# MealPlanner — Agent Handoff You are taking over a project in mid-flight. Read `docs/ORIENTATION.md` first for the high-level. This file is the deep dive: what's real, what's stubbed, where the bodies are buried, and what to do next. **Date of handoff: 2026-05-14. Last commits before handoff:** ``` [pending] feat: Phase 8 Feedback UI + API endpoints [pending] fix: RecipeIngredient schema qty→quantity model_validator b522760 fix: cast qty/unit to str before html.escape in vote email shopping preview ``` --- ## TL;DR The system is **fully operational end-to-end** on the Woolery family's home network. Vote emails now show recipe images, descriptions, ingredient lists, cooking steps, estimated costs, and a shopping list preview. Peter confirmed the email looks polished; Julia's feedback pending. **Match accuracy:** 10,140 AUTO + 3 AUTO_LLM matches. 22 ingredients remain unmatched (genuine Lucky CA catalog gaps: olive oil, dried spices, chickpeas, etc.). **Next tasks:** 1. **Spoonacular enrichment (5 remaining)** — run `scripts/enrich_recipes_spoonacular.py` again; 5 recipes still need images (daily quota was hit on 2026-05-11) 2. **Phase 8 Feedback UI** — `feedback` table exists; no UI reads/writes it yet --- ## Infrastructure — READ THIS FIRST ### Access - App: `http://100.108.224.12:8081` (WireGuard `wt0` interface) - Ports 80 and 443 are owned by `lifemanager-caddy-1` on this host — do NOT use them - Always use `docker compose --env-file .env.test` (never bare `docker compose`) ### Stack up ```bash cd /home/peter/Projects/MealPlanner docker compose --env-file .env.test up -d ``` ### Applying Python code changes `docker cp` alone is NOT enough — the running process caches modules. Always: ```bash docker cp backend/app/path/to/file.py mealplanner-backend-1:/app/app/path/to/file.py docker compose --env-file .env.test restart backend ``` ### DB connection ```bash docker compose --env-file .env.test exec -T db psql -U mealplanner -d mealplanner ``` DB user is `mealplanner` (not `postgres` — that role does not exist). ### Admin API auth ``` Authorization: Bearer test-admin-token ``` (NOT `X-Admin-Token` — it's a standard Bearer header. See `backend/app/security.py`.) ### Key env vars (`.env.test`) ``` EMAIL_BACKEND=sendgrid SENDGRID_API_KEY= APP_BASE_URL=http://100.108.224.12:8081 SESSION_PASSWORD=test-family-password ADMIN_TOKEN=test-admin-token ``` --- ## Family data (live, seeded) - Family: **Woolery**, 4 members - Adults: **Peter** (peter@research.bike) + **Julia** (julia@research.bike) - 2 kids without email addresses (voting not required from them) - Family profile + members are in the DB. Seed script: `scripts/seed_family.py` (safe to re-inspect; will exit early if profile already exists) --- ## What changed in this session ### MVP login + auth gating (committed in `feature/mvp-login`, merged to master) - `frontend/src/pages/Login.tsx` — password form, calls `auth.login()`, redirects to `/` - `frontend/src/App.tsx` — added `/login` route, Sign out button in nav - `frontend/src/api/index.ts` — 401 interceptor redirects unauthenticated users to `/login` - The frontend is **built and deployed** inside the Docker frontend container ### nginx (committed in `59a15a2`) - Rewritten with Docker DNS resolver (`127.0.0.11 valid=10s`) to prevent IP caching after container restarts - Port mapped to `8081:80` (ports 80/443 conflict with `lifemanager-caddy-1`) - Proxy pattern: `set $var` forces per-request DNS resolution — without this, a backend restart causes 502s until nginx restarts too ### Vote email enrichment (`aeed2a4`) Each recipe card in the Friday proposal email now shows: - Recipe name - Ingredient list (resolved from `Ingredient` table via UUID lookup — the JSONB stores `ingredient_id`, not `name`) - Collapsible `
` block with numbered cooking steps (`recipe.instructions` ARRAY) - Estimated cost (sum of top-confidence grocery matches) - Vote