# Orchestrator Service

## Overview

The **Orchestrator Service** automates daily operational workflows by coordinating tasks across multiple microservices. It schedules and executes recurring jobs like daily forecasting, production planning, procurement needs calculation, and report generation. Operating on a configurable schedule (default: daily at 8:00 AM Madrid time), it ensures that bakery owners start each day with fresh forecasts, optimized production plans, and actionable insights - all without manual intervention.

## Key Features

### Workflow Automation
- **Daily Forecasting** - Generate 7-day demand forecasts every morning
- **Production Planning** - Calculate production schedules from forecasts
- **Procurement Planning** - Identify purchasing needs automatically
- **Inventory Projections** - Project stock levels for next 14 days
- **Report Generation** - Daily summaries, weekly digests
- **Model Retraining** - Weekly ML model updates
- **Alert Cleanup** - Archive resolved alerts

### Scheduling System
- **Cron-Based Scheduling** - Flexible schedule configuration
- **Timezone-Aware** - Respects tenant timezone (Madrid default)
- **Configurable Frequency** - Daily, weekly, monthly workflows
- **Time-Based Execution** - Run at optimal times (early morning)
- **Holiday Awareness** - Skip or adjust on public holidays
- **Weekend Handling** - Different schedules for weekends

### Workflow Execution
- **Sequential Workflows** - Execute steps in correct order
- **Parallel Execution** - Run independent tasks concurrently
- **Error Handling** - Retry failed tasks with exponential backoff
- **Timeout Management** - Cancel long-running tasks
- **Progress Tracking** - Monitor workflow execution status
- **Result Caching** - Cache workflow results in Redis

### Multi-Tenant Management
- **Per-Tenant Workflows** - Execute for all active tenants
- **Tenant Priority** - Prioritize by subscription tier
- **Tenant Filtering** - Skip suspended or cancelled tenants
- **Load Balancing** - Distribute tenant workflows evenly
- **Resource Limits** - Prevent resource exhaustion

### Monitoring & Observability
- **Workflow Metrics** - Execution time, success rate
- **Health Checks** - Service and job health monitoring
- **Failure Alerts** - Notify on workflow failures
- **Audit Logging** - Complete execution history
- **Performance Tracking** - Identify slow workflows
- **Cost Tracking** - Monitor computational costs

### Leader Election
- **Distributed Coordination** - Redis-based leader election
- **High Availability** - Multiple orchestrator instances
- **Automatic Failover** - New leader elected on failure
- **Split-Brain Prevention** - Ensure only one leader
- **Leader Health** - Continuous health monitoring

## Business Value

## 🆕 Forecast Validation Integration (NEW)

### Overview
The orchestrator now integrates with the Forecasting Service's validation system to automatically validate forecast accuracy and trigger model improvements.

### Daily Workflow Integration

The daily workflow now includes a **Step 5: Validate Previous Forecasts** after generating new forecasts:

```python
# Step 5: Validate previous day's forecasts
await log_step(execution_id, "validate_forecasts", tenant.id, "Validating forecasts")
validation_result = await forecast_client.validate_forecasts(
    tenant_id=tenant.id,
    orchestration_run_id=execution_id
)
await log_step(
    execution_id,
    "validate_forecasts",
    tenant.id,
    f"Validation complete: MAPE={validation_result.get('overall_mape', 'N/A')}%"
)
execution.steps_completed += 1
```

### What Gets Validated

Every morning at 8:00 AM, the orchestrator:

1. **Generates today's forecasts** (Steps 1-4)
2. **Validates yesterday's forecasts** (Step 5) by:
   - Fetching yesterday's forecast predictions
   - Fetching yesterday's actual sales from Sales Service
   - Calculating accuracy metrics (MAE, MAPE, RMSE, R², Accuracy %)
   - Storing validation results in `validation_runs` table
   - Identifying poor-performing products/locations

### Benefits

**For Bakery Owners:**
- **Daily Accuracy Tracking**: See how accurate yesterday's forecast was
- **Product-Level Insights**: Know which products have reliable forecasts
- **Continuous Improvement**: Models automatically retrain when accuracy drops
- **Trust & Confidence**: Validated accuracy metrics build trust in forecasts

