Current State:
- Application logs contain user query information and API request details
- Detailed logs are necessary for debugging but may contain sensitive information
Research Objectives:
- Implement log rotation and automatic purging of old logs
- Create different logging levels for production vs. development
- Develop a privacy-focused log sanitizer that removes PII
- Implement a configurable data retention policy
Current State:
- System allows duplicate PDF uploads without detection
- Duplicates consume extra storage and embedding resources
- Search results may contain redundant information
Research Objectives:
- Develop fingerprinting methods for PDF documents (hash-based or content-based)
- Implement similarity detection during upload process
- Create a user-friendly way to handle duplicates (reject, version, or replace)
- Optimize storage by eliminating redundant embeddings
Current State:
- API endpoints require API key authentication
- Web interface lacks user authentication
- Administrative functions accessible to anyone with access to the deployment URL
Research Objectives:
- Implement basic auth or more advanced authentication (OAuth, JWT)
- Create user role system (admin, regular user)
- Secure sensitive endpoints in the web interface
- Develop an authentication system that works both in development and production
Completed Work:
- Created comprehensive installation guides for Linux and Replit environments
- Documented all required environment variables in README.md
- Provided detailed deployment scenarios and instructions
- Added detailed API documentation and usage examples
