# React + FastAPI Databricks App Refactoring

## Executive Summary

The Oral Health Policy Pulse has been **completely refactored** from a CLI-based multi-agent system into a **modern full-stack web application** that deploys as a **Databricks App**.

### What Changed

| Before (v1.0) | After (v2.0) |
|---------------|--------------|
| ❌ CLI-only interface | ✅ Modern React web UI |
| ❌ Manual command execution | ✅ Interactive dashboard |
| ❌ Text-based outputs | ✅ Visual charts & maps |
| ❌ Local deployment only | ✅ Cloud-native Databricks Apps |
| ❌ Static HTML heatmap | ✅ Interactive Leaflet map |
| ❌ No user settings | ✅ Configurable UI settings |

---

## New Architecture

### Frontend (React + TypeScript)

**Technology Stack:**
- React 18.2 with TypeScript
- Vite for build tooling
- Tailwind CSS for styling
- React Router for navigation
- TanStack Query for data fetching
- Recharts for data visualization
- Leaflet for interactive maps

**Pages Created:**
1. **Dashboard** (`frontend/src/pages/Dashboard.tsx`)
   - Real-time statistics cards
   - Topic distribution bar/pie charts
   - Recent opportunities table
   
2. **Interactive Heatmap** (`frontend/src/pages/Heatmap.tsx`)
   - Geographic visualization using Leaflet
   - State and topic filters
   - Color-coded urgency markers
   - Popup details for each opportunity
   
3. **Documents Browser** (`frontend/src/pages/Documents.tsx`)
   - Full-text search
   - Pagination
   - Topic tags
   - Direct links to source documents
   
4. **Opportunities Manager** (`frontend/src/pages/Opportunities.tsx`)
   - Filterable list view
   - Urgency-based sorting
   - One-click email generation
   - Talking points display
   - Confidence score visualization
   
5. **Settings Panel** (`frontend/src/pages/Settings.tsx`)
   - Target state configuration
   - Policy topic selection
   - Confidence threshold slider
   - Email notification preferences
   - Agent status monitoring

**Components:**
- **Layout** (`frontend/src/components/Layout.tsx`)
  - Sidebar navigation
  - Header with breadcrumbs
  - Responsive design

### Backend (FastAPI Refactored)

**New File: `api/app.py`**

Completely rewritten FastAPI application optimized for:
- ✅ Serving React static files (SPA routing)
- ✅ REST API endpoints for all frontend interactions
- ✅ Databricks Apps compatibility
- ✅ Delta Lake integration
- ✅ Background task processing
- ✅ CORS support for local development

**Key Endpoints:**
```
GET  /api/health                    # Health check
GET  /api/dashboard                 # Dashboard stats
GET  /api/opportunities             # List opportunities
GET  /api/documents                 # Browse documents
POST /api/workflow/start            # Start analysis
POST /api/advocacy/email/{id}       # Generate email
GET  /api/settings                  # Get settings
PUT  /api/settings                  # Update settings
GET  /api/agents/status             # Agent status
```

**Static File Serving:**
- React build output served from `api/static/`
- SPA routing with catchall route
- Automatic index.html fallback

### Database Layer

**New File: `pipeline/delta_lake_queries.py`**

Added async query methods to support web app:
```python
async def get_dashboard_stats()       # Dashboard statistics
async def query_opportunities()       # Filtered opportunity queries
async def query_documents()           # Document search/pagination
async def count_documents()           # Total count for pagination
async def get_opportunity()           # Single opportunity details
```

## Databricks Apps Integration

### Configuration Files

**1. app.yaml** (Databricks Apps manifest)
```yaml
command:
  - "uvicorn"
  - "api.app:app"
  - "--host"
  - "0.0.0.0"
  - "--port"
  - "8000"

env:
  - name: DATABRICKS_HOST
    valueFrom:
      databricksSecret:
        key: host
        scope: oral-health-app
  - name: OPENAI_API_KEY
    valueFrom:
      databricksSecret:
        key: openai_key
        scope: oral-health-app

resources:
  - name: policy-classifier-endpoint
    modelServing:
      endpoint: policy-classifier-prod

port: 8000
```

**2. Dockerfile.app** (Container image for Databricks Apps)
- Multi-stage build
- Node.js for frontend build
- Python 3.11 for backend
- Optimized for CPU-only deployment

### Deployment Scripts

**1. scripts/deploy-databricks-app.sh**
```bash
# Automated deployment script:
# 1. Build React frontend
# 2. Create Databricks secrets
# 3. Deploy to Databricks Apps
# 4. Provide access URL
```

**2. scripts/setup-local.sh**
```bash
# Local development setup:
# - Install Python deps
# - Install npm packages
# - Create .env file
```

**3. scripts/test-app.py**
```python
# Test production build locally
# Simulates Databricks Apps environment
```

3. **Full migration** - Switch to web-only when ready

**Backward Compatibility:**
- All CLI commands still work
- Original API endpoints unchanged
- Can run standalone or web mode

### For New Users

**Start with Web UI:**
1. Deploy to Databricks Apps
2. Access via browser
3. No CLI needed!
