💡 Verification agent

❓ Verification inconclusive

Critical: Comprehensive testing required for nested sets boundary changes.

These three changes systematically remove the +1 offset from shiftLeftRightAttribute calls, which directly affects tree structure integrity. Given the complexity of nested sets algorithms and the potential for data corruption, please ensure:

  1. Comprehensive test coverage for all affected operations (deletion, cross-tree movement, root promotion)
  2. Edge case testing including adjacent siblings, single children, and boundary nodes
  3. Tree integrity validation after each operation to detect any structural corruption
  4. Backward compatibility verification if this affects existing data

Consider adding automated tree integrity checks in the test suite:

Critical: Implement tree integrity validation and comprehensive tests

No existing tree-validation utilities were found in the codebase. Because removing the +1 offset in shiftLeftRightAttribute directly affects nested-set boundaries, you must:

  • Add a tree-integrity validator (e.g. validateTree() or similar) in src/NestedSetsBehavior.php
  • Write automated tests for all affected operations:
    • Deletion
    • Cross-tree movement
    • Root promotion
  • Include edge-case scenarios:
    • Adjacent siblings
    • Single children
    • First/last boundary nodes
  • Run integrity checks after each operation to detect off-by-one errors
  • Verify backward compatibility against existing data sets

Suggested starting point for adding tests:

public function testTreeIntegrityAfterDeletion()
{
    // Setup a known tree
    // Perform delete operation
    // Call $this->nestedSetsBehavior->validateTree($rootId);
    // Assert no gaps or overlaps in lft/rgt values
}

Please implement these validation utilities and tests before merging.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents 
In src/NestedSetsBehavior.php at line 145, you need to add a tree integrity
validation method, such as validateTree(), that checks for gaps, overlaps, and
correct nested-set boundaries in the tree structure. Implement this validator to
be called after operations like deletion, cross-tree movement, and root
promotion to detect off-by-one errors. Additionally, create comprehensive
automated tests covering these operations and edge cases like adjacent siblings,
single children, and boundary nodes, ensuring backward compatibility with
existing data. The tests should set up known tree states, perform operations,
invoke validateTree(), and assert the tree's structural correctness before
merging.

Thank you for the excellent suggestion regarding tree integrity validation. You're absolutely right that adding a validateTreeIntegrity() method would significantly improve confidence in nested set operations and help detect off-by-one errors that current tests might miss.

However, i'd prefer to keep this PR focused on the specific refactoring of removing the functionally equivalent +1 operations. The integrity validation you're suggesting is a valuable enhancement that deserves its own dedicated PR with proper design, implementation, and comprehensive testing.

I'll create a follow-up issue to track the implementation of:

  • Tree integrity validation method checking for gaps, overlaps, and boundary correctness
  • Integration points after critical operations (deletion, cross-tree movement, root promotion)
  • Comprehensive test coverage for edge cases and boundary conditions

This approach allows us to:

  1. Keep the current PR small and focused
  2. Give proper attention to the validation feature design
  3. Ensure thorough testing of the new validation capabilities

Would you agree this is a reasonable approach?

@terabytesoftw Absolutely, your approach is very reasonable and follows excellent software development practices! 👍

Keeping this PR focused on the specific +1 offset refactoring makes perfect sense. It allows for:

  • Cleaner, more focused code review
  • Easier rollback if issues arise
  • Better commit history and change tracking
  • Proper design attention for the validation feature

I'd be happy to help create the follow-up issue for the tree integrity validation enhancement. Would you like me to create it now with the details we discussed?

Great project management approach!

🧬 Code Graph Analysis Results

Relevant snippets from src/NestedSetsBehavior.php (entire file, lines 1-626)

The entire NestedSetsBehavior.php file is relevant as it defines the nested sets behavior with detailed methods managing tree operations, including insertion, deletion, movement, and querying of nodes in a nested set tree structure. It also includes lifecycle event handlers (beforeInsert, afterInsert, beforeUpdate, afterUpdate, beforeDelete, afterDelete) that maintain tree integrity during ActiveRecord operations.

