/** * Status Cycling Detector * * This module identifies patterns of status cycling in issue workflows, where issues repeatedly * move back and forth between the same statuses. It analyzes the transition history to detect * when issues are caught in loops between states, which often indicates process inefficiencies, * unclear requirements, or quality issues. By identifying these patterns, teams can address * underlying problems in their workflow, improve process stability, and reduce wasted effort. */ import { extractStatusTransitions } from './extractStatusTransitions' import type { JiraIssue } from '../../../types/issue.types' /** * Detects status cycling (revisiting previous statuses) * @param issue The Jira issue to analyze * @returns Object containing status cycling statistics */ export function detectStatusCycling(issue: JiraIssue): { count: Record<string, number> totalRevisits: number } { const transitions = extractStatusTransitions(issue) // Initialize counters const visitedStatuses = new Set<string>() const revisitCounts: Record<string, number> = {} let totalRevisits = 0 // Track status visits for (const transition of transitions) { const status = transition.toStatus if (status) { // If we've seen this status before, it's a revisit if (visitedStatuses.has(status)) { revisitCounts[status] = (revisitCounts[status] || 0) + 1 totalRevisits++ } else { // First visit to this status visitedStatuses.add(status) revisitCounts[status] = 0 } } } return { count: revisitCounts, totalRevisits, } }
