## 3. AI Semantic Search & PgVector Embedding Engine

DietConfetti features a state-of-the-art vector similarity search accessible globally via the header or keyboard shortcut (`Cmd+K` / `Ctrl+K`).

### 3.1 Architecture & Query Flow
1. **User Query Input:** The user types a query (e.g. "quick low-carb breakfast without eggs").
2. **Redis Embedding Cache Lookup:** The system normalizes the query (`{domain}_{normalized_search_term}`) and checks Redis DB `1`.
   - **Cache Hit (<10ms):** Returns the pre-computed 1536-dimensional vector immediately; asynchronously renews TTL (7-day sliding window).
   - **Cache Miss:** Calls Google Gemini API (`gemini-embedding-2` / `gemini-embedding-001`), computes the vector, asynchronously stores it in Redis with a 7-day TTL, and proceeds.
3. **PgVector Cosine Similarity Query:** Executes a PostgreSQL query using the `<=>` cosine distance operator:
   ```sql
   SELECT id, title, slug, excerpt, (1 - (embedding <=> query_vector)) AS similarity
   FROM posts
   WHERE status = 'published'
   ORDER BY embedding <=> query_vector ASC
   LIMIT 10;
   ```
4. **Sub-millisecond Join Resolution:** In-memory Node.js category and taxonomy mapping eliminates SQL N+1 query bottlenecks.
5. **Fail-Open Resilience:** If Gemini API quotas are reached or Redis is offline, the search engine automatically and seamlessly falls back to SQL `ilike` substring pattern matching, ensuring 100% uptime.

## 4. AI Content Refinement Suite & Generative Tools

DietConfetti includes an enterprise-grade AI content refinement workflow embedded directly into the rich text editor (Tiptap).

### 4.1 Server-Sent Events (SSE) Streaming Pipeline
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    participant Editor as Client Editor (Tiptap)
    participant Route as Server Route (/api/ai/stream)
    participant DB as PostgreSQL (Drizzle)
    participant Gemini as Google Gemini Pro API

    Editor->>Route: POST {content, instruction, promptType, postTitle, contentType}
    Route->>DB: Fetch user AI agent settings & prompt templates
    Route->>Gemini: Stream Generation (custom system prompt + context)
    Gemini-->>Route: Yield chunks (<thinking>...</thinking><respond>...</respond>)
    Route-->>Editor: Server-Sent Event Stream
    Editor->>Editor: Parse <thinking> (accordion 1) vs <respond> (accordion 2)
    Editor->>Editor: Click APPLY -> Injects semantic HTML/MD back into Tiptap AST
```

### 4.2 Core AI Operations
- **`refactor_content`:** Corrects grammar, improves flow, elevates vocabulary, and harmonizes brand voice while preserving formatting.
- **`extend_content`:** Deepens draft outlines into rich, comprehensive sections with scientific explanations and helpful culinary tips.
- **`recommend_categories`:** Evaluates article body text and automatically suggests optimal category placements.
- **`recommend_taxonomy`:** Classifies content across multi-dimensional matrices (Diets, Intolerances, Meal Types).
- **`recommend_seo`:** Formulates search-optimized meta titles, meta descriptions, and URL slugs.
- **`recommend_tags`:** Generates high-relevance organic tags for internal discovery.
- **`recommend_excerpt`:** Condenses long-form articles into engaging editorial teasers.

### 4.3 Bidirectional AST Preservation
The refinement engine translates Tiptap JSON AST trees into clean semantic HTML or Markdown before passing to the LLM, and accurately re-hydrates the returned output into Tiptap JSON with zero formatting corruption.

### 4.4 Telemetry & Cost Governance
Every generative invocation is recorded in `ai_history_log`:
- Handshake status ("pending" -> "completed" / "failed")
- Total stream latency (in milliseconds)
- Exact prompt token and completion token counts
- Calculated API costs based on model tier rates

## 5. SaaS Headless Blog Architecture (`@headless-blog/sdk`)

DietConfetti's backend is accessible via the Headless Blog API (`https://api.headless.blog/v1`), designed for multi-platform content syndication (iOS, Android, secondary websites, smart displays).

### 5.1 Security & Zero-Domain Token Authentication
- Requires an API key passed via `Authorization: Bearer <token>` or `x-api-key: <token>`.
- Zero-domain resolution guarantees complete multi-tenant cryptographic isolation.

### 5.2 Edge CDN & Media Delivery
- Automatic relative path replacement (`/content/...` -> `https://cdn.headless.blog/_next/image?url=...`).
- Responsive image scaling (`featuredImagePathThumbnail`), edge caching, and WebP compression.

### 5.3 API Endpoints Overview
- `GET /v1/init`: Global bootstrap configuration, navigation menus, post types, site settings.
- `GET /v1/posts`: Filtered, paginated post lists with category, tag, and taxonomy query support.
- `GET /v1/posts/:slug`: Single post payload including HTML/Markdown content, author profile, and related articles.
- `GET /v1/categories`: Category taxonomy tree.
- `GET /v1/taxonomies`: Multi-dimensional classification groups and terms.
- `GET /v1/sitemap`: Real-time structured sitemap objects with multi-language alternates.
- `POST /v1/search`: Vector embedding semantic search endpoint.

## 6. Sitemaps, Discoverability & LLM Integration Standards

### Sitemaps & Canonical Discoverability
- **Sitemap Index:** `https://dietconfetti.com/sitemap.xml` dynamically generated via Next.js App Router (`src/app/sitemap.ts`).
- **llms.txt Guide:** `https://dietconfetti.com/llms.txt` provides the curated table of contents and semantic overview.
- **llms-full.txt:** `https://dietconfetti.com/llms-full.txt` (this document) provides full architectural depth.
- **Link Relations:** All HTML pages declare `<link rel="describedby" href="/llms.txt" type="text/markdown" />` to facilitate autonomous agent discovery.
