## Executive Summary

Successfully implemented Phase 2 of Sprint 66: A comprehensive quality gate system for zero-regression enforcement. The implementation provides trait-based extensible quality gates with three concrete implementations (RegressionGate, MinimumGradeGate, NewFileGate) and CLI commands for CI/CD integration.

**Achievement**: ~903 lines of production code, 2 CLI commands, 12 RED tests, following Extreme TDD methodology.

---

## Implementation Details

### 1. Core Module: quality_gate.rs (620 lines)

**Location**: `server/src/tdg/quality_gate.rs`

#### QualityGate Trait
```rust
pub trait QualityGate {
    fn name(&self) -> &str;
    fn check(&self, baseline: &TdgBaseline, current: &TdgBaseline) -> Result<GateResult>;
}
```

Provides extensible framework for quality enforcement with pluggable gate implementations.

#### Data Structures

**GateResult**:
```rust
pub struct GateResult {
    pub passed: bool,
    pub gate_name: String,
    pub violations: Vec<Violation>,
    pub message: String,
}
```

**Violation**:
```rust
pub struct Violation {
    pub path: PathBuf,
    pub violation_type: ViolationType,
    pub severity: Severity,
    pub message: String,
    pub old_score: Option<f32>,
    pub new_score: f32,
    pub old_grade: Option<Grade>,
    pub new_grade: Grade,
}
```

**GateConfig**:
```rust
pub struct GateConfig {
    pub max_score_drop: f32,
    pub allow_grade_drop: bool,
    pub min_grade_by_language: HashMap<String, Grade>,
}
```

#### Gate Implementations

**1. RegressionGate**
- Detects quality score/grade drops between baselines
- Configurable score drop threshold
- Optional grade stability enforcement
- Content-hash optimization (skip unchanged files)

**2. MinimumGradeGate**
- Enforces language-specific minimum quality thresholds
- Default: B+ for all languages
- Configurable per-language requirements
- Fails if any file below minimum

**3. NewFileGate**
- Validates quality of newly added files
- Requires baseline for comparison
- Ensures new code meets standards
- Optional minimum grade enforcement

### 2. CLI Integration (180 lines)

**Location**: `server/src/cli/handlers/tdg_handlers.rs`

#### New Commands

**check-regression**:
```bash
pmat tdg check-regression \
    --baseline .pmat/baseline.json \
    --path . \
    --format table \
    --fail-on-regression \
    --max-score-drop 5.0 \
    --allow-grade-drop
```

**check-quality**:
```bash
pmat tdg check-quality \
    --path . \
    --min-grade B+ \
    --format json \
    --fail-on-violation \
    --new-files-only \
    --baseline .pmat/baseline.json
```

#### Handlers Implemented

**handle_check_regression()**:
1. Load baseline from file
2. Create current baseline (temp file)
3. Configure RegressionGate
4. Run gate check
5. Display results (table/JSON/YAML)
6. Exit with error if `--fail-on-regression` and violations found

**handle_check_quality()**:
1. Parse minimum grade
2. Create current baseline
3. Configure MinimumGradeGate or NewFileGate
4. Run gate check
5. Display results
6. Exit with error if `--fail-on-violation` and violations found

**display_gate_result_table()**:
- Pretty-printed table with violations
- Shows file path, type, severity, old/new scores, old/new grades
- Color-coded severity (Error, Warning, Info)

**parse_grade()**:
- Parses string to Grade enum (A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F)
- Validation with helpful error messages

### 3. CLI Commands (103 lines)

**Location**: `server/src/cli/commands.rs`

Added two new variants to `TdgCommand` enum:

**CheckRegression**:
- `--baseline`: Path to baseline file (required)
- `--path`: Path to analyze (default: ".")
- `--format`: Output format (table, json, yaml)
- `--fail-on-regression`: Exit code 1 on regression (CI/CD)
- `--max-score-drop`: Maximum allowed score drop
- `--allow-grade-drop`: Allow grade drops without failing

**CheckQuality**:
- `--path`: Path to analyze (default: ".")
- `--min-grade`: Minimum required grade (e.g., "B+")
- `--format`: Output format (table, json, yaml)
- `--fail-on-violation`: Exit code 1 on violations (CI/CD)
- `--new-files-only`: Only validate new files
- `--baseline`: Baseline for new file detection

### 4. Module Exports

**Location**: `server/src/tdg/mod.rs`

```rust
pub mod quality_gate;

pub use quality_gate::{
    GateConfig, GateResult, MinimumGradeGate, NewFileGate, QualityGate, RegressionGate, Severity,
    Violation, ViolationType,
};
```

### 5. Exhaustive Match Pattern

**Location**: `server/src/cli/handlers/tdg_diagnostic_handler.rs`

Added new commands to match pattern to ensure exhaustiveness:
```rust
TdgCommand::CheckRegression { .. }
| TdgCommand::CheckQuality { .. } => Ok(()),
```

