---

## Quick Start Guide

### Step 1: Run the Migration

```bash
# Connect to your database
psql -U postgres -d pulse

# Run migration 036
\i /opt/stacks/pulse/migrations/036_create_ticket_workflow_tables.sql

# Verify tables created
\dt ticket_workflow*

# Expected output:
# - ticket_workflows
# - ticket_workflow_steps
# - ticket_workflow_executions
# - ticket_workflow_execution_steps
```

### Step 2: Verify Seed Data

```sql
-- Check "Ticket Triage" workflow was seeded
SELECT id, name, is_active, trigger_event FROM ticket_workflows;

-- Check workflow steps (should have 11 steps)
SELECT step_order, step_type, name, is_active
FROM ticket_workflow_steps
WHERE workflow_id = 1
ORDER BY step_order;
```

Expected steps:
1. Branch Routing (classify)
2. Ticket Type (classify)
3. Issue Classification (classify)
4. Priority (classify)
5. Queue Routing (classify)
6. Validate Classification (validate)
7. AI Classification (ai_classify) — conditional
8. AI Title Cleanup (ai_title) — conditional
9. Delay Before Update (delay)
10. Update Autotask Ticket (update_ticket)
11. Generate Troubleshooting Steps (ai_troubleshooting) — conditional

### Step 3: Start the Application

```bash
# Navigate to project directory
cd /opt/stacks/pulse

# Install dependencies (if needed)
npm install

# Start development server
npm run dev

# Build for production
npm run build
npm start
```

### Step 4: Access the Admin UI

Navigate to: `http://localhost:3000/admin/workflow`

You should see:
- **Master Control** card at top (currently disabled)
- **Ticket Triage** workflow card (seeded from migration)
- Quick links to Classification Rules, AI Templates, Settings

### ✅ Workflow Engine Testing

**Create Test Ticket:**

Option A: Use Autotask webhook simulator
Option B: Create ticket directly in database

```sql
-- Create a test ticket
INSERT INTO tickets (
  id, ticket_number, title, description,
  ticket_category, company_id, status, created_at
) VALUES (
  999999, 'T2026-TEST-001',
  'Test ticket for workflow engine',
  'This is a test ticket to verify the workflow engine',
  3, -- NOC category (eligible for triage)
  29682833, -- valid company_id
  1, -- New
  NOW()
);
```

**Trigger Workflow Manually:**

```typescript
// In Node.js console or API route
import { ticketWorkflowEngine } from '@/lib/services/ticket-workflow-engine';

const ticket = {
  id: 999999,
  ticket_number: 'T2026-TEST-001',
  title: 'Test ticket for workflow engine',
  description: 'This is a test ticket',
  ticket_category: 3,
  ticket_type: null,
  priority: null,
  queue_id: null,
  issue_type: null,
  sub_issue_type: null,
  company_id: 29682833,
  // ... other fields
};

await ticketWorkflowEngine.processTrigger('ticket.created', ticket);
```

**Verify Execution:**

```sql
-- Check execution record
SELECT * FROM ticket_workflow_executions WHERE ticket_id = 999999;

-- Check execution steps
SELECT
  step_order, step_type, step_name, status, duration_ms,
  error_message, output_data
FROM ticket_workflow_execution_steps
WHERE execution_id = (
  SELECT id FROM ticket_workflow_executions WHERE ticket_id = 999999
)
ORDER BY step_order;

-- Check field changes
SELECT context, field_changes
FROM ticket_workflow_executions
WHERE ticket_id = 999999;
```

### ✅ Integration Testing

**Webhook Flow:**
1. Enable master switch in UI (`/admin/workflow`)
2. Enable "Ticket Triage" workflow
3. Create ticket via Autotask webhook
4. Verify execution in database
5. Check Autotask ticket for updates

**Dry-Run Testing:**
1. Select recent ticket in Test tab
2. Run dry-run
3. Verify proposed changes shown
4. Verify no actual Autotask update made

**Comparison with Old Engine:**
1. Run 100 tickets through old engine (keep results)
2. Run same 100 tickets through new engine (dry-run)
3. Compare classifications
4. Expect >99% match rate

## Deployment Plan

### Phase 1: Staging Deployment (Current)

1. **Deploy Backend:**
   - Run migration 036
   - Deploy updated code
   - Verify services start without errors

2. **Smoke Test:**
   - Access admin UI
   - Verify workflow list loads
   - Verify workflow editor loads
   - Test dry-run endpoint

