What Changed:
- ✅ Docker setup complete: Multi-stage build (Node.js → Python) with single container
- ✅ One-command deployment:
docker-compose uphandles everything - ✅ Production ready: Health checks, security, proper permissions, non-root user
- ✅ Documentation updated: Clear setup instructions for developers
- ✅ Environment template: Comprehensive .env.example with helpful comments
- ✅ CI/CD pipeline: GitHub Actions workflow with Docker build testing
- ✅ End-to-end tested: Full Docker deployment validated and working
- ✅ Build issues resolved: Frontend TypeScript and Poetry 2.x compatibility fixed
Why: Enable easy deployment for developers and prepare foundation for hosted version.
What Changed:
- ✅ Removed all smart limit logic from backend and frontend
- ✅ Added optional manual limits via Settings modal
- ✅ Default behavior: No conversation limits (fetches all conversations in timeframe)
- ✅ User control: Can set custom limits up to 1000 via Settings button
Why: Smart limits were overriding user intent (e.g., "24 hours" would fetch 30 days). Now system respects exact timeframes.
- ✅ FastAPI backend with streaming responses
- ✅ React frontend with real-time progress tracking
- ✅ Server-Sent Events for live updates
- ✅ Complete UI redesign with shadcn/ui components
- ✅ Basic query processing and AI analysis
- ✅ Intercom API integration
- ✅ Cost optimization and performance baseline
Response Times:
- Small queries (10-50 conversations): 10-30 seconds
- Medium queries (100-200 conversations): 30-60 seconds
- Large queries (500+ conversations): 60-120 seconds
Costs (per query):
- ~$0.004 per conversation analyzed
- ~$0.01 base cost for timeframe interpretation
- Typical query: $0.05-$0.50 depending on conversation count
Reliability:
- ✅ Graceful error handling
- ✅ Rate limiting compliance (Intercom API)
- ✅ Fallback mechanisms for AI parsing failures
- Frontend Tests: TypeScript errors in test files (app works fine)
- Build Warnings: Some development warnings (non-blocking)
- Single Platform: Currently Intercom-only
- Local Deployment: Not yet hosted (coming in next iteration)
- Basic Analytics: Limited usage tracking

User Settings Session Mgmt AI + Intercom
What's Solid:
- ✅ Core query processing pipeline
- ✅ Real-time progress updates
- ✅ Structured data flow (AI → JSON → Frontend)
- ✅ Error handling and logging
- ✅ User-controlled conversation limits
What's Simple:
- No complex configurations required
- Direct timeframe interpretation (no overrides)
- Optional settings for power users
- Clean separation of concerns
