## Data Flow 📊

### Upload Flow
```
User Upload
    ↓
Browser → POST /api/upload
    ↓
Flask receive file → Save to disk
    ↓
Queue async thread
    ↓
Return 200 OK (immediately)
    ↓
Background: Extract text
    ↓
Background: Chunk text
    ↓
Background: Build graph
    ↓
Background: Generate embeddings
    ↓
Frontend polls GET /api/documents
    ↓
Document shows "ready" status
    ↓
Graph image available
```

### Query Flow
```
User Query
    ↓
Browser → POST /api/query
    ↓
Embed query text
    ↓
Calculate cosine similarity with chunks
    ↓
Select top 3 similar chunks
    ↓
Send to Groq API with context
    ↓
Groq generates answer
    ↓
Return to frontend
    ↓
Display in chat
```

## Development Workflow

### Local Development

```bash
# Setup
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run
export GROQ_API_KEY=your_key
python app.py

# Access
http://localhost:7860

# Debug
tail -f app.log
# or set FLASK_ENV=development for auto-reload
```

### Docker Development

```bash
# Build
docker build -t graph-rag .

# Run with logs
docker run -p 7860:7860 \
  -e GROQ_API_KEY=your_key \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \
  graph-rag

# Or use Compose
docker-compose up --build
```

### Testing

```bash
# See TESTING.md for detailed test cases
# Quick test: manual UI testing
# Run: navigate to http://localhost:7860
# Steps: upload → visualize → query
```

## Customization Points

### Easy Customizations

1. **Styling**: Edit `templates/index.html` CSS section (lines 15-300)
2. **Colors**: Change `#667eea` to your brand color (all occurrences)
3. **Title**: Change "Graph RAG Chatbot" in HTML title and headers
4. **Icons**: Replace emoji with SVG icons
5. **Fonts**: Add Google Fonts in `<head>`

### Moderate Customizations

1. **Chunk Size**: `app.py` line 66
2. **Embedding Model**: `app.py` line 27
3. **LLM Model**: `app.py` line 153
4. **Similarity Threshold**: `app.py` line 164
5. **Graph Layout**: `app.py` NetworkX spring_layout parameters

### Advanced Customizations

1. **Database**: Replace in-memory `documents_state` with PostgreSQL
2. **Vector Storage**: Add ChromaDB or Pinecone
3. **Authentication**: Add user login with Flask-Login
4. **Caching**: Add Redis for embedding cache
5. **Monitoring**: Add Prometheus metrics

## Security Considerations

### API Security
- ✅ No API authentication (add if needed)
- ✅ CORS enabled (all origins)
- ✅ File size limit: 50MB
- ✅ Groq API key not exposed to frontend

### Data Security
- ✅ Files stored server-side only
- ✅ No sensitive data logging
- ✅ Uploaded files deleted on request
- ⚠️  No encryption at rest (add for sensitive data)

### Deployment Security
- ✅ Python 3.11-slim base (minimal OS)
- ✅ No root user in container
- ✅ .env not committed
- ✅ Health checks enabled

## Known Limitations

1. **Storage**: Ephemeral (HF Spaces free tier)
   - Solution: Upgrade to persistent storage

2. **Processing Speed**: Single machine
   - Solution: Use GPU tier or distributed processing

3. **Concurrency**: Threading (Python GIL)
   - Solution: Use Gunicorn with multiple workers

4. **Graph Complexity**: Limited to 500 nodes
   - Solution: Implement hierarchical graph layouts

5. **API Rate Limits**: Groq free tier 30req/min
   - Solution: Implement caching or upgrade plan
