# PLAN: Adapt `summarize` and `convert` Commands

**Status:** ✅ All Phases Complete  

**Last Updated:** 2026-03-24

**Completion:** All phases implemented.  

**NOTE:** See "Known Limitations" section for current constraints and "Planned Improvements" for roadmap.

---

## Known Limitations

| # | Limitation | Current Behavior | Planned Fix |

|---|------------|------------------|-------------|

| 1 | **Large Document Handling** | Documents >500K tokens truncated to 100K | Semantic chunking |

| 2 | **Rate Limiting** | Retry logic (3 retries, 5s delay) | Connection pooling |

| 3 | **LibreOffice Dependency** | Requires local LibreOffice | pdf-remote-converter fallback |

| 4 | **Memory Pressure** | Handled by kreuzberg | Keep current approach |

### Current Mitigations

1. **Large Document Handling**: 

   - Documents >500K tokens are truncated to `MAX_TOKENS` (default 100K)

   - Truncation may lose important content at the end of documents

   - Cache stored in `.ai/` subdirectory

2. **Rate Limiting**: 

   - 3GPP FTP may rate-limit requests

   - `fetch_tdoc_files()` implements retry logic with exponential backoff

   - Max 3 retries with 5-second delays

3. **LibreOffice Dependency**: 

   - `convert-lo` requires LibreOffice installed on the system

   - Graceful error message if not available

4. **Memory Pressure**: 

   - Large PDFs may consume significant memory during extraction

   - `kreuzberg` handles this internally but large documents (>100 pages) may be slow

---

## Planned Improvements

### 1. Semantic Chunking for Large Documents

**Goal:** Preserve context across document boundaries instead of simple truncation.

**Design:**

```python

from enum import Enum

from dataclasses import dataclass

class ChunkingStrategy(Enum):

    """Document chunking strategies."""

    TRUNCATE = "truncate"      # Current: simple truncation

    SEMANTIC = "semantic"      # Split on section boundaries

    OVERLAP = "overlap"        # Overlapping chunks with context

@dataclass

class ChunkingConfig:

    """Configuration for document chunking."""

    strategy: ChunkingStrategy = ChunkingStrategy.TRUNCATE

    max_tokens: int = 100_000

    overlap_tokens: int = 500  # For overlap strategy

    respect_sections: bool = True  # For semantic strategy

```

**Implementation Location:** `packages/3gpp-ai/threegpp_ai/operations/chunking.py`

**Dependencies:** `tiktoken` for token counting

---

### 2. Connection Pooling for HTTP Requests

**Goal:** Improve throughput and reduce rate-limiting for batch operations.

**Design:**

```python

from dataclasses import dataclass

import aiohttp

@dataclass

class PoolConfig:

    """HTTP connection pool configuration."""

    max_connections: int = 10

    max_per_host: int = 5

    connection_timeout: float = 30.0

    enable_retry: bool = True

    retry_attempts: int = 3

```

**Implementation Location:** `src/tdoc_crawler/http_client.py` (extend `create_cached_session`)

**Dependencies:** `aiohttp` for async pooling

---

### 3. PDF Remote Converter (LibreOffice Alternative)

**Goal:** Offer cloud-based PDF conversion when LibreOffice unavailable.

**Repository:** https://forge.3gpp.org/rep/reimes/pdf-remote-converter

**Design:**

```python

from enum import Enum

from dataclasses import dataclass

class ConverterBackend(Enum):

    """PDF conversion backends."""

    LIBREOFFICE = "libreoffice"  # Local LibreOffice (current)

    REMOTE = "remote"            # pdf-remote-converter API

    AUTO = "auto"                # Try local, fallback to remote

@dataclass

class ConverterConfig:

    """PDF converter configuration."""

    backend: ConverterBackend = ConverterBackend.AUTO

    api_key: str | None = None  # For remote backend

    api_base: str = "https://pdf-convert.3gpp.org"  # Default API endpoint

```

**Implementation Location:** `packages/3gpp-ai/threegpp_ai/operations/convert.py`

**Dependencies:** Add `pdf-remote-converter` as optional extra

**Installation:**

```bash

# Users without LibreOffice can install:

uv sync --extra pdf-remote

# Or set environment variable:

export PDF_REMOTE_API_KEY="your-api-key"

```

---

## Error Handling Patterns

### Exception Hierarchy

```python

# In threegpp_ai/models.py

class TDocError(Exception):

    """Base exception for TDoc operations."""

    document_id: str

class TDocNotFoundError(TDocError):

    """TDoc not found in database or external sources."""

    pass

class ExtractionError(TDocError):

    """Failed to extract content from document."""

    reason: str

class ConversionError(TDocError):

    """Failed to convert document to target format."""

    source_format: str

    target_format: str

class ClassificationError(TDocError):

    """Failed to classify multi-file TDoc."""

    available_files: list[str]

