+# Universal Document Type Detector
+
+## Overview
+
+`UniversalDocumentDetector` is a comprehensive document type detection system with support for **25+ formats**:
+
+### Supported Types
+
+```
+Office documents:     docx, xlsx, pptx, odt, ods
+PDF variants:         pdf_text, pdf_scan
+Text formats:         txt, md, html, xml, json, csv
+Code:                 python, javascript, typescript, java, go, rust, c++, c, c#
+Configuration:        yaml, toml, ini, properties
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Multi-layer Detection Strategy
+
+The detector uses **5 methods** in order of reliability:
+
+```
+1️⃣  Magic Bytes (binary signature)     [Confidence: 0.95]
+    └─ the most reliable method
+    └─ analyzes the first bytes of the file
+    └─ works for all binary formats
+
+2️⃣  File Extension                     [Confidence: 0.85]
+    └─ fast and usually reliable
+    └─ uses file extension
+    └─ may fail if the file was renamed
+
+3️⃣  MIME Type (python-magic)           [Confidence: 0.90]
+    └─ detects MIME type from content
+    └─ requires python-magic
+    └─ highly reliable for standard formats
+
+4️⃣  Content Heuristics                 [Confidence: 0.75-0.95]
+    └─ analyzes text structure
+    └─ looks for format markers (<?xml, {, #, etc.)
+    └─ works for text formats
+
+5️⃣  Fallback (default)                 [Confidence: 0.5]
+    └─ used if nothing else worked
+    └─ returns UNSUPPORTED or TXT
+```
+
+### PDF Sub-classification
+
+For PDF files, an additional subtype is detected:
+
+- **pdf_text**: PDF with a text layer
+  - Text can be extracted directly via PyMuPDF
+  - Usually created digitally
+
+- **pdf_scan**: PDF from scanned images
+  - Requires OCR (optical character recognition)
+  - May come from scanner or camera captures
+
+## API
+
+### Base Class: UniversalDocumentDetector
+
+```python
+from ragflow_orchestrator.document_detector import UniversalDocumentDetector
+
+detector = UniversalDocumentDetector(
+    enable_ocr=True,              # Enable OCR for PDF
+    ocr_callable=my_custom_ocr,   # Optional custom OCR function
+)
+```
+
+#### Method: `detect()`
+
+```python
+detection = detector.detect(
+    file_path=Path("document.pdf"),    # File path
+    file_data=b"...",                  # Raw file bytes
+    text="...",                        # Text content
+)
+
+# Result:
+# - document_type: DocumentType (enum)
+# - mime_type: str (if detected)
+# - source: str (detection method)
+# - confidence: float (0.0-1.0)
+# - pdf_subtype: str (for PDFs)
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `file_path` (optional): Path for quick extension-based detection
+- `file_data` (optional): Raw bytes for magic bytes and MIME analysis
+- `text` (optional): Text content for structural analysis
+
+**Returns:** `DocumentDetection` with full details
+
+#### Method: `detect_pdf_subtype()`
+
+```python
+pdf_detection = detector.detect_pdf_subtype(Path("regulations.pdf"))
+
+# Result:
+# - document_type: DocumentType.PDF_TEXT or DocumentType.PDF_SCAN
+# - pdf_subtype: "text_layer" or "ocr"
+# - confidence: float
+```
+
+**Uses:**
+- PyMuPDF for PDF structure analysis
+- Text-layer presence checks
+- Large image detection (scan indicator)
+
+### Convenience Functions
+
+#### `detect_document_type()`
+
+Quickly detect a single document type:
+
+```python
+detection = detect_document_type(
+    file_path=Path("regulations.pdf"),
+)
+
+print(f"Type: {detection.document_type}")      # DocumentType.PDF_TEXT
+print(f"Confidence: {detection.confidence}")   # 0.95
+print(f"Source: {detection.source}")           # "magic_bytes"
+```
+
+#### `detect_pdf_type()`
+
+Specialized PDF subtype detection:
+
+```python
+detection = detect_pdf_type(Path("regulations.pdf"))
+
+if detection.document_type == DocumentType.PDF_TEXT:
+    print("✓ PDF with text layer - use direct extraction")
+elif detection.document_type == DocumentType.PDF_SCAN:
+    print("✓ Scanned PDF - use OCR")
+```
+
+#### `batch_detect_documents()`
+
+Batch detection for multiple files:
+
+```python
+results = batch_detect_documents([
+    "doc1.pdf",
+    "doc2.xlsx",
+    "doc3.md",
+])
+
+for file_path, detection in results.items():
+    print(f"{file_path}: {detection.document_type.value}")
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### 1️⃣ Basic Type Detection
+
+```python
+from ragflow_orchestrator.document_detector import detect_document_type
+from pathlib import Path
+
+file_path = Path("regulations.pdf")
+detection = detect_document_type(file_path=file_path)
+
+print(f"Type: {detection.document_type}")    # pdf_text or pdf_scan
+print(f"Confidence: {detection.confidence:.1%}")  # 95%
+```
+
+### 2️⃣ Detection with File Data
+
+```python
+# For reliable detection, include file bytes
+with open("document.docx", "rb") as f:
+    file_data = f.read()
+
+detection = detect_document_type(
+    file_path=Path("document.docx"),
+    file_data=file_data,
+)
+
+print(f"Type: {detection.document_type}")  # docx
+print(f"Source: {detection.source}")       # magic_bytes or extension
+```
+
+### 3️⃣ PDF Subtype Detection
+
+```python
+from ragflow_orchestrator.document_detector import UniversalDocumentDetector
+from ragflow_orchestrator.cleaning.normative_parser import parse_normative_pdf
+
+detector = UniversalDocumentDetector(enable_ocr=True)
+detection = detector.detect_pdf_subtype("regulations.pdf")
+
+if detection.document_type.value == "pdf_text":
+    # Use standard normative parser
+    chunks = parse_normative_pdf(
+        pdf_path="regulations.pdf",
+        doc_id="doc_uuid",
+        doc_title="GOST 27751-2014",
+    )
+else:
+    # OCR is required for scanned PDFs
+    chunks = parse_normative_pdf(
