# Security Type Mapping Migration Guide

**Document Version**: 1.0  
**Last Updated**: September 4, 2025  
**Migration Status**: Complete ✅

---

## 📋 Overview

This guide documents the complete migration from hardcoded security type mappings scattered across multiple modules to a centralized 3-tier fallback system. This architectural change improves maintainability, consistency, and reliability while preserving all existing functionality.

## 🎯 Migration Summary

### **Problem Solved**
- **Scattered Logic**: Security type mappings were hardcoded in 4 different modules (SnapTrade, FMP, Settings, Plaid)
- **Maintenance Burden**: Adding new security types required changes in multiple files
- **Inconsistency Risk**: Different modules could have conflicting mappings
- **No Fallback**: System failure if any single mapping was incorrect

### **Solution Implemented**
- **Centralized System**: Single source of truth at `utils/security_type_mappings.py`
- **3-Tier Fallback**: Database → YAML → Hardcoded for maximum reliability
- **Zero Downtime**: Graceful degradation when database unavailable
- **Admin Interface**: Professional CLI tools for ongoing management

## 🏗️ Architecture Changes

### **Before: Scattered Hardcoded Mappings**

```python
# snaptrade_loader.py (BEFORE)
def _map_snaptrade_code_to_internal(snaptrade_code: str) -> str:
    code_mapping = {
        'cs': 'equity', 'ps': 'equity', 'ad': 'equity',
        'et': 'etf', 'oef': 'mutual_fund', 'cef': 'mutual_fund',
        # ... hardcoded mappings
    }
    return code_mapping.get(snaptrade_code.lower(), 'unknown')

# services/security_type_service.py (BEFORE)
@staticmethod
def normalize_fmp_profile(profile: dict, ticker: str = None, original_type: str = None) -> str:
    if profile.get("isEtf", False):
        return "etf"
    elif profile.get("isFund", False):
        return "mutual_fund"
    # ... hardcoded logic

# settings.py (BEFORE)
SECURITY_TYPE_CRASH_MAPPING = {
    "equity": "single_stock_crash",
    "etf": "etf_crash",
    "mutual_fund": "mutual_fund_crash",
    "cash": "cash_crash"
}

# plaid_loader.py (BEFORE)
def get_enhanced_security_type(ticker: str, original_type: str) -> str:
    if original_type != 'equity':
        return original_type  # Hardcoded preserve logic
    # ... hardcoded logic
```

### **After: Centralized 3-Tier System**

```python
# utils/security_type_mappings.py (AFTER)
def get_security_type_mappings() -> Dict[str, Dict[str, Any]]:
    """
    Get security type mappings using 3-tier fallback:
    1. Database (primary)
    2. YAML (fallback)
    3. Hardcoded (ultimate fallback)
    """
    try:
        # Try database first
        db_client = DatabaseClient()
        return db_client.get_security_type_mappings()
    except Exception as e:
        database_logger.warning(f"⚠️ Database unavailable: {e}")
        # Fall back to YAML
        return _load_mappings_from_yaml()

# All modules now use centralized functions:
from utils.security_type_mappings import map_snaptrade_code, map_fmp_profile, get_crash_scenario_mappings
```

## 🔧 Implementation Details

### **3-Tier Fallback Architecture**

```python
def get_security_type_mappings() -> Dict[str, Dict[str, Any]]:
    """
    TIER 1: Database (Primary)
    - PostgreSQL tables with indexes
    - Real-time updates via admin interface
    - Multi-user support with proper isolation
    """
    try:
        db_client = DatabaseClient()
        mappings = db_client.get_security_type_mappings()
        if mappings:
            database_logger.debug("✅ Security type mappings loaded from database")
            return mappings
    except Exception as e:
        database_logger.warning(f"⚠️ Database unavailable: {e}")
    
    """
    TIER 2: YAML Configuration (Fallback)
    - File-based configuration for development
    - Disaster recovery when database down
    - Version controlled configuration
    """
    try:
        config = load_yaml_file("security_type_mappings.yaml")
        if config and 'provider_mappings' in config:
            portfolio_logger.info("🔄 Falling back to YAML configuration")
            return config['provider_mappings']
    except Exception as e:
        portfolio_logger.warning(f"⚠️ YAML configuration unavailable: {e}")
    
    """
    TIER 3: Hardcoded Defaults (Ultimate Fallback)
    - Built-in mappings for system stability
    - Ensures system never completely fails
    - Minimal but functional mapping set
    """
    portfolio_logger.warning("🔧 Using hardcoded fallback mappings")
    return {
        'snaptrade': {
            'cs': 'equity', 'et': 'etf', 'oef': 'mutual_fund',
            'cash': 'cash'  # Minimal essential mappings
        },
        'fmp': {
            'isEtf': 'etf', 'isFund': 'mutual_fund', 'CUR:': 'cash'
        }
    }
```

