1. Overview

1.1 Philosophy

The Bakery-IA alert system transforms passive notifications into context-aware, actionable guidance. Every alert includes enrichment context, priority scoring, and suggested actions, enabling users to make informed decisions quickly.

Core Principles:

Alerts are not just notifications - They're AI-enhanced action items
Context over noise - Every alert includes business impact and suggested actions
Smart prioritization - Multi-factor scoring ensures critical issues surface first
Progressive enhancement - Different event types get appropriate enrichment levels
User agency - System respects what users can actually control

1.2 Architecture Goals

✅ Performance: 80% faster notification processing, 70% less SSE traffic ✅ Type Safety: Complete TypeScript definitions matching backend ✅ Developer Experience: 18 specialized React hooks for different use cases ✅ Production Ready: Backward compatible, fully documented, deployment-ready

2. Event Flow & Lifecycle

2.1 Event Generation

Services detect issues via three patterns:

Scheduled Background Jobs

Inventory service: Stock checks every 5-15 minutes
Production service: Capacity checks every 10-45 minutes
Forecasting service: Demand analysis (Friday 3 PM weekly)

Event-Driven

RabbitMQ subscriptions to business events
Example: Order created → Check stock availability → Emit low stock alert

Database Triggers

Direct PostgreSQL notifications for critical state changes
Example: Stock quantity falls below threshold → Immediate alert

2.2 Alert Publishing Flow

Service detects issue
    ↓
Validates against RawAlert schema (title, message, type, severity, metadata)
    ↓
Generates deduplication key (type + entity IDs)
    ↓
Checks Redis (prevent duplicates within 15-minute window)
    ↓
Publishes to RabbitMQ (alerts.exchange with routing key)
    ↓
Alert Processor consumes message
    ↓
Conditional enrichment based on event type
    ↓
Stores in PostgreSQL
    ↓
Publishes to Redis (domain-based channels)
    ↓
Gateway streams via SSE
    ↓
Frontend hooks receive and display

2.3 Complete Event Flow Diagram

Domain Service → RabbitMQ → Alert Processor → PostgreSQL → Redis → Gateway → Frontend
                                    ↓                                    ↓
                            Conditional Enrichment              SSE Stream
                            - Alert: Full (500-800ms)          - Domain filtered
                            - Notification: Fast (20-30ms)     - Wildcard support
                            - Recommendation: Medium (50-80ms) - Real-time updates

3. Three-Tier Enrichment Strategy

3.1 Tier 1: ALERTS (Full Enrichment)

When: Critical business events requiring user decisions

Enrichment Pipeline (7 steps):

Orchestrator Context Query
Business Impact Analysis
Urgency Assessment
User Agency Evaluation
Multi-Factor Priority Scoring
Timing Intelligence
Smart Action Generation

Processing Time: 500-800ms Database: Full alert record with all enrichment fields TTL: Indefinite (until resolved)

Examples:

Low stock warning requiring PO approval
Production delay affecting customer orders
Equipment failure needing immediate attention

3.2 Tier 2: NOTIFICATIONS (Lightweight)

When: Informational state changes

Enrichment:

Format title/message
Set placement hint
Assign domain
No priority scoring
No orchestrator queries

Processing Time: 20-30ms (80% faster than alerts) Database: Minimal notification record TTL: 7 days (automatic cleanup)

Examples:

Stock received confirmation
Batch completed notification
PO sent to supplier

3.3 Tier 3: RECOMMENDATIONS (Moderate)

When: AI suggestions for optimization

Enrichment:

Light priority scoring (info level by default)
Confidence assessment
Estimated impact calculation
No orchestrator context
Dismissible by users

Processing Time: 50-80ms Database: Recommendation record with impact fields TTL: 30 days or until dismissed

Examples:

Demand surge prediction
Inventory optimization suggestion
Cost reduction opportunity

3.4 Performance Comparison

Event Class	Old	New	Improvement
Alert	200-300ms	500-800ms	Baseline (more enrichment)
Notification	200-300ms	20-30ms	80% faster
Recommendation	200-300ms	50-80ms	60% faster

Overall: 54% average improvement due to selective enrichment

4. Enrichment Process

4.1 Orchestrator Context Enrichment

Purpose: Determine if AI has already addressed the alert

Service: orchestrator_client.py

Query: Daily Orchestrator microservice for related actions

Questions Answered:

Has AI already created a purchase order for this low stock?
What's the PO ID and current status?
When will the delivery arrive?
What's the estimated cost savings?