+        pdf_path="regulations.pdf",
+        doc_id="doc_uuid",
+        doc_title="GOST 27751-2014",
+    )
+```
+
+### 4️⃣ Pipeline Integration
+
+```python
+from ragflow_orchestrator.versioned_pipeline import VersionedDocumentPipeline
+from ragflow_orchestrator.document_detector import (
+    UniversalDocumentDetector,
+    DocumentType,
+)
+
+detector = UniversalDocumentDetector(enable_ocr=True)
+
+def process_document(file_path, pipeline):
+    """Process a document with automatic type detection."""
+
+    # Read file bytes
+    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
+        file_data = f.read()
+
+    # Detect type
+    detection = detector.detect(
+        file_path=file_path,
+        file_data=file_data,
+    )
+
+    # Extract text by type
+    if detection.document_type == DocumentType.DOCX:
+        text = extract_docx_text(file_path)
+    elif detection.document_type in (DocumentType.PDF_TEXT, DocumentType.PDF_SCAN):
+        text = extract_pdf_text(file_path, detection.document_type)
+    elif detection.document_type == DocumentType.XLSX:
+        text = extract_xlsx_text(file_path)
+    else:
+        with open(file_path, "r", encoding="utf-8", errors="ignore") as f:
+            text = f.read()
+
+    # Ingest into pipeline
+    result = pipeline.ingest_document(
+        file_path=file_path,
+        text=text,
+        auto_tags=[detection.document_type.value],
+    )
+
+    return result
+```
+
+### 5️⃣ Confidence-based Processing
+
+```python
+def process_with_confidence_check(file_path):
+    detector = UniversalDocumentDetector(enable_ocr=False)
+    detection = detector.detect(file_path=file_path)
+
+    if detection.confidence > 0.9:
+        # High confidence - process directly
+        return process_as_type(detection.document_type)
+
+    elif detection.confidence > 0.7:
+        # Medium confidence - process with warning
+        print(f"Warning: Detected as {detection.document_type}, confidence: {detection.confidence:.1%}")
+        return process_as_type(detection.document_type)
+
+    else:
+        # Low confidence - ask for confirmation
+        raise ValueError(f"Cannot reliably detect {file_path}, confidence: {detection.confidence:.1%}")
+```
+
+### 6️⃣ Specialized Detectors by Mode
+
+```python
+# Text-only detection
+text_detector = UniversalDocumentDetector(enable_ocr=False)
+
+# OCR-enabled PDF detection
+pdf_detector = UniversalDocumentDetector(enable_ocr=True)
+
+# Custom OCR detector
+def my_ocr_checker(pdf_path):
+    """Checks whether a PDF is scanned."""
+    # Your custom logic
+    return is_scan
+
+custom_detector = UniversalDocumentDetector(
+    enable_ocr=True,
+    ocr_callable=my_ocr_checker,
+)
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Magic Bytes
+
+The first bytes are used to identify format:
+
+```python
+# PDF
+b"%PDF" -> DocumentType.PDF_TEXT
+
+# ZIP-based (Office)
+b"PK\x03\x04" -> inspect internal structure
+  |- word/ + document.xml -> DOCX
+  |- xl/ + workbook.xml -> XLSX
+  |- ppt/ + presentation.xml -> PPTX
+
+# OLE-based (legacy Office)
+b"\xd0\xcf\x11\xe0\xa1\xb1\x1a\xe1" -> OLDOFFICE
+
+# Images
+b"\xff\xd8\xff" -> JPEG
+b"\x89PNG\r\n\x1a\n" -> PNG
+b"GIF8" -> GIF
+```
+
+### MIME Type Detection
+
+Uses `python-magic` for MIME detection:
+
+```bash
+pip install python-magic
+```
+
+Examples:
+- `application/pdf` -> PDF
+- `application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document` -> DOCX
+- `text/plain` -> TXT
+- `application/json` -> JSON
+
+### Content Heuristics
+
+Analyzes text patterns:
+
+```python
+# XML
+if starts_with("<?xml") -> XML
+
+# JSON
+if starts_with("[" or "{") and valid_json -> JSON
+
+# YAML
+if has ":" and key:value structure -> YAML
+
+# Markdown
+if markers present: # ## ### ``` - * | -> MARKDOWN
+
+# CSV
+if multiple rows with delimiters -> CSV
+
+# Code
+if keywords present: def, class, function, import -> CODE
+```
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+### Single File
+
+```python
+# Optimal: pass path + bytes
+with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
+    file_data = f.read()
+
+detection = detector.detect(
+    file_path=file_path,
+    file_data=file_data,
+)
+# Cost: magic bytes (95% confidence) + extension
+```
+
+### Folder Batch
+
+```python
+# Use batch_detect_documents()
+results = batch_detect_documents(folder_path.glob("*"))
+
+# Benefits:
+# - parallel processing (if enabled)
+# - result caching
+# - fewer repeated checks
+```
+
+### Large Files
+
+```python
+# Read only first 8KB instead of full file
+with open(large_file, "rb") as f:
+    file_data = f.read(8192)
+
+detection = detector.detect(
+    file_path=large_file,
+    file_data=file_data,
+    # text can be omitted for binary formats
+)
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "python-magic not found"
+
+```bash
+pip install python-magic-bin  # Windows
+pip install python-magic      # Linux/macOS
+```
+
+### "PyMuPDF not found" (for PDF analysis)
+
+```bash
+pip install PyMuPDF
+```
+
+### "PaddleOCR not found" (for scanned PDFs)
+
+```bash
+pip install paddleocr
+python -c "from paddleocr import PaddleOCR; PaddleOCR(lang='ru')"
+```
+
+### Wrong Type Detection
+
+1. Verify the file extension.
+2. Ensure `file_data` is passed for reliable analysis.
+3. Check `detection.source` to understand which strategy was used.
+4. If `confidence < 0.7`, request user confirmation.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+Potential improvements:
+
+- [ ] ML-based classification for ambiguous cases
+- [ ] Parallelization improvements for `batch_detect_documents()`
+- [ ] Detection result caching
+- [ ] Support for rare formats (7z, rar, iso, etc.)
+- [ ] Encrypted/protected file recognition

