+# Cyclone Production-Readiness (local-only) — Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-19
+**Status:** Approved (pending user review of this doc)
+**Scope:** First sub-project of the four-part Cyclone roadmap. Local-only deployment (no auth, `127.0.0.1`-bound). Adds a backend in-memory batch store, GET endpoints, react-query wiring on the frontend, fresh reference notes, and a new root README. Out of scope: DB persistence, reconciliation, additional X12 transaction types, additional 837P/835 validation rules.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+The Cyclone EDI suite already has working 837P and 835 parsers, a FastAPI surface for parsing uploads, and a React frontend with an Upload page. What it does not have is a way to *browse* the parsed data — once a file is uploaded, the user sees it in the Upload page, but a refresh or page navigation loses the result, and the existing Dashboard / Claims / Remittances / Providers / Activity pages still read static sample data.
+
+This sub-project closes that loop. We add a process-local in-memory store on the backend, expose GET endpoints that match the resource shape the existing UI already expects, wire react-query into the frontend so pages fetch live data and auto-refresh after a parse, and replace the lost reference notes with a clean new docs tree.
+
+After this, a user can:
+1. Start the backend (`python -m cyclone serve`).
+2. Start the Vite dev server (`npm run dev`).
+3. Open `http://localhost:5173/upload`, drop in a `.txt` file, watch the claims stream in.
+4. Navigate to `/claims`, `/remittances`, `/providers`, `/activity` and see the data they just parsed.
+5. The whole stack is bound to `127.0.0.1`; no auth, no internet exposure.
+
+## 2. Goals
+
+1. **Persist parsed data for the session.** A new `InMemoryStore` on the backend keeps every successful parse and serves it to GET requests. Lost on backend restart — that is acceptable for a local-only tool and avoids a DB in this sub-project.
+2. **Expose GET endpoints that match the UI's resource model.** `GET /api/claims`, `/api/remittances`, `/api/providers`, `/api/activity` plus `/api/batches` and `/api/batches/{id}`. The list endpoints accept filter / sort / pagination query params and support both JSON and NDJSON streaming.
+3. **Wire the existing 4 UI pages to the live API** via `@tanstack/react-query` v5, with loading skeletons, error states, and automatic invalidation after a successful parse. Fall back to the in-memory sample store when `VITE_API_BASE_URL` is empty (the existing `data` adapter pattern stays).
+4. **Replace the lost reference notes** with 4 fresh, short notes under `docs/reference/` (~50–80 lines each) covering 837P, 835, X12 naming, and CO Medicaid specifics. Also rewrite the root `README.md`.
+5. **Tighten the local-only deploy posture.** `python -m cyclone serve` binds `127.0.0.1:8000` (not `0.0.0.0`); CORS allowlist stays `http://localhost:5173`. No auth, no API key. The README documents the exact command.
+
+## 3. Non-goals (this sub-project)
+
+- **Database persistence.** SQLite/Postgres is sub-project 2.
+- **837P ↔ 835 reconciliation.** Sub-project 2.
+- **More 837P/835 validation rules** (REF*G1 enforcement, BHT06, CAS deep-parsing). Sub-project 3.
+- **999 ACK, 270/271, or other X12 transaction types.** Sub-project 3.
+- **Auth of any kind.** Explicitly out — local-only, single-user, `127.0.0.1`-bound.
+- **Structured logging, health-check enhancements, 12-factor env config, Dockerfile.** Deferred.
+- **Dev tooling polish** (pre-commit, Makefile, CONTRIBUTING.md, .editorconfig). Deferred.
+
+## 4. Stack
+
+**Backend additions:**
+- New module `cyclone.store` (`InMemoryStore`, `BatchRecord`, mappers).
+- FastAPI (already in use). New routes added to `cyclone.api`.
+- `threading.Lock` around the store's batch list (single-process, but FastAPI may run request handlers in a threadpool).
+- `pytest` + `fastapi.testclient.TestClient` for new tests.
+
+**Frontend additions:**
+- `@tanstack/react-query` v5 added to `package.json` dependencies.
+- `QueryClientProvider` in `src/main.tsx`.
+- `useQuery` / `useMutation` hooks under `src/hooks/`.
+- `Skeleton` UI primitive added under `src/components/ui/` (re-uses `cn` helper).