**For Platform Operations:**
- **Automated Quality Control**: No manual validation needed
- **Early Problem Detection**: Performance degradation identified within 24 hours
- **Model Health Monitoring**: Track accuracy trends over time
- **Automatic Retraining**: Models improve automatically when needed

### Validation Metrics

Each validation run tracks:
- **Overall Metrics**: MAPE, MAE, RMSE, R², Accuracy %
- **Coverage**: % of forecasts with actual sales data
- **Product Performance**: Top/bottom performers by MAPE
- **Location Performance**: Accuracy by location/POS
- **Trend Analysis**: Week-over-week accuracy changes

### Historical Data Handling

When late sales data arrives (e.g., from CSV imports or delayed POS sync):
- **Webhook Integration**: Sales Service notifies Forecasting Service
- **Gap Detection**: System identifies dates with forecasts but no validation
- **Automatic Backfill**: Validates historical forecasts retroactively
- **Complete Coverage**: Ensures 100% of forecasts eventually get validated

### Performance Monitoring & Retraining

**Weekly Evaluation** (runs Sunday night):
```python
# Analyze 30-day performance
await retraining_service.evaluate_and_trigger_retraining(
    tenant_id=tenant.id,
    auto_trigger=True  # Automatically retrain poor performers
)
```

**Retraining Triggers:**
- MAPE > 30% (critical threshold)
- MAPE increased > 5% in 30 days
- Model age > 30 days
- Manual trigger via API

**Automatic Actions:**
- Identifies products with MAPE > 30%
- Triggers retraining via Training Service
- Tracks retraining job status
- Validates improved accuracy after retraining

## Delivery Tracking Service

### Overview

The Delivery Tracking Service provides **proactive monitoring** of expected deliveries with time-based alert generation. Unlike reactive event-driven alerts, this service periodically checks delivery windows against current time to generate predictive and overdue notifications.

**Key Capabilities**:
- Proactive "arriving soon" alerts (T-2 hours before delivery)
- Overdue delivery detection (30 min after window)
- Incomplete receipt reminders (2 hours after window)
- Integration with Procurement Service for PO delivery schedules
- Automatic alert resolution when deliveries are received

### Cronjob Configuration

```yaml
# infrastructure/kubernetes/base/cronjobs/delivery-tracking-cronjob.yaml
apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: CronJob
metadata:
  name: delivery-tracking-cronjob
spec:
  schedule: "30 * * * *"  # Hourly at minute 30
  concurrencyPolicy: Forbid
  successfulJobsHistoryLimit: 3
  failedJobsHistoryLimit: 3
  jobTemplate:
    spec:
      activeDeadlineSeconds: 1800  # 30 minutes timeout
      template:
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: delivery-tracking
            image: orchestrator-service:latest
            command: ["python3", "-m", "app.services.delivery_tracking_service"]
            resources:
              requests:
                memory: "128Mi"
                cpu: "50m"
              limits:
                memory: "256Mi"
                cpu: "100m"
```

**Schedule Rationale**: Hourly checks provide timely alerts without excessive polling. The :30 offset avoids collision with priority recalculation cronjob (:15).

### Delivery Alert Lifecycle

```
Purchase Order Approved (t=0)
  ↓
System publishes DELIVERY_SCHEDULED (informational event)
  ↓
[Time passes - no alerts]
  ↓
T-2 hours before expected delivery time
  ↓
CronJob detects: now >= (expected_delivery - 2 hours)
  ↓
Generate DELIVERY_ARRIVING_SOON alert
  - Priority: 70 (important)
  - Class: action_needed
  - Action Queue: Yes
  - Smart Action: Open StockReceiptModal in create mode
  ↓
[Delivery window arrives]
  ↓
Expected delivery time + 30 minutes (grace period)
  ↓
CronJob detects: now >= (delivery_window_end + 30 min)
  ↓
Generate DELIVERY_OVERDUE alert
  - Priority: 95 (critical)
  - Class: critical
  - Escalation: Time-sensitive
  - Smart Action: Contact supplier + Open receipt modal
  ↓
Expected delivery time + 2 hours
  ↓
CronJob detects: still no stock receipt
  ↓
Generate STOCK_RECEIPT_INCOMPLETE alert
  - Priority: 80 (important)
  - Class: action_needed
  - Smart Action: Open existing receipt in edit mode
```