+    else:
+        text = apply_ocr(pdf_path)
+
+    return text
+```
+
+### Integration with VersionedDocumentPipeline
+
+```python

+from ragflow_orchestrator.document_detector import UniversalDocumentDetector, DocumentType
+
+detector = UniversalDocumentDetector(enable_ocr=True)
+
+def ingest_auto_typed_document(file_path, pipeline):
+    """Ingest document with automatic type detection."""
+
+    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
+        file_data = f.read()
+
+    detection = detector.detect(
+        file_path=file_path,
+        file_data=file_data,
+    )
+
+    if detection.document_type == DocumentType.DOCX:
+        from docx import Document
+        doc = Document(file_path)
+        text = "\n".join(p.text for p in doc.paragraphs)
+
+    elif detection.document_type in (DocumentType.PDF_TEXT, DocumentType.PDF_SCAN):
+        import fitz
+        doc = fitz.open(str(file_path))
+        text = "".join(page.get_text() for page in doc)
+        doc.close()
+
+    elif detection.document_type == DocumentType.XLSX:
+        text = extract_xlsx_text(file_path)
+
+    else:
+        with open(file_path, "r", encoding="utf-8", errors="ignore") as f:
+            text = f.read()
+
+    result = pipeline.ingest_document(
+        file_path=file_path,
+        text=text,
+        auto_tags=[detection.document_type.value],
+    )
+
+    return result
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+Total: **45+ tests** covering:
+
+```
+Detection by extension
+Detection by magic bytes
+Detection by content
+Confidence evaluation
+Multi-strategy detection
+Convenience functions
+PDF subtype detection
+Edge cases
+Source tracking
+MIME detection
+```
+
+### Run Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all detector tests
+pytest tests/test_document_detector.py -v
+
+# Run one test class
+pytest tests/test_document_detector.py::TestDetectionByExtension -v
+
+# Run with coverage
+pytest tests/test_document_detector.py --cov=ragflow_orchestrator.document_detector
+```
+
+---
+
+## Comparison with Alternatives
+
+| Approach | Pros | Cons | Confidence |
+|----------|------|------|------------|
+| **Extension only** | Fast | Unreliable if renamed | 60% |
+| **Magic bytes only** | Reliable | Requires file I/O | 95% |
+| **python-magic only** | Universal | Extra dependency, slower | 85% |
+| **Content only** | Flexible | May be ambiguous | 75% |
+| **This multi-strategy approach** | Best balance | Slightly slower | **90%+** |
+
+---
+
+## Project Integration
+
+### Updating `versioned_pipeline.py`
+
+```python
+from ragflow_orchestrator.document_detector import (
+    UniversalDocumentDetector,
+    DocumentType,
+)
+
+class VersionedDocumentPipeline:
+    def __init__(self, ...):
+        self.detector = UniversalDocumentDetector(enable_ocr=True)
+
+    def ingest_document(self, file_path, text=None, document_type=None, ...):
+        if document_type is None:
+            with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
+                file_data = f.read()
+
+            detection = self.detector.detect(
+                file_path=file_path,
+                file_data=file_data,
+            )
+
+            document_type = self._map_detected_type(detection.document_type)
+
+        # Continue processing...
+```
+
+---
+
+## Roadmap
+

+## Usage Checklist
+
+- [ ] Import `UniversalDocumentDetector` or `detect_document_type()`
+- [ ] Use `detect_document_type()` for single-file workflows
+- [ ] Use `batch_detect_documents()` for folders
+- [ ] Use `detect_pdf_type()` with `enable_ocr=True` for PDFs
+- [ ] Validate `detection.confidence`
+- [ ] Log `detection.source`
+- [ ] Pass `file_data` for higher accuracy
+- [ ] Handle file-read exceptions
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Use in production** — integrate `document_detector.py` into your workflow.
+2. **Integrate with pipeline** — add detector calls in `VersionedDocumentPipeline.ingest_document()`.
+3. **Run tests** — verify with `pytest tests/test_document_detector.py`.
+4. **Customize mappings** — adjust `_EXTENSION_MAP` and `_MIME_TYPE_MAP` as needed.
+5. **Add logging** — track `detection.source` and `detection.confidence`.
+

+## Key Updates
+
+- Storage architecture is PostgreSQL + Qdrant only.
+- New combined provider: `postgres+qdrant` (PostgreSQL metadata + Qdrant vectors).
+- Adaptive document pipeline supports semantic subtype classification with hybrid scoring:
+  - rules-based scoring
+  - optional LLM scoring (`ollama` or `openai_compat`)
+  - weighted merge and confidence threshold fallback
+- Document subtype is persisted in PostgreSQL metadata (`documents`, `document_versions`) and propagated into chunk metadata/tags.
+- Added infrastructure compose files for local development:
+  - `docker-compose.postgres.yml`
+  - `docker-compose.qdrant.yml`
+  - `docker-compose.infra.yml`
+
 ## Goals
 
-- One internal chunk contract across all vector stores.
-- Pluggable providers for Qdrant, PGVector, and SQLite+vec style workflows.
+- One internal chunk contract across vector stores.
 - Standardized ingestion pipeline: cleaning -> chunking -> embedding -> upsert.
-- Adaptive document pipeline: document detection -> normalization -> AST/linear chunking -> embedding -> upsert.
-- Standardized retrieval APIs with semantic/hybrid strategies.
+- Adaptive document pipeline: detection -> normalization -> strategy-aware chunking.
+- Standard retrieval APIs with semantic/hybrid strategies.
 - First-class interoperability with PromptOrchestrator pipelines.
-- Extensible migration framework (Alembic-like, provider-agnostic state tracking).
-- Quantitative quality checks for chunks and retrieval performance.
-
-## Core Data Model
-
-`BaseChunk` is the canonical internal model:
-
-- `id`: unique chunk id
-- `vector`: embedding vector
-- `text`: original chunk text
-- `metadata`: flexible JSON metadata
-- `source_id`: source document id
-- `chunk_index`: chunk order in source
-- `created_at`: ingestion timestamp
-- `kind`, `version`, `is_deleted`: lifecycle and typing helpers
-- `semantic_type`: inferred semantic class (`code`, `api`, `table`, `log`, `narrative`, ...)
-- `quality_score`: normalized chunk quality score (0..1)
-- `token_count`: token estimate used for retrieval/rerank decisions
-- `source_type`, `domain`: source routing and filtering attributes
-- `risk_score`: lightweight content risk signal (0..1)
-- `embedding_model`: model/provider name used for embedding
-
-Extended chunk types are supported (`CodeChunk`, `ContractChunk`) and custom models can be added via Pydantic inheritance.
-
-## Architecture
-
-- `models.py`: canonical chunk/query/result models.
-- `standards.py`: typed metadata standards for code/table/pdf/html/word/mixed.
-- `protocols.py`: abstraction contracts (`RAGProvider`, `Chunker`, `Embedder`, `Cleaner`).
-- `adapters/`: DB-specific provider implementations.
-- `chunking/`, `cleaning/`, `embedding/`: pipeline strategy modules.
-- `document_pipeline.py`: document type detection, normalization, and adaptive chunk routing.
-- `retrieval/`: retrieval strategies (semantic/hybrid).
-- `migrations/`: versioned migration manager.
-- `migrations/schema_evolution.py`: SQL generation helpers for add/drop/rename field workflows.
-- `quality/`: chunk/retrieval quality metrics.
-- `orchestrator.py`: high-level API.
+- Extensible migration framework and quality evaluation utilities.
 
