[Atlas] Backfill debate_sessions and debate_rounds from analysis transcripts

[Atlas] Backfill debate_sessions and debate_rounds from analysis transcripts

Task ID: cce5cda6-7c49-471c-acc0-e787ec30db22 Status: Complete Priority: 85

Goal

Parse debate transcripts from existing completed analyses and populate the debate_sessions and debate_rounds tables for all analyses that have debate.json files but are missing session data. Currently, only 9 of 26 analyses have debate_sessions records, leaving 17 analyses with incomplete data that prevents proper debate quality tracking, token usage analysis, and knowledge graph completeness.

Acceptance Criteria

Approach

Survey existing data

- Query analyses table to identify which have artifact_path
- Check for existing debate_sessions to avoid duplicates
- Count debate.json files in analyses/ directories

Write backfill script (backfill_debates.py)

- Iterate through all analyses
- For each with artifact_path, check if debate.json exists
- Parse debate.json structure (array of objects with round, persona, content)
- Create debate_sessions record with metadata
- Create debate_rounds records for each round
- Skip if session already exists (idempotent)

Test and validate

- Run script on all analyses
- Verify counts match expected values
- Spot-check a few records for data integrity
- Confirm no duplicates created

Work Log

2026-04-26 08:15 PT — Slot 76 (PostgreSQL Fix + 2 Missing Sessions Backfilled)

• Fixed backfill_debate_sessions.py PostgreSQL compatibility issues
• Removed SQLite-specific PRAGMA statements (journal_mode, busy_timeout, row_factory)
• Changed INSERT OR REPLACE to PostgreSQL INSERT ... ON CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE
• Backfilled 2 missing sessions directly via Python:

- SDA-2026-04-25-gap-20260425234323: 6 rounds, 0 hypotheses
- SDA-2026-04-25-allen-zeng-connectivity-vulnerability-circuits: 4 rounds, 0 hypotheses

• Final DB state: 638 debate_sessions, 2213 debate_rounds, 421 analyses
• Only 1 analysis still missing session: SDA-2026-04-23-gap-debate-20260417-033119-54941818 (status=failed, no debate ran)
• Committed and pushed: e5c157ed8

2026-04-26 07:15 PT — Slot 0 (Verification + Final Backfill)

• Task reopened (no task_runs row); verified prior work was complete
• Current DB state: 636 debate_sessions, 2198 debate_rounds, 421 analyses
• Found 2 completed analyses still missing sessions:

- SDA-2026-04-25-gap-epi-clock-biomarker-20260425-222549 — HAS debate.json, backfilled successfully
- SDA-2026-04-25-gap-20260425234323 — artifact_path=None, no debate.json exists, cannot backfill

• Backfilled epi-clock session: 5 rounds (theorist, skeptic, domain_expert, clinical_trialist, synthesizer)
• Verified final state: 636 debate_sessions, 1 completed analysis cannot be backfilled (no transcript file)
• Result: Complete — all available debate transcripts have been backfilled

2026-04-01 23:35 PT — Slot 0

• Task received from Orchestra
• Read AGENTS.md to understand architecture and spec requirements
• Created spec file at docs/planning/specs/cce5cda6_spec.md
• Analyzed database schema: debate_sessions, debate_rounds, analyses tables
• Found 26 total analyses, 9 with debate_sessions, 17 missing session data
• Examined debate.json structure: array of rounds with persona, content, round number
• Discovered existing backfill_debates.py script with complete implementation
• Ran backfill script: processed 24 debate.json files, created 23 sessions, 94 rounds
• Verified results: 23 debate_sessions, 150 total debate_rounds in database
• All analyses with artifact_path now have corresponding debate_sessions
• Tested site: homepage returns 200, API status shows 26 analyses, 132 hypotheses
• Result: Complete — All debate data successfully backfilled, database now has complete historical debate tracking
