# Cyclone

A self-hosted EDI claims management suite for a single billing office.
Parses 837P professional claims and 835 ERA remittances (X12 005010X222A1
and 005010X221A1), with a local-only FastAPI backend and a React UI for
browsing, filtering, and inspecting the parsed data.

Local-only on purpose: binds to `127.0.0.1`, no auth, no internet exposure.
Built for one operator, one machine, one trading partner (Colorado
Medicaid, currently).

## Install

```bash
# Backend (Python 3.11+)
cd backend
python -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -e '.[dev]'

# Frontend (Node 20+)
cd ..
npm install
```

## Dev

Two terminals:

```bash
# Terminal 1 — backend
cd backend
.venv/bin/python -m cyclone serve
# (defaults to 127.0.0.1:8000; override with CYCLONE_PORT=...; reload with CYCLONE_RELOAD=1)

# Terminal 2 — frontend
npm run dev
# (Vite on http://localhost:5173)
```

Then open `http://localhost:5173`. Drop an `.txt` 837P or 835 file on the
Upload page; navigate to Claims, Remittances, Providers, or Activity to
see the parsed data.

The frontend reads its backend URL from `VITE_API_BASE_URL` (default
empty). Create a `.env.local` at the repo root with:

```
VITE_API_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000
```

Without that, the UI falls back to its in-memory sample store via the
existing `data` adapter (parses are disabled).

## Test

```bash
# Backend
cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest

# Frontend type-check + build
npm run typecheck
npm run build

# Frontend unit tests
npm test
```

## Persistence

Parsed batches, claims, remittances, matches, and activity events are
stored in a SQLite file at `~/.local/share/cyclone/cyclone.db` by
default. The directory is auto-created on first run.

To use a different location, set `CYCLONE_DB_URL`:

```bash
export CYCLONE_DB_URL=sqlite:///path/to/cyclone.db
# or
export CYCLONE_DB_URL=postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/cyclone
```

### Backup

```bash
sqlite3 ~/.local/share/cyclone/cyclone.db ".backup /path/to/backup.db"
```

This is safe to run while the backend is running (uses SQLite's online
backup API).

## Roadmap

Sub-projects 2 and 3 are **shipped**. Next up:

- **Sub-project 3 (shipped) — More 837P/835 features.**
  - **837P validation rules:** R034 enforces `REF*G1` on frequency-code
    7/8 claims; R035 enforces `BHT06` transaction-type-code is in the
    allowed set per payer config.
  - **835 CAS deep-parsing:** every CAS adjustment now surfaces with its
    CARC reason code + label (e.g. `CO-29: The time limit for filing has
    expired`), surfaced via `GET /api/remittances/{id}` and rendered as
    an expansion row on the Remittances page.
  - **999 ACK transaction set:** full inbound parser + outbound
    serializer. Auto-generated on 837 ingest when `?ack=true` is passed
    to `POST /api/parse-837`. Persisted to the `acks` table, browsable
    on a new `/acks` page, and downloadable as the regenerated raw
    999 text.
  - **270/271 eligibility (API-only):** `POST /api/eligibility/request`
    builds a 270 from a JSON payload (subscriber, provider, payer,
    service type); `POST /api/eligibility/parse-271` ingests the
    response and returns structured `coverage_benefits`.
- **Sub-project 4 — Frontend features.** Per-claim detail drawer, batch
  diff view, real-time streaming of NDJSON GET responses, advanced
  filters (date range, multi-status, saved filter sets), keyboard-driven
  navigation.

### SP3 endpoints

- `POST /api/parse-837?ack=true` — existing 837 parse, plus optional
  auto-generated 999 ACK persisted alongside the batch.
- `POST /api/parse-999` — parse an inbound 999 ACK and persist it.
- `GET /api/acks` — list ACKs.
- `GET /api/acks/{id}` — ACK detail, including the regenerated
  `raw_999_text`.
- `POST /api/eligibility/request` — build a 270 from JSON.
- `POST /api/eligibility/parse-271` — ingest a 271 and return parsed
  coverage benefits.

The UI gains a new **Acks** page (sidebar entry) that lists persisted
ACKs and lets you download the regenerated 999 text.
