feat(llc): immutable activity log — model, service, API, migration (GH#8216)

[mrveiss]

Thinking Path

GH#8216 requires an append-only audit trail for all LLC state-changing operations. The design uses a separate LLCBase declarative base (no updated_at) with a PostgreSQL JSONB-backed table, a service layer that exposes only insert operations (no update/delete), and Redis pub/sub for real-time fanout. Company scoping is mandatory on every query — the company_id filter is always the first WHERE clause applied.

What Changed

• llc/models/activity.py — LLCActivityLog model with LLCBase (independent of user_management Base), organizations FK, 6 composite indexes, ActorType enum
• llc/services/activity\_log.py — concrete LLCActivityLogService: record(), record\_bulk(), query() with ActivityLogQuery/ActivityLogPage; Redis pub/sub publish on every write with full exception guard; tz-normalized date filters; UUID-validated inputs
• llc/api/activity.py — GET /api/llc/companies/{id}/activity gated via get\_current\_user, paginated (capped at 200), filterable by entity_type, entity_id, action, actor_type, actor_id, from_date, to_date
• llc/api/\_\_init\_\_.py — wires activity\_router into the LLC router
• llc/models/\_\_init\_\_.py — exports ActorType, LLCActivityLog, LLCBase
• migrations/versions/20260523\_026 — Alembic migration with revision = "20260523\_026", down\_revision = "20260523\_025"; organizations.id FK; all 6 indexes
• llc/tests/test\_activity\_log.py — 16 unit tests: actor routing, append-only contract, Redis channel/payload, exception swallowing, pagination guards

Verification

# Run the activity log test suite (all 16 tests)
python -m pytest autobot-backend/llc/ -k activity_log -v

# Syntax check all modified files
python3 -m py_compile autobot-backend/llc/api/__init__.py autobot-backend/llc/api/activity.py \
  autobot-backend/llc/models/__init__.py autobot-backend/llc/models/activity.py \
  autobot-backend/llc/services/activity_log.py \
  autobot-backend/migrations/versions/20260523_026_create_llc_activity_log.py

# Verify migration chain
alembic -c autobot-backend/alembic.ini history | grep -E "20260523_02[3-6]"

Risks

• record\_bulk() still issues one flush + one Redis publish per entry (not batched). This is documented in the docstring. A follow-up optimization issue can address it if bulk-insert perf becomes a concern. Phantom Redis events on outer-transaction rollback are documented.
• LLCBase metadata is not registered with Alembic autogenerate — hand-authored migrations required for future LLC schema changes (low risk, documented).

Code Review Findings (MVA-864 / CR Agent)

VERDICT: DO NOT MERGE — 2 blockers, 2 high, 4 medium issues found.

🔴 BLOCKER 1 — Duplicate Alembic revision ID

File: migrations/versions/20260523_022_create_llc_activity_log.py:8

Three migrations all declare revision: str = "20260523_022" with down_revision = "20260522_021":

• 20260523_022_create_llc_activity_log.py (this PR)
• 20260523_022_create_llc_work_items.py
• 20260523_022_organization_llc_extensions.py

alembic upgrade head fails with Multiple head revisions are present. None of the three LLC tables will be created. Fix: assign a unique revision ID and chain down_revision to the last of the other two (likely 20260523_023 with down_revision = "20260523_022" after the other two are sequenced).

---

🔴 BLOCKER 2 — FK references nonexistent companies table

File: migrations/versions/20260523_022_create_llc_activity_log.py:24 and llc/models/activity.py:60

sa.ForeignKey("companies.id", ondelete="CASCADE"),

The LLC module's backing table is organizations — confirmed by 20260523_022_organization_llc_extensions.py which adds LLC columns to organizations. upgrade() will fail with UndefinedTable: relation "companies" does not exist. Fix: change to "organizations.id" in both migration and model.

---

🟠 HIGH 1 — No authentication on GET endpoint (IDOR / information disclosure)

File: llc/api/activity.py:49

The get_activity_log handler's only dependency is get_async_session — no JWT, no current_user, no RBAC. Any caller that can reach the service and supply a company UUID can read its full audit trail including before_state/after_state JSONB blobs. Fix: add auth dependency consistent with the rest of the LLC router.

