# N-ary Boolean Conditions Template
# Demonstrates using 3+ conditions with and/or operators
#
# This is a PARTIAL template - integrate into a complete agent file
#
# ★ KEY CONCEPTS:
#
#   N-ary AND: All conditions must be true
#   N-ary OR:  At least one condition must be true
#   Grouping:  Use () for complex expressions
#
# ★ Supported Contexts:
#   - if statements in before_reasoning/after_reasoning
#   - available when clauses on actions
#
# ★ Common Mistake:
#   DO NOT nest if statements. Use N-ary and/or instead.
#   ❌ if a: if b: if c: (nested - INVALID)
#   ✅ if a and b and c:   (flat - CORRECT)

# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
# PATTERN 1: Three+ AND conditions in lifecycle
# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

# Example: Require multiple authentication checks
subagent secure_action:
	label: "Secure Action"
	description: "Performs security-sensitive operations"

	before_reasoning:
		# All three conditions must be true
		if @variables.is_authenticated and @variables.has_permission and @variables.session_valid:
			transition to @subagent.authorized_action
		# Otherwise stay in this subagent

	reasoning:
		instructions: ->
			| User needs to authenticate before proceeding.

# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
# PATTERN 2: Three+ OR conditions in lifecycle
# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

# Example: Any elevated role gets access
subagent admin_panel:
	label: "Admin Panel"
	description: "Administrative features"

	before_reasoning:
		# Any one of these roles grants access
		if @variables.is_admin or @variables.is_moderator or @variables.is_superuser:
			transition to @subagent.admin_features
		# Non-admins redirected
		transition to @subagent.access_denied

# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
# PATTERN 3: N-ary conditions in available when
# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

subagent order_management:
	label: "Order Management"
	description: "Handles order operations"

	reasoning:
		instructions: ->
			| Help the customer with their order.
		actions:
			# Action available only when ALL conditions met
			process_return: @actions.handle_return
				description: "Process a return request"
				available when @variables.order_exists == True and @variables.within_return_window == True and @variables.item_eligible == True

			# Action available when ANY premium tier matches
			use_priority: @actions.priority_service
				description: "Use priority service queue"
				available when @variables.tier == "gold" or @variables.tier == "platinum" or @variables.tier == "enterprise"

			# Mixed: specific product AND any valid status
			expedite: @actions.expedite_order
				description: "Expedite the current order"
				available when @variables.product_type == "perishable" and (@variables.status == "pending" or @variables.status == "processing")

# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
# PATTERN 4: Complex grouped conditions
# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

subagent smart_routing:
	label: "Smart Routing"
	description: "Routes based on complex criteria"

	before_reasoning:
		# Premium with any product type OR standard with warranty
		if (@variables.tier == "premium" and @variables.product_type != None) or (@variables.tier == "standard" and @variables.has_warranty == True):
			transition to @subagent.priority_support

# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
# ANTI-PATTERNS - DO NOT USE
# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

# ❌ WRONG - Nested if statements (causes "Missing required element" error)
# before_reasoning:
#    if @variables.a == True:
#       if @variables.b == True:
#          if @variables.c == True:
#             transition to @subagent.x

# ✅ CORRECT - Flat N-ary condition
# before_reasoning:
#    if @variables.a == True and @variables.b == True and @variables.c == True:
#       transition to @subagent.x
