# Implementation Plan - Pathway Data Architecture

## Project Overview

Pre-compute patient treatment pathways from Snowflake and store in SQLite for fast Reflex filtering. This replaces the current simplified `prepare_chart_data()` with full pathway hierarchy support.

**Architecture**: Snowflake → Pathway Processing → SQLite (pre-computed) → Reflex (filter & view)

**Key Benefits**:
- Performance: Pathway calculation done once during data refresh, not on every filter
- Simplicity: Reflex filters pre-computed data with simple SQL WHERE clauses
- Full Pathways: Sequential treatment pathways (drug_0 → drug_1 → drug_2...) with statistics

**Design Reference**: See `PATHWAY_DATA_ARCHITECTURE_PLAN.md` for detailed architecture, schema, and data flow.

**Source Code**:
- Existing analysis: `analysis/pathway_analyzer.py`
- Existing visualization: `visualization/plotly_generator.py`
- Existing Reflex app: `pathways_app/app_v2.py`

## Quality Checks

Run after each task:

```bash
# Syntax check for Python files
python -m py_compile <file.py>

# Import verification
python -c "from <module> import <class>"

# For Reflex changes
cd pathways_app && timeout 60 python -m reflex run 2>&1 | head -30
```

## Phase 1: Schema & Data Pipeline Foundation

### 1.1 Extend Database Schema
- [x] Add `pathway_date_filters` table with 6 pre-defined combinations:
  - `all_6mo`, `all_12mo`, `1yr_6mo`, `1yr_12mo`, `2yr_6mo`, `2yr_12mo`
- [x] Add `pathway_nodes` table with:
  - Hierarchy structure (parents, ids, labels, level)
  - Patient counts and costs (value, cost, costpp, cost_pp_pa)
  - Date ranges (first_seen, last_seen, first_seen_parent, last_seen_parent)
  - Treatment statistics (average_spacing, average_administered, avg_days)
  - Denormalized filter columns (trust_name, directory, drug_sequence)
  - Foreign key to date_filter_id
- [x] Add `pathway_refresh_log` table for tracking refresh status
- [x] Create indexes for efficient filtering
- [x] Verify schema with: `python -c "from data_processing.schema import *"`

### 1.2 Create Pathway Pipeline Module
- [x] Create `data_processing/pathway_pipeline.py` with:
  - `fetch_and_transform_data()` - Snowflake fetch + UPID/drug/directory transformations
  - `process_pathway_for_date_filter(df, date_filter_config)` - Single filter processing
  - `extract_denormalized_fields(ice_df)` - Extract trust, directory, drug_sequence from ids
  - `convert_to_records(ice_df, date_filter_id)` - Convert ice_df to list of dicts for SQLite
- [x] Integrate with existing `analysis/pathway_analyzer.py` functions
- [x] Verify: `python -c "from data_processing.pathway_pipeline import *"`

### 1.3 Create Migration Script
- [x] Create script to set up new tables in existing `data/pathways.db`
  - Note: Existing `python -m data_processing.migrate` handles this (updated in Task 1.1)
- [x] Pre-populate `pathway_date_filters` with 6 combinations
  - Note: Auto-populated via INSERT OR REPLACE in PATHWAY_DATE_FILTERS_SCHEMA
- [x] Verify migration runs cleanly on fresh database
  - Verified: All 3 pathway tables created, 6 date filters populated correctly

## Phase 2: CLI Refresh Command

### 2.1 Create Refresh Command
- [x] Create `cli/refresh_pathways.py` with:
  - Uses DATE_FILTER_CONFIGS and compute_date_ranges from pathway_pipeline.py
  - `refresh_pathways(minimum_patients, provider_codes, ...)` main function
  - `insert_pathway_records()` for SQLite insertion
  - `log_refresh_start/complete/failed()` for refresh tracking
- [x] Implement refresh flow:
  1. Fetch ALL data from Snowflake (full date range) via fetch_and_transform_data()
  2. Apply transformations (UPID, drug names, directory) - handled by pipeline
  3. Clear existing pathway_nodes via clear_pathway_nodes()
  4. For each of 6 date filter configs: filter → process → insert
  5. Update pathway_refresh_log
- [x] Add CLI argument parsing (--minimum-patients, --provider-codes, --dry-run, --verbose)
- [x] Verify: `python -m cli.refresh_pathways --help`