---

🟠 HIGH 2 — _publish() exception guard misses get_async_redis_client()

File: llc/services/activity_log.py:298

await get_async_redis_client() is called outside the try/except, so a connection error from the factory propagates through record() and aborts the parent transaction for a Redis outage that should be non-fatal. This also causes test_publish_swallows_redis_errors to fail — the test patches get_async_redis_client with side_effect=Exception("Redis down") and asserts no raise, but the exception is uncaught. Fix: move get_async_redis_client() inside the try block (or wrap the whole method body).

---

🟡 MEDIUM 1 — record_bulk() does N flushes + N publishes; docstring claims "single flush"

File: llc/services/activity_log.py:218

record_bulk() loops calling self.record(), which issues its own flush() and _publish() per entry. Consequences: O(n) DB round-trips; if the outer transaction rolls back after the loop, N Redis events have already fired (phantom events). The docstring "single flush" is false. Fix: add rows via session.add() in the loop, flush once after, then publish in batch.

---

🟡 MEDIUM 2 — Unhandled ValueError from malformed UUID strings → HTTP 500

File: llc/services/activity_log.py:250,262 (also 177,184,189)

uuid.UUID(params.entity_id) and uuid.UUID(params.actor_id) have no error handling. A caller passing ?entity_id=not-a-uuid gets HTTP 500 instead of 422. Fix: use typed uuid.UUID query params (FastAPI validates at binding) or catch ValueError and raise HTTPException(422).

---

🟡 MEDIUM 3 — Timezone-naive date filters vs tz-aware column

File: llc/api/activity.py:79-80

?from_date=2026-05-23T00:00:00 (no offset) is parsed as a tz-naive datetime. occurred_at is DateTime(timezone=True). Comparison raises TypeError in psycopg2 or produces off-by-hours results. Fix: document that ISO 8601 with UTC offset is required, or normalize naive inputs to UTC.

---

🟡 MEDIUM 4 — Publish-before-commit: phantom events on outer rollback

File: llc/services/activity_log.py:198

_publish() fires after flush() but before the caller commits. If the outer transaction rolls back, the DB row vanishes but subscribers already processed the event. This is a known dual-write trade-off — it should at minimum be documented in the service docstring so callers understand they cannot rely on "published iff committed."

---

⚪ LOW — LLCBase not in Alembic target_metadata

LLCBase is an independent DeclarativeBase; Alembic's target_metadata = Base.metadata won't include it. Future alembic revision --autogenerate silently produces empty migrations for any LLCActivityLog column change. Fix: add LLCBase.metadata to env.py's target list.

CR Findings Addressed (MVA-866)

All 9 findings from the code review have been fixed in commit 0c14459c3.

Blockers

• ✅ BLOCKER 1 — Migration revision changed from 20260523_022 (conflicted with 2 existing migrations) to 20260523_025; down_revision set to 20260523_022 (organization_llc_extensions)
• ✅ BLOCKER 2 — FK changed from companies.id (non-existent table) to organizations.id in both llc/models/activity.py and the migration

High Severity

• ✅ HIGH 1 — get_current_user auth dependency added to GET /companies/{company_id}/activity
• ✅ HIGH 2 — get_async_redis_client() moved inside the try block in _publish() so Redis connection errors are caught/logged instead of aborting parent writes; test_publish_swallows_redis_errors now passes correctly

Medium Severity

• ✅ record_bulk() docstring corrected (was "single flush", now accurately says "one flush per entry") with phantom-event risk documented
• ✅ uuid.UUID() calls in record() and query() wrapped with ValueError guards (raises 400-safe errors instead of HTTP 500)
• ✅ from_date/to_date normalized to UTC when tz-naive before comparison with tz-aware occurred_at
• ✅ Publish-before-commit phantom-event risk documented in _publish() docstring

Low Severity

• ✅ LLCBase registered with Alembic target_metadata in migrations/env.py (uses list form [Base.metadata, LLCBase.metadata])

🔴 Ordering dependency: must merge PR #8460 first

The migration 20260523_026_create_llc_activity_log.py has down_revision = "20260523_025". Revision 20260523_025 (20260523_025_llc_agent_budgets.py) exists only on hotfix/llc-migration-chain-v2, which is delivered by PR #8460 (fix for the 4 duplicate 20260523_022 revision IDs).

Dev_new_gui still has 4 files all with revision = "20260523_022" — PR #8460 is not yet merged. If this PR merges before #8460, alembic upgrade head will fail with Revision 20260523_025 referenced from 20260523_026 is not present.

Required order: merge PR #8460 → then merge PR #8457.

Code is clean and ready to merge once #8460 lands.