Key relevant points include:

  • The behavior manages left (lft), right (rgt), depth, and optionally tree attributes for multi-tree support.
  • Operations like appendTo(), prependTo(), insertAfter(), insertBefore(), makeRoot(), and deleteWithChildren() set an internal operation state and target node, then save the owner model to trigger lifecycle events.
  • Lifecycle event handlers (beforeInsert(), afterInsert(), beforeUpdate(), afterUpdate(), beforeDelete(), afterDelete()) perform the actual nested set tree updates, including shifting left/right values and updating depths.
  • Methods like shiftLeftRightAttribute(), moveNode(), and moveNodeAsRoot() handle the complex logic of updating nested set boundaries and depths during node moves.
  • Query methods (children(), parents(), leaves(), next(), prev()) return ActiveQuery instances scoped to the current node and optionally filtered by depth or tree.
  • The behavior supports multi-tree scenarios by applying tree attribute conditions in queries and updates.
  • The behavior enforces restrictions on invalid operations, such as deleting root nodes without children or moving nodes to invalid targets.
  • The internal state (operation and node) is reset after operations complete.

This file is the core implementation of nested set tree management and directly relates to the user comment about adding a validateTreeIntegrity() method to improve confidence in nested set operations and detect off-by-one errors.

Possibly relevant snippets from tests/support/model/Tree.php (lines 31-38)

public function isTransactional($operation): bool
{
    if ($operation === ActiveRecord::OP_DELETE) {
        return false;
    }

    return parent::isTransactional($operation);
}

This snippet shows a model override for transactional behavior on delete operations, which may be relevant for understanding how deletions are handled in tests related to nested sets.

Possibly relevant snippets from tests/support/model/MultipleTree.php (lines 55-58)

public static function find(): MultipleTreeQuery
{
    return new MultipleTreeQuery(static::class);
}

This snippet shows a model method returning a custom query class, possibly related to multi-tree support in nested sets, which is relevant for understanding tree attribute handling.

Possibly relevant snippets from tests/NestedSetsBehaviorTest.php (lines 1607-1615)

public static function primaryKey(): array
{
    return [];
}

public function makeRoot(): bool
{
    return parent::makeRoot();
}

These test model overrides may be relevant for testing root node creation and primary key handling in nested sets.

Possibly relevant snippets from src/NestedSetsQueryBehavior.php (lines 59-82 and 104-117)

public function leaves(): ActiveQuery
{
    $class = $this->getOwner()->modelClass;

    $model = new $class();

    $db = $model::getDb();

    $columns = [$model->leftAttribute => SORT_ASC];

    if ($model->treeAttribute !== false) {
        $columns = [$model->treeAttribute => SORT_ASC] + $columns;
    }

    $this->getOwner()
        ->andWhere(
            [$model->rightAttribute => new Expression(
                $db->quoteColumnName($model->leftAttribute) . '+ 1',
            )],
        )
        ->addOrderBy($columns);

    return $this->getOwner();
}
public function roots(): ActiveQuery
{
    $class = $this->getOwner()->modelClass;
    $model = new $class();
    $sortAttribute = $model::primaryKey()[0] ?? null;

    $activeQuery = $this->getOwner()->andWhere([$model->leftAttribute => 1]);

    if ($sortAttribute !== null) {
        $activeQuery->addOrderBy([$sortAttribute => SORT_ASC]);
    }

    return $activeQuery;
}

These methods provide query behaviors for leaves and roots in nested sets, which relate to tree integrity and querying.

Possibly relevant snippets from tests/TestCase.php (lines 40-43)

public function getDb(): Connection
{
    return Yii::$app->getDb();
}

This snippet shows how the test environment accesses the database connection, relevant for understanding test setup and execution context.
