# Implementation Plan (Version 4.3)
|
||||
# Draft Implementation Plan (Version 4.3)
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
|
||||
Make processing evidence precise, append-only, secret-safe, and exportable while preserving every existing record and creating a provider-neutral home for future OCR/layout artifacts.
|
||||
Prepare a safe implementation path for Source page reordering and constrained application settings. This plan remains provisional until the V4.3 scope-freeze decisions are resolved.
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Principles
|
||||
## Planning Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
- Implement the [Digital Evidence and AI Processing Provenance invariant](../invariant/ai_evidence_and_provenance.md), not a provider-specific approximation of it.
|
||||
- Capture transport evidence before SDK parsing.
|
||||
- Keep exact evidence separate from parsed and normalized representations.
|
||||
- Prefer additive schema evolution and explicit compatibility behavior.
|
||||
- Reference source content by digest rather than duplicating it in request JSON.
|
||||
- Use allowlists for safe metadata capture.
|
||||
- Keep persistence and evidence semantics behind service boundaries.
|
||||
- Do not change the default model until a representative benchmark supports that decision.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current-State Gaps
|
||||
|
||||
| Current behavior | Gap to close |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| `Source` stores original file path, digest, and size. | Media type and image/page geometry used for an execution are not frozen with that execution. |
|
||||
| `Job` stores prompt text/hash, requested model after resolution, temperature, and `top_p`. | The complete effective request structure, omitted-versus-explicit parameter state, routing constraints, and software versions are not frozen. |
|
||||
| `JobSource.raw_api_response` stores `model_dump()` output from the OpenRouter SDK. | The exact HTTP body can be normalized by OpenRouter and filtered again by the SDK before persistence. |
|
||||
| `JobSource.ai_metadata` stores finish reason and basic token counts. | Detailed accounting remains only in the SDK snapshot and is not a substitute for exact evidence. |
|
||||
| Provider exceptions become application errors. | Safe HTTP error bodies, statuses, headers, and no-response distinctions are not persisted. |
|
||||
| Worker logs elapsed time. | Execution duration is not stored on `JobSource`. |
|
||||
| Source Detail displays AI metadata and the SDK snapshot. | The UI does not identify evidence layers or expose request/transport/software provenance. |
|
||||
| No generic processing-artifact model exists. | Future OCR geometry would require ad hoc provider fields or an unrelated schema. |
|
||||
- V4, V4.1, and V4.2 remain the behavioral baseline.
|
||||
- Reordering must be atomic and service-owned.
|
||||
- Settings must use explicit domain operations rather than direct database, environment-file, or arbitrary filesystem access from UI pages.
|
||||
- Prompt changes must preserve historical Job provenance and use a defined safe-write policy.
|
||||
|
||||
## Expected Project Impact
|
||||
|
||||
| Area | Expected impact |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| Database models and upgrades | Add execution-specification, transport-evidence, timing, software-context, and generic artifact storage without removing existing columns. |
|
||||
| OpenRouter adapter | Introduce a transport boundary that can capture exact body/status/safe headers before typed SDK parsing, or use supported SDK hooks that expose the unparsed response reliably. |
|
||||
| Provider contract | Return structured evidence for success and failure without leaking provider-specific transport concerns into workflow orchestration. |
|
||||
| Source and workflow services | Persist one append-only execution outcome and its artifacts transactionally; retain compatibility projections. |
|
||||
| UI | Label and inspect evidence layers; export safe evidence packages through service operations. |
|
||||
| Benchmarking | Add a private manifest and repeatable evaluator using the literal-transcription methodology. |
|
||||
| Tests and documentation | Add compatibility, capture, security, integrity, export, and benchmark-scoring coverage; correct overstated V4 evidence language. |
|
||||
| Sources service | Add validated, transactional set-based page reordering. |
|
||||
| Documents/Sources UI | Add a reorder entry point and interaction for one Document. |
|
||||
| Documents service | Expand controlled Document Type maintenance operations. |
|
||||
| People service | Expand controlled Person Role maintenance operations. |
|
||||
| Prompt adapter/service | Add constrained listing, reading, validation, and safe writing of prompt artifacts. |
|
||||
| UI composition/navigation | Register Settings routes and navigation without moving persistence into UI code. |
|
||||
| Tests | Add transaction, conflict, registry lifecycle, prompt safety, and UI workflow coverage. |
|
||||
|
||||
## Proposed Data Design
|
||||
## Proposed Implementation Phases
|
||||
|
||||
Exact names should be confirmed against existing conventions before migration code is written. The design should provide the following logical records.
|
||||
### 1. Resolve Scope-Freeze Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Execution Evidence
|
||||
- Select and document the reorder interaction.
|
||||
- Define whether active Jobs block reorder.
|
||||
- Define prompt atomic-write, backup, and recovery policy.
