+# Codebase Architecture Audit Report
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Completed comprehensive audit of the codebase to identify services and patterns that could benefit from refactoring similar to the credit service middleware-centric approach.
+
+**Audit Date:** 2025-12-15  
+**Files Analyzed:** 50+ files across routers/, services/, core/  
+**Focus Areas:** Service architecture, transaction patterns, middleware opportunities
+
+---
+
+## ✅ What's Already Good
+
+### 1. Clean Router Layer
+- ✅ **No direct database commits** in routers
+- ✅ All routers use `QueryService` for data access
+- ✅ Proper dependency injection pattern
+- ✅ Auth handled by middleware (not manual in each endpoint)
+
+### 2. Well-Structured Services
+- ✅ `CreditService` - Fully middleware-driven with transaction tracking
+- ✅ `AuthService` - Middleware-based authentication
+- ✅ `DBService` - QueryService pattern for data access
+- ✅ `BackupService` - Async background uploads
+- ✅ `DriveService` - Google Drive integration
+- ✅ `EncryptionService` - Crypto utilities
+- ✅ `RazorpayService` - Payment gateway integration
+- ✅ `EmailService` - Email sending
+- ✅ `GeminiService` - AI service integration
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Issues Found
+
+### CRITICAL: Audit Logging Inconsistency
+
+**Location:** `routers/blink.py` (Lines 547, 563)
+
+**Problem:**
+```python
+# Direct AuditLog creation in router
+audit_log = AuditLog(
+    log_type="client",
+    user_id=server_user_id,
+    ...
+)
+db.add(audit_log)
+```
+
+**Why It's Bad:**
+- Bypasses `AuditService.log_event()` 
+- Inconsistent with other audit logging
+- No centralized audit logic
+- Manual field population (error-prone)
+
+**Recommendation:** Refactor to use `AuditService`
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Refactoring Opportunities
+
+### 1. **Audit Service → Audit Middleware** (RECOMMENDED)
+
+**Current State:**
+- `AuditService.log_event()` called manually in endpoints
+- Some endpoints create `AuditLog` directly (`blink.py`)
+- Inconsistent usage across codebase
+
+**Proposed Refactoring:**
+Create `AuditMiddleware` similar to `CreditMiddleware`:
+
+```python
+class AuditMiddleware:
+    """Automatically log all requests/responses."""
+    
+    async def dispatch(self, request, call_next):
+        # Capture request details
+        start_time = time.time()
+        
+        # Process request
+        response = await call_next(request)
+        
+        # Automatically log based on response
+        duration = time.time() - start_time
+        await self.log_request(request, response, duration)
+        
+        return response
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Every request automatically logged
+- ✅ Consistent audit trail
+- ✅ Routers unaware of audit logging
+- ✅ Centralized logging logic
+- ✅ No manual logging calls needed
+
+**Effort:** Medium (2-3 days)
+
+---
+
+### 2. **Email Service → Email Queue** (OPTIONAL)
+
+**Current State:**
+- `EmailService` sends emails synchronously
+- Endpoint waits for email to send
+- No retry mechanism
+- No email queue
+
+**Proposed Refactoring:**
+Add background email queue:
+
+```python
+# Instead of:
+await EmailService.send_email(...)
+
+# Use:
+await EmailQueue.enqueue(
+    to="user@example.com",
+    subject="...",
+    body="..."
+)
+# Returns immediately, email sent in background
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Faster API responses
+- ✅ Automatic retries on failure
+- ✅ Email history/tracking
+- ✅ Rate limiting built-in
+
+**Effort:** High (4-5 days)
+
+---
+
+### 3. **API Key Manager → API Key Middleware** (OPTIONAL)
+
+**Current State:**
+- `api_key_manager.py` manages Gemini API keys
+- Manual rotation logic
+- No automatic rate limiting per key
+
+**Proposed Refactoring:**
+Add middleware for automatic key rotation and rate limiting:
+
+```python
+class APIKeyMiddleware:
+    """Automatically select and rotate API keys."""
+    
+    async def dispatch(self, request, call_next):
+        if self.is_gemini_request(request):
+            api_key = await self.get_available_key()
+            request.state.gemini_api_key = api_key
+        
+        response = await call_next(request)
+        
+        # Track usage
+        await self.track_key_usage(api_key, response)
+        
+        return response
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Automatic key selection
+- ✅ Per-key rate limiting
+- ✅ Automatic rotation on errors
+- ✅ Usage analytics
+
+**Effort:** Medium (3-4 days)
+
+---
+
+### 4. **Payment Transaction Tracking** (NICE TO HAVE)
+
+**Current State:**
+- `PaymentTransaction` model exists
+- Records created in `routers/payments.py`
+- No transaction history endpoint
+- No failed payment tracking
+
+**Proposed Enhancement:**
+Add `PaymentTransactionManager` similar to `CreditTransactionManager`:
+
+```python
+class PaymentTransactionManager:
+    """Centralized payment transaction management."""
+    
+    @staticmethod
+    async def create_order(...):
+        # Create payment transaction
+        # Record attempt
+        # Return order details
+    
+    @staticmethod
+    async def verify_payment(...):
+        # Verify signature
+        # Update transaction
+        # Trigger credit addition
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Centralized payment logic
+- ✅ Better error tracking
+- ✅ Payment analytics
+- ✅ Audit trail
+
+**Effort:** Low (1-2 days)
+
+---

+
+## 🔧 Technical Debt Items
+
+### Found During Audit
+
+1. **`blink.py` audit logging** - Direct `AuditLog` creation
+2. **Job deletion refunds** - TODO comment in `gemini.py:564`
+3. **Email sending** - No queue or async processing
+4. **API key rotation** - Manual, not middleware-driven
+5. **Payment analytics** - No aggregated stats endpoints
+
+---
+
+## 💡 Key Learnings from Credit Service Refactoring
+
+**What Worked Well:**
+1. ✅ Middleware pattern for cross-cutting concerns
