P3 Tech Debt: Modal Integration Removal

Date: 2025-12-04 Status: OPEN - Tech Debt (Future Roadmap) Severity: P3 (Tech Debt - Not blocking functionality) Component: Multiple files

Executive Summary

Modal (cloud function execution platform) is integrated throughout the codebase but was decided against for this project. This creates potential confusion and dead code paths that should be cleaned up when time permits.

Affected Files

The following files contain Modal references:

File Usage
src/utils/config.py MODAL_TOKEN_ID, MODAL_TOKEN_SECRET settings
src/utils/service_loader.py Modal service initialization
src/services/llamaindex_rag.py Modal integration for RAG
src/agents/code_executor_agent.py Modal sandbox execution
src/utils/exceptions.py Modal-related exceptions
src/tools/code_execution.py Modal code execution tool
src/services/statistical_analyzer.py Modal statistical analysis
src/mcp_tools.py Modal MCP tool wrappers
src/agents/analysis_agent.py Modal analysis agent

Context

Modal was originally integrated for:

  1. Code Execution Sandbox: Running untrusted code in isolated containers
  2. Statistical Analysis: Offloading heavy statistical computations
  3. LlamaIndex RAG: Premium embeddings with persistent storage

However, the project decided against Modal because:

  • Added infrastructure complexity
  • Free Tier doesn't need cloud functions
  • Paid Tier uses OpenAI directly

Recommended Fix

  1. Remove Modal-related code from all affected files
  2. Remove MODAL_TOKEN_ID and MODAL_TOKEN_SECRET from config
  3. Remove Modal from dependencies in pyproject.toml
  4. Update any documentation referencing Modal

Impact If Not Fixed

  • Confusion for new contributors
  • Dead code in production
  • Unnecessary dependencies
  • Config settings that do nothing

Test Plan

  1. Remove Modal code
  2. Run make check to ensure no breakage
  3. Verify Free Tier and Paid Tier still work
  4. Search codebase for any remaining Modal references