**Auto-Resolution**: All delivery alerts are automatically resolved when:
- Stock receipt is confirmed (`onConfirm` in StockReceiptModal)
- Event `delivery.received` is published
- Alert Processor marks alerts as `resolved` with reason: "Delivery received"

### Service Methods

#### `check_expected_deliveries()` - Main Entry Point
```python
async def check_expected_deliveries(tenant_id: str) -> None:
    """
    Hourly job to check all purchase orders with expected deliveries.

    Queries Procurement Service for POs with:
    - status: approved or sent
    - expected_delivery_date: within next 48 hours or past due

    For each PO, checks:
    1. Arriving soon? (T-2h) → _send_arriving_soon_alert()
    2. Overdue? (T+30m) → _send_overdue_alert()
    3. Receipt incomplete? (T+2h) → _send_receipt_incomplete_alert()
    """
```

#### `_send_arriving_soon_alert(po: PurchaseOrder)` - Proactive Warning
```python
async def _send_arriving_soon_alert(po: PurchaseOrder) -> None:
    """
    Generates alert 2 hours before expected delivery.

    Alert Details:
    - event_type: DELIVERY_ARRIVING_SOON
    - priority_score: 70 (important)
    - alert_class: action_needed
    - domain: supply_chain
    - smart_action: open_stock_receipt_modal (create mode)

    Context Enrichment:
    - PO ID, supplier name, expected items count
    - Delivery window (start/end times)
    - Preparation checklist (clear receiving area, verify items)
    """
```

#### `_send_overdue_alert(po: PurchaseOrder)` - Critical Escalation
```python
async def _send_overdue_alert(po: PurchaseOrder) -> None:
    """
    Generates critical alert 30 minutes after delivery window.

    Alert Details:
    - event_type: DELIVERY_OVERDUE
    - priority_score: 95 (critical)
    - alert_class: critical
    - domain: supply_chain
    - smart_actions: [contact_supplier, open_receipt_modal]

    Business Impact:
    - Production delays if ingredients missing
    - Spoilage risk if perishables delayed
    - Customer order fulfillment risk

    Suggested Actions:
    1. Contact supplier immediately
    2. Check for delivery rescheduling
    3. Activate backup supplier if needed
    4. Adjust production plan if ingredients critical
    """
```

#### `_send_receipt_incomplete_alert(po: PurchaseOrder)` - Reminder
```python
async def _send_receipt_incomplete_alert(po: PurchaseOrder) -> None:
    """
    Generates reminder 2 hours after delivery window if no receipt.

    Alert Details:
    - event_type: STOCK_RECEIPT_INCOMPLETE
    - priority_score: 80 (important)
    - alert_class: action_needed
    - domain: inventory
    - smart_action: open_stock_receipt_modal (edit mode if draft exists)

    Checks:
    - Stock receipts table for PO ID
    - If draft exists → Edit mode with pre-filled data
    - If no draft → Create mode

    HACCP Compliance Note:
    - Food safety requires timely receipt documentation
    - Expiration date tracking depends on receipt
    - Incomplete receipts block lot tracking
    """
```

### Integration with Alert System

**Publishing Flow**:
```python
# services/orchestrator/app/services/delivery_tracking_service.py
from shared.clients.alerts_client import AlertsClient

alerts_client = AlertsClient(service_name="orchestrator")

await alerts_client.publish_alert(
    tenant_id=tenant_id,
    event_type="DELIVERY_OVERDUE",
    entity_type="purchase_order",
    entity_id=po.id,
    severity="critical",
    priority_score=95,
    context={
        "po_number": po.po_number,
        "supplier_name": po.supplier.name,
        "expected_delivery": po.expected_delivery_date.isoformat(),
        "delay_minutes": delay_in_minutes,
        "items_count": len(po.line_items)
    }
)
```

**Alert Processing**:
1. Delivery Tracking Service → RabbitMQ (supply_chain.alerts exchange)
2. Alert Processor consumes message
3. Full enrichment pipeline (Tier 1 - ALERTS)
4. Smart action handler assigned (open_stock_receipt_modal)
5. Store in PostgreSQL with priority_score
6. Publish to Redis Pub/Sub → Gateway SSE
7. Frontend `useSupplyChainNotifications()` hook receives alert
8. UnifiedActionQueueCard displays in "Urgent" section
9. User clicks → StockReceiptModal opens with PO context

