Description

Two related changes land the big-picture plan of alerting on vouchers with a smarter, cost-aware AI tier.

1. Bot webhook notifications (1edab2b)
Voucher alerts now go to a Discord bot server in addition to email. A new voucherbot/services/bot_notification/ module builds the same voucher payload the email uses and POSTs it to NOTIFICATION_BOT_SERVER_URL, authenticated with Authorization: Bearer <WEBHOOK_SECRET>. The pipeline sends the webhook immediately after the transactional email outbox is committed — for the same set of posts (NEW / POSSIBLE_MATCH only). The send is strictly best-effort: a webhook failure never fails the pipeline, never blocks the email, and never touches the DB transaction (post is already committed by then, so no premature-decision rollback risk).

2. AI model routing & reasoning escalation (62e6a9d)

  • Removed llama-3.3-70b-versatile from the Groq rotation.
  • Primary routing is now an even 50/50 split across openai/gpt-oss-20b and openai/gpt-oss-120b (replaced the old 33.33/33.33/33.33 three-way split).
  • qwen/qwen3.6-27b is a dedicated reasoning tier: any gpt-oss result with confidence < 0.6 is re-analyzed by qwen before the result is returned to the pipeline. The escalation is best-effort — if qwen is unavailable or fails, the original result is kept.
  • Qwen runs with a tuned profile (completion budget 2048, reasoning_effort=default, reasoning_format=hidden, forced JSON output, temp 0.6) that fixes the failed_generation 400 the old 1024-token budget caused.

DB safety: escalation completes inside analyze_post_batch, which resolves before the pipeline commits at pipeline.py:408 — so a post is never written to the DB with an un-escalated answer.

3. mypy strict compliance (bf054ce)
Adjusted the bot-notification tests to the repo's string-path patching convention and removed a non-existent registrations kwarg; uv run mypy voucherbot tests is clean.

Commits in this branch (all branched from latest main):

  • 1edab2b feat: send voucher alerts to bot webhook alongside email
  • 62e6a9d AI model update
  • bf054ce mypy test updates

Type of Change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • New source
  • Configuration / settings change
  • Database migration
  • Documentation update
  • Refactor (no functional change)
  • Other:

Affected Components

  • Scheduler / Dispatcher
  • HTTP Policy Layer (http_policy.py)
  • RSS Collector
  • Website Collector
  • Reddit Integration
  • AI Layer (Groq / Gemini)
  • Email Notifications
  • Database / Migrations

Testing

  • Ran pytest — all tests pass (371 passed)
  • Ran ruff check . && ruff format . — no lint errors
  • Ran uv run mypy voucherbot tests — clean
  • Ran python scripts/verify_sources.py — all sources resolve (if sources were added or modified)
  • Added unit tests for new business logic
    • tests/test_bot_notification.py — payload shape, null collapsing, auth header, skip-when-unconfigured, HTTP failure
    • tests/test_analyzer.py — 50/50 weighting, qwen params, escalation (routes low confidence, keeps high confidence, qwen unavailable, qwen fails)
  • Added integration tests using fixtures or recorded responses (no live network calls)
  • Mocked Reddit API client in all new tests
  • Mocked Groq / Gemini responses in all new tests

Migration

Not applicable — no schema changes.

Policy Checklist

Not applicable — no policy-sensitive files (http_policy.py, reddit/client.py, reddit/collector.py, scheduler.py) modified.

AI Layer Changes

  • Prompt changes have been tested against a representative sample of real posts
  • A before/after comparison is included below
  • The JSON parser handles partial responses gracefully after any schema changes

No prompt text changed. Provider routing and per-model params changed:

  • Before: 33.33/33.33/33.33 across gpt-oss-20b / gpt-oss-120b / llama-3.3-70b-versatile; llama ran with a 1024-token completion budget.
  • After: 50/50 across gpt-oss-20b / gpt-oss-120b; qwen is a reasoning re-analysis tier for gpt-oss results below 0.6 confidence, run with a 2048-token budget, hidden reasoning, forced JSON output, and Groq-recommended sampling (temp 0.6, top_p 0.95). This also addresses the Failed to validate JSON (failed_generation) 400 seen with the previous 1024 budget.