 ## Providers
 
-- `SQLiteVecProvider`: local SQLite with JSON vector storage + cosine fallback.
-- `QdrantProvider`: native Qdrant integration.
-- `PGVectorProvider`: PostgreSQL + pgvector integration.
-
-## Document Pipeline
-
-The default document preset now routes content by detected type instead of relying only on a static preset.
-
-- Structured sources such as Markdown, HTML, DOCX, XLSX, JSON, XML, and CSV are normalized into structure-preserving text and chunked with an AST/heading-aware strategy when possible.
-- PDF and plain text fall back to linear chunking.
-- Code still uses AST-based Python chunking.
-- Document type detection is lazy-loaded and can use `filetype`, `python-magic`, extension hints, and HTTP `Content-Type` headers.
-
-Supported document types: `pdf`, `docx`, `xlsx`, `html`, `markdown`, `json`, `xml`, `csv`, `txt`, `code`, `unsupported`.
-
-For richer Markdown chunking install the optional document extras:
-
-```powershell
-pip install -e .[document]
-```
-
-## Production Embeddings (Ollama)
-
-Use local Ollama embeddings in production mode:
-
-```python
-from ragflow_orchestrator.embedding import OllamaEmbedder
-
-embedder = OllamaEmbedder(model="nomic-embed-text:latest")
-print(embedder.dimensions)
-```
-
-Provider and model are configurable via settings; no provider is hardwired in orchestrator factory.
-
-```python
-from ragflow_orchestrator import (
-    ConfigStore,
-    EmbeddingConfig,
-    ModuleConfig,
-    PipelineConfig,
-    PromptStyleRAGProviderAdapter,
-    ProviderConfig,
-    RAGOrchestratorFactory,
-)
+Supported provider kinds in `create_provider`:
 
-store = ConfigStore(
-    ModuleConfig(
-        provider=ProviderConfig(kind="sqlite+vec", params={"db_path": "rag.db", "table_name": "rag_chunks"}),
-        embedding=EmbeddingConfig(
-            provider="ollama",                  # switch provider here

-- semantic + reranker (pluggable)
-
-Available retrieval/rerank components:
-
-- `SemanticRetriever`
-- `HybridRetriever`
-- `MetadataAwareHybridRetriever`
-- `AdaptiveRetriever`
-- `CosineReranker`
-- `WeightedSignalReranker`
-- `HFReranker`
-- `OllamaReranker`
-
-Dual profile comparison (cosine rerank vs Ollama LLM rerank) is available via [examples/evaluate_retrieval.py](examples/evaluate_retrieval.py).
-
-- `cosine_profile`: semantic/hybrid + cosine rerank
-- `ollama_profile`: semantic/hybrid + Ollama LLM rerank
-
-To force a specific Ollama rerank model, set `RAG_RERANK_MODEL`.
-
-The report returns precision@k, recall@k and MRR for each strategy.

-## Publishing to PyPI and GitHub
-
-This repository is configured to publish the distribution name `ragflow_orchestrator`.
-
-Import path stays the same:
-
-```python
-import ragflow_orchestrator
-```
-
-Install from PyPI:
-
-```bash
-pip install ragflow_orchestrator
-```
-
-If you plan to use provider-specific backends, install extras:
-
-```bash
-pip install "ragflow_orchestrator[qdrant]"
-pip install "ragflow_orchestrator[pgvector]"
-pip install "ragflow_orchestrator[otel]"
-```
-
-What each extra installs:
-
-- `qdrant`: `qdrant-client>=1.9`
-- `pgvector`: `sqlalchemy>=2.0`, `psycopg[binary]>=3.1`, `pgvector>=0.3`
-- `otel`: `opentelemetry-api`, `opentelemetry-sdk`, `opentelemetry-exporter-otlp`
-
-## Optional OpenTelemetry + SigNoz
-
-OpenTelemetry is optional. By default, RagflowOrchestrator works without any telemetry dependencies.
-RagflowOrchestrator also works when OpenTelemetry packages are not installed at all (no `opentelemetry-*` modules in the environment).
-
-SigNoz is expected to run separately (for example, official SigNoz Docker deployment on `http://localhost:8080`).
-
-Enable OTel (host runtime):
-
-```bash
-ENABLE_OTEL=true
-OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=localhost:4317
-OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=ragflow-orchestrator
-OTEL_SERVICE_NAMESPACE=prompt-stack
-OTEL_DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT=dev
-```
-
-Run local OTel Collector (1 additional container):
-
-```bash
-docker compose -f docker-compose.otel.yml up -d
-```
-
-Disable OTel (host runtime):
-
-```bash
-ENABLE_OTEL=false
-```
-
-Stop local OTel Collector:
-
-```bash
-docker compose -f docker-compose.otel.yml down
-```
-
-Files used:
-
-- `docker-compose.otel.yml`
-- `observability/otel-collector-config.yaml`
-
-Default endpoints:
-
-- SigNoz UI (external): `http://localhost:8080`