Response Fields:

{
    "already_addressed": bool,
    "action_type": "purchase_order" | "production_batch" | "schedule_adjustment",
    "action_id": str,  # e.g., "PO-12345"
    "action_status": "pending_approval" | "approved" | "in_progress",
    "delivery_date": datetime,
    "estimated_savings_eur": Decimal
}

Caching: Results cached to avoid redundant queries

4.2 Business Impact Analysis

Service: context_enrichment.py

Dimensions Analyzed:

Financial Impact

financial_impact_eur: Decimal
# Calculation examples:
# - Low stock: lost_sales = out_of_stock_days × avg_daily_revenue_per_product
# - Production delay: penalty_fees + rush_order_costs
# - Equipment failure: repair_cost + lost_production_value

Customer Impact

affected_customers: List[str]  # Customer names
affected_orders: int  # Count of at-risk orders
customer_satisfaction_impact: "low" | "medium" | "high"
# Based on order priority, customer tier, delay duration

Operational Impact

production_batches_at_risk: List[str]  # Batch IDs
waste_risk_kg: Decimal  # Spoilage or overproduction
equipment_downtime_hours: Decimal

4.3 Urgency Context

Fields:

deadline: datetime  # When consequences occur
time_until_consequence_hours: Decimal  # Countdown
can_wait_until_tomorrow: bool  # For overnight batch processing
auto_action_countdown_seconds: int  # For escalation alerts

Urgency Scoring:

>48h until consequence: Low urgency (20 points)
24-48h: Medium urgency (50 points)
6-24h: High urgency (80 points)
<6h: Critical urgency (100 points)

4.4 User Agency Assessment

Purpose: Determine what user can actually do

Fields:

can_user_fix: bool  # Can user resolve this directly?
requires_external_party: bool  # Need supplier/customer action?
external_party_name: str  # "Supplier Inc."
external_party_contact: str  # "+34-123-456-789"
blockers: List[str]  # What prevents immediate action

User Agency Scoring:

Can fix directly: 80 points
Requires external party: 50 points
Has blockers: -30 penalty
No control: 20 points

4.5 Trend Context (for trend_warning alerts)

Fields:

metric_name: str  # "weekend_demand"
current_value: Decimal  # 450
baseline_value: Decimal  # 300
change_percentage: Decimal  # 50
direction: "increasing" | "decreasing" | "volatile"
significance: "low" | "medium" | "high"
period_days: int  # 7
possible_causes: List[str]  # ["Holiday weekend", "Promotion"]

4.6 Timing Intelligence

Service: timing_intelligence.py

Delivery Method Decisions:

def decide_timing(alert):
    if priority >= 90:  # Critical
        return "SEND_NOW"  # Immediate push notification

    if is_business_hours() and priority >= 70:
        return "SEND_NOW"  # Important during work hours

    if is_night_hours() and priority < 90:
        return "SCHEDULE_LATER"  # Queue for 8 AM

    if priority < 50:
        return "BATCH_FOR_DIGEST"  # Daily summary email

Considerations:

Priority level
Business hours (8 AM - 8 PM)
User preferences (digest settings)
Alert type (action_needed vs informational)

4.7 Smart Actions Generation

Service: context_enrichment.py

Action Structure:

{
    label: string,  // "Approve Purchase Order"
    type: SmartActionType,  // approve_po
    variant: "primary" | "secondary" | "tertiary",
    metadata: object,  // Context for action handler
    disabled: boolean,  // Based on user permissions/state
    estimated_time_minutes: number,  // How long action takes
    consequence: string  // "Order will be placed immediately"
}

Action Examples by Alert Type:

Low Stock Alert:

[
    {
        label: "Approve Purchase Order",
        type: "approve_po",
        variant: "primary",
        metadata: { po_id: "PO-12345", amount: 1500.00 }
    },
    {
        label: "Contact Supplier",
        type: "call_supplier",
        variant: "secondary",
        metadata: { supplier_contact: "+34-123-456-789" }
    }
]

Production Delay Alert:

[
    {
        label: "Adjust Schedule",
        type: "reschedule_production",
        variant: "primary",
        metadata: { batch_id: "BATCH-001", delay_minutes: 30 }
    },
    {
        label: "Notify Customer",
        type: "send_notification",
        variant: "secondary",
        metadata: { customer_id: "CUST-456" }
    }
]

5. Priority Scoring Algorithm

1 affected customer: 30 points
2-5 customers: 50 points
5+ customers: 100 points

Operational Impact:

1 order at risk: 30 points
2-10 orders: 60 points
10+ orders: 100 points

Weighted Average:

business_impact_score = (
    financial_score * 0.5 +
    customer_score * 0.3 +
    operational_score * 0.2
)

