Set up Pattern.Reconcile module with placeholder types and functions for four reconciliation policies (LastWriteWins, FirstWriteWins, Merge, Strict). Added comprehensive test infrastructure with unit test and property test skeletons. Updated Pattern library to re-export reconciliation operations. Includes complete feature specification with 5 user stories, 23 functional requirements, implementation plan, research document, API contracts, and quickstart guide. Task breakdown of 92 tasks across 8 phases. Phase 1 complete (T001-T006): module structure ready for implementation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Define core reconciliation types with full documentation: - ReconciliationPolicy with four strategies (LastWriteWins, FirstWriteWins, Merge, Strict) - MergeStrategy composed of LabelMerge, PropertyMerge, ElementMerge sub-strategies - Conflict, ReconcileError, ReconcileReport for error handling and reporting - Path type alias for location tracking - defaultMergeStrategy implementation (UnionLabels, ShallowMerge, UnionElements) Add QuickCheck Arbitrary instances for property-based testing: - All policy and strategy types - Symbol, Subject, and Pattern Subject generators - Value and RangeValue generators for test data Add subject dependency to pattern library build-depends. Phase 2 complete (T007-T014): types ready for implementation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Implement basic reconciliation operations: - collectByIdentity: traverse pattern and group occurrences by identity - reconcile: main entry point supporting LastWriteWins, FirstWriteWins, Merge, Strict - rebuildPattern: reconstruct pattern with canonical subjects, deduplicating by identity - findConflicts: detect duplicate identities with different content - mergeSubjects: merge two subjects according to strategy (labels, properties) - needsReconciliation: check if pattern has duplicates - reconcileWithReport: reconcile with statistics - isRefinementOf, isReference: utility functions Add property tests for idempotence, identity uniqueness, and determinism. Add unit tests for LastWriteWins, FirstWriteWins, empty patterns, and no duplicates. All unit tests passing. Property tests for LastWriteWins/FirstWriteWins passing. Some edge cases in property tests need investigation (nested duplicates). Note: Full Merge policy with element deduplication is Phase 4 (User Story 2). Phase 3 (T015-T028) largely complete. Core reconciliation working. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
**Issue**: Property tests were failing because nested duplicate identities
weren't being properly deduplicated. When reconciling patterns with the
same ID appearing at multiple nesting levels, some duplicates would slip
through.
**Root Cause**: The rebuildPattern function tracked visited IDs within each
subtree, but didn't propagate the visited set back up to parent levels.
This meant sibling patterns didn't know about IDs emitted by their siblings'
descendants.
Example failure case:
- alice
- bob
- b (with properties)
- node3
- b (empty) <-- duplicate!
- charlie
- b (different) <-- should be skipped but wasn't!
**Fix**: Changed rebuildPattern to return (Pattern Subject, Set Symbol)
instead of just Pattern Subject. The Set contains all IDs emitted in the
entire subtree. When processing siblings, each sibling now receives the
accumulated visited set including all IDs from previous siblings and their
descendants.
**Testing**:
- All property tests now passing (100 tests each for idempotence,
identity uniqueness, determinism)
- Added regression test for deeply nested duplicates
- 637 examples, 0 failures, 6 pending
Phase 3 complete: core reconciliation working correctly for all policies.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
UnionElements element deduplication is not doing what the comment says: using foldr with Map.insertWith (\_ old -> old) keeps the last occurrence for a given identity (because the rightmost element is inserted first), not the first encountered. Also, returning Map.elems will reorder elements by key, which can violate the spec requirement to preserve first-occurrence ordering. Consider implementing order-preserving deduplication (e.g., traverse left-to-right accumulating a Set of seen identities and a list, or keep an insertion-order list alongside the map).

There was a problem hiding this comment.
DeepMerge is currently implemented as a last-write-wins shallow merge (Map.unionWith (\_ v2 -> v2)), but the feature spec and docs describe DeepMerge as a recursive merge of nested maps. Either implement true deep merge for Subject.Value.Value (e.g., recursively merge VMap), or adjust the documented behavior/strategy name to match what’s actually implemented.

| ```haskell | ||
| import Pattern.Core (Pattern(..), pattern, point) | ||
| import Pattern.Reconcile (reconcile, ReconciliationPolicy(..)) | ||
| import Subject.Core (Subject(..), Symbol(..)) | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Quick Start Examples | ||
|
|
||
| ### Example 1: LastWriteWins Policy (Most Common) | ||
|
|
||
| Use this when you want the latest occurrence of each identity to win. | ||
|
|
||
| ```haskell | ||
| import qualified Data.Set as Set | ||
| import qualified Data.Map as Map | ||
| import Subject.Value (VInteger(..)) | ||
|
|
||
| -- Create subjects with same identity but different properties | ||
| let alice1 = Subject (Symbol "alice") (Set.singleton "Person") | ||
| (Map.singleton "age" (VInteger 30)) | ||
| alice2 = Subject (Symbol "alice") (Set.singleton "Person") | ||
| (Map.singleton "age" (VInteger 31)) -- updated age | ||
| root = Subject (Symbol "root") Set.empty Map.empty | ||
|
|
||
| -- Pattern with duplicate identity | ||
| let pattern = pattern root [point alice1, point alice2] | ||
|
|
||
| -- Reconcile: keep the last occurrence | ||
| case reconcile LastWriteWins pattern of | ||
| Right normalized -> | ||
| -- Success! normalized has only alice2 (age 31) | ||
| print normalized | ||
| Left err -> | ||
| -- Error (shouldn't happen with LastWriteWins) | ||
| print err | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| **Result**: Pattern with single alice subject having age 31. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Example 2: Merge Policy with Default Strategy | ||
|
|
||
| Use this when you want to combine information from all occurrences. | ||
|
|
||
| ```haskell | ||
| import Pattern.Reconcile (MergeStrategy(..), defaultMergeStrategy, Merge) | ||
|
|
||
| -- Create subjects with complementary information | ||
| let alice1 = Subject (Symbol "alice") (Set.singleton "Person") | ||
| (Map.singleton "name" (VString "Alice")) | ||
| alice2 = Subject (Symbol "alice") (Set.singleton "Employee") | ||
| (Map.singleton "department" (VString "Engineering")) | ||
| root = Subject (Symbol "root") Set.empty Map.empty | ||
|
|
||
| -- Pattern with duplicate identity having different info | ||
| let pattern = pattern root [point alice1, point alice2] | ||
|
|
||
| -- Reconcile: merge all information | ||
| case reconcile (Merge defaultMergeStrategy) pattern of | ||
| Right normalized -> do | ||
| -- Success! normalized has alice with: |

This quickstart uses API names that don’t exist in the implementation (MergeStrategy, defaultMergeStrategy, and Merge as a single-argument constructor). The current Pattern.Reconcile exports ElementMergeStrategy, SubjectMergeStrategy, and defaultSubjectMergeStrategy, and Merge takes two arguments. Please update the examples/imports to match the implemented API so users can copy/paste the snippets successfully.

The public API contract here (e.g., ReconciliationPolicy without a type parameter, MergeStrategy, defaultMergeStrategy, and mergeSubjects) does not match the implemented Pattern.Reconcile module (which introduces HasIdentity/Mergeable/Refinable, ReconciliationPolicy s, SubjectMergeStrategy, and defaultSubjectMergeStrategy). Please align the contract with the actual exported API, or adjust the implementation to match the documented contract.
