# Lineup Model - Polymorphic Migration Summary

**Date**: 2025-10-23
**Status**: ✅ COMPLETE

## Overview

Updated the `Lineup` database model to support both PD and SBA leagues using a polymorphic design pattern, matching the approach used in `RosterLink`.

## Changes Made

### 1. Database Model (`app/models/db_models.py`)

**Before**:
```python
class Lineup(Base):
    # ...
    card_id = Column(Integer, nullable=False)  # PD only
```

**After**:
```python
class Lineup(Base):
    """Lineup model - tracks player assignments in a game

    PD League: Uses card_id to track which cards are in the lineup
    SBA League: Uses player_id to track which players are in the lineup

    Exactly one of card_id or player_id must be populated per row.
    """
    # ...
    # Polymorphic player reference
    card_id = Column(Integer, nullable=True)  # PD only
    player_id = Column(Integer, nullable=True)  # SBA only

    # Table-level constraints
    __table_args__ = (
        # Ensure exactly one ID is populated (XOR logic)
        CheckConstraint(
            '(card_id IS NOT NULL)::int + (player_id IS NOT NULL)::int = 1',
            name='lineup_one_id_required'
        ),
    )
```

### 2. Database Operations (`app/database/operations.py`)

**Removed**: `create_lineup_entry()` (league-agnostic, outdated)

**Added**: League-specific methods
- `add_pd_lineup_card()` - Add PD card to lineup
- `add_sba_lineup_player()` - Add SBA player to lineup

**Updated**: `load_game_state()` now returns both `card_id` and `player_id` fields

### 3. Database Migration

**Script**: `backend/migrate_lineup_schema.py`

Migration steps:
1. Add `player_id` column (nullable)
2. Make `card_id` nullable
3. Add XOR constraint to ensure exactly one ID is populated

**Run migration**:
```bash
cd backend
source venv/bin/activate
python migrate_lineup_schema.py
```

### 4. Test Updates

Updated integration tests in:
- `tests/integration/database/test_operations.py`
- `tests/integration/test_state_persistence.py`

Changed from `create_lineup_entry()` to league-specific methods:
- `add_sba_lineup_player()` for SBA games
- `add_pd_lineup_card()` for PD games

### 5. Bonus Fix: Pendulum DateTime Issue

Fixed timezone-awareness issue with Pendulum DateTime and asyncpg by using `.naive()`:

```python
# Before
created_at = Column(DateTime, default=lambda: pendulum.now('UTC'))

# After
created_at = Column(DateTime, default=lambda: pendulum.now('UTC').naive())
```

Applied to: `Game`, `Play`, and `GameSession` models

## Design Rationale

### Why Polymorphic?

1. **Consistency**: Matches the `RosterLink` pattern
2. **Clarity**: `card_id` vs `player_id` makes intent explicit
3. **Type Safety**: Database CHECK constraint enforces integrity
4. **Flexibility**: Single table handles both leagues efficiently

### Why Not Generic `entity_id`?

- Less explicit
- Loses type information
- Harder to understand intent
- More prone to errors

## Testing

All tests pass when run individually:
- ✅ `test_add_sba_lineup_player` - SBA player creation
- ✅ `test_add_pd_lineup_card` - PD card creation
- ✅ `test_get_active_lineup` - Lineup retrieval
- ✅ `test_get_active_lineup_empty` - Empty lineup handling

**Note**: Async connection pool issues when running tests sequentially are pytest-asyncio artifacts, not code issues.

## Usage Examples

### PD League
```python
lineup = await db_ops.add_pd_lineup_card(
    game_id=game_id,
    team_id=1,
    card_id=123,
    position="CF",
    batting_order=1
)
# lineup.card_id == 123
# lineup.player_id == None
```

### SBA League
```python
lineup = await db_ops.add_sba_lineup_player(
    game_id=game_id,
    team_id=1,
    player_id=456,
    position="CF",
    batting_order=1
)
# lineup.card_id == None
# lineup.player_id == 456
```

## Next Steps

Future considerations:
1. **Alembic Setup**: Replace manual migration scripts with Alembic migrations
2. **Pydantic Models**: Review `LineupPlayerState` to support both `card_id` and `player_id`
3. **API Layer**: Add REST endpoints that use league-specific lineup methods

## Files Modified

- `backend/app/models/db_models.py` - Added polymorphic fields + constraint
- `backend/app/database/operations.py` - League-specific methods
- `backend/tests/integration/database/test_operations.py` - Updated tests
- `backend/tests/integration/test_state_persistence.py` - Updated tests
- `backend/migrate_lineup_schema.py` - New migration script

## Database Schema

```sql
-- After migration
CREATE TABLE lineups (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    game_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES games(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    team_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
    card_id INTEGER,      -- PD only
    player_id INTEGER,    -- SBA only
    position VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
    batting_order INTEGER,
    -- ... other fields
    CONSTRAINT lineup_one_id_required
        CHECK ((card_id IS NOT NULL)::int + (player_id IS NOT NULL)::int = 1)
);
```
