+*Upload documents, ask questions, get answers grounded in source material with automated hallucination detection and self-correction.*
+
+## 🎯 Overview
+
+Agentic Corrective RAG is a production-grade document Q&A system that combines advanced retrieval techniques with intelligent agent reasoning. Unlike naive RAG systems that often hallucinate, this system automatically validates every answer against source material and retries up to 3 times if validation fails.
+
+### ⚡ Core Features

+```
+
+### Component Breakdown
+
+#### 1. **Ingestion (`ingestion.py`)**
+Converts documents to searchable indexes
+
+```python
+def ingest_documents(file_path: str) -> Dict:
+    """
+    Input: PDF or TXT file
+    Process:
+      1. Extract text with PyMuPDF or plain read
+      2. Split into 512-token chunks (20-token overlap)
+      3. Generate embeddings (all-MiniLM-L6-v2)
+      4. Create FAISS dense index
+      5. Create BM25 sparse index
+    Output: Ready for retrieval
+    """
+```
+
+**Supported Formats:**
+- PDF (single/multi-page)
+- TXT (plain text)
+- Auto-detects and routes to correct parser
+
+#### 2. **Retriever (`retriever.py`)**
+Hybrid search with intelligent ranking
+
+```python
+def hybrid_retrieve(query: str, k: int = 5) -> List[Chunk]:
+    """
+    Process:
+      1. Dense retrieval: FAISS semantic search (top 10)
+      2. Sparse retrieval: BM25 keyword search (top 10)
+      3. RRF Fusion: Merge and rank by reciprocal rank
+      4. Cross-Encoder: Re-rank top-5 using semantic + lexical
+    Output: Top-k chunks with scores
+    """
+```
+
+**Fusion Algorithm (RRF):**
+```
+For each document d:
+  score(d) = Σ(1 / (rank_dense(d) + k)) + Σ(1 / (rank_sparse(d) + k))
+  
+Where k=60 (typical offset to avoid division by zero)
+```
+
+#### 3. **Agent (`agent.py`)**
+Self-correcting reasoning loop using LangGraph
+
+```python
+class CorrectiveRAGAgent:
+    """
+    State machine with 4 nodes:
+    
+    Generate Node:
+      - Takes query + top-3 chunks
+      - Calls LLaMA 3.3 70B
+      - Returns answer + initial confidence
+    
+    Validate Node:
+      - Takes answer + source chunks
+      - Calls validation LLM (fact-checking)
+      - Checks: Is answer grounded? All claims supported?
+      - Returns verdict (PASS/FAIL)
+    
+    Retry Logic:
+      - If PASS → End, return answer
+      - If FAIL and retry_count < 3:
+        → Inform agent of failure reason
+        → Re-retrieve with modified query
+        → Regenerate answer
+      - If 3 retries exhausted → Return best attempt
+    
+    Output Node:
+      - Formats response
+      - Includes source chunks
+      - Validation verdict
+      - Retry count
+    """
+```
+
+#### 4. **FastAPI Backend (`main.py`)**
+REST API orchestrating the full pipeline
+
+```python
+@app.post("/upload")
+async def upload_document(file: UploadFile) -> Dict:
+    """
+    - Receives PDF/TXT file
+    - Calls ingestion pipeline
+    - Returns: {status, message, doc_size, chunk_count}
+    """
+
+@app.post("/query")
+async def query_documents(query: str, session_id: str) -> Dict:
+    """
+    - Receives question
+    - Runs corrective agent
+    - Returns:
+      {
+        "answer": str,
+        "source_chunks": [chunk1, chunk2, chunk3],
+        "validation_verdict": "PASS" or "FAIL",
+        "retry_count": 0-3,
+        "confidence": 0.0-1.0
+      }
+    """
+```

+   - Confirms Groq API is reachable
+   - Tests actual LLM inference
+   - Validates response format
+
+✅ test_retrieval_quality
+   - Uploads test document
+   - Queries for information
+   - Verifies retrieved chunks contain answer
+
+✅ test_agent_hallucination_detection
+   - Forces out-of-context query
+   - Confirms validation catches hallucination
+   - Checks retry mechanism
+```
+
+**Run locally (requires API key):**
+```bash
+export GROQ_API_KEY=your_key
+pytest tests/test_integration.py -v -m integration
+```
+
+### CI/CD Test Strategy
+
+**GitHub Actions:**
+```yaml
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+      - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+      - run: pip install -r requirements.txt
+      - run: pytest tests/test_unit.py -v
+        # ✅ Unit tests run (fast, no API)
+      - run: pytest tests/test_integration.py -v -m "not integration"
+        # ✅ Integration tests skip (expensive API calls)
+```
+
+**Key Insight:** Tests marked with `@pytest.mark.integration` are automatically skipped in CI but run locally with API key. This prevents wasting API credits while maintaining code quality.