5.5 Confidence Score (10% weight)

Data Quality Assessment:

High confidence (complete data): 100 points
Medium confidence (some assumptions): 70 points
Low confidence (many unknowns): 40 points

5.6 Priority Levels

Mapping:

CRITICAL (90-100): Immediate action required, high business impact
IMPORTANT (70-89): Action needed today, moderate impact
STANDARD (50-69): Action recommended this week
INFO (0-49): Informational, no urgency

6. Alert Types & Classification

6.1 Alert Type Classes

ACTION_NEEDED (~70% of alerts):

User decision required
Appears in action queue
Has deadline
Examples: Low stock, pending PO approval, equipment failure

PREVENTED_ISSUE (~10% of alerts):

AI already handled the problem
Positive framing: "I prevented X by doing Y"
User awareness only, no action needed
Examples: "Stock shortage prevented by auto-PO"

TREND_WARNING (~15% of alerts):

Proactive insight about emerging patterns
Gives user time to prepare
May become action_needed if ignored
Examples: "Demand trending up 35% this week"

ESCALATION (~3% of alerts):

Time-sensitive with auto-action countdown
System will act automatically if user doesn't
Countdown timer shown prominently
Examples: "Critical stock, auto-ordering in 2 hours"

INFORMATION (~2% of alerts):

FYI only, no action expected
Low priority
Often batched for digest emails
Examples: "Production batch completed"

7. Smart Actions & User Agency

7.1 Action Types

Complete Enumeration:

class SmartActionType(str, Enum):
    # Procurement
    APPROVE_PO = "approve_po"
    REJECT_PO = "reject_po"
    MODIFY_PO = "modify_po"
    CALL_SUPPLIER = "call_supplier"

    # Production
    START_PRODUCTION_BATCH = "start_production_batch"
    RESCHEDULE_PRODUCTION = "reschedule_production"
    HALT_PRODUCTION = "halt_production"

    # Inventory
    MARK_DELIVERY_RECEIVED = "mark_delivery_received"
    COMPLETE_STOCK_RECEIPT = "complete_stock_receipt"
    ADJUST_STOCK_MANUALLY = "adjust_stock_manually"

    # Customer Service
    NOTIFY_CUSTOMER = "notify_customer"
    CANCEL_ORDER = "cancel_order"
    ADJUST_DELIVERY_DATE = "adjust_delivery_date"

    # System
    SNOOZE_ALERT = "snooze_alert"
    DISMISS_ALERT = "dismiss_alert"
    ESCALATE_TO_MANAGER = "escalate_to_manager"

7.2 Action Lifecycle

1. Generation (enrichment stage):

Service context: What's possible in this situation?
User agency: Can user execute this action?
Permissions: Does user have required role?
Conditional rendering: Disable if prerequisites not met

2. Display (frontend):

Primary action highlighted (most recommended)
Secondary actions offered (alternatives)
Disabled actions shown with reason tooltip
Consequence preview on hover

3. Execution (API call):

Handler routes by action type
Executes business logic (PO approval, schedule change, etc.)
Creates audit trail
Emits follow-up events/notifications
May create new alerts

4. Escalation (if unacted):

24h: Alert priority boosted
48h: Type changed to escalation
72h: Priority boosted further, countdown timer shown
System may auto-execute if configured

7.3 Consequence Preview

Purpose: Build trust by showing impact before action

Example:

{
    action: "approve_po",
    consequence: {
        immediate: "Order will be sent to supplier within 5 minutes",
        timing: "Delivery expected in 2-3 business days",
        cost: "€1,250.00 will be added to monthly expenses",
        impact: "Resolves low stock for 3 ingredients affecting 8 orders"
    }
}

Display:

Shown on hover or in confirmation modal
Highlights positive outcomes (orders fulfilled)
Notes financial impact (€ amount)
Clarifies timing (when effect occurs)

8. Alert Lifecycle & State Transitions

8.1 Alert States

Created → Active
    ↓
    ├─→ Acknowledged (user saw it)
    ├─→ In Progress (user taking action)
    ├─→ Resolved (action completed)
    ├─→ Dismissed (user chose to ignore)
    └─→ Snoozed (remind me later)

8.2 State Transitions

Created → Active:

Automatic on creation
Appears in relevant UI sections based on placement hints

Active → Acknowledged:

User clicks alert or views action queue
Tracked for analytics (response time)

Acknowledged → In Progress:

User starts working on resolution
May set estimated completion time

In Progress → Resolved:

Smart action executed successfully
Or user manually marks as resolved
resolved_at timestamp set

