## Completed
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Items that have been implemented and merged into main.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Security hardening
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ~~Rotate default JWT secret.~~ Startup check refuses to start with the
|
||||||
|
default secret in non-development environments.
|
||||||
|
- ~~CORS allow-origins are hardcoded.~~ Allowed origins are now configurable
|
||||||
|
via environment variable.
|
||||||
|
- ~~Database credentials in docker-compose.yml.~~ Compose references `.env`
|
||||||
|
for sensitive values.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Error handling and resilience
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ~~`get_db_client()` creates a new `DatabaseClient` on every call.~~ Refactored
|
||||||
|
to a shared pooled singleton initialized at startup.
|
||||||
|
- ~~No rate limiting on auth endpoints.~~ Rate limiting middleware added to
|
||||||
|
`/auth/login` and `/auth/register`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Test coverage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ~~API tests bypass authentication.~~ JWT auth integration tests added (33
|
||||||
|
cases covering registration, login, protected routes, token refresh, and
|
||||||
|
admin-only endpoints).
|
||||||
|
- ~~No test stage in CI.~~ Gitea Actions workflow now runs `pytest` and gates
|
||||||
|
the build.
|
||||||
|
- ~~No linting or type checking in CI.~~ `ruff` (Python) and `tsc --noEmit`
|
||||||
|
(TypeScript) added to CI pipeline.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Backend
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ~~Add structured logging.~~ Python `logging` module used throughout.
|
||||||
|
- ~~Make LLM model configurable.~~ `MODEL` environment variable accepted;
|
||||||
|
multi-model support with per-analysis selection (GPT-4o, Gemini, Claude,
|
||||||
|
Llama).
|
||||||
|
- ~~SERP cache TTL hardcoded.~~ `SERP_CACHE_TTL_HOURS` exposed as env var.
|
||||||
|
- ~~Patent PDF storage.~~ S3/MinIO object storage backend added alongside
|
||||||
|
local filesystem. Volume mount requirement documented.
|
||||||
|
- ~~`analyze_single_patent` assumes local file.~~ Auto-download from cached
|
||||||
|
metadata link integrated.
|
||||||
|
- ~~`Patent.patent_id` typed as `int`.~~ Fixed to `str`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Frontend
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ~~No loading/error states.~~ Skeleton loaders and error states added to
|
||||||
|
Batch and Analytics pages.
|
||||||
|
- ~~No dark mode.~~ Full dark mode support with theme-aware chart colors.
|
||||||
|
- ~~Missing lockfile.~~ `package-lock.json` committed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Features (formerly P3)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ~~Export analysis reports.~~ CSV and PDF export endpoints implemented.
|
||||||
|
- ~~Comparison view.~~ Side-by-side company patent portfolio comparison added.
|
||||||
|
- ~~Scheduled/recurring analysis.~~ APScheduler-based periodic re-analysis
|
||||||
|
with configurable interval and change-threshold alerting.
|
||||||
|
- ~~Webhook/notification support.~~ Slack, Discord, and generic HTTP POST
|
||||||
|
webhooks with retry logic.
|
||||||
|
- ~~Multi-model support.~~ Model picker in Analysis and Batch pages; backend
|
||||||
|
allow-list validation.
|
||||||
|
- ~~Patent trend charts.~~ Filing frequency and category distribution
|
||||||
|
visualizations added to Analytics page.
|
||||||
|
- ~~OpenAPI client generation.~~ TypeScript API client auto-generated from
|
||||||
|
FastAPI spec with CI freshness check.

### Security hardening

### Resilience
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Rotate default JWT secret.** `auth.py` ships a fallback
|
- **`_jobs` dict is in-memory only.** Job state is lost on API restart.

