# Development Mode with Mock AI Implementation Plan

> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.

**Goal:** Add `DEPLOYMENT_MODE` environment variable that disables AI API calls in DEV mode and isolates dev data to separate database and file paths.

**Architecture:**
- Separate data paths (`data/agent_data/` vs `data/dev_agent_data/`) and databases (`trading.db` vs `trading_dev.db`) based on `DEPLOYMENT_MODE`
- Mock AI provider returns static but rotating responses (Day 1: AAPL, Day 2: MSFT, Day 3: GOOGL, etc.)
- Dev database reset on startup (unless `PRESERVE_DEV_DATA=true`)
- Warning logs when production API keys detected in DEV mode
- API responses include `deployment_mode` field

**Tech Stack:** Python 3.10+, LangChain, SQLite, environment variables

---

## Task 1: Update Environment Configuration

**Files:**
- Modify: `.env.example`
- Read: `.env.example:1-42`

**Step 1: Document deployment mode variables**

Add the following to `.env.example` after line 42:

```bash
# =============================================================================
# Deployment Mode Configuration
# =============================================================================
# DEPLOYMENT_MODE controls AI model calls and data isolation
# - PROD: Real AI API calls, uses data/agent_data/ and data/trading.db
# - DEV: Mock AI responses, uses data/dev_agent_data/ and data/trading_dev.db
DEPLOYMENT_MODE=PROD

# Preserve dev data between runs (DEV mode only)
# Set to true to keep dev database and files for debugging
PRESERVE_DEV_DATA=false
```

**Step 2: Verify changes**

Run: `cat .env.example`
Expected: New section appears at end of file

**Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add .env.example
git commit -m "docs: add DEPLOYMENT_MODE configuration to env example"
```

## Task 2: Create Mock AI Provider

**Files:**
- Create: `agent/mock_provider/mock_ai_provider.py`
- Create: `agent/mock_provider/__init__.py`

**Step 1: Write test for mock provider rotation**

Create `tests/unit/test_mock_provider.py`:

```python

def test_mock_provider_rotates_stocks():
    """Test that mock provider returns different stocks on different days"""
    provider = MockAIProvider()

    # Day 1 should recommend AAPL
    response1 = provider.generate_response("2025-01-01", step=0)
    assert "AAPL" in response1
    assert "<FINISH_SIGNAL>" in response1

    # Day 2 should recommend MSFT
    response2 = provider.generate_response("2025-01-02", step=0)
    assert "MSFT" in response2
    assert "<FINISH_SIGNAL>" in response2

**Files:**
- Modify: `api/database.py:16-39`

**Step 1: Write test for automatic db path resolution**

Add to `tests/unit/test_dev_database.py`:

```python
def test_get_db_connection_resolves_dev_path():
    """Test that get_db_connection uses dev path in DEV mode"""
    import os
    os.environ["DEPLOYMENT_MODE"] = "DEV"

**Step 3: Update database module with deployment mode support**

Modify `api/database.py`, add import at top after line 13:

```python
from tools.deployment_config import get_db_path
```

Modify `get_db_connection` function (lines 16-39):

```python

## Task 7: Update BaseAgent to Support Mock AI Provider

**Files:**
- Modify: `agent/base_agent/base_agent.py:146-189`

**Step 1: Write test for BaseAgent mock integration**

Create `tests/unit/test_base_agent_mock.py`:

```python
import os
import pytest
import asyncio
from agent.base_agent.base_agent import BaseAgent


def test_base_agent_uses_mock_in_dev_mode():
    """Test BaseAgent uses mock model when DEPLOYMENT_MODE=DEV"""
    os.environ["DEPLOYMENT_MODE"] = "DEV"

    agent = BaseAgent(
        signature="test-agent",

    )

    # Should be converted to dev path
    assert "dev_agent_data" in agent.base_log_path

    os.environ["DEPLOYMENT_MODE"] = "PROD"
```

**Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**

Run: `pytest tests/unit/test_base_agent_mock.py -v`
Expected: FAIL (BaseAgent doesn't use mock yet)

**Step 3: Update BaseAgent __init__ to handle deployment mode**

Modify `agent/base_agent/base_agent.py`, add imports after line 25:

```python
from tools.deployment_config import (
    is_dev_mode,
    get_data_path,
    log_api_key_warning,
    get_deployment_mode
)
```

Modify `__init__` method around line 103 to update log path:

```python
        # Set log path (apply deployment mode path resolution)
        self.base_log_path = get_data_path(log_path or "./data/agent_data")
```

