+# Session Handoff & Context
+
+**Date Saved**: June 7, 2026
+**Conversation ID**: 43f3aa27-9124-446e-9713-4e31e083b4f5
+
+## Project: Template Mapping Engine (OCR)
+A system designed to extract document layouts via OCR and allow users to map specific bounding box regions to template fields using a drag-and-drop UI. Future documents from the same vendor are automatically recognized and mapped using a heuristic template engine.
+
+## What Has Been Completed So Far
+
+### 1. Backend Startup & Dependency Fixes:
+- **Auto-Bootstrapping**: Updated `run_docengine.sh` and `run_backend.sh` to automatically set up virtual environments and install missing dependencies if key modules (`uvicorn`, `numpy`, etc.) are missing.
+- **Python 3.13 Compatibility**: Upgraded `paddlepaddle` in `docengine/requirements.txt` to `>=3.0.0` to support Python 3.13 on macOS ARM64. Added missing dependencies (`numpy`, `opencv-python-headless`, `pdf2image`) to `backend/requirements.txt`.
+- **CORS Config Fix**: Corrected a missing double-quote in `CORS_ORIGINS` in both `.env` and `.env.example` in `docengine/`.
+
+### 2. Backend Code Integrity & Framework Alignment:
+- **SQLAlchemy 2.0 / Imperative Mapping Fix**: Updated `user_roles_table` in `docengine/app/models/user.py` to use SQLAlchemy `Column` objects instead of `mapped_column`, preventing a database initialization crash.
+- **Structlog Parameter Fix**: Replaced the `event` keyword argument with `phase` in `docengine/app/events/handlers.py` to prevent a duplicate parameter `TypeError` from the structlog library.
+- **Optional Development Auth Bypass**: Modified `get_current_user` in `docengine/app/core/dependencies.py` to automatically fallback to the first database user (or a fake dev admin model) when no authorization token is supplied and `APP_ENV` is set to `"development"`. This prevents `401 Unauthorized` errors when testing endpoints locally.
+
+### 3. Frontend Angular Implementation:
+- **API Endpoint Alignments**: Removed the duplicate `/api` prefix from endpoints in `TemplateService.ts` (e.g. changing `${this.apiUrl}/api/documents/upload` to `${this.apiUrl}/documents/upload`). This resolves the `404 Not Found` error by aligning with the backend prefix `/api/v1/documents/upload`.
+
+---
+
+## Where to Pick Up Next
+1. **Initialize Database Tables**:
+   - The database currently lacks the necessary schema tables (evidenced by the error: `relation "admin.users" does not exist`).
+   - Run the setup command to build the tables and apply migrations:
+     ```bash
+     ./run_docengine.sh setup
+     ```
+2. **Retest Upload Flow**:
+   - Once database tables exist, perform a document upload from the Angular frontend to visually verify the OCR bounding boxes and layout mapper.
+3. **Verify Heuristic Template Recognition**:
+   - Test the template matching and layout coordinate storage workflows.
+
+---
+
+## How to Resume with AI Assistant
+To resume this session in a new chat, you can tell the AI:
+*"Please read `SESSION_HANDOFF.md` in the root of the OCR project to get context on the Template Engine we were building and the startup fixes, and let's continue."*

+# PROJECT: TEMPLATE-ENGINE
+
+You are a senior solution architect, senior Python backend architect, senior Angular architect, OCR/Document AI specialist, PostgreSQL database architect, and enterprise software engineer.
+
+Generate a COMPLETE production-ready application named:
+
+template-engine
+
+The solution must contain:
+
+1. Angular (latest stable version) frontend using PrimeNG.
+2. Python backend using FastAPI.
+3. PostgreSQL database.
+4. SQL migration scripts.
+5. Clean architecture.
+6. Production-grade code.
+7. Proper logging.
+8. Exception handling.
+9. DTOs / Schemas.
+10. Repository pattern.
+11. Service layer.
+12. API documentation.
+13. Unit-test ready structure.
+14. Docker support should NOT be generated now.
+15. Deployment configuration should NOT be generated now.
+
+---
+
+# BUSINESS REQUIREMENT
+
+The application is a Template Mapping Engine for invoices, purchase orders, delivery challans and similar business documents.
+
+The goal is:
+
+1. User uploads document.
+2. System extracts document layout and text.
+3. Layout preview is rendered.
+4. User creates template fields.
+5. User maps extracted document fields to template fields using drag and drop.
+6. Mapping is stored.
+7. When same vendor format arrives again, system automatically recognizes template and auto-fills mappings.
+
+---
+
+# TECHNOLOGY STACK
+
+Frontend:
+
+* Angular
+* PrimeNG
+* Angular CDK Drag and Drop
+* RxJS
+* Standalone Components
+* SCSS
+
+Backend:
+
+* Python 3.12+
+* FastAPI
+* SQLAlchemy
+* Alembic
+* Pydantic
+* PostgreSQL
+
+Document Processing:
+
+* pdfplumber
+* pymupdf (fitz)
+* pytesseract

