## Current Project: AI Chat API

You are working on a sophisticated AI Chat application with the following architecture and features:

### Project Overview:
A specialized AI chat microservice built with FastAPI and LangGraph that integrates with an existing ERP ecosystem. This application serves as a dedicated chat service that communicates between a Vue3 frontend and a Laravel backend, providing intelligent conversation capabilities with built-in JWT authentication and specialized consignment tracking tools.

### Architecture Context:
This FastAPI application operates within a larger system architecture:
- **Frontend**: Vue3 application (existing)
- **Main Backend**: Laravel ERP system (existing, handles business logic, authentication, data management)
- **Chat Service**: This FastAPI application (dedicated AI chat microservice)
- **Communication Flow**: Vue3 ↔ FastAPI Chat Service ↔ Laravel Backend

### Authentication Flow:
1. Vue3 app authenticates with Laravel backend and receives JWT token
2. Vue3 sends chat requests to FastAPI with Laravel-generated JWT token
3. FastAPI validates the token and processes chat requests
4. When FastAPI needs ERP data (e.g., consignment tracking), it forwards the same JWT token to Laravel backend
5. Laravel validates token and returns requested data to FastAPI
6. FastAPI processes the data and returns AI- response to Vue3

### Technology Stack:
- **Backend**: FastAPI with Python 3.13, Uvicorn ASGI server
- **AI Framework**: LangChain + LangGraph for agent orchestration
- **LLM**: OpenAI GPT-4o for conversation and reasoning
- **Authentication**: JWT tokens with python-jose[cryptography]
- **Database**: MySQL with mysql-connector-python
- **Environment**: python-dotenv for configuration management
- **HTTP Client**: requests for external API integration
- **Validation**: Pydantic for data modeling and validation
- **Logging**: Custom structured logging with file rotation

### Key Components:

1. **main.py** - FastAPI application with:
   - JWT-protected chat endpoints (/api/chat)
   - Test endpoints for development (/api/test-chat)
   - CORS middleware for frontend integration
   - Comprehensive error handling and logging
   - Request tracking with unique IDs

2. **langgraph_agent.py** - Sophisticated AI agent featuring:
   - LangGraph state management with custom State TypedDict
   - Tool integration with conditional routing
   - OpenAI GPT-4o integration
   - Authentication token passing to tools
   - Conversation context preservation

3. **tools.py** - Custom tools including:
   - TrackConsignment tool for GR/consignment number tracking
   - External API integration with Laravel backend using forwarded JWT tokens
   - Comprehensive error handling (timeout, connection, request errors)
   - Structured logging for tool execution and debugging
   - Input validation and sanitization
   - Token passthrough for ERP data access

4. **verify_jwt.py** - Security middleware with:
   - JWT token extraction from Authorization headers
   - Bearer token support for Laravel-generated tokens
   - Token validation and payload extraction
   - FastAPI dependency integration
   - Token forwarding to ERP backend when needed

5. **config.py** - Configuration management:
   - Environment variable loading with validation
   - Database connection parameters
   - API key management with security masking
   - Settings class with type safety

6. **conn.py** - Database utilities:
   - MySQL connection management
   - Environment-based configuration
   - Connection pooling and error handling
   - Proper connection lifecycle management

7. **logger_config.py** - Centralized logging:
   - Multiple log levels (INFO, DEBUG, WARNING, ERROR)
   - File-based logging (app.log, errors.log)
   - Request tracking and structured output
   - Production-ready log formatting