### **Database Schema Design**

```sql
-- Security type provider mappings
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS security_type_mappings (
    provider VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,           -- 'snaptrade', 'fmp', 'plaid'
    provider_code VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,      -- 'cs', 'isEtf', 'preserve_non_equity'
    canonical_type VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,     -- 'equity', 'etf', 'mutual_fund'
    description TEXT,                        -- Human-readable description
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    PRIMARY KEY(provider, provider_code)
);

-- Security type crash scenarios
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS security_type_scenarios (
    security_type VARCHAR(20) PRIMARY KEY,   -- 'equity', 'etf', 'mutual_fund'
    crash_scenario VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,     -- 'single_stock_crash', 'etf_crash'
    crash_percentage DECIMAL(5,3) NOT NULL,  -- 0.800 for 80% crash
    description TEXT,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- Indexes for performance
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_security_type_mappings_provider ON security_type_mappings(provider);
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_security_type_mappings_canonical ON security_type_mappings(canonical_type);

-- Automatic updated_at triggers
CREATE TRIGGER update_security_type_mappings_updated_at BEFORE UPDATE ON security_type_mappings
    FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE FUNCTION update_updated_at_column();
CREATE TRIGGER update_security_type_scenarios_updated_at BEFORE UPDATE ON security_type_scenarios
    FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE FUNCTION update_updated_at_column();
```

## 🚀 Deployment Guide

### **Phase 1: Database Setup**

```bash
# 1. Apply database schema changes
psql risk_module_db < database/schema.sql

# 2. Verify tables created
psql risk_module_db -c "\dt security_type*"
# Expected output:
#  security_type_mappings
#  security_type_scenarios

# 3. Run migration script to seed data
python3 admin/migrate_reference_data.py
# Expected output:
#  🔐 Successfully migrated X security type mappings and Y crash scenarios
```

### **Phase 2: Code Deployment**

```bash
# 1. Deploy new utility module
# utils/security_type_mappings.py (new file)

# 2. Deploy YAML configuration
# security_type_mappings.yaml (new file)

# 3. Deploy updated modules
# snaptrade_loader.py (modified)
# services/security_type_service.py (modified)
# settings.py (modified)
# plaid_loader.py (modified)
# inputs/database_client.py (modified)

# 4. Deploy admin tools
# admin/migrate_reference_data.py (modified)
# admin/manage_reference_data.py (modified)
```

### **Phase 3: Validation**

```bash
# 1. Test centralized mapping functions
python3 -c "
from utils.security_type_mappings import map_snaptrade_code, map_fmp_profile
print('SnapTrade cs:', map_snaptrade_code('cs'))
print('FMP isEtf:', map_fmp_profile({'isEtf': True}))
"

# 2. Test admin interface
python3 admin/manage_reference_data.py security-type list
python3 admin/manage_reference_data.py crash-scenario list

# 3. Test fallback behavior (simulate database down)
# Temporarily rename database to test YAML fallback
# Temporarily rename YAML to test hardcoded fallback
```

## 🧪 Testing Strategy

### **Functional Testing**

```python
# Test 1: Verify mapping consistency
def test_mapping_consistency():
    """Ensure all providers return consistent canonical types"""
    # SnapTrade 'cs' should map to 'equity'
    assert map_snaptrade_code('cs') == 'equity'
    
    # FMP isEtf should map to 'etf'  
    assert map_fmp_profile({'isEtf': True}) == 'etf'
    
    # Settings should use centralized crash scenarios
    from settings import SECURITY_TYPE_CRASH_MAPPING
    assert 'equity' in SECURITY_TYPE_CRASH_MAPPING
    assert SECURITY_TYPE_CRASH_MAPPING['equity'] == 'single_stock_crash'

# Test 2: Verify 3-tier fallback
def test_fallback_behavior():
    """Test graceful degradation through all tiers"""
    # Simulate database unavailable
    with mock_database_unavailable():
        mappings = get_security_type_mappings()
        assert 'snaptrade' in mappings  # Should fall back to YAML
    
    # Simulate both database and YAML unavailable
    with mock_database_unavailable(), mock_yaml_unavailable():
        mappings = get_security_type_mappings()
        assert 'snaptrade' in mappings  # Should fall back to hardcoded
```