---

## Test Coverage

### RED Tests Implemented (12 tests)

All tests marked with `#[ignore]` following Extreme TDD:

**RegressionGate Tests (4 tests)**:
1. `test_regression_gate_no_regressions` - All files improved/unchanged
2. `test_regression_gate_with_regressions` - Some files regressed
3. `test_regression_gate_allow_grade_drop` - Grade drops allowed
4. `test_regression_gate_max_score_drop` - Configurable score thresholds

**MinimumGradeGate Tests (4 tests)**:
1. `test_minimum_grade_gate_all_pass` - All files meet minimum
2. `test_minimum_grade_gate_some_fail` - Some files below minimum
3. `test_minimum_grade_gate_language_specific` - Per-language thresholds
4. `test_minimum_grade_gate_default_config` - Default B+ threshold

**NewFileGate Tests (4 tests)**:
1. `test_new_file_gate_all_pass` - All new files meet standards
2. `test_new_file_gate_some_fail` - Some new files below threshold
3. `test_new_file_gate_no_new_files` - No new files added
4. `test_new_file_gate_with_min_grade` - Custom minimum grade

**Test Helper**:
- `create_test_baseline()` - Creates mock TdgBaseline with specified scores/grades

## Technical Highlights

### 1. Blake3 Content Hashing
Optimization to skip unchanged files during regression checks:
```rust
// Only check files that changed (content-hash differs)
for regressed in &comparison.regressed {
    if regressed.baseline_hash != regressed.current_hash {
        // File changed, check for regression
    }
}
```

### 2. Type-Safe Grade Parsing
Robust grade parsing with validation:
```rust
fn parse_grade(s: &str) -> Result<Grade> {
    match s.to_uppercase().as_str() {
        "A+" => Ok(Grade::APLus),
        "A" => Ok(Grade::A),
        // ... all grades
        _ => Err(anyhow!("Invalid grade: {s}. Valid: A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F")),
    }
}
```

### 3. CI/CD Integration
Exit code handling for automation:
```rust
if fail_on_regression && !result.passed {
    return Err(anyhow::anyhow!("Quality regression detected"));
}
```

### 4. Multiple Output Formats
Supports human and machine consumption:
- **Table**: Pretty-printed with colors (human)
- **JSON**: Structured data (CI/CD parsing)
- **YAML**: Alternative structured format

## Usage Examples

### Example 1: Detect Regressions
```bash
# Check for quality regressions against baseline
pmat tdg check-regression \
    --baseline .pmat/baseline-v1.0.0.json \
    --path . \
    --fail-on-regression

# Output:
# ✅ No quality regressions detected
# OR
# ❌ Quality regression detected in 3 files:
#   src/main.rs: 85.0 (A) → 78.0 (B+)
#   src/utils.rs: 72.0 (B-) → 65.0 (C+)
```

### Example 2: Enforce Minimum Quality
```bash
# Ensure all files meet B+ minimum
pmat tdg check-quality \
    --min-grade B+ \
    --path src/ \
    --fail-on-violation

# Output:
# ✅ All files meet minimum grade requirement
# OR
# ❌ 2 files below minimum grade B+:
#   src/legacy.rs: C+ (70.0)
#   src/utils.rs: C (65.0)
```

### Example 3: Validate New Files Only
```bash
# Check only newly added files
pmat tdg check-quality \
    --new-files-only \
    --baseline .pmat/baseline-main.json \
    --min-grade A- \
    --fail-on-violation

# Output:
# ✅ All 5 new files meet quality standards
# OR
# ❌ 1 new file below minimum A-:
#   src/feature.rs: B+ (82.0)
```

### Example 4: CI/CD Integration (GitHub Actions)
```yaml
- name: Check Quality Gates
  run: |
    # Create baseline from main branch
    git checkout main
    pmat tdg baseline create --output .pmat/baseline-main.json

    # Check current branch for regressions
    git checkout ${{ github.head_ref }}
    pmat tdg check-regression \
      --baseline .pmat/baseline-main.json \
      --fail-on-regression \
      --max-score-drop 5.0

    # Ensure new files meet standards
    pmat tdg check-quality \
      --new-files-only \
      --baseline .pmat/baseline-main.json \
      --min-grade B+ \
      --fail-on-violation
```

## Challenges Overcome

### 1. TdgScore Field Names
**Issue**: Used `.overall` instead of `.total`
**Solution**: Read TdgScore definition, updated all references to use `.total`

### 2. Grade Enum Variants
**Issue**: Used `APlus` instead of `APLus`, tried to use non-existent `DPlus`
**Solution**: Grepped for Grade definition, corrected all variants

### 3. Function Signature Type Mismatches
**Issue**: Attempted to dereference owned bool values from CLI enum
**Solution**: Removed `*` dereference operators, passed owned values directly

### 4. Test Data Construction
**Issue**: Test helper used wrong TdgScore field names
**Solution**: Updated to use all correct fields with proper initialization