Persist job status in PostgreSQL or Redis so async batch results survive

||||||

restarts.
|
||||||
non-development environments.
|
|
||||||
- **CORS allow-origins are hardcoded.** `api.py` only permits
|
|
||||||
`localhost:3000` and `localhost:5173`. Make the allowed origins configurable
|
|
||||||
via environment variable so the dashboard works when deployed behind a real
|
|
||||||
domain.
|
|
||||||
- **Database credentials in docker-compose.yml.** The compose file embeds
|
|
||||||
`postgres:postgres` in plain text. Reference a `.env` file or Docker secrets
|
|
||||||
instead.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Error handling and resilience
|
### Test coverage gaps

||||||

|
||||||
- **`get_db_client()` in `auth.py` creates a new `DatabaseClient` on every
|
- **Export endpoint tests.** The CSV and PDF export endpoints (`/export/`)
|
||||||

|
||||||
connections under load. Refactor to share a single pooled client.
|
*(Issue #1655)*
|
||||||
- **`_jobs` dict is in-memory only.** Job state is lost on API restart. Persist
|
- **Tracked company admin endpoint tests.** The `/admin/tracked` CRUD
|
||||||
job status in PostgreSQL or Redis so async batch results survive restarts.
|
endpoints and scheduler integration lack test coverage. *(Issue #1656)*
|
||||||
- **No rate limiting on auth endpoints.** `/auth/login` and `/auth/register`
|
|
||||||
are unprotected against brute-force or abuse. Add rate limiting middleware.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Test coverage for auth and admin
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- The existing API tests (`tests/test_api.py`) bypass authentication entirely.
|
|
||||||
Add tests that exercise the JWT flow: registration, login, protected-route
|
|
||||||
access, token refresh, and admin-only endpoints.

### Backend
|
### Test coverage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Add structured logging.** Replace `print()` calls throughout `analyzer.py`,
|
- **Webhook integration tests.** The retry logic, Slack/Discord payload
|
||||||
`serp_api.py`, and `llm.py` with Python `logging` so log levels and
|
format, and multi-URL dispatch in `webhooks.py` need test coverage.
|
||||||
formatting are consistent.
|
*(Issue #1657)*
|
||||||
- **Make LLM model configurable.** `llm.py` hardcodes
|
- **S3/MinIO storage backend tests.** `storage.py` has local filesystem tests
|
||||||
`anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet`. Accept a `MODEL` environment variable to allow
|
but no unit tests for the S3 backend (read, write, exists, delete,
|
||||||
switching models without code changes.
|
error handling). *(Issue #1660)*
|
||||||
- **SERP cache TTL is hardcoded to 24 hours.** Expose `SERP_CACHE_TTL_HOURS`
|
- **`analyze_single_patent` auto-download path tests.** The auto-download
|
||||||
as an environment variable in `config.py`.
|
fallback (cache lookup, PDF download, FileNotFoundError) in
|
||||||
- **Patent PDF storage.** PDFs are saved to a local `patents/` directory. For
|
`analyzer.py` lacks test coverage. *(Issue #1661)*
|
||||||
containerized deployments, consider object storage (S3/MinIO) or at minimum
|
|
||||||
document the volume mount requirement more prominently.
|
|
||||||
- **`analyze_single_patent` assumes local file path.** The method constructs
|
|
||||||
`patents/{patent_id}.pdf` and reads from disk, but does not download the PDF
|
|
||||||
first. Either integrate the download step or document the prerequisite.
|
|
||||||
- **`Patent.patent_id` typed as `int` in `types.py` but used as `str`
|
|
||||||
everywhere.** Fix the type annotation to `str`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Frontend
|
### Code quality
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **No loading/error states on several pages.** The Batch and Analytics pages
|
- **Scheduler creates its own DatabaseClient.** `scheduler.py` bypasses the
|
||||||
would benefit from skeleton loaders and user-friendly error messages.
|
application-level pooled client, creating a new connection on every tick.
|
||||||
- **No dark mode.** Tailwind is configured but no dark variant is applied.
|
Refactor to use `get_db_client()`. *(Issue #1658)*
|
||||||
- **Missing `package-lock.json` or `pnpm-lock.yaml`.** The frontend has no
|
|
||||||
lockfile committed, leading to non-reproducible builds.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### CI/CD
|
### API improvements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **No test stage in the Gitea Actions workflow.** `build.yaml` builds and
|
- **API pagination.** The `/analyze/batch` and `/jobs` endpoints could benefit
|
||||||
pushes images but never runs `pytest`. Add a test job that gates the build.
|
from cursor-based pagination for large result sets.
|
||||||
- **No linting or type checking.** Add `ruff` (Python) and `tsc --noEmit`
|
- **Request validation improvements.** Add stricter input validation for

(TypeScript) to CI.
