Zamil Majdy f31c160043 feat(platform): add endedAt field and fix execution analytics timestamps (#11759)
## Summary

This PR adds proper execution end time tracking and fixes timestamp
handling throughout the execution analytics system.

### Key Changes

1. **Added `endedAt` field to database schema** - Executions now have a
dedicated field for tracking when they finish
2. **Fixed timestamp nullable handling** - `started_at` and `ended_at`
are now properly nullable in types
3. **Fixed chart aggregation** - Reduced threshold from ≥3 to ≥1
executions per day
4. **Improved timestamp display** - Moved timestamps to expandable
details section in analytics table
5. **Fixed nullable timestamp bugs** - Updated all frontend code to
handle null timestamps correctly

## Problem Statement

### Issue 1: Missing Execution End Times
Previously, executions used `updatedAt` (last DB update) as a proxy for
"end time". This broke when adding correctness scores retroactively -
the end time would change to whenever the score was added, not when the
execution actually finished.

### Issue 2: Chart Shows Only One Data Point
The accuracy trends chart showed only one data point despite having
executions across multiple days. Root cause: aggregation required ≥3
executions per day.

### Issue 3: Incorrect Type Definitions
Manually maintained types defined `started_at` and `ended_at` as
non-nullable `Date`, contradicting reality where QUEUED executions
haven't started yet.

## Solution

### Database Schema (`schema.prisma`)
```prisma
model AgentGraphExecution {
  // ...
  startedAt DateTime?
  endedAt   DateTime?  // NEW FIELD
  // ...
}
```

### Execution Lifecycle
- **QUEUED**: `startedAt = null`, `endedAt = null` (not started)
- **RUNNING**: `startedAt = set`, `endedAt = null` (in progress)  
- **COMPLETED/FAILED/TERMINATED**: `startedAt = set`, `endedAt = set`
(finished)

### Migration Strategy
```sql
-- Add endedAt column
ALTER TABLE "AgentGraphExecution" ADD COLUMN "endedAt" TIMESTAMP(3);

-- Backfill ONLY terminal executions (prevents marking RUNNING executions as ended)
UPDATE "AgentGraphExecution"
SET "endedAt" = "updatedAt"
WHERE "endedAt" IS NULL
  AND "executionStatus" IN ('COMPLETED', 'FAILED', 'TERMINATED');
```

## Changes by Component

### Backend

**`schema.prisma`**
- Added `endedAt` field to `AgentGraphExecution`

**`execution.py`**
- Made `started_at` and `ended_at` optional with Field descriptions
- Updated `from_db()` to use `endedAt` instead of `updatedAt`
- `update_graph_execution_stats()` sets `endedAt` when status becomes
terminal

**`execution_analytics_routes.py`**
- Removed `created_at`/`updated_at` from `ExecutionAnalyticsResult` (DB
metadata, not execution data)
- Kept only `started_at`/`ended_at` (actual execution runtime)
- Made settings global (avoid recreation)
- Moved OpenAI key validation to `_process_batch` (only check when LLM
actually runs)

**`analytics.py`**
- Fixed aggregation: `COUNT(*) >= 1` (was 3) - include all days with ≥1
execution
- Uses `createdAt` for chart grouping (when execution was queued)

**`late_execution_monitor.py`**
- Handle optional `started_at` with fallback to `datetime.min` for
sorting
- Display "Not started" when `started_at` is null

### Frontend

**Type Definitions**
- Fixed manually maintained `types.ts`: `started_at: Date | null` (was
non-nullable)
- Generated types were already correct

**Analytics Components**
- `AnalyticsResultsTable.tsx`: Show only `started_at`/`ended_at` in
2-column expandable grid
- `ExecutionAnalyticsForm.tsx`: Added filter explanation UI

**Monitoring Components** - Fixed null handling bugs:
- `OldAgentLibraryView.tsx`: Handle null in reduce function
- `agent-runs-selector-list.tsx`: Safe sorting with `?.getTime() ?? 0`
- `AgentFlowList.tsx`: Filter/sort with null checks
- `FlowRunsStatus.tsx`: Filter null timestamps
- `FlowRunsTimeline.tsx`: Filter executions with null timestamps before
rendering
- `monitoring/page.tsx`: Safe sorting
- `ActivityItem.tsx`: Fallback to "recently" for null timestamps

## Benefits

 **Accurate End Times**: `endedAt` is frozen when execution finishes,
not updated later
 **Type Safety**: Nullable types match reality, exposing real bugs  
 **Better UX**: Chart shows all days with data (not just days with ≥3
executions)
 **Bug Fixes**: 7+ frontend components now handle null timestamps
correctly
 **Documentation**: Field descriptions explain when timestamps are null

## Testing

### Backend
```bash
cd autogpt_platform/backend
poetry run format  #  All checks passed
poetry run lint    #  All checks passed
```

### Frontend  
```bash
cd autogpt_platform/frontend
pnpm format        #  All checks passed
pnpm lint          #  All checks passed
pnpm types         #  All type errors fixed
```

### Test Data Generation
Created script to generate 35 test executions across 7 days with
correctness scores:
```bash
poetry run python scripts/generate_test_analytics_data.py
```

## Migration Notes

⚠️ **Important**: The migration only backfills `endedAt` for executions
with terminal status (COMPLETED, FAILED, TERMINATED). Active executions
(QUEUED, RUNNING) correctly keep `endedAt = null`.

## Breaking Changes

None - this is backward compatible:
- `endedAt` is nullable, existing code that doesn't use it is unaffected
- Frontend already used generated types which were correct
- Migration safely backfills historical data

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---

> [!NOTE]
> Introduces explicit execution end-time tracking and normalizes
timestamp handling across backend and frontend.
> 
> - Adds `endedAt` to `AgentGraphExecution` (schema + migration);
backfills terminal executions; sets `endedAt` on terminal status updates
> - Makes `GraphExecutionMeta.started_at/ended_at` optional; updates
`from_db()` to use DB `endedAt`; exposes timestamps in
`ExecutionAnalyticsResult`
> - Moves OpenAI key validation into batch processing; instantiates
`Settings` once
> - Accuracy trends: reduce daily aggregation threshold to `>= 1`;
optional historical series
> - Monitoring/analytics UI: results table shows/export
`started_at`/`ended_at`; adds chart filter explainer
> - Frontend null-safety: update types (`Date | null`) and fix
sorting/filtering/rendering for nullable timestamps across monitoring
and library views
> - Late execution monitor: safe sorting/display when `started_at` is
null
> - OpenAPI specs updated for new/nullable fields