-
-### Local preflight before release
-
-```bash
-python -c "import shutil; [shutil.rmtree(p, ignore_errors=True) for p in ('dist','build')]"
-python -m pip install --upgrade pip
-python -m pip install build twine
-python -m build
-python -m twine check dist/*
-```
-
-### GitHub + PyPI release flow
-
-1. Create a PyPI project named `rag-orchestrator` (PyPI normalizes `_` to `-`).
-2. In GitHub repo settings:
-    - Enable GitHub Actions for the repo.
-3. In PyPI project settings, configure Trusted Publishing:
-    - Owner: your GitHub org/user.
-    - Repository: this repository.
-    - Workflow: `publish.yml`.
-    - Environment: `pypi`.
-4. Ensure auto-tag workflow is enabled:
-
-- [.github/workflows/auto-tag-from-version.yml](.github/workflows/auto-tag-from-version.yml)
-- it watches `pyproject.toml`, reads `[project].version`, and creates `<version>` tag automatically.
-
-5. Bump version in `pyproject.toml` and push to default branch.
-
-6. Publish only selected version manually (recommended way with tag chooser):
-
-- open GitHub `Releases` -> `Draft a new release`
-- in `Choose a tag`, select existing tag (for example `0.1.3`)
-- click `Publish release`
-- workflow [.github/workflows/publish.yml](.github/workflows/publish.yml) starts automatically on `release.published`
-
-The workflow validates that selected tag matches `[project].version` in `pyproject.toml` for that tag and only then publishes to PyPI.
-
-Manual fallback is still available via `workflow_dispatch` input `release_tag`.
-
-The workflow [.github/workflows/publish.yml](.github/workflows/publish.yml) will:
-
-- build sdist and wheel
-- verify metadata with Twine
-- publish to PyPI using OIDC Trusted Publishing
-- run for selected tag from release event (or manual fallback via `workflow_dispatch`)
-
-## PromptOrchestrator Interoperability
-
-RagOrchestrator can be used as a retrieval backend for PromptOrchestrator flows.
-
-PromptOrchestrator: [https://github.com/VeryComplexAndLongName/PromptOrchestrator](https://github.com/VeryComplexAndLongName/PromptOrchestrator)
-
-How integration works:
-
-- RagOrchestrator keeps ingestion/storage concerns (`clean -> chunk -> embed -> upsert`).
-- PromptOrchestrator consumes ready context via `retrieve(query, limit)`.
-- `PromptStyleRAGProviderAdapter` bridges native retrieval output to `DocChunk` contract.
-
-Compatibility building blocks:
-
-- `DocChunk` model in [src/ragflow_orchestrator/context.py](src/ragflow_orchestrator/context.py)
-- abstract `RAGProvider` in [src/ragflow_orchestrator/rag/base.py](src/ragflow_orchestrator/rag/base.py)
-- `PromptStyleRAGProviderAdapter` bridge in [src/ragflow_orchestrator/rag/compat.py](src/ragflow_orchestrator/rag/compat.py)
-
-This keeps ragflow_orchestrator internals storage-oriented while exposing prompt_orchestrator-style `retrieve(query, limit)` contract where needed.

-## Ingestion Templates (Preset Scenarios)
+Services:
 
-Ready-to-run templates are available to minimize user input:
-
-- `WebCrawlTemplate`: crawl sites by URL list + depth, extract text from HTML, clean/chunk/embed, and ingest.
-- `DocumentFolderTemplate`: scan folders for `.docx`, `.pdf`, `.xlsx`, `.txt`, `.md`, `.html`, extract and ingest.
-- `ConfluenceWikiTemplate`: ingest Confluence pages by space keys or explicit page ids.
-- `JiraTemplate`: ingest Jira issues by JQL (with comments support).
-- `APIReferenceTemplate`: ingest OpenAPI/Swagger specs from file or URL.
-- `BitrixTemplate`: ingest Bitrix24 CRM entities (contacts, companies, deals, leads, tasks, activities, optional IM dialogs).
-- `PyPITemplate`: ingest PyPI package metadata, release history, and project URLs.
-- `GitHubTemplate`: ingest public GitHub repositories by owner, enrich with contributors and README, and persist repository graph.
-- `GitLabTemplate`: ingest public GitLab repositories/groups, enrich with contributors and README, and persist repository graph.
-- `RepoCodeTemplate`: scan code repositories and ingest source files with repo-specific metadata.
-- `EmailTicketTemplate`: ingest support tickets from `.eml`, `.jsonl`, `.csv`, `.txt`, `.md`.
-- `IncrementalSyncTemplate`: ingest only changed files using a sync state file.
-
-List installed templates programmatically:
-
-```python
-from ragflow_orchestrator import list_installed_templates
-
-for item in list_installed_templates():
-    print(f"{item['name']}: {item['description']}")
-```
-
-Return format:
-
-```python
-[
-    {"name": "document_folder", "description": "Ingests local documents from configured folders by extension filters."},
-    {"name": "web_crawl", "description": "Ingests website pages by crawling seed URLs with depth and domain controls."},
-    # ... only templates that are importable in the current environment
-]
-```

-| `api_reference` | `APIReferenceTemplate` |
-| `bitrix` | `BitrixTemplate` |
-| `confluence_wiki` | `ConfluenceWikiTemplate` |
-| `document_folder` | `DocumentFolderTemplate` |
-| `email_ticket` | `EmailTicketTemplate` |

-Demo runners (one script per template):
-
-- `scripts/webcrawl_demo/run.py` -> `WebCrawlTemplate`
-- `scripts/doc_demo/run.py` -> `DocumentFolderTemplate`
-- `scripts/confluence_demo/run.py` -> `ConfluenceWikiTemplate`
-- `scripts/jira_demo/run.py` -> `JiraTemplate`
-- `scripts/api_demo/run.py` -> `APIReferenceTemplate`
-- `scripts/pypi_demo/run.py` -> `PyPITemplate`
-- `scripts/github_demo/run.py` -> `GitHubTemplate`
-- `scripts/gitlab_demo/run.py` -> `GitLabTemplate`
-- `scripts/repocode_demo/run.py` -> `RepoCodeTemplate`
-- `scripts/email_demo/run.py` -> `EmailTicketTemplate`
-- `scripts/incremental_demo/run.py` -> `IncrementalSyncTemplate`
-
-Each demo supports the same execution pattern:
-
-- ingest (default)
-- single question mode: `--ask`
-- interactive mode: `--interactive`
-- query-only mode: `--skip-ingest`
-- basic timing report: `--perf`
-
-Duplicate control:
-
-- Deduplication is enforced in `RAGOrchestrator.ingest` for all templates.
-- Duplicate chunk text is fingerprinted and skipped before writing to vector DB.
-- Dedup fingerprints are persisted in a sidecar SQLite store (`*.dedup.sqlite`).
-
-## Local Generated SQLite Files
-
-The following files are local runtime artifacts generated by examples/templates and are safe to remove:
-
-- `.rag_dedup.sqlite`: dedup fingerprint store used by `RAGOrchestrator.ingest`.
-- `.rag_graph.sqlite`: default graph DB for repository/contributor relations (`SqlGraphStore`).
-- `eval_demo.db`: local SQLite+vec DB used by `examples/evaluate_retrieval.py`.
-- `example_rag.db`: local SQLite+vec DB used by `examples/basic_usage.py`.
-
-These files are recreated automatically on the next run of corresponding examples/templates.
-
-Repository graph analytics:
-
-- Repository and contributor graph is stored in SQLite (`graph_store.db_path`).
-- Supported analytics out of the box:
-    - find repositories by keyword/topic
-    - count contributors for repository
-    - find most popular repository (stars/forks)
-- Query helper script:
+### 2) Qdrant only
 
 ```bash
-python scripts/query_repo_graph.py --db rag_graph.sqlite search telegram
-python scripts/query_repo_graph.py --db rag_graph.sqlite contributors microsoft/vscode
-python scripts/query_repo_graph.py --db rag_graph.sqlite popular
+docker compose -f docker-compose.qdrant.yml up -d
 ```
 