|
||||
- Decide whether prompt creation/deletion is excluded.
|
||||
- Finalize registry ordering requirements.
|
||||
- Remove the Draft designation only after these decisions are reflected in scope and acceptance criteria.
|
||||
|
||||
Extend `JobSource` or associate it one-to-one with a new execution-evidence record containing:
|
||||
### 2. Define Service Contracts
|
||||
|
||||
- Request manifest JSON and manifest schema version.
|
||||
- Transport status, body bytes or exact decoded body plus encoding/content type, and safe headers.
|
||||
- Parsed SDK snapshot retained separately from transport content.
|
||||
- Application, adapter, SDK, and runtime version metadata.
|
||||
- Start, finish, and duration values.
|
||||
- Router/provider request and generation identifiers when available.
|
||||
- Failure phase and whether an HTTP response was received.
|
||||
- Define a Source reorder command containing `document_id`, the complete ordered Source ID list, and a concurrency token or equivalent stale-write guard if supported by the current model.
|
||||
- Define Document Type maintenance commands for create, relabel, sort, activate, and deactivate.
|
||||
- Define Person Role maintenance commands for create, relabel, activate, and deactivate.
|
||||
- Define a Prompt Store interface for constrained list/read/write behavior.
|
||||
- Map validation, conflict, not-found, dependency, and filesystem failures to existing `AppError` categories.
|
||||
|
||||
The implementation should evaluate a companion table rather than continuing to widen `JobSource`. A companion record better isolates large/optional evidence and permits clear one-to-one compatibility semantics.
|
||||
### 3. Implement Transactional Source Reordering
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Generic Processing Artifact
|
||||
- Load all Sources for the target Document in the same transaction.
|
||||
- Reject missing, extra, duplicate, or foreign Source IDs.
|
||||
- Reject stale writes using the selected concurrency policy.
|
||||
- Apply a collision-safe renumbering strategy suitable for both SQLite and PostgreSQL.
|
||||
- Finish with contiguous `page_number` values beginning at 1.
|
||||
- Roll back the entire operation on any failure.
|
||||
- Add service tests for valid reorder, no-op, reverse order, invalid membership, duplicates, stale submissions, rollback, and backend-compatible SQL behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
Add a one-to-many artifact model associated with a source and, when applicable, a producing execution:
|
||||
### 4. Implement the Reorder UI
|
||||
|
||||
- Stable artifact UUID.
|
||||
- `source_id` and optional execution/`job_source_id`.
|
||||
- Semantic artifact type.
|
||||
- Media/serialization format.
|
||||
- Schema name and version.
|
||||
- Producer and producer version.
|
||||
- Inline JSON payload or external location.
|
||||
- Payload digest and byte size.
|
||||
- Coordinate-system metadata when relevant.
|
||||
- Creation timestamp.
|
||||
- Add a Reorder Pages action from a Document-scoped Source view or Document Detail.
|
||||
- Render Source labels/previews sufficient to identify each page.
|
||||
- Capture the complete intended order.
|
||||
- Require explicit Save and provide Cancel without mutation.
|
||||
- Surface validation and conflict errors through the shared error presenter.
|
||||
- Return to a Document-scoped ordered view after success.
|
||||
- Verify keyboard-accessible controls for any drag-and-drop interaction.
|
||||
|
||||
Enforce exactly one content location: inline payload or external reference. An external artifact must be written durably and hashed before its database record commits.
|
||||
### 5. Expand Registry Maintenance Services
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Compatibility Projections
|
||||
- Reuse existing Document and People service ownership.
|
||||
- Add explicit write methods rather than passing UI-mutated ORM objects directly where practical.
|
||||
- Normalize and validate new stable codes.
|
||||
- Reject duplicate codes deterministically.
|
||||
- Block deletion or omit deletion entirely; use activation state for lifecycle management.
|
||||
- Preserve inactive entries for historical reads.
|
||||
- Add service tests for create, relabel, activation, deactivation, duplicates, immutable codes, and referenced records.
|
||||
|
||||
- Keep `JobSource.raw_api_response` unchanged for existing and new compatibility reads until a later deprecation decision.
|
||||
- Keep `JobSource.ai_metadata` for indexed/display-ready normalized values.
|
||||
- Keep `Source.raw_transcription` as the latest successful machine-output projection while treating per-execution `JobSource.raw_transcription` as history.
|
||||
- Document that older rows have an SDK snapshot but no exact transport capture.
|
||||
### 6. Add Constrained Prompt Storage
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Phases
|
||||
- Place filesystem access behind a dedicated Prompt Store/service boundary.
|
||||
- Resolve all filenames directly beneath the configured prompt root and reject traversal.
|
||||
- Permit only the agreed markdown extension and reject empty content.