+- No build-tool changes; the existing Vite + TS + Tailwind stack stays.
+
+**Docs:**
+- Plain Markdown under `docs/reference/`. No doc generator, no linter, no CI check.
+
+## 5. Architecture

+```
+
+**Data flow on parse:**
+1. User drops a file in `/upload`, clicks Parse.
+2. Frontend `useMutation` POSTs to `/api/parse-837` (or 835) with `onProgress` (NDJSON) or `Accept: application/json` for small files.
+3. Backend's existing parse route appends the resulting `ParseResult` to `InMemoryStore` on success. Failures are *not* stored.
+4. `useMutation.onSuccess` calls `queryClient.invalidateQueries(['batches'], ['claims'], ['remittances'], ['activity'])` (and 837/835-specific keys).
+5. Any open page reactively re-fetches via `useQuery` and re-renders with the new data.
+
+**Data flow on browse:**
+1. Page mount → `useQuery` fires the GET with the page's filter / sort / pagination params.
+2. First render: skeleton. Success: data. Error: error block with retry.
+3. Background: `refetchOnWindowFocus: true` (default in v5) so navigating back updates the view.
+
+## 6. Backend changes
+
+### 6.1 New module `backend/src/cyclone/store.py`
+
+```python
+class BatchRecord(BaseModel):
+ model_config = ConfigDict(extra="ignore")
+ id: str # uuid4 hex
+ kind: Literal["837p", "835"]
+ input_filename: str
+ parsed_at: datetime # tz-aware UTC
+ result: ParseResult | ParseResult835 # union discriminated by .kind
+
+class InMemoryStore:
+ def __init__(self) -> None:
+ self._batches: list[BatchRecord] = []
+ self._lock = threading.Lock()
+
+ def add(self, record: BatchRecord) -> None: ...
+ def list(self, *, limit: int = 100) -> list[BatchRecord]: ...
+ def get(self, batch_id: str) -> BatchRecord | None: ...
+ def iter_claims(self, *, batch_id: str | None = None, ...) -> Iterable[Claim]: ...
+ def iter_remittances(self, *, batch_id: str | None = None, ...) -> Iterable[Remittance]: ...
+ def distinct_providers(self) -> list[Provider]: ...
+ def recent_activity(self, *, limit: int = 200) -> list[Activity]: ...
+
+store = InMemoryStore() # module-level singleton
+```
+
+**Mappers** (`to_ui_claim`, `to_ui_remittance`, `to_ui_provider`, `to_activity_event`) live in the same file. They translate the rich backend models (Pydantic, raw segments) to the simpler UI types the GET endpoints return.
+
+**Filter / sort API:** each `iter_*` method takes the relevant filter kwargs and applies them in Python. There is no index — the in-memory list is small (single-session, dozens of batches at most). Sorting uses `sorted(..., key=..., reverse=order == "desc")`.
+
+**Threading:** every public method acquires `self._lock` (RLock, since `list` may call `get` internally) and releases it.
+
+### 6.2 New routes in `backend/src/cyclone/api.py`
+
+| Method | Path | Behavior |
+|---|---|---|
+| GET | `/api/batches` | `store.list(limit=100)`, mapped to a `BatchSummary`-shaped response. Newest first. |
+| GET | `/api/batches/{id}` | `store.get(id)`. 404 if missing. Returns the full `ParseResult` / `ParseResult835`. |
+| GET | `/api/claims` | `store.iter_claims(...)` mapped to UI `Claim[]`. Supports `batch_id`, `status`, `payer`, `provider_npi`, `date_from`, `date_to`, `sort`, `order`, `limit` (≤ 1000), `offset`. |
+| GET | `/api/remittances` | `store.iter_remittances(...)` mapped to UI `Remittance[]`. Supports `batch_id`, `payer`, `claim_id`, `date_from`, `date_to`, `sort`, `order`, `limit`, `offset`. |
+| GET | `/api/providers` | `store.distinct_providers()`. Supports `npi`, `state`, `limit`, `offset`. |
+| GET | `/api/activity` | `store.recent_activity(limit=200)`. Supports `kind`, `since`, `limit` (≤ 500). |
+| GET | `/api/health` | (unchanged) |
+
+**Streaming:** every list endpoint above accepts `Accept: application/x-ndjson`. When set, the response is a `StreamingResponse` with one JSON object per line: `{type: "item", data: {...}}` for each result, then a final `{type: "summary", data: {total: N, returned: M, has_more: bool}}`. Default JSON response wraps the same data in a `{items: [...], total: N, returned: M, has_more: bool}` envelope so the frontend can paginate uniformly.