-Language handling modes:
-
-- `auto`: automatic heuristic detection (`ru` / `en` / `mixed`)
-- `force_ru`
-- `force_en`
-- `mixed`
-
-Quick example:
-
-```python
-from ragflow_orchestrator import (
-    DocumentFolderConfig,
-    DocumentFolderTemplate,
-    HashEmbedder,
-    LanguageMode,
-    RAGOrchestrator,
-    WebCrawlConfig,
-    WebCrawlTemplate,
-    create_provider,
-    document_preset,
-)
-
-provider = create_provider("sqlite+vec", db_path="rag.db", table_name="rag_chunks")
-preset = document_preset()
+Service:
 
-orchestrator = RAGOrchestrator(
-    provider=provider,
-    embedder=HashEmbedder(dimensions=128),
-    chunker=preset.chunker,
-    cleaner=preset.cleaner,
-)
-
-web_report = WebCrawlTemplate(orchestrator).run(
-    WebCrawlConfig(urls=["https://example.com"], max_depth=1, language_mode=LanguageMode.AUTO)
-)
-
-file_report = DocumentFolderTemplate(orchestrator).run(
-    DocumentFolderConfig(folders=["docs"], recursive=True, language_mode=LanguageMode.AUTO)
-)

-## templates.json (No Code Changes)
-
-You can switch scenarios by editing `templates.json` only.
-
-Run:
+### 3) Full infrastructure (recommended)
 
 ```bash
-python scripts/run_template.py templates.json
+docker compose -f docker-compose.infra.yml up -d
 ```
 
-Runtime reporting:
-
-- Template run report now includes `run_metrics`:
-    - `total_duration_ms`
-    - `total_chunks`
-    - `duplicate_chunks_skipped`
-    - `chunks_per_second`
-- This is computed from already-available counters plus one `perf_counter` measurement, so default overhead is minimal.
-- Optional quality evaluation is controlled by `evaluation.enabled` and is disabled by default.
-- Append-only experiment log is controlled by `experiment_log.enabled` and is enabled by default.
-- Default experiment DB path: `loadtest/experiments.sqlite`.
-
-Switch scenario by changing only:
-
-- `active_scenario`: `web_crawl` | `document_folder` | `confluence_wiki` | `jira` | `api_reference` | `bitrix` | `pypi` | `github` | `gitlab` | `repo_code` | `email_ticket` | `incremental_sync`

-## RAG Query Interface
-
-`RAGQueryEngine` provides a unified interface for querying indexed knowledge:
+Services:
 
-- `retrieve(question, top_k, filters)` returns retrieval hits.
-- `answer(question, top_k, filters)` returns answer + used context.
+- `postgres`
+- `pgadmin`
+- `qdrant`
 
-If no generator is configured, it returns a deterministic context-based fallback answer.
-You can plug in any LLM adapter (including prompt_orchestrator-based prompt construction) via `AnswerGenerator`.
+## OpenTelemetry (Optional)
 
-```python
-from ragflow_orchestrator.query_engine import RAGQueryEngine
-
-engine = RAGQueryEngine(orchestrator)
-result = engine.answer("Найди репозитории для Telegram-ботов", top_k=5)
-print(result.answer)
-```
-
-You can scope query to specific source types (for example: `confluence`, `jira`, `repo_code`, `web_crawl`):
-
-```python
-result = engine.answer_from_sources(
-        question="Какие инциденты связаны с оплатой?",
-        source_types=["confluence", "jira"],
-        top_k=8,
-)
-print(result.answer)
-```
-
-## Load Testing Across Databases
-
-Use built-in benchmark script to compare `sqlite+vec`, `pgvector`, and `qdrant`:
+Enable local collector:
 
 ```bash
-python scripts/load_test_backends.py \
-    --providers sqlite+vec pgvector qdrant \
-    --documents 500 \
-    --queries 800 \
-    --concurrency 8 \
-    --dimensions 256 \
-    --pg-dsn "postgresql+psycopg://postgres:N0th1ing@localhost:5432/app" \
-    --qdrant-url "http://localhost:6333" \
-    --json-out loadtest/load_test_results.json
+docker compose -f docker-compose.otel.yml up -d
 ```
 
-What you get:
-
-- ingest throughput (`docs/s`)
-- search throughput (`QPS`)
-- latency percentiles (`p50/p95/p99`)
-- JSON report for trend tracking (default: `loadtest/load_test_results.json`)
-
-## Profiling Bottlenecks
-
-Use cProfile-based script to detect hot functions in ingestion/retrieval pipeline:
+Files:
 
-```bash
-python scripts/profile_hotspots.py \
-    --provider sqlite+vec \
-    --documents 300 \
-    --queries 500 \
-    --out loadtest/profile_hotspots.txt
-```
+- `docker-compose.otel.yml`
+- `observability/otel-collector-config.yaml`
+- `observability/signoz-dashboard-ragflow.yaml`
 
-For PGVector and Qdrant, switch provider and pass connection parameters:
+## Installation
 
 ```bash
-python scripts/profile_hotspots.py --provider pgvector --pg-dsn "postgresql+psycopg://postgres:N0th1ing@localhost:5432/app"
-python scripts/profile_hotspots.py --provider qdrant --qdrant-url "http://localhost:6333"
+pip install -e .
 ```
 
-## Optional Hugging Face Layer (Embeddings + Rerank)
-
-Hugging Face providers are optional and are not required for the base install.
-
-- `HFEmbedder` supports sentence-transformers models (including e5/bge families by model name).
-- `HFReranker` supports cross-encoder rerank models.
-
-Install only when needed:
+Optional extras:
 
 ```bash
+pip install -e .[qdrant]
+pip install -e .[pgvector]
 pip install -e .[hf]
+pip install -e .[all]
 ```
 
-Run baseline vs HF comparison on the built-in retrieval dataset:
-
-```bash
-python scripts/compare_baseline_vs_hf.py \
-    --dataset datasets/retrieval_eval.jsonl \
-    --top-k 2 \
-    --loops 100 \
-    --hf-embedder-model sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 \
-    --hf-reranker-model cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2 \
-    --json-out loadtest/compare_baseline_vs_hf.json
-```
-
-Compare experiment trends from template runs:
-
-```bash
-python scripts/compare_experiment_trends.py --db loadtest/experiments.sqlite --group-by scenario --metric chunks_per_second
-python scripts/compare_experiment_trends.py --db loadtest/experiments.sqlite --group-by strategy_name --metric ndcg_at_k
-```
-
-Metrics produced:
-
-- quality: `precision@k`, `recall@k`, `MRR`, `nDCG@k`
-- performance: `p50/p95 latency`, `throughput (QPS)`
-- memory: `RAM MB`, `VRAM MB` (0 when CUDA is unavailable)
-
-### Baseline vs HF Results

