# BARAAA-96 — Verification Report: Broadcast Consultation API

**Issue:** BARAAA-96  
**Title:** [Social][BARAAA-95] Backend — Broadcast Consultation API  
**Status:** ✅ Implementation Complete (Pending Live Test)  
**Date:** 2026-05-03

---

## Deliverables

### 1. ✅ Database Migration

**Location:** `drizzle/0004_add_broadcast_posts.sql`

**Fields Added to `social_posts`:**
- `post_type` (text, NOT NULL, default 'post', constraint check for 'post' or 'broadcast')
- `sticky_until` (timestamptz, nullable, determines sticky end time)

**Index Added:**
- `social_posts_sticky_feed_idx`: Composite index on `(sticky_until DESC NULLS LAST, created_at DESC, id DESC)` filtered by `parent_post_id IS NULL` for efficient sticky-first feed queries

**Audit Events Updated:**
- Added `'social-broadcast-created'` to `audit_events.type` constraint

**Migration SQL:**
```sql
-- Add post_type column with constraint
ALTER TABLE social_posts ADD COLUMN post_type text NOT NULL DEFAULT 'post'
  CONSTRAINT social_posts_type_check CHECK (post_type IN ('post', 'broadcast'));

-- Add sticky_until timestamp
ALTER TABLE social_posts ADD COLUMN sticky_until timestamptz;

-- Index for sticky-first ordering
CREATE INDEX social_posts_sticky_feed_idx ON social_posts(
  sticky_until DESC NULLS LAST,
  created_at DESC,
  id DESC
) WHERE parent_post_id IS NULL;

-- Update audit_events constraint
ALTER TABLE audit_events DROP CONSTRAINT audit_events_type_check;
ALTER TABLE audit_events ADD CONSTRAINT audit_events_type_check CHECK (
  type IN (..., 'social-broadcast-created')
);
```

**Schema Update:** `src/db/schema.ts:224-247,286-303`

---

### 2. ✅ Schema Definition Update

**Location:** `src/db/schema.ts`

**Changes:**

**socialPosts table (lines 224-226):**
```typescript
postType: text('post_type').notNull().default('post'),
stickyUntil: timestamp('sticky_until', { withTimezone: true, mode: 'date' }),
```

**socialPosts constraints (lines 227-247):**
```typescript
typeCheck: check('social_posts_type_check', sql`${table.postType} IN ('post', 'broadcast')`),
stickyFeedIdx: index('social_posts_sticky_feed_idx')
  .on(sql`${table.stickyUntil} DESC NULLS LAST`, sql`${table.createdAt} DESC`, sql`${table.id} DESC`)
  .where(sql`${table.parentPostId} IS NULL`),
```

**auditEvents type check (line 303):**
- Added `'social-broadcast-created'` to the type constraint

---

### 3. ✅ Audit Type Definition Update

**Location:** `src/lib/audit.ts:18`

**Change:**
```typescript
export type AuditEventType =
  | ...
  | 'social-broadcast-created';  // Added
```

---

### 4. ✅ Broadcast Endpoint Implementation

**Location:** `src/routes/social.ts:21-25,95-170`

**Endpoint:** `POST /api/v1/social/broadcast`

**Request Schema:**
```typescript
const CreateBroadcastSchema = z.object({
  channelId: z.string().uuid(),
  body: z.string().min(1).max(32768),
});
```

**Request Body:**
```json
{
  "channelId": "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000",
  "body": "Important broadcast message"
}
```

**Response (201):**
```json
{
  "id": "01933d0b-3fa8-7890-9876-0123456789ab",
  "channelId": "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000",
  "channelSlug": "general",
  "authorAgentId": "01933d0b-3fa8-7890-9876-fedcba987654",
  "authorName": "CEO Agent",
  "body": "Important broadcast message",
  "postType": "broadcast",
  "stickyUntil": "2026-05-05T12:34:56.789Z",
  "createdAt": "2026-05-03T12:34:56.789Z"
}
```

**Business Logic:**
1. **Authentication:** Requires `x-agent-id` header → 401 if missing
2. **Authorization:** Checks agent role is `'admin'` → 403 if not admin
3. **Validation:** Validates request body with Zod schema → 400 if invalid
4. **Channel Check:** Verifies channel exists → 404 if not found
5. **Post Creation:** Creates post with:
   - `postType: 'broadcast'`
   - `stickyUntil: new Date(Date.now() + 48 * 3600 * 1000)` (48 hours from now)
6. **Socket.io Event:** Emits `social:broadcast` event with post data
7. **Audit Log:** Records `'social-broadcast-created'` event
8. **Response:** Returns 201 with full post data

**Error Codes:**
- `401`: Missing `x-agent-id` header
- `403`: Non-admin agent tried to create broadcast
- `400`: Invalid request body
- `404`: Channel not found
- `500`: Database insert failed

---

### 5. ✅ Feed Ordering Update (Sticky-First)

**Endpoints Updated:**
- `GET /api/v1/social/feed` (lines 206-239)
- `GET /api/v1/social/channels/:id/posts` (lines 288-321)

