# Design Document: Comprehensive Quality & Documentation
## Overview
This design covers three pillars for the Stonks Oracle platform:
1. **Test Coverage** — Close unit test gaps in the scheduler and ingestion services, fix pre-existing test failures in the extractor module, and achieve a fully green test suite (Requirements 1–4).
2. **Docker Deployment** — Extend `docker-compose.yml` to include all 13 application services plus the frontend, enabling full-platform local development without Kubernetes (Requirement 5).
3. **Documentation** — Produce comprehensive documentation covering per-service features, API references, Helm chart configuration, Docker deployment, three Mermaid architecture diagrams, AI agent building, backup/restore, observability, and README resource links (Requirements 6–16).
### Design Rationale
The platform has mature production code across 13 services but uneven test coverage and documentation. The scheduler and ingestion services lack dedicated unit tests — their logic is only exercised through integration tests. Four extractor-related test files have pre-existing failures that block CI. Documentation exists only as a local dev setup guide, a pipeline overview, and a runbook. This initiative fills those gaps systematically.
The approach prioritizes:
- **Test isolation**: Mock all external dependencies (PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO, Ollama) so unit tests run fast and deterministically.
- **Documentation from source**: Generate API references by inspecting actual FastAPI route definitions, Helm values from `values.yaml`, and metrics from `services/shared/metrics.py`.
- **Docker parity with Kubernetes**: Mirror the Helm chart's service definitions in Docker Compose so both deployment modes stay in sync.
## Architecture
The work does not change the platform's runtime architecture. It adds:
1. **New test files** in `tests/` for scheduler and ingestion unit tests.
2. **Fixes** to existing test files and/or production code to resolve failures.
3. **New service definitions** in `docker-compose.yml` using the existing `docker/Dockerfile` with `SERVICE_CMD` build args.
4. **New documentation files** in `docs/` organized by topic.
5. **Updated `README.md`** with a documentation index and Mermaid diagram.

## Components and Interfaces
### 1. Scheduler Unit Tests (Requirement 1)
**Target module**: `services/scheduler/app.py`
**Functions to test in isolation**:
- `get_cadence_for_source(source_type, config)` — Returns polling interval from config or defaults.
- `compute_backoff(retry_count)` — Exponential backoff with cap.
- `is_source_due(...)` — Core scheduling logic: determines if a source needs polling based on last run status, timing, retry state.
- `build_job_payload(source, aliases, now)` — Constructs the ingestion job dict.
- `schedule_cycle(pool, rds)` — Full scheduling pass (mocked DB/Redis).
- `check_rate_limit(rds, source_type, now)` — Rate limiting with per-type and global Polygon limits.
- `recover_stale_documents(pool, rds)` — Re-enqueue orphaned parsed documents.
- `retry_failed_extractions(pool, rds)` — Re-enqueue failed extractions.
**Mocking strategy**:
- `asyncpg.Pool` → `AsyncMock` with `.fetch()`, `.fetchrow()`, `.fetchval()`, `.execute()` returning canned records.
- `redis.asyncio.Redis` → `AsyncMock` with `.rpush()`, `.set()`, `.get()`, `.incr()`, `.expire()`, `.decr()`, `.delete()` tracking calls.
- Use `unittest.mock.patch` for module-level imports where needed.
**Test file**: `tests/test_scheduler_unit.py`
### 2. Ingestion Unit Tests (Requirement 2)
**Target module**: `services/ingestion/worker.py`
**Functions to test**:
- `process_job(job, pool, rds, minio_client, adapters)` — Main job processing with various adapter outcomes.
- Error handling paths: adapter returns `AdapterResult(error=...)`, retry exhaustion, dead-letter routing.
- Deduplication: content hash already seen in Redis, cross-source document dedup via `dedupe_items`.
**Mocking strategy**:
- Adapters → `AsyncMock` returning `AdapterResult` with controlled `error`, `items`, `content_hash`, `raw_payload`.
- `asyncpg.Pool` → `AsyncMock` for `ingestion_runs` INSERT/UPDATE, `persist_ingestion_items`, `record_retrieval_failure`.
