# API Enhancements Summary

## Overview

Enhanced all API endpoints with comprehensive logging, profiling, and error handling for production-ready operation.

## ✅ Completed Enhancements

### 1. **Request Logging Middleware**

- ✅ Added `RequestLoggingMiddleware` to log all HTTP requests/responses
- ✅ Automatic request ID generation and tracking
- ✅ Logs request method, path, client IP, query params
- ✅ Logs response status code and duration
- ✅ Adds request ID to response headers

### 2. **Enhanced Error Handling**

- ✅ Global exception handler for unhandled exceptions
- ✅ Validation error handler (Pydantic) with detailed messages
- ✅ Specific handlers for `FileNotFoundError`, `PermissionError`, `ValueError`
- ✅ Structured error responses with error types and request IDs
- ✅ Full traceback logging for debugging

### 3. **Enhanced CLI Command Execution**

- ✅ Comprehensive logging in `run_cli_command()`
- ✅ Execution timing tracking
- ✅ Error classification (Exit codes, KeyboardInterrupt, Exceptions)
- ✅ Full traceback capture
- ✅ Output length tracking (stdout/stderr)
- ✅ Duration tracking for performance monitoring

### 4. **Background Task Enhancement**

- ✅ Pre-execution input validation (path existence checks)
- ✅ Structured logging with job_id, request_id, timestamps
- ✅ Error context capture (error type, message, traceback)
- ✅ Job metadata tracking (duration, created_at, completed_at)
- ✅ Profiling integration with `profile_context`
- ✅ Specific error handling for common exceptions

### 5. **Endpoint Enhancements**

#### ✅ Health Endpoint (`/health`)

- Request ID tracking
- Profiler status information
- Timestamp in response

#### ✅ Models Endpoint (`/models`)

- Request/response logging
- Error handling with detailed messages
- Duration tracking

#### ✅ Sequence Validation (`/api/v1/validate/sequence`)

- Input validation (path existence)
- Comprehensive logging
- Error handling for all failure modes
- Job metadata tracking
- Profiling integration

#### ✅ ARKit Validation (`/api/v1/validate/arkit`)

- Input validation (path existence)
- Comprehensive logging
- Error handling for all failure modes
- Job metadata tracking
- Profiling integration
- Validation statistics extraction with error handling

### 6. **Request ID Tracking**

- ✅ Automatic generation if not provided
- ✅ Included in all log entries
- ✅ Added to response headers
- ✅ Trackable across request lifecycle

### 7. **Structured Logging**

- ✅ All logs use structured data with `extra` parameter
- ✅ Consistent log levels (INFO, WARNING, ERROR, DEBUG)
- ✅ Context-rich logging (request_id, job_id, durations, etc.)

### 8. **Profiling Integration**

- ✅ Automatic profiling context for API endpoints
- ✅ Background task profiling
- ✅ Profiler initialization on startup
- ✅ Conditional profiling (graceful fallback if unavailable)

## 📊 Logging Structure

### Log Format

```
%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s
```

### Structured Data Fields

- `request_id`: Unique request identifier
- `job_id`: Background job identifier
- `duration` / `duration_ms`: Execution time
- `status_code`: HTTP status code
- `error` / `error_type`: Error information
- `method`, `path`, `client_ip`: Request information

## 🔍 Example Log Output

### Request Start

```
2025-12-06 15:30:00 - ylff.api - INFO - Request started: POST /api/v1/validate/arkit
Extra: {"request_id": "req_123", "method": "POST", "path": "/api/v1/validate/arkit", "client_ip": "192.168.1.1"}
```

### Job Execution

```
2025-12-06 15:30:01 - ylff.api - INFO - Starting ARKit validation job: job_456
Extra: {"job_id": "job_456", "arkit_dir": "assets/examples/ARKit", "duration": 125.3}
```

### Error

```
2025-12-06 15:32:06 - ylff.api - ERROR - ARKit validation job failed: job_456
Extra: {"job_id": "job_456", "error": "File not found", "error_type": "FileNotFoundError"}
```

## 🎯 Error Response Format

All errors return structured JSON:

```json
{
    "error": "ErrorType",
    "message": "Human-readable message",
    "request_id": "req_123",
    "details": {...}  // Optional
}
```

## 📝 Key Files Modified

1. **`ylff/api.py`**:

   - Added middleware
   - Enhanced all endpoints
   - Enhanced `run_cli_command()`
   - Enhanced background task functions
   - Added exception handlers

2. **`ylff/api_middleware.py`** (NEW):

   - Middleware utilities
   - Decorator for endpoint logging
   - Error handling decorators

3. **`docs/API_ENHANCEMENTS.md`** (NEW):
   - Comprehensive documentation
   - Examples and usage patterns

## 🚀 Benefits

1. **Debugging**: Full tracebacks and context in logs
2. **Monitoring**: Request IDs enable log correlation
3. **Performance**: Timing information for all operations
4. **Reliability**: Comprehensive error handling prevents crashes
5. **Observability**: Structured logs enable better analysis
6. **User Experience**: Clear, actionable error messages

## 🔄 Next Steps

The remaining endpoints (dataset build, training, evaluation, visualization) can be enhanced following the same pattern. The structure is now in place for easy replication.

## 📚 Usage

### Viewing Logs

- Logs output to stdout/stderr
- View in RunPod logs dashboard
- Filter by `request_id` or `job_id` for debugging

### Request ID

Include custom request ID for tracking:

```bash
curl -H "X-Request-ID: my-custom-id" https://api.example.com/health
```

### Error Debugging

1. Extract `request_id` from error response
2. Search logs for that `request_id`
3. See full execution trace and error details
