# Extending the framework (extension points)
portfolio-optimiser is a generic core with explicit **config seams** (D4/D5, 90 %-prinsippet):
you onboard a new project, a new data source, or a new model-map **without editing the core
`src/portfolio_optimiser/*.py`**. The three guides below name the exact seam for each.
> **Honesty note (rent teknisk rammeverk).** The bundled reference domain
> (`data/reference_projects.json` + `data/docs/<id>/`) is a set of **SYNTHETIC, AI-authored
> fixtures** — fictional construction-cost projects, dummy estimates, and placeholder
> `verdict_input` decisions. They are flagged in each file's `_note`. A production deployer
> **replaces the data source** with their own and supplies **Layer-2 verdicts via real HITL**
> (fageksperter), not static config. The static `verdict_input` field is a test-fixture
> convenience that stands in for the durable HITL verdict in the offline synthetic framework.
## Legg til eget prosjekt
A new project is **config + docs only** — no code change (this is exercised by the SC1 test
`test_e_new_project_flows_through_via_config_only` + the `test_f_no_hardcoded_project_ids_in_src`
guard, which fails if any project id leaks into `src/`).
1. Append an entry to `src/portfolio_optimiser/data/reference_projects.json` with the full key
set: `id`, `name`, `description`, `currency`, `cost_items`, **`docs_dir`**, and
**`verdict_input`** (`{"decision", "rationale"}`).
- `docs_dir` is a path **relative to the package `data/` root** (e.g. `"docs/MY-PROJECT"`);
the loader (`reference_domain.load_reference_projects`) resolves it to an absolute path.
- `verdict_input` carries the (synthetic) Layer-2 decision/rationale; flag it in the file's
`_note` as synthetic if it is not a real expert verdict.
2. Create the bundled docs folder `src/portfolio_optimiser/data/docs/<id>/` with at least one
text file whose content names the cost-saving measure/terms (so `retrieve_chunks` returns at
least one citable chunk).
3. Run the project: `run_portfolio(["MY-PROJECT"], "local", client_factory=...)` (or include it
in the default fan-out by passing no `project_ids`).
## Legg til egen datakilde
The retriever (`retrieval.py` / `datasource.py`) reads a **local docs folder** per project,
selected by the project's `docs_dir` in `reference_projects.json`. To point a project at your own
data, change its `docs_dir` to your folder and drop your cost documentation there — the citation
seam (`{file, locator, snippet, score}`) is identical on the in-process tool and MCP paths. The
folder is boundary-checked (fail-closed) against path traversal, so keep documents inside the
configured `docs_dir`. A real deployer swaps the bundled synthetic docs for their own source.
## Legg til egen modell-map
Model choice is **config, not code** (B12): `src/portfolio_optimiser/data/model_map.json` maps
`profile -> role -> model/deployment` (`resolve_model(profile, role)`). To use your own models:
- Edit the `local` block to your local model ids (Ollama/LM Studio), and/or
- Edit the `azure` block to your Foundry deployment names (the placeholders
`REPLACE-WITH-FOUNDRY-DEPLOYMENT` are tenant-specific — replace them or supply via env).
The role keys (`proposer`, `checker`, `default`) let you assign a distinct model per debate role;
`default` is the fallback when a role is unmapped.
## Legg til en ingest-kilde (http-familien som worked example)
The **ingest layer** (`ingest.py`, spec `shared/ingest-spec.md`) is a second, distinct source
seam from the retriever above: one JSON **manifest** per source coupling declares a `source.type`
and a list of extractions; `materialize(...)` runs the connector for that type and writes an OKF
bundle.
> **Where to change it (2026-07-20):** `ingest.py` is a thin adapter — Door A is implemented by
> the shared [`llm-ingestion-okf`](https://git.fromaitochitta.com/open/llm-ingestion-okf) library
> (git-pinned to `v0.3.1`), so connectors, materialization and index generation improve in ONE
> place across every consumer. `shared/ingest-spec.md` remains the normative spec — the library
> implements it, it does not replace it, and spec changes go via commons. The API below is
> unchanged; only the implementation moved. Note that Door A is **ungated**: it calls no
> security guard before writing to disk, so gating untrusted content is the caller's
> responsibility (see `docs/plan/2026-07-16-llm-ingestion-guard-inclusion.md`). The spec ships three source families — `file`/CSV (I2), `sql` (I4), and **`http`** (I6) —
and `http` is the framework's **worked extension-point example**: it shows exactly how a third,
network-transport family plugs into the same connector / materialization / gate contracts.
