I need to continue work on the SNAPPED Pipeline clustering system. In the previous session, we analyzed two clustering engines and identified critical bugs that need immediate fixes before we can proceed with implementation.
- Working Directory:
<repo-root>/ - Database: Supabase project
<project-ref>(MCP connected) - Docker: Production setup ready
- Current State: 183 clusters (0 duplicates), 169 unclustered articles waiting
The similarity weights in /clustering/config/clustering_config.py sum to 1.2 instead of 1.0:
# BROKEN - sums to 1.2:
perp_name: 0.50
crime_type: 0.15
crime_date: 0.15
crime_location: 0.30
text_similarity: 0.10This causes inflated similarity scores and needs immediate correction to:
# FIXED - sums to 1.0:
perp_name: 0.45
crime_type: 0.15
crime_date: 0.15
crime_location: 0.20
text_similarity: 0.05169 articles are ready for clustering. Once the weight bug is fixed, run:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.production.yml run clustering python -m clustering
./run_duplicate_monitor.sh- ClusterEngine: Currently active, prevents duplicates, no LLM usage
- HybridClusteringEngine: Creates rich summaries with LLM, but lacks multi-session support
- Strategy Document: CLUSTERING_ENGINE_STRATEGY_V3.md with complete UnifiedClusteringService implementation
- UnifiedClusteringService: Combines both engines (code provided in V3 strategy)
- FormatAdapter: Converts between incompatible JSON formats
- Enrichment Queue: Background processing for LLM enrichment
- Monitoring: Metrics collection and cost tracking
- Fix weight configuration bug
- Run clustering on 169 articles
- Verify no duplicates created
- Identify high-priority clusters for enrichment
- Create
/clustering/services/unified_clustering_service.pyfrom V3 strategy - Implement FormatAdapter for JSON compatibility
- Add enrichment queue with cost controls
- Test with selective enrichment
- Remove backup files (working_service_backup.py, etc.)
- Consolidate test files into tests/ directory
- Add proper logging and monitoring
- Update documentation
- Current Implementation:
/clustering/working_service.py - Strategy:
/CLUSTERING_ENGINE_STRATEGY_V3.md(complete implementation) - Config:
/clustering/config/clustering_config.py(needs weight fix) - Monitoring:
./run_duplicate_monitor.sh
- ClusterEngine uses multi-factor similarity with veto logic
- HybridEngine uses simple similarity but creates better summaries
- JSON formats are incompatible between engines
- UI expects HybridEngine format
- Weight bug fixed and clustering runs successfully
- ~80-100 new clusters created from 169 articles
- Zero duplicates (verified by monitor)
- UnifiedClusteringService implemented and tested
- Selective enrichment working with <$1/day API cost
- Should we add geographic fields to database now or defer?
- What's the priority threshold for cluster enrichment?
- Do we have OpenAI API keys configured for enrichment?
Please help me:
- First, fix the critical weight configuration bug
- Run clustering on the 169 unclustered articles
- Begin implementing the UnifiedClusteringService from the V3 strategy
- Avoid creating new workaround code - fix issues directly in the existing codebase
All implementation code is provided in CLUSTERING_ENGINE_STRATEGY_V3.md - we just need to execute the plan.
