Persistence & Performance Auditor (L2 Coordinator)

Coordinates 4 specialized audit workers to perform database efficiency, transaction correctness, runtime performance, and resource lifecycle analysis.

Purpose & Scope

• Coordinates 4 audit workers (ln-651, ln-652, ln-653, ln-654) running in parallel
• Research current best practices for detected DB, ORM, async framework via MCP tools ONCE
• Pass shared context to all workers (token-efficient)
• Aggregate worker results into single consolidated report
• Write report to docs/project/persistence_audit.md (file-based, no task creation)
• Manual invocation by user; not part of Story pipeline
• Independent from ln-620 (can be run separately or after ln-620)

Workflow

MANDATORY READ: Load shared/references/two_layer_detection.md for detection methodology.

1. Discovery: Load tech_stack.md, package manifests, detect DB/ORM/async framework, auto-discover Team ID
2. Research: Query MCP tools for DB/ORM/async best practices ONCE
3. Build Context: Create contextStore with best practices + DB-specific metadata
4. Prepare Output: Create output directory
5. Delegate: 4 workers in PARALLEL
6. Aggregate: Collect worker results, calculate scores
7. Write Report: Save to docs/project/persistence_audit.md
8. Results Log: Append trend row
9. Cleanup: Delete worker files

Phase 1: Discovery

Load project metadata:

• docs/project/tech_stack.md - detect DB, ORM, async framework
• Package manifests: requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, package.json, go.mod
• Auto-discover Team ID from docs/tasks/kanban_board.md

Extract DB-specific metadata:

Scan for triggers and event channels:

Grep("pg_notify|NOTIFY|CREATE TRIGGER", path="alembic/versions/")
  OR path="migrations/"
→ Store: db_config.triggers = [{table, event, function, channel_name}]

Grep("LISTEN\s+\w+|\.subscribe\(|\.on\(.*channel|redis.*subscribe", path="src/")
  OR path="app/"
→ Store: db_config.event_subscribers = [{channel_name, file, line, technology}]

Phase 2: Research Best Practices (ONCE)

For each detected technology:

Build contextStore:

{
  "tech_stack": {"db": "postgresql", "orm": "sqlalchemy", "async": "asyncio"},
  "best_practices": {"sqlalchemy": {...}, "postgresql": {...}, "asyncio": {...}},
  "db_config": {
    "expire_on_commit": false,
    "triggers": [{"table": "jobs", "event": "UPDATE", "function": "notify_job_events", "channel_name": "job_events"}],
    "event_subscribers": [{"channel_name": "job_events", "file": "src/listeners/job_listener.py", "line": 12, "technology": "postgresql"}],
    "pool_size": 10
  },
  "codebase_root": "/project",
  "output_dir": "docs/project/.audit/ln-650/{YYYY-MM-DD}"
}

Phase 3: Prepare Output Directory

mkdir -p {output_dir}   # Worker files cleaned up after consolidation (Phase 8)

Phase 4: Delegate to Workers

MANDATORY READ: Load shared/references/task_delegation_pattern.md and shared/references/audit_worker_core_contract.md.

Workers (ALL 4 in PARALLEL):

| Worker | Priority | What It Audits

---|---|---|---
1 | ln-651-query-efficiency-auditor | HIGH | Redundant queries, N-UPDATE loops, over-fetching, caching scope
2 | ln-652-transaction-correctness-auditor | HIGH | Commit patterns, trigger interaction, transaction scope, rollback
3 | ln-653-runtime-performance-auditor | MEDIUM | Blocking IO in async, allocations, sync sleep, string concat
4 | ln-654-resource-lifecycle-auditor | HIGH | Session scope mismatch, streaming resource holding, pool config, cleanup

Invocation (4 workers in PARALLEL):

FOR EACH worker IN [ln-651, ln-652, ln-653, ln-654]:
  Agent(description: "Audit via " + worker,
       prompt: "Execute audit worker.

Step 1: Invoke worker:
  Skill(skill: \"" + worker + "\")

CONTEXT:
" + JSON.stringify(contextStore),
       subagent_type: "general-purpose")

Worker Output Contract (File-Based):

Workers follow the shared file-based audit contract, write reports to {output_dir}/, and return compact score/severity summaries for aggregation.

