Session Goal:

The session aimed to conduct a comprehensive architectural review of the Paper-KB system, focusing on both frontend and backend components, and to implement improvements in data modeling and system architecture.

Key Activities:

• Finalized architecture decisions for the Paper-KB project, including frontend and backend components, type normalization, and error handling.
• Mapped and evaluated the frontend system using structured tools and checklists.
• Conducted filesystem cleanup and reinstalled dependencies to resolve the ENOSPC error.
• Created Mermaid files for documenting frontend architecture and developed a non-destructive frontend health check script.
• Reviewed the Next.js codebase, identified areas for improvement, and generated architecture diagrams.
• Proposed a canonical model for backend and frontend integration using Pydantic and TypeScript.

Achievements:

• Completed a detailed architectural analysis and provided recommendations for improvement.
• Developed scripts and documentation to enhance system integrity and performance.
• Proposed a structured plan for transitioning to a canonical data model, improving API contracts, and enhancing type safety.

Pending Tasks:

• Implement the proposed canonical model and complete the migration plan for backend and frontend integration.
• Continue refining the Mermaid documentation and address any remaining parsing issues.
