glm-5.1 131e3e929b Decompose architecture into 28 atomic implementation tasks
Break the @alkdev/taskgraph architecture specs into dependency-ordered
implementation tasks across 8 component directories: setup, schema,
error, graph, analysis, cost-benefit, frontmatter, api, and review.
Each task has clear acceptance criteria referencing specific architecture
docs. Three review tasks serve as quality gates at critical junction
points (schemas-and-errors, graph-complete, complete-library). The
dependency graph is validated acyclic with 9 topological levels enabling
significant parallelism across independent work streams.

graph/queries Implement TaskGraph query methods (hasCycles, findCycles, topologicalOrder, dependencies, dependents, taskCount, getTask) pending
graph/taskgraph-class
moderate medium component implementation

Description

Implement query methods in src/graph/queries.ts and integrate on TaskGraph. The findCycles implementation requires a custom 3-color DFS since graphology-components only gives SCCs, not cycle paths.

Per errors-validation.md:

  • hasCycles() returns boolean (uses graphology-dag or graphology-components for fast check)
  • findCycles() returns string[][] — each inner array is an ordered cycle path
  • topologicalOrder() throws CircularDependencyError with cycles populated when graph is cyclic (per ADR-003)

Acceptance Criteria

  • hasCycles(): boolean — uses graphology-dag.hasCycle() or graphology-components SCC check as fast pre-check
  • findCycles(): string[][]:
    • Uses stronglyConnectedComponents() as pre-check: if zero multi-node SCCs and no self-loops, skip DFS
    • Custom 3-color DFS (WHITE/GREY/BLACK) to extract cycle paths
    • Returns one representative cycle per back edge, not exhaustive enumeration
    • Each inner array is an ordered node sequence where last node has edge back to first
  • topologicalOrder(): string[]:
    • Uses graphology-dag.topologicalSort() for the actual sort
    • Throws CircularDependencyError (with cycles from findCycles()) when graph is cyclic
    • Returns string[] of task IDs in prerequisite→dependent order
  • dependencies(taskId: string): string[] — returns prerequisite task IDs (inNeighbors). Throws TaskNotFoundError if ID doesn't exist.
  • dependents(taskId: string): string[] — returns dependent task IDs (outNeighbors). Throws TaskNotFoundError if ID doesn't exist.
  • taskCount(): number — returns number of nodes
  • getTask(taskId: string): TaskGraphNodeAttributes | undefined — returns node attributes or undefined
  • Unit tests: cycle detection on known cyclic/acyclic graphs, topologicalOrder on DAG, topologicalOrder throws on cyclic graph, dependency/dependent queries