- `redis.asyncio.Redis` → `AsyncMock` for dedupe checks, queue pushes, DLQ routing.
- `minio.Minio` → `MagicMock` for `upload_raw_artifact`.
**Test file**: `tests/test_ingestion_unit.py`
### 3. Extractor Test Fixes (Requirement 3)
**Target files**:
- `tests/test_extractor_prompts.py`
- `tests/test_extractor_schemas.py`
- `tests/test_ollama_client.py`
- `tests/test_filings_adapter.py`
**Approach**: Run each file individually, diagnose failures, and fix either the test setup (mock configuration, fixture data) or the production code. Preserve original test intent and assertions. If production code changes are needed, add regression tests.
### 4. Full Test Suite Green (Requirement 4)
**Verification**: Run `pytest tests/ -x --tb=short -q` and `ruff check services/` after all fixes. All existing `test_pbt_*` files must remain passing. Any production code fix must include a regression test.
### 5. Docker Compose Application Services (Requirement 5)
**Current state**: `docker-compose.yml` defines 7 infrastructure services (postgres, redis, minio, minio-init, ollama, trino, hive-metastore, superset).
**Addition**: 14 new service definitions (13 app services + frontend dashboard):
| Service | Image Build | Command | Port | Depends On |
|---------|------------|---------|------|------------|
| scheduler | `docker/Dockerfile.scheduler` | `python -m services.scheduler.app` | — | postgres, redis |
| symbol-registry | `docker/Dockerfile` | `uvicorn services.symbol_registry.app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000` | 8001:8000 | postgres |
| ingestion | `docker/Dockerfile` | `python -m services.ingestion.worker` | — | postgres, redis, minio |
| parser | `docker/Dockerfile` | `python -m services.parser.worker` | — | postgres, redis |
| extractor | `docker/Dockerfile` | `python -m services.extractor.main` | — | postgres, redis, ollama |
| aggregation | `docker/Dockerfile` | `python -m services.aggregation.main` | — | postgres, redis |
| recommendation | `docker/Dockerfile` | `python -m services.recommendation.main` | — | postgres, redis |
| trading-engine | `docker/Dockerfile` | `uvicorn services.trading.app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000` | 8002:8000 | postgres, redis |
| risk-engine | `docker/Dockerfile` | `uvicorn services.risk.app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000` | 8003:8000 | postgres |
| broker-adapter | `docker/Dockerfile` | `python -m services.adapters.broker_service` | — | postgres, redis |
| lake-publisher | `docker/Dockerfile` | `python -m services.lake_publisher.jobs` | — | postgres, minio |
| query-api | `docker/Dockerfile` | `uvicorn services.api.app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000` | 8004:8000 | postgres, redis, minio |
| dashboard | `frontend/Dockerfile` | nginx (built-in) | 3000:8080 | query-api |
**Common environment block** (shared via `x-app-env` YAML anchor):
```yaml
POSTGRES_HOST: postgres
POSTGRES_PORT: "5432"
POSTGRES_DB: stonks
POSTGRES_USER: stonks
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: stonks_dev
REDIS_HOST: redis
REDIS_PORT: "6379"
MINIO_ENDPOINT: minio:9000
MINIO_ACCESS_KEY: minioadmin
MINIO_SECRET_KEY: minioadmin
OLLAMA_BASE_URL: http://ollama:11434
```
**`.env` file support**: `MARKET_DATA_API_KEY`, `BROKER_API_KEY`, `BROKER_API_SECRET`, `BROKER_BASE_URL` loaded via `env_file: .env` on services that need them (ingestion, broker-adapter, trading-engine).
**Health checks**: FastAPI services use `curl -f http://localhost:8000/health`; workers use process liveness checks. Infrastructure `depends_on` uses `condition: service_healthy`.