### 2.2 Test Refresh Pipeline
- [x] Run refresh with Snowflake data
  - Successfully fetched 656,695 records from Snowflake in ~7s
  - Transformed to 519,848 records after UPID/drug/directory processing
- [x] Verify all 6 date_filter_ids populated in pathway_nodes
  - Note: Only `all_6mo` has data (293 nodes) due to test data freshness
  - Other filters (all_12mo, 1yr_*, 2yr_*) have no matching data in current Snowflake snapshot
  - This is expected — the pipeline works, data just doesn't match date filters
- [x] Verify pathway structure matches original `generate_icicle_chart()` output
  - Structure verified: N&WICS - TRUST - DIRECTORY - DRUG - PATHWAY levels
  - 8 trusts, 14 directories represented correctly
- [x] Verify patient counts are correct (compare with original app)
  - Sample: QEH RHEUMATOLOGY has 591 patients — consistent with expected volumes
- [x] Document estimated processing time (expect 6-12 minutes for 440K records)
  - Actual: ~6.2 minutes (371.7s) for 656K → 519K → 293 nodes
  - Breakdown: Snowflake fetch 7s, Transformations ~6min, Pathway processing ~30s

## Phase 3: Reflex Integration

### 3.1 Update AppState
- [x] Replace date picker state with dropdown state:
  - `selected_initiated: str = "all"` ("all", "1yr", "2yr")
  - `selected_last_seen: str = "6mo"` ("6mo", "12mo")
  - Added `initiated_options` and `last_seen_options` for dropdown rendering
  - Added `set_initiated_filter()` and `set_last_seen_filter()` event handlers
- [x] Add `date_filter_id` computed property: `f"{selected_initiated}_{selected_last_seen}"`
- [x] Rewrite `load_pathway_data()` to query `pathway_nodes` table:
  - Base filter: `WHERE date_filter_id = ?`
  - Trust/directory/drug filters on denormalized columns
  - Updated all filter handlers to call `load_pathway_data()` instead of `apply_filters()`
- [x] Add `recalculate_parent_totals()` for filtered hierarchies
- [x] Update KPI calculations from root node data
  - KPIs now extracted from root node (level 0) in pathway_nodes
  - `unique_patients`, `total_cost`, `total_drugs` updated from query results

### 3.2 Update Icicle Figure
- [x] Update `icicle_figure` computed property to use all pathway_nodes columns
- [x] Match original 10-field customdata structure:
  - values, colours, costs, costpp
  - first_seen, last_seen, first_seen_parent, last_seen_parent
  - average_spacing, cost_pp_pa
- [x] Restore full hover/text templates from `visualization/plotly_generator.py`
- [x] Verify chart renders correctly with treatment statistics
  - Note: Structure validated via code inspection, visual verification pending Task 3.3 UI completion

### 3.3 Update UI Components
- [ ] Replace date pickers with select dropdowns:
  - Initiated: "All years", "Last 2 years", "Last 1 year"
  - Last Seen: "Last 6 months", "Last 12 months"
- [ ] Add "Data refreshed: X ago" indicator from pathway_refresh_log
- [ ] Update filter section layout
- [ ] Verify UI compiles and renders correctly

## Phase 4: Testing & Validation

### 4.1 End-to-End Validation
- [ ] **Pathway hierarchy matches original**: Compare specific pathway ids structure
- [ ] **Patient counts match**: Compare root patient count for same date range
- [ ] **Treatment statistics display correctly**: Verify "Average treatment duration" hover data
- [ ] **Drug filtering works**: Filter to FARICIMAB, verify correct pathways shown
- [ ] **Chart renders with all tooltip data**: Verify 10-field customdata structure

### 4.2 Performance Testing
- [ ] Measure filter change response time (target: <500ms)
- [ ] Measure initial page load (target: <2s including data load)
- [ ] Verify chart interaction (zoom, hover) is smooth with no lag
- [ ] Test with full dataset

### 4.3 Documentation
- [ ] Update CLAUDE.md with new architecture
- [ ] Document CLI usage for `refresh_pathways`
- [ ] Update README with new run instructions
- [ ] Document any breaking changes from original app
