Justin Visser 804b98423c docs: rewrite agents.md with complete, accurate agent instructions
- Add file length target (400 lines) and ceiling (600 lines)
- Fix testing command (was missing python -m pytest)
- Add conventional commits, ruff/mypy, structured_log, uv rules
- Remove duplication with contributing.md
- Tighten UI section with concrete references

# AI Agent Instructions: Scholarr
Adhere strictly to these constraints when working on this codebase.
## 1. Code Quality
- **Function length:** 50 lines max. Extract helpers ruthlessly.
- **File length:** 400 lines target, 600 lines hard ceiling. Files above this must be decomposed before adding more code.
- **DRY:** Abstract repeated logic immediately. No duplicate boilerplate for queries, responses, or error handling.
- **Negative space programming:** Fail fast with explicit assertions and guard clauses. No silent failures, especially in DOM parsing.
- **Cyclomatic complexity:** Flatten with early returns. No deep nesting. No magic numbers.
- **No dead code:** Do not leave commented-out code, unused imports, or backward-compatibility shims. Delete cleanly.
## 2. Architecture
### Data Model
- Scholar tracking is **user-scoped**. Never assume global links between users and Scholar IDs.
- Publications are **global, deduplicated records**. Deduplicate via cluster ID and normalized fingerprinting.
- Read/unread, favorites, and visibility state live on the **scholar-publication link**, not the publication.
### Service Boundaries
All business logic lives in `app/services/<domain>/`. No flat files in `app/services/` root. Each domain owns its application service, types, and helpers.
### API Envelope
All `/api/v1` responses use this exact envelope:
```
Success: {"data": ..., "meta": {"request_id": "..."}}
Error: {"error": {"code": "...", "message": "...", "details": ...}, "meta": {"request_id": "..."}}
```
Use the Pydantic envelope schemas in `app/api/schemas.py`. Do not construct raw dicts.
## 3. Scrape Safety (Immutable)
These constraints prevent IP bans. They are not tunable to zero and must not be optimized away.
- Enforce `INGESTION_MIN_REQUEST_DELAY_SECONDS` (default 2s) between all external requests.
- Default to direct ID or profile URL ingestion. Name searches trigger CAPTCHAs.
- Respect `INGESTION_SAFETY_COOLDOWN_BLOCKED_SECONDS` (1800s) and `INGESTION_SAFETY_COOLDOWN_NETWORK_SECONDS` (900s) upon threshold breaches.
## 4. Logging
Use `structured_log()` from `app/logging_utils.py` for all domain logging. Do not use raw `logger.info()` / `logger.warning()` calls.
```python
from app.logging_utils import structured_log
structured_log(logger, "info", "ingestion.run_started", user_id=user_id, scholar_count=count)
```
Every event name should be dot-namespaced to its domain (e.g., `arxiv.cache_hit`, `ingestion.safety_cooldown_entered`).
## 5. Stack & Tooling
- **Backend:** Python 3.12+, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy 2.0 (async/asyncpg), Alembic
- **Frontend:** TypeScript, Vue 3, Vite, Tailwind CSS
- **Infrastructure:** Multi-stage Docker, Docker Compose
- **Package manager:** `uv` (used in Dockerfile and CI; `uv run` prefix for all commands)
- **Linting:** `ruff check .` and `ruff format --check .` (config in `pyproject.toml`)
- **Type checking:** `mypy app/`
- **Versioning:** python-semantic-release with conventional commits
## 6. Commits
Follow [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/):
```
<type>(<scope>): <description>
```
Types: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `ci`, `refactor`, `test`, `chore`, `perf`.
## 7. Testing
All tests run inside containers:
```bash
# Unit tests (default, excludes integration)
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml run --rm app python -m pytest
# Integration tests
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml run --rm app python -m pytest -m integration
```
Markers: `integration`, `db`, `migrations`, `schema`, `smoke`.
## 8. Frontend
- Use the tokenized theme system (`frontend/src/theme/presets/`). Do not hardcode colors.
- Integrate Tailwind with preset theme tokens. Reference `frontend/scripts/check_theme_tokens.mjs` for enforcement.
- Every UI element must have a clear purpose. Clarity through styling and language.
