Session Goal

The session aimed to align backend, API, and frontend systems using canonical models to address type drift, duplication, and error handling issues.

Key Activities

  • Implemented a structured approach to align systems using Pydantic and FastAPI.
  • Created a canonical module for FastAPI and backend integration, focusing on design decisions and migration checklists.
  • Refactored FastAPI endpoints for Pydantic validation to prevent schema drift and improve API reliability.
  • Implemented idempotent summarization in FastAPI, emphasizing caching and response models.
  • Resolved ECONNREFUSED error with openapi-typescript by providing server and local generation options.
  • Diagnosed and fixed FastAPI and OpenAPI integration issues, including type mismatches and API response inconsistencies.
  • Conducted backend diagnosis and consolidation, addressing response models and Chroma integration.

Achievements

  • Successfully aligned FastAPI backend with canonical models, improving type safety and error handling.
  • Enhanced API contract reliability through Pydantic validation.
  • Resolved critical errors and integration issues in FastAPI and OpenAPI.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing and validation of the refactored TEI pipeline for robustness and error handling improvements.
