# FrStatData Restoration Plan

**Created:** 2025-12-22
**Status:** Planning Complete - Ready for Session 1
**Priority:** Medium - Backward Compatibility (v3-v8)

## Executive Summary

The FrStatData structure was removed from the frame specification in version 9, but backward compatibility with versions 3-8 must be maintained. Initial investigation revealed that **all infrastructure is already implemented** in the Universal namespace - the test simply wasn't being built.

**Key Finding:** This is likely a simple build issue rather than missing functionality.

---

## Background

### What is FrStatData?
FrStatData (Statistical Data Structure) stores static detector calibration and configuration data that remains valid over a time range. It was a core structure in frame specifications v3-v8 but was deprecated in v9.

### Version History
- **v3:** Initial implementation (no `representation` or `table` fields)
- **v4-v8:** Full implementation with `representation` and `table` fields
- **v8:** Added checksum support
- **v9:** **Removed from specification** (backward compatibility required)

### Current Test Status
- **Test executable:** Defined in CMakeLists.txt but not built
- **Test data:** v3-v8 test files exist in build directory
- **Build target:** Exists but never compiled
- **Error:** `FileNotFoundError: FrStatDataTest executable not found`

---

## Architecture Analysis

### ✅ Already Implemented - Universal::FrStatData

#### Core Class
**Location:** `src/Universal/FrStatData.hh`, `src/Universal/FrStatData.cc`

**Key Features:**
- Full constructor with name, comment, representation, timeStart, timeEnd, version
- Clone() method for deep copying
- Detector association via SetDetector()
- Data and table references (FrVect, FrTable)

#### ClassicIO Implementation
**Location:** `src/Universal/impl/FrStatDataClassicIO.hh`, `src/Universal/FrStatData.cc`

**Version-Specific I/O:**
```cpp
// v3: name, comment, timeStart, timeEnd, version, detector, data
if (frame_stream_version >= 4) {
    // v4-v8: + representation, table
    Stream >> io_representation >> obj->table;
}
if (frame_stream_version >= 8) {
    // v8: + chkSum
}
if (frame_stream_version >= 9) {
    // v9: Returns nullptr on read, no-op on write
    return nullptr;
}
```

**Key Methods:**
- `GetDescription(version)` - Returns version-specific field definitions
- `pBytes()` - Calculates byte size based on version
- `pCreate()` - Reads from stream (version-aware)
- `pWrite()` - Writes to stream (version-aware)
- `vTOCQuery()` - Provides name, detector, start, end, version to TOC

### ✅ Already Implemented - FrTOC Integration

#### FrTOCStatData
**Location:** `src/Universal/FrTOCStatData.hh`, `src/Universal/FrTOCStatData.cc`

**TOC Structure (v<9 only):**
```cpp
nStatType           // Number of unique FrStatData names
nameStat[]          // Array of names
detector[]          // Array of detector associations
nStatInstance[]     // Instance counts per name
nTotalStat          // (v8+) Sum of all instances
tStart[]            // Flattened array of start times
tEnd[]              // Flattened array of end times
version[]           // Flattened array of versions
positionStat[]      // Flattened array of file positions
```

**Key Methods:**
- `Bytes()` - Returns 0 for v>=9, calculates size for v<9
- `Load()` - Reads TOC StatData section (v<9 only)
- `write()` - Writes TOC StatData section (v<9 only)
- `QueryStatData()` - Collects metadata during WriteFrStatData()

**Version Handling:**
```cpp
if (frame_stream_version >= 9) {
    // Skip entirely - structure removed
} else if (frame_stream_version >= 8) {
    // v8: Includes nTotalStat field
    Stream >> nstat >> names >> detectors >> nstatinstances >> ntotalstat;
} else {
    // v3-v7: Calculate ntotalstat from sum of nstatinstances
    Stream >> nstat >> names >> detectors >> nstatinstances;
    ntotalstat = std::accumulate(nstatinstances.begin(), nstatinstances.end(), 0);
}
```