+
+**Status mapping (837P):** each parsed `ClaimOutput` has a `validation.passed` boolean. The UI's `Claim.status` is one of `draft|submitted|accepted|denied|paid|pending`. The mapper does:
+- `validation.passed` and `frequency_code == "1"` → `submitted`
+- `validation.passed` and any `validation.warnings` → `pending`
+- `!validation.passed` and no error mentions `R050_diagnosis_present` → `denied`
+- otherwise → `draft` (rare; means validation broke somewhere)
+
+**Status mapping (835):** 835 `CLP02` status codes map to `Remittance.status` (`received|posted|reconciled`):
+- 1, 2, 19, 20 (paid, primary/secondary) → `received`
+- 4 (denied) → `received` with a `denialReason` populated from the CAS segments
+- 21, 22 (reversal of previous payment) → `reconciled` (out-of-scope: full reversal handling; the data is in `service_payments[*].adjustments`)
+- all other valid codes → `received` (default)
+- any code outside `cfg.allowed_status_codes` → still stored, mapped to `received`, and surfaced as a validation warning
+
+### 6.3 Existing parse routes — wire to the store
+
+- `POST /api/parse-837` — on success, build a `BatchRecord(kind="837p", result=result)` and call `store.add(...)` *before* returning the response. On `CycloneParseError` or any unhandled exception, do *not* add.
+- `POST /api/parse-835` — same pattern with `kind="835"`.
+- Both routes also stamp `parsed_at` and generate `id = uuid.uuid4().hex`.
+
+### 6.4 Uvicorn invocation
+
+`cyclone/__main__.py`'s `serve` branch:
+```python
+sys.argv = [sys.argv[0], "cyclone.api:app", "--host", "127.0.0.1", "--port", "8000"]
+```
+- `--host 127.0.0.1` (not `0.0.0.0`).
+- `--port 8000` (configurable via `CYCLONE_PORT` env, default `8000`).
+- `--reload` only when `CYCLONE_RELOAD=1` (dev convenience).
+
+CORS in `api.py` stays as-is: `allow_origins=["http://localhost:5173"]`.
+
+## 7. Frontend changes
+
+### 7.1 Dependencies
+
+Add to `package.json`:
+```json
+"dependencies": {
+ ...
+ "@tanstack/react-query": "^5.59.0"
+}
+```
+
+### 7.2 `src/main.tsx`
+
+Wrap the existing `` in `` where `queryClient` is a module-level `new QueryClient({ defaultOptions: { queries: { staleTime: 30_000, refetchOnWindowFocus: true } } })`.
+
+### 7.3 `src/lib/api.ts` — add GET methods
+
+Mirror the existing `request` helper. New methods (all return `Promise`):
+```ts
+api.listBatches(): Promise
+api.getBatch(id: string): Promise
+api.listClaims(params: ListClaimsParams): Promise>
+api.listRemittances(params: ListRemittancesParams): Promise>
+api.listProviders(params?: ListProvidersParams): Promise>
+api.listActivity(params?: ListActivityParams): Promise>
+```
+
+NDJSON streaming is *not* required for the initial frontend wiring (the existing Upload page already streams from the POST); GET is fine as JSON. The streaming option on GET is for future large-batch scenarios and is a backend-side capability only.
+
+### 7.4 `src/hooks/` — new query / mutation hooks
+
+```ts
+// src/hooks/useBatches.ts
+export function useBatches() {
+ return useQuery({ queryKey: ['batches'], queryFn: () => api.listBatches() });
+}
+
+// src/hooks/useClaims.ts
+export function useClaims(params: ListClaimsParams) {
+ return useQuery({ queryKey: ['claims', params], queryFn: () => api.listClaims(params) });
+}
+
+// ... useRemittances, useProviders, useActivity similarly ...
