Phase 5 — Weekly Orchestration Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Chain scrape → generate → email → deadline → finalize into a Friday weekly cycle, driven by a dedicated APScheduler container, with per-step idempotency via a new weekly_run DB table.

Architecture: A scheduler container (same Docker image as backend, different command) fires five APScheduler jobs every Friday in Pacific time. Each job calls app.services.orchestrator.runner.run_step(step_name), which iterates all family_profile rows, upserts a weekly_run record, and delegates to a step function in steps.py. Steps are idempotent: a non-null timestamp column short-circuits re-execution. Manual override via POST /api/admin/orchestrate/* endpoints dispatches to the same functions via FastAPI BackgroundTasks.

Tech Stack: APScheduler 3.10.4 (already in requirements.txt), existing FastAPI/SQLAlchemy/Alembic stack, existing scraper_service.ScraperService, planner.generate.generate_meal_plan, approval.issue_token, email.get_email_backend.

  • Step 2: Apply migration and round-trip verify
docker compose --env-file .env.test exec backend alembic upgrade head

Expected: Running upgrade 0007 -> 0008, Phase 5 orchestration

docker compose --env-file .env.test exec backend alembic downgrade -1
docker compose --env-file .env.test exec backend alembic upgrade head

Expected: both run without error.

  • Step 3: Commit
git add backend/alembic/versions/0008_phase5_orchestration.py
git commit -m "feat: migration 0008 — weekly_run table + pending_approval_policy"

Task 2 — WeeklyRun model + FamilyProfile update

Files:

  • Modify: backend/app/models/__init__.py

  • Step 1: Add WeeklyRun model and update FamilyProfile

In backend/app/models/__init__.py, add after the IngredientGroceryMatch class:

class WeeklyRun(Base):
    __tablename__ = "weekly_run"

    id = Column(UUID(as_uuid=True), primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4)
    family_id = Column(
        UUID(as_uuid=True),
        ForeignKey("family_profile.id", ondelete="CASCADE"),
        nullable=False,
    )
    week_start_date = Column(Date, nullable=False)
    status = Column(String(20), nullable=False, default="pending")
    scraped_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True))
    generated_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True))
    emailed_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True))
    deadline_passed_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True))
    finalized_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True))
    used_stale_data = Column(Boolean, nullable=False, default=False)
    error_step = Column(String(50))
    error_message = Column(Text)
    created_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True), server_default=func.now())

    __table_args__ = (
        UniqueConstraint(
            "family_id", "week_start_date", name="uq_weekly_run_family_week"
        ),
    )

    family_profile = relationship("FamilyProfile", back_populates="weekly_runs")

In FamilyProfile, add the column after calorie_target and add the relationship:

# column (after calorie_target line):
pending_approval_policy = Column(String(10), nullable=False, server_default="approve")

# relationship (after the existing relationships):
weekly_runs = relationship(
    "WeeklyRun", back_populates="family_profile", cascade="all, delete-orphan"
)
  • Step 2: Verify import is clean
docker compose --env-file .env.test exec backend python -c "from app.models import WeeklyRun, FamilyProfile; print('ok')"

Expected: ok

  • Step 3: Commit
git add backend/app/models/__init__.py
git commit -m "feat: WeeklyRun model + FamilyProfile.pending_approval_policy"

Task 3 — Settings: ADMIN_EMAIL + APP_BASE_URL

Files:

  • Modify: backend/app/config.py

  • Modify: docker-compose.yml

  • Step 1: Add settings

In backend/app/config.py, add after SESSION_PASSWORD:

ADMIN_EMAIL: str = ""
APP_BASE_URL: str = "http://localhost"
  • Step 2: Add env vars to docker-compose.yml backend service

In docker-compose.yml, under backend.environment, append:

      - ADMIN_EMAIL=${ADMIN_EMAIL:-}
      - APP_BASE_URL=${APP_BASE_URL:-http://localhost}
  • Step 3: Verify
docker compose --env-file .env.test exec backend python -c "from app.config import settings; print(settings.ADMIN_EMAIL, settings.APP_BASE_URL)"

Expected: http://localhost (empty ADMIN_EMAIL, default APP_BASE_URL)

  • Step 4: Commit
git add backend/app/config.py docker-compose.yml
git commit -m "feat: add ADMIN_EMAIL and APP_BASE_URL settings"

Task 4 — alerts.py

Files:

  • Create: backend/app/services/orchestrator/alerts.py

  • Test: backend/tests/test_orchestrator.py (initial section)

  • Step 1: Write failing tests

Create backend/tests/test_orchestrator.py:

        run_step(step, week)
  • Step 4: Update orchestrator/__init__.py
# backend/app/services/orchestrator/__init__.py
from app.services.orchestrator.runner import run_step, run_week

__all__ = ["run_step", "run_week"]
  • Step 5: Run to verify pass
docker compose --env-file .env.test exec \
  -e TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://mealplanner:${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}@db:5432/mealplanner \
  backend pytest tests/test_orchestrator.py -k "run_step or run_week" -v

Expected: 3 passed

  • Step 6: Run full orchestrator test suite
docker compose --env-file .env.test exec \
  -e TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://mealplanner:${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}@db:5432/mealplanner \
  backend pytest tests/test_orchestrator.py -v

Expected: all tests pass (target: ~20 tests).

