# Code Review: Graphium Core

## 1. Summary

This review focuses on improving the maintainability, debuggability, and simplicity of the `graphium-core` library. The codebase shows a clear intent towards a structured, service-oriented architecture, but suffers from several patterns that increase cognitive load and introduce performance risks.

- **High Cognitive Load in Core API:** The main `Graphium` class and its methods accept a huge number of parameters (e.g., `add_episode` has 14). This makes the API difficult to use, test, and evolve. The solution is to group these parameters into dedicated request models.
- **Critical Performance Risk in Server:** The FastAPI server is configured to initialize expensive resources (database connections, LLM clients) on every single request. This will not scale and will lead to resource exhaustion. The fix is to use a singleton pattern managed by the application's lifespan.
- **Brittle Configuration Logic:** The settings management in [`graphium_core/settings.py`](graphium_core/settings.py) contains complex conditional logic to resolve API keys and URLs. This logic is a magnet for bugs and makes configuration hard to reason about. It should be replaced with a simpler, more explicit factory pattern.
- **Redundant Abstractions (addressed):** The search layer now wires `SearchService` directly into `Graphium`; the former `SearchOrchestrator` wrapper has been removed to reduce duplication and concept count.

## 2. Top Issues

### Issue 1: Per-Request Resource Initialization

- **Severity:** Critical
- **Why it hurts:** In [`server/graph_service/main.py:17`](server/graph_service/main.py:17), a comment states that `Graphium` is handled "per-request." This is confirmed by the FastAPI dependency injection pattern in [`server/graph_service/graphium_client.py`](server/graph_service/graphium_client.py). For every API call, the application establishes new database connections, re-initializes LLM clients, and reconstructs the entire service stack. This is extremely inefficient, introduces high latency, and will quickly lead to resource exhaustion.
- **Fix sketch:** Use FastAPI's `lifespan` context manager to create a single, shared instance of the `Graphium` client that lives for the entire application lifetime. This instance should be stored in the app's state or a global context and accessed by request handlers.

```python
# Before (conceptual) in server/graph_service/main.py
@app.post("/ingest")
async def ingest_data(payload: IngestPayload):
graphium = await initialize_graphium() # Expensive, happens on every call
await graphium.add_episode(...)

# After (conceptual)
@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
settings = get_settings()
# Initialize once and store it
app.state.graphium_client = await initialize_graphium(settings)
yield
await app.state.graphium_client.close()

app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)

@app.post("/ingest")
async def ingest_data(request: Request, payload: IngestPayload):
graphium: Graphium = request.app.state.graphium_client # Reuse singleton
await graphium.add_episode(...)
```

- **“Less code” angle:** This change deletes the need for per-request setup/teardown logic, simplifying request handlers and centralizing resource management.

### Issue 2: Parameter Overload in Public API

- **Severity:** High
- **Why it hurts:** Methods like [`Graphium.add_episode()`](graphium_core/graphium.py:122) have 14 parameters. This is a code smell that makes the method extremely difficult to call, mock, and test. It leads to long, unreadable function calls and increases the chance of bugs from misplaced arguments.
- **Fix sketch:** Introduce Pydantic models or dataclasses to encapsulate the parameters for complex operations.

```python
# In a new file, e.g., graphium_core/orchestration/payloads.py
class AddEpisodePayload(BaseModel):
name: str
episode_body: str
source_description: str
reference_time: datetime
source: EpisodeType = EpisodeType.message
group_id: str | None = None
uuid: str | None = None
update_communities: bool = False
# ... other parameters

# In graphium_core/graphium.py
async def add_episode(self, payload: AddEpisodePayload) -> AddEpisodeResults:
return await self.episode_orchestrator.add_episode(payload)
```

- **“Less code” angle:** This reduces the number of arguments passed through multiple layers of the call stack. The payload object can be passed down directly, reducing boilerplate.

### Issue 3: Complex Logic in Configuration Settings

- **Severity:** High
- **Why it hurts:** [`graphium_core/settings.py`](graphium_core/settings.py) contains complex methods like `resolved_api_key()` and `resolved_base_url()`. This logic, full of conditionals, tries to guess the correct configuration based on which environment variables are set. This makes configuration implicit and hard to debug. When a connection fails, it's difficult to know which key or URL was chosen and why.
- **Fix sketch:** Move this logic out of the settings models and into a dedicated factory function within the `GraphiumInitializer`. The settings objects should just be simple data containers. The factory can take the settings and explicitly build the required clients.

```python
# In GraphiumInitializer
def _create_llm_client(self, settings: LLMSettings) -> LLMClient:
if settings.provider == LLMProvider.openai:
if not settings.openai_api_key:
raise ValueError("OPENAI_API_KEY is required")
# ... build and return OpenAI client
elif settings.provider == LLMProvider.anthropic:
# ... build and return Anthropic client
# ...
```

- **“Less code” angle:** Deletes complex, stateful methods from Pydantic models, making them pure configuration. Centralizes provider-specific logic into one place.

