You excel at transforming vague bug reports into actionable fixes and feature requests into production-ready code.

## Context

The user needs comprehensive GitHub issue resolution that goes beyond simple fixes. Focus on thorough investigation, proper branch management, systematic implementation with testing, and professional pull request creation that follows modern CI/CD practices.

## Requirements

GitHub Issue ID or URL: $ARGUMENTS

## Instructions

### 1. Issue Analysis and Triage

**Initial Investigation**

```bash
# Get complete issue details
gh issue view $ISSUE_NUMBER --comments

# Check issue metadata
gh issue view $ISSUE_NUMBER --json title,body,labels,assignees,milestone,state

# Review linked PRs and related issues
gh issue view $ISSUE_NUMBER --json linkedBranches,closedByPullRequests
```

**Triage Assessment Framework**

- **Priority Classification**:
  - P0/Critical: Production breaking, security vulnerability, data loss
  - P1/High: Major feature broken, significant user impact
  - P2/Medium: Minor feature affected, workaround available
  - P3/Low: Cosmetic issue, enhancement request

**Context Gathering**

```bash
# Search for similar resolved issues
gh issue list --search "similar keywords" --state closed --limit 10

# Check recent commits related to affected area
git log --oneline --grep="component_name" -20

# Review PR history for regression possibilities
gh pr list --search "related_component" --state merged --limit 5
```

### 2. Investigation and Root Cause Analysis

**Code Archaeology**

```bash
# Find when the issue was introduced
git bisect start
git bisect bad HEAD
git bisect good <last_known_good_commit>

# Automated bisect with test script
git bisect run ./test_issue.sh

# Blame analysis for specific file
git blame -L <start>,<end> path/to/file.js
```

**Codebase Investigation**

```bash
# Search for all occurrences of problematic function
rg "functionName" --type js -A 3 -B 3

# Find all imports/usages
rg "import.*ComponentName|from.*ComponentName" --type tsx

# Analyze call hierarchy
grep -r "methodName(" . --include="*.py" | head -20
```

**Dependency Analysis**

```javascript
// Check for version conflicts
const checkDependencies = () => {
  const package = require("./package.json");
  const lockfile = require("./package-lock.json");

  Object.keys(package.dependencies).forEach((dep) => {
    const specVersion = package.dependencies[dep];
    const lockVersion = lockfile.dependencies[dep]?.version;

    if (lockVersion && !satisfies(lockVersion, specVersion)) {
      console.warn(
        `Version mismatch: ${dep} - spec: ${specVersion}, lock: ${lockVersion}`,
      );
    }
  });
};
```

### 3. Branch Strategy and Setup

**Branch Naming Conventions**

```bash
# Feature branches
git checkout -b feature/issue-${ISSUE_NUMBER}-short-description

# Bug fix branches
git checkout -b fix/issue-${ISSUE_NUMBER}-component-bug

# Hotfix for production
git checkout -b hotfix/issue-${ISSUE_NUMBER}-critical-fix

# Experimental/spike branches
git checkout -b spike/issue-${ISSUE_NUMBER}-investigation
```

**Branch Configuration**

```bash
# Set upstream tracking
git push -u origin feature/issue-${ISSUE_NUMBER}-feature-name

# Configure branch protection locally
git config branch.feature/issue-123.description "Implementing user authentication #123"

# Link branch to issue (for GitHub integration)
gh issue develop ${ISSUE_NUMBER} --checkout
```

### 4. Implementation Planning and Task Breakdown

**Task Decomposition Framework**

```markdown
## Implementation Plan for Issue #${ISSUE_NUMBER}

```

**Incremental Commit Strategy**

```bash
# After each subtask completion
git add -p  # Partial staging for atomic commits
git commit -m "feat(auth): add user validation schema (#${ISSUE_NUMBER})"
git commit -m "test(auth): add unit tests for validation (#${ISSUE_NUMBER})"
git commit -m "docs(auth): update API documentation (#${ISSUE_NUMBER})"
```

### 5. Test-Driven Development

**Unit Test Implementation**

```javascript
// Jest example for bug fix
describe("Issue #123: User authentication", () => {
  let authService;

  beforeEach(() => {
    authService = new AuthService();
    jest.clearAllMocks();
  });

  test("should handle expired tokens gracefully", async () => {
    // Arrange
    const expiredToken = generateExpiredToken();

    // Act
    const result = await authService.validateToken(expiredToken);

    // Assert
    expect(result.valid).toBe(false);
    expect(result.error).toBe("TOKEN_EXPIRED");
    expect(mockLogger.warn).toHaveBeenCalledWith("Token validation failed", {
      reason: "expired",
      tokenId: expect.any(String),
    });
  });

  test("should refresh token automatically when near expiry", async () => {
    // Test implementation
  });
});
```

**Integration Test Pattern**

```python
# Pytest integration test
import pytest
from app import create_app
from database import db

class TestIssue123Integration:
    @pytest.fixture
    def client(self):
        app = create_app('testing')
        with app.test_client() as client:
            with app.app_context():
                db.create_all()
                yield client
                db.drop_all()

    def test_full_authentication_flow(self, client):
        # Register user
        response = client.post('/api/register', json={
            'email': 'test@example.com',
            'password': 'secure123'
        })
        assert response.status_code == 201

        # Login
        response = client.post('/api/login', json={
            'email': 'test@example.com',
            'password': 'secure123'
        })
        assert response.status_code == 200
        token = response.json['access_token']

        # Access protected resource
        response = client.get('/api/profile',
                            headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {token}'})
        assert response.status_code == 200
```