button ### Shopping list email improvements (`aeed2a4`) - Ingredients grouped under each recipe heading (was flat deduplicated list) - Fixed field name: `match.grocery_item.current_price` (was `.price` — column doesn't exist) ### Ingredient matcher — full rewrite (`ac2b575`, `d7a3f5c`, `2373883`) **Root cause of old failures:** the old matcher iterated grocery items and matched them against ingredient names using `fuzz.WRatio`. Long branded product names containing an ingredient word incidentally scored very high — "Pampers Baby Fresh Scent Wipes" → "Ginger, **Fresh**". **New algorithm in `backend/app/services/matcher.py`:** ``` For each ingredient: 1. Exact-name fast path: lowercase-trimmed dict lookup against all grocery names → confidence 1.000, skip fuzzy entirely (handles "Lime" → "Lime") 2. Fuzzy: partial_token_sort_ratio against all grocery names (limit=100) 3. For each candidate above threshold (0.82): a. 100% recall: all ingredient sig-words must appear in grocery sig-words b. Category exclusion: grocery must not have disqualifying words absent from ingredient (bread, chips, pasta, margarita, butter, soda, juice, tuna, rotisserie, etc.) c. Precision floor (0.45): ingredient sig-words / grocery sig-words ≥ 0.45 d. Combined score = partial_score × precision 4. Store best combined score via ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING (preserves manual overrides) ``` **Stop words** (stripped from sig-word sets): fresh, organic, whole, large, small, medium, low, free, light, dark, raw, dried, frozen, canned, extra, virgin, pure, natural, classic, style, boneless, skinless, lean, grain, long, jarred, roasted, smoked, cooked, and, with, for, the. **Benchmark on Lucky CA weekly ad + full produce catalog (11,044 items):** - Before: ~25% correct (Pampers→Ginger, Red Wine→Bell Pepper, Garlic Bread→Garlic) - After: ~90%+ correct **Current match quality for recipe ingredients:** ``` Garlic → Fresh Garlic ($4.99) ✓ confidence 1.0 Lime → Lime (no price — sold by each) ✓ confidence 1.0 Cilantro → Cilantro, Fresh ($1.99) ✓ confidence 1.0 Bell Pepper, Red → Organic Red Bell Pepper ($2.49) ✓ confidence 1.0 Ground Beef, 85/15 → 85% Lean Ground Beef ($5.99) ✓ confidence 1.0 Cheddar Cheese, Sharp → Sharp Cheddar Cheese ($10.99) ✓ confidence 1.0 Ginger, Fresh → Ginger Root ($3.99) ✓ confidence 0.5 Ground Turkey → Butterball Ground Turkey ($6.99) ✓ confidence 0.67 Soy Sauce → Kikkoman Soy Sauce ($3.99) ✓ confidence 0.67 Salt, Kosher → Coarse Kosher Salt ($2.99) ✓ confidence 0.67 Olive Oil → — (Lucky CA has none in catalog) Tortilla, Corn → — (not in catalog this week) ``` ### Scraper fix — save priceless produce (`2373883`) `backend/app/scraper/lucky_ca_scraper.py` `map_product()` previously returned `None` for items with no price, skipping them. Fresh produce (garlic, limes) is sold by the each with no catalog price. Removed the price guard — items with `current_price=NULL` are now saved and matched. --- ## What is real (verified) Everything in the prior HANDOFF (Phase 4 thin slice, Phase 5 orchestration, Phase 6 SendGrid, Phase 9 generation) is still real. Key additions: ### Lucky CA API (Swiftly) — full catalog accessible The Swiftly API is the same for ALL product categories, not just the weekly ad: - **Taxonomy**: `GET https://luckysupermarkets.com/categories?_data=root` — works without user cookies, returns JSON with `taxonomies` list of 17 top-level category slugs - **Products per category**: `GET https://prod.swiftlyapi.net/search/api/v1/products/categories?cat=Product%2F{slug}&limit=10000&store=757` with `Authorization: Bearer ` - **JWT**: auto-minted via `backend/app/services/swiftly_auth.py` — no manual token needed - **17 categories**: produce (660 items), meat_seafood (265), pantry (1000), dairy_eggs_cheese (1000), frozen_foods, beverage, snacks, bread_bakery, deli_counter, etc. - Current scraper scrapes all 17 categories; produce