**Step 4: Update BaseAgent initialize() to use mock in dev mode**

Modify `initialize` method (lines 146-189):

```python
    async def initialize(self) -> None:
        """Initialize MCP client and AI model"""
        print(f"🚀 Initializing agent: {self.signature}")

            self.client = MultiServerMCPClient(self.mcp_config)

            # Get tools
            self.tools = await self.client.get_tools()
            if not self.tools:
                print("⚠️  Warning: No MCP tools loaded. MCP services may not be running.")
                print(f"   MCP configuration: {self.mcp_config}")

            if is_dev_mode():
                from agent.mock_provider import MockChatModel
                self.model = MockChatModel(date="2025-01-01")  # Date will be updated per session

            else:
                self.model = ChatOpenAI(

        # because system_prompt needs the current date and price information

        print(f"✅ Agent {self.signature} initialization completed")
```

**Step 5: Update run_trading_session to set date on mock model**

Modify `run_trading_session` method around line 236:

```python
    async def run_trading_session(self, today_date: str) -> None:
        """
        Run single day trading session

        Args:

        # Update mock model date if in dev mode
        if is_dev_mode():
            self.model.date = today_date

        # Set up logging
        log_file = self._setup_logging(today_date)

        # Update system prompt
        self.agent = create_agent(
            self.model,
            tools=self.tools,
            system_prompt=get_agent_system_prompt(today_date, self.signature),
        )

        # ... rest of method unchanged
```

**Step 6: Run tests to verify they pass**

Run: `pytest tests/unit/test_base_agent_mock.py -v`
Expected: PASS (3 tests)

**Step 7: Commit**

```bash
git add agent/base_agent/base_agent.py tests/unit/test_base_agent_mock.py
git commit -m "feat: integrate mock AI provider in BaseAgent for DEV mode"
```

## Task 8: Update Main Entry Point with Dev Database Initialization

**Files:**
- Modify: `main.py:94-110`

**Step 1: Add import statements**

Add after line 11 in `main.py`:

```python
from tools.deployment_config import (
    is_dev_mode,
    get_deployment_mode,
    log_api_key_warning
)
from api.database import initialize_dev_database
```

**Step 2: Add dev initialization before main loop**

Modify `main` function, add after line 101 (after config is loaded):

```python
    # Initialize dev environment if needed
    if is_dev_mode():
        print("=" * 60)
        print("🛠️  DEVELOPMENT MODE ACTIVE")
        print("=" * 60)
        log_api_key_warning()

        # Initialize dev database (reset unless PRESERVE_DEV_DATA=true)
        from tools.deployment_config import get_db_path
        dev_db_path = get_db_path("data/jobs.db")
        initialize_dev_database(dev_db_path)
        print("=" * 60)
```

**Step 3: Test dev mode initialization manually**

Run: `DEPLOYMENT_MODE=DEV python main.py configs/default_config.json`
Expected: Prints "DEVELOPMENT MODE ACTIVE" and initializes dev database

**Step 4: Verify database files**

Run: `ls -la data/*.db`
Expected: Shows `jobs_dev.db` file

**Step 5: Commit**

```bash
git add main.py
git commit -m "feat: add dev mode initialization to main entry point"
```

## Task 9: Update API to Include Deployment Mode Flag

**Files:**
- Modify: `api/main.py` (find API response locations)
- Create: `tests/integration/test_api_deployment_flag.py`

**Step 1: Find API response generation locations**

Run: `grep -n "return.*job" api/main.py | head -20`

**Step 2: Write test for API deployment mode flag**

Create `tests/integration/test_api_deployment_flag.py`:

```python
import os
import pytest
from fastapi.testclient import TestClient


def test_api_includes_deployment_mode_flag():
    """Test API responses include deployment_mode field"""
    os.environ["DEPLOYMENT_MODE"] = "DEV"

    from api.main import app
    client = TestClient(app)

    # Test GET /health endpoint (should include deployment info)
    response = client.get("/health")
    assert response.status_code == 200
    data = response.json()

    assert "deployment_mode" in data
    assert data["deployment_mode"] == "DEV"


def test_job_response_includes_deployment_mode():
    """Test job creation response includes deployment mode"""
    os.environ["DEPLOYMENT_MODE"] = "PROD"

    from api.main import app
    client = TestClient(app)

    # Create a test job
    config = {
        "agent_type": "BaseAgent",
        "date_range": {"init_date": "2025-01-01", "end_date": "2025-01-02"},
        "models": [{"name": "test", "basemodel": "mock/test", "signature": "test", "enabled": True}]
    }

    response = client.post("/run", json={"config": config})

    if response.status_code == 200:
        data = response.json()
        assert "deployment_mode" in data
        assert data["deployment_mode"] == "PROD"
```

**Step 3: Run test to verify it fails**

Run: `pytest tests/integration/test_api_deployment_flag.py -v`
Expected: FAIL (deployment_mode not in response)

**Step 4: Update API responses to include deployment mode**

Find `api/main.py` and locate response return statements. Add deployment mode to responses.

