## Overview

Barclays Banner Builder is an AI-powered web application that helps Barclays Mobile Banking campaign managers create FCA-compliant banner campaign assets through a conversational interface. Users describe campaign briefs in chat, receive AI-generated copy variants (Medium and Large formats) with icon and theme recommendations, select DAM images, preview banners in-context, and export a PDF contact sheet and Workfront-ready CSV. Built as a monolithic React SPA + FastAPI backend with RQ job queue for async copy generation via OpenAI.

## Tech Stack

- **Frontend:** React 18 + Vite + TypeScript; UI components built on Oliver design system
- **Backend:** FastAPI + uvicorn (2 workers in production); asyncpg for async DB access
- **Database:** PostgreSQL 16 + pgvector for RAG embeddings and icon vector search
- **Queue / Job Worker:** Redis 7 + RQ (with scheduler)
- **AI/ML:** OpenAI gpt-5.4-mini (structured output for copy generation), text-embedding-3-small (RAG and icon embeddings)
- **PDF Rendering:** WeasyPrint for A4 contact sheet generation
- **Infrastructure:** Docker Compose (dev and prod), Apache 2.4 reverse proxy, Ubuntu host

## Architecture

The system follows a client-server model with background job processing:

```
Browser (React SPA)
    │ HTTPS
    ▼
Apache 2.4 (optical-dev.oliver.solutions)
├─ /barclays-banner-builder/api/* → ProxyPass → FastAPI :8010
└─ /barclays-banner-builder/*     → Static SPA (/var/www/html/…)
    │
    ▼
FastAPI (uvicorn, :8010 on host)
├─ REST endpoints, auth, DB
├─ asyncpg → PostgreSQL 16 + pgvector
└─ enqueue RQ jobs
    │
    ▼
RQ Worker (separate container)
├─ Copy generation via OpenAI
├─ Intent classification (generate/refine/clarify)
├─ RAG chunk retrieval (cosine search)
├─ Icon matching (cosine search on embeddings)
└─ PDF rendering, CSV export
    │
    ▼
Redis 7 (queue broker)
PostgreSQL 16 (persistent state, RAG, embeddings)
OpenAI API (gpt-5.4-mini, text-embedding-3-small)
Adobe DAM API or MockDamClient (image search)
```

**Key components:**
- **Frontend:** Chat interface (ChatBrief) → Intent classification (intent_router) → Copy generation (copy_generation) → Variant review (VariantsGrid) → Banner editor (BannerEditor) → Export (exporter)
- **Database:** Conversations, BannerSets, BannerVariants, RAG chunks + embeddings, Icon embeddings, SystemPrompts, Users
- **RAG:** Corpus in `/rag-corpus/` embedded and searched by pgvector cosine similarity to enrich generation prompts
- **Icons:** 100+ PNG illustrations in 10 categories, indexed by OpenAI embeddings for semantic icon matching
- **Validation:** Character limits enforced on copy variants (up to 3 OpenAI retries with corrective prompt)

## Dev Commands

```bash
# Clone and setup
git clone git@bitbucket.org:zlalani/barclays-banner-builder.git

```

## Deployment

- **Server:** optical-dev.oliver.solutions
- **Deploy:** `bash /opt/barclays-banner-builder/deploy.sh` (full deploy); `bash /opt/barclays-banner-builder/deploy.sh --skip-frontend` (Python-only); `bash /opt/barclays-banner-builder/deploy.sh --reindex` (force RAG/icon reindex)
- **URL:** https://optical-dev.oliver.solutions/barclays-banner-builder/
- **Port:** 8010 (API internal port, proxied by Apache)
- **Local path:** /opt/barclays-banner-builder/ (production); /Users/ai_leed/Documents/Projects/Oliver/Barclays-banner-builder (dev)
- **Service:** Docker Compose services: `api`, `worker`, `postgres`, `redis` (no systemd service)
- **Status:** Production

**First-time server setup:**
```bash
# Install Docker, Node.js, clone repo, create .env, then:
bash /opt/barclays-banner-builder/deploy.sh
```

**Check health:**
```bash
cd /opt/barclays-banner-builder
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml ps
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8010/api/health
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs -f api
```

**Restart:**
```bash
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart api  # API only
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart worker  # Worker only
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --no-deps --force-recreate api worker  # Full recreate
```

## Environment Variables

- `OPENAI_API_KEY` — OpenAI API key for copy generation and embeddings (required)
- `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` — PostgreSQL superuser password (required in production)
- `SECRET_KEY` — FastAPI session/token secret (required in production)
- `APP_BASE_PATH` — Base URL path; empty for local dev, `/barclays-banner-builder` for production
- `DATABASE_URL` — PostgreSQL connection string (auto-built from POSTGRES_PASSWORD if not set)
- `REDIS_URL` — Redis connection string (defaults to redis://redis:6379 in Docker)
- `DAM_API_URL` — Adobe DAM endpoint or mock endpoint (optional; fallback to mock if not set)

## API / Endpoints

Key REST endpoints (FastAPI + auto-docs at `/api/docs`):

| Method | Path | Purpose |
|--------|------|---------|
| POST | `/api/auth/login` | User login (email/password) |
| POST | `/api/conversations` | Create conversation + chat turn (enqueues RQ job) |
| GET | `/api/conversations/{id}` | Retrieve conversation and messages |
| POST | `/api/conversations/{id}/messages` | Add message to conversation |
| GET | `/api/jobs/{job_id}` | Poll job status (returns `{status: "pending"\|"done"\|"failed", result}`) |
| GET | `/api/banner-sets/{banner_set_id}` | Retrieve BannerSet with variants |
| PATCH | `/api/banner-variants/{id}` | Update variant (copy, selected flag, DAM image, icon) |
| POST | `/api/exports/pdf` | Generate PDF contact sheet (async, returns job_id) |
| POST | `/api/exports/csv` | Generate Workfront CSV (returns data directly) |
| GET | `/api/health` | Health check |

## Known Issues

- **RAG corpus embedding cost:** Ingesting RAG documents and indexing icons incurs OpenAI API charges; run `ingest_rag.py` and `index_icons.py` only when corpus changes.
- **Character limit validation:** Copy generation retries up to 3 times if variants exceed character limits; failure logs are written but user sees error.
- **DAM API fallback:** If `DAM_API_URL` is not set or unreachable, the system falls back to `MockDamClient` (mock data).
- **No authentication on API health endpoint:** `/api/health` is unprotected for monitoring.

## Git

- **Remote:** git@bitbucket.org:zlalani/barclays-banner-builder.git
- **Main branch:** Implied `main` or `master` (not explicitly stated in provided logs)
- **Recent activity:** Active development; last commit `0f66fab` (Rebrand to Oliver design system). 20 commits in history showing feature iterations (chat interface, banner spec updates, export refinement, refine intent fixes).