Active → Dismissed:

User chooses not to act
May require dismissal reason (for audit)

Active → Snoozed:

User requests reminder later (e.g., in 1 hour, tomorrow morning)
Returns to Active at scheduled time

8.3 Key Fields

Lifecycle Tracking:

status: AlertStatus  # Current state
created_at: datetime  # When alert was created
acknowledged_at: datetime  # When user first viewed
resolved_at: datetime  # When action completed
action_created_at: datetime  # For escalation age calculation

Interaction Tracking:

interactions: List[AlertInteraction]  # All user interactions
last_interaction_at: datetime  # Most recent interaction
response_time_seconds: int  # Time to first action
resolution_time_seconds: int  # Time to resolution

8.4 Alert Interactions

Tracked Events:

view: User viewed alert
acknowledge: User acknowledged alert
action_taken: User executed smart action
snooze: User snoozed alert
dismiss: User dismissed alert
resolve: User resolved alert

Interaction Record:

class AlertInteraction(Base):
    id: UUID
    tenant_id: UUID
    alert_id: UUID
    user_id: UUID
    interaction_type: InteractionType
    action_type: Optional[SmartActionType]
    metadata: dict  # Context of interaction
    created_at: datetime

Analytics Usage:

Measure alert effectiveness (% resolved)
Track response times (how quickly users act)
Identify ignored alerts (high dismiss rate)
Optimize smart action suggestions

9. Escalation System

9.1 Time-Based Escalation

Purpose: Prevent action fatigue and ensure critical alerts don't age

Escalation Rules:

# Applied hourly to action_needed alerts

if alert.status == "active" and alert.type_class == "action_needed":
    age_hours = (now - alert.action_created_at).hours

    escalation_boost = 0

    # Age-based escalation
    if age_hours > 72:
        escalation_boost = 20
    elif age_hours > 48:
        escalation_boost = 10

    # Deadline-based escalation
    if alert.deadline:
        hours_to_deadline = (alert.deadline - now).hours
        if hours_to_deadline < 6:
            escalation_boost = max(escalation_boost, 30)
        elif hours_to_deadline < 24:
            escalation_boost = max(escalation_boost, 15)

    # Skip if already critical
    if alert.priority_score >= 90:
        escalation_boost = 0

    # Apply boost (capped at +30)
    alert.priority_score += min(escalation_boost, 30)
    alert.priority_level = calculate_level(alert.priority_score)

9.2 Escalation Cronjob

Schedule: Every hour at :15 (:15 * * * *)

Configuration:

alert-priority-recalculation-cronjob:
  schedule: "15 * * * *"
  resources:
    memory: 256Mi
    cpu: 100m
  timeout: 30 minutes
  concurrency: Forbid
  batch_size: 50

Processing Logic:

Query all action_needed alerts with status=active
Batch process (50 alerts at a time)
Calculate escalation boost for each
Update priority_score and priority_level
Add escalation_metadata (boost amount, reason)
Invalidate Redis cache (tenant:{id}:alerts:*)
Log escalation events for analytics

9.3 Escalation Metadata

Stored in enrichment_context:

{
    "escalation": {
        "applied_at": "2025-11-25T15:00:00Z",
        "boost_amount": 20,
        "reason": "pending_72h",
        "previous_score": 65,
        "new_score": 85,
        "previous_level": "standard",
        "new_level": "important"
    }
}

9.4 Escalation to Auto-Action

When:

Alert >72h old
Priority ≥90 (critical)
Has auto-action configured

Process:

if age_hours > 72 and priority_score >= 90:
    alert.type_class = "escalation"
    alert.auto_action_countdown_seconds = 7200  # 2 hours
    alert.auto_action_type = determine_auto_action(alert)
    alert.auto_action_metadata = {...}

Frontend Display:

Shows countdown timer: "Auto-approving PO in 1h 23m"
Primary action becomes "Cancel Auto-Action"
User can cancel or let system proceed

10. Alert Chaining & Deduplication

10.1 Deduplication Strategy

Purpose: Prevent alert spam when same issue detected multiple times

Deduplication Key:

def generate_dedup_key(tenant_id, alert_type, entity_ids):
    key_parts = [alert_type]

    # Add entity identifiers
    if product_id:
        key_parts.append(f"product:{product_id}")
    if supplier_id:
        key_parts.append(f"supplier:{supplier_id}")
    if batch_id:
        key_parts.append(f"batch:{batch_id}")

    key = ":".join(key_parts)
    return f"{tenant_id}:alert:{key}"

Redis Check:

dedup_key = generate_dedup_key(...)
if redis.exists(dedup_key):
    return  # Skip, alert already exists
else:
    redis.setex(dedup_key, 900, "1")  # 15-minute window
    create_alert(...)

