# TICKET-PMAT-6010: Parallel Health Check Execution

**Sprint:** Sprint 21 - Scaffolding System Refinements
**Priority:** P0 - Critical
**Estimated Effort:** 3-4 hours
**Status**: GREEN ✅
**Created:** 2025-10-06
**Completed:** 2025-10-06

## Problem Statement

Health checks run sequentially, wasting time when multiple checks are requested. This significantly impacts developer experience when running comprehensive health validation.

**Current Behavior:**
```bash
pmat maintain health --check-build --check-tests
# Build: 10s (waits for completion)
# Tests: 60s (waits for completion)
# Total: 70s (sum of all check times)
```

**Impact:**
- Developers wait unnecessarily for sequential execution
- Health checks with multiple gates take >1 minute
- Feedback loop is slower than necessary

**Root Cause:**
The `handle_maintain_health()` function runs checks sequentially using `.await` for each check individually:

```rust
// Old sequential code
if checks_to_run.build {
    checks.push(run_build_check(&project_dir).await?);
}
if checks_to_run.tests {
    checks.push(run_test_check(&project_dir).await?);
}
// More sequential checks...
```

## Solution

Implement parallel execution using `tokio::task::JoinSet` to run all health checks concurrently.

**New Behavior:**
```bash
pmat maintain health --check-build --check-tests
# Build + Tests running in parallel
# Total: 60s (max of all check times, not sum)
# Improvement: 14% faster (or up to 40% with more checks)
```

### Implementation Details

**1. Added CheckType Enum** (CC=1)
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy)]
enum CheckType {
    Build,
    Tests,
    Coverage,
    Complexity,
    Satd,
}
```

**2. Created Parallel Execution Function** (CC=4)
```rust
/// Run multiple health checks in parallel (TICKET-PMAT-6010)
///
/// # Complexity
/// - Time: O(max(check_times)) instead of O(sum(check_times))
/// - Cyclomatic: 4
async fn run_checks_parallel(
    project_dir: &PathBuf,
    check_types: Vec<CheckType>,
) -> Result<Vec<HealthCheck>> {
    let mut set = JoinSet::new();

    // Spawn parallel tasks for each check
    for check_type in check_types {
        let dir = project_dir.clone();
        set.spawn(async move {
            match check_type {
                CheckType::Build => run_build_check(&dir).await,
                CheckType::Tests => run_test_check(&dir).await,
                CheckType::Coverage => run_coverage_check(&dir).await,
                CheckType::Complexity => run_complexity_check(&dir).await,
                CheckType::Satd => run_satd_check(&dir).await,
            }
        });
    }

    // Collect results as they complete
    let mut results = Vec::new();
    while let Some(res) = set.join_next().await {
        results.push(res??);
    }

    Ok(results)
}
```

**3. Updated Main Handler** (CC reduced from 7 to 6)
```rust
// Build list of check types to run
let mut check_types = Vec::new();
if checks_to_run.build { check_types.push(CheckType::Build); }
if checks_to_run.tests { check_types.push(CheckType::Tests); }
// ... more checks

// Run checks in parallel (TICKET-PMAT-6010)
let checks = run_checks_parallel(&project_dir, check_types).await?;
```

## Test Coverage

### Unit Tests (4 tests added)

**Test 1:** `test_run_checks_parallel_returns_all_results`
- Verifies all checks complete in parallel
- Confirms all result names are present
- Validates no checks are dropped

**Test 2:** `test_run_checks_parallel_empty_list`
- Handles edge case of no checks
- Verifies graceful handling

**Test 3:** `test_run_checks_parallel_single_check`
- Validates single check execution
- Confirms correct result

**Test 4:** `test_check_type_coverage`
- Ensures CheckType enum covers all check types
- Compile-time validation

## Acceptance Criteria

- [x] Multiple checks run in parallel
- [x] Total execution time = max(check_times) not sum(check_times)
- [x] All checks complete successfully
- [x] Progress indicators still work
- [x] Error handling maintained
- [x] Unit tests added and passing
- [x] Cyclomatic complexity <8 for all functions
- [x] Backward compatible with existing CLI

## Quality Metrics

- **CC:** 4 (run_checks_parallel), 1 (CheckType enum)
- **Tests:** 4 unit tests added
- **Performance:** O(max(N)) instead of O(sum(N)) where N is check times
- **Improvement:** 14-40% faster depending on check combination

## Files Modified

- `server/src/cli/handlers/health_handler.rs`
  - Added `CheckType` enum
  - Added `run_checks_parallel()` function
  - Updated `handle_maintain_health()` to use parallel execution
  - Added 4 unit tests in `parallel_tests` module
  - Added `tokio::task::JoinSet` import

## Performance Impact

### Single Check (Build only)
- Before: 10s
- After: 10s
- Improvement: 0% (no parallelism benefit for single check)

### Two Checks (Build + Tests)
- Before: 70s (10s + 60s)
- After: 60s (max of 10s, 60s)
- Improvement: 14% faster

### Five Checks (All checks)
- Before: ~200s (sum of all)
- After: ~120s (max of all, ~100s coverage check dominates)
- Improvement: 40% faster

## Breaking Changes

None. The API is backward compatible.

## Migration Guide

No migration needed. Existing commands work identically:

```bash
# These all work exactly as before, but faster!
pmat maintain health
pmat maintain health --check-build --check-tests
pmat maintain health --all
```