+## 🎓 What I Learned
+
+✅ **Advanced Retrieval**
+- Hybrid search (dense + sparse) outperforms single modality
+- RRF fusion effectively combines different ranking signals
+- Cross-encoders improve precision over bi-encoders
+- Trade-off: reranking adds latency but improves quality
+
+✅ **Agent-Based Reasoning**
+- State machines (LangGraph) cleanly express retry logic
+- Validation is critical for production RAG systems
+- Feedback loops enable graceful degradation
+- Session memory prevents repeated errors
+
+✅ **Production ML System Design**
+- Test separation (unit vs. integration) reduces CI/CD costs
+- Configuration as code improves reproducibility
+- Synchronous indexing ensures consistency
+- Proper error handling for external API calls
+
+✅ **LLM Integration**
+- Groq API's speed enables interactive applications
+- Temperature tuning affects consistency vs. creativity
+- Prompt engineering for specific tasks (validation vs. generation)
+- Cost-benefit of multi-turn API calls
+
+✅ **Full-Stack Web Development**
+- FastAPI for modern async backends
+- Static HTML/JS for simple UIs
+- Docker for reproducible deployments
+- GitHub Actions for automated testing and CI/CD

 ## 🎯 Overview
 
 Agentic Corrective RAG is a production-grade document Q&A system that combines advanced retrieval techniques with intelligent agent reasoning. Unlike naive RAG systems that often hallucinate, this system automatically validates every answer against source material and retries up to 3 times if validation fails.

-> A production-aware document Q&A system that answers questions **only from your uploaded documents** — not from the model's imagination. Built with hybrid retrieval, cross-encoder reranking, and a self-correcting LangGraph agent that automatically retries if the answer isn't grounded in the source material.

-## Setup
+### Component Breakdown
+
+#### 1. **Ingestion (`ingestion.py`)**
+Converts documents to searchable indexes
+
+```python
+def ingest_documents(file_path: str) -> Dict:
+    """
+    Input: PDF or TXT file
+    Process:
+      1. Extract text with PyMuPDF or plain read
+      2. Split into 512-token chunks (20-token overlap)
+      3. Generate embeddings (all-MiniLM-L6-v2)
+      4. Create FAISS dense index
+      5. Create BM25 sparse index
+    Output: Ready for retrieval
+    """
+```
 
-### 1. Clone the repo
+**Supported Formats:**
+- PDF (single/multi-page)
+- TXT (plain text)
+- Auto-detects and routes to correct parser
+
+#### 2. **Retriever (`retriever.py`)**
+Hybrid search with intelligent ranking
+
+```python
+def hybrid_retrieve(query: str, k: int = 5) -> List[Chunk]:
+    """
+    Process:
+      1. Dense retrieval: FAISS semantic search (top 10)
+      2. Sparse retrieval: BM25 keyword search (top 10)
+      3. RRF Fusion: Merge and rank by reciprocal rank
+      4. Cross-Encoder: Re-rank top-5 using semantic + lexical
+    Output: Top-k chunks with scores
+    """
+```
 
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/Hitan547/agentic-corrective-rag.git
-cd agentic-corrective-rag
+**Fusion Algorithm (RRF):**
+```
+For each document d:
+  score(d) = Σ(1 / (rank_dense(d) + k)) + Σ(1 / (rank_sparse(d) + k))
+  
+Where k=60 (typical offset to avoid division by zero)
+```
+
+#### 3. **Agent (`agent.py`)**
+Self-correcting reasoning loop using LangGraph
+
+```python
+class CorrectiveRAGAgent:
+    """
+    State machine with 4 nodes:
+    
+    Generate Node:
+      - Takes query + top-3 chunks
+      - Calls LLaMA 3.3 70B
+      - Returns answer + initial confidence
+    
+    Validate Node:
+      - Takes answer + source chunks
+      - Calls validation LLM (fact-checking)
+      - Checks: Is answer grounded? All claims supported?
+      - Returns verdict (PASS/FAIL)
+    
+    Retry Logic:
+      - If PASS → End, return answer
+      - If FAIL and retry_count < 3:
+        → Inform agent of failure reason
+        → Re-retrieve with modified query
+        → Regenerate answer

+### CI/CD Test Strategy
+
+**GitHub Actions:**
+```yaml
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+      - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+      - run: pip install -r requirements.txt
+      - run: pytest tests/test_unit.py -v
+        # ✅ Unit tests run (fast, no API)
+      - run: pytest tests/test_integration.py -v -m "not integration"
+        # ✅ Integration tests skip (expensive API calls)
+```
+
+**Key Insight:** Tests marked with `@pytest.mark.integration` are automatically skipped in CI but run locally with API key. This prevents wasting API credits while maintaining code quality.