Expected summary format:

Report written: docs/project/.audit/ln-650/{YYYY-MM-DD}/651-query-efficiency.md
Score: 6.0/10 | Issues: 8 (C:0 H:3 M:4 L:1)

Phase 5: Aggregate Results (File-Based)

MANDATORY READ: Load shared/references/audit_coordinator_aggregation.md and shared/references/context_validation.md.

Use the shared aggregation pattern for parsing worker summaries, rolling up severity totals, reading worker files, and assembling the final report.

Local rules for this coordinator:

• Overall score = average of 4 category scores.
• Keep findings grouped by the 4 worker categories in the final report.
• Append one results-log row with Skill=ln-650, Metric=overall_score, Scale=0-10.

Context Validation:

Apply Rules 1, 6 to merged findings:

FOR EACH finding WHERE severity IN (HIGH, MEDIUM):
  # Rule 1: ADR/Planned Override
  IF finding matches ADR → advisory "[Planned: ADR-XXX]"

  # Rule 6: Execution Context
  IF finding.check IN (blocking_io, redundant_fetch, transaction_wide, cpu_bound):
    context = 0
    - Function in __init__/setup/bootstrap/migrate → context += 1
    - File in tasks/jobs/cron/                      → context += 1
    - Has timeout/safeguard nearby                  → context += 1
    - Small data (<100KB file, <100 items dataset)  → context += 1
    IF context >= 3 → advisory
    IF context >= 1 → severity -= 1

Downgraded findings → "Advisory Findings" section in report.
Recalculate overall score excluding advisory findings from penalty.

Exempt: Missing rollback CRITICAL, N-UPDATE loops in hot paths.

Phase 6: Write Report

Write consolidated report to docs/project/persistence_audit.md with the Output Format above.

Phase 7: Append Results Log

MANDATORY READ: Load shared/references/results_log_pattern.md

Append one row to docs/project/.audit/results_log.md with: Skill=ln-650, Metric=overall_score, Scale=0-10, Score from Phase 6 report. Calculate Delta vs previous ln-650 row. Create file with header if missing. Rolling window: max 50 entries.

Critical Rules

• Single context gathering: Research best practices ONCE, pass contextStore to all workers
• Parallel execution: All 4 workers run in PARALLEL
• Trigger discovery: Scan migrations for triggers/NOTIFY before delegating (pass to ln-652)
• Metadata-only loading: Coordinator loads metadata; workers load full file contents
• Do not audit: Coordinator orchestrates only; audit logic lives in workers

Phase 8: Cleanup Worker Files

rm -rf {output_dir}

Delete the dated output directory (docs/project/.audit/ln-650/{YYYY-MM-DD}/). The consolidated report and results log already preserve all audit data.

Definition of Done

• Tech stack discovered (DB type, ORM, async framework)
• DB-specific metadata extracted (triggers, session config, pool settings)
• Best practices researched via MCP tools
• contextStore built with output_dir = docs/project/.audit/ln-650/{YYYY-MM-DD}
• Output directory created for worker reports
• All 4 workers invoked in PARALLEL and completed; each wrote report to {output_dir}/
• Results aggregated from return values (scores) + file reads (findings tables)
• Compliance score calculated per category + overall
• Executive Summary included
• Report written to docs/project/persistence_audit.md
• Sources consulted listed with URLs
• Worker output directory cleaned up after consolidation

Workers

• ln-651-query-efficiency-auditor
• ln-652-transaction-correctness-auditor
• ln-653-runtime-performance-auditor
• ln-654-resource-lifecycle-auditor

Phase 9: Meta-Analysis

MANDATORY READ: Load shared/references/meta_analysis_protocol.md

Skill type: review-coordinator (workers only). Run after all phases complete. Output to chat using the review-coordinator — workers only format.

Reference Files

• Tech stack: docs/project/tech_stack.md
• Kanban board: docs/tasks/kanban_board.md
• Task delegation pattern: shared/references/task_delegation_pattern.md
• Aggregation pattern: shared/references/audit_coordinator_aggregation.md
• MANDATORY READ: shared/references/research_tool_fallback.md
