## ๐ซ CRITICAL ARCHITECTURAL RULES - NEVER VIOLATE THESE
### ๐ NON-NEGOTIABLE ARCHITECTURAL PRINCIPLES
#### **1. CENTRAL CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT**
- **ONLY the `config` crate can access Vault directly**
- **NO type aliases** - use proper imports from config crate
- **NO backward compatibility layers**
- **NO service-specific config** - everything through config crate
- Services import: `use config::{ServiceConfig, ConfigManager, etc.}`
- **NEVER create foxhunt-config-crate or any foxhunt- prefixed crates**
#### **2. TLI IS A PURE CLIENT**
- **NO server components** in TLI (no WebSocketServer, no HealthServer)
- **NO database dependencies** in TLI
- **NO ML/Risk/Data dependencies** in TLI
- TLI only needs: gRPC client libs, terminal UI (ratatui), core types
- **Wave 70+**: TLI connects ONLY to API Gateway (single entry point)
- **Pre-Wave 70**: TLI connected to 3 services via gRPC: Trading, Backtesting, ML Training
#### **3. SERVICE ARCHITECTURE**
- **API Gateway** (Wave 70+): Centralized auth & config management (server for TLI, client for backend services)
- Trading Service: Monolithic with all business logic
- Backtesting Service: Independent strategy testing
- ML Training Service: Model lifecycle management
- TLI: Pure terminal client connecting to API Gateway (single entry point)
#### **4. COMPILATION FIXES PATTERNS**
- Check for `vault_service` references that shouldn't exist
- Use `::std::core::` not `core::` when local crate shadows std
- Add `async-stream = "0.3"` to dependencies when needed
- NO direct vault access outside config crate
#### **5. DEPENDENCY MANAGEMENT**
- Config crate is the ONLY crate with vault dependencies
- Services depend on config crate, NOT on vault directly
- NO circular dependencies between services
- NO shared state between services except through config

### **Model Management Architecture (PRODUCTION OPERATIONAL)**
#### **Configuration-Driven Model Loading**
```sql
-- Enhanced PostgreSQL Schema for Model Configuration
-- File: database/schemas/002_model_config.sql
CREATE TABLE model_config (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
model_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
model_type VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
s3_bucket VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
s3_region VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
cache_path VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL,
is_active BOOLEAN DEFAULT true
);
CREATE TABLE model_versions (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
model_config_id INTEGER REFERENCES model_config(id),
version VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
s3_path VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL,
checksum VARCHAR(64),
training_date TIMESTAMP,
performance_metrics JSONB,
is_current BOOLEAN DEFAULT false
);
-- Hot-reload Support with PostgreSQL NOTIFY/LISTEN
-- Automatic triggers for configuration change notifications
-- Indexed lookups for fast model retrieval by name/version
```
#### **S3 Integration with Local Caching**
```rust
// Model Storage Pipeline
config::ModelConfig {
s3_path: "s3://foxhunt-models/mamba2/v1.2.3/model.safetensors",
cache_path: "/cache/models/mamba2-v1.2.3.bin",
metadata: { model_type: "mamba2", performance_metrics: {...} }
}
// Hot-reload on Configuration Changes
POSTGRES PostgreSQL NOTIFY/LISTEN โ ConfigManager โ Model Cache Invalidation โ S3 Download
```
#### **Version Management with Metadata**
```rust
// Model Version Tracking
ModelVersion {
version: "v1.2.3",
performance_metrics: { accuracy: 0.94, inference_time_ms: 2.1 },
training_metadata: { dataset_size: 1M, training_duration: "6h" },
is_current: true,
checksum: "sha256:abc123..." // Integrity verification
}
```
#### **Database Methods for Model Management**
```rust
// New methods in crates/config/src/database.rs
impl PostgresConfigLoader {
// Model configuration management
pub async fn get_model_config(&self, model_name: &str) -> ConfigResult
