|
| ## 1. Dependency Graph (strict one-way) |
|
|
| ``` |
| ┌──────────┐ |
| │ API │ FastAPI routes + middleware |
| └────┬─────┘ |
| │ |
| ┌────▼─────┐ |
| │ Services │ business logic (8 services) |
| └────┬─────┘ |
| │ |
| ┌──────────────┼──────────────┐ |
| │ │ │ |
| ┌────▼─────┐ ┌────▼─────┐ ┌─────▼──────┐ |
| │ Orchest. │ │ Confid. │ │ Normaliz. │ |
| └────┬─────┘ └────┬─────┘ └─────┬──────┘ |
| │ │ │ |
| └─────────────┼──────────────┘ |
| │ |
| ┌────▼─────┐ |
| │ Pipeline │ validation → preprocess → hash → feature_extract |
| └────┬─────┘ |
| │ |
| ┌────▼─────┐ |
| │ Providers│ detection / recognition / scraper / reverse |
| └────┬─────┘ |
| │ |
| ┌────▼─────┐ |
| │ Storage │ database / cache / artifacts / reference_store |
| └────┬─────┘ |
| │ |
| ┌────▼─────┐ |
| │ Utils │ image / http / audit / timing / logging |
| └────┬─────┘ |
| │ |
| ┌────▼─────┐ |
| │ Models │ shared domain DTOs (pure pydantic, no deps) |
| └──────────┘ |
| ``` |
|
|
| **Rule:** arrows point downward. A layer may import only from layers |
| below it. `models/` is at the bottom and depends on nothing but pydantic |
| + stdlib. No circular imports — verified by `scripts/check_imports.py`. |
|
|
| **Cross-cutting:** `config/` (settings) is read by every layer but is a |
| value object, not stateful. `metrics/` is consumed by orchestrator + |
| services + API but owns no upstream dependencies. |
|
|
| --- |
|
|
| ## 2. Package Responsibilities |
|
|
| | Package | Responsibility | Key Exports | |
| |---|---|---| |
| | `config/` | Environment-driven settings (Pydantic BaseSettings) | `Settings`, `make_settings()` | |
| | `models/` | Shared domain DTOs (pure pydantic, no logic) | `Job`, `JobRequest`, `UnifiedFaceReport`, `ProviderInfo`, `HealthSnapshot`, `APIResponse` | |
| | `utils/` | Stateless helpers: image I/O, HTTP session, audit log, timing, structured logging | `bytes_to_numpy`, `shared_session`, `audit_log`, `execution_context`, `setup_logging` | |
| | `storage/` | Persistence: SQLite (jobs), TTL cache, file artifacts, reference gallery | `Database`, `Cache`, `ArtifactStore`, `ReferenceStore` | |
| | `metrics/` | Per-provider latency/success/retry counters, timings, health, cache hit ratio | `MetricsCollector` (facade) | |
| | `providers/` | Provider Protocol + BaseProvider + Registry + 4 capability folders | `Provider`, `BaseProvider`, `ProviderRegistry`, `PROVIDER_MANIFEST` | |
| | `pipeline/` | Local pre-orchestrator stages: validate → preprocess → hash → feature-extract → postprocess | `InputValidator`, `ImagePreprocessor`, `ImageHasher`, `FeatureExtractor`, `PipelineOutput` | |
| | `orchestrator/` | Async fan-out, retry, circuit breaker | `Orchestrator`, `RetryPolicy`, `HealthMonitor` | |
| | `normalization/` | Merge multi-provider results into unified report; internal DTOs only | `ReportMerger`, `NormalizedBox`, `NormalizedMatch` | |
| | `confidence/` | Explainable scoring + cross-provider conflict detection | `ConfidenceEngine`, `ConflictDetector`, `Explainer` | |
| | `services/` | Business logic; one service per concern | `DetectionService`, `RecognitionService`, `SearchService`, `JobService`, `ProviderService`, `CacheService`, `HealthService`, `ExportService` | |
| | `api/` | FastAPI app, DI container, middleware, route handlers | `create_app()`, `ServiceContainer`, `build_container()` | |
| | `ui/` | Static SPA (served by FastAPI) | — | |
| | `tests/` | Unit + provider + integration test suites | — | |
|
|

|
|
| ## 3. Execution Flow |
|
|
| ``` |
| HTTP request |
| │ |
| ▼ |
| FastAPI middleware: request-id → rate-limit → CORS |
| │ |
| ▼ |
| Route handler (api/routes/<resource>.py) |
| │ depends( get_<service> ) → pulls service off app.state.container |
| ▼ |
| Service (services/<name>_service.py) |
| │ 1. InputValidator.validate(image_url|base64|bytes) |
| │ 2. ImagePreprocessor.from_url|from_bytes → PreprocessedImage |