+## 🎓 What I Learned
+
+✅ **Advanced Retrieval**
+- Hybrid search (dense + sparse) outperforms single modality
+- RRF fusion effectively combines different ranking signals
+- Cross-encoders improve precision over bi-encoders
+- Trade-off: reranking adds latency but improves quality
+
+✅ **Agent-Based Reasoning**
+- State machines (LangGraph) cleanly express retry logic
+- Validation is critical for production RAG systems
+- Feedback loops enable graceful degradation
+- Session memory prevents repeated errors
+
+✅ **Production ML System Design**
+- Test separation (unit vs. integration) reduces CI/CD costs
+- Configuration as code improves reproducibility
+- Synchronous indexing ensures consistency
+- Proper error handling for external API calls
+
+✅ **LLM Integration**
+- Groq API's speed enables interactive applications
+- Temperature tuning affects consistency vs. creativity
+- Prompt engineering for specific tasks (validation vs. generation)
+- Cost-benefit of multi-turn API calls
+
+✅ **Full-Stack Web Development**
+- FastAPI for modern async backends
+- Static HTML/JS for simple UIs
+- Docker for reproducible deployments
+- GitHub Actions for automated testing and CI/CD

+
+## 🤝 Contributing
 
-## How the Agent Works
+This is a portfolio project. Contributions are welcome!
 
-1. **Generate** — LLaMA 3.3 70B answers using only the retrieved chunks
-2. **Validate** — a second LLM call checks if every claim is supported by the context
-3. **Retry** — if validation fails, the agent retries with the failure reason as feedback
-4. **Stop** — returns the answer after PASS or after 3 retries
+**Ideas for enhancement:**
+- [ ] Add multi-document support (merge indexes)
+- [ ] Implement persistent vector DB (Pinecone/Weaviate)
+- [ ] Add citation highlighting in frontend
+- [ ] Implement streaming responses with Server-Sent Events
+- [ ] Add support for images (multimodal embeddings)

-- **No index persistence** — indexes are stored in-memory and reset on redeploy. Re-upload your document after each redeploy on free hosting.
-- **Free tier cold starts** — HF Spaces free tier may take 30–60 seconds to wake up after inactivity.
-- **Single document at a time** — uploading a new document replaces the previous index.

+![Framework](https://img.shields.io/badge/framework-LangGraph-green)
+
+> A production-aware document Q&A system that answers questions **only from your uploaded documents** — not from the model's imagination. Built with hybrid retrieval, cross-encoder reranking, and a self-correcting LangGraph agent that automatically retries if the answer isn't grounded in the source material.

+## Key Features
+
+- **Hybrid Search** — combines FAISS semantic search and BM25 keyword search, fused with Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF)
+- **Cross-Encoder Reranking** — re-scores top candidates by reading query + chunk together for higher precision
+- **Self-Correcting Agent** — LangGraph pipeline automatically detects hallucinations and retries up to 3 times
+- **Hallucination Validation** — a second LLM call checks every answer against the source context before returning it
+- **Session Memory** — remembers last 5 turns of conversation per session
+- **Synchronous Indexing** — reliable document ingestion that completes before returning a response
+- **CI/CD** — unit tests run automatically on every push via GitHub Actions

+### 3. Set up environment
+
+```bash
+echo "GROQ_API_KEY=your_key_here" > .env
+```
+
+Get your free API key at [console.groq.com](https://console.groq.com)
+
+### 4. Run the backend
+
+```bash
+uvicorn main:app --reload --port 8000
+```
+
+### 5. Open the frontend
+
+Open `ui/index.html` in your browser, or serve it locally:
+
+```bash
+python -m http.server 3000
+# Visit http://localhost:3000/ui/index.html
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Unit tests (fast, no API needed)
+python -m pytest tests/test_unit.py -v
+
+# Integration tests (requires GROQ_API_KEY)
+python -m pytest tests/test_integration.py -v -m integration
+```
+
+## How the Agent Works
+
+1. **Generate** — LLaMA 3.3 70B answers using only the retrieved chunks
+2. **Validate** — a second LLM call checks if every claim is supported by the context
+3. **Retry** — if validation fails, the agent retries with the failure reason as feedback
+4. **Stop** — returns the answer after PASS or after 3 retries
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+| Method | Endpoint | Description |
+|--------|----------|-------------|
+| `GET` | `/` | Health check |
+| `GET` | `/health` | Returns API status + index state |
+| `POST` | `/upload` | Upload and index a PDF or TXT file |
+| `POST` | `/query` | Ask a question, get a grounded answer |
+| `DELETE` | `/session/{id}` | Clear conversation history |
+| `GET` | `/docs` | Interactive Swagger UI |
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Required | Description |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| `GROQ_API_KEY` | ✅ Yes | Your Groq API key from console.groq.com |
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+- **No index persistence** — indexes are stored in-memory and reset on redeploy. Re-upload your document after each redeploy on free hosting.
+- **Free tier cold starts** — HF Spaces free tier may take 30–60 seconds to wake up after inactivity.
+- **Single document at a time** — uploading a new document replaces the previous index.
+
+## Deployment
+
+This project is deployed as two separate services on Hugging Face Spaces:
+
+- **Backend** (`agentic-corrective-rag`) — FastAPI app running in a Docker container
+- **Frontend** (`agentic-corrective-rag-ui`) — Static HTML/JS served via HF Static Space
