- Backtesting reports

## 🛠️ Setup Instructions

### 1. **GitHub Secrets Configuration**

Add these secrets to your GitHub repository:

```bash
# Docker Hub
DOCKERHUB_USERNAME=dataen10
DOCKERHUB_TOKEN=your_dockerhub_token

# Slack Notifications
SLACK_WEBHOOK=your_slack_webhook_url

# Code Coverage
CODECOV_TOKEN=your_codecov_token
```

### 2. **Repository Settings**

Enable these features in your GitHub repository:

- **Actions**: Enable GitHub Actions
- **Pages**: Enable GitHub Pages for documentation
- **Security**: Enable Dependabot alerts
- **Branch Protection**: Protect main branch

### 3. **Branch Protection Rules**

Configure branch protection for `main`:

```yaml
# Required status checks
- ci-cd/quality-check
- ci-cd/test
- ci-cd/security

# Required reviews
- Require pull request reviews: 1
- Dismiss stale reviews: true

# Restrictions
- Restrict pushes: true
- Allow force pushes: false
```

## 📊 Pipeline Metrics

### **Quality Gates**

| Metric | Threshold | Action |
|--------|-----------|--------|
| Test Coverage | > 80% | Block merge |
| Security Issues | 0 Critical | Block merge |
| Performance | < 100ms avg | Warning |
| Code Quality | A+ Grade | Block merge |

### **Performance Monitoring**

- **Build Time**: Target < 10 minutes
- **Test Execution**: Target < 5 minutes
- **Deployment Time**: Target < 2 minutes
- **Success Rate**: Target > 95%

## 🔄 Workflow

### **Development Workflow**

1. **Feature Development**
   ```bash
   git checkout -b feature/new-strategy
   # Make changes
   git commit -m "feat: add new trading strategy"
   git push origin feature/new-strategy
   ```

2. **Pull Request**
   - Create PR to `main`
   - CI/CD pipeline runs automatically
   - Code review required
   - All checks must pass

3. **Merge & Deploy**
   - Merge to `main`
   - Automatic Docker image build
   - Push to Docker Hub
   - Update documentation

### **Release Workflow**

1. **Version Bump**
   ```bash
   git tag v1.2.0
   git push origin v1.2.0
   ```

2. **Automated Release**
   - Release workflow triggers
   - Changelog generated
   - Docker image tagged
   - GitHub release created

## 🚨 Troubleshooting

### **Common Issues**

1. **Build Failures**
   ```bash
   # Check logs
   gh run list
   gh run view <run-id>
   
   # Re-run failed jobs
   gh run rerun <run-id>
   ```

2. **Docker Build Issues**
   ```bash
   # Test locally
   docker build -t test .
   docker run test python -c "import agentic_ai_system"
   ```

3. **Test Failures**
   ```bash
   # Run tests locally
   pytest tests/ -v
   
   # Check coverage
   pytest tests/ --cov=agentic_ai_system --cov-report=html
   ```

### **Performance Optimization**

1. **Cache Dependencies**
   ```yaml
   - uses: actions/cache@v3
     with:
       path: ~/.cache/pip
       key: ${{ runner.os }}-pip-${{ hashFiles('**/requirements.txt') }}
   ```

2. **Parallel Jobs**
   - Independent jobs run in parallel
   - Dependency management for sequential jobs
   - Resource optimization