| │ 3. ImageHasher.hash → cache key |
| │ 4. FeatureExtractor.extract → PipelineOutput |
| │ (image + hash + face_crops + optional gallery/scrape_url) |
| │ 5. Orchestrator.run(pipeline_output, capabilities) |
| │ 6. ReportMerger.merge(results) → UnifiedFaceReport |
| │ 7. return {report, elapsed_ms} |
| ▼ |
| Orchestrator (orchestrator/runner.py) |
| │ for each provider matching capabilities: |
| │ - skip if circuit breaker open |
| │ - check cache; hit → return cached ProviderResult |
| │ - else: asyncio.to_thread(provider.execute(pipeline_output)) |
| │ - apply RetryPolicy (exponential backoff + jitter) |
| │ - record metrics (latency, success/failure, retries) |
| │ - cache successful results |
| ▼ |
| Provider (providers/<category>/<name>.py) |
| │ receives PipelineOutput |
| │ extracts .image / .face_crops / .gallery / .scrape_url |
| │ runs its model / HTTP call |
| │ returns ProviderResult(raw=verbatim, normalized={...}, elapsed_ms, success) |
| ▼ |
| Normalization (normalization/merger.py) |
| │ collects NormalizedBox / NormalizedMatch / NormalizedScrapeImage / NormalizedReverseMatch |
| │ preserves every ProviderResult as Evidence |
| │ delegates scoring to ConfidenceEngine |
| │ delegates conflicts to ConflictDetector |
| │ returns UnifiedFaceReport |
| ▼ |
| Response → JSON to client |
| ``` |
|

|
|
| ### 4.2 Request Lifecycle |
|
|
| ``` |
| 1. HTTP request hits FastAPI |
| 2. RequestContextMiddleware → assigns X-Request-ID, starts timer |
| 3. RateLimitMiddleware → enforces per-IP limit (sliding 60s window) |
| 4. Route handler → Depends(get_<service>) pulls from container |
| 5. Service → runs pipeline → orchestrator → normalization → confidence |
| 6. Orchestrator → per-provider: cache check → retry-wrapped invoke → metrics |
| 7. Provider → executes within execution_context(provider_id=...) |
| 8. Result flows back up: ProviderResult → UnifiedFaceReport → JSON response |
| 9. Response headers → X-Request-ID, X-Response-Time-ms |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### 4.3 Circuit Breaker Lifecycle |
|
|
| ``` |
| provider.invoke() succeeds |
| │ |
| ▼ |
| HealthMetrics.record_success(name) |
| │ → consecutive_failures = 0 |
| │ → avg_latency_ms = exp-avg |
| │ → if circuit_open: close it |
| ▼ |
| circuit stays CLOSED |
| |
| |
| provider.invoke() fails |
| │ |
| ▼ |
| HealthMetrics.record_failure(name) |
| │ → consecutive_failures += 1 |
| │ → if consecutive_failures >= threshold AND not circuit_open: |
| │ circuit_open = True |
| │ circuit_opened_at = now() |
| ▼ |
| circuit OPEN → orchestrator skips this provider |
| until recovery_seconds elapsed |
| |
| |
| next invoke attempt after recovery_seconds |
| │ |
| ▼ |
| HealthMetrics.is_circuit_open(name) |
| │ → if circuit_open AND now - opened_at > recovery_seconds: |
| │ circuit_open = False (half-open) |
| │ return False (allow attempt) |
| ▼ |
| provider gets one trial invoke |
| success → circuit stays closed |
| failure → circuit re-opens |
| ``` |

|
| ## 5. Extension Guide — Adding a New Provider |
|
|
| Adding a provider requires **two changes** and **zero orchestrator/API edits**. |
|
|
| ### Step 1 — Implement the provider |
|
|
| Create `providers/<category>/<your_provider>.py`: |
|
|
| ```python |
| from __future__ import annotations |
| from config.settings import Settings, settings as _default |
| from pipeline.feature_extraction import PipelineOutput |
| from providers.base import BaseProvider, ProviderCapability, ProviderResult |
| |
| |
| class YourProvider(BaseProvider): |
| name = "your_provider" |
| capability = ProviderCapability.DETECTION # or RECOGNITION / SCRAPING / REVERSE_SEARCH |
| |
| def __init__(self, settings: Settings | None = None) -> None: |
| super().__init__(settings=settings or _default) |
| # ... initialize your model / client |
| |
| def is_available(self) -> bool: |
