Test: tradeEarnings Workflow Pattern with Task Dependencies

Objective: Create tasks matching the tradeEarnings workflow and verify dependency structure.

Workflow Pattern

Wave 1 (Parallel):
  ├── news-impact (no deps)
  └── guidance-inventory (no deps)
          │
          ▼
Wave 2:
  └── prediction (blocked by news-impact AND guidance-inventory)
          │
          ▼
Wave 3:
  └── attribution (blocked by prediction)

Instructions

Step 1: Create Tasks

Create these 4 tasks with TaskCreate:

1. Subject: "AAPL-Q1: News Impact Analysis" Description: "Analyze news sentiment and events around AAPL Q1 earnings" ActiveForm: "Analyzing news impact"

2. Subject: "AAPL-Q1: Guidance Inventory Update" Description: "Update cumulative guidance inventory with Q1 data" ActiveForm: "Building guidance inventory"

3. Subject: "AAPL-Q1: Earnings Prediction" Description: "Predict stock direction at T=0 using PIT data" ActiveForm: "Making prediction"

4. Subject: "AAPL-Q1: Earnings Attribution" Description: "Analyze why stock moved after earnings (T+1)" ActiveForm: "Attributing movement"

Step 2: Set Up Dependencies

Using TaskUpdate with addBlockedBy:

• Task 3 (prediction) blocked by tasks 1 AND 2
• Task 4 (attribution) blocked by task 3

Step 3: Verify Structure

Run TaskList and TaskGet for each task to verify:

• Tasks 1 and 2 have NO blockers (can run parallel)
• Task 3 blocked by 1 and 2
• Task 4 blocked by 3

Step 4: Simulate Execution

1. Mark tasks 1 and 2 as in_progress (simulating parallel execution)
2. Mark tasks 1 and 2 as completed
3. Verify task 3 is now unblocked
4. Mark task 3 as in_progress, then completed
5. Verify task 4 is now unblocked
6. Mark task 4 as completed