### Architecture Decision: Why CronJob Over Event System?

**Question**: Could we replace this cronjob with scheduled events?

**Answer**: ❌ No - CronJob is the right tool for this job.

#### Comparison Matrix

| Feature | Event System | CronJob | Best Choice |
|---------|--------------|---------|-------------|
| Time-based alerts | ❌ Requires complex scheduling | ✅ Natural fit | **CronJob** |
| Predictive alerts | ❌ Must schedule at PO creation | ✅ Dynamic checks | **CronJob** |
| Delivery window changes | ❌ Need to reschedule events | ✅ Adapts automatically | **CronJob** |
| System restarts | ❌ Lose scheduled events | ✅ Persistent schedule | **CronJob** |
| Complexity | ❌ High (event scheduler needed) | ✅ Low (periodic check) | **CronJob** |
| Maintenance | ❌ Many scheduled events | ✅ Single job | **CronJob** |

**Event System Challenges**:
- Would need to schedule 3 events per PO at approval time:
  1. "arriving_soon" event at (delivery_time - 2h)
  2. "overdue" event at (delivery_time + 30m)
  3. "incomplete" event at (delivery_time + 2h)
- Requires persistent event scheduler (like Celery Beat)
- Rescheduling when delivery dates change is complex
- System restarts would lose in-memory scheduled events
- Essentially rebuilding cron functionality

**CronJob Advantages**:
- ✅ Simple periodic check against current time
- ✅ Adapts to delivery date changes automatically
- ✅ No state management for scheduled events
- ✅ Easy to adjust alert timing thresholds
- ✅ Built-in Kubernetes scheduling and monitoring
- ✅ Resource-efficient (runs 1 minute every hour)

**Verdict**: Periodic polling is more maintainable than scheduled events for time-based conditions.

### Monitoring & Observability

**Metrics Tracked**:
- `delivery_tracking_job_duration_seconds` - Execution time
- `delivery_alerts_generated_total{type}` - Counter by alert type
- `deliveries_checked_total` - Total POs scanned
- `delivery_tracking_errors_total` - Failure rate

**Logs**:
```
[2025-11-26 14:30:02] INFO: Delivery tracking job started for tenant abc123
[2025-11-26 14:30:03] INFO: Found 12 purchase orders with upcoming deliveries
[2025-11-26 14:30:03] INFO: Generated DELIVERY_ARRIVING_SOON for PO-2025-043 (delivery in 1h 45m)
[2025-11-26 14:30:03] WARNING: Generated DELIVERY_OVERDUE for PO-2025-041 (45 minutes late)
[2025-11-26 14:30:04] INFO: Delivery tracking job completed in 2.3s
```

**Alerting** (for Ops team):
- Job fails 3 times consecutively → Page on-call engineer
- Job duration > 5 minutes → Warning (performance degradation)
- Zero deliveries checked for 24 hours → Warning (data issue)

### Testing

**Unit Tests**:
```python
# tests/services/test_delivery_tracking_service.py
async def test_arriving_soon_alert_generated():
    # Given: PO with delivery in 1 hour 55 minutes
    po = create_test_po(expected_delivery=now() + timedelta(hours=1, minutes=55))

    # When: Check deliveries
    await delivery_tracking_service.check_expected_deliveries(tenant_id)

    # Then: DELIVERY_ARRIVING_SOON alert generated
    assert_alert_published("DELIVERY_ARRIVING_SOON", po.id)
```

**Integration Tests**:
- Test full flow from cronjob → alert → frontend SSE
- Verify alert auto-resolution on stock receipt confirmation
- Test grace period boundaries (exactly 30 minutes)

### Performance Characteristics

**Typical Execution**:
- Query Procurement Service: 50-100ms
- Filter POs by time windows: 5-10ms
- Generate alerts (avg 3 per run): 150-300ms
- Total: **200-400ms per tenant**

**Scaling**:
- Single-tenant deployment: Trivial (<1s per hour)
- Multi-tenant (100 tenants): ~40s per run (well under 30min timeout)
- Multi-tenant (1000+ tenants): Consider tenant sharding across multiple cronjobs