+
+// src/hooks/useParse.ts
+export function useParse(kind: '837p' | '835') {
+ const queryClient = useQueryClient();
+ return useMutation({
+ mutationFn: ({ file, onProgress }) =>
+ kind === '837p' ? api.parse837(file, { onProgress }) : api.parse835(file, { onProgress }),
+ onSuccess: () => {
+ queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['batches'] });
+ queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['claims'] });
+ queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['remittances'] });
+ queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['providers'] });
+ queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['activity'] });
+ },
+ });
+}
+```
+
+### 7.5 Page refactors
+
+| Page | Current | New |
+|---|---|---|
+| `src/pages/Claims.tsx` | `useAppStore((s) => s.claims)` | `useClaims({ status, search })`; falls back to store data when `!api.isConfigured` (handled in the hook) |
+| `src/pages/Remittances.tsx` | store-backed | `useRemittances({})` |
+| `src/pages/Providers.tsx` | store-backed | `useProviders({})` |
+| `src/pages/ActivityLog.tsx` | store-backed | `useActivity({ since: now - 7d })`, `refetchInterval: 30_000` |
+| `src/pages/Upload.tsx` | uses `useMutation`-less `addParsedBatch` | replace mutation with `useParse(kind)`; keep `addParsedBatch` for the "recent batches" list, but the live-data pages will refresh from the server |
+
+Each page gains: `` rows during `isLoading`, an error block with "Retry" button on `isError`, and a small footer showing `{returned} of {total}` when `has_more` is true.
+
+**Fallback when `VITE_API_BASE_URL` is empty:** the existing `data` adapter in `src/lib/api.ts` continues to provide a path that reads from the in-memory zustand store. Each new hook checks `api.isConfigured` and either runs the react-query path (default) or returns a synchronous result from the store via `useSyncExternalStore`. Page components don't need to know which path is active. The `data` adapter is removed in a follow-up sub-project once no caller depends on it.
+
+### 7.6 UI primitive: `src/components/ui/skeleton.tsx`
+
+~10 lines, shadcn-style: ``. No new dep.

+### 8.4 `docs/reference/co-medicaid.md` (~80 lines)
+
+- Trading partner ID (TPID) — sender / receiver roles in 837P and 835.
+- Payer IDs:
+ - 837P: `NM1*PR N104 = "SKCO0"` (COHCPF).
+ - 835: `BPR10 = "81-1725341"` (TXIX) or `"84-0644739"` (BHA); `N1*PR N104 = "7912900843"`.

+- POS codes: full CMS set (89 codes; canonical list in `cyclone.parsers.payer.CMS_PLACE_OF_SERVICE_CODES`).
+
+### 8.5 `README.md` (root, rewrite)
+
+Sections:
+- **What is Cyclone?** — 1 paragraph. EDI claim parser + browser UI.
+- **Install** — `git clone`, `cd backend && python -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -e '.[dev]'`, `cd .. && npm install`.
+- **Dev** — two terminals: `cd backend && .venv/bin/python -m cyclone serve` and `npm run dev`. Open `http://localhost:5173`.
+- **Test** — `cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest` and `npm run build`.
+- **Project layout** — `backend/` (Python API + parsers), `src/` (React UI), `docs/reference/` (companion notes), `docs/prodfiles/` (sample EDI files).
+- **Roadmap** — short list of sub-projects 2–4 with one-line descriptions and a note that they're not in this build.
+- **License** — no license file yet; add a `LICENSE` file when one is decided. The project is internal-use until then.
+
+## 9. Error handling
+
+- **Backend store errors:** none expected (in-memory, no I/O). If a `BatchRecord.result` doesn't conform (e.g. we tried to store a result from a code path that returns `None`), the model validator fails loudly at insertion time.
+- **GET route errors:** `404` for missing `batch_id`; `400` for invalid query params (FastAPI's default validation handles this); `500` only for unexpected bugs.
+- **NDJSON streaming:** on a serialization error mid-stream, the response is already partially written; we log the error and end the stream. The client sees a truncated response and the final summary line is missing. The frontend falls back to "show what we have" and shows a toast.
+- **Frontend:** `useQuery` exposes `isError` + `error`. Each page renders an error block with a retry button that calls `refetch()`. Network errors show a sonner toast on top of the inline error.