The `http` manifest contract (spec §4):
- `source.base_url` — the endpoint root; it **must not embed credentials** (userinfo is rejected
at schema validation).
- `source.credential_ref` — the **name of an environment variable** holding the secret, resolved
at run time (sent as `Authorization: Bearer <secret>`); the secret is never read from the
manifest, never logged, never stamped in the generated frontmatter. `null` → no auth.
- each extraction's `query` is joined onto `base_url` and its response body is rendered
**verbatim inside a fenced code block** (not a markdown table — a raw `|` or `\` survives
un-escaped); `max_rows` caps the response line count, fail-fast (never silent truncation).
**Network is a per-run grant, never a manifest field (spec §8).** `materialize` refuses an `http`
source unless the caller passes `allow_network=True`:
```python
# refused fail-fast — the manifest cannot grant itself network access:
materialize(manifest, bundle_dir, ingested_at="2026-07-04T12:00:00Z")
# opted in explicitly by the operator for this run:
materialize(manifest, bundle_dir, ingested_at="2026-07-04T12:00:00Z", allow_network=True)
```
This is the **local-only default, no silent egress** principle made mechanical: configuration is
data that cannot escalate its own authority; only the runtime `allow_network` grant can. The
transport itself is an **injectable seam**`materialize(..., http_get=<callable>)` swaps the GET
implementation (the default `_urllib_get` is the only socket path). The golden case
(`examples/ingest-golden-http/`) and every test inject a canned `get` over committed fixture
payloads, so the suite runs offline against a **local mock** — no live source, no credentials.
### D7 sibling hook — MCP as an extension of this family
The spec (§4) documents an **MCP-based connector as an extension of the `http` family**, not a new
client wired into the optimiser run path — that stays a **Non-Goal** here: the in-process
`FunctionTool` seam is the default in the run path, and MCP is demonstrated (via `build_mcp_server`
in `datasource.py`), not wired in.
**Where the D7 sibling stands (målbilde §11 boundary).** The Claude Agent SDK sibling (D7) built
the **file/CSV and SQL** connectors — mirroring I3/I5 — with bit-identical golden extractions.
**HTTP and MCP are demonstrated on the MAF side only** (MAF-only), against a local mock; the
sibling ships no network connector and no live-source integration. On D7 the in-process server
hook is `create_sdk_mcp_server(name, version="1.0.0", tools=...) -> McpSdkServerConfig` (package
`claude-agent-sdk`) — verified 2026-07-04 against the official Claude Agent SDK Python docs — but
that is a **documented hook a deployer would reach for, not a shipped D7 connector**; no D7 HTTP
or MCP session is planned. A deployer who wants a network- or MCP-mediated source extends this
family behind the same explicit, per-run network grant; nothing here contacts a live endpoint.
## Bytt ut henteren (Embedder / Retriever, S3.1)
How prior verdicts are ranked is a seam, not a hard-coded sort. `semretrieval.py` declares two
protocols and the store delegates to them:
- **`Retriever`** — `rank(query, candidates, k) -> list[Verdict]`. `VerdictStore.retriever`
defaults to `None`, which means `StructuralRetriever`: the same weighted structural score and
`(-similarity, id)` ordering the store used before the seam existed. Assign your own object
with a `rank` method to replace ranking wholesale.
- **`Embedder`** — `__call__(features) -> np.ndarray`. `HybridRanker(embedder, similarity, weight)`
blends `weight * cosine + (1 - weight) * structural`; both terms live in `[0, 1]`, so `weight`
means what it reads as (`SEMANTIC_WEIGHT_DEFAULT = 0.5`).
```python
store.retriever = HybridRanker(MyEmbedder(), similarity, weight=0.3)
```
Note that `similarity` is **injected**, not imported by `semretrieval`. That is deliberate:
`verdicts.py` imports `agent_framework`, and injecting the score keeps the retrieval layer free
of it (guarded by `tests/test_semretrieval_loadbearing.py`, which ranks in a subprocess and then
asserts `verdicts` never entered `sys.modules`). Keep that property if you extend the module.
