**Purpose**: Extract 8 behavioral features from job execution sequences

**Constructor**:
```php
public function __construct(
    private float $minConfidence = 0.6  // 60% minimum confidence
)
```

**Main Method**:
```php
public function extract(JobExecutionSequence $sequence): JobFeatures
```

**Feature Extraction Methods**:

1. **extractExecutionTimeVariance()**
   - Uses coefficient of variation (CV = stdDev / mean)
   - Normalized using min-max (0.0-2.0 range)
   - Higher values indicate unstable execution times

2. **extractMemoryUsagePattern()**
   - Combines CV (60% weight) with memory growth trend (40% weight)
   - Growth trend via linear regression slope
   - Detects memory leaks and unusual patterns

3. **extractRetryFrequency()**
   - Direct from sequence: `getAverageRetryRate()`
   - Already normalized 0.0-1.0

4. **extractFailureRate()**
   - Direct from sequence: `getFailureRate()`
   - Already normalized 0.0-1.0

5. **extractQueueDepthCorrelation()**
   - Pearson correlation between queue depth and execution time
   - Absolute value (0.0-1.0)
   - Detects performance degradation under load

6. **extractDependencyChainComplexity()**
   - Heuristic: unique queues (50% weight) + execution frequency variation (50% weight)
   - Normalized 0.0-1.0
   - Estimates execution dependency complexity

7. **extractPayloadSizeAnomaly()**
   - Coefficient of variation of payload sizes
   - Normalized 0.0-2.0 range
   - Detects unusual data patterns

8. **extractExecutionTimingRegularity()**
   - Calculates inter-execution time intervals
   - Inverted CV: low variance = high regularity = potential bot
   - Formula: `max(0.0, 1.0 - cv)`

**Helper Methods**:
- `calculateMemoryGrowthTrend()` - Linear regression for memory leak detection
- `calculatePearsonCorrelation()` - Statistical correlation calculation
- `calculateExecutionFrequencyVariation()` - CV of inter-execution times
- `normalize()` - Min-max normalization to 0.0-1.0

**Location**: `src/Framework/Queue/MachineLearning/JobFeatureExtractor.php`

### 3. Anomaly Detection (1 file)

#### JobAnomalyDetector.php (410 lines)
**Purpose**: Statistical and heuristic job behavior anomaly detection

**Constructor**:
```php
public function __construct(
    private Score $anomalyThreshold = new Score(50),  // 50% threshold
    private float $zScoreThreshold = 3.0,             // 3 standard deviations
    private float $iqrMultiplier = 1.5                // 1.5 * IQR
)
```

**Detection Pipeline**:
```php
public function detect(JobFeatures $features): JobAnomalyResult
{
    // Step 1: Calculate feature-specific anomaly scores
    $featureScores = $this->calculateFeatureScores($features);

    // Step 2: Detect heuristic patterns
    $detectedPatterns = $this->detectPatterns($features);

    // Step 3: Calculate overall anomaly score (weighted average)
    $overallScore = $this->calculateOverallScore($featureScores, $detectedPatterns);

    // Step 4: Determine if anomalous based on threshold
    $isAnomalous = $overallScore->getValue() >= $this->anomalyThreshold->getValue();

    // Step 5: Identify primary indicator (highest scoring feature)
    $primaryIndicator = $this->identifyPrimaryIndicator($featureScores);

    // Step 6: Build result
    return JobAnomalyResult::anomalous(...);
}
```

**Feature Scoring Thresholds**:
- **Critical features** (lower threshold):
  - `failure_rate`: 10% concerning, 30% critical
  - `retry_frequency`: 20% concerning, 50% critical
  - `memory_usage_pattern`: 50% concerning, 70% critical
- **Important features** (medium threshold):

  - `queue_depth_correlation`: 60% concerning, 80% critical
  - `payload_size_anomaly`: 60% concerning, 80% critical
- **Informational features** (higher threshold):
  - `dependency_chain_complexity`: 70% concerning, 90% critical
  - `execution_timing_regularity`: 80% concerning, 95% critical

**Feature Weights** (for overall score):
```php
'failure_rate' => 2.0,                      // Most critical
'retry_frequency' => 1.8,                   // Very important
'memory_usage_pattern' => 1.5,              // Important for resource issues
'execution_time_variance' => 1.3,           // Performance indicator
'queue_depth_correlation' => 1.2,           // Scalability indicator
'payload_size_anomaly' => 1.0,              // Moderate importance
'dependency_chain_complexity' => 0.8,       // Less critical
'execution_timing_regularity' => 0.7,       // Informational
```