+## Introduction
+
+RAG Orchestrator is a document management system with support for:
+
+- **Versioning**: Track document changes while preserving full history.
+- **Access control (ACL)**: Manage permissions at document level.
+- **Classification**: Apply automatic and manual tags.
+- **Normative document parsing**: Parse GOST/SP/SNiP-style documents while preserving hierarchy.
+- **Full-text retrieval**: Vector and BM25 retrieval with Qdrant.
+- **Scalability**: PostgreSQL for metadata and Qdrant for vectors.
+

+           SentenceTransformer('intfloat/multilingual-e5-large')"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Core Components
+
+### PostgresMetadataBackend
+
+PostgreSQL metadata lifecycle management.
+
+```python
+from ragflow_orchestrator.adapters import PostgresMetadataBackend
+
+backend = PostgresMetadataBackend(dsn="postgresql://...")
+
+# Documents
+doc_id = backend.create_document(
+    source_type="file",
+    document_type="pdf",
+    title="Document Title",
+    doc_number="DOC-001",
+    language="ru",
+    domain="regulations",
+)
+
+# Versions
+version_id = backend.create_version(
+    document_id=doc_id,
+    file_path="/path/to/file.pdf",
+    content_hash="sha256...",
+    ingestion_reason="Initial upload",
+)
+
+# Tags
+backend.add_document_tag(doc_id, "important")
+backend.add_version_tag(version_id, "v1.0")
+
+# ACL
+backend.add_acl(doc_id, principal_type="role", principal_id="engineering")
+
+# Logs
+backend.log_ingestion_stage(version_id, "parsing", "ok")
+```
+
+### PostgresQdrantProvider
+
+Combined PostgreSQL + Qdrant provider.
+
+```python
+from ragflow_orchestrator.factory import create_provider
+
+provider = create_provider(
+    kind="postgres+qdrant",
+    dsn="postgresql://...",
+    qdrant_url="http://localhost:6333",
+    qdrant_collection="documents",
+)
+
+provider.ensure_schema(vector_dim=768)
+provider.upsert_chunks(chunks)
+results = provider.retrieve(query)
+provider.update_acl_by_document(doc_id, is_restricted=True, principals=[...])
+```
+
+### AclSync
+
+ACL synchronization between PostgreSQL and Qdrant.
+
+```python
+from ragflow_orchestrator.adapters import AclSync
+
+acl = AclSync(dsn="postgresql://...", provider=provider)
+
+# Grant access
+acl.grant(doc_id, principal_id="user1", principal_type="user")
+
+# Replace full principal set
+acl.set_principals(doc_id, principals=["role1", "role2"])
+
+# Open access for everyone
+acl.set_principals(doc_id, principals=[])
+
+# Force resync
+acl.resync(doc_id)
+```
+
+### NormativeChunker
+
+Specialized parser for regulatory/normative documents.
+
+```python
+from ragflow_orchestrator.cleaning.normative_parser import (
+    parse_normative_pdf,
+    parse_normative_text,
+)
+
+# Parse from PDF
+chunks = parse_normative_pdf(
+    pdf_path="/path/to/gost.pdf",
+    doc_id="doc_uuid",
+    doc_title="GOST 27751-2014",
+)
+
+# Parse from plain text
+chunks = parse_normative_text(
+    text="1. Scope...",
+    doc_id="doc_uuid",
+)
+
+for chunk in chunks:
+    print(f"Clause: {chunk.clause_path}")
+    print(f"Standard: {chunk.standard_ref}")
+    print(f"Section: {chunk.section}")
+    print(f"Page: {chunk.page}")
+    print(f"Source: {chunk.source}")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Example 1: Ingest and Index Documents
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+from ragflow_orchestrator.document_pipeline import DocumentType
+
+docs_dir = Path("/data/regulations")
+
+for pdf_file in docs_dir.glob("*.pdf"):
+    with open(pdf_file, "rb") as f:
+        text = extract_text_from_pdf(f)  # Your extractor
+
+    result = pipeline.ingest_document(
+        file_path=pdf_file,
+        text=text,
+        document_type=DocumentType.PDF,
+        title=pdf_file.stem,
+        auto_tags=["pdf", "regulations"],
+    )
+
+    if result["status"] == "success":
+        print(f"Loaded: {pdf_file.name}")
+        print(f"  Document ID: {result['document_id']}")
+        print(f"  Chunks: {result['chunks_count']}")
+    else:
+        print(f"Error: {result['error']}")
+```
+
+### Example 2: Search with ACL
+
+```python
+from ragflow_orchestrator.models import RetrievalQuery
+
+user_roles = ["engineering", "management"]
+
+results = provider.retrieve(
+    RetrievalQuery(
+        text_query="system reliability",
+        top_k=10,
+        dense_vector=embedder.encode("system reliability").tolist(),
+        acl_principals=user_roles,
+    )
+)
+
+for i, result in enumerate(results, 1):
+    print(f"\n{i}. Score: {result.score:.3f}")
+    print(f"   Document: {result.chunk.document_id}")
+    print(f"   Section: {result.chunk.metadata.get('section', 'N/A')}")
+    print(f"   Text: {result.chunk.text[:200]}...")
+```
+
+### Example 3: Version Management
+
+```python
+with open("updated_regulations.pdf", "rb") as f:
+    new_text = extract_text(f)
+
+result = pipeline.ingest_document(
+    file_path="updated_regulations.pdf",
+    text=new_text,
+    title="GOST 27751-2014",
+    ingestion_reason="Updated with latest amendments",
+    auto_tags=["amendment", "v2.1"],
+)
+
+if result["status"] == "success":
+    version_id = result["version_id"]
+    print(f"New version: {version_id}")
+```
+
+### Example 4: Access Control Management
+
+```python
+from ragflow_orchestrator.adapters import AclSync
+
+acl = AclSync(dsn=dsn, provider=provider)
+
+# Restrict access
+doc_id = "..."
+acl.set_principals(doc_id, principals=["engineering", "management"])
+
+# Open for everyone
+acl.set_principals(doc_id, principals=[])
+
+# Grant access to a new role
+acl.grant(doc_id, principal_id="audit", principal_type="role")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Document Management
+
+### Document Lifecycle
+
+```
+1. CREATION
+   └─ create_document()
+      └─ document_id (UUID)
+
+2. VERSIONING
+   ├─ create_version()
+   ├─ content_hash (change detection)
+   └─ version_id (UUID)
+
+3. INGESTION
+   ├─ Parse text
+   ├─ Chunk document
+   ├─ Embed chunks
+   ├─ Store in PostgreSQL and Qdrant
+   └─ Log progress
+
+4. CLASSIFICATION
+   ├─ Auto tags (file/type based)
+   └─ Manual tags (policy/user based)
+
+5. AUTHORIZATION
+   ├─ ACL configuration
+   └─ ACL projection to Qdrant
+
+6. SEARCH & RETRIEVAL
+   ├─ Vector search in Qdrant
+   ├─ ACL filtering
+   └─ Return authorized results
+
+7. UPDATES
+   ├─ Detect changes (content_hash)
+   ├─ Create new version
+   └─ Keep history for audit
+```
+
+### Change Detection
+
+```python
+# RAG Orchestrator automatically:
+# 1) computes content hash (SHA256)
+# 2) compares with existing versions
+# 3) skips duplicates
+# 4) creates a new version only if content changed
+
+content_hash = PostgresMetadataBackend.compute_content_hash(text)
+source_hash = PostgresMetadataBackend.compute_source_hash((size, mtime))
+```
+
+---
+
+## Versioning and ACL
+
+### Versioning
+
+```python
+# Each version stores:
+# - version_number: incrementing integer
+# - content_hash: SHA256 of content
+# - source_hash: hash from file metadata (size/mtime)
+# - ingestion_status: pending | ingesting | ready | failed
+# - ingestion_reason: why this version was created
+# - is_active: only one active version per document
+
+# Old versions remain in DB for:
+# - audit/history
+# - rollback
+# - comparison/diff
+```
+
+### ACL (Access Control)
+
+```python
+# Policy: if there are no ACL entries, document is public.
+
+# ACL in PostgreSQL:
+# - document_id: UUID
+# - principal_type: role | user | group
+# - principal_id: principal identifier
+# - permission: read (extensible)
+
+# ACL projection in Qdrant payload:
+# - metadata.is_restricted: bool
+# - metadata.acl_principals: list[str]
+
+# During retrieval:
+# 1) Qdrant applies is_restricted/acl_principals filtering
+# 2) PostgreSQL can be used for final verification
+```

