1# Acheron — AI agent & contributor guide
2
3Vendor-neutral project context, shared across AI coding tools. Cursor reads this
4file natively; Claude Code reads it via the `@AGENTS.md` import in `CLAUDE.md`.
5Tool-specific rules live in `.cursor/rules/` (Cursor, glob-scoped via `globs:`)
6and `.claude/rules/` (Claude Code, imported from `CLAUDE.md` so they load every
7session) — keep those mirrors in sync with each other and with this file.
8`ARCHITECTURE.md` is the authoritative design document.
9
10## What this is
11
12`acheron` is a Distributed Event Processing Platform. Write path:
13`POST /events` → bounded in-process `asyncio.Queue` → async worker →
14**MongoDB (source of truth)**. Elasticsearch is a **derived mirror**, populated
15strictly downstream from a Mongo outbox (`es_indexed` marker) by the `EsIndexer`.
16Redis caches the realtime stats summary.
17
18## Layering (keep these boundaries)
19
20- `app/api/` — HTTP only: translate request ↔ domain, map errors to status codes.
21- `app/ingestion/`, `app/worker/` — pipeline logic (enqueue, consume, index, rollup).
22- `app/storage/`, `app/cache/`, `app/queue/` — one backend per module.
23
24Business logic lives in services/stores, never in route handlers.
25
26## Store roles (do not blur)
27
28- **Mongo is authoritative.** If Mongo and ES disagree, Mongo wins.
29- **ES is best-effort and rebuildable** — never fail an authoritative write on it.
30- **Redis is a cache** — a Redis outage must degrade, never lose data.
31- The queue is **in-process and non-durable**; that constraint drives most
32 failure-mode and scaling reasoning. Don't design as if it were durable.
33
34## Conventions in brief (see the scoped rules for detail)
35
36- `from __future__ import annotations` atop every module; Google-style docstrings
37 (ruff `D`, pydocstyle google). Tunables live in `Settings`, not magic numbers.
38- Routes are thin; the events routes declare a Pydantic `response_model`
39 (`/health` and `/metrics` are intentionally exempt). Errors map to status
40 codes (Mongo→503, ES→502, queue full→429, shutdown→503).
41- Tests: pytest with `asyncio_mode=auto`; unit tests are hermetic, Docker-backed
42 tests are marked `integration` and deselected by default.
43
44## Docs are a first-class deliverable
45
46When you change behavior, update `ARCHITECTURE.md` and `README.md` in the same
47change. Code and docs must not drift — the architecture doc is graded.