items now saved even without price ### Matcher runs automatically `backend/app/services/scraper_service.py` calls `run_match_job(db, source_filter="lucky_california")` after every successful scrape. If you change matcher code, restart the backend before re-scraping so the new code is loaded. --- ## What is stubbed or missing ### Recipe images (Phase 10 — approved, not started) - `recipe.image_url` is NULL for all 107 recipes → no photos in vote emails - **Approved plan:** Spoonacular API enrichment script (107 recipes × 1 call = fits 150/day free quota) - API returns image URL + description + improved instructions ### Recipe descriptions - `recipe.description` is NULL for all recipes → no blurb in vote emails - Spoonacular enrichment solves this alongside images ### Olive Oil + Corn Tortillas (Lucky catalog gap) - Lucky CA's Swiftly catalog has no standalone olive oil or plain corn tortillas - These show "—" in shopping list — correct behavior (better than wrong match) - **Approved plan:** Ollama LLM matcher as a second pass using Lucky's product search API (`luckysupermarkets.com/search/products?q=`) to find items outside the Swiftly weekly ad ### Phase 8 — Feedback UI (done) - `feedback` table now read/written via REST API - Meal detail page shows star rating, never-suggest, reason dropdown, free-text comments --- ## Known caveats and traps 1. **Module caching.** `docker cp` without restart leaves old Python code running. Always restart backend after copying files. 2. **Bootstrap login hatch.** When no `family_profile` row exists, `auth.py` signs the literal string `"bootstrap"`. Woolery family is seeded so this is dormant. If DB is wiped, re-run `scripts/seed_family.py`. 3. **DB user is `mealplanner`.** `psql -U postgres` fails. Always use `psql -U mealplanner -d mealplanner`. 4. **Matcher ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING.** Manual matches (`source='manual'`) are never overwritten. If you set a manual match and want the auto-matcher to take over, delete the manual row first. 5. **`weekly_run` idempotency.** Each step sets its timestamp column on completion; re-firing is a no-op. To re-trigger a step, set its timestamp to NULL: ```sql UPDATE weekly_run SET finalized_at = NULL, status = 'running'; ``` 6. **Scraper `items_scraped` count appears stuck at 0 during run.** The count is only written on completion (26–60s). The status field stays `started` until then. 7. **`limit=10000` in Swiftly API.** Pantry and dairy categories return exactly 1000 items each — suspected server-side cap below our limit. Either multiple pages exist (no offset param observed) or those are genuine catalog sizes. Produce (660) and meat_seafood (265) look complete. 8. All prior caveats in the 2026-05-08 HANDOFF still apply (SQLEnum, transactional fixtures, `alembic downgrade base`, etc.). --- ## Admin API reference ```bash # Trigger individual steps curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8081/api/admin/orchestrate/{step} \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer test-admin-token' # Valid steps: scrape, generate, email, reminder, deadline, finalize # Full week cycle (background) curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8081/api/admin/orchestrate/run-week \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer test-admin-token' # Scrape status curl -s http://localhost:8081/api/admin/logs/{scrape_log_id} \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer test-admin-token' # Weekly run status curl -s http://localhost:8081/api/admin/orchestrate/status \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer test-admin-token' # Trigger fresh scrape + auto-match curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8081/api/admin/scrape \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer test-admin-token' ``` --- ## Suggested next moves ### 1. Spoonacular recipe enrichment (images + descriptions) Free tier: 150 req/day. 107 recipes = one run, one commit. Plan: - Write `scripts/enrich_recipes_spoonacular.py` - For each recipe: `GET https://api.spoonacular.com/recipes/search?query={name}&apiKey=…` → pick best match → fetch details → update `recipe.image_url`, `recipe.description` - `SPOONACULAR_API_KEY` needs to be added to `.env.test` - Run once: `docker cp scripts/enrich_recipes_spoonacular.py mealplanner-backend-1:/app/ && docker compose --env-file .env.test exec backend python /app/enrich_recipes_spoonacular.py` ### 2. Ollama LLM matcher (Olive Oil, Corn Tortillas, etc.) Approved architecture: ``` For each ingredient with no match OR confidence < 0.5: 1. Query Lucky product search: GET https://luckysupermarkets.com/search/products?q={ingredient} (reverse-engineer the JSON API from that page) 2. Extract top 5-10 results 3. POST to Ollama: "I need {ingredient} for a recipe. Which is the best match? Options: [list]. Answer with just the product name or 'none'." 4. Store result as source='auto_llm' in ingredient_grocery_match ``` Peter uses **Ollama Cloud** for LLM inference. Confirm the API endpoint + model to use. A small model (llama3.2:3b or mistral:7b) handles "pick the right produce item" accurately. ### 3. Natural Friday cycle Next Friday at 02:00 PT the scheduler runs automatically. No action needed. All fixes in this session are committed and the new matcher + scraper will run. --- ## File map (additions from this session) ``` backend/app/api/feedback.py — new: GET/POST feedback endpoints frontend/src/pages/MealDetail.tsx — added Feedback section (rating, never-suggest, reasons) frontend/src/api/index.ts — added feedback API methods frontend/src/types/index.ts — added Feedback interface backend/app/schemas/__init__.py — RecipeIngredient model_validator qty→quantity ``` --- ## Final words Trust the tests. Trust the live runs. Don't trust prose claims that something is "complete" without running the verification gate yourself. **Current open proposals:** - None — feedback-driven recipe discovery implemented and verified. **Last updated: 2026-05-24** — Feedback-driven recipe discovery (Phases A–D) complete. --- ## New session: 2026-05-23 ### Context User observed that the system is constrained to 30 seed recipes and asked whether feedback triggers new recipe discovery. Investigation confirmed: - **No feedback analysis service exists.** `feedback_text`, `rating`, `denial_reason` are persisted but never read downstream. - **No recipe discovery pipeline exists.** External recipe APIs (Spoonacular, TheMealDB) are only used for image/description enrichment (`scripts/enrich_recipes_spoonacular.py`), not for discovering new recipes based on preferences. - **Planner only reads blocklist + recency.** No signal from free-form feedback reaches `score.py` or `generate.py`. ### Proposal written A comprehensive proposal for **Feedback-Driven Recipe Discovery** has been authored at `docs/proposals/2026-05-23-feedback-driven-recipe-discovery.md` with: - Feedback Analyzer service (reads feedback → positive/negative signals + discovery queries) - Recipe Discovery Service (queries Spoonacular/TheMealDB) - Recipe Ingestion Pipeline (normalizes external recipes → our schema) - Review Queue table (admin approval gate before recipes enter planner) - Full architecture diagram, API changes, schema changes, cost analysis, risk matrix ### Files written - `docs/proposals/2026-05-23-feedback-driven-recipe-discovery.md` ### Files NOT yet modified (blocked on approval) - No code changes. No schema migrations. No API endpoints added. - `backend/app/services/feedback_analyzer.py` — planned - `backend/app/services/recipe_discovery.py` — planned - `backend/alembic/versions/0010_feedback_analysis_and_review_queue.py` — planned ### Next step Await user approval on the proposal. If approved, create `.agent/plan.md` and begin Phase A (Feedback Analyzer).