### ✅ Already Implemented - Query System

#### FrStatData::Query Class
**Location:** `src/Common/FrStatData.hh`, `src/Common/FrStatData.cc`

**Query Modes:**
```cpp
static const INT_4U ALL_VERSIONS = 0xFFFFFFFF;      // Match all versions
static const INT_4U LATEST_VERSION = 0xFFFFFFFE;    // Latest version only
// Or specific version number (4, 6, 7, 8)
```

**Workflow:**
1. `Reset(stream)` - Associates query with input stream
2. `Add(namePattern, detectorPattern, startTime, endTime, version)` - Searches FrTOC
3. Matches stored in `m_fr_stat_data` vector with file positions
4. `operator[index]` - Lazy loads FrStatData from position
5. Returns `boost::shared_ptr<FrStatData>` to user

**Pattern Matching:**
- Name pattern matching (exact or wildcard)
- Detector association filtering
- Time range overlap checking
- Version filtering (ALL, LATEST, or specific)

#### Stream Methods
**Location:** `src/Common/FrameStream.hh`, `src/Common/FrameStream.cc`

```cpp
// Read single FrStatData at file position
object_type ReadFrStatData(INT_8U Position);

// Query and return matching FrStatData entries
INT_4U ReadFrStatData(
    const std::string& NamePattern,
    const std::string& DetectorPattern,
    const GPSTime& StartTime,
    const GPSTime& EndTime,
    const INT_4U Version,
    FrStatData::Query& QueryResults
);
```

### ✅ Test Infrastructure

#### Test File
**Location:** `test/FrStatData.cc`

**Test Versions:** 4, 6, 7, 8 (skips 3, 5, 9)
- v3 skipped in test (but supported in code)
- v5 skipped (never implemented in frame spec)
- v9 skipped (removed from spec)

**Test Pattern:**
```cpp
void query_test(
    IFrameStream& FrameStream,
    int FrameSpec,
    const std::string& Leader,
    int Results,
    const std::string& NamePattern,
    const std::string& DetectorPattern,
    const GPSTime& Start,
    const GPSTime& Stop,
    INT_4U Version
) {
    FrStatData::Query results;
    FrameStream.ReadFrStatData(NamePattern, DetectorPattern, Start, Stop, Version, results);
    BOOST_CHECK(Results == results.size());
}
```

**Expected Test Data (from FrStatData8.icc):**
- 5 total FrStatData entries
- 2 for detector "d1" (SimpleStat, RepresentStat)
- 3 for detector "d2" (NameStat, VersionStat, TimeStat)
- Different time ranges and versions for filtering tests

#### Test Data Files
**Location:** Build directory `test/`

**Files Found:**
```

## Multi-Session Implementation Plan

### Session 1: Build and Verify Test (30-60 minutes)

**Goal:** Get FrStatDataTest building and determine if it passes

#### Tasks

1. **Build the test executable**
   ```bash
   cd /Users/efm/build/LDAS/ldas-tools/u/framecpp-prefix/src/framecpp-build
   make FrStatDataTest
   ```

2. **Run the test**
   ```bash
   ctest -R FrStatDataTest -V
   ```

3. **Analyze results**
   - **If PASS:** ✅ Document findings and commit
   - **If FAIL:** Analyze error messages and categorize issues

#### Potential Failure Modes

**Category A: Test Data Issues**
- Corrupted test files
- Wrong version written to files
- Missing FrStatData structures in files
- **Action:** Regenerate test data or verify file contents

**Category B: Query Failures**
- Pattern matching broken
- TOC lookup returning wrong positions
- Version filtering not working
- **Action:** Debug Query::Add() and FrTOCStatData::Load()

**Category C: I/O Errors**
- Version-specific field mismatches
- Detector associations lost
- Checksum failures (v8)
- **Action:** Debug pCreate/pWrite in FrStatData.cc

**Category D: TOC Integration Broken**
- QueryStatData() not called during write
- FrTOCStatData not populated
- Load() not parsing correctly
- **Action:** Debug WriteFrStatData() and FrTOC::Load()

#### Deliverables
- [ ] FrStatDataTest executable built successfully
- [ ] Test execution completed (pass or fail)
- [ ] Error categorization (if failures occur)
- [ ] Session notes in this document
- [ ] Commit if test passes

#### Success Criteria
- Test builds without errors
- Test runs without crashing
- Pass/fail status is clear
- Error messages (if any) provide actionable information

---

### Session 2: Fix Runtime Issues (1-2 hours)
**Status:** Conditional - Only if Session 1 reveals failures

**Scope:** Address specific bugs found in Session 1

#### Potential Fixes by Category

**Category A: Test Data Regeneration**
```bash
# Regenerate v4 test data
cd build/src/Utilities
./framecpp_sample --version 4 --output v4_test.gwf
# Write FrStatData structures
# Verify with framecpp_dump
```

**Category B: Query System Fixes**

**File:** `src/Common/FrStatData.cc`

Potential issues:
- Pattern matching regex broken
- Detector comparison case-sensitive when shouldn't be
- Time range overlap logic incorrect
- Version filtering edge cases

**Category C: I/O Fixes**

**File:** `src/Universal/FrStatData.cc`

Potential issues:
```cpp
// pCreate() - Reading
if (frame_stream_version >= 4) {
    Stream >> io_representation >> obj->table;
}
// Check: Is this conditional correct for all versions?

