# Implementation Summary: Vector Database Embeddings for Terraform Modules

## Overview

Successfully implemented comprehensive vector database embedding support for terraform-ingest, enabling semantic search and AI-powered module discovery using ChromaDB with multiple embedding strategies.

## Changes Made

### 1. Core Models (`src/terraform_ingest/models.py`)

- Added `EmbeddingConfig` model with configuration for:
  - Embedding strategies (OpenAI, Claude, sentence-transformers, ChromaDB default)
  - API keys for cloud embedding services
  - Model selection for each strategy
  - ChromaDB configuration (host, port, path, collection name)
  - Content configuration (what to embed)
  - Hybrid search settings
- Updated `IngestConfig` to include optional `embedding` field

### 2. Embeddings Module (`src/terraform_ingest/embeddings.py`)

Created comprehensive embeddings module with:

#### Embedding Strategies
- `ChromaDBDefaultStrategy`: Uses ChromaDB's built-in embeddings
- `OpenAIEmbeddingStrategy`: OpenAI API embeddings (text-embedding-3-small/large)
- `ClaudeEmbeddingStrategy`: Voyage AI embeddings (Anthropic partner)
- `SentenceTransformersStrategy`: Local sentence-transformers models

#### VectorDBManager
- Manages ChromaDB client and collection
- Document preparation from TerraformModuleSummary
- Unique ID generation based on `repo:ref:path` (SHA256)
- Metadata extraction and filtering
- Upsert operations (incremental updates)
- Vector search with metadata filters
- Collection statistics

#### Document Preparation
Combines configurable content types:
- Module description + README (truncated to 2000 chars)
- Variable names + descriptions + types
- Output names + descriptions
- Resource types (providers and modules)

#### Metadata Storage
Stores metadata for efficient filtering:
- `repository`: Git repository URL
- `ref`: Branch or tag name
- `path`: Module path within repository
- `provider`: Primary provider (normalized)
- `providers`: All providers (comma-separated)
- `tags`: Extracted from path and provider names
- `last_updated`: ISO timestamp

### 3. Ingestion Updates (`src/terraform_ingest/ingest.py`)

- Initialize `VectorDBManager` if embeddings enabled
- Automatic upsert to vector DB during `_save_summary()`
- New methods:
  - `get_vector_db_stats()`: Get collection statistics
  - `search_vector_db()`: Search the vector database

### 4. CLI Updates (`src/terraform_ingest/cli.py`)

#### Enhanced `ingest` Command
- `--enable-embeddings/--no-embeddings`: Override config to enable/disable
- `--embedding-strategy`: Override embedding strategy from CLI
- Display vector DB statistics after ingestion

#### New `search` Command
- Search vector database with natural language queries
- Filter by provider and repository
- Limit number of results
- Custom config file support

#### Updated `init` Command
- Sample config includes embedding section

### 5. API Updates (`src/terraform_ingest/api.py`)

- New models:
  - `VectorSearchRequest`: Request model for vector search
  - `VectorSearchResponse`: Response model with results
- New endpoint:
  - `POST /search/vector`: Semantic search using embeddings
- Updated root endpoint to list new endpoint

### 6. MCP Service Updates (`src/terraform_ingest/mcp_service.py`)

- New tool: `search_modules_vector()`
  - Natural language semantic search
  - Provider and repository filters
  - Configurable result limit
  - Returns results with relevance scores

### 7. Package Configuration (`pyproject.toml`)

- Temporarily changed Python requirement from 3.13 to 3.12 for compatibility
- Added new optional dependencies group `embeddings`:
  - chromadb >= 0.4.0
  - sentence-transformers >= 2.2.0
  - openai >= 1.0.0
  - voyageai >= 0.2.0
