Sprint 1: Foundation Modules & Modernization Implementation

Sprint Overview

Duration: 2 weeks
Goal: Achieve 100% test coverage for core utility modules while implementing key modernization objectives
Focus Areas: Utility Modules, Configuration, Service Registry, Neo4j Integration

Strategic Approach

This sprint implements our module-focused testing strategy while advancing modernization goals:

1. Incremental Progress: Complete 100% test coverage for one module before moving to the next
2. Build Momentum: Begin with smaller, simpler modules first
3. Quality First: Ensure all code follows SOLID principles and includes comprehensive type annotations
4. Modernization Implementation: Apply consistent modernization patterns from our plan

Modernization Goals for Sprint 1

1. Type Annotation Modernization
   • Convert all annotations to modern syntax (dict, list, X | None)
   • Add Protocol interfaces for service contracts
   • Use Final for constants
   • Add TypedDict for complex dictionaries
2. Dependency Injection & Service Registry
   • Consolidate service registry implementations
   • Implement consistent dependency injection pattern
   • Use Protocol interfaces for dependency contracts
3. Error Handling & Validation
   • Create standardized error hierarchies
   • Implement consistent error propagation patterns
   • Add Pydantic validation for configuration models
4. Documentation & Code Quality
   • Standardize docstring format across all modules
   • Add module-level docstrings explaining purpose
   • Apply consistent naming conventions
