# Redmine Semantic Index

Local semantic index service for a recent Redmine Helpdesk sample. V1 uses
OpenAI `text-embedding-3-small` embeddings and Qdrant vectors, with Redmine as
the first source adapter.

For deploy, validation, and rollback steps, see
`docs/semantic_index_deployment_runbook.md`.

## Configuration

Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and set local secrets there. Do not commit `.env`.

Required for live use:

- `OPENAI_API_KEY`
- `QDRANT_URL`
- `REDMINE_URL`
- `REDMINE_API_KEY`

Optional:

- `QDRANT_API_KEY`
- `QDRANT_COLLECTION`
- `REDMINE_PROJECT_IDENTIFIER`
- `REDMINE_SAMPLE_LIMIT`
- `SEMANTIC_INDEX_API_KEY`

## HTTP

Install runtime dependencies in your chosen environment:

```sh
pip install openai qdrant-client fastapi uvicorn
```

Run:

```sh
uvicorn semantic_index.app:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8787
```

Endpoints:

- `GET /health`
- `POST /sources/redmine/backfill-sample`
- `POST /search`
- `GET /documents/{id}`
- `GET /projects`

If `SEMANTIC_INDEX_API_KEY` is set, pass `Authorization: Bearer <key>`.

Search response shape is shared by HTTP, MCP, and the Python client:

```json
{
  "query": "candidate follow up",
  "filters": {"project_identifier": "hiring", "limit": 5},
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "redmine:issue:123:chunk:0",
      "score": 0.72,
      "snippet": "Candidate follow up...",
      "payload": {},
      "citation": {
        "source": "redmine",
        "doc_type": "issue",
        "issue_id": 123,
        "project_identifier": "hiring",
        "url": "http://redmine/issues/123"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

HTTP examples:

```sh
curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer $SEMANTIC_INDEX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"candidate follow up","project_identifier":"hiring","limit":5}' \
  http://127.0.0.1:8787/search

curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer $SEMANTIC_INDEX_API_KEY" \
  http://127.0.0.1:8787/projects
```

## Python Client

Use the client in-process when running from this repo/environment:

```python
from semantic_index.client import SemanticIndexClient

client = SemanticIndexClient.local()
results = client.search("callum@safetagtracking.com", project_identifier="customer-service", limit=5)
document = client.get_document(results["results"][0]["id"])
```

Use HTTP mode from another local program:

```python
from semantic_index.client import SemanticIndexClient

client = SemanticIndexClient(base_url="http://127.0.0.1:8787", api_key="...")
results = client.search("candidate follow up", project_identifier="hiring", limit=5)
```

## Backfill

Refresh the configured Redmine sample from the command line:

```sh
python3 -m semantic_index --backfill-redmine-sample --limit 50
```

When `REDMINE_PROJECT_IDENTIFIER` is set, the rebuild deletes and replaces only
indexed Redmine documents for that project. Without a project identifier, it
rebuilds the Redmine source sample for the collection.

Refresh a balanced multi-project sample:

```sh
python3 -m semantic_index --backfill-redmine-projects \
  --projects customer-service,hiring,todo-jason,sales-inbox,business-development,dock-scheduling,prep-standardization \
  --per-project-limit 100
```

Use project-specific limits when Customer Service should stay larger than the
internal project sample:

```sh
python3 -m semantic_index --backfill-redmine-projects \
  --project-limits customer-service=500,hiring=200,todo-jason=200,sales-inbox=100,business-development=100,dock-scheduling=100,prep-standardization=100
```

Multi-project backfill rebuilds each project scope independently. Non-Helpdesk
projects are indexed as ordinary Redmine issues and journals; they are not
expected to have Helpdesk contact metadata.

## Rolling Refresh

Use rolling refresh for routine updates after an initial backfill:

```sh
python3 -m semantic_index --refresh-redmine-projects \
  --project-limits customer-service=500,hiring=200,todo-jason=200,sales-inbox=100,business-development=100,dock-scheduling=100,prep-standardization=100 \
  --dry-run
```

Dry-run reports what would change without calling OpenAI or writing to Qdrant.
Remove `--dry-run` to apply the refresh.

The refresh maps each recent Redmine issue to stable document IDs, reads the
existing Qdrant payloads for that issue, and compares `source_hash` values.
Only new or changed documents are embedded and upserted. Unchanged documents
are left alone, and stale documents for refreshed issues are deleted without
embedding. Use `--force-rebuild` only when you explicitly want to re-embed
matching documents.

The default local state file is `.cache/semantic_index/refresh_state.json`.
After a successful refresh, later runs skip issues older than the previous
success timestamp minus `--overlap-minutes` unless `--force-rebuild` is used.
Override it with:

```sh
python3 -m semantic_index --refresh-redmine-projects \
  --project-limits customer-service=500 \
  --state-path /tmp/semantic-refresh-state.json
```

The HTTP endpoint exposes the same behavior:

```sh
curl -sS -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8787/sources/redmine/refresh \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"project_limits":{"customer-service":500},"dry_run":true}'
```

For production-style operation, use the wrapper script. It defaults to dry-run
and writes timestamped logs under `.cache/semantic_index/logs`:

```sh
semantic_index/refresh.sh
semantic_index/refresh.sh --apply
```

For a quick smoke check of the wrapper path:

```sh
SEMANTIC_INDEX_PROJECT_LIMITS='customer-service=5' semantic_index/refresh.sh
```

Override project limits, state path, or log location through environment
variables:

```sh
SEMANTIC_INDEX_PROJECT_LIMITS='customer-service=500,hiring=200' \
SEMANTIC_INDEX_LOG_DIR=/var/log/semantic-index \
SEMANTIC_INDEX_STATE_PATH=/var/lib/semantic-index/refresh_state.json \
semantic_index/refresh.sh --apply
```

Do not schedule `--force-rebuild`. Force rebuilds should stay manual because
they intentionally re-embed unchanged documents.

## MCP Stdio

```sh
python3 -m semantic_index --mcp-stdio
```

Tools:

- `semantic_search`
- `semantic_get_document`
- `semantic_list_projects`
- `semantic_backfill_redmine_sample`
- `semantic_refresh_redmine`

For agent workflows, list projects first when the user has not named a project,
search broadly or with `project_identifier` when known, then call
`semantic_get_document` for any promising result. Treat returned citations and
Redmine URLs as the authoritative references. Backfill tools are operational and
should not be part of normal search behavior.

## Inspection CLI

Use the inspect commands before larger backfills to see what is already indexed
or preview what Redmine would produce without writing to Qdrant.

```sh
python3 -m semantic_index inspect count --source redmine --project customer-service
python3 -m semantic_index inspect list --limit 20 --source redmine --project customer-service
python3 -m semantic_index inspect search "order status" --limit 5 --project customer-service
python3 -m semantic_index inspect search "customer@example.com" --limit 5 --project customer-service
python3 -m semantic_index inspect show redmine:issue:39778:chunk:0
python3 -m semantic_index inspect preview-redmine --limit 10 --project customer-service
python3 -m semantic_index inspect audit --source redmine --project customer-service --limit 500
python3 -m semantic_index inspect compare-redmine --project customer-service --limit 20
python3 -m semantic_index inspect smoke-search --project customer-service
```

`count`, `list`, `show`, and `preview-redmine` do not call OpenAI.
`search` embeds the query text. List/search output shows snippets by default;
pass `--full-text` when you need the full indexed text.
`audit` summarizes indexed document coverage without calling OpenAI.
`compare-redmine` previews live Redmine chunks and compares them to indexed
Qdrant documents without writing to Qdrant. `smoke-search` runs known search
checks and calls OpenAI for query embeddings. Pass `--json` to `audit`,
`compare-redmine`, or `smoke-search` for machine-readable output.
For mixed project samples, run `audit` without `--project` to see project-level
counts and Helpdesk-contact coverage separately from ordinary internal issues.

For Helpdesk tickets, Redmine issue ingestion expects
`/issues/:id.json?include=journals,helpdesk` to return `helpdesk_ticket`
metadata with an expanded contact. See
`docs/redmine_issue_api_helpdesk_include.md` for the Redmine API patch notes.

## Qdrant

For local Docker-hosted Qdrant:

```sh
docker run -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 -v qdrant_storage:/qdrant/storage qdrant/qdrant
```

Create snapshots with Qdrant's snapshot API or mounted storage tooling before
destructive maintenance. The default collection name is
`redmine_semantic_sample`.