  • Step 7: Commit
git add backend/app/services/orchestrator/ backend/tests/test_orchestrator.py
git commit -m "feat: orchestrator runner — run_step / run_week per-family loop"

Task 11 — Admin orchestrate endpoints

Files:

  • Modify: backend/app/api/admin.py

  • Modify: backend/tests/test_orchestrator.py

  • Step 1: Write failing tests — append to test_orchestrator.py:

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Admin endpoint tests
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

@pytest.fixture()
def admin_client(db):
    from fastapi.testclient import TestClient
    from app.main import app
    from app.database import get_db

    app.dependency_overrides[get_db] = lambda: db
    client = TestClient(app)
    yield client
    app.dependency_overrides.clear()


ADMIN_HEADERS = {"Authorization": "Bearer test-admin-token"}


def test_orchestrate_status_returns_list(admin_client, family, monkeypatch):
    from app.config import settings
    monkeypatch.setattr(settings, "ADMIN_TOKEN", "test-admin-token")
    resp = admin_client.get("/api/admin/orchestrate/status", headers=ADMIN_HEADERS)
    assert resp.status_code == 200
    assert "runs" in resp.json()


def test_orchestrate_step_invalid_returns_400(admin_client, monkeypatch):
    from app.config import settings
    monkeypatch.setattr(settings, "ADMIN_TOKEN", "test-admin-token")
    resp = admin_client.post(
        "/api/admin/orchestrate/bogus", headers=ADMIN_HEADERS
    )
    assert resp.status_code == 400


def test_orchestrate_run_week_returns_202(admin_client, monkeypatch):
    from app.config import settings
    monkeypatch.setattr(settings, "ADMIN_TOKEN", "test-admin-token")
    monkeypatch.setattr(
        "app.api.admin.run_week",
        lambda week=None: None,
    )
    resp = admin_client.post(
        "/api/admin/orchestrate/run-week", headers=ADMIN_HEADERS
    )
    assert resp.status_code == 202
  • Step 2: Run to verify they fail
docker compose --env-file .env.test exec \
  -e TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://mealplanner:${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}@db:5432/mealplanner \
  backend pytest tests/test_orchestrator.py -k "orchestrate" -v

Expected: 404 or import errors — endpoints not wired yet.

  • Step 3: Add orchestrate endpoints to admin.py

Append to backend/app/api/admin.py (add the new imports at the top with existing imports, add routes at the bottom):

New imports to add at the top:

from datetime import date as DateType
from app.services.orchestrator import run_step, run_week
from app.models import WeeklyRun

New routes at the bottom:

_VALID_STEPS = {"scrape", "generate", "email", "deadline", "finalize"}


@router.get("/orchestrate/status")
def orchestrate_status(limit: int = 10, db: Session = Depends(get_db)):
    runs = (
        db.query(WeeklyRun)
        .order_by(WeeklyRun.week_start_date.desc())
        .limit(limit)
        .all()
    )
    return {
        "runs": [
            {
                "id": str(r.id),
                "family_id": str(r.family_id),
                "week_start_date": r.week_start_date.isoformat(),
                "status": r.status,
                "scraped_at": r.scraped_at.isoformat() if r.scraped_at else None,
                "generated_at": r.generated_at.isoformat() if r.generated_at else None,
                "emailed_at": r.emailed_at.isoformat() if r.emailed_at else None,
                "deadline_passed_at": r.deadline_passed_at.isoformat()
                if r.deadline_passed_at
                else None,
                "finalized_at": r.finalized_at.isoformat() if r.finalized_at else None,
                "used_stale_data": r.used_stale_data,
                "error_step": r.error_step,
                "error_message": r.error_message,
            }
            for r in runs
        ]
    }


@router.post("/orchestrate/run-week", status_code=202)
def orchestrate_run_week(
    background_tasks: BackgroundTasks,
    week_start: Optional[str] = None,
):
    week = DateType.fromisoformat(week_start) if week_start else None
    background_tasks.add_task(run_week, week)
    return {"status": "queued", "week_start": str(week or "current")}


@router.post("/orchestrate/{step}", status_code=202)
def orchestrate_step(
    step: str,
    background_tasks: BackgroundTasks,
    week_start: Optional[str] = None,
):
    if step not in _VALID_STEPS:
        raise HTTPException(
            status_code=400,
            detail=f"Unknown step {step!r}. Valid: {sorted(_VALID_STEPS)}",
        )
    week = DateType.fromisoformat(week_start) if week_start else None
    background_tasks.add_task(run_step, step, week)
    return {"status": "queued", "step": step, "week_start": str(week or "current")}

Important: The GET /orchestrate/status route must be registered before POST /orchestrate/{step} in the file, and both before any general catch-all. FastAPI matches routes in order — run-week in the POST path must also come before {step}. The order above (status GET, run-week POST, {step} POST) is correct.