For `/health` endpoint:

```python
@app.get("/health")
async def health_check():
    """Health check endpoint"""
    from tools.deployment_config import get_deployment_mode_dict
    return {
        "status": "healthy",
        **get_deployment_mode_dict()
    }
```

For job-related endpoints, add to response dict:

```python
from tools.deployment_config import get_deployment_mode_dict

# In response returns, add:
{
    # ... existing fields
    **get_deployment_mode_dict()
}
```

**Step 5: Run test to verify it passes**

Run: `pytest tests/integration/test_api_deployment_flag.py -v`
Expected: PASS

**Step 6: Commit**

```bash
git add api/main.py tests/integration/test_api_deployment_flag.py
git commit -m "feat: add deployment_mode flag to API responses"
```

---

## Task 10: Update Documentation

**Files:**
- Modify: `README.md`
- Modify: `API_REFERENCE.md`
- Modify: `CLAUDE.md`

**Step 1: Update README with dev mode section**

Add to `README.md` after the "Configuration" section:

```markdown
## Development Mode

AI-Trader supports a development mode that mocks AI API calls for testing without costs.

### Quick Start

```bash
# Set environment variables
export DEPLOYMENT_MODE=DEV
export PRESERVE_DEV_DATA=false

# Run simulation (uses mock AI, isolated dev database)
python main.py configs/default_config.json
```

### How It Works

**DEPLOYMENT_MODE=DEV:**
- Mock AI responses (no API calls to OpenAI/Anthropic)
- Separate database: `data/trading_dev.db`
- Separate data directory: `data/dev_agent_data/`
- Dev database reset on startup (unless PRESERVE_DEV_DATA=true)
- Warnings logged if production API keys detected

**DEPLOYMENT_MODE=PROD** (default):
- Real AI API calls
- Production database: `data/trading.db`
- Production data directory: `data/agent_data/`

### Mock AI Behavior

The mock provider returns deterministic responses that rotate through stocks:
- Day 1: AAPL
- Day 2: MSFT
- Day 3: GOOGL
- Etc. (cycles through 10 stocks)

Each mock response includes:
- Price queries for selected stock
- Buy order for 5 shares
- Finish signal to end session

### Environment Variables

```bash
DEPLOYMENT_MODE=PROD          # PROD or DEV (default: PROD)
PRESERVE_DEV_DATA=false      # Keep dev data between runs (default: false)
```

### Use Cases

- **Orchestration testing:** Verify agent loop, position tracking, logging
- **CI/CD pipelines:** Run tests without API costs
- **Configuration validation:** Test date ranges, model configs
- **Development iteration:** Rapid testing of code changes

### Limitations

- Mock responses are static (not context-aware)
- No actual market analysis
- Fixed trading pattern
- For logic testing only, not trading strategy validation
```

**Step 2: Update API_REFERENCE.md**

Add section after "Response Format":

```markdown
### Deployment Mode

All API responses include a `deployment_mode` field:

```json
{
  "job_id": "abc123",
  "status": "completed",
  "deployment_mode": "DEV",
  "is_dev_mode": true,
  "preserve_dev_data": false
}
```

**Fields:**
- `deployment_mode`: "PROD" or "DEV"
- `is_dev_mode`: Boolean flag
- `preserve_dev_data`: Null in PROD, boolean in DEV

**DEV Mode Behavior:**
- No AI API calls (mock responses)
- Separate dev database (`jobs_dev.db`)
- Separate data directory (`dev_agent_data/`)
- Database reset on startup (unless PRESERVE_DEV_DATA=true)
```

**Step 3: Update CLAUDE.md**

Add section to "Important Implementation Details":

```markdown
### Development Mode

**Deployment Modes:**
- `DEPLOYMENT_MODE=PROD`: Real AI calls, production data paths
- `DEPLOYMENT_MODE=DEV`: Mock AI, isolated dev environment

**DEV Mode Characteristics:**
- Uses `MockChatModel` from `agent/mock_provider/`
- Data paths: `data/dev_agent_data/` and `data/trading_dev.db`
- Dev database reset on startup (controlled by `PRESERVE_DEV_DATA`)
- API responses flagged with `deployment_mode` field

**Implementation Details:**
- Deployment config: `tools/deployment_config.py`
- Mock provider: `agent/mock_provider/mock_ai_provider.py`
- LangChain wrapper: `agent/mock_provider/mock_langchain_model.py`
- BaseAgent integration: `agent/base_agent/base_agent.py:146-189`
- Database handling: `api/database.py` (automatic path resolution)

**Testing Dev Mode:**
```bash
DEPLOYMENT_MODE=DEV python main.py configs/default_config.json
```
```