10.2 Alert Chaining

Purpose: Link related alerts to tell coherent story

Database Fields (added in migration 20251123):

action_created_at: datetime  # Original creation time (for age)
superseded_by_action_id: UUID  # Links to solving action
hidden_from_ui: bool  # Hide superseded alerts

10.3 Chaining Methods

1. Mark as Superseded:

def mark_alert_as_superseded(alert_id, solving_action_id):
    alert = db.query(Alert).filter(Alert.id == alert_id).first()
    alert.superseded_by_action_id = solving_action_id
    alert.hidden_from_ui = True
    alert.updated_at = now()
    db.commit()

    # Invalidate cache
    redis.delete(f"tenant:{alert.tenant_id}:alerts:*")

2. Create Combined Alert:

def create_combined_alert(original_alert, solving_action):
    # Create new prevented_issue alert
    combined_alert = Alert(
        tenant_id=original_alert.tenant_id,
        alert_type="prevented_issue",
        type_class="prevented_issue",
        title=f"Stock shortage prevented",
        message=f"I detected low stock for {product_name} and created "
                f"PO-{po_number} automatically. Order will arrive in 2 days.",
        priority_level="info",
        metadata={
            "original_alert_id": str(original_alert.id),
            "solving_action_id": str(solving_action.id),
            "problem": original_alert.message,
            "solution": solving_action.description
        }
    )
    db.add(combined_alert)
    db.commit()

    # Mark original as superseded
    mark_alert_as_superseded(original_alert.id, combined_alert.id)

3. Find Related Alerts:

def find_related_alert(tenant_id, alert_type, product_id):
    return db.query(Alert).filter(
        Alert.tenant_id == tenant_id,
        Alert.alert_type == alert_type,
        Alert.metadata['product_id'].astext == product_id,
        Alert.created_at > now() - timedelta(hours=24),
        Alert.hidden_from_ui == False
    ).first()

4. Filter Hidden Alerts:

def get_active_alerts(tenant_id):
    return db.query(Alert).filter(
        Alert.tenant_id == tenant_id,
        Alert.status.in_(["active", "acknowledged"]),
        Alert.hidden_from_ui == False  # Exclude superseded alerts
    ).all()

10.4 Chaining Example Flow

Step 1: Low stock detected
    → Create LOW_STOCK alert (action_needed, priority: 75)
    → User sees "Low stock for flour, action needed"

Step 2: Daily Orchestrator runs
    → Finds LOW_STOCK alert
    → Creates purchase order automatically
    → PO-12345 created with delivery date

Step 3: Orchestrator chains alerts
    → Calls mark_alert_as_superseded(low_stock_alert.id, po.id)
    → Creates PREVENTED_ISSUE alert
    → Message: "I prevented flour shortage by creating PO-12345.
                Delivery arrives Nov 28. Approve or modify if needed."

Step 4: User sees only prevented_issue alert
    → Original low stock alert hidden from UI
    → User understands: problem detected → AI acted → needs approval
    → Single coherent narrative, not 3 separate alerts

11. Cronjob Integration

11.1 Why CronJobs Are Needed

Event System Cannot:

Emit events "2 hours before delivery"
Detect "alert is now 48 hours old"
Poll external state (procurement PO status)

CronJobs Excel At:

Time-based conditions
Periodic checks
Predictive alerts
Batch recalculations

11.2 Delivery Tracking CronJob

Schedule: Every hour at :30 (:30 * * * *)

Configuration:

delivery-tracking-cronjob:
  schedule: "30 * * * *"
  resources:
    memory: 256Mi
    cpu: 100m
  timeout: 30 minutes
  concurrency: Forbid

Service: DeliveryTrackingService in Orchestrator

Processing Flow:

def check_expected_deliveries():
    # Query procurement service for expected deliveries
    deliveries = procurement_api.get_expected_deliveries(
        from_date=now(),
        to_date=now() + timedelta(days=3)
    )

    for delivery in deliveries:
        current_time = now()
        expected_time = delivery.expected_delivery_datetime
        window_start = delivery.delivery_window_start
        window_end = delivery.delivery_window_end

        # T-2h: Arriving soon alert
        if current_time >= (window_start - timedelta(hours=2)) and \
           current_time < window_start:
            send_arriving_soon_alert(delivery)

        # T+30min: Overdue alert
        elif current_time > (window_end + timedelta(minutes=30)) and \
             not delivery.marked_received:
            send_overdue_alert(delivery)