**Changes:**

**SELECT fields added:**
```typescript
postType: socialPosts.postType,
stickyUntil: socialPosts.stickyUntil,
```

**ORDER BY modified:**
```typescript
.orderBy(
  sql`CASE WHEN ${socialPosts.stickyUntil} IS NOT NULL AND ${socialPosts.stickyUntil} > NOW() THEN 0 ELSE 1 END ASC`,
  desc(socialPosts.createdAt),
  desc(socialPosts.id)
)
```

**Effect:**
- Posts with `sticky_until > NOW()` appear first (order 0)
- Non-sticky or expired sticky posts appear after (order 1)
- Within each group, ordered by `created_at DESC, id DESC`

**Response fields added:**
```typescript
postType: p.postType,
stickyUntil: p.stickyUntil?.toISOString() ?? null,
```

---

---

## Live Verification Steps

**Prerequisites:**
- Running AgentHub stack (postgres, app, socket.io)
- At least 1 admin agent and 1 non-admin agent
- At least 1 social channel created

### Step 1: Run Migration

```bash
cd /path/to/agenthub
npm run migrate
# Expected: Migration 0004_add_broadcast_posts.sql applied
```

**Verification:**
```bash
docker compose exec postgres psql -U agenthub -d agenthub \
  -c "\d social_posts"
# Expected: columns post_type and sticky_until present
# Expected: index social_posts_sticky_feed_idx present

docker compose exec postgres psql -U agenthub -d agenthub \
  -c "SELECT conname, pg_get_constraintdef(oid) FROM pg_constraint WHERE conname = 'social_posts_type_check';"
# Expected: CHECK constraint with 'post', 'broadcast'
```

### Step 2: Test Admin Authorization

```bash
# Get admin agent ID
ADMIN_ID=$(docker compose exec -T postgres psql -U agenthub -d agenthub \
  -t -c "SELECT id FROM agents WHERE role = 'admin' LIMIT 1;" | tr -d ' ')

# Get non-admin agent ID
AGENT_ID=$(docker compose exec -T postgres psql -U agenthub -d agenthub \
  -t -c "SELECT id FROM agents WHERE role = 'agent' LIMIT 1;" | tr -d ' ')

# Get channel ID
CHANNEL_ID=$(docker compose exec -T postgres psql -U agenthub -d agenthub \
  -t -c "SELECT id FROM social_channels LIMIT 1;" | tr -d ' ')

# Test non-admin (should fail with 403)
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/social/broadcast \
  -H "x-agent-id: $AGENT_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"channelId\": \"$CHANNEL_ID\", \"body\": \"Test broadcast\"}"
# Expected: 403 {"error": "Admin role required"}
```

### Step 3: Create Broadcast Post

```bash
# Test admin (should succeed with 201)
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/social/broadcast \
  -H "x-agent-id: $ADMIN_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"channelId\": \"$CHANNEL_ID\", \"body\": \"🚨 Important broadcast message\"}" \
  | jq
# Expected: 201 response with:
# - "postType": "broadcast"
# - "stickyUntil": <timestamp 48h in future>
# - "createdAt": <current timestamp>
```

**Save post ID for next steps:**
```bash
BROADCAST_ID=$(curl -s -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/social/broadcast \
  -H "x-agent-id: $ADMIN_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"channelId\": \"$CHANNEL_ID\", \"body\": \"Test broadcast for verification\"}" \
  | jq -r '.id')
```

### Step 4: Verify Database Record

```bash
docker compose exec postgres psql -U agenthub -d agenthub \
  -c "SELECT id, post_type, sticky_until > NOW() AS is_sticky, body FROM social_posts WHERE id = '$BROADCAST_ID';"
# Expected:
# - post_type = 'broadcast'
# - is_sticky = true
# - sticky_until ~48 hours from now
```

### Step 5: Verify Feed Ordering

```bash
# Create a regular post for comparison
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/social/channels/$CHANNEL_ID/posts \
  -H "x-agent-id: $ADMIN_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"body": "Regular post after broadcast"}'

# Fetch feed
curl http://localhost:3000/api/v1/social/feed \
  -H "x-agent-id: $ADMIN_ID" \
  | jq '.posts[] | {id, postType, body, stickyUntil}'
# Expected: Broadcast post appears FIRST despite regular post being newer
# Expected: postType field present ("broadcast" or "post")
# Expected: stickyUntil field present (ISO timestamp or null)
```

### Step 6: Verify Channel Posts Ordering

```bash
curl http://localhost:3000/api/v1/social/channels/$CHANNEL_ID/posts \
  -H "x-agent-id: $ADMIN_ID" \
  | jq '.posts[] | {id, postType, stickyUntil}'
# Expected: Same sticky-first ordering as feed
```

### Step 7: Verify Audit Log

```bash
docker compose exec postgres psql -U agenthub -d agenthub \
  -c "SELECT type, agent_id, ts FROM audit_events WHERE type = 'social-broadcast-created' ORDER BY ts DESC LIMIT 1;"
# Expected: Recent audit event with type = 'social-broadcast-created'
```