// pWrite() - Writing
if (frame_stream_version >= 9) {
    return;  // Skip writing
}
// Check: Is v9 check in right place?
```

**Category D: TOC Integration Fixes**

**File:** `src/Universal/FrTOCStatData.cc`

Potential issues:
- QueryStatData() not being called from WriteFrStatData()
- Load() parsing wrong number of entries
- v8 nTotalStat field mismatch
- Position offsets incorrect

#### Debugging Strategy

1. **Enable debug logging**
   ```bash
   export FRAMECPP_DEBUG_LEVEL=30
   export FRAMECPP_DEBUG_CHANNELS="framecpp.frtoc.stat"
   ```

2. **Add targeted debug output**
   - Query::Add() - Print matches found
   - Load() - Print nstat, names, positions
   - pCreate() - Print field values being read
   - QueryStatData() - Print when called

3. **Compare with working data types**
   - FrProcData uses same query pattern
   - FrAdcData uses same TOC pattern
   - Use as reference implementation

#### Deliverables
- [ ] All identified bugs fixed
- [ ] Tests passing for all v3-v8
- [ ] No regression in other tests
- [ ] Session notes documenting fixes
- [ ] Commit with clear message

#### Success Criteria
- All v4, v6, v7, v8 tests pass
- Query modes (ALL_VERSIONS, LATEST_VERSION) work
- Pattern matching returns correct results
- Detector associations preserved

---

### Session 3: Comprehensive Testing (1 hour)
**Status:** Conditional - Only if Session 2 made fixes

**Goal:** Verify fixes work across all edge cases

#### Test Matrix

**Versions:** v3, v4, v6, v7, v8 (skip v5, v9)

**Query Patterns:**
- Exact name match
- Wildcard name match (`*Stat`)
- Detector filtering
- Time range filtering (overlap, contained, before, after)
- Version filtering (ALL, LATEST, specific)

**Combinations:**
- Empty results (no matches)
- Single match
- Multiple matches
- All entries match

#### Test Cases to Add

```cpp
// Edge case: Empty query
query_test(stream, 4, "Empty", 0, "NoSuchName", "*", start, end, ALL_VERSIONS);

// Edge case: Detector mismatch
query_test(stream, 4, "WrongDetector", 0, "*", "d99", start, end, ALL_VERSIONS);

// Edge case: Time range before all data
query_test(stream, 4, "BeforeData", 0, "*", "*", early_start, early_end, ALL_VERSIONS);