        # Window passed, not received: Incomplete alert
        elif current_time > (window_end + timedelta(hours=2)) and \
             not delivery.marked_received and \
             not delivery.stock_receipt_id:
            send_receipt_incomplete_alert(delivery)

Alert Types Generated:

DELIVERY_ARRIVING_SOON (T-2h):

{
    "alert_type": "delivery_arriving_soon",
    "type_class": "action_needed",
    "priority_level": "important",
    "placement": "action_queue",
    "smart_actions": [
        {
            "type": "mark_delivery_received",
            "label": "Mark as Received",
            "variant": "primary"
        }
    ]
}

DELIVERY_OVERDUE (T+30min):

{
    "alert_type": "delivery_overdue",
    "type_class": "action_needed",
    "priority_level": "critical",
    "priority_score": 95,
    "smart_actions": [
        {
            "type": "call_supplier",
            "label": "Call Supplier",
            "metadata": {
                "supplier_contact": "+34-123-456-789"
            }
        }
    ]
}

STOCK_RECEIPT_INCOMPLETE (Post-window):

{
    "alert_type": "stock_receipt_incomplete",
    "type_class": "action_needed",
    "priority_level": "important",
    "priority_score": 80,
    "smart_actions": [
        {
            "type": "complete_stock_receipt",
            "label": "Complete Stock Receipt",
            "metadata": {
                "po_id": "...",
                "draft_receipt_id": "..."
            }
        }
    ]
}

11.3 Delivery Alert Lifecycle

PO Approved
    ↓
DELIVERY_SCHEDULED (informational, notification_panel)
    ↓ T-2 hours
DELIVERY_ARRIVING_SOON (action_needed, action_queue)
    ↓ Expected time + 30 min
DELIVERY_OVERDUE (critical, action_queue + toast)
    ↓ Window passed + 2 hours
STOCK_RECEIPT_INCOMPLETE (important, action_queue)

11.4 Priority Recalculation CronJob

See Section 9.2 for details.

11.5 Decision Matrix: Events vs CronJobs

Feature	Event System	CronJob	Best Choice
State change notification	✅ Excellent	❌ Poor	Event System
Time-based alerts	❌ Complex	✅ Simple	CronJob ✅
Real-time updates	✅ Instant	❌ Delayed	Event System
Predictive alerts	❌ Hard	✅ Easy	CronJob ✅
Priority escalation	❌ Complex	✅ Natural	CronJob ✅
Deadline tracking	❌ Complex	✅ Simple	CronJob ✅
Batch processing	❌ Not designed	✅ Ideal	CronJob ✅

12. Service Integration Patterns

12.1 Base Alert Service

All services extend: BaseAlertService from shared/alerts/base_service.py

Core Method:

async def publish_item(
    self,
    tenant_id: UUID,
    item_data: dict,
    item_type: ItemType = ItemType.ALERT
):
    # Validate schema
    validated_item = validate_item(item_data, item_type)

    # Generate deduplication key
    dedup_key = self.generate_dedup_key(tenant_id, validated_item)

    # Check Redis for duplicates (15-minute window)
    if await self.redis.exists(dedup_key):
        logger.info(f"Skipping duplicate {item_type}: {dedup_key}")
        return

    # Publish to RabbitMQ
    await self.rabbitmq.publish(
        exchange="alerts.exchange",
        routing_key=f"{item_type}.{validated_item['severity']}",
        message={
            "tenant_id": str(tenant_id),
            "item_type": item_type,
            "data": validated_item
        }
    )

    # Set deduplication key
    await self.redis.setex(dedup_key, 900, "1")  # 15 minutes

12.2 Inventory Service

Service Class: InventoryAlertService

                    "current_stock": item.current_stock,
                    "minimum_stock": item.minimum_stock,
                    "unit": item.unit
                }
            },
            item_type=ItemType.ALERT
        )

# Check expiring products every 2 hours

    service = InventoryAlertService()
    order = event.data

    # Check if order depletes stock below threshold
    for item in order.items:
        stock_after_order = calculate_remaining_stock(item)

        if stock_after_order < item.minimum_stock:
            await service.publish_item(
                tenant_id=order.tenant_id,

@scheduler.scheduled_job('cron', day_of_week='fri', hour=15)
async def check_weekend_demand_surge():
    forecast = await get_weekend_forecast()

    if forecast.predicted_demand > (forecast.baseline * 1.3):
        await service.publish_item(

        const eventSource = new EventSource(
            `/api/events/sse?channels=${channels.join(',')}`
        );

        eventSource.onopen = () => setIsConnected(true);

        eventSource.onmessage = (event) => {
            const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
            setEvents(prev => [data, ...prev]);
        };

        eventSource.onerror = () => setIsConnected(false);

        return () => eventSource.close();
    }, [channels]);

    tenant_id: string;
    alert_type: string;
    type_class: AlertTypeClass;
    service: string;
    title: string;