3. **Functional Test:**
   - Create test ticket
   - Trigger workflow manually
   - Verify execution in database
   - Check for errors

4. **Parallel Run:**
   - Keep old engine enabled (commented line in webhook-service.ts)
   - Enable new engine
   - Compare results for 3-7 days
   - Monitor for discrepancies

### Phase 2: Production Deployment

**Prerequisites:**
- [ ] Staging tests pass (>99% match with old engine)
- [ ] No errors in execution logs
- [ ] Performance acceptable (<1s avg execution time)
- [ ] Admin UI stable and functional

**Deployment Steps:**
1. Run migration 036 in production
2. Deploy code (new engine runs alongside old)
3. Monitor for 7 days
4. If successful, disable old engine
5. Monitor for another 7 days

**Rollback Plan:**
- Disable master switch in admin UI (immediate)
- Comment out ticketWorkflowEngine.processTrigger() in webhook-service.ts
- Uncomment old workflowEngine.process() call
- Redeploy

### Phase 3: Deprecation (After 30 days)

- Mark old `workflow-engine.ts` as deprecated
- Archive old `workflow_executions` and `workflow_execution_steps` tables
- Remove old engine code after 6 months
- Remove old tables after 1 year (with backup)

---

## Troubleshooting

### Migration Fails

**Error: "relation already exists"**
- Tables may exist from previous attempt
- Check: `SELECT * FROM ticket_workflows;`
- Solution: Drop tables and re-run, or use `IF NOT EXISTS` pattern (already in migration)

**Error: "column does not exist"**
- Check table schema matches migration
- Verify no column name typos

### API Returns 500 Error

**Check server logs:**
```bash
# Development
npm run dev
# Look for [API] errors in console

# Production
pm2 logs pulse
```

**Common issues:**
- Database connection failed → Check DATABASE_URL
- Missing import → Check file paths and exports
- Type mismatch → Check TypeScript types

### Workflow Not Executing

**Check master switch:**
```sql
SELECT key, value FROM workflow_settings WHERE key = 'workflow_engine_enabled';
```

**Check workflow is active:**
```sql
SELECT id, name, is_active FROM ticket_workflows WHERE id = 1;
```

**Check trigger conditions:**
- Verify ticket matches trigger_conditions
- Check ticket.ticket_category is in [2, 3, 159, 161]
- Check ticket.creator_resource_id not in exclusion list

**Check logs:**
```bash
# Look for [TICKET-WORKFLOW] messages
grep -i "ticket-workflow" logs/*.log
```

### Steps Not Executing

**Check step is active:**
```sql
SELECT step_order, name, is_active FROM ticket_workflow_steps WHERE workflow_id = 1;
```

**Check step condition:**
- If step has condition, verify it evaluates to true
- Check context has required fields

**Check for errors:**
```sql
SELECT step_order, step_name, status, error_message
FROM ticket_workflow_execution_steps
WHERE execution_id = ?;
```

## Performance Metrics

**Target Performance:**
- Workflow execution: <1s for robotic classification
- Workflow execution: <3s for hybrid (with AI)
- API response time: <500ms for list endpoints
- Admin UI load time: <2s

**Monitoring Queries:**

```sql
-- Average execution time
SELECT
  AVG(duration_ms) as avg_ms,
  MAX(duration_ms) as max_ms,
  MIN(duration_ms) as min_ms
FROM ticket_workflow_executions
WHERE created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '24 hours';

-- Success rate
SELECT
  status,
  COUNT(*) as count,
  ROUND(COUNT(*) * 100.0 / SUM(COUNT(*)) OVER (), 2) as percentage
FROM ticket_workflow_executions
WHERE created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '24 hours'
GROUP BY status;

-- Classification method breakdown
SELECT
  classification_method,
  COUNT(*) as count
FROM ticket_workflow_executions
WHERE created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '24 hours'
  AND status = 'completed'
GROUP BY classification_method;
```

## Support & Documentation

**For Issues:**
1. Check this troubleshooting guide
2. Review server logs
3. Check database execution records
4. Review `docs/webhook-pipeline-engine.md` for similar patterns

**For Questions:**
1. Refer to `docs/workflow-refactoring-progress.md` for architecture details
2. Review type definitions in `lib/types/ticket-workflow.ts`
3. Check step executor code in `lib/services/workflow-steps/`

**For Development:**
1. TypeScript types are fully defined
2. All services are singleton exports
3. Follow existing patterns in pipeline engine
4. Use `toast` for user feedback in UI
5. Use `console.log` with `[TICKET-WORKFLOW]` prefix for logging
