## Implementation Patterns
### Dependency Injection Pattern
All services use NestJS dependency injection with interface-based repositories:
```typescript
@Injectable()
export class ExampleService {
  constructor(
    @Inject('IWorkflowExecutionRepository')
    private readonly workflowExecutionRepository: IWorkflowExecutionRepository,
    private readonly logger: Logger,
  ) {}
}
```
### Module Configuration
Repository providers are configured in `workflow-rules.module.ts`:
```typescript
@Module({
  providers: [
    {
      provide: 'IWorkflowExecutionRepository',
      useClass: WorkflowExecutionRepository,
    },
    {
      provide: 'IStepProgressRepository',
      useClass: StepProgressRepository,
    },
    // ... additional repository providers
  ],
  exports: [
    'IWorkflowExecutionRepository',
    'IStepProgressRepository',
    // ... repository interface exports
  ],
})
export class WorkflowRulesModule {}
```
### Error Handling Pattern
All repositories implement comprehensive error handling:
```typescript
async findById(id: string): Promise<WorkflowExecution | null> {
  try {
    const execution = await this.prisma.workflowExecution.findUnique({
      where: { id },
    });
    this.logger.log(`Retrieved execution: ${id}`);
    return execution;
  } catch (error) {
    this.logger.error(`Failed to find execution by ID: ${id}`, error);
    throw error;
  }
}
```
### Transaction Support Pattern
Repositories support transactions for complex operations:
```typescript
async complexOperation(
  data: ComplexOperationData,
  tx?: PrismaTransaction,
): Promise<ComplexOperationResult> {
  const prisma = tx || this.prisma;
  
  try {
    // Transactional operations
    const result = await prisma.workflowExecution.create({
      data: data.executionData,
    });
    
    await prisma.workflowStepProgress.create({
      data: data.progressData,
    });
    
    return result;
  } catch (error) {
    this.logger.error('Complex operation failed', error);
    throw error;
  }
}
```
## Type Safety Implementation
### Comprehensive Type Definitions
Each repository has dedicated type files with comprehensive interfaces:
```typescript
// workflow-execution.types.ts
export interface WorkflowExecutionWithRelations extends WorkflowExecution {
  task: Task & {
    subtasks: Subtask[];
    research: Research[];
  };
  stepProgress: (WorkflowStepProgress & {
    step: WorkflowStep & {
      role: WorkflowRole;
    };
  })[];
}
export interface CreateWorkflowExecutionData {
  taskId: number;
  currentRoleId: string;
  executionMode: ExecutionMode;
  executionContext: Json;
  // ... additional properties
}
```
### Interface Compliance
All repository implementations strictly adhere to their interface contracts:
```typescript
export class WorkflowExecutionRepository implements IWorkflowExecutionRepository {
  // Implementation must match interface exactly
  async findById(id: string, include?: WorkflowExecutionIncludeOptions): Promise<WorkflowExecutionWithRelations | null> {
    // Type-safe implementation
  }
}
```
## Performance Considerations
### Query Optimization
Repositories implement efficient query patterns:
- Proper use of Prisma includes/selects
- Indexed field queries
- Optimized ordering and pagination
- Minimal data fetching strategies
### Memory Management
- Repository instances are singleton through NestJS DI
- Proper cleanup of resources
- Efficient include patterns
- Connection pooling through Prisma
## Testing Strategy
### Repository Testing
Repositories support comprehensive testing with mock patterns:
```typescript
const mockWorkflowExecutionRepository = createMock<IWorkflowExecutionRepository>();
beforeEach(async () => {
  const module: TestingModule = await Test.createTestingModule({
    providers: [
      ServiceUnderTest,
      {
        provide: 'IWorkflowExecutionRepository',
        useValue: mockWorkflowExecutionRepository,
      },
    ],
  }).compile();
});
```