|
||||
- Implement the approved safe-write strategy, including flush/replace behavior and backup/recovery if selected.
|
||||
- Preserve file encoding and provide explicit failures for read-only or unavailable storage.
|
||||
- Do not modify any Job row when prompt defaults change.
|
||||
- Add unit tests for valid reads/writes, traversal, invalid names, empty content, filesystem failures, and unchanged Job provenance.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Correct Terminology and Define Typed Contracts
|
||||
### 7. Build the Settings UI
|
||||
|
||||
- Add typed domain models for request manifests, software context, transport metadata, failure phase, and artifact descriptors.
|
||||
- Version every persisted JSON contract from its first release.
|
||||
- Define the safe response-header allowlist. Begin with correlation, content type/encoding, date, retry/rate-limit, and router-specific generation identifiers only when documented and non-secret.
|
||||
- Define size limits and external-storage thresholds for exact bodies and artifacts.
|
||||
- Correct `docs/ver4/schema_v4.md` under “Page-Level Execution and AI Outputs” so the existing column is described as an SDK-serialized OpenRouter response snapshot, not a complete provider envelope, exact HTTP body, or native upstream-provider response. Apply the same terminology to architecture and UI schema references.
|
||||
- Add serialization and secret-rejection unit tests before provider changes.
|
||||
- Register a Settings landing page and navigation entry.
|
||||
- Add separate pages or panels for Document Types, Person Roles, and Prompts.
|
||||
- Keep pages responsible for orchestration and notifications only.
|
||||
- Use service callbacks for all mutations.
|
||||
- Explain stable codes, inactive historical entries, and future-only prompt effects in the UI.
|
||||
- Do not render raw environment values or secrets.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Add Additive Persistence and Upgrade Behavior
|
||||
### 8. Verification and Rollout
|
||||
|
||||
- Add the selected execution-evidence and artifact models.
|
||||
- Add foreign keys, uniqueness constraints, and indexes for source/execution lookup.
|
||||
- Implement idempotent upgrades following the repository's existing schema-upgrade policy.
|
||||
- Do not populate exact response fields for historical rows.
|
||||
- Do not write a capture-time classification onto historical rows during migration. Compatibility reads may describe a populated legacy `raw_api_response` as an SDK snapshot, but exports must identify that description as a later compatibility interpretation rather than execution-time metadata.
|
||||
- Verify JSON portability and large-payload behavior for SQLite and PostgreSQL.
|
||||
- Add upgrade tests starting from a representative pre-V4.3 schema.
|
||||
- Run focused service tests before UI integration tests.
|
||||
- Verify reorder behavior against Documents with one and many Sources.
|
||||
- Verify ordered transcription rendering and V4.1 previous/next navigation after reorder.
|
||||
- Verify inactive registry behavior in both historical display and create/edit selectors.
|
||||
- Verify prompt changes are picked up by newly created Jobs while historical Jobs retain frozen content/hash.
|
||||
- Run the relevant regression suite.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Build Secret-Safe Request Manifests
|
||||
## Migration and Compatibility Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Build the manifest from the concrete outgoing request body immediately before transport, not from a narrower typed projection that may discard unrecognized request fields.
|
||||
- Replace each image payload in that concrete representation with a source reference containing source UUID, digest, byte size, media type, dimensions, and transformation identity.
|
||||
- Store exact prompt content and preserve omitted-versus-explicit parameter state.
|
||||
- Include requested model, routing preferences, response-format requirements, and timeout/retry policy.
|
||||
- Record application version/commit when available, adapter contract version, SDK package/version, and request-manifest schema version.
|
||||
- Hash the canonical manifest representation for integrity checks.
|
||||
- Test that credentials and embedded image data cannot enter the persisted manifest.
|
||||
- Test that every field actually sent to the provider, including routing and future provider options, is represented or explicitly excluded by the manifest transform.
|
||||
- No new table is expected solely for reordering; `Source.page_number` remains authoritative.
|
||||
- A uniqueness constraint on `(document_id, page_number)` should be evaluated before scope freeze. If added, migration and collision-safe update behavior must be designed for both supported databases.
|
||||
- Existing registry records remain valid.
|
||||
- Prompt editing changes mutable application files, not database provenance already captured on Jobs.
|
||||
- V4.3 must not require users to recreate existing Sources, Documents, People, roles, or types.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Capture OpenRouter Transport Evidence
|
||||
## Proposed Delivery Order
|
||||
|
||||
- Evaluate the installed OpenRouter SDK hooks/client injection first.
|
||||
- If hooks cannot expose an exact stable response before typed parsing, implement the non-streaming OpenRouter call through the existing async HTTP client boundary while retaining typed validation in the adapter.
|
||||
- Read the response body once, preserve it exactly, then parse and normalize it.
