# TICKET: LANGUAGE-FEATURES - Enable Kotlin, Swift, Elixir AST Support

**Priority**: MEDIUM
**Type**: Feature Enhancement
**Effort**: 1-2 days
**Sprint**: 27 (proposed)
**Created**: October 9, 2025
**Methodology**: EXTREME TDD
**Deferred From**: Sprint 26 CLEANUP-QUALITY Phase 2

---

## 🎯 Objective

Enable full language support for Kotlin, Swift, and Elixir by activating their tree-sitter AST parsers that are currently commented out in the codebase.

**Success Criteria:**
- ✅ All three language features compile successfully
- ✅ No new clippy warnings introduced
- ✅ Language modules pass basic smoke tests
- ✅ Documentation updated with language support status
- ✅ Zero regressions in existing functionality

---

## 📋 Background

During Sprint 26 CLEANUP-QUALITY, we encountered 18+ warnings about non-existent features:
- `kotlin-ast` - Referenced in 14 locations
- `swift-ast` - Referenced in 2 locations
- `elixir-ast` - Referenced in 2 locations

**Decision Made**: Deferred to separate ticket rather than removing infrastructure

**Current State:**
- ✅ Code infrastructure exists (ast_kotlin.rs, language modules)
- ⚠️ Dependencies commented out in Cargo.toml (TEMPORARILY DISABLED)
- ⚠️ Feature flags disabled
- ⚠️ Module compilation disabled with `#[cfg(feature = "...")]`

---

## 📝 Implementation Plan

### Phase 1: Kotlin Language Support (Day 1 - Morning)

**EXTREME TDD: RED Phase**
1. Uncomment `tree-sitter-kotlin` dependency in `Cargo.toml`
2. Enable `kotlin-ast` feature definition
3. Run `cargo check --features kotlin-ast` - expect compilation success
4. Run `cargo clippy --features kotlin-ast` - expect warnings

**Expected Issues:**
- Dependency version conflicts
- API changes in tree-sitter-kotlin
- Missing method implementations
- Test compilation failures

**EXTREME TDD: GREEN Phase**
1. Fix compilation errors one at a time
2. Update API calls if tree-sitter version changed
3. Fix deprecated method usage
4. Run basic smoke test

**EXTREME TDD: REFACTOR Phase**
1. Verify all 14 references compile
2. Run kotlin test files
3. Document any limitations found
4. Commit: "feat: Enable kotlin-ast language support"

**Estimated Time:** 2-3 hours

---

### Phase 2: Swift Language Support (Day 1 - Afternoon)

**EXTREME TDD: RED Phase**
1. Uncomment `tree-sitter-swift` dependency
2. Enable `swift-ast` feature definition
3. Run `cargo check --features swift-ast`
4. Identify any missing infrastructure

**Expected Issues:**
- Less infrastructure than Kotlin (only 2 references)
- May need to implement Swift AST visitor
- May need language detection for Swift files

**EXTREME TDD: GREEN Phase**
1. If Swift visitor missing, create minimal implementation
2. Or remove Swift references if not ready
3. Fix compilation errors
4. Basic smoke test

**EXTREME TDD: REFACTOR Phase**
1. Document Swift support status
2. Update feature matrix in README
3. Commit: "feat: Enable swift-ast language support" OR "docs: Document Swift support as planned"

**Estimated Time:** 1-2 hours

---

### Phase 3: Elixir Language Support (Day 1 - Late Afternoon)

**EXTREME TDD: RED Phase**
1. Uncomment `tree-sitter-elixir` dependency
2. Enable `elixir-ast` feature definition
3. Run `cargo check --features elixir-ast`
4. Assess infrastructure completeness

**Expected Issues:**
- Similar to Swift (only 2 references)
- May need Elixir AST visitor implementation
- Functional language - different AST patterns

**EXTREME TDD: GREEN Phase**
1. Implement minimal Elixir visitor if needed
2. Or remove Elixir references if not ready
3. Fix compilation
4. Smoke test

**EXTREME TDD: REFACTOR Phase**
1. Document Elixir support status
2. Commit changes
3. Update language support documentation

**Estimated Time:** 1-2 hours

---

### Phase 4: Integration & Testing (Day 2 - Morning)

**Multi-Language Compilation**
1. Test with `all-languages` feature
2. Test with `most-languages` feature
3. Verify no feature conflicts
4. Run full test suite

**Documentation**
1. Update `ROADMAP.md` language support section
2. Update README feature matrix
3. Document any known limitations
4. Add examples for new languages

**Estimated Time:** 2-3 hours

---

### Phase 5: Cleanup & Polish (Day 2 - Afternoon)

**Quality Verification**
1. Run `cargo clippy --all-features`
2. Verify no new warnings (maintain 9 baseline)
3. Check for unused dependencies
4. Validate feature flag logic

**Testing**
1. Run language-specific test files
2. Test context generation for each language
3. Verify AST extraction works
4. Document test results

**Final Review**
1. Code review of all changes
2. Verify backward compatibility
3. Check for breaking changes
4. Performance smoke test

**Estimated Time:** 2-3 hours

## 🎯 Expected Outcomes

### Best Case Scenario
- ✅ All 3 languages compile and work
- ✅ All existing tests pass
- ✅ New language tests added and passing
- ✅ Zero new clippy warnings
- 🎉 **Result:** 3 new languages supported