## Data Models
No new database tables or schema changes are introduced. This initiative works with existing tables:
**Tables referenced in test coverage work**:
- `sources`, `companies`, `company_aliases` — scheduler source polling
- `ingestion_runs` — scheduler run tracking, ingestion job recording
- `documents`, `document_company_mentions` — ingestion persistence, stale document recovery
- `document_intelligence`, `document_impact_records` — extractor test fixtures
- `model_performance_metrics` — extractor schema validation metrics
**Tables documented** (not modified):
- All tables listed above plus `trend_windows`, `trend_history`, `trend_projections`, `recommendations`, `recommendation_evidence`, `risk_evaluations`, `orders`, `order_events`, `positions`, `portfolio_snapshots`, `trading_decisions`, `circuit_breaker_events`, `reserve_pool_ledger`, `risk_tier_history`, `backtest_runs`, `backtest_trades`, `notifications`, `global_events`, `macro_impact_records`, `exposure_profiles`, `competitor_relationships`, `competitive_signal_records`, `ai_agents`, `agent_variants`, `agent_performance_log`, `audit_events`, `watchlists`, `watchlist_members`, `retention_policies`, `market_snapshots`
## Error Handling
### Test Coverage
- **Mock failures**: Unit tests must verify that scheduler and ingestion services handle database/Redis connection failures gracefully (no crashes, proper logging).
- **Adapter errors**: Ingestion unit tests must verify retry logic with exponential backoff and dead-letter queue routing after retry exhaustion.
- **Test fix approach**: When fixing pre-existing failures, prefer fixing test setup over changing production code. If production code changes are needed, add regression tests to prevent re-introduction.
### Docker Compose
- **Health check failures**: Application services use `depends_on` with `condition: service_healthy` to wait for infrastructure. Health checks have `interval`, `timeout`, `retries`, and `start_period` configured.
- **Missing `.env` file**: Services that need API keys (ingestion, broker-adapter, trading-engine) will start but log warnings about missing keys. The platform runs in a degraded mode without external API access.
- **Build failures**: Each service uses the same base Dockerfile with `SERVICE_CMD` build arg. Build errors are isolated per service.
### Documentation
- **Stale documentation**: Documentation is generated from source code inspection. If the codebase changes after documentation is written, the docs may drift. The README links section serves as a single index to find and update docs.
- **Diagram accuracy**: Mermaid diagrams are hand-authored based on current architecture. They should be updated when services are added or removed.
## Testing Strategy
### PBT Applicability Assessment
Property-based testing is **NOT applicable** to this feature. The work consists of:
1. **Unit tests for existing services** — These are example-based tests with mocked dependencies, not pure functions with universal properties.
2. **Fixing pre-existing test failures** — Bug fixes to existing tests/code.
3. **Docker Compose configuration** — Declarative infrastructure configuration.
4. **Documentation** — Markdown files with no executable logic.
None of these involve new pure functions, parsers, serializers, or business logic where PBT would add value. The existing `test_pbt_*` files (22 files covering trading, aggregation, competitive intelligence, etc.) already provide PBT coverage for the platform's core logic and must remain passing.
### Unit Testing Strategy
**New test files**:
- `tests/test_scheduler_unit.py` — 8+ test cases covering all scheduler pure functions and the `schedule_cycle` orchestration with mocked dependencies.
- `tests/test_ingestion_unit.py` — 6+ test cases covering adapter error handling, retry logic, deduplication, and dead-letter queue routing.
**Test fix files** (existing, to be repaired):
- `tests/test_extractor_prompts.py`
- `tests/test_extractor_schemas.py`
- `tests/test_ollama_client.py`
- `tests/test_filings_adapter.py`
**Test framework**: pytest + pytest-asyncio (already configured in the project).
**Mocking approach**: `unittest.mock.AsyncMock` for async dependencies, `unittest.mock.MagicMock` for sync dependencies, `unittest.mock.patch` for module-level state.
### Verification Criteria
1. `pytest tests/ -x --tb=short -q` → zero failures
2. `ruff check services/` → zero violations
3. All 22 existing `test_pbt_*` files pass unchanged
4. `docker compose config` validates the updated docker-compose.yml
5. All documentation files render valid Markdown with working internal links