}

13.4 Component Integration Examples

Action Queue Card:

function UnifiedActionQueueCard() {
    const { alerts } = useAlerts({
        typeClass: ['action_needed', 'escalation'],
        includeResolved: false
    });

    const groupedAlerts = useMemo(() => {
        return groupByTimeCategory(alerts);
        // Returns: { urgent: [...], today: [...], thisWeek: [...] }
    }, [alerts]);

    return (
        <Card>
            <h2>Actions Needed</h2>
            {groupedAlerts.urgent.length > 0 && (
                <UrgentSection alerts={groupedAlerts.urgent} />
            )}
            {groupedAlerts.today.length > 0 && (
                <TodaySection alerts={groupedAlerts.today} />
            )}
        </Card>
    );
}

Health Hero Component:

function GlanceableHealthHero() {
    const { criticalAlerts } = useCriticalAlerts();
    const { notifications } = useEventNotifications();

    const healthStatus = useMemo(() => {
        if (criticalAlerts.length > 0) return 'red';
        if (hasUrgentNotifications(notifications)) return 'yellow';
        return 'green';
    }, [criticalAlerts, notifications]);

    return (
        <Card>
            <StatusIndicator color={healthStatus} />
            {healthStatus === 'red' && (
                <UrgentBadge count={criticalAlerts.length} />
            )}
        </Card>
    );
}

Event-Driven Refetch:

function InventoryStats() {
    const { data, refetch } = useInventoryStats();
    const { notifications } = useInventoryNotifications();

    useEffect(() => {
        const relevantEvent = notifications.find(
            n => n.event_type === 'stock_received'
        );

        if (relevantEvent) {
            refetch();  // Update stats on stock change
        }
    }, [notifications, refetch]);

    return <StatsCard data={data} />;
}

14. Redis Pub/Sub Architecture

14.1 Channel Naming Convention

Pattern: tenant:{tenant_id}:{domain}.{event_type}

Examples:

tenant:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000:inventory.alerts
tenant:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000:inventory.notifications
tenant:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000:production.alerts
tenant:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000:production.notifications
tenant:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000:supply_chain.alerts
tenant:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000:supply_chain.notifications
tenant:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000:operations.notifications
tenant:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000:recommendations

14.2 Domain-Based Routing

Alert Processor publishes to Redis:

def publish_to_redis(alert):
    domain = alert.domain  # inventory, production, etc.
    channel = f"tenant:{alert.tenant_id}:{domain}.alerts"

    redis.publish(channel, json.dumps({
        "id": str(alert.id),
        "alert_type": alert.alert_type,
        "type_class": alert.type_class,
        "priority_level": alert.priority_level,
        "title": alert.title,
        "message": alert.message,
        # ... full alert data
    }))

14.3 Gateway SSE Endpoint

Multi-Channel Subscription:

@app.get("/api/events/sse")
async def sse_endpoint(
    channels: str,  # Comma-separated: "inventory.alerts,production.alerts"
    tenant_id: UUID = Depends(get_current_tenant)
):
    async def event_stream():
        pubsub = redis.pubsub()

        # Subscribe to requested channels
        for channel in channels.split(','):
            full_channel = f"tenant:{tenant_id}:{channel}"
            await pubsub.subscribe(full_channel)

        # Stream events
        async for message in pubsub.listen():
            if message['type'] == 'message':
                yield f"data: {message['data']}\n\n"

    return StreamingResponse(
        event_stream(),
        media_type="text/event-stream"
    )

Wildcard Support:

// Frontend can subscribe to:
"*.alerts"  // All alert channels
"inventory.*"  // All inventory events
"*.notifications"  // All notification channels

14.4 Traffic Reduction

Before (legacy):

All pages subscribe to single tenant:{id}:events channel
100% of events sent to all pages
High bandwidth, slow filtering

After (domain-based):

Dashboard: Subscribes to *.alerts, *.notifications, recommendations
Inventory page: Subscribes to inventory.alerts, inventory.notifications
Production page: Subscribes to production.alerts, production.notifications

Traffic Reduction by Page:

Page	Old Traffic	New Traffic	Reduction
Dashboard	100%	100%	0% (needs all)
Inventory	100%	15%	85%
Production	100%	20%	80%
Supply Chain	100%	18%	82%