|
||||
- Store status, content type/encoding, allowlisted headers, request/generation ID, and timing.
|
||||
- Maintain current authentication, referer/title headers, timeout behavior, and error classification.
|
||||
- Explicitly document that the captured body is the OpenRouter-normalized transport response, not Gemini/Anthropic/OpenAI native upstream JSON.
|
||||
- Add fixture-based tests proving unknown response fields survive transport capture even if a typed parser ignores them.
|
||||
1. Freeze the remaining decisions.
|
||||
2. Implement and verify Source reorder service semantics.
|
||||
3. Build the reorder UI.
|
||||
4. Implement registry maintenance service operations.
|
||||
5. Implement the Prompt Store and safety policy.
|
||||
6. Build Settings pages.
|
||||
7. Run integration and regression verification.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Preserve Failure Evidence
|
||||
## Draft Done Criteria
|
||||
|
||||
- Return or raise a typed provider failure that carries safe evidence separately from its user-facing error.
|
||||
- Persist non-success status/body/allowlisted headers before marking an execution failed.
|
||||
- Represent DNS/connect/TLS/local timeout failures as no-response outcomes with a failure phase and safe diagnostic category.
|
||||
- Preserve response-validation failures with both the exact body and validation details.
|
||||
- Keep transcription-quality rejection distinct from provider failure because a valid provider response was received.
|
||||
- Ensure error strings and logs do not contain authorization data or embedded image payloads.
|
||||
- Add tests for 4xx, 5xx, malformed JSON, schema mismatch, timeout, connection failure, and quality rejection.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Make Execution History Reliably Append-Only
|
||||
|
||||
- Confirm retry behavior creates a distinct execution attempt rather than reusing and overwriting a completed evidence record.
|
||||
- Separate queue linkage from execution-attempt identity; the current update-in-place behavior cannot serve as append-only execution history.
|
||||
- Assign each attempt a deterministic, monotonically increasing attempt number scoped to its Job and Source, enforced by a database uniqueness constraint.
|
||||
- Update the latest-transcription projection only after a successful attempt.
|
||||
- Never update prior response bodies, manifests, timings, or artifacts during a retry.
|
||||
- Select the latest attempt and latest successful attempt by the persisted attempt number with a stable identifier as a defensive secondary key, never by timestamp alone.
|
||||
- Add service/workflow tests covering retries, partial success, interrupted jobs, and historical projection behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Add Generic Artifact Persistence
|
||||
|
||||
- Implement service operations to create, read, list, verify, export, and, only under explicit retention policy, delete artifacts.
|
||||
- Validate semantic type, schema/version, digest, media type, and coordinate metadata.
|
||||
- Support JSON artifacts inline initially when within the agreed size threshold.
|
||||
- Support external artifacts through a constrained application-data root with atomic write, digest verification, and explicit missing-file errors.
|
||||
- Add a provider-neutral example fixture representing OCR words/lines with polygons and confidence values.
|
||||
- Do not integrate a live OCR vendor in this phase.
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Add Evidence Inspection and Export
|
||||
|
||||
- Rename the current Source Detail label to identify historical values as an OpenRouter SDK Response Snapshot.
|
||||
- Add separate sections for Request Manifest, Transport Response, Normalized Metadata, Software Context, and Derived Artifacts.
|
||||
- Show an explicit “not captured for this historical execution” state instead of an empty object.
|
||||
- Keep large bodies collapsed by default and avoid rendering embedded source data.
|
||||
- Add a service-owned export that packages a versioned manifest, evidence JSON/body files, artifact content or references, and digest inventory.
|
||||
- Exclude secrets and machine-local paths that are not required to interpret the evidence.
|
||||
- Add UI and export tests for new, historical, failed, and large-evidence records.
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. Establish the Private Benchmark
|
||||
|
||||
- Select a small initial corpus, then expand only when it exposes meaningful differences.
|
||||
- Stratify examples by printed/typed text, handwriting style, degradation, layout complexity, language, and editorial anomaly.
|
||||
- Reference existing Source UUIDs and digests in a private manifest; do not copy family documents into public test fixtures.
|
||||
- Create manually reviewed reference transcriptions following the invariant methodology.
|
||||
- Implement or adopt existing project-compatible CER/WER calculations without changing dependencies unless justified.
|
||||
- Score omissions, inventions, silent modernization, uncertainty markup, and layout fidelity separately from CER/WER.
|
||||
- Record cost and latency from preserved execution evidence.
|
||||
- Run the current `google/gemini-2.5-flash` configuration as the baseline before testing alternatives.
|
||||
- Treat results as model-version/route/corpus specific and preserve each comparison run.
|
||||
|
||||
### 10. Verify, Migrate, and Align Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
- Run the smallest focused model, provider, service, workflow, UI, upgrade, and export test groups first.
|
||||
- Run broader regression tests only after focused validation passes.
|
||||
- Execute all destructive tests through `tools/run_destructive_tests.py`.
|
||||
- Verify backup creation and required restoration behavior before any test touching real application data.
|
||||
- Confirm existing Source Detail records remain readable after upgrade.
|
||||
- Update V4 architecture, schema, requirements, and UI schema mappings to point to V4.3 semantics.
|
||||
- Record any deliberate deviation from this plan in the V4.3 scope before release.