  • Step 4: Run to verify pass
docker compose --env-file .env.test exec \
  -e TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://mealplanner:${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}@db:5432/mealplanner \
  backend pytest tests/test_orchestrator.py -k "orchestrate" -v

Expected: 3 passed

  • Step 5: Run full test suite to check for regressions
docker compose --env-file .env.test exec \
  -e TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://mealplanner:${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}@db:5432/mealplanner \
  backend pytest -q tests/

Expected: all prior tests pass + new orchestrator tests pass.

  • Step 6: Commit
git add backend/app/api/admin.py backend/tests/test_orchestrator.py
git commit -m "feat: admin orchestrate endpoints — run-week, per-step, status"

Task 12 — Scheduler entry point

Files:

  • Create: backend/app/scheduler/__init__.py

  • Create: backend/app/scheduler/__main__.py

  • Step 1: Create package and entry point

mkdir -p backend/app/scheduler
touch backend/app/scheduler/__init__.py

Create backend/app/scheduler/__main__.py:

"""
APScheduler entry point for the scheduler container.

  • Step 3: Commit
git add backend/app/scheduler/
git commit -m "feat: APScheduler entry point — 5-job weekly cadence (Pacific)"

Task 13 — Docker Compose: scheduler service

Files:

  • Modify: docker-compose.yml

  • Step 1: Add scheduler service

In docker-compose.yml, add after the backend service block (before frontend):

  scheduler:
    build:
      context: ./backend
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    command: python -m app.scheduler
    environment:
      - DATABASE_URL=postgresql://mealplanner:${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}@db:5432/mealplanner
      - SENDGRID_API_KEY=${SENDGRID_API_KEY}
      - LUCKY_CA_URL=${LUCKY_CA_URL:-https://luckysupermarkets.com}
      - LUCKY_STORE_ID=${LUCKY_STORE_ID:-757}
      - SWIFTLY_API_BASE=${SWIFTLY_API_BASE:-https://prod.swiftlyapi.net}
      - SWIFTLY_CATEGORIES_URL=${SWIFTLY_CATEGORIES_URL:-https://luckysupermarkets.com/categories}
      - AI_IMAGE_ENABLED=${AI_IMAGE_ENABLED:-false}
      - LOG_LEVEL=${LOG_LEVEL:-INFO}
      - SECRET_KEY=${SECRET_KEY}
      - ADMIN_TOKEN=${ADMIN_TOKEN}
      - SESSION_PASSWORD=${SESSION_PASSWORD}
      - EMAIL_BACKEND=${EMAIL_BACKEND:-console}
      - ADMIN_EMAIL=${ADMIN_EMAIL:-}
      - APP_BASE_URL=${APP_BASE_URL:-http://localhost}
    depends_on:
      db:
        condition: service_healthy
    restart: unless-stopped

Also add ADMIN_EMAIL and APP_BASE_URL to the existing backend service environment block (they're needed there too for the admin endpoints).

  • Step 2: Build and start scheduler container
docker compose --env-file .env.test build scheduler
docker compose --env-file .env.test up -d scheduler

Expected: container starts without error.

  • Step 3: Verify scheduler logs show registered jobs
docker compose --env-file .env.test logs scheduler

Expected output contains:

Registered: Weekly scrape (Fri 02:00 PT)
Registered: Weekly generate (Fri 05:00 PT)
Registered: Weekly email (Fri 06:00 PT)
Registered: Weekly deadline (Fri 17:00 PT)
Registered: Weekly finalize (Fri 18:00 PT)
  • Step 4: Commit
git add docker-compose.yml
git commit -m "feat: add scheduler container to docker-compose"

Final verification

  • Run full test suite
docker compose --env-file .env.test exec \
  -e TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://mealplanner:${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}@db:5432/mealplanner \
  backend pytest -q tests/

Expected: all tests pass (92 prior + ~20 new orchestrator tests).

  • Smoke-test manual step trigger via API
# Seed a family_profile row first if DB is fresh
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/admin/orchestrate/run-week \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ADMIN_TOKEN}" | jq .

Expected: {"status": "queued", "week_start": "current"}

curl -s http://localhost:8000/api/admin/orchestrate/status \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ADMIN_TOKEN}" | jq .runs[0]

Expected: JSON with week_start_date, step timestamps, and status.

  • Final commit