**Step 4: Verify documentation changes**

Run: `grep -n "DEPLOYMENT_MODE" README.md API_REFERENCE.md CLAUDE.md`
Expected: Shows added sections in all three files

**Step 5: Commit**

```bash
git add README.md API_REFERENCE.md CLAUDE.md
git commit -m "docs: add development mode documentation"
```

**Step 2: Run integration tests**

Run: `pytest tests/integration/test_dev_mode_e2e.py -v -s`
Expected: PASS (3 tests)

**Step 3: Run full test suite**

Run: `pytest tests/ -v`
Expected: All tests PASS

**Step 4: Commit**

```bash
git add tests/integration/test_dev_mode_e2e.py
git commit -m "test: add end-to-end integration tests for dev mode"
```

## Task 12: Manual Verification and Final Testing

**Files:**
- N/A (manual testing)

**Step 1: Test dev mode startup**

Run:
```bash
export DEPLOYMENT_MODE=DEV
python main.py configs/default_config.json
```

Verify output shows:
- "DEVELOPMENT MODE ACTIVE"
- "Using MockChatModel (DEV mode)"
- Warning about API keys (if .env has keys)
- Creates `data/trading_dev.db`
- Creates `data/dev_agent_data/`

**Step 2: Test prod mode (default)**

Run:
```bash
unset DEPLOYMENT_MODE
python main.py configs/default_config.json
```

Verify output shows:
- No "DEVELOPMENT MODE" message
- "Using [actual model] (PROD mode)"
- Uses `data/trading.db`
- Uses `data/agent_data/`

**Step 3: Test preserve flag**

Run:
```bash
export DEPLOYMENT_MODE=DEV
export PRESERVE_DEV_DATA=true
python main.py configs/default_config.json
# Run again
python main.py configs/default_config.json
```

Verify:
- Second run shows "PRESERVE_DEV_DATA=true"
- Dev database not deleted between runs
- Position data persists

**Step 4: Verify database isolation**

Run:
```bash
ls -la data/*.db
sqlite3 data/trading_dev.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM jobs"
sqlite3 data/trading.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM jobs"
```

Verify:
- Both databases exist
- Contain different data
- Dev database can be deleted without affecting prod

**Step 5: Test API with deployment flag**

Run:
```bash
export DEPLOYMENT_MODE=DEV
uvicorn api.main:app --reload
# In another terminal:
curl http://localhost:8000/health
```

Verify response includes:
```json
{
  "status": "healthy",
  "deployment_mode": "DEV",
  "is_dev_mode": true,
  "preserve_dev_data": false
}
```

**Step 6: Document any issues found**

Create issue tickets for any bugs discovered during manual testing.

**Step 7: Final commit**

```bash
# If any fixes were needed during manual testing:
git add .
git commit -m "fix: address issues found during manual verification"

# Tag the feature
git tag -a v0.1.0-dev-mode -m "Add development mode with mock AI provider"
```

## Summary

This implementation adds a complete development mode feature to AI-Trader:

✅ **Environment Configuration**
- `DEPLOYMENT_MODE` (PROD/DEV)
- `PRESERVE_DEV_DATA` flag
- Documentation in `.env.example`

✅ **Mock AI Provider**
- Deterministic stock rotation
- LangChain-compatible wrapper
- No API costs in DEV mode

✅ **Data Isolation**
- Separate dev database (`trading_dev.db`)
- Separate dev data directory (`dev_agent_data/`)
- Automatic path resolution

✅ **Database Management**
- Dev database reset on startup
- Preserve flag for debugging
- Cleanup utilities

✅ **Integration**
- BaseAgent mock integration
- Main entry point initialization
- API deployment mode flag

✅ **Testing**
- Unit tests for all components
- Integration tests for E2E flows
- Manual verification checklist

✅ **Documentation**
- README with dev mode guide
- API reference updates
- CLAUDE.md implementation notes

**Total Tasks:** 12
**Estimated Time:** 2-3 hours (bite-sized tasks, frequent commits)
**Test Coverage:** Unit + Integration + Manual

**Key Design Decisions:**
- Deployment mode controlled by environment variable (not config file)
- Automatic path resolution (transparent to existing code)
- Mock provider uses rotation for test variety
- Preserve flag for debugging (default: false for clean slate)
- API responses flagged for observability