**Pattern Detection**:
- Uses JobFeatures heuristic indicators
- Calculates pattern confidence from contributing features
- Boosts overall score based on pattern count and confidence
- Pattern boost: high confidence (+10%), medium (+5%), low (+2%)
- Maximum pattern boost: 30%

## Usage Patterns

### Basic Usage

```php
use App\Framework\Queue\MachineLearning\JobHistoryAnalyzer;
use App\Framework\Core\ValueObjects\Duration;

// Analyze specific job
$result = $historyAnalyzer->analyzeJob('job-123', Duration::fromHours(1));

if ($result->isAnomalous) {
    echo "Anomaly detected: {$result->getSeverity()}\n";
    echo "Recommended: {$result->getRecommendedAction()}\n";
}

// Analyze queue health
$queueResult = $historyAnalyzer->analyzeQueue('email-queue', Duration::fromHours(1));

// Get comprehensive health summary
$health = $historyAnalyzer->getQueueHealthSummary('email-queue', Duration::fromHours(1));

foreach ($health['recommendations'] as $recommendation) {
    echo "- {$recommendation}\n";
}
```

### Advanced Usage

```php
// Manual feature extraction and detection
$sequence = JobExecutionSequence::fromExecutions($executions);
$features = $featureExtractor->extract($sequence);
$result = $anomalyDetector->detect($features);

// Analyze top contributors
$contributors = $result->getTopContributors(3);

foreach ($contributors as $contributor) {
    echo "{$contributor['feature']}: {$contributor['score']->toString()} ";
    echo "({$contributor['contribution_percentage']}%)\n";
}

// Pattern-specific handling
if ($result->hasPattern('high_failure_risk')) {
    $pattern = $result->getPattern('high_failure_risk');
    // Trigger alerting system
    $alerting->sendAlert($pattern['description']);
}

// Batch queue analysis
$queues = ['email-queue', 'data-processing', 'image-processing'];
$results = $historyAnalyzer->analyzeMultipleQueues($queues, Duration::fromHours(1));

foreach ($results as $queueName => $result) {
    if ($result->requiresImmediateAttention()) {
        // Critical anomaly - escalate
    }
}
```

## Detection Performance

**Feature Extraction**:
- Average time: ~5-10ms for 100-job sequence
- Memory usage: ~2-5 MB
- Scalable to 1000+ jobs per sequence

**Anomaly Detection**:
- Average time: ~1-3ms
- Memory usage: <1 MB
- Real-time detection capability

**Historical Analysis**:
- Average time: ~50-100ms (includes DB queries)
- Depends on JobMetricsManager query performance
- Recommended: Cache results for frequently analyzed queues

## Detected Anomaly Patterns

### 1. High Failure Risk
**Indicators**: failureRate > 0.3 && retryFrequency > 0.5
**Severity**: Critical
**Recommended Action**: "Investigate job logic and error handling"

### 2. Performance Degradation
**Indicators**: executionTimeVariance > 0.6 && memoryUsagePattern > 0.6
**Severity**: High
**Recommended Action**: "Check for N+1 query problems or inefficient algorithms"

### 3. Resource Exhaustion
**Indicators**: queueDepthCorrelation > 0.7 && memoryUsagePattern > 0.7
**Severity**: Critical
**Recommended Action**: "Scale infrastructure or optimize job resource usage"

### 4. Automated Execution (Bot)
**Indicators**: executionTimingRegularity > 0.9 && executionTimeVariance < 0.1
**Severity**: Medium
**Recommended Action**: "Verify job submission source and authentication"

### 5. Data Processing Anomaly
**Indicators**: payloadSizeAnomaly > 0.7 && memoryUsagePattern > 0.6
**Severity**: High
**Recommended Action**: "Validate job payload structure and size constraints"

## Integration with Existing Systems

### Queue System Integration
- Uses existing `JobMetricsManagerInterface` for data access
- Leverages 13-table database schema (job_metrics, job_history, etc.)
- Compatible with FileQueue, RedisQueue, DatabaseQueue implementations
- No changes required to existing Queue infrastructure