// Edge case: LATEST_VERSION with duplicates
query_test(stream, 8, "LatestOnly", 1, "NameStat", "*", start, end, LATEST_VERSION);
```

#### Stress Testing

**Large File Test:**
- Write 100+ FrStatData entries
- Verify TOC indexing scales
- Check query performance

**Version Downconversion:**
- Write v8 file, read as v7 (should fail or skip unsupported fields)
- Write v4 file, read as v8 (should handle missing fields)

#### Deliverables
- [ ] All edge cases tested
- [ ] Stress tests passing
- [ ] Performance acceptable
- [ ] Session notes
- [ ] Commit

### Session 4: Documentation and Finalization (30 minutes)

**Goal:** Complete documentation and mark work as finished

#### Documentation Updates

**File: `CLAUDE.md`**

Add section:
```markdown
### FrStatData - Statistical Data Structure

**Status:** ✅ Fully Supported (v3-v8), Deprecated in v9

**Versions:**
- v3: Basic implementation (no representation or table fields)
- v4-v8: Full support with representation and table
- v8: Added checksum support
- v9: Removed from specification (backward read compatibility only)

**Key Features:**
- Query system with pattern matching
- Detector association
- Time range filtering
- Version filtering (ALL_VERSIONS, LATEST_VERSION)
- FrTOC integration for efficient lookup

**Test Coverage:**
- `test/FrStatData.cc` - Query and retrieval tests (v4, v6, v7, v8)
- Test data generated for v3-v8
- FrameL cross-validation for v3-v8

**Files:**
- `src/Universal/FrStatData.{hh,cc}` - Core implementation
- `src/Universal/FrTOCStatData.{hh,cc}` - TOC integration
- `src/Common/FrStatData.{hh,cc}` - Query system
- `src/Common/FrameStream.{hh,cc}` - ReadFrStatData/WriteFrStatData

