# Epic 4 Database Architecture Solution ## Problem Summary The YouTube Summarizer is experiencing critical database and architecture issues preventing Epic 4 features from working: 1. **Table Definition Conflicts**: `rag_chunks` and other tables being defined both in models and migrations 2. **Missing Foreign Keys**: `enhanced_exports.template_id` references non-existent `prompt_templates` table 3. **Circular Dependencies**: Models importing each other causing initialization loops 4. **Disabled Features**: Multi-agent and analysis template routers disabled due to these issues 5. **Migration State Mismatch**: Models expect tables that don't exist yet ## Root Cause Analysis ### Current Architecture Issues 1. **Model-First vs Migration-First Conflict** - Models are using `Model` base class that auto-registers with DatabaseRegistry - Tables are being created by models before migrations run - Migrations try to create tables that already exist from model definitions 2. **Import Order Problems** - `models/__init__.py` imports all models at once - Models reference foreign keys to tables not yet created - Circular imports between related models 3. **DatabaseRegistry Singleton Limitations** - Registry prevents duplicate table definitions (good) - But doesn't handle migration/model synchronization (bad) - No deferred foreign key resolution ## Permanent Architecture Solution ### 1. Database Migration Strategy #### Phase 1: Clean Migration Path ```bash # Step 1: Apply all pending migrations in correct order cd /Users/enias/projects/my-ai-projects/apps/youtube-summarizer source ../venv/bin/activate # Check current migration status PYTHONPATH=. ../venv/bin/python3 -m alembic current # Apply Epic 4 migrations PYTHONPATH=. ../venv/bin/python3 -m alembic upgrade add_epic_4_features ``` #### Phase 2: Create Comprehensive Epic 4 Migration ```python # backend/alembic/versions/epic_4_complete_integration.py """Complete Epic 4 integration with all features Revision ID: epic_4_complete Revises: add_epic_4_features """ def upgrade(): # Ensure all Epic 4 tables exist # 1. Multi-Agent Analysis Tables (Story 4.3) if not table_exists('agent_summaries'): op.create_table('agent_summaries', ...) # 2. Custom Prompt Templates (Story 4.4) if not table_exists('prompt_templates'): op.create_table('prompt_templates', ...) # 3. Enhanced Export Metadata (Story 4.4) if not table_exists('export_metadata'): op.create_table('export_metadata', ...) # 4. Summary Sections (Story 4.4) if not table_exists('summary_sections'): op.create_table('summary_sections', ...) # 5. RAG Tables (Story 4.6) if not table_exists('rag_chunks'): op.create_table('rag_chunks', ...) if not table_exists('vector_embeddings'): op.create_table('vector_embeddings', ...) ``` ### 2. Model Architecture Refactoring #### Lazy Model Loading Pattern ```python # backend/models/lazy_models.py """Lazy loading wrapper for all Epic 4 models""" from typing import TYPE_CHECKING, Optional from sqlalchemy.orm import relationship if TYPE_CHECKING: from .prompt_templates import PromptTemplate from .agent_summaries import AgentSummary from .rag_models import RAGChunk class LazyModelMixin: """Mixin for lazy relationship loading""" @property def prompt_template(self) -> Optional['PromptTemplate']: """Lazy load prompt template relationship""" if hasattr(self, '_prompt_template'): return self._prompt_template return None ``` #### Proper Model Inheritance ```python # backend/models/base.py from backend.core.database_registry import registry from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declared_attr class TimestampedModel: """Mixin for created_at/updated_at fields""" @declared_attr def created_at(cls): return Column(DateTime, default=func.now()) @declared_attr def updated_at(cls): return Column(DateTime, onupdate=func.now()) class Model(registry.Base, TimestampedModel): """Base model with registry integration""" __abstract__ = True # Prevent duplicate registration __table_args__ = {'extend_existing': True} ``` ### 3. Epic 4 Unified Model Registry #### Create Central Epic 4 Models ```python # backend/models/epic4/__init__.py """Epic 4 model package with proper initialization order""" # Import order matters - base tables first, then dependent tables # 1. Base tables (no foreign keys to Epic 4 tables) from .prompt_templates import PromptTemplate from .agent_summaries import AgentSummary # 2. Dependent tables (have foreign keys to above) from .enhanced_exports import EnhancedExport from .export_sections import ExportSection from .prompt_experiments import PromptExperiment # 3. RAG tables (can reference any above) from .rag_chunks import RAGChunk from .vector_embeddings import VectorEmbedding from .semantic_search import SemanticSearchResult # 4. Multi-agent tables from .multi_agent_analysis import MultiAgentAnalysis from .playlist_analysis import PlaylistAnalysis __all__ = [ 'PromptTemplate', 'AgentSummary', 'EnhancedExport', 'ExportSection', 'PromptExperiment', 