## Summary Fix critical issues where activity status generator incorrectly reported failed executions as successful, and enhance AI evaluation logic to be more accurate about actual task accomplishment. ## Changes Made ### 1. Missing Block Handling (`backend/data/graph.py`) - **Replace ValueError with graceful degradation**: When blocks are deleted/missing, return `_UnknownBlock` placeholder instead of crashing - **Comprehensive interface implementation**: `_UnknownBlock` implements all expected Block methods to prevent type errors - **Warning logging**: Log missing blocks for debugging without breaking execution flow - **Removed unnecessary caching**: Direct constructor calls instead of cached wrapper functions ### 2. Enhanced Activity Status AI Evaluation (`backend/executor/activity_status_generator.py`) #### Intention-Based Success Evaluation - **Graph description analysis**: AI now reads graph description FIRST to understand intended purpose - **Purpose-driven evaluation**: Success is measured against what the graph was designed to accomplish - **Critical output analysis**: Enhanced detection of missing outputs from key blocks (Output, Post, Create, Send, Publish, Generate) - **Sub-agent failure detection**: Better identification when AgentExecutorBlock produces no outputs #### Improved Prompting - **Intent-specific examples**: 'blog writing' → check for blog content, 'email automation' → check for sent emails - **Primary evaluation criteria**: 'Did this execution accomplish what the graph was designed to do?' - **Enhanced checklist**: 7-point analysis including graph description matching - **Technical vs. goal completion**: Distinguish between workflow steps completing vs. actual user goals achieved #### Removed Database Error Handling - **Eliminated try-catch blocks**: No longer needed around `get_graph_metadata` and `get_graph` calls - **Direct database calls**: Simplified error handling after fixing missing block root cause - **Cleaner code flow**: More predictable execution path without redundant error handling ## Problem Solved - **False success reports**: AI previously marked executions as 'successful' when critical output blocks produced no results - **Missing block crashes**: System would fail when trying to analyze executions with deleted/missing blocks - **Intent-blind evaluation**: AI evaluated technical completion instead of actual goal achievement - **Database service errors**: 500 errors when missing blocks caused graph loading failures ## Business Impact - **More accurate user feedback**: Users get honest assessment of whether their automations actually worked - **Better task completion detection**: Clear distinction between 'workflow completed' vs. 'goal achieved' - **Improved reliability**: System handles edge cases gracefully without crashing - **Enhanced user trust**: Truthful reporting builds confidence in the platform ## Testing - ✅ Tested with problematic executions that previously showed false successes - ✅ Confirmed missing block handling works without warnings - ✅ Verified enhanced prompt correctly identifies failures - ✅ Database calls work without try-catch protection ## Example Before/After **Before (False Success):** ``` Graph: "Automated SEO Blog Writer" Status: "✅ I successfully completed your blog writing task!" Reality: No blog content was actually created (critical output blocks had no outputs) ``` **After (Accurate Failure Detection):** ``` Graph: "Automated SEO Blog Writer" Status: "❌ The task failed because the blog post creation step didn't produce any output." Reality: Correctly identifies that the intended blog writing goal was not achieved ``` ## Files Modified - `backend/data/graph.py`: Missing block graceful handling with complete interface - `backend/executor/activity_status_generator.py`: Enhanced AI evaluation with intention-based analysis ## Type of Change - [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) - [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality) - [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected) - [ ] This change requires a documentation update ## Checklist - [x] My code follows the style guidelines of this project - [x] I have performed a self-review of my own code - [x] I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas - [x] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation - [x] My changes generate no new warnings - [x] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works - [x] New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes - [x] Any dependent changes have been merged and published in downstream modules --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