**Known Limitations:**
- v9 files cannot write FrStatData (spec compliance)
- v3 files readable but not thoroughly tested
- Query system requires FrTOC (v4+)
```

#### Inline Code Comments

**File: `src/Universal/FrStatData.cc`**

Add comment at pCreate():
```cpp
// v9 Note: FrStatData removed from specification in v9
// Return nullptr to prevent reading deprecated structure
if (frame_stream_version >= 9) {
    return nullptr;
}
```

Add comment at pWrite():
```cpp
// v9 Note: FrStatData removed from specification in v9
// No-op to prevent writing deprecated structure
if (frame_stream_version >= 9) {
    return;
}
```

**File: `src/Universal/FrTOCStatData.cc`**

Add comment at Bytes():
```cpp
// v9 Note: FrStatData deprecated, TOC section omitted for v>=9
if (frame_stream_version < 9) {
    // Calculate TOC bytes for v3-v8
}
```

#### Test Data Verification

**Check test files are committed:**
```bash
git status test/FrStatData*.cc test/*stat*.icc
```

**Verify test data generation scripts:**
- Ensure framecpp_sample can create FrStatData test files
- Document generation commands in test/README or CMakeLists.txt

#### Final Verification

**Run full test suite:**
```bash
ctest -R "FrStatData|stat.*data" -V
```

**Check for regressions:**
```bash
ctest -R "FrProc|FrAdc|FrSim"  # Similar data types
```

#### Deliverables
- [ ] CLAUDE.md updated
- [ ] Inline comments added
- [ ] Test data verified
- [ ] Full test suite passing
- [ ] Final commit
- [ ] Update this plan with "COMPLETED" status

## Session Log

### Session 1: [COMPLETED]
**Date:** 2025-12-22
**Duration:** ~2 hours
**Status:** Test builds and runs, runtime bug identified

**Tasks Completed:**
- [x] Build test executable
- [x] Run test
- [x] Analyze results
- [x] Document findings

**Code Changes Made:**

1. **Fixed GPSTime namespace** (`test/FrStatData.cc:46,62`)
   - Added `#include "framecpp/FrameCPP.hh"`
   - Changed `using FrameCPP::GPSTime;` to use `LDASTools::AL::GPSTime` via frameCPP wrapper

2. **Migrated test files to Universal namespace** (all `.icc` files)
   - Changed `#include "framecpp/Version4/..."` to `#include "framecpp/..."`
   - Changed namespace from `Version_4/6/7/8` to `Universal`

3. **Added DMS to Decimal converter** (`src/Universal/impl/FrDetectorData.hh:271-277`)
   - Static method `ConvertDMSToDecimal(INT_2S Degrees, INT_2S Minutes, REAL_4 Seconds)`
   - Converts legacy v3-v7 degrees/minutes/seconds to v8+ decimal degrees
   - Properly handles negative coordinates (West/South)

4. **Fixed FrDetector constructor calls** (all `.icc` files)
   - Universal constructor requires 11 parameters (removed localTime parameter)
   - Added `Prefix` parameter (2nd arg)
   - Converted DMS coordinates using new utility for v4
   - Used decimal degrees directly for v6-v8

5. **Fixed FrameH constructor calls** (all `.icc` files)
   - Universal constructor requires 5-6 parameters (removed uLeapS, localTime)
   - Parameters: name, run, frame, GTime, dt, [dataQuality]

6. **Added FrameCPP::Initialize() call** (`test/FrStatData.cc:228`)
   - Required to register version-specific frame specifications
   - Without this, frame spec definitions aren't loaded
   - Pattern used by all other tests in codebase

**Results:**
- ✅ Test executable builds successfully
- ✅ Test runs without crashing
- ❌ Test fails with runtime error at query phase

**Error Found:**
```
fatal error: in "StatData": std::runtime_error: This function is depricated
as FrStatData structure was removed in version 9 of the Frame Specification
```

**Root Cause Analysis:**

**Location:** `src/Universal/FrTOC.cc:129-137` - `FrTOC::FrStatDataQuery()`

**Problem:** Method unconditionally throws deprecation error for ALL versions

**Call Stack:**
1. Test writes v4 frame with FrStatData
2. Test reads back and queries: `ReadFrStatData(pattern, detector, start, end, version, results)`
3. `FrStatData::Query::Add()` calls `toc->FrStatDataQuery()` (`src/Common/FrStatData.cc:61`)
4. Calls `Universal::FrTOC::FrStatDataQuery()` which throws unconditionally

**Expected Behavior:**
- For v<9: Delegate to `FrTOCStatData` query method (data exists in TOC)
- For v>=9: Throw deprecation error (structure removed from spec)

**Bug Category:** Category D (TOC Integration) - FrTOC not connected to FrTOCStatData

**Files Affected:**
- `src/Universal/FrTOC.cc` - FrStatDataQuery() needs version check
- Connection needed: `FrTOC::FrStatDataQuery()` → `FrTOCStatData::QueryStatData()`

**Next Session:**
- Session 2: Fix FrTOC::FrStatDataQuery() to check version and delegate properly
- Test Category: D (TOC Integration Fixes)

### Session 2: Fix FrTOC::FrStatDataQuery() Runtime Bug
**Date:** 2025-12-23
**Commit:** [To be added]
**Status:** ✅ COMPLETED

**Objective:** Fix runtime bug where `FrTOC::FrStatDataQuery()` unconditionally throws deprecation error for all versions, including v4-v8 where FrStatData is valid.

**Tasks Completed:**
- [x] Analyzed FrTOC architecture and inheritance hierarchy
- [x] Reviewed FrTOCStatData Load/Query implementation
- [x] Implemented version-agnostic query logic
- [x] Rebuilt and tested all versions (4, 6, 7, 8)
- [x] Verified all query patterns work correctly

**Code Changes Made:**

1. **Fixed FrTOC::FrStatDataQuery() implementation** (`src/Universal/FrTOC.cc:128-182`)
   - **Problem:** Method unconditionally threw deprecation error for all versions
   - **Solution:** Implemented version-agnostic query by accessing `m_info` map
   - **Key Insight:** FrTOCStatData::Load() already handles version logic (only populates `m_info` for v<9)
   - **Approach:** Query returns naturally empty for v9+ frames (no version check needed in query method)

   **Implementation:**
   ```cpp
   // Get StatData info map (will be empty for v9+ frames)
   const auto& stat_map = GetStat();

   // If no StatData in TOC (normal for v9), just return without error
   if (stat_map.empty()) {
       return;
   }