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommended Delivery Order
|
||||
|
||||
1. Typed/versioned evidence contracts and terminology.
|
||||
2. Additive execution-evidence persistence.
|
||||
3. Secret-safe request manifests.
|
||||
4. Exact OpenRouter transport capture.
|
||||
5. Failure evidence and append-only retry semantics.
|
||||
6. Generic artifact persistence.
|
||||
7. Inspection and export.
|
||||
8. Private benchmark tooling and baseline run.
|
||||
9. Migration, regression verification, and documentation alignment.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Implementation Decisions to Resolve
|
||||
|
||||
1. Whether execution evidence is a one-to-one companion to `JobSource` or part of a new execution-attempt model required for append-only retries.
|
||||
2. Whether exact response bodies remain database values at expected sizes or move to hashed external files above a threshold.
|
||||
3. The canonical JSON algorithm used to hash request manifests.
|
||||
4. The safe-header allowlist supported by OpenRouter and future adapters.
|
||||
5. The application version identity available in local, packaged, and uncommitted development builds.
|
||||
6. The initial inline/external artifact size threshold and application-data root.
|
||||
7. Whether evidence exports include original source binaries by default, optionally, or only by reference.
|
||||
8. The minimum private benchmark corpus size and review process before model comparisons influence defaults.
|
||||
|
||||
These decisions must be settled before their corresponding implementation phase; they do not weaken the invariant or expand V4.3 into live OCR integration.
|
||||
|
||||
## Done When
|
||||
|
||||
- Every V4.3 acceptance criterion is satisfied by focused tests or an explicit demonstration.
|
||||
- Existing SDK snapshots retain their content and are labeled accurately.
|
||||
- New successful and failed calls preserve secret-safe provider-boundary evidence.
|
||||
- Unknown transport fields survive even when the typed SDK/parser does not recognize them.
|
||||
- Retries cannot overwrite prior execution evidence.
|
||||
- A generic versioned artifact can represent OCR geometry and pass integrity verification.
|
||||
- Evidence can be safely inspected and exported with schema identities and digests.
|
||||
- The current model has a reproducible private benchmark baseline.
|
||||
- No credential or embedded source payload appears in persisted manifests, safe headers, logs, or exports.
|
||||
- Existing V4.1 and V4.2 behavior remains compatible.
|
||||
|
||||
## Out of Scope
|
||||
|
||||
- Live OCR/document-AI provider integration.
|
||||
- Automatic model switching.
|
||||
- Archive-wide reprocessing.
|
||||
- Native upstream-provider response capture through OpenRouter when OpenRouter does not expose it.
|
||||
- Guarantees of deterministic hosted-model output.
|
||||
- All V4.3 acceptance criteria are testable and satisfied.
|
||||
- Reordering is atomic, conflict-aware, contiguous, and cross-database compatible.
|
||||
- Settings mutations cross explicit service or adapter boundaries.
|
||||
- Registry codes cannot be accidentally changed.
|
||||
- Prompt writes cannot escape the configured directory or rewrite historical provenance.
|
||||
- No secret or raw environment editor exists.
|
||||
- V4.1 and V4.2 workflows remain intact.

# V4.3 Scope Boundary
|
||||
# Draft V4.3 Scope Boundary
|
||||
|
||||
This document defines the proposed boundary for the digital-evidence and AI-provenance revision that follows V4.2. V4 remains the architecture baseline; V4.3 makes the existing evidence claims precise and adds a provider-neutral foundation for future processing artifacts.
|
||||
This document defines the proposed boundary for the page-reordering and constrained-settings revision that follows the V4.2 evidence-and-provenance work. It is intentionally a draft until the earlier revisions have been used and the remaining workflows have been validated.