+
+Example:
+
+{

+
+Create template fingerprint.
+
+Store:
+
+Vendor Name

+Vendor Match = 40%
+
+Header Match = 20%
+
+Layout Match = 20%
+
+Coordinate Match = 20%
+
+Threshold:
+
+85%
+
+If matched:
+
+Auto apply template.
+
+---
+
+# AUTO MAPPING ENGINE
+
+After template recognized:
+
+Find mapped coordinates.
+
+Extract values from same coordinate zones.
+
+Populate template fields automatically.
+
+Return:
+
+{
+templateMatched:true,
+templateId:1,
+confidence:96.5,
+extractedFields:[

+
+Frontend should immediately show populated template values.

+# Testing Strategy: Template Mapping Engine
+
+This document outlines the testing strategy for the Template Mapping Engine to ensure production readiness.
+
+## 1. Backend Testing (Python/FastAPI)
+
+### Unit Testing
+*   **Framework**: `pytest`
+*   **Database**: Use an in-memory SQLite database (`sqlite:///:memory:`) or a dedicated test PostgreSQL container via `testcontainers`.
+*   **Mocks**: 
+    *   Mock OCR engines (`pytesseract`, `pdfplumber`) to avoid slow I/O during test suites.
+    *   Mock file uploads using `fastapi.testclient.TestClient`.
+*   **Coverage Targets**:
+    *   **Engines**: 100% logic coverage for `TemplateRecognitionEngine` and scoring weights.
+    *   **Services**: 90% coverage for CRUD operations.
+
+### Integration Testing
+*   Test end-to-end API flows:
+    1.  `POST /api/documents/upload` with a sample PDF.
+    2.  Wait for layout extraction.
+    3.  `POST /api/templates` to create a template.
+    4.  `POST /api/templates/{id}/mappings/save` to map extracted data.
+    5.  `POST /api/documents/upload` with a similar document to verify `POST /api/documents/{id}/recognize` returns the correct template match.
+
+## 2. Frontend Testing (Angular)
+
+### Unit Testing
+*   **Framework**: Jasmine & Karma (or Jest if configured).
+*   **Component Tests**:
+    *   Verify `TemplatesComponent` renders the left and right panels.
+    *   Verify the `AddField` dialog toggles correctly and validates empty inputs.
+*   **Service Tests**:
+    *   Mock `HttpClient` using `HttpTestingController` to ensure `TemplateService` sends correct payloads to the backend.
+
+### E2E / Integration Testing
+*   **Framework**: Cypress or Playwright.
+*   **Critical User Journeys (CUJ)**:
+    1.  User uploads a document, UI displays the layout preview visually.
+    2.  User creates a template and adds 3 fields.
+    3.  User drags a block from the Document Preview and drops it into a Template Field.
+    4.  User saves the mapping successfully.
+
+## 3. OCR & Layout Extraction Accuracy Testing
+
+Since the OCR engine relies on visual heuristics rather than AI models, testing its accuracy is crucial to prevent regressions.
+
+*   **Golden Dataset**: Create a dataset of 50-100 real-world business documents (Invoices, POs, Receipts).
+*   **Evaluation Metric**: Run the `DocumentProcessor` over the Golden Dataset and compare the output bounding boxes and classifications (HEADER, VENDOR, etc.) against manually annotated Ground Truth data.
+*   **Acceptance Criteria**: Maintain > 92% classification accuracy for logical block types.
+
+## 4. Performance & Load Testing
+
+*   **Tool**: `locust` or `k6`.
+*   **Scenario**: Simulate 50 concurrent users uploading 2MB PDF documents simultaneously to ensure the `DocumentProcessor` does not exhaust server memory (OpenCV and Tesseract can be memory-intensive).
+*   **Optimization**: Ensure the `process_file` logic can be offloaded to Celery workers if the API starts blocking or timing out under load.