'RAGChunk', 'VectorEmbedding', 'SemanticSearchResult', 'MultiAgentAnalysis', 'PlaylistAnalysis', ] ``` ### 4. Fix Individual Model Issues #### RAG Models Fix ```python # backend/models/epic4/rag_chunks.py from sqlalchemy import Column, String, Integer, Text, Float, ForeignKey from backend.models.base import Model, GUID class RAGChunk(Model): """Text chunks for RAG processing""" __tablename__ = "rag_chunks" __table_args__ = {'extend_existing': True} # Prevent duplicate definition id = Column(GUID, primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4) summary_id = Column(GUID, ForeignKey("summaries.id", ondelete='CASCADE'), nullable=True) video_id = Column(String(20), nullable=False, index=True) # Use string references for relationships to avoid circular imports summary = relationship("Summary", back_populates="rag_chunks", lazy='select') ``` #### Agent Summary Model ```python # backend/models/epic4/agent_summaries.py from backend.models.base import Model, GUID class AgentSummary(Model): """Multi-agent analysis results""" __tablename__ = "agent_summaries" __table_args__ = {'extend_existing': True} id = Column(GUID, primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4) summary_id = Column(GUID, ForeignKey("summaries.id", ondelete='CASCADE')) agent_type = Column(String(20), nullable=False) # technical, business, user, synthesis # JSON fields for flexible schema analysis_result = Column(JSON, nullable=False) # Relationships summary = relationship("Summary", back_populates="agent_analyses") ``` ### 5. Multi-Agent Integration with Database #### Update Multi-Agent Orchestrator ```python # backend/services/multi_agent_orchestrator.py from backend.models.epic4 import AgentSummary from backend.core.database import get_db class MultiAgentVideoOrchestrator: """Enhanced orchestrator with database persistence""" async def save_analysis_to_database( self, summary_id: str, analysis_result: Dict[str, Any], db: Session ) -> List[AgentSummary]: """Save multi-agent analysis to database""" agent_summaries = [] for perspective_type, analysis in analysis_result['perspectives'].items(): agent_summary = AgentSummary( summary_id=summary_id, agent_type=perspective_type, analysis_result=analysis ) db.add(agent_summary) agent_summaries.append(agent_summary) db.commit() return agent_summaries ``` ### 6. API Router Re-enablement #### Update Main Application ```python # backend/main.py # Import Epic 4 models in correct order from backend.models.epic4 import ( PromptTemplate, AgentSummary, EnhancedExport, ExportSection, RAGChunk, VectorEmbedding ) # Re-enable routers from backend.api.multi_agent import router as multi_agent_router from backend.api.enhanced_export import router as enhanced_export_router from backend.api.prompt_templates import router as templates_router # Include all routers app.include_router(multi_agent_router) app.include_router(enhanced_export_router) app.include_router(templates_router) ``` ### 7. Implementation Steps #### Step 1: Database Reset and Migration ```bash # Backup current database cp data/app.db data/app.db.backup # Reset migrations to clean state PYTHONPATH=. ../venv/bin/python3 -m alembic downgrade base PYTHONPATH=. ../venv/bin/python3 -m alembic upgrade head ``` #### Step 2: Model Refactoring 1. Create `backend/models/epic4/` directory 2. Move all Epic 4 models to new directory 3. Add `__table_args__ = {'extend_existing': True}` to all models 4. Update imports to use new structure #### Step 3: Update Service Layer 1. Update multi-agent orchestrator to save to database 2. Add database persistence to playlist analyzer 3. Create enhanced export service with database integration #### Step 4: Re-enable and Test 1. Re-enable disabled routers in main.py 2. Run comprehensive tests 3. Verify all Epic 4 features work together ## Testing Strategy ### Integration Tests ```python # tests/integration/test_epic4_integration.py async def test_multi_agent_with_database(): """Test multi-agent analysis saves to database""" # Create summary # Run multi-agent analysis # Verify agent_summaries table populated async def test_enhanced_export_with_templates(): """Test enhanced export uses prompt templates""" # Create prompt template # Generate enhanced export # Verify export uses template async def test_rag_chat_with_chunks(): """Test RAG chat creates and uses chunks""" # Create summary # Generate RAG chunks # Test chat interface ``` ## Benefits of This Architecture 1. **Clean Separation**: Models, migrations, and services are properly separated 2. **No Circular Dependencies**: Lazy loading and string references prevent cycles 3. **Database Integrity**: Foreign keys properly enforced with cascading deletes 4. **Extensibility**: Easy to add new Epic 4 features without breaking existing ones 5. **Performance**: Optimized indexes and relationships for fast queries 6. **Maintainability**: Clear structure makes debugging and updates easier ## Rollback Plan If issues occur: 1.
