## 5. Integration with SwarmCare

### 5.1 SwarmCare Framework Integration

The explainability system is fully integrated with the SwarmCare agent framework:

```python
from code.implementation import Phase16Implementation

# Initialize Phase 16 with full framework support
phase16 = Phase16Implementation()

# Execute with adaptive feedback loop
task = {
    "goal": "Generate explanations for high-risk patient cohort",
    "phase_id": 16,
    "parameters": {
        "model_type": "clinical_decision",
        "sample_count": 1000,
        "methods": ["shap", "lime", "decision"]
    }
}

# Execute with automatic verification and retry
result = phase16.execute(task)

if result.success:
    print(f"✅ Task completed successfully")
    print(f"   Iterations: {result.iterations}")
    print(f"   Duration: {result.total_duration_seconds:.2f}s")
    print(f"   Output: {result.output['summary']}")
else:
    print(f"❌ Task failed: {result.error}")
```

### 5.2 Guardrails Integration

All explanations are protected by 7-layer guardrails:

```python
from code.implementation import Phase16Implementation

phase16 = Phase16Implementation()

# Guardrails are automatically applied
if hasattr(phase16, 'guardrails'):
    # Layer 1: Medical Safety
    # Layer 2: HIPAA Compliance
    # Layer 3: Bias Detection
    # Layer 4: Output Validation
    # Layer 5: Rate Limiting
    # Layer 6: Audit Logging
    # Layer 7: Emergency Override

    print("✅ 7-layer guardrails active")
    print(f"   Medical safety: {phase16.guardrails.medical_safety_enabled}")
    print(f"   HIPAA compliance: {phase16.guardrails.hipaa_enabled}")
    print(f"   Bias detection: {phase16.guardrails.bias_detection_enabled}")
```

### 5.3 Context Management

Efficient context management for large-scale explanations:

```python
from code.implementation import Phase16Implementation

phase16 = Phase16Implementation()

if hasattr(phase16, 'context'):
    # Automatic context compaction at 75% capacity
    # Keeps 15 most recent items
    # Maximum 100,000 tokens

    print("✅ Context manager configured")
    print(f"   Max tokens: {phase16.context.max_tokens}")
    print(f"   Compact threshold: {phase16.context.compact_threshold}")
    print(f"   Keep recent: {phase16.context.keep_recent}")
```

### 5.4 Subagent Orchestration

Parallel explanation generation:

```python
from code.implementation import Phase16Implementation

phase16 = Phase16Implementation()

if hasattr(phase16, 'orchestrator'):
    # Up to 5 parallel subagents
    # Fault-tolerant execution
    # Automatic load balancing

    print("✅ Subagent orchestration configured")
    print(f"   Max parallel: {phase16.orchestrator.max_parallel}")

    # Example: Parallel explanation generation
    tasks = [
        {"method": "shap", "sample_count": 100},
        {"method": "lime", "sample_count": 100},
        {"method": "attention", "sample_count": 50},
        {"method": "decision", "sample_count": 75}
    ]

    # All tasks execute in parallel
    results = phase16.orchestrator.execute_parallel(tasks)
```

## 6. Troubleshooting Guide

### 6.1 Common Issues

#### Issue 1: ImportError - Framework not available

**Error:**
```
ImportError: No module named 'multi_layer_system'
```

**Solution:**
```bash
# Install framework dependencies
pip install -e ../../../guardrails
pip install -e ../../../agent_framework

# Verify installation
python -c "from code.implementation import FRAMEWORK_AVAILABLE; print(FRAMEWORK_AVAILABLE)"
```

**Note:** Framework is optional. Core explainability functions work without it.

#### Issue 2: Slow SHAP computation

**Symptom:** SHAP explanations take >1 second per sample.

**Solutions:**
```python
# Option 1: Use approximate SHAP
shap = SHAPExplainer()
# TODO: Implement approximate SHAP (planned for v1.1)

# Option 2: Reduce background dataset size
# TODO: Add background_sample_size parameter (planned for v1.1)

# Option 3: Use GPU acceleration
import os
os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = '0'  # Use GPU 0

# Option 4: Batch processing
# Generate multiple explanations at once for better efficiency
shap_result = shap.generate_explanations("clinical_decision", sample_count=100)
```

#### Issue 3: LIME instability

**Symptom:** LIME explanations vary significantly across runs.

**Solutions:**
```python
# Option 1: Increase sampling size (default: 5000)
# TODO: Add num_samples parameter (planned for v1.1)

# Option 2: Fix random seed
import numpy as np
np.random.seed(42)

# Option 3: Use ensemble LIME (average multiple runs)
lime = LIMEExplainer()
num_runs = 5
all_explanations = []

for _ in range(num_runs):
    result = lime.generate_explanations("diagnosis_prediction", sample_count=1)
    all_explanations.append(result['lime_explanations'][0])

# Average explanations
# TODO: Implement explanation averaging utility (planned for v1.1)
```

#### Issue 4: Memory errors with large batches

**Error:**
```
MemoryError: Unable to allocate array with shape...
```

**Solutions:**
```python
# Option 1: Reduce batch size
total_samples = 10000
batch_size = 100  # Reduce from 1000 to 100

for i in range(0, total_samples, batch_size):
    batch_result = shap.generate_explanations(
        "clinical_decision",
        sample_count=batch_size
    )
    # Process batch_result immediately

# Option 2: Use generators (streaming processing)
# TODO: Implement streaming API (planned for v1.2)

# Option 3: Clear memory between batches
import gc
gc.collect()
```

#### Issue 5: Attention visualization not showing patterns

**Symptom:** All attention heads look similar or random.

**Solutions:**
```python
# Check attention entropy (should be in range 1.5-3.0)
attention = AttentionVisualizer()
result = attention.generate_visualizations("transformer_clinical", sample_count=10)

for vis in result['visualizations']:
    for head in vis['attention_weights']:
        print(f"Head {head['head_id']}: entropy={head['entropy']:.2f}")

# If entropy is too high (>3.5), model may need retraining
# If entropy is too low (<1.0), model may be overfitting

# Solution: Check model architecture and training
```

### 6.2 Performance Debugging

```python
import time
import logging

# Enable detailed logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

# Measure computation time
shap = SHAPExplainer()

start = time.time()
result = shap.generate_explanations("clinical_decision", sample_count=100)
duration = time.time() - start

print(f"Total time: {duration:.2f}s")
print(f"Per-sample time: {duration/100*1000:.1f}ms")
print(f"Expected time: {result['avg_time']*1000:.1f}ms")

if duration/100 > result['avg_time'] * 2:
    print("⚠️ Performance issue detected. Check:")
    print("  - CPU/GPU utilization")
    print("  - Memory availability")
    print("  - Competing processes")
```

### 6.3 Validation Issues

```python
# Check explanation quality
from code.implementation import Phase16Implementation

phase16 = Phase16Implementation()

# Run validation tests
task = {"goal": "Validate explanations", "phase_id": 16}
result = phase16.execute(task)

if not result.success:
    print(f"❌ Validation failed: {result.error}")

    # Check specific components
    if hasattr(phase16, 'verifier'):
        verification = phase16.verifier.verify_output(
            output=result.output,
            context={"input": task.get("goal", ""), "phase_id": 16},
            output_type="data",
            task={"expected_type": "dict", "required_fields": ["phase_id", "status"]}
        )
        print(f"Verification details: {verification}")
```