Additional Notes

  • New env vars: NOTIFICATION_BOT_SERVER_URL, WEBHOOK_SECRET (documented in .env.example and docs/details/configuration.md).
  • Qwen daily quotas (_GROQ_MODEL_TPM/TPD/RPD) track Groq's published limits (8K TPM / 200K TPD / 1K RPD), same profile as the gpt-oss models.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added optional bot webhook notifications for voucher alerts, including authenticated JSON payloads and notification tracking.
    • Added Qwen escalation for low-confidence AI analysis, with fallback handling for unavailable or failed requests.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved model routing and model-specific request parameters for more reliable analysis results.
    • Notification failures no longer interrupt email delivery or pipeline processing.
  • Documentation
    • Documented webhook configuration, authentication, payload behavior, and updated AI model routing.

- add bot_notification service with build_voucher_payload and
  send_bot_notification (Bearer-auth webhook POST)
- wire send_bot_notification into ingestion pipeline after email
  delivery for NEW/POSSIBLE_MATCH posts

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Qwen-based refinement for low-confidence Groq results and adds optional authenticated bot webhook notifications for voucher alerts. The ingestion pipeline tracks successful bot notifications without interrupting email processing.

Changes

AI analysis routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Primary and escalation model routing
voucherbot/services/ai/analyzer.py
Groq now routes equally between two gpt-oss models. Qwen uses dedicated escalation settings and model-specific request parameters.
Escalation execution and validation
voucherbot/services/ai/analyzer.py, tests/test_analyzer.py
Single-post and batch analysis refine low-confidence results with Qwen. Tests cover model selection, request parameters, and fallback behavior.

Bot webhook notifications

Layer / File(s) Summary
Webhook payload and delivery service
voucherbot/services/bot_notification/*
The service builds voucher payloads and sends authenticated JSON requests. Missing configuration and HTTP errors return False.
Webhook configuration and pipeline integration
voucherbot/config/settings.py, .env.example, docs/details/configuration.md, voucherbot/services/ingestion/pipeline.py, tests/test_pipeline.py
Settings and documentation define the webhook URL and secret. The pipeline sends notifications after email delivery and records successful sends.
Notification behavior tests
tests/test_bot_notification.py
Tests cover payload fields, omitted values, URL fallback, configuration skips, authenticated requests, and HTTP failures.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to bf054

The change can expose webhook credentials over insecure transport or in logs, fail whole analysis batches when the escalation service is rate-limited, and significantly delay processing during webhook outages. These concrete security, correctness, and availability risks should be fixed before merging.

Require HTTPS for production webhook endpoints.

notification_bot_server_url accepts an http:// endpoint. send_bot_notification then sends WEBHOOK_SECRET in the Authorization header to that endpoint. This can expose the secret and voucher payload on the network.

Require https:// when is_prod is true. If local HTTP is required, permit only an explicit loopback exception outside production.

Keep the primary result when Qwen raises a terminal rate-limit error.

_call_groq_model re-raises a non-daily 429 after its final retry. Line 490 does not catch that exception. This breaks the documented best-effort behavior. In analyze_post_batch, the exception also causes asyncio.gather to fail the complete batch instead of returning the primary result for this post.

Proposed fix
-    refined = await _call_groq_model(title, content, _GROQ_REASONER_MODEL, source_name)
+    try:
+        refined = await _call_groq_model(
+            title, content, _GROQ_REASONER_MODEL, source_name
+        )
+    except Exception as exc:
+        logger.warning(
+            "ai.analyzer: qwen escalation failed, keeping primary result",
+            model=_GROQ_REASONER_MODEL,
+            error=str(exc)[:120],
+        )
+        return result
     if refined is None:
         return result

Add a test where _call_groq_model raises a terminal rate-limit exception and assert that _maybe_escalate_to_qwen returns primary.

Remove the raw webhook URL from failure logs.

Line 118 logs the complete configured endpoint. A webhook URL can contain an access token in its path or query string. This exposes that credential to log readers.

Log a sanitized host or a non-secret endpoint identifier instead.

Bound concurrent webhook delivery.

This loop waits for each webhook request before starting the next request. During a webhook outage, source completion is delayed by up to 10 * len(pending_notifications) seconds. fetch_limit is caller-controlled.

Use a small bounded concurrency for these best-effort requests. Count only successful results after all bounded tasks complete.