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
- Align the application with the [Digital Evidence and AI Processing Provenance invariant](../invariant/ai_evidence_and_provenance.md).
|
||||
- Preserve provider-boundary evidence before SDK parsing can remove unknown fields.
|
||||
- Make successful and failed processing attempts inspectable without storing secrets.
|
||||
- Support future OCR and layout outputs without coupling the database to one vendor.
|
||||
- Establish a repeatable method for comparing transcription models against this archive.
|
||||
- Allow correction of Source page order after import.
|
||||
- Provide a constrained Settings area for safe maintenance of selected application-managed configuration.
|
||||
- Avoid exposing secrets, restart-sensitive settings, or unrestricted filesystem editing through the UI.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- Treat existing `JobSource.raw_api_response` values as historical SDK response snapshots.
|
||||
- Preserve every existing `Job`, `Source`, and `JobSource` row.
|
||||
- Use additive migrations and compatibility reads; do not reinterpret previously stored values as exact transport captures.
|
||||
- Correct the “Page-Level Execution and AI Outputs” rule in `docs/ver4/schema_v4.md` that currently describes `JOB_SOURCE` as storing a complete provider response envelope. The corrected rule must identify `raw_api_response` as an SDK-serialized OpenRouter response snapshot and state that it is neither the exact HTTP body nor the native upstream-provider response.
|
||||
- Allow Sources within one Document to be reordered after import.
|
||||
- Present the current order using page number and a recognizable source label or preview.
|
||||
- Persist the complete intended order atomically.
|
||||
- Renumber the affected Document's Sources to a contiguous sequence beginning at 1.
|
||||
- Keep all Sources attached to their existing Document.
|
||||
- Ensure transcription rendering and previous/next navigation use the updated order.
|
||||
- Detect stale or invalid reorder submissions and fail without partial mutation.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Secret-Safe Request Manifests
|
||||
### 2. Settings Navigation
|
||||
|
||||
- Persist the effective request specification for each page execution without storing credentials or duplicate base64 media.
|
||||
- Include requested provider/model, routing constraints, prompt content and hash, explicitly supplied parameters, source digest, media type, dimensions when known, and page identity.
|
||||
- Distinguish an omitted optional parameter from an explicitly supplied null or value.
|
||||
- Record application, provider-adapter, Python client, and relevant schema versions.
|
||||
- Use source or derivative references in place of embedded media bytes.
|
||||
- Add a Settings entry to application navigation.
|
||||
- Provide separate, clearly described settings areas rather than a raw configuration editor.
|
||||
- Restrict V4.3 settings to application-managed values that can be validated and safely changed at runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Provider-Boundary Response Capture
|
||||
### 3. Document Type Maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
- Capture the exact HTTP response body before OpenRouter SDK parsing for non-streaming transcription calls.
|
||||
- Store HTTP status and an explicit allowlist of safe response headers.
|
||||
- Store router request/generation identifiers and resolved model/provider-routing metadata when exposed.
|
||||
- Preserve the current parsed SDK snapshot and normalized metadata where useful.
|
||||
- Keep exact body, parsed representation, and normalized fields distinguishable.
|
||||
- List active and inactive Document Types.
|
||||
- Add new types with a stable unique code and user-facing label.
|
||||
- Edit mutable labels and sort order.
|
||||
- Activate or deactivate types without invalidating historical Documents.
|
||||
- Do not allow changing a stable code after creation.
|
||||
- Do not delete types that are referenced by Documents.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Failure Evidence and Timing
|
||||
### 4. Person Role Maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
- Create or update a page execution record for every attempted provider call.
|
||||
- Persist safe response evidence for non-success HTTP responses.
|
||||
- Distinguish HTTP response failures, connection failures, local timeouts, response-validation failures, and transcription-quality failures.
|
||||
- Store execution start/end times or duration using a clearly defined clock policy.
|
||||
- Do not collapse a provider error body into only a generic user-facing message.
|
||||
- List active and inactive Person Roles.
|
||||
- Add new roles with a stable unique code and user-facing label.
|
||||
- Edit mutable labels.
|
||||
- Activate or deactivate roles without invalidating historical links.
|
||||
- Do not allow changing a stable code after creation.
|
||||
- Do not delete roles that are referenced by document-person links.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Generic Processing Artifacts
|
||||
### 5. Prompt Maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
- Add a provider-neutral representation for versioned derived artifacts.
|
||||
- Support inline JSON and externally stored payloads with a digest and stable reference.
|
||||
- Record artifact type, format, schema/version, producer/version, source, producing execution, and creation time.
|
||||
- Define coordinate-system metadata sufficient for word, line, block, or page geometry.
|
||||
- Permit future OCR/layout/confidence results without implementing a vendor-specific table for each provider.
|
||||
- List prompt markdown files from the configured prompt directory.
|
||||
- View a prompt with a concise explanation of its purpose and use.
|
||||
- Edit an existing prompt as plain markdown text.
|
||||
- Validate the filename boundary and reject empty prompt content.
|
||||
- Save changes explicitly and report filesystem failures.
|
||||
- Preserve submission-time prompt text and hash already frozen on existing Jobs.
|
||||
- Define a safe-write and recovery approach before this feature is considered final scope.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Evidence Inspection and Export
|
||||
## Proposed Out of Scope
|
||||
|
||||
- Expand Source Detail and/or Job Detail to identify the evidence layer being displayed.
