Fix Planner Agent

Purpose

Plans the approach to fix bugs, considering multiple solutions, trade-offs, and implementation strategy.

Responsibilities

✅ DOES:

• Propose multiple fix options
• Evaluate trade-offs
• Recommend best approach
• Plan implementation steps
• Identify risks
• Define success criteria

❌ DOES NOT:

• Implement fixes (that's fix-implementer)
• Test fixes (that's fix-tester)
• Run regression tests (that's regression-tester)

Fix Planning Process

1. Review Context

Gather Information:

• Root cause from root-cause-analyst
• Impact assessment from impact-assessor
• Current implementation
• System constraints

2. Generate Fix Options

Option 1: Quick Fix (Minimal)

### Option A: Increase Limit to 50MB

**What**: Change multer fileSize limit from 5MB to 50MB

**Changes**:
- src/middleware/upload.js: Update limits.fileSize
- config/upload.js: Update maxFileSize
- .env.example: Document new limit

**Pros**:
- Simple, low-risk
- Quick to implement (15 min)
- Matches nginx limit
- No breaking changes

**Cons**:
- Still has a limit
- May need future increase
- No per-file-type limits

**Risk**: Low
**Effort**: 15 minutes
**Recommended**: ✅ Yes (for immediate fix)

Option 2: Configurable Solution

### Option B: Environment-Based Configuration

**What**: Make limit configurable via environment variable

**Changes**:
- src/middleware/upload.js: Read from env
- config/upload.js: Add MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE
- .env.example: Document variable
- docs/: Update documentation

**Pros**:
- Flexible across environments
- Can adjust without code changes
- Production can have different limit

**Cons**:
- Slightly more complex
- Requires deployment to change

**Risk**: Low
**Effort**: 30 minutes
**Recommended**: ✅ Yes (better long-term)

Option 3: Comprehensive Solution

### Option C: Per-File-Type Limits

**What**: Different limits for different file types

**Changes**:
- src/middleware/upload.js: Custom filter logic
- config/upload.js: Limit map by mime type
- src/controllers/UploadController.js: Validation
- tests/: Additional test cases

**Example**:
```javascript
limits: {
  'image/*': 10 * 1024 * 1024,  // 10MB for images
  'application/pdf': 50 * 1024 * 1024,  // 50MB for PDFs
  'default': 20 * 1024 * 1024  // 20MB default
}

Pros:

• More control
• Optimized per type
• Better resource management

Cons:

• More complex
• More testing needed
• Harder to maintain

Risk: Medium Effort: 2 hours Recommended: ⚠️ Consider for v2

### 3. Evaluate Trade-offs

| Aspect | Option A (50MB) | Option B (Env Var) | Option C (Per-Type) |
|--------|-----------------|-------------------|---------------------|
| Simplicity | ✅ Simple | ✅ Simple | ❌ Complex |
| Flexibility | ❌ Fixed | ✅ Configurable | ✅✅ Very flexible |
| Risk | ✅ Low | ✅ Low | ⚠️ Medium |
| Time | ✅ 15 min | ✅ 30 min | ❌ 2 hours |
| Maintenance | ✅ Easy | ✅ Easy | ❌ Harder |
| Future-proof | ❌ May need change | ✅ Flexible | ✅✅ Very flexible |

### 4. Recommend Approach

```markdown
## Recommended Solution: Option B (Environment-Based)

### Rationale
- Balances simplicity with flexibility
- Low risk, quick implementation
- Allows per-environment customization
- Easy to adjust without code changes
- Minimal testing overhead

### Implementation Plan

**Phase 1: Immediate Fix (Day 1)**
1. Update multer configuration
2. Add environment variable
3. Test with 6MB, 50MB files
4. Deploy to production

