## Detection Architecture

### 5-Layer Strategy

```
1. Magic Bytes (binary signature) [95%+ confidence]
└─ analyzes the first bytes of a file

2. File Extension [85%+ confidence]
└─ fast extension-based classification

3. MIME Type (python-magic) [90%+ confidence]
└─ MIME detection from file content

4. Content Heuristics [75-95% confidence]
└─ structural text pattern analysis

5. Fallback (default) [50% confidence]
└─ returns TXT or UNSUPPORTED
```

### PDF Sub-classification

Additional PDF subtype classification:
- **pdf_text**: PDF with text layer -> direct text extraction
- **pdf_scan**: scanned PDF -> OCR required

---

## Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
from ragflow_orchestrator.document_detector import detect_document_type
from pathlib import Path

# One-liner
detection = detect_document_type(file_path=Path("document.pdf"))

print(f"Type: {detection.document_type}")
print(f"Confidence: {detection.confidence}")
print(f"Source: {detection.source}")
```

### Reliable Detection with File Data

```python
from ragflow_orchestrator.document_detector import UniversalDocumentDetector

detector = UniversalDocumentDetector(enable_ocr=True)

with open("regulations.pdf", "rb") as f:
file_data = f.read()

detection = detector.detect(
file_path=Path("regulations.pdf"),
file_data=file_data,
)

if detection.confidence > 0.9:
process_as_type(detection.document_type)
else:
ask_user_for_confirmation()
```

### Batch Processing

```python
from ragflow_orchestrator.document_detector import batch_detect_documents

results = batch_detect_documents(
list(Path("documents").glob("*"))
)

by_type = {}
for file_path, detection in results.items():
doc_type = detection.document_type.value
if doc_type not in by_type:
by_type[doc_type] = []
by_type[doc_type].append(file_path)
```

## Usage Recommendations

### For a Single Document

```python
def process_single_document(file_path):
detector = UniversalDocumentDetector(enable_ocr=False)

with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
file_data = f.read()

detection = detector.detect(
file_path=file_path,
file_data=file_data,
)

if detection.confidence > 0.9:
route_to_handler(detection.document_type)
else:
print(f"Warning: Low confidence {detection.confidence}")
```

### For a Folder

```python
def process_folder(folder_path):
results = batch_detect_documents(
list(folder_path.glob("*"))
)

docs_by_type = {}
for file_path, detection in results.items():
doc_type = detection.document_type.value
if doc_type not in docs_by_type:
docs_by_type[doc_type] = []
docs_by_type[doc_type].append(file_path)

for doc_type, files in docs_by_type.items():
handler = get_handler_for_type(doc_type)
for file_path in files:
handler(file_path)
```

### For PDF with OCR

```python
def process_pdf_with_ocr(pdf_path):
detector = UniversalDocumentDetector(enable_ocr=True)

detection = detector.detect_pdf_subtype(pdf_path)

if detection.document_type == DocumentType.PDF_TEXT:
text = extract_text_layer(pdf_path)
else:
text = apply_ocr(pdf_path)

return text
```

### Integration with VersionedDocumentPipeline

```python
from ragflow_orchestrator.versioned_pipeline import VersionedDocumentPipeline
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...
```

- [ ] Detection result caching
- [ ] ML-based classification for ambiguous cases
- [ ] Rare format support (7z, rar, iso)
- [ ] Antivirus integration
- [ ] WebAssembly/browser version

## 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`.