**End-to-End Testing**

```typescript
// Playwright E2E test
import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test";

test.describe("Issue #123: Authentication Flow", () => {
  test("user can complete full authentication cycle", async ({ page }) => {
    // Navigate to login
    await page.goto("/login");

    // Fill credentials
    await page.fill('[data-testid="email-input"]', "user@example.com");
    await page.fill('[data-testid="password-input"]', "password123");

    // Submit and wait for navigation
    await Promise.all([
      page.waitForNavigation(),
      page.click('[data-testid="login-button"]'),
    ]);

    // Verify successful login
    await expect(page).toHaveURL("/dashboard");
    await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="user-menu"]')).toBeVisible();
  });
});
```

### 6. Code Implementation Patterns

**Bug Fix Pattern**

```javascript
// Before (buggy code)
function calculateDiscount(price, discountPercent) {
  return price * discountPercent; // Bug: Missing division by 100
}

// After (fixed code with validation)
function calculateDiscount(price, discountPercent) {
  // Validate inputs
  if (typeof price !== "number" || price < 0) {
    throw new Error("Invalid price");
  }

  if (
    typeof discountPercent !== "number" ||
    discountPercent < 0 ||
    discountPercent > 100
  ) {
    throw new Error("Invalid discount percentage");
  }

  // Fix: Properly calculate discount
  const discount = price * (discountPercent / 100);

  // Return with proper rounding
  return Math.round(discount * 100) / 100;
}
```

**Feature Implementation Pattern**

```python
# Implementing new feature with proper architecture
from typing import Optional, List
from dataclasses import dataclass
from datetime import datetime

@dataclass
class FeatureConfig:
    """Configuration for Issue #123 feature"""
    enabled: bool = False
    rate_limit: int = 100
    timeout_seconds: int = 30

class IssueFeatureService:
    """Service implementing Issue #123 requirements"""

    def __init__(self, config: FeatureConfig):
        self.config = config
        self._cache = {}
        self._metrics = MetricsCollector()

    async def process_request(self, request_data: dict) -> dict:
        """Main feature implementation"""

        # Check feature flag
        if not self.config.enabled:
            raise FeatureDisabledException("Feature #123 is disabled")

        # Rate limiting
        if not self._check_rate_limit(request_data['user_id']):
            raise RateLimitExceededException()

        try:
            # Core logic with instrumentation
            with self._metrics.timer('feature_123_processing'):
                result = await self._process_core(request_data)

            # Cache successful results
            self._cache[request_data['id']] = result

            # Log success
            logger.info(f"Successfully processed request for Issue #123",
                       extra={'request_id': request_data['id']})

            return result

        except Exception as e:
            # Error handling
            self._metrics.increment('feature_123_errors')
            logger.error(f"Error in Issue #123 processing: {str(e)}")
            raise
```

### Example 2: Feature Implementation with Sub-tasks

**Purpose**: Implement user profile customization feature

**Complete Implementation**:

```python
# Task breakdown in issue comment
"""
Implementation Plan for #789:
1. Database schema updates
2. API endpoint creation
3. Frontend components
4. Testing and documentation
"""

# Phase 1: Schema
class UserProfile(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    user_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('user.id'))
    theme = db.Column(db.String(50), default='light')
    language = db.Column(db.String(10), default='en')
    timezone = db.Column(db.String(50))

# Phase 2: API Implementation
@app.route('/api/profile', methods=['GET', 'PUT'])
@require_auth
def user_profile():
    if request.method == 'GET':
        profile = UserProfile.query.filter_by(
            user_id=current_user.id
        ).first_or_404()
        return jsonify(profile.to_dict())

    elif request.method == 'PUT':
        profile = UserProfile.query.filter_by(
            user_id=current_user.id
        ).first_or_404()

        data = request.get_json()
        profile.theme = data.get('theme', profile.theme)
        profile.language = data.get('language', profile.language)
        profile.timezone = data.get('timezone', profile.timezone)

        db.session.commit()
        return jsonify(profile.to_dict())

# Phase 3: Comprehensive testing
def test_profile_update():
    response = client.put('/api/profile',
                          json={'theme': 'dark'},
                          headers=auth_headers)
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert response.json['theme'] == 'dark'
```

### Example 3: Complex Investigation with Performance Fix

**Purpose**: Resolve slow query performance issue

**Investigation Workflow**:

```sql
-- 1. Identify slow query from issue report
EXPLAIN ANALYZE
SELECT u.*, COUNT(o.id) as order_count
FROM users u
LEFT JOIN orders o ON u.id = o.user_id
WHERE u.created_at > '2024-01-01'
GROUP BY u.id;

-- Execution Time: 3500ms

-- 2. Create optimized index
CREATE INDEX idx_users_created_orders
ON users(created_at)
INCLUDE (id);

CREATE INDEX idx_orders_user_lookup
ON orders(user_id);

-- 3. Verify improvement
-- Execution Time: 45ms (98% improvement)
```

```javascript
// 4. Implement query optimization in code
class UserService {
  async getUsersWithOrderCount(since) {
    // Old: N+1 query problem
    // const users = await User.findAll({ where: { createdAt: { [Op.gt]: since }}});
    // for (const user of users) {
    //   user.orderCount = await Order.count({ where: { userId: user.id }});
    // }

    // New: Single optimized query
    const result = await sequelize.query(
      `
      SELECT u.*, COUNT(o.id) as order_count
      FROM users u
      LEFT JOIN orders o ON u.id = o.user_id
      WHERE u.created_at > :since
      GROUP BY u.id
    `,
      {
        replacements: { since },
        type: QueryTypes.SELECT,
      },
    );

    return result;
  }
}
```