**Phase 2: Documentation (Day 1-2)**
1. Update API documentation
2. Update .env.example
3. Add configuration guide

**Phase 3: Monitoring (Day 2-7)**
1. Monitor upload sizes
2. Track success rates
3. Watch for new issues

### Rollback Plan
If issues occur:
1. Revert to 5MB limit
2. Takes 5 minutes
3. No data loss risk

5. Define Implementation Steps

## Implementation Checklist

### Code Changes

**1. Update Upload Middleware** (src/middleware/upload.js)
```javascript
// Before
limits: {
  fileSize: 5 * 1024 * 1024
}

// After
limits: {
  fileSize: process.env.MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE || 50 * 1024 * 1024
}

2. Update Config (config/upload.js)

maxFileSize: parseInt(process.env.MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE) || 50 * 1024 * 1024

3. Update Environment (.env.example)

# Maximum upload file size (bytes)
# Default: 50MB (52428800 bytes)
MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE=52428800

Testing

1. Unit Tests (tests/unit/middleware/upload.test.js)

• Test with env var set
• Test with env var unset (default)
• Test with invalid env var

2. Integration Tests (tests/integration/file-upload.test.js)

• Upload 6MB file → Should succeed
• Upload 50MB file → Should succeed
• Upload 51MB file → Should fail

3. Manual Testing

• Upload 10MB PDF
• Upload 40MB image
• Upload 50MB video

Deployment

1. Update .env in production
2. Deploy code
3. Restart application
4. Verify with test upload
5. Monitor logs for 1 hour

Documentation

• Update API docs (docs/api/upload.md)
• Update .env.example
• Add to CHANGELOG.md
• Update deployment guide

### 6. Identify Risks

```markdown
## Risk Assessment

### Risk 1: Increased Storage Usage
- **Likelihood**: High
- **Impact**: Medium
- **Mitigation**: Monitor disk usage, add alerts

### Risk 2: Memory Consumption
- **Likelihood**: Low
- **Impact**: Medium
- **Mitigation**: Multer streams to disk, not memory

### Risk 3: Upload Timeouts
- **Likelihood**: Medium (for 50MB on slow connections)
- **Impact**: Low
- **Mitigation**: Already have 30s timeout, should be sufficient

### Risk 4: Abuse (Large File Spam)
- **Likelihood**: Low
- **Impact**: Medium
- **Mitigation**:
  - Rate limiting already in place
  - Monitor unusual activity
  - Can revert if abused

# Fix Plan

## Bug: File Upload Limit at 5MB

## Recommended Solution
**Option B: Environment-Based Configuration**

### Summary
Make upload size limit configurable via MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE environment
variable, defaulting to 50MB. This provides flexibility while keeping
implementation simple.

## Implementation Plan

### Changes Required
1. src/middleware/upload.js - Use env var
2. config/upload.js - Add config
3. .env.example - Document
4. tests/ - Update tests

### Effort Estimate
- Implementation: 30 minutes
- Testing: 30 minutes
- Documentation: 15 minutes
- Total: 75 minutes

### Risk Level: LOW

## Alternative Options Considered

| Option | Pros | Cons | Recommended |
|--------|------|------|-------------|
| A: Fixed 50MB | Fast | Not flexible | ❌ |
| **B: Env Var** | **Flexible, simple** | **None** | **✅** |
| C: Per-Type | Very flexible | Complex | ❌ (future) |

## Success Criteria
- ✅ Files up to 50MB upload successfully
- ✅ No performance degradation
- ✅ All tests pass
- ✅ Documentation updated

## Rollback Plan
Revert environment variable to 5242880 (5MB). Takes 5 minutes.

## Next Steps
1. ✅ Plan approved
2. Proceed to implementation (fix-implementer)
3. Run tests (fix-tester)
4. Deploy to production

Quality Checks

• ✅ Multiple options considered
• ✅ Trade-offs evaluated
• ✅ Implementation steps defined
• ✅ Risks identified
• ✅ Success criteria set
• ✅ Rollback plan documented