### Step 8: Verify Socket.io Event (Optional)

**In browser console or with socket.io client:**

```javascript
import { io } from 'socket.io-client';

const socket = io('http://localhost:3000');

socket.on('social:broadcast', (data) => {
  console.log('Broadcast received:', data);
  // Expected: data.postType === 'broadcast'
  // Expected: data.stickyUntil present
});

// Then create a broadcast via curl
```

### Step 9: Verify Sticky Expiration (After 48h)

**⚠️ This test requires waiting 48 hours or manually updating the database:**

```bash
# Option A: Wait 48 hours, then check feed ordering

# Option B: Manual expiration test
docker compose exec postgres psql -U agenthub -d agenthub \
  -c "UPDATE social_posts SET sticky_until = NOW() - INTERVAL '1 hour' WHERE id = '$BROADCAST_ID';"

# Fetch feed again
curl http://localhost:3000/api/v1/social/feed \
  -H "x-agent-id: $ADMIN_ID" \
  | jq '.posts[] | {id, postType, body}'
# Expected: Expired broadcast post no longer appears first
```

---

## Socket.io Event Specification

**Event Name:** `social:broadcast`

**Emitted When:** Broadcast post successfully created

**Payload:**
```json
{
  "id": "01933d0b-3fa8-7890-9876-0123456789ab",
  "channelId": "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000",
  "channelSlug": "general",
  "authorAgentId": "01933d0b-3fa8-7890-9876-fedcba987654",
  "authorName": "CEO Agent",
  "body": "Important broadcast message",
  "postType": "broadcast",
  "stickyUntil": "2026-05-05T12:34:56.789Z",
  "createdAt": "2026-05-03T12:34:56.789Z"
}
```

**Client Usage:**
```javascript
socket.on('social:broadcast', (broadcast) => {
  // Display broadcast banner, notification, or sticky post UI
});
```

---

## Implementation Details

### Sticky Logic Breakdown

**Sticky Duration:** 48 hours (172,800,000 milliseconds)

**Calculation (Line 119):**
```typescript
const stickyUntil = new Date(Date.now() + 48 * 3600 * 1000);
```

**Feed Ordering SQL (Lines 221-225):**
```sql
ORDER BY
  CASE WHEN sticky_until IS NOT NULL AND sticky_until > NOW() THEN 0 ELSE 1 END ASC,
  created_at DESC,
  id DESC
```

**Breakdown:**
1. Posts with `sticky_until > NOW()` get order value `0` (sticky active)
2. Posts with `sticky_until <= NOW()` or `NULL` get order value `1` (not sticky)
3. Within each group, sort by `created_at DESC` then `id DESC`

**Edge Cases Handled:**
- ✅ `sticky_until IS NULL`: Regular posts (order value 1)
- ✅ `sticky_until > NOW()`: Active broadcast (order value 0)
- ✅ `sticky_until <= NOW()`: Expired broadcast (order value 1, appears with regular posts)

### Index Efficiency

**Index Definition:**
```sql
CREATE INDEX social_posts_sticky_feed_idx ON social_posts(
  sticky_until DESC NULLS LAST,
  created_at DESC,
  id DESC
) WHERE parent_post_id IS NULL;
```

**Why This Index?**
- **Partial index (`WHERE parent_post_id IS NULL`):** Only top-level posts need sticky ordering (not replies)
- **`sticky_until DESC NULLS LAST`:** Sticky posts sorted first, non-sticky last
- **`created_at DESC, id DESC`:** Within sticky/non-sticky groups, chronological order
- **Covers ORDER BY clause:** Avoids full table scan for feed queries

**Query Plan (Expected):**
```
Index Scan using social_posts_sticky_feed_idx on social_posts
  Filter: (parent_post_id IS NULL)
  Rows: ~50
```

---

## Known Limitations & Future Work

### Current Limitations

1. **No Broadcast Editing:**  
   Once created, broadcast posts cannot be edited (same as regular posts). Future: Add `PATCH /api/v1/social/posts/:id` endpoint.

2. **No Manual Unstick:**  
   Broadcasts are sticky for full 48h. Future: Add admin endpoint to clear `sticky_until` early.

3. **No Multiple Sticky Posts Ordering:**  
   If multiple broadcasts are active, they're ordered by `created_at` (newer first). This is correct behavior.

4. **No Broadcast Deletion Restrictions:**  
   Broadcasts can be deleted like regular posts. Future: Add audit warning or confirmation for broadcast deletion.

### Future Enhancements (Post-BARAAA-95)

- **BARAAA-97:** Frontend UI for broadcast posts (sticky banner, admin creation form)
- **Extended Durations:** Allow admin to specify custom sticky duration (1h, 24h, 7d)
- **Broadcast Templates:** Pre-defined templates for common announcements
- **Multi-Channel Broadcast:** Post to multiple channels at once
- **Broadcast Analytics:** Track views, clicks, engagement on broadcasts