**A real embeddings client is a code-level extension point — it is not built here.** Selection goes
through a CLOSED registry: `--embedder-config` names a type, `build_embedder` dispatches on it, and
an unknown type is refused rather than resolved. A dotted `module:Class` import path is
deliberately *not* supported — that would be arbitrary code execution at config-load time and would
hand a config file the ability to import something that opens a socket, routing around the
no-network guard (which is scoped to `semretrieval.py` and blind to a third module by
construction). Adding a real embedder therefore means adding a registry branch in code, plus any
capability opt-in as a factory kwarg — the same discipline `NotifierConfig` applies to egress. The
shipped
`FakeEmbedder` is a deterministic sha256 projection with no semantics; it exists so the seam is
exercisable offline at zero cost, and the load-bearing proof is that removing the cosine term
flips the ranking, not that the projection is meaningful. A deployer supplying a real client owns
its network egress, cost, and the fact that it embeds proposal **text** — which is why the hybrid
is opt-in (`--semantic-retrieval`) rather than the default. If you wire one in, note that
`semretrieval` currently imports no network module at all, and a guard test asserts exactly that;
a real client belongs behind the `Embedder` protocol in *your* module, not inside this one.
**Optional persistence — an unwired authoring primitive.** `save_vector_store(dir, verdicts,
embedder)` / `load_vector_store(dir)` write and read a byte-deterministic `vectors.npy` +
`vectors.jsonl` pair (sorted by verdict id, atomic replace). A missing store loads as `None`; a
row/line mismatch raises rather than silently mis-ranking. `*.npy` is gitignored.
They have **no caller in `src/`**, and ranking never reads a persisted matrix: `HybridRanker.rank`
re-invokes the embedder for every candidate on every call, so a persisted store would be bypassed
even if one existed. They are offered to extenders, on the same footing as `write_verdict`,
`promote_verdict` and `build_mcp_server` — public primitives the core deliberately does not wire
into `run_project`. Wiring the cache in only becomes worth anything once the ranker is changed to
consult it, which is a redesign rather than a hookup.
*Known limitation:* the empty-store branch hardcodes `EMBED_DIM`, so a third-party `Embedder` of a
different dimension writes a shape-inconsistent empty store. Stated, not fixed.
## Bevisst ikke bygget (90 %-kuttlista)
Per the design philosophy (a ~90 % generic core with clear extension points — we do not chase
the last 10 %), the following are **deliberate cuts**, not roadmap debt. Each is extension
territory for a deployer, with the seam named:
- **B10 — full verdict-conflict taxonomy.** Chosen minimal semantics (documented in
`verdicts.py` + README): the in-memory store is first-write-wins per verdict id; the disk
layers (`write_verdict`, `promote_verdict`) are last-write-wins per file. The full taxonomy
(rejection categories + a rule for conflicting expert verdicts) is deferred until real experts
produce conflicting verdicts.
- **B11 — expert notification.** `run_project(notify=...)` remains a plain-callable seam
(`run.py` auto-wires no default notifier), but the core now ships the declared `Notifier`
contract (`notify.py`, exported from the package top) with three implementations:
`ConsoleNotifier`, `FileNotifier` (byte-deterministic JSONL), and `WebhookNotifier` — plus a
fail-fast `build_notifier(config, *, allow_egress=...)` factory. The webhook is the ONLY egress
point and is fail-closed behind an explicit per-run `allow_egress=True` opt-in (a code kwarg,
never a config field — mirroring the ingest layer's `allow_network`). SSRF guards, HMAC
signing, and auth headers remain deployer-owned extension points on the injectable
`WebhookPost` transport seam. Webhook URLs must start with `http://` or `https://` — a
scheme-less URL is rejected fail-fast at config construction.
- **U12 — checkpointing / crash-survival of a run.** A run either completes or is re-run; the
async verdict inbox (step 7) is the resumable boundary, not intra-run state.
- **U14 — OpenTelemetry / observability.** Provenance stamping is the audit trail the core
ships; OTEL wiring is a deployer concern.
- **Concurrent fan-out.** `run_portfolio` iterates projects sequentially by design (fresh
per-project execution state; one threaded `VerdictStore`); parallel orchestration is left to
the deployer and would need budget-cap coordination.
