# Intelligent Suggestion System Architecture

**Version:** 1.0
**Date:** 2026-01-18
**Purpose:** Architectural design for intelligent user guidance and validation feedback

---

## Overview

This document describes the architecture for an intelligent suggestion system that provides:
- **Real-time validation feedback** - Show users valid values WHILE they're typing
- **Contextual help** - Based on current conversation state and agent type
- **Smart error suggestions** - "Did you mean..." suggestions when validation fails
- **Proactive guidance** - Display rules, restrictions, and valid options before user enters values

---

## Design Principles

1. **Zero Breaking Changes** - All enhancements are ADDITIVE only
2. **Application-Level Solution** - Works for ALL questions (hundreds/thousands)
3. **Streamlit-Native** - Uses Streamlit's built-in features (no custom JavaScript)
4. **Performance-First** - Minimal latency, no blocking operations
5. **User-Centric** - Always show users what values are acceptable

---

## System Components

### 1. ValidationRulesEngine (Core Component)

**Purpose:** Central source of truth for all validation rules and valid values

**Location:** `mll_intake/utils/validation_rules.py` (NEW FILE)

**Responsibilities:**
- Define validation rules for each field type
- Provide valid value lists for dropdowns/suggestions
- Generate user-friendly error messages
- Provide "did you mean" suggestions using fuzzy matching

**Interface:**
```python
class ValidationRulesEngine:
    """Central validation rules engine for intelligent suggestions."""

    @staticmethod
    def get_valid_values(field_name: str) -> List[str]:
        """Get list of valid values for a field."""

    @staticmethod
    def get_field_rules(field_name: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """Get validation rules for a field (format, length, etc.)."""

    @staticmethod
    def validate_input(field_name: str, value: str) -> ValidationResult:
        """Validate user input and return detailed result."""

    @staticmethod
    def suggest_corrections(field_name: str, invalid_value: str) -> List[str]:
        """Generate 'did you mean' suggestions using fuzzy matching."""

    @staticmethod
    def get_field_help(field_name: str) -> str:
        """Get contextual help text for a field."""
```

**Data Sources:**
- Pulls from `config.py` (MLL_SITES, CAPABILITY_CENTERS, etc.)
- Pulls from `schemas.py` (enums for RequestType, CapabilityCenter)
- Extends with field-specific rules (site_id format, length limits)

---

### 2. SuggestionProvider (UI Component)

**Purpose:** Provides real-time suggestions in Streamlit UI

**Location:** `mll_intake/ui/suggestion_provider.py` (NEW FILE)

**Responsibilities:**
- Display valid value options as Streamlit components
- Show field rules and restrictions proactively
- Generate contextual help based on conversation state
- Provide real-time validation feedback

**Interface:**
```python
class SuggestionProvider:
    """Provides intelligent suggestions in Streamlit UI."""

    def __init__(self, validation_engine: ValidationRulesEngine):
        self.validation_engine = validation_engine

    def render_field_help(self, field_name: str) -> None:
        """Render help text for a field (expander or info box)."""

    def render_valid_options(self, field_name: str) -> None:
        """Render valid options as buttons or dropdown."""

    def render_validation_feedback(
        self,
        field_name: str,
        value: str
    ) -> None:
        """Render real-time validation feedback (error/warning/success)."""

    def render_suggestions(
        self,
        field_name: str,
        invalid_value: str
    ) -> None:
        """Render 'did you mean' suggestions."""
```

**Streamlit Components Used:**
- `st.info()` - Display field rules and help
- `st.expander()` - Collapsible help sections
- `st.radio()` or `st.selectbox()` - Valid option selection
- `st.success()` / `st.warning()` / `st.error()` - Validation feedback
- `st.button()` - Quick-select buttons for common values

---

### 3. ContextualHelpManager (Intelligence Component)

**Purpose:** Provides context-aware guidance based on conversation state

**Location:** `mll_intake/utils/contextual_help.py` (NEW FILE)

**Responsibilities:**
- Determine which fields are currently being requested
- Provide field-specific help based on agent type
- Show examples based on previous successful inputs
- Adapt guidance based on user errors

**Interface:**
```python
class ContextualHelpManager:
    """Manages contextual help based on conversation state."""

    def __init__(self, session_state):
        self.session_state = session_state

    def get_current_field(self) -> str:
        """Determine which field is currently being requested."""

    def get_contextual_help(self, field_name: str) -> str:
        """Get context-aware help based on current state."""

    def get_field_examples(self, field_name: str) -> List[str]:
        """Get examples based on conversation history."""

    def should_show_help(self, field_name: str) -> bool:
        """Determine if help should be shown proactively."""
```

**Context Sources:**
- `st.session_state.current_agent` - Which agent is active
- `st.session_state.collected_fields` - What fields have been collected
- `st.session_state.last_error` - What was the last validation error
- `st.session_state.messages` - Conversation history

