πŸ”§ Helper Functions Added

Core Helpers (Lines 666-823)

  1. _validate_user_id(user_id: str, source: str = "api") -> str

    • Validates user_id based on source (UI or API)
    • UI source: Only allows 'ADMINONLY'
    • API source: Accepts 'Admin_J' (base) or any valid format (auto-created)
    • Returns 'Admin_J' if invalid format
    • Auto-creates new users in database via _ensure_user_exists()
  2. _extract_session_id(session_text: str, allow_generate: bool) -> str

    • Robust parsing with multiple regex patterns
    • Never generates new ID if allow_generate=False
    • Comprehensive error handling
  3. _extract_interaction_count(session_text: str) -> int

    • Parses interaction count from session text
    • Returns 0 if not found
  4. _get_interaction_count_from_db(session_id: str, user_id: str) -> int

    • Queries database for actual interaction count
    • Returns 0 if query fails
  5. _create_error_response(error_msg: str, history: list) -> tuple

    • Standardized error response format
    • Matches expected return structure
  6. _validate_chat_inputs(message, history, user_id, session_text) -> tuple

    • Comprehensive validation for chat endpoints
    • Returns (is_valid, session_id, validated_user_id, error_msg)

Preference Helpers (Lines 965-1064)

  1. _save_preferences_to_db(session_id, user_id, preferences) -> bool

    • Saves preferences to database
    • Falls back to in-memory cache
    • Creates table if needed
  2. _load_preferences_from_db(session_id, user_id) -> dict

    • Loads preferences from database
    • Returns empty dict if not found

πŸ“Š Database Schema Enhancement

New Table: user_preferences

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS user_preferences (
    session_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    user_id TEXT,
    preferences_json TEXT,
    updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    FOREIGN KEY (session_id) REFERENCES sessions(session_id)
)

Features:

  • Stores preferences as JSON for flexibility
  • Tracks update timestamp
  • Foreign key relationship with sessions table
  • Auto-created on first use

πŸ” Error Handling Strategy

1. Input Validation Errors

  • Return standardized error responses
  • Log warnings for invalid inputs
  • Never crash - always degrade gracefully

2. Database Errors

  • Fallback to in-memory cache
  • Continue execution with default values
  • Log errors without breaking flow

3. Session ID Extraction Errors

  • Generate new ID only when allow_generate=True
  • Preserve session continuity by returning original text
  • Multiple parsing patterns for robustness

4. GPU Cleanup Errors

  • Detect cleanup-specific errors
  • Recompute result without GPU decorator
  • Distinguish cleanup errors from real processing errors

πŸ“ Logging Enhancements

All endpoints now include:

  • βœ… Input validation logging (warnings for invalid inputs)
  • βœ… Error logging with stack traces (exc_info=True)
  • βœ… Success logging with details
  • βœ… Debug logging for non-critical issues
  • βœ… Comprehensive operation context

Log Levels Used:

  • logger.info() β€” Successful operations
  • logger.warning() β€” Invalid inputs, fallbacks
  • logger.error() β€” Errors with stack traces
  • logger.debug() β€” Non-critical information

πŸ“– Usage Examples

Example 1: Chat Handler with Validation

# Valid call (base Admin_J user)
result = safe_gpu_chat_handler(
    message="Hello",
    history=[],
    user_id="Admin_J",
    session_text="Session: abc12345 | User: Admin_J | Interactions: 0"
)

# Valid call (dynamic user - auto-created)
result = safe_gpu_chat_handler(
    message="Hello",
    history=[],
    user_id="ExternalAPI_User123",  # New user - auto-created in DB
    session_text="Session: abc12345 | User: ExternalAPI_User123 | Interactions: 0"
)

# Invalid call (empty message) - returns error response
result = safe_gpu_chat_handler(
    message="",
    history=[],
    user_id="Admin_J",
    session_text="Session: abc12345 | User: Admin_J | Interactions: 0"
)

Example 2: Save Preferences

# Save preferences
save_preferences(
    show_reasoning=True,
    show_agent_trace=False,
    response_speed="Balanced",
    cache_enabled=True
)
# Preferences saved to database and cache

Example 3: Update Session Info

# Update session info - preserves session ID
update_session_info(
    user_id="Admin_J",
    session_text="Session: abc12345 | User: Admin_J | Interactions: 5"
)
# Returns: "Session: abc12345 | User: Admin_J | Interactions: 5"
# Session ID preserved, interaction count from database
