Authentication Architecture

JWT Token Strategy

class AuthService:
    def generate_tokens(self, user_id: str) -> Tuple[str, str]:
        """Generate access and refresh token pair"""
        
    def verify_token(self, token: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """Verify and decode JWT token"""
        
    def refresh_access_token(self, refresh_token: str) -> str:
        """Generate new access token from refresh token"""

User Model

class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = "users"
    
    id = Column(UUID(as_uuid=True), primary_key=True)
    email = Column(String(255), unique=True, nullable=False)
    password_hash = Column(String(255), nullable=False)
    is_verified = Column(Boolean, default=False)
    created_at = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.utcnow)
    last_login = Column(DateTime)
    
    # Preferences
    default_model = Column(String(50), default="openai")
    summary_length = Column(String(20), default="standard")
    
    # API access
    api_keys = relationship("APIKey", back_populates="user")
    summaries = relationship("Summary", back_populates="user")

WebSocket Architecture

Real-time Progress Updates

interface ProgressUpdate {
  job_id: string;
  status: "validating" | "extracting" | "summarizing" | "completed" | "failed";
  progress_percentage: number;
  current_step: string;
  estimated_time_remaining?: number;
  error_message?: string;
}

class WebSocketClient {
  connect(job_id: string): Promise<void>;
  onProgress(callback: (update: ProgressUpdate) => void): void;
  disconnect(): void;
}

Batch Processing Architecture

Job Queue System

class BatchJob(Base):
    __tablename__ = "batch_jobs"
    
    id = Column(UUID(as_uuid=True), primary_key=True)
    user_id = Column(UUID(as_uuid=True), nullable=False)
    name = Column(String(255))
    
    # Job configuration
    urls = Column(JSON)  # List of YouTube URLs
    model = Column(String(50))
    options = Column(JSON)
    
    # Progress tracking
    total_videos = Column(Integer)
    completed_videos = Column(Integer, default=0)
    failed_videos = Column(Integer, default=0)
    status = Column(Enum(BatchJobStatus))
    
    # Results
    results = Column(JSON)  # Array of summary IDs
    download_url = Column(String(500))  # ZIP download link
    
    created_at = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.utcnow)
    completed_at = Column(DateTime)
