirements
- **Takeaway:** Tests are executable documentation

### 2. Iterative Improvement Process
1. Write tests based on assumptions
2. Run tests and observe failures
3. Fix tests to match reality
4. ✅ All tests passing
5. Document learnings

### 3. Security Testing is Critical
- PII redaction must be tested thoroughly
- Injection attacks must be prevented
- Performance matters for large payloads
- Edge cases reveal security holes

### 4. Coverage % vs Quality
- 90% coverage with poor tests < 85% with good tests
- Focus on high-risk, security-critical areas
- Test behavior, not implementation
- Document patterns and best practices

---

## 🔍 What We Discovered

### Event API Structure
```python
# CORRECT usage:
ToolCallEvent(
    timestamp=datetime.now(timezone.utc),
    tool_name="test",
    arguments={"key": "value"}
)

LLMRequestEvent(
    timestamp=datetime.now(timezone.utc),
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[...],
    settings={"temperature": 0.7}  # In settings dict
)

LLMResponseEvent(
    timestamp=datetime.now(timezone.utc),
    model="gpt-4",
    content="response",
    usage={"input_tokens": 50, "output_tokens": 50}  # In usage dict
)
```

### Redaction Pipeline API
```python
# RedactionPipeline.apply(event) - not process_event
pipeline = RedactionPipeline(redact_pii=True)
result = pipeline.apply(event)
```

---

## 📈 Coverage Analysis

### Improved Areas
- **Redaction Pipeline:** 83% → 85% (+2%)
- **Security Tests:** 0 → 21 comprehensive tests
- **Event API:** Now fully understood and documented

### Remaining Gaps
- **API Routes:** Need app context initialization
- **Adapters:** LangChain adapter tests (optional)
- **Overall:** 88% (12% gap to 100%)

### Priority for Next Session
1. **High:** API route tests (need fixture)
2. **Medium:** More PII patterns
3. **Low:** Adapter integration tests

## 💡 Testing Best Practices Established

### 1. Environment-Aware Testing
```python
def test_version():
    try:
        # Production scenario
        assert version == get_installed_version()
    except PackageNotFoundError:
        # Development scenario
        assert version == get_hardcoded_version()
```

### 2. Security-First Testing
```python
def test_injection_prevention():
    """Ensure malicious inputs are handled safely."""
    malicious = ["'; DROP TABLE--", "<script>", "${injection}"]
    for attack in malicious:
        result = redact(attack)
        assert is_safe(result)
```

### 3. Performance Testing
```python
def test_large_payload_performance():
    """Ensure redaction completes quickly."""
    import time
    start = time.time()
    result = redact(large_data)
    assert time.time() - start < 1.0  # < 1 second
```

### 4. Edge Case Testing
```python
def test_edge_cases():
    """Test boundary conditions."""
    for input in [None, "", "x" * 10000, {"nested": {"deep": "value"}}]:
        result = process(input)
        assert result is not None
```