+- **Parse failure:** the parse route already returns 400 / 422 with a clear message. The Upload page shows a destructive toast. The store is unchanged (failed parses are not persisted).
+
+## 10. Testing
+
+### 10.1 Backend (`backend/tests/`)
+
+- `test_store.py` (~8 tests) — add/list/get; concurrent adds under a thread; mapper functions; filter / sort / paginate; distinct providers; activity derivation.
+- `test_api_gets.py` (~12 tests) — one happy-path + one filter test per new GET endpoint (6 endpoints × 2 = 12); plus one 404 test for `/api/batches/{id}`.
+- `test_api_streaming.py` (1 test) — `Accept: application/x-ndjson` on `/api/claims` returns parseable lines.
+- `test_api_parse_persists.py` (2 tests) — parse-837 followed by `GET /api/claims` returns the claim; failed parse does *not* create a batch.
+
+Total new backend tests: **~23**.
+
+### 10.2 Frontend (`src/`)
+
+- `src/lib/api.test.ts` — extend with 3 tests: `listClaims` builds the right URL with params, `listBatches` hits `/api/batches`, `getBatch` returns `ParseResult835` when `kind === "835"`.
+- No DOM / component tests in this sub-project. The page refactors are small and the smoke test below is the integration check.
+
+### 10.3 End-to-end smoke test (manual, documented in the plan)
+
+```
+# Terminal 1
+cd backend && .venv/bin/python -m cyclone serve
+
+# Terminal 2
+npm run dev
+
+# In a third terminal
+cd backend && .venv/bin/python -m cyclone.cli parse-837 tests/fixtures/co_medicaid_837p.txt --output-dir /tmp/co-837
+# (this populates a real production-like batch; we don't need the JSON files for the test, just the upload flow)
+
+# In a browser: open http://localhost:5173/upload, drop tests/fixtures/co_medicaid_837p.txt
+# Verify: claims stream in, summary toast appears, navigate to /claims and see them
+```
+
+## 11. Migration / rollout
+
+- No DB, so no migration.
+- The frontend's existing `data` adapter stays during the transition. We delete it in a follow-up once no one calls it.
+- The new `InMemoryStore` is empty on first run. Existing parse-837/parse-835 callers see no behavior change (they still get the parse result; we just *also* add to the store now).
+- A uvicorn restart wipes the store. That is by design and called out in the README.
+
+## 12. Out of scope (explicitly)
+
+- DB persistence, Alembic migrations, transactional safety.
+- 837P ↔ 835 reconciliation (matching payouts to original claims).
+- 999 ACK, 270/271, or other X12 transaction types.
+- More 837P validation rules beyond what already ships.
+- 835 CAS deep-parsing with reason-code explanations.
+- Auth (any kind: API key, JWT, session).
+- Rate limiting, request size limits beyond FastAPI defaults.
+- Structured logging, log levels via env, JSON logs.
+- Health-check enhancements (uptime, parser state, last-batch timestamp).
+- 12-factor env config beyond `CYCLONE_PORT` and `CYCLONE_RELOAD`.
+- Docker / docker-compose / any deploy artifact.
+- Pre-commit hooks, Makefile, .editorconfig, CONTRIBUTING.md, lint config.
+- Component tests for the React pages.
+- E2E browser tests (Playwright/Cypress).
+
+## 13. Acceptance checklist
+
+- [ ] `pytest` passes with the new store + GET tests; total ≥ 121 + 23 = 144.
+- [ ] `npm run build` still passes.
+- [ ] `python -m cyclone serve` binds to `127.0.0.1:8000` and refuses connections from non-loopback.
+- [ ] Upload page streams a 2-claim CO fixture; navigating to `/claims` shows the same 2 claims.
+- [ ] Filtering by `status=submitted` on `/api/claims` returns the right subset; UI shows the same.
+- [ ] `GET /api/claims` with `Accept: application/x-ndjson` returns valid NDJSON.
+- [ ] Restarting the backend wipes the in-memory store; the UI shows "no claims yet" on first refresh.
+- [ ] All 4 reference notes exist under `docs/reference/` and the root `README.md` is rewritten.
+- [ ] The frontend still works without a backend (`VITE_API_BASE_URL` empty) — pages fall back to the zustand sample store via the existing `data` adapter.
