FIX PROTOCOL

Fix BE-001: billing_api.py SyntaxError

DATABASE MIGRATION PROTOCOL

Step 1: Install PostgreSQL and Dependencies

# Install PostgreSQL dependencies
pip install asyncpg sqlalchemy alembic psycopg2-binary

# Update requirements.txt
echo "asyncpg>=0.29.0" >> requirements.txt
echo "sqlalchemy>=2.0.0" >> requirements.txt
echo "alembic>=1.13.0" >> requirements.txt
echo "psycopg2-binary>=2.9.0" >> requirements.txt

Step 2: Configure PostgreSQL Connection

# File: backend/app/database/engine.py
import os
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import create_async_engine, AsyncSession, async_sessionmaker
from sqlalchemy.orm import declarative_base

# PostgreSQL connection string from environment
DATABASE_URL = os.getenv(
    "DATABASE_URL",
    "postgresql+asyncpg://quantum:quantum@localhost:5432/quantum_c2"
)

# Create async engine with connection pooling
engine = create_async_engine(
    DATABASE_URL,
    pool_size=20,           # Maximum connections in pool
    max_overflow=10,        # Extra connections beyond pool_size
    pool_recycle=3600,      # Recycle connections after 1 hour
    pool_pre_ping=True,     # Verify connections before use
    echo=False,             # Set True for SQL debugging
)

# Session factory
AsyncSessionLocal = async_sessionmaker(
    engine,
    class_=AsyncSession,
    expire_on_commit=False,
    autocommit=False,
    autoflush=False,
)

# Base class for models
Base = declarative_base()

# Dependency for getting database session
async def get_db():
    """Get database session with proper cleanup."""
    async with AsyncSessionLocal() as session:
        try:
            yield session
            await session.commit()
        except Exception:
            await session.rollback()
            raise
        finally:
            await session.close()

Step 3: Initialize Alembic

# Initialize Alembic
alembic init -t async alembic

# Configure alembic.ini
# Update sqlalchemy.url to use DATABASE_URL from environment

# Create initial migration
alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Initial schema migration from SQLite"

# Apply migration
alembic upgrade head

Step 4: Implement Row-Level Security

# File: backend/app/database/rls_policies.py
"""Row-Level Security policies for multi-tenancy."""

from sqlalchemy import text

# RLS Policy templates

    # Tenant isolation policy

    """),
    
    # Role-based access policy
    "role_based_access": text("""
        CREATE POLICY role_based_access ON credentials
        FOR SELECT
        USING (
            security_level <= (

                FROM users 
                WHERE id = current_setting('app.current_user_id')::uuid

        )
    """),
    
    # Audit log immutability
    "audit_log_immutable": text("""

async def enable_rls(session):
    """Enable Row-Level Security on all tables."""
    tables = ["sessions", "credentials", "audit_log", "compliance_data", "users"]
    
    for table in tables:
        # Enable RLS
        await session.execute(text(f"ALTER TABLE {table} ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY"))
        
        # Apply policies
        for policy_name, policy_sql in RLS_POLICIES.items():
            try:
                await session.execute(text(f"DROP POLICY IF EXISTS {policy_name} ON {table}"))
                await session.execute(policy_sql)
            except Exception:
                pass  # Policy may not apply to this table
    
    await session.commit()

Database Migration Validation

# 1. Check PostgreSQL is running
docker compose up -d db

# 2. Run migrations
alembic upgrade head

# 3. Verify tables created
psql -h localhost -U quantum -d quantum_c2 -c "\dt"

# 4. Verify RLS policies
psql -h localhost -U quantum -d quantum_c2 -c "SELECT * FROM pg_policies WHERE tablename = 'sessions';"

# 5. Test connection pooling
python -c "from app.database.engine import engine; print(f'Pool size: {engine.pool.size()}')"

DAILY WORKFLOW

Morning Backend Check

# Run all backend tests
python -m pytest tests/unit/ -v --tb=short