+
+## Normative Document Parsing
+
+### Features
+
+- Automatic PDF subtype detection (text-layer vs scanned).
+- OCR via PaddleOCR.
+- Hierarchy preservation (section -> clause -> sub-clause).
+- Standard extraction (GOST, SP, SNiP references).
+- Context enrichment for better embeddings.
+
+### Usage
+
+```python
+from ragflow_orchestrator.cleaning.normative_parser import parse_normative_pdf
+
+chunks = parse_normative_pdf(
+    pdf_path="/path/to/gost.pdf",
+    doc_id="doc_uuid",
+    doc_title="GOST 27751-2014",
+    text_threshold=100,
+    min_chunk_len=120,
+    max_chunk_len=1200,
+)
+
+for chunk in chunks:
+    print(f"ID: {chunk.id}")
+    print(f"Clause: {chunk.clause_path}")
+    print(f"Standard: {chunk.standard_ref}")
+    print(f"Section: {chunk.section}")
+    print(f"Page: {chunk.page}")
+    print(f"Source: {chunk.source}")
+    print(f"Text: {chunk.text}")
+```
+
+### Regex Patterns
+
+```python
+# Clause numbers
+CLAUSE_RE = r'^\s*((?:раздел\s+|п[ункт]?\s+)?(\d+(?:\.\d+){0,3}))[\.:]?\s+'
+
+# Standard references
+STD_RE = r'((?:ГОСТ\s+(?:Р\s+)?[\d\-\.]+|СП\s+[\d\.]+|СНиП\s+[\dIVX\-\.\*]+))'
+
+# Section headers
+SECTION_RE = r'^(\d+(?:\.\d+)?)\.\s+([А-ЯЁ][а-яё\s\-,\.]+)$'
+```

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Problem: PostgreSQL connection refused
+
+```python
+import psycopg
+
+try:
+    conn = psycopg.connect("postgresql://localhost/rag_db")
+    print("Connected!")
+    conn.close()
+except Exception as e:
+    print(f"Error: {e}")
+
+# Ensure service is running
+# sudo systemctl status postgresql
+```
+
+### Problem: Qdrant collection not found
+
+```python
+# Ensure collection is initialized
+provider.ensure_schema(vector_dim=768)
+
+# Or create collection manually
+import requests
+requests.post("http://localhost:6333/collections", json={
+    "name": "documents",
+    "vectors": {
+        "size": 768,
+        "distance": "Cosine"
+    }
+})
+```
+
+### Problem: OCR not working
+
+```bash
+pip install paddleocr
+python -c "from paddleocr import PaddleOCR; PaddleOCR(lang='ru')"
+```
+
+### Problem: Migrations fail
+
+```python
+from sqlalchemy import create_engine
+
+engine = create_engine("postgresql://localhost/rag_db")
+engine.execute("SELECT 1")
+
+from ragflow_orchestrator.migrations import run_postgres_migrations
+try:
+    run_postgres_migrations(dsn)
+except Exception as e:
+    print(f"Migration error: {e}")
+    import traceback
+    traceback.print_exc()
+```
+
+### Ingestion Debugging
+
+```python
+import logging
+
+logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
+logger = logging.getLogger("ragflow_orchestrator")
+logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
+
+result = pipeline.ingest_document(...)
+if result["status"] == "failed":
+    print(f"Error: {result['error']}")
+
+logs = backend.get_ingestion_logs(version_id)
+for log in logs:
+    print(f"{log['stage']}: {log['status']}")
+    if log['error_message']:
+        print(f"  Error: {log['error_message']}")

+Supports detection of:
+- Office documents: docx, xlsx, pptx, odt
+- Text formats: txt, md, csv, json, xml, html
+- Code: py, js, ts, java, go, c++, rust, etc.
+- PDF: with text_layer vs scan classification
+- Others: yaml, toml, etc.

+Detection strategy (ordered by reliability):
+1. Magic bytes (binary signature)
+2. File extension
+3. MIME type (via python-magic if available)
+4. Content heuristics