   // Iterate over TOC entries, match name pattern and time ranges
   for (const auto& stat_entry : stat_map) {
       // Use Regex/RegexMatch for pattern matching
       // Call Result.Add() for each matching instance
   }
   ```

**Architecture Decisions:**

1. **No Version Storage Required**
   - Initially considered adding `m_frame_version` member to FrTOCDataData
   - User suggested simpler approach: rely on existing version handling in Load()
   - **Winner:** Version-agnostic design - query works with whatever is in `m_info`

2. **Separation of Concerns**
   - **Load phase:** FrTOCStatData::Load() checks version, only populates for v<9
   - **Query phase:** FrTOC::FrStatDataQuery() just searches `m_info` (version-agnostic)
   - **Write phase:** FrTOCStatData::write() checks version, only writes for v<9
   - Clean design with version logic centralized in I/O methods

3. **Error Handling**
   - No exception thrown for v9 frames - query simply returns empty results
   - Consistent with how other deprecated features behave
   - Writer already ignores deprecated structures for v9

**Test Results:**

All versions (4, 6, 7, 8) pass all query variations:

✅ **Version 4:**
- Retrieval of all All: 5 of 5 ✓
- Retrieval of all d1: 2 of 2 ✓
- Retrieval of all d2: 3 of 3 ✓
- Retrieval for time 1000-1999: 3 of 3 ✓
- Retrieval of latest: 4 of 4 ✓
- Retrieval of latest d2: 2 of 2 ✓
- Negative test (no match): 0 of 0 ✓

✅ **Version 6:** All 7 queries pass
✅ **Version 7:** All 7 queries pass
✅ **Version 8:** All 7 queries pass

**Total:** 28/28 query tests passed

**Files Modified:**
- `src/Universal/FrTOC.cc` - Implemented FrStatDataQuery() with version-agnostic logic

**Root Cause Summary:**
- **Bug:** Placeholder implementation from Universal migration threw unconditionally
- **Fix:** Proper implementation delegates to FrTOCStatData data structures
- **Pattern:** Matches how other TOC query methods work (e.g., QueryAdc, QueryProc)

**Lessons Learned:**
1. Version handling should be centralized in I/O methods, not scattered in business logic
2. Version-agnostic designs are cleaner than explicit version checks everywhere
3. Trust the architecture - Load() already handles version filtering correctly

**Next Session:** Documentation and final commit

   - Test #67: FrStatDataTest - 28/28 queries passed ✓

2. **FrameCPP Integration Tests (v3-v8):**
   - v3: setup + verify ✓
   - v4: setup + verify ✓
   - v5: setup + verify ✓
   - v6: setup + verify + frcheck ✓
   - v7: setup + verify + frcheck ✓
   - v8: setup + verify + frcheck ✓

3. **FrameL Integration Tests (v3-v8):**
   - v3: setup ✓
   - v4: setup ✓
   - v5: setup ✓
   - v6: setup + frcheck ✓
   - v7: setup + frcheck ✓
   - v8: setup + frcheck ✓

**Verification Summary:**

✅ **Query Functionality:** All pattern matching, detector filtering, time range filtering, and version filtering work correctly

✅ **Write/Read Roundtrip:** Frame setup tests confirm FrStatData writes and reads back correctly for all versions

✅ **Frame Validation:** frcheck tests confirm frames with FrStatData meet frame specification requirements

✅ **Cross-Library Compatibility:** Both framecpp and framel (FrameL wrapper) work correctly

**Integration Confirmation:**

The FrStatData restoration is **fully complete and functional**:
- Universal namespace migration successful
- TOC query infrastructure properly connected
- All version-specific behaviors working correctly (v3-v8 support, v9 deprecation)
- No regressions in existing functionality
- Test suite integration verified

**Files Verified:**
- Test suite contains 25 FrStatData-related tests
- All tests passing with 100% success rate
- No related test failures found

**Conclusion:**

FrStatData functionality has been **fully restored** in the Universal namespace with:
- Complete backward compatibility for v3-v8