### Likely Scenario
- ✅ Kotlin compiles and works (most infrastructure)
- ⚠️ Swift partially works (needs more implementation)
- ⚠️ Elixir partially works (needs visitor work)
- ✅ Existing features unaffected
- 📝 **Result:** 1-2 languages fully supported, 1-2 documented as in-progress

### Worst Case Scenario
- ❌ Major breaking changes in tree-sitter versions
- ❌ Significant API differences requiring rewrites
- ⚠️ Dependencies conflict with existing features
- 🚧 **Result:** Defer to Sprint 28, create sub-tickets for each language

---

## 🔧 Risk Assessment

### High Risk: Breaking Changes
**Risk:** tree-sitter-kotlin v0.3 may have changed API
**Mitigation:**
- Test compilation first before enabling features
- Check tree-sitter-kotlin changelog
- Be prepared to update to newer version

### Medium Risk: Missing Infrastructure
**Risk:** Swift/Elixir may need significant implementation
**Mitigation:**
- Start with Kotlin (most complete)
- Document what's missing for Swift/Elixir
- Create follow-up tickets if needed

### Low Risk: Feature Conflicts
**Risk:** New features may conflict with existing
**Mitigation:**
- Test with various feature combinations
- Verify `all-languages` still works
- Check CI compatibility

### Low Risk: Performance Impact
**Risk:** More languages = slower compilation
**Mitigation:**
- Make features optional (already are)
- Monitor compilation times
- Document recommended feature sets

---

## 💡 Decision Points

### Decision 1: All or Nothing?
**Question:** Enable all 3 languages at once or one at a time?
**Recommendation:** One at a time (Kotlin → Swift → Elixir)
**Rationale:** Easier to isolate issues, incremental progress

### Decision 2: What if Swift/Elixir Need Major Work?
**Question:** Spend time implementing or defer?
**Recommendation:** Document as TODO and defer to Sprint 28
**Rationale:** Don't let nice-to-have block must-have (Kotlin)

### Decision 3: Version Updates?
**Question:** Use commented versions or update to latest?
**Recommendation:** Try commented versions first, update if needed
**Rationale:** Minimize scope, update only if broken

---

## ⚠️ Exit Criteria

**Definition of Done:**
- ✅ At least Kotlin compiles and works
- ✅ Swift and Elixir documented (working or TODO)
- ✅ No regressions in existing features
- ✅ Documentation complete
- ✅ Tests passing (or updated to ignore)
- ✅ Code reviewed and merged

**Abort Conditions:**
- ❌ Kotlin fails to compile after 4 hours
- ❌ Breaking changes require major rewrites
- ❌ Dependencies conflict irreconcilably
- 🚫 **Action:** Create detailed sub-tickets and defer

## ✅ Sprint 27 Completion Summary

**Date Completed:** October 9, 2025
**Duration:** 5 hours (same day)
**Outcome:** All 3 languages enabled successfully

### Actual Results vs Expected

| Language | Expected | Actual | Notes |
|----------|----------|--------|-------|
| Kotlin | Full support | ✅ Full support | AST visitor working perfectly |
| Swift | Partial | ✅ Feature enabled | Compiles, needs visitor (future) |
| Elixir | Partial | ✅ Feature enabled | Compiles, needs visitor (future) |

### Key Decisions Made

1. **Kotlin:** Used `tree-sitter-kotlin-ng` v1.1.0 (maintained fork)
   - Original `tree-sitter-kotlin` v0.3 was incompatible
   - API change: `language()` function → `LANGUAGE` constant

2. **Swift:** v0.7.1 worked without issues
   - Previously thought incompatible - actually works fine!

3. **Elixir:** v0.3.4 worked without issues
   - Official Elixir-lang maintained parser

### Success Metrics Achieved

**Must-Have (MVP):**
- [x] kotlin-ast compiles successfully
- [x] No new clippy warnings introduced
- [x] Existing tests still pass
- [x] Documentation updated

**Should-Have:**
- [x] swift-ast compiles (documented as feature-enabled)
- [x] elixir-ast compiles (documented as feature-enabled)
- [x] Basic smoke tests for each language
- [x] Language support matrix updated

**Nice-to-Have:**
- [x] All 3 languages feature flags enabled
- [x] All feature combinations tested
- [x] Zero regressions confirmed

### Value Delivered

1. **Immediate:** Kotlin AST analysis ready to use
2. **Near-term:** Swift/Elixir parsers ready for visitor implementation
3. **Quality:** Zero new warnings, zero regressions
4. **Security:** Fixed 2 security vulnerabilities (bonus)

### Lessons Learned

1. EXTREME TDD methodology highly effective for feature enablement
2. Testing each language individually before integration saved time
3. Cargo feature system works well for optional language support
4. Documentation-first approach helps set clear success criteria

### Future Work

For Sprint 28 or later:
- [ ] Implement Swift AST visitor (ast_swift.rs)
- [ ] Implement Elixir AST visitor (ast_elixir.rs)
- [ ] Add tests for Swift language analysis
- [ ] Add tests for Elixir language analysis
- [ ] Create example files for Swift and Elixir
