fix(deps): Fix ResourceLoader dependency injection for production environments

[xCatG]

Summary

• Fix critical bug where agent creation used FileStorage ResourceLoader in production environments
• Pass injected ResourceLoader from ChatHandler to get_production_agent()
• Add fallback compatibility layer for dev tools that call agent functions directly
• Clean up test code by removing unnecessary patch decorators

Root Cause

The get_production_agent() function was importing and using a hardcoded FileStorage-based ResourceLoader instead of using the properly configured ResourceLoader (GCS/S3) that gets injected through FastAPI's dependency system. This caused 500 errors in beta/prod when trying to read resources from cloud storage.

Solution

• Modified get_production_agent() to accept an optional resource_loader parameter
• Updated ChatHandler._generate_character_response() to pass the injected ResourceLoader
• Added compatibility fallback for dev tools that call the function without dependency injection
• Enhanced logging to track which ResourceLoader implementation is being used

Testing

• All existing unit tests pass with cleaner test code (removed unnecessary patch decorators)
• Ready for beta deployment testing to verify GCS resource loading works correctly

Test Plan

• Deploy to beta environment
• Test chat functionality with demo@cattail-sw.com account
• Verify no 500 errors when creating chat sessions
• Check logs show "Creating agent with GCSStorageBackend"

✅ Strengths

1. Root Cause Analysis & Fix

• Correctly identified the core issue: get_production_agent() was hardcoded to use FileStorage instead of the injected cloud storage
• Clean solution: Added optional resource_loader parameter with proper fallback mechanism
• The fix in handler.py:153 properly passes the injected ResourceLoader to the agent creation

2. Backwards Compatibility

• Smart fallback mechanism in agent.py:68-82 ensures dev tools continue working
• Clear logging distinguishes between injected vs fallback ResourceLoader usage
• ImportError handling prevents breaking existing dev workflows

3. Test Improvements

• Significant cleanup: Removed unnecessary @patch decorators (lines removed: 131 vs 140 added)
• Tests now directly inject mocked ResourceLoader, making them more focused and reliable
• All 20+ unit tests passing confirms the refactoring didn't break existing functionality

4. Code Quality

• Comprehensive logging helps with production debugging
• Type hints maintained throughout
• Clear separation of concerns between handler and agent layers

✅ Technical Analysis

Dependency Injection Pattern (agent.py:68-82):

# Use the injected resource_loader or create a fallback one
if resource_loader is None:
    # Try dependency injection first, then fallback

This is well-architected - follows the dependency inversion principle while maintaining dev compatibility.

Handler Integration (handler.py:153):

agent = await get_production_agent(..., resource_loader=resource_loader)

Proper integration - the injected ResourceLoader from FastAPI now flows through to agent creation.

Storage Backend Usage (dependencies.py:77-85):
The ResourceLoader correctly uses the configured storage backend (GCS/S3 in prod, FileStorage in dev).

⚠️ Minor Observations

1. Duplicate Test Methods

• Lines 181-196 and 215-230 contain identical test methods (test_system_prompt_with_script)
• Lines 198-213 and 232-246 contain identical test methods (test_system_prompt_without_script)
• Consider removing the duplicates in a follow-up cleanup

2. Error Handling

• The fallback mechanism could benefit from more specific exception catching instead of broad ImportError
• Consider logging when fallback is used to help identify misconfiguration

🎯 Verification Plan

Your test plan is solid:

• ✅ Deploy to beta environment
• ✅ Test with demo@cattail-sw.com account
• ✅ Verify no 500 errors when creating chat sessions
• ✅ Check logs show "Creating agent with GCSStorageBackend"

Recommendation: APPROVE ✅

This PR successfully fixes the critical production bug while maintaining backwards compatibility and improving test quality. The dependency injection pattern is correctly implemented and all tests are passing.

The fix ensures production environments will use the proper cloud storage backends (GCS/S3) instead of attempting to read from the local filesystem.