|
||||
- Provide readable JSON inspection for request manifests, transport metadata, parsed responses, normalized metadata, and derived artifacts.
|
||||
- Provide a safe export containing evidence content or references, relationships, schema versions, and digests.
|
||||
- Clearly label evidence that was not captured for historical records.
|
||||
- Do not display or export credentials, unrestricted headers, or embedded base64 source media.
|
||||
- Viewing or editing raw `.env` files.
|
||||
- Displaying or changing provider API keys and other secrets.
|
||||
- Editing host, port, database connection, upload paths, or other restart-sensitive runtime settings.
|
||||
- Arbitrary file browsing or arbitrary prompt paths.
|
||||
- Runtime theme/CSS editing.
|
||||
- Installing themes or plugins.
|
||||
- Source movement between Documents as part of reordering.
|
||||
- Automatic ordering based on filenames, OCR, or image content.
|
||||
- FamilySearch API synchronization.
|
||||
- A generic external-reference registry.
|
||||
- Ancestry references and Google Maps links.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Representative-Corpus Benchmark Protocol
|
||||
## Proposed Design Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
- Define a private benchmark manifest referencing source digests rather than duplicating archival media.
|
||||
- Include representative printed, typed, handwritten, degraded, tabular, and spatially complex pages.
|
||||
- Pair each benchmark item with a manually reviewed literal transcription.
|
||||
- Score character error rate, word error rate, omissions, inventions, silent normalization, uncertainty handling, layout fidelity, cost, and latency.
|
||||
- Preserve the complete execution provenance for every benchmark run.
|
||||
- Keep the current model as a baseline; do not change the application default solely from vendor benchmarks.
|
||||
### A. Reordering Is Set-Based
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Migration, Integrity, and Verification
|
||||
- The client submits the full ordered list of Source IDs for one Document.
|
||||
- The service validates membership, completeness, duplicates, and authorization/context before writing.
|
||||
- All page-number updates occur in one transaction.
|
||||
|
||||
- Provide non-destructive upgrade behavior for supported SQLite and PostgreSQL deployments.
|
||||
- Backfill only facts that can be derived reliably from existing records.
|
||||
- Mark unavailable historical evidence as unavailable rather than fabricating it.
|
||||
- Add digest, serialization, header-allowlist, failure-path, compatibility, artifact, export, and UI inspection tests.
|
||||
- Run destructive tests only through the repository's required backup-and-restore wrapper.
|
||||
### B. Registry Codes Are Immutable
|
||||
|
||||
## Out of Scope
|
||||
- Document Type and Person Role codes are stable identifiers.
|
||||
- Labels and active state remain mutable.
|
||||
- Historical references remain valid when a registry entry is inactive.
|
||||
|
||||
- Selecting or declaring a permanent best transcription model.
|
||||
- Changing the default transcription model without benchmark evidence and a separate decision.
|
||||
- Integrating Azure Document Intelligence, Google Document AI, Transkribus, Mistral OCR, or another OCR provider in V4.3.
|
||||
- Generating bounding boxes retroactively for existing transcriptions.
|
||||
- Bulk reprocessing the archive.
|
||||
- Packet capture, TLS evidence, full unrestricted request/response headers, or credential retention.
|
||||
- Storing duplicate base64 source images in request manifests.
|
||||
- Guaranteeing byte-identical reproduction from nondeterministic or updated hosted models.
|
||||
- Automatic entity extraction, biography generation, or genealogical inference.
|
||||
- Replacing the relational database with an event store or content-addressed object store.
|
||||
- Destructive renaming or removal of `raw_api_response`.
|
||||
### C. No Raw Environment Editor
|
||||
|
||||
## Locked Design Decisions
|
||||
- `.env` may contain secrets and values that are not safely reloadable.
|
||||
- V4.3 exposes only purpose-built forms backed by explicit validation and service methods.
|
||||
|
||||
### A. The Original Source Is Primary Evidence
|
||||
### D. Prompt Editing Is Constrained
|
||||
|
||||
- Original uploaded bytes and their digest remain authoritative.
|
||||
- Processing derivatives and outputs are independently identified derived evidence.
|
||||
- Future OCR/layout work reuses the original or a documented derivative.
|
||||
- Prompt maintenance is limited to direct children of the configured prompt directory.
|
||||
- Existing Job provenance is never rewritten when a prompt file changes.
|
||||
- The UI must distinguish editing the default for future submissions from inspecting historical Job prompts.
|
||||
|
||||
### B. Evidence Is Layered
|
||||
## Decisions Required Before Scope Freeze
|
||||
|
||||
- Exact transport evidence, SDK-parsed objects, normalized metadata, and transcription text serve different purposes.
|
||||
- One representation must not silently stand in for another.