| # Return False if optional deps or API keys are missing. |
| return True |
| |
| def _run(self, pipeline_output: PipelineOutput) -> tuple[dict, dict]: |
| img = pipeline_output.image # extract what you need |
| # ... do your work |
| raw = {"...": ...} # verbatim response (preserved as evidence) |
| normalized = { |
| "boxes": [{"x": 0, "y": 0, "w": 0, "h": 0}], |
| "num_faces": 1, |
| "confidences": [0.95], |
| "landmarks": None, |
| } |
| return raw, normalized |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Step 2 — Add one manifest entry |
|
|
| Edit `providers/registry.py`: |
|
|
| ```python |
| PROVIDER_MANIFEST: list[ManifestEntry] = [ |
| # ... existing entries ... |
| ManifestEntry( |
| name="your_provider", |
| module_path="providers.detection.your_provider", |
| class_name="YourProvider", |
| capability=ProviderCapability.DETECTION, |
| enable_flag="enable_your_provider", |
| description="Your provider — one-line description", |
| optional_dependency=True, # set True if it imports an optional package |
| ), |
| ] |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Step 3 — Add the enable flag |
|
|
| Edit `config/settings.py`: |
|
|
| ```python |
| enable_your_provider: bool = False |
| # ... any tuning knobs your provider needs, e.g.: |
| your_provider_threshold: float = 0.7 |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Step 4 — Done |
|
|
| - The registry auto-discovers your provider on startup. |
| - The orchestrator invokes it for matching capability queries. |
| - `/providers` lists it automatically. |
| - `/stats` tracks its latency, success rate, retries. |
| - The circuit breaker protects against its failures. |
| - The cache dedupes identical invocations. |
|
|
| **No other file needs to change.** This is the core extensibility guarantee. |
|
|
| --- |
|
|
| ## 6. Dependency Injection |
|
|
| ### Principle |
|
|
| > No global objects for stateful services. Inject services, storage, |
| > metrics, cache, and orchestrator through constructors. |
|
|
| ### Composition Root |
|
|
| `api/container.py::build_container()` is the **only** place where |
| services are constructed. It runs once at app startup and stores the |
| `ServiceContainer` on `app.state.container`. |
|
|
| ### How Routes Receive Services |
|
|
| ```python |
| # api/routes/faces.py |
| from fastapi import Depends |
| from api.deps import get_detection_service |
| |
| @router.post("/detect") |
| async def detect_faces(req: FaceRequest, |
| svc: DetectionService = Depends(get_detection_service)): |
| return await svc.detect(job_req) |
| ``` |
|
|
| `get_detection_service` is a thin wrapper: |
|
|
| ```python |
| # api/deps.py |
| def get_detection_service(request: Request): |
| return get_container(request).detection_service |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Why This Matters |
|
|
| - **Testability:** tests construct a container with `:memory:` DB, disabled |
| network providers, and assert against the same code path as production. |
| - **No hidden state:** every dependency is visible in the constructor |
| signature — no surprise module-level singletons. |
| - **Easy overrides:** swap any component (cache, DB, registry) by |
| constructing a custom container in tests or for feature flags. |
|
|

|
|
| ## 7. Structured Logging |
|
|
| Every log line produced inside an execution carries: |
|
|
| ``` |
| 2026-07-10 14:30:00.123 | INFO | eid=abc123def456 | pid=haar | retry=0 | status=started | invoking haar |
| ``` |
|
|
| | Field | Source | Meaning | |
| |---|---|---| |
| | `eid` | `execution_context(execution_id=...)` | Unique id for the top-level job | |
| | `pid` | `execution_context(provider_id=...)` | Provider name (or `-` for service-level logs) | |
| | `retry` | `execution_context(retry_count=...)` | Retry attempt number (0 = first try) | |