```

### CLI Error Messages

| Error | CLI Output | Exit Code |

|-------|-----------|-----------|

| TDoc not found | `[red]Error: TDoc 'S4-999999' not found in database or WhatTheSpec[/red]` | 1 |

| No files available | `[red]Error: No downloadable files for 'SP-240001'[/red]` | 1 |

| Conversion failed | `[red]Error: Failed to convert S4-260001: LibreOffice not available[/red]` | 1 |

| Classification failed | `[red]Error: Cannot determine primary file for 'S4-260001'[/red]` | 1 |

---

## Rollback Plan

### Workspace Operations

| Operation | Rollback Command | Notes |

|-----------|-----------------|-------|

| `workspace create` | `workspace delete <name>` | Safe, removes from registry |

| `workspace add-members` | Manual removal via DB edit | Preserve workspace integrity |

| `workspace process` | `workspace clear` | Clears LightRAG artifacts only |

| `workspace clear` | Re-run `workspace process` | Idempotent operation |

### Conversion Cache

```bash

# Force reconversion (ignores cache)

3gpp-ai convert S4-260001 --force

# Clear specific document cache

rm ~/.3gpp-crawler/checkout/TSG_SA/WG4_CODEC/TSGS4_131-bis-e/Docs/S4-260001/.ai/S4-260001.md

# Clear all AI caches for a workspace

3gpp-ai workspace clear

```

---

## CLI Examples

### Convert Command

```bash

# Basic conversion (outputs to stdout)

3gpp-ai convert S4-260001

# Save to file

3gpp-ai convert S4-260001 --output ./S4-260001.md

# Force reconversion (ignore cache)

3gpp-ai convert S4-260001 --force

# JSON output for scripting

3gpp-ai convert S4-260001 --json --output ./output/

# Pipeline usage

3gpp-ai convert S4-260001 --json | jq -r '.output'

```

### Summarize Command

```bash

# Basic summary (200 words default)

3gpp-ai summarize S4-260001

# Custom word count

3gpp-ai summarize S4-260001 --words 500

# Force re-summarization

3gpp-ai summarize S4-260001 --force

# Use in reports

echo "## Summary" && 3gpp-ai summarize S4-260001 --words 100

```

### Workspace Integration

```bash

# Create workspace and add documents

3gpp-ai workspace create my-analysis

3gpp-ai workspace add-members -w my-analysis S4-260001 S4-260002

# Process through LightRAG

3gpp-ai workspace process -w my-analysis

# Query the knowledge graph

3gpp-ai rag query "What are the codec requirements?"

```

## Performance Metrics

### Design

```python

from dataclasses import dataclass, field

from datetime import datetime

from enum import Enum

class MetricType(Enum):

    """Types of performance metrics."""

    EXTRACTION = "extraction"

    CONVERSION = "conversion"

    SUMMARIZATION = "summarization"

    GRAPH_BUILD = "graph_build"

@dataclass

class DocumentMetric:

    """Single metric measurement."""

    document_id: str

    metric_type: MetricType

    duration_seconds: float

    success: bool

    timestamp: datetime = field(default_factory=datetime.now)

    error: str | None = None

    cache_hit: bool = False

    tokens_used: int | None = None

@dataclass

class MetricsTracker:

    """Aggregate metrics for reporting."""

    metrics: list[DocumentMetric] = field(default_factory=list)

    def record(self, metric: DocumentMetric) -> None:

        """Record a new metric."""

        self.metrics.append(metric)

    def summary(self) -> dict:

        """Generate summary statistics."""

        return {

            "total_operations": len(self.metrics),

            "success_rate": sum(1 for m in self.metrics if m.success) / len(self.metrics),

            "cache_hit_rate": sum(1 for m in self.metrics if m.cache_hit) / len(self.metrics),

            "avg_duration": sum(m.duration_seconds for m in self.metrics) / len(self.metrics),

        }

```

### Implementation Location

`packages/3gpp-ai/threegpp_ai/operations/metrics.py`

### Usage

```python

# In convert_tdoc_to_markdown()

tracker = MetricsTracker()

start = time.time()

try:

    markdown = convert_tdoc_to_markdown(doc_id)

    tracker.record(DocumentMetric(

        document_id=doc_id,

        metric_type=MetricType.CONVERSION,

        duration_seconds=time.time() - start,

        success=True,

        cache_hit=cache_hit,

    ))

except Exception as e:

    tracker.record(DocumentMetric(

        document_id=doc_id,

        metric_type=MetricType.CONVERSION,

        duration_seconds=time.time() - start,

        success=False,

        error=str(e),

    ))

```