## Integration Points with Existing System

### 1. app.py Integration

**Location:** `mll_intake/app.py` (lines 498-530, current validation section)

**Changes:**
```python
# BEFORE (Current - Reactive Validation):
if len(user_input) > 500:
    st.error("⚠️ Input too long. Please limit your message to 500 characters.")
    return

# AFTER (New - Proactive Guidance + Reactive Validation):
# Initialize suggestion provider
if 'suggestion_provider' not in st.session_state:
    from mll_intake.ui.suggestion_provider import SuggestionProvider
    from mll_intake.utils.validation_rules import ValidationRulesEngine
    from mll_intake.utils.contextual_help import ContextualHelpManager

    st.session_state.suggestion_provider = SuggestionProvider(ValidationRulesEngine())
    st.session_state.context_help = ContextualHelpManager(st.session_state)

# Detect current field being requested
current_field = st.session_state.context_help.get_current_field()

# Show proactive help if applicable
if current_field and st.session_state.context_help.should_show_help(current_field):
    st.session_state.suggestion_provider.render_field_help(current_field)

    # Show valid options as quick-select buttons
    selected_value = st.session_state.suggestion_provider.render_valid_options(current_field)

    if selected_value:
        # User clicked a suggestion button - auto-populate input
        user_input = selected_value

# Length validation (existing)
if len(user_input) > 500:
    st.error("⚠️ Input too long. Please limit your message to 500 characters.")
    return

# Real-time validation for known fields
if current_field:
    result = st.session_state.suggestion_provider.render_validation_feedback(
        current_field,
        user_input
    )

    if not result.is_valid:
        # Show suggestions
        suggested = st.session_state.suggestion_provider.render_suggestions(
            current_field,
            user_input
        )

        if suggested:
            # User clicked suggestion - use it
            user_input = suggested
```

**Impact:** Zero breaking changes - existing validation still works, enhanced validation is ADDITIVE

---

### 2. Message Rendering Integration

**Location:** `mll_intake/app.py` (lines 600-648, render_selection_ui function)

**Enhancement:**
```python
def render_selection_ui_enhanced():
    """Enhanced version with proactive guidance."""
    # Get current field from context
    current_field = st.session_state.context_help.get_current_field()

    if not current_field:
        # Fall back to existing logic
        render_selection_ui()
        return

    # Render help first (proactive)
    st.session_state.suggestion_provider.render_field_help(current_field)

    # Render valid options as buttons/dropdown
    selected = st.session_state.suggestion_provider.render_valid_options(current_field)

    if selected:
        st.session_state.pending_message = selected
        st.rerun()
```

---

## Zero Breaking Changes Guarantee

**How we ensure NO breaking changes:**

1. **All new components are OPTIONAL**
   - System works WITHOUT suggestion provider
   - Existing validation logic unchanged
   - New logic only activates if components initialized

2. **Graceful degradation**
   - If suggestion provider fails to load → continue without it
   - If field detection fails → show default behavior
   - If fuzzy matching fails → show no suggestions

3. **Additive enhancements only**
   - New UI components added BEFORE existing logic
   - Existing error messages preserved
   - New suggestions shown IN ADDITION to existing errors

4. **Feature flag control** (optional)
   - Can add `ENABLE_INTELLIGENT_SUGGESTIONS` flag to config
   - Default: True (enabled)
   - If False: revert to existing behavior

---

## Performance Considerations

**Validation Engine:**
- All operations are in-memory (no database queries)
- Fuzzy matching on small sets (< 10 values)
- O(1) lookup for field rules
- **Impact:** < 1ms per validation

**UI Rendering:**
- Streamlit native components only (no custom JS)
- Button rendering: O(n) where n = number of valid values
- Conditional rendering (only show when needed)
- **Impact:** < 50ms for full UI update

**Context Detection:**
- Simple keyword matching on last message
- No LLM calls for field detection
- Cached results in session state
- **Impact:** < 1ms per detection

**Total Overhead:** < 100ms per user interaction (negligible)

---

## Testing Strategy

### Unit Tests

**File:** `tests/test_validation_rules.py`

Tests:
- Valid value retrieval for all field types
- Input validation (valid and invalid cases)
- Fuzzy matching suggestions
- Field help text retrieval

**File:** `tests/test_suggestion_provider.py`

Tests:
- Help rendering (mocked Streamlit)
- Option rendering (buttons vs dropdown)
- Validation feedback display
- Suggestion rendering

**File:** `tests/test_contextual_help.py`

Tests:
- Field detection from messages
- Contextual help generation
- History-based examples
- Help visibility logic

### Integration Tests

**File:** `tests/test_intelligent_suggestions_integration.py`

Tests:
- Complete workflow: site_id input with suggestions
- Complete workflow: capability center selection
- Complete workflow: error correction with "did you mean"
- Complete workflow: multiple field collection

### E2E Tests

**Validation:** Run existing test suite (46 tests) to ensure zero breaking changes

```bash
# Run all tests
pytest tests/ -v

# Expected: 46 existing tests + 20 new tests = 66 tests total
# All should pass (100% success rate)
```

---

## Success Metrics

**User Experience:**
- Reduce average time to complete intake: Target 30% reduction
- Reduce validation error rate: Target 50% reduction
- Increase first-try success rate: Target from 60% to 90%

**System Performance:**
- Maintain < 100ms overhead per interaction
- Maintain 100% test pass rate
- Zero production incidents related to validation changes

**Adoption:**
- 100% of fields show proactive guidance
- 100% of validation errors include suggestions
- 100% of common fields have quick-select buttons

---

## Future Enhancements (Post-MVP)

1. **Machine Learning Suggestions**
   - Learn from successful inputs across all users
   - Personalize suggestions based on user history
   - Predict field values based on context

2. **Auto-Complete**
   - Real-time autocomplete as user types
   - Fuzzy search through valid values
   - Keyboard navigation support

3. **Multi-Language Support**
   - Translate help text and field labels
   - Support locale-specific formats (dates, numbers)
   - Regional site suggestions

4. **Voice Input**
   - Speech-to-text for field values
   - Voice-guided navigation
   - Hands-free operation