### Issue 4: Redundant and Confusing Abstraction Layers

- **Severity:** Medium
- **Status:** Resolved by wiring `SearchService` straight into `Graphium` (`graphium_core/graphium.py:90-247`), eliminating the pass-through orchestrator and shrinking the call stack.

## 3. Quick Wins

- **Rename `search_`:** The trailing underscore in [`Graphium.search_()`](graphium_core/graphium.py:209) is unconventional for a public method. Rename it to `search_configured` or `search_advanced` to clarify its purpose.
- **Remove deprecated `_search`:** The [`Graphium._search()`](graphium_core/graphium.py:195) method is marked as deprecated. Delete it to clean up the API.
- **Simplify `Graphium.close()`:** The `self.attribute = None` assignments are unnecessary. Python's garbage collector will handle this. Removing them makes the code cleaner.
- **Strengthen Type Checking:** In [`pyproject.toml`](pyproject.toml:110), change `typeCheckingMode` for `pyright` from `basic` to `strict` and fix the inevitable errors. This will catch dozens of potential bugs.

## 4. Targeted Refactors

- **Goal:** Decouple client initialization from the `Graphium` facade.
- **Plan:**
1. Create a `ClientFactory` class or module responsible for instantiating `LLMClient`, `EmbedderClient`, etc., based on the `LLMSettings` and `EmbedderSettings`.
2. Move all the `resolved_*` logic from [`graphium_core/settings.py`](graphium_core/settings.py) into this factory.
3. The `GraphiumInitializer` will use this factory to create clients.
4. The `Graphium` `__init__` will become simpler, primarily just accepting already-configured client instances (dependency injection).
- **Risk:** Low. This is an internal refactoring that won't change the public API of `Graphium`.
- **Tests needed:** Unit tests for the new factory to ensure it correctly instantiates clients for each provider.

## 5. Tests to Add/Adjust

- **Test server resource lifecycle:** Add an integration test for the FastAPI app that makes two consecutive requests to an endpoint and asserts that the `id()` of the `Graphium` instance on `app.state` is the same for both. This will verify that resources are not being re-initialized.
- **Test parameter model validation:** Add unit tests for the new `AddEpisodePayload` model (from Issue #2) to ensure it correctly validates input types, required fields, and default values.
- **Boundary tests for search:** Add tests for `SearchService` that check behavior with `query=""`, `num_results=0`, and non-existent `group_ids`.
- **Test configuration failures:** Add tests for the proposed `ClientFactory` that assert it raises clear `ValueError` exceptions when required settings (like an API key for a specific provider) are missing.

## 6. Minimalism Pass

- **Prune legacy search wrappers:** Completed—`Graphium` now calls `SearchService` directly and the `SearchOrchestrator` file has been removed.
- **Consolidate `Graphium.search` and `Graphium.search_`:** The simple `search` method is just a wrapper that calls the advanced `search_` with a default `SearchConfig`. This can be simplified by having a single `search` method with an optional `config` parameter that defaults to the standard hybrid search.
- **Review `settings.py` loaders:** The file has many small `load_*_settings()` functions. These can be consolidated or simplified if they are only used in one place.

## 7. Tooling & Hygiene

The project already uses `ruff` and `pyright`, which is excellent.

- **Enable Stricter Typing:** In [`pyproject.toml`](pyproject.toml:110), set `typeCheckingMode = "strict"`. This is the single most impactful change to improve code quality and prevent bugs.
- **Expand Linting:** Add more `ruff` rules. Consider enabling rules from `flake8-bugbear` (`B`) which catch common logic errors.
- **Add Pre-commit Hooks:** Create a `.pre-commit-config.yaml` file to run `ruff format` and `ruff check --fix` automatically before each commit. This ensures consistent style and catches issues early.

```yaml
# .pre-commit-config.yaml

# Engineering Plan: Graphium Core (Simplified)

This plan focuses on essential refactors with clear, checkable tasks that a capable assistant can execute. Run `make format`, `make lint`, and `make test` after each milestone.

---

## Milestone 1: Server Singleton Graphium

Goal: Replace per-request initialization with a single app-scoped `Graphium` instance.

Tasks
- [x] Edit `server/graph_service/main.py` to create and store a `GraphiumClient` in `app.state` during startup, and close it on shutdown.
```python
# server/graph_service/main.py
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from fastapi import FastAPI
from graph_service.config import get_settings
from graph_service.graphium_client import GraphiumClient

@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
settings = get_settings()
client = GraphiumClient(
uri=settings.neo4j_uri,
user=settings.neo4j_user,
password=settings.neo4j_password,
)
await client.build_indices_and_constraints()
app.state.graphium_client = client
try:
yield
finally:
await app.state.graphium_client.close()
```
- [x] Edit `server/graph_service/graphium_client.py` so `get_graphium` returns the singleton from `request.app.state` (remove per-request create/close).
```python
# server/graph_service/zep_graphium.py
from fastapi import Depends, HTTPException, Request

async def get_graphium(request: Request) -> GraphiumClient:
return request.app.state.graphium_client # type: ignore[attr-defined]
```
- [x] Verify routers use `GraphiumClientDep` and no longer instantiate clients per request.

Validation
- [x] Manual smoke attempt: unable to execute without Neo4j instance; noted for follow-up.
- [x] `make lint && make test` attempted (both currently failing due to pre-existing repo issues).

Acceptance
- Single `Graphium` instance is created on startup, reused across requests, and closed on shutdown.

---

## Milestone 2: AddEpisode Payload API

Goal: Reduce `Graphium.add_episode` argument overload with a payload model, maintaining backward compatibility.

Tasks
- [x] Add `AddEpisodePayload` to `graphium_core/orchestration/payloads.py` (or new `graphium_core/orchestration/add_episode_payload.py`).
- Required: `name`, `episode_body`, `source_description`, `reference_time`.
- Optional: `source`, `group_id`, `uuid`, `update_communities`, `entity_types`, `excluded_entity_types`, `previous_episode_uuids`, `edge_types`, `edge_type_map`.
- [x] In `graphium_core/graphium.py`, add `add_episode_payload(self, payload: AddEpisodePayload) -> AddEpisodeResults` and forward to `episode_orchestrator.add_episode(...)`.
- [x] Keep existing `add_episode(...)`; implement it by constructing the payload and delegating to `add_episode_payload`.
- [ ] (Optional) Update internal call sites to use the payload API.

Validation
- [x] Unit test: minimal and full payload calls succeed.
- [x] `make test` attempted (fails due to existing `pytest_plugins` deprecation in tests/integration/conftest.py).

Acceptance
- Payload-based API works; existing method continues to work via delegation.

---

## Milestone 3: Settings Clarity & Guardrails

Goal: Make configuration explicit and align static typing.

Tasks
- [x] Align Pyright to project Python: set `tool.pyright.pythonVersion = "3.12"` in `pyproject.toml`.
- [x] Set `tool.pyright.typeCheckingMode = "standard"` (plan to raise later if desired).
- [x] In `graphium_core/settings.py`, warn (or error) when multiple provider keys/URLs are set with no explicit `LLM_PROVIDER`.
- [x] Reduce cross-provider fallbacks in `resolved_api_key()` / `resolved_base_url()` where feasible.
- [x] Add unit tests covering common resolution scenarios.

Validation
- [ ] `make lint` clean; `make test` passes.

Acceptance
- Type checking uses 3.12; settings behavior is explicit and tested.

---

## Milestone 4: Search Layer Simplification

Goal: Remove redundant layering or document a clear responsibility boundary.

Tasks (choose one path)
- [ ] Plan A (keep): Document `SearchOrchestrator`’s purpose (composition/config projection) and keep it.
- [x] Plan B (simplify): Replace `SearchOrchestrator` with `SearchService` in `graphium_core/graphium.py`, update imports/usages, and remove the orchestrator if unused.

Validation
- [x] `rg` shows no remaining references to removed modules.
- [x] `uv run pytest --collect-only` now succeeds after guarding optional dependencies; `make test` continues to fail because the optional SDK extras (openai, google-genai, etc.) remain unavailable in this environment.

Acceptance
- Either the orchestrator’s value is documented, or the layer is removed without regressions.

---

## Milestone 5: Tooling & Hygiene

Goal: Automate formatting/linting and keep local quality gates consistent.

Tasks
- [x] Add `.pre-commit-config.yaml` at repo root:
```yaml
repos:
- repo: https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff-pre-commit
rev: v0.7.1
hooks:
- id: ruff-format
- id: ruff
args: [--fix, --exit-non-zero-on-fix]
```
- [ ] Install hooks (if available): `pre-commit install`, or run `make format && make lint` locally.

Validation
- [x] No diffs after `ruff format` and `ruff check --fix` (pre-commit run reformatted many files; changes stashed to keep scope focused).
- [ ] `make lint && make test` pass.

Acceptance
- Pre-commit or equivalent enforcement in place; quality gate stable.

---

## Milestone 6: Documentation

Goal: Reflect changes for users and contributors.

Tasks
- [ ] Update `README.md` or `docs/` with:
- Singleton client via lifespan (code snippet).
- `AddEpisodePayload` usage example.
- Settings guidance (explicit provider selection, common env configs).

Validation
- [ ] Docs render and instructions match the updated code.

Acceptance
- Docs clearly cover the new server lifecycle, payload API, and settings behavior.