### **Integration Testing**

```python
# Test 3: End-to-end provider integration
def test_provider_integration():
    """Test actual provider code paths use centralized system"""
    # Test SnapTrade integration
    from snaptrade_loader import _map_snaptrade_code_to_internal
    result = _map_snaptrade_code_to_internal('cs')
    assert result == 'equity'
    
    # Test FMP integration
    from services.security_type_service import SecurityTypeService
    result = SecurityTypeService.normalize_fmp_profile({'isEtf': True})
    assert result == 'etf'
    
    # Test Plaid integration
    from plaid_loader import should_preserve_plaid_type
    result = should_preserve_plaid_type('mutual_fund')
    assert result == True  # Should preserve non-equity types
```

### **Performance Testing**

```python
# Test 4: Verify memoization works
def test_memoization():
    """Ensure repeated calls use cached results"""
    import time
    
    # First call (should hit database/YAML)
    start = time.time()
    mappings1 = get_security_type_mappings()
    first_call_time = time.time() - start
    
    # Second call (should use memoized result)
    start = time.time()
    mappings2 = get_security_type_mappings()
    second_call_time = time.time() - start
    
    # Memoized call should be significantly faster
    assert second_call_time < first_call_time / 10
    assert mappings1 == mappings2
```

## 🔧 Maintenance Guide

### **Adding New Security Types**

```bash
# 1. Add provider mapping
python3 admin/manage_reference_data.py security-type add snaptrade new_code equity

# 2. Add crash scenario (if new canonical type)
python3 admin/manage_reference_data.py crash-scenario add new_type new_crash_scenario 0.750

# 3. Verify mapping
python3 admin/manage_reference_data.py security-type list
```

### **Updating Existing Mappings**

```bash
# Update existing mapping (same command as add - uses UPSERT)
python3 admin/manage_reference_data.py security-type add snaptrade cs stock

# Update crash scenario
python3 admin/manage_reference_data.py crash-scenario add equity single_stock_crash 0.850
```

### **Monitoring and Troubleshooting**

```bash
# Check system health
python3 -c "
from utils.security_type_mappings import get_security_type_mappings
mappings = get_security_type_mappings()
print(f'Loaded {len(mappings)} providers')
for provider, codes in mappings.items():
    print(f'  {provider}: {len(codes)} mappings')
"

# Test fallback behavior
# 1. Stop database temporarily
# 2. Check logs for fallback messages:
#    "⚠️ Database unavailable: ..., using YAML fallback"
#    "🔄 Falling back to YAML configuration"
```

### **Backup and Recovery**

```bash
# Export current mappings
python3 -c "
from utils.security_type_mappings import get_security_type_mappings
import yaml
mappings = get_security_type_mappings()
with open('security_mappings_backup.yaml', 'w') as f:
    yaml.dump({'provider_mappings': mappings}, f)
print('Backup created: security_mappings_backup.yaml')
"

# Restore from backup (if needed)
# 1. Update security_type_mappings.yaml with backup data
# 2. Run migration script to restore to database
python3 admin/migrate_reference_data.py
```

## 🎯 Future Enhancements

### **Planned Improvements**

1. **Web Admin Interface**: GUI for managing mappings (beyond CLI)
2. **Mapping Validation**: Automated validation of new mappings
3. **Usage Analytics**: Track which mappings are used most frequently
4. **A/B Testing**: Support for testing new mappings before deployment
5. **API Integration**: REST API endpoints for external mapping management

### **Extension Points**

```python
# Easy to add new providers
def map_new_provider_code(code: str) -> Optional[str]:
    """Map new provider codes to canonical types"""
    mappings = get_security_type_mappings()
    new_provider_mappings = mappings.get('new_provider', {})
    return new_provider_mappings.get(code)

# Easy to add new canonical types
def get_canonical_types() -> List[str]:
    """Get all supported canonical security types"""
    config = load_yaml_file("security_type_mappings.yaml")
    return config.get('canonical_types', [])
```