|
||||
- UI and export labels name the stored evidence layer.
|
||||
1. Choose the reorder interaction: move-up/down controls, drag-and-drop, or both.
|
||||
2. Decide whether reordering is allowed while the Document has a queued or processing Job.
|
||||
3. Define prompt backup, atomic-write, and recovery behavior.
|
||||
4. Decide whether prompt creation and deletion are needed or whether V4.3 edits existing prompts only.
|
||||
5. Confirm whether registry sort-order maintenance is needed for Person Roles as well as Document Types.
|
||||
6. Confirm that settings changes remain local to the current installation and do not require an API surface.
|
||||
|
||||
### C. History Is Append-Only
|
||||
## Draft Acceptance Criteria
|
||||
|
||||
- A retry or reprocessing attempt creates new execution evidence.
|
||||
- Convenience caches may change, but historical execution output does not.
|
||||
- Human revisions remain separate from machine output.
|
||||
1. Reordering a Document's Sources produces contiguous page numbers and updates every ordered view consistently.
|
||||
2. Invalid, incomplete, duplicate, cross-Document, or stale reorder requests make no changes.
|
||||
3. Document Type and Person Role maintenance preserves stable codes and historical references.
|
||||
4. Inactive registry entries remain visible on historical records but are excluded from default create selectors.
|
||||
5. Prompt edits are restricted to valid markdown files in the configured prompt directory.
|
||||
6. A prompt edit affects future Jobs only and leaves stored Job provenance unchanged.
|
||||
7. No Settings page exposes secrets or unrestricted filesystem access.
|
||||
8. Focused service and UI tests pass without regressing V4.1 or V4.2 workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
### D. Capture Is Secret-Safe by Construction
|
||||
## Scope Freeze Gate
|
||||
|
||||
- Safe headers are allowlisted.
|
||||
- Authorization, cookies, API keys, and unrestricted headers are never persisted.
|
||||
- Request manifests reference source digests instead of embedding source bytes.
|
||||
V4.3 implementation should not begin until:
|
||||
|
||||
### E. Derived Artifacts Are Generic and Versioned
|
||||
|
||||
- Artifact storage is not limited to bounding boxes.
|
||||
- Coordinate metadata declares units, origin, dimensions, and transformations.
|
||||
- Provider-specific payloads may be retained without making provider-specific fields the durable application contract.
|
||||
|
||||
### F. Existing Evidence Keeps Its Original Meaning
|
||||
|
||||
- Existing `raw_api_response` data remains an SDK response snapshot.
|
||||
- A migration may label or classify it but may not claim that missing transport data was captured.
|
||||
- Historical nulls and absent fields remain distinguishable from new explicitly captured values.
|
||||
|
||||
## Data and Compatibility Policy
|
||||
|
||||
- All schema changes are additive in V4.3.
|
||||
- Existing source files, hashes, transcriptions, revisions, prompts, jobs, and relationships remain valid.
|
||||
- Compatibility reads continue to display historical SDK snapshots.
|
||||
- Large derived artifacts may be stored outside the database when the database retains a stable reference, digest, media type, and schema identity.
|
||||
- JSON evidence must remain portable across SQLite and PostgreSQL.
|
||||
- Exports use explicit schema versions so later releases can interpret older packages.
|
||||
|
||||
## Acceptance Criteria
|
||||
|
||||
1. A new execution can be traced from its source digest through its frozen request manifest, transport response, parsed/normalized data, and derived outputs.
|
||||
2. Exact response content is captured before SDK parsing and is clearly distinguished from the existing SDK snapshot.
|
||||
3. Failed HTTP calls retain safe provider evidence; calls with no response record that fact explicitly.
|
||||
4. Omitted parameters remain distinguishable from explicit values.
|
||||
5. No persisted request, header set, UI display, log, or export contains API credentials.
|
||||
6. Retrying or reprocessing does not overwrite prior execution evidence.
|
||||
7. Historical records remain readable and are not mislabeled as exact transport captures.
|
||||
8. A versioned generic artifact can represent OCR/layout JSON and its coordinate system without a provider-specific schema change.
|
||||
9. Evidence exports include relationships, schema identities, and digests sufficient for independent integrity checks.
|
||||
10. The benchmark protocol can compare the current baseline with another model on the same private corpus and scoring rules.
|
||||
11. Additive migrations and focused tests work across the supported persistence model.
|
||||
12. All destructive-test runs comply with the backup-and-restore protocol.
|
||||
- V4.1 has been used sufficiently to validate priorities.
|
||||
- V4.2 evidence and provenance work has been completed and validated.
|
||||
- The six open decisions above are resolved.
|
||||
- The prompt-write safety policy is documented.
|
||||
- The implementation plan is revised from draft to committed delivery plan.
