agent-company 7c6eed8d72 Update ROADMAP.md to mark completed P1 and P2 items as done
Move seven completed items from the P1 and P2 sections into the
Completed section: in-memory jobs persistence, export endpoint tests,
tracked company admin tests, webhook integration tests, S3 storage
tests, auto-download path tests, and scheduler DatabaseClient refactor.

The P2 section now only lists the two genuinely open items: cursor-based
pagination (Issue #1669) and request validation (Issue #1670).

Closes leeworks-agents/SPARC#1678

# SPARC Roadmap
Semiconductor Patent & Analytics Report Core -- development priorities.
## Current State
SPARC is a patent analysis platform with a working end-to-end pipeline:
Python/FastAPI backend, React/TypeScript frontend, PostgreSQL for persistence
and caching, Docker Compose for local development, and Gitea Actions CI/CD for
image builds and testing. Core features include patent retrieval via SerpAPI,
PDF parsing, LLM analysis via OpenRouter (multi-model: Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini,
Llama), batch processing, JWT authentication, analytics dashboard with patent
trend charts, scheduled recurring analysis with alerting, webhook notifications
(Slack/Discord), CSV and PDF export, S3/MinIO storage, side-by-side company
comparison, and dark mode.
---
## 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.
### Resilience
- ~~`_jobs` dict is in-memory only.~~ Database-backed job persistence
implemented using `db.list_jobs()` and `mark_stale_jobs_failed()`. The
in-memory `_jobs` dict has been removed.
### Test coverage (P1/P2)
- ~~Export endpoint tests.~~ Tests added for CSV and PDF export endpoints.
- ~~Tracked company admin endpoint tests.~~ Tests added for `/admin/tracked`
CRUD endpoints and scheduler integration.
- ~~Webhook integration tests.~~ Tests added for retry logic, Slack/Discord
payload format, and multi-URL dispatch.
- ~~S3/MinIO storage backend tests.~~ Unit tests added for the S3 backend
(read, write, exists, delete, error handling).
- ~~`analyze_single_patent` auto-download path tests.~~ Tests added for the
auto-download fallback (cache lookup, PDF download, FileNotFoundError).
### Code quality
- ~~Scheduler creates its own DatabaseClient.~~ Refactored to use the
application-level pooled `get_db_client()`.
---
## P1 -- High Priority
No outstanding P1 items. All previously listed items have been completed and
moved to the Completed section above.
---
## P2 -- Medium Priority
Improvements to the API surface.
### API improvements
- **API pagination.** The `/analyze/batch` endpoint needs cursor-based
pagination for large result sets. The `/jobs` endpoint already has cursor
pagination. *(Issue #1669)*
- **Request validation improvements.** Add stricter input validation for
company names (disallow special characters, enforce length limits).
*(Issue #1670)*
---
## P3 -- Nice to Have
Lower-urgency enhancements and future features.
- **Historical analysis diffing.** Show what changed between two analysis runs
for the same company, highlighting new patents and score shifts.
- **Patent classification tagging.** Automatically tag patents by technology
domain (AI, semiconductors, materials science) using LLM classification.
- **User-level API keys.** Allow users to generate personal API keys for
programmatic access without JWT token refresh.
- **Batch export.** Export analysis results for multiple companies at once as
a ZIP archive.
- **Rate limiting dashboard.** Surface rate limit status and usage statistics
in the admin panel.
- **Async webhook delivery.** Move webhook delivery to a background task queue
(e.g., Celery, arq) to avoid blocking the scheduler.
- **Multi-tenant support.** Scope analysis results and tracked companies per
user or organization.

## Infrastructure and Deployment
Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and cluster-level concerns (MetalLB,
storage, FluxCD sync) are tracked in the
[Talos](https://10.0.1.10/leeworks-agents/Talos) repository. File
infrastructure-related issues there, not here.