Average: 70% reduction on specialized pages

16. Performance & Monitoring

16.1 Performance Metrics

Processing Speed:

Alert enrichment: 500-800ms (full pipeline)
Notification processing: 20-30ms (80% faster)
Recommendation processing: 50-80ms (60% faster)
Average improvement: 54%

Database Query Performance:

Get active alerts by tenant: <50ms
Get critical alerts with priority sort: <100ms
Escalation age calculation: <150ms
Alert chaining lookup: <75ms

API Response Times:

GET /alerts (paginated): <200ms
POST /alerts/{id}/acknowledge: <50ms
POST /alerts/{id}/resolve: <100ms

SSE Traffic:

Legacy (single channel): 100% of events to all pages
New (domain-based): 70% reduction on specialized pages
Dashboard: No change (needs all events)
Domain pages: 80-85% reduction

16.2 Caching Strategy

Redis Cache Keys:

tenant:{tenant_id}:alerts:active
tenant:{tenant_id}:alerts:critical
tenant:{tenant_id}:orchestrator_context:{action_id}

Cache Invalidation:

On alert creation: Invalidate alerts:active
On priority update: Invalidate alerts:critical
On escalation: Invalidate all alert caches
On resolution: Invalidate both active and critical

TTL:

Alert lists: 5 minutes
Orchestrator context: 15 minutes
Deduplication keys: 15 minutes

16.3 Monitoring Metrics

Prometheus Metrics:

# Alert creation rate
alert_created_total = Counter('alert_created_total', 'Total alerts created', ['tenant_id', 'alert_type'])

# Enrichment timing
enrichment_duration_seconds = Histogram('enrichment_duration_seconds', 'Enrichment processing time', ['event_type'])

# Priority distribution
alert_priority_distribution = Histogram('alert_priority_distribution', 'Alert priority scores', ['priority_level'])

# Resolution metrics
alert_resolution_time_seconds = Histogram('alert_resolution_time_seconds', 'Time to resolve alerts', ['alert_type'])

# Escalation tracking
alert_escalated_total = Counter('alert_escalated_total', 'Alerts escalated', ['escalation_reason'])

# Deduplication hits
alert_deduplicated_total = Counter('alert_deduplicated_total', 'Alerts deduplicated', ['alert_type'])

Key Metrics to Monitor:

Alert creation rate (per tenant, per type)
Average resolution time (should decrease over time)
Escalation rate (high rate indicates alerts being ignored)
Deduplication hit rate (should be 10-20%)
Enrichment performance (p50, p95, p99)
SSE connection count and duration

16.4 Health Checks

Alert Processor Health:

@app.get("/health")
async def health_check():
    checks = {
        "database": await check_db_connection(),
        "redis": await check_redis_connection(),
        "rabbitmq": await check_rabbitmq_connection(),
        "orchestrator_api": await check_orchestrator_api()
    }

    overall_healthy = all(checks.values())
    status_code = 200 if overall_healthy else 503

    return JSONResponse(
        status_code=status_code,
        content={
            "status": "healthy" if overall_healthy else "unhealthy",
            "checks": checks,
            "timestamp": datetime.utcnow().isoformat()
        }
    )

CronJob Monitoring:

# Kubernetes CronJob metrics
- Last successful run timestamp
- Last failed run timestamp
- Average execution duration
- Alert count processed per run
- Error count per run

16.5 Troubleshooting Guide

Problem: Alerts not appearing in frontend

Diagnosis:

Check alert created in database: SELECT * FROM alerts WHERE tenant_id=... ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 10;
Check Redis pub/sub: SUBSCRIBE tenant:{id}:inventory.alerts
Check SSE connection: Browser dev tools → Network → EventStream
Check frontend hook subscription: Console logs

Problem: Slow enrichment

Diagnosis:

Check Prometheus metrics for enrichment_duration_seconds
Identify slow enrichment service (orchestrator, priority scoring, etc.)
Check orchestrator API response time
Review database query performance (EXPLAIN ANALYZE)

Problem: High escalation rate

Diagnosis:

Query alerts by age: SELECT alert_type, COUNT(*) FROM alerts WHERE action_created_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '48 hours' GROUP BY alert_type;
Check if certain alert types are consistently ignored
Review smart actions (are they actionable?)
Check user permissions (can users actually execute actions?)

Problem: Duplicate alerts

Diagnosis:

Check deduplication key generation logic
Verify Redis connection (dedup keys being set?)
Review deduplication window (15 minutes may be too short)
Check for race conditions in concurrent alert creation