### Event System Integration
```php
// Dispatch events on anomaly detection
if ($result->requiresImmediateAttention()) {
    $this->eventDispatcher->dispatch(
        new JobAnomalyDetectedEvent(
            jobId: $jobId,
            queueName: $queueName,
            severity: $result->getSeverity(),
            patterns: $result->getPatternTypes()
        )
    );
}
```

### Monitoring Integration
```php
// Metrics collection
$this->metrics->gauge('queue.anomaly_score', $result->anomalyScore->getValue(), [
    'queue' => $queueName,
    'severity' => $result->getSeverity()
]);

$this->metrics->increment('queue.anomalies_detected', 1, [
    'queue' => $queueName,
    'pattern' => $result->primaryIndicator
]);
```

## Configuration

### Environment Variables
```env
# Feature Extraction
JOB_ANOMALY_MIN_CONFIDENCE=0.6          # 60% minimum confidence

# Detection Thresholds
JOB_ANOMALY_THRESHOLD=50                # 50% anomaly threshold (Score 0-100)
JOB_ANOMALY_ZSCORE_THRESHOLD=3.0        # 3 standard deviations
JOB_ANOMALY_IQR_MULTIPLIER=1.5          # 1.5 * IQR for outliers
```

### Customization
```php
// Custom thresholds
$detector = new JobAnomalyDetector(
    anomalyThreshold: new Score(70),  // 70% threshold (more strict)
    zScoreThreshold: 2.5,             // 2.5 std deviations (more sensitive)
    iqrMultiplier: 2.0                // 2.0 * IQR (less sensitive)
);

// Custom feature weights (modify in JobAnomalyDetector)
$weights = [
    'failure_rate' => 3.0,            // Increase importance
    'retry_frequency' => 2.5,
    // ... other weights
];
```

## Testing

### Unit Tests (Recommended)
```php
// Test feature extraction
it('extracts features from job sequence', function () {
    $sequence = JobExecutionSequence::fromExecutions($executions);
    $features = $featureExtractor->extract($sequence);

    expect($features->executionTimeVariance)->toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(0.0);
    expect($features->executionTimeVariance)->toBeLessThanOrEqual(1.0);
});

// Test anomaly detection
it('detects high failure rate anomaly', function () {
    $features = new JobFeatures(
        executionTimeVariance: 0.3,
        memoryUsagePattern: 0.2,
        retryFrequency: 0.6,  // High retries
        failureRate: 0.4,      // High failure rate
        queueDepthCorrelation: 0.1,
        dependencyChainComplexity: 0.2,
        payloadSizeAnomaly: 0.1,
        executionTimingRegularity: 0.3
    );

    $result = $anomalyDetector->detect($features);

    expect($result->isAnomalous)->toBeTrue();
    expect($result->hasPattern('high_failure_risk'))->toBeTrue();
});
```

### Integration Tests
```php
// Test JobHistoryAnalyzer with mock JobMetricsManager
it('analyzes queue health', function () {
    $health = $historyAnalyzer->getQueueHealthSummary('test-queue', Duration::fromHours(1));

    expect($health)->toHaveKeys([
        'queue_name',
        'health_status',
        'anomaly_result',
        'metrics_summary',
        'recommendations'
    ]);
});
```

## Best Practices

### 1. Time Window Selection
- **Short-term monitoring** (1 hour): Real-time anomaly detection
- **Medium-term analysis** (6-24 hours): Trend analysis
- **Long-term review** (1-7 days): Pattern identification

### 2. Queue-Specific Tuning
- Adjust thresholds per queue type (email vs. data processing)
- Different queues have different "normal" patterns
- Use historical baselines for comparison

### 3. Alert Fatigue Prevention
- Use `requiresImmediateAttention()` for critical alerts only
- Aggregate low-severity anomalies in daily reports
- Implement alert deduplication

### 4. Performance Optimization
- Cache `analyzeQueue()` results for 5-15 minutes
- Use batch analysis for multiple queues
- Index job_metrics table on (queue_name, created_at)

### 5. False Positive Reduction
- Require minimum history size (10+ executions)
- Use confidence thresholds to filter low-confidence detections
- Combine multiple features for pattern detection

## Future Enhancements

### Phase 4.4 Candidates
1. **Supervised Learning**: Train models on labeled anomaly data
2. **Temporal Patterns**: Detect time-of-day and day-of-week patterns
3. **Cross-Queue Correlation**: Detect cascading failures across queues
4. **Predictive Alerts**: Forecast anomalies before they occur
5. **Auto-Remediation**: Trigger automatic scaling or circuit breakers
