Walkthrough

The PR modifies skip propagation logic in the graph traversal component by adjusting when edges are marked as skipped relative to recursive propagation calls, and changes behavior for taken edges to enqueue and start downstream node execution. Comprehensive unit tests validate the propagation behavior across various edge-state scenarios.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Skip Propagation Logic
api/core/workflow/graph_engine/graph_traversal/skip_propagator.py
Adjusted execution order: edges are now marked as skipped after recursive propagation calls; taken edges now trigger enqueue and execution start for downstream nodes.
Skip Propagator Tests
api/tests/unit_tests/core/workflow/graph_engine/graph_traversal/__init__.py, api/tests/unit_tests/core/workflow/graph_engine/graph_traversal/test_skip_propagator.py
Added test package initialization and comprehensive test suite validating skip propagation behavior for unknown, taken, and skipped edge states, as well as recursive propagation chains and mixed edge conditions.

Poem

🐰 The skip propagator hops with grace,
Through edges, nodes at quickened pace,
When taken paths call out their song,
Downstream dancers dance along,
Tests confirm the flow is right,
Graph traversal shines so bright! ✨

api/tests/unit_tests/core/workflow/graph_engine/graph_traversal/test_skip_propagator.py (1)

115-150: Consider adding mock for analyze_edge_states return value.

The test sets get_incoming_edges.return_value = [] to stop recursion, but doesn't mock analyze_edge_states.return_value. The recursive propagate_skip_from_edge calls will receive a MagicMock instead of the expected dict structure, which happens to work because MagicMock is truthy for the has_unknown check, stopping recursion by coincidence.

For explicit test behavior, consider adding:

# After line 135, add:
mock_state_manager.analyze_edge_states.return_value = {
    "has_unknown": True,
    "has_taken": False,
    "all_skipped": False,
}

1-1: LGTM!

Standard package initialization with appropriate docstring.

api/tests/unit_tests/core/workflow/graph_engine/graph_traversal/test_skip_propagator.py (4)

13-49: LGTM!

Test correctly verifies that propagation stops when unknown incoming edges exist, with proper mock setup and assertions.


51-81: LGTM!

Test correctly verifies the new behavior where start_execution and enqueue_node are both called when an edge is taken.


186-242: LGTM!

Well-designed test with proper side_effect usage to handle different nodes in the chain. The recursive propagation behavior is thoroughly verified.


244-307: LGTM!

Good comprehensive test covering all three main branches with proper mock resets between sub-tests.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Remove debug print statement before merging.

The print() statement on line 62 appears to be debug output that should not be in production code. It will pollute logs/stdout during workflow execution.

Swap the order: mark edge as skipped before recursive propagation.

At lines 85-86, propagate_skip_from_edge(edge.id) is called before mark_edge_skipped(edge.id). This causes the edge to remain in UNKNOWN state during the recursive call. When propagate_skip_from_edge calls analyze_edge_states on the downstream node's incoming edges, it will see has_unknown=True (because this edge hasn't been marked yet) and return early at line 57, stopping propagation prematurely.

In contrast, skip_branch_paths (lines 95-97) correctly marks the edge first before propagating. Swap the order to match that pattern:

for edge in outgoing_edges:
    self._state_manager.mark_edge_skipped(edge.id)
    self.propagate_skip_from_edge(edge.id)