| | `status` | updated via the context dict | `started` → `running` → `success` / `failed` / `retried` | |
|
|
| ### Usage |
|
|
| ```python |
| from utils.logging import execution_context, new_execution_id |
| |
| async def my_handler(): |
| eid = new_execution_id() |
| with execution_context(execution_id=eid, provider_id="my_service"): |
| logger.info("started") # → eid=…, pid=my_service, status=started |
| # ... do work ... |
| logger.info("completed") # → same eid + pid |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### JSON Mode |
|
|
| Set `FI_LOG_JSON=true` to emit newline-delimited JSON for log |
| aggregators (Loki, Datadog, CloudWatch): |
|
|
| ```json |
| {"timestamp":"2026-07-10T14:30:00.123Z","level":"INFO","execution_id":"abc123def456","provider_id":"haar","retry_count":0,"status":"started","message":"invoking haar"} |
| ``` |
|
|
| --- |
|
|
| ## 8. Metrics Subsystem |
|
|
| `metrics/` tracks six categories consumed by `/stats` and the UI: |
|
|
| | Subsystem | What it tracks | Where it's recorded | |
| |---|---|---| |
| | `ProviderMetrics` | per-provider invocations, successes, failures, retries, latency samples | orchestrator after each provider call | |
| | `TimingCollector` | per-operation duration histograms (p50, p95) | services record `job.detection`, `job.recognition`, `job.search` | |
| | `CounterRegistry` | global counters (cache.hits, cache.misses, retries.<provider>, failures.<provider>, jobs.<kind>.completed) | orchestrator + services | |
| | `HealthMetrics` | per-provider consecutive failures, avg latency, circuit-breaker state | orchestrator via HealthMonitor | |
|
|
| `MetricsCollector` is a facade that owns all four — injected as a single |
| object so services don't depend on four separate classes. |
|
|
| `GET /stats` returns the full snapshot: |
|
|
| ```json |
| { |
| "providers": [{"name": "haar", "invocations": 42, "successes": 41, "failures": 1, "retries": 0, "avg_latency_ms": 6.2, "p95_latency_ms": 12.4, "success_rate": 0.976}], |
| "timings": {"job.detection": {"count": 42, "avg_ms": 14.3, "p50_ms": 12.0, "p95_ms": 28.1}}, |
| "counters": {"cache.hits": 18, "cache.misses": 24, "jobs.detection.completed": 42}, |
| "health": [{"name": "haar", "consecutive_failures": 0, "avg_latency_ms": 6.2, "circuit_open": false}] |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| --- |
|
|
| ## 9. REST API Surface |

| |---|---|---| |
| | `GET` | `/health` | Liveness probe | |
| | `GET` | `/health/live` | Liveness | |

|
|
| ## 11. Verification |
|
|
| The refactor has been smoke-tested end-to-end: |
|
|
| ``` |
| ✓ All 11 layers import cleanly — no circular dependencies |
| ✓ DI container builds with all 15 manifest entries registered |
| ✓ FastAPI app boots with 32 routes |
| ✓ End-to-end detection job runs: pipeline → orchestrator → haar → normalization → confidence → report |
| ✓ Haar provider correctly receives PipelineOutput (not raw numpy) |
| ✓ Evidence preserved with raw + normalized + elapsed_ms + success |
| ✓ Confidence engine produces explainable sub-scores |
| ✓ Metrics subsystem records invocations, successes, timings |
| ✓ Circuit-breaker state queryable via /health/providers |
| ``` |
|
|
| --- |
|
|
| ## 12. What's Next |
|
|
| The refactor establishes the production-grade skeleton. The remaining |
| work from the original 10-phase plan: |
|
|
| - **Phase 3 (continued):** implement the 14 remaining provider modules |
| (dnn, mtcnn, retinaface, face_recognition, deepface, insightface, |
| beautifulsoup, selenium, bing, duckduckgo, google_lens, serpapi, |
| yandex, tineye). Each follows the `haar.py` pattern — ~50 LOC. |
| - **Phase 8:** build the UI SPA in `ui/static/`. |
| - **Phase 9:** write the test suites in `tests/`. |
| - **Phase 10:** provider-specific docs, deployment, benchmarks. |
|
|
| The architecture will not need to change for any of these — only |
| additions within existing packages. |
|
|
