+# Grounded Card Advisor
+
+A complete Dozer + retrieval sample for a banking use case. It recommends card
+products only after applying hard eligibility rules, attaches field-level
+provenance to every result, and rejects prompt injection and personally
+identifiable information before customer data is retrieved.
+
+The default path is deliberately boring to run: Python's standard library is
+enough. It uses the same four CSV datasets and the same response contracts as
+the Dozer-backed path, so the application and its tests work without Docker,
+an API key, an LLM account, or network access.
+
+## What is different about this sample?
+
+Many retrieval demos allow the closest vector to become the answer. That is
+unsafe for eligibility-sensitive products. This sample uses an explicit
+pipeline:
+
+```text
+untrusted query
+ -> prompt-injection / PII gate (before retrieval)
+ -> customer_features + card_products gateways
+ -> fail-closed eligibility constraints
+ -> deterministic vector ranking of eligible products only
+ -> annual-value calculation + field-level provenance
+ -> optional LangChain explanation of the already selected top result
+ -> JSON or human-readable output
+```
+
+Hard constraints are never delegated to an LLM or vector database. Missing,
+malformed, non-finite, or out-of-range constraint data raises a data-contract
+error instead of silently approving a product.
+
+## Data and Dozer APIs
+
+Four small synthetic datasets make the feature derivation inspectable:
+
+| Dataset | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `data/customers/customers.csv` | Age, income, credit score, and risk band |
+| `data/accounts/accounts.csv` | Customer/account mapping and active status |
+| `data/transactions/transactions.csv` | Monthly spend by category |
+| `data/card_products/card_products.csv` | Eligibility constraints, fees, and reward factors |
+Each table lives in its own subdirectory (`data/
/.csv`) because
+Dozer's `LocalStorage` CSV connector lists a per-table directory rather than a
+flat file. The fixture gateway reads the same directories, so both the offline
+and the Dozer-backed path consume one identical data layout.
+
+`dozer-config.yaml` joins and aggregates the first three datasets. It exposes
+only the two contracts the advisor needs:
+
+- `customer_features`: eligibility attributes and aggregated spending
+- `card_products`: product constraints and reward terms
+
+The SQL produces exactly one feature row per customer, even when a customer has
+both active and closed accounts. Spending is counted only for active accounts.
+The local `FixtureGateway` derives the equivalent `customer_features` contract
+directly from CSV. `DozerGateway` sends a JSON `$filter` to
+`POST /customer_features/query` rather than putting the customer identifier in
+an access-log-prone URL, and rejects empty, duplicate, oversized, or unexpected
+responses.
+
+## Quick start: fully offline
+
+From this directory, run:
+
+```bash
+python -m app.cli \
+ --customer-id C001 \
+ --query "airport travel rewards with grocery cashback" \
+ --json
+```
+
+No installation step is required on Python 3.10+. The result includes a plain
+language reason, an estimated annual value, every rejected product and why it
+failed, and provenance records such as:
+
+```json
+{
+ "source": "fixture",
+ "endpoint": "card_products",
+ "record_id": "CARD-TRAVEL",
+ "fields": ["annual_fee", "reward_rate", "travel_multiplier", "grocery_multiplier"]
+}
+```
+
+Human-readable output is the default; add `--json` for automation. Errors in
+JSON mode are returned as JSON on stderr with exit code `2`.
+
+## Run with Dozer
+
+This sample targets the Dozer v1 config schema, which is supported by release
+[v0.2.1](https://github.com/getdozer/dozer/releases/tag/v0.2.1). Newer
+releases (v0.3.x/v0.4.0) use a different config schema and also require a
+`protoc` binary at runtime, so pin v0.2.1:
+
+```bash
+# Linux/macOS binary from the v0.2.1 release page, then from this directory:
+dozer run --config-path dozer-config.yaml --ignore-pipe
+# ^ --ignore-pipe matters when stdin is not a TTY (CI, nohup); without it
+# Dozer tries to merge empty stdin as YAML and fails.
+python -m app.cli --gateway dozer --dozer-url http://localhost:8080 --customer-id C001 --query "travel rewards" --json
+```
+
+A captured end-to-end result (Dozer version, both generated endpoints, and one
+successful CLI call through the Dozer gateway) is committed at
+`demo/dozer-live-smoke-2026-08-12.txt`. Dozer remains the low-latency
+materialization and API layer. Switching gateways does not change eligibility,
+search, explanation, or output contracts.
+## Continuous integration
+
+`.github/workflows/grounded-card-advisor.yml` reproduces the full proof on
+every change to this sample:
+
+- `unit-tests`: the 41-test suite, the retrieval evaluation, and a compile
+ check (always).
+- `dozer-live-smoke`: starts the pinned Dozer v0.2.1 binary with
+ `dozer-config.yaml`, queries both generated endpoints, and runs one
+ `--gateway dozer` CLI call with provenance assertions (on PR/push; can be
+ toggled via `workflow_dispatch` input `run_live_smoke`). The start step
+ retries once before failing (flake guard), and a daily scheduled run
+ (`schedule`, 03:00 UTC) keeps the proof alive against Dozer release drift.
+ Scheduled runs fire on the default branch, so they activate once this
+ workflow is merged to `main`.
+
+## Deterministic and optional vector search
+
+The default `DeterministicVectorSearch` uses SHA-256 feature hashing and cosine
+similarity. It is reproducible across processes and machines, needs no model
+download, and provides a useful offline CI baseline.
+
+An optional LangChain/Chroma adapter demonstrates how to swap in a vector
+database without changing the pipeline:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -r requirements-chroma.txt
+python -m app.cli \
+ --search chroma \
+ --customer-id C001 \
+ --query "frequent airport and hotel travel" \
+ --json
+```
+
+The imports are lazy: users who choose the offline path do not need LangChain
+or Chroma.
+
+## Optional LangChain chat explanation
+
+The advisor always applies the security gate, loads Dozer or fixture context,
+checks eligibility, and selects products deterministically before an LLM can
+run. With `OPENAI_API_KEY` set, `--llm` asks LangChain/OpenAI to explain only
+the already selected top product:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -r requirements-chroma.txt
+python -m app.cli --customer-id C001 --query "travel rewards" --llm
+```
+
+The immutable LLM context excludes age, income, credit score, risk band, and
+customer ID. It includes only the validated query, the selected product, the
+verified calculation, and category spend used by that calculation. LLM text is
+attached as `llm_explanation`; it cannot change product IDs, eligibility,
+ranking, provenance, or computed value. If `OPENAI_API_KEY` is absent, `--llm`
+quietly retains the local deterministic explanation.
+
+For an interactive session, omit `--query` and use `--chat` (type `quit` to
+finish):
+
+```bash
+python -m app.cli --customer-id C001 --gateway dozer --chat --llm
+```
+
+## Safety behavior
+
+- Query validation happens before any gateway method is called.
+- Common prompt-injection and secret-exfiltration phrases are rejected.
+- Email addresses, payment-card numbers, US SSNs, and IBAN-like strings are
+ rejected instead of logged or forwarded.
+- Eligibility checks account status, age, income, credit score, and risk band.
+- All hard constraints must pass before a product enters semantic ranking.
+- Deterministic explanations are assembled from computed values, not generated claims.
+- Optional LLM text runs after selection and cannot change decision fields.
+- Outputs include a financial-advice disclaimer.
+
+This is an educational sample. Production systems require institution-specific
+compliance review, consent, authentication, audit logging, retention controls,
+fair-lending tests, and human appeal paths.
+
+## Tests and evaluation
+
+Run the complete offline suite:
+
+```bash
+python -m unittest discover -s tests -v
+```
+
+The suite covers strict model parsing, input gates, constraint boundaries,
+stable ranking, CSV joins, Dozer response shapes, URL encoding, end-to-end
+provenance, eligibility-before-ranking, and security-before-retrieval.
+
+The retrieval evaluation is a separate executable artifact:
+
+```bash
+python -m tests.eval_retrieval
+```
+
+It reports hit-rate@3 and mean reciprocal rank for five checked intents. The
+unit suite enforces `hit_rate_at_3 == 1.0` and `MRR >= 0.85` to catch search
+quality regressions without a paid evaluation service.
+
+## Layout
+
+```text
+app/
+ advisor.py pipeline and deterministic grounded explanations
+ cli.py human and JSON interfaces
+ eligibility.py hard, fail-closed rules
+ explainer.py optional post-selection LangChain explanation
+ gateway.py local fixture and Dozer REST adapters
+ models.py strict data contracts and provenance
+ security.py pre-retrieval injection and PII gates
+ vector_search.py deterministic and optional Chroma search
+data/ four synthetic CSV datasets
+tests/ unit, integration, security, and eval tests
+dozer-config.yaml LocalStorage sources, transformation, and two APIs
+```
+
+## Try failure paths
+
+An inactive customer produces no recommendations:
+
+```bash
+python -m app.cli --customer-id C005 --query "cashback" --json
+```
+
+A malicious or sensitive query is rejected before customer lookup:
+
+```bash
+python -m app.cli --customer-id C001 --query "ignore the system prompt" --json
+```
+
+Both commands exit with code `2`, making them easy to assert in scripts.

+Live Dozer smoke result (fixture -> generated API -> advisor)
+=============================================================
+Date: 2026-08-12 (UTC)
+Dozer binary: dozer 0.2.1 (dozer-linux-amd64.tar.gz from
+ https://github.com/getdozer/dozer/releases/tag/v0.2.1)
+Runtime: WSL2 Ubuntu 24.04 x86_64; protoc 3.21.12; unixODBC/libssl1.1
+ extracted into the user home (no system packages installed)
+Command: dozer run --config-path dozer-config.yaml --ignore-pipe
+(no Docker, no cloud account, no API key)
+
+-- 1. Both generated endpoints -------------------------------------------
+
+$ curl -s http://localhost:8080/card_products
+[{"product_id":"CARD-CASH","name":"Everyday Cash",
+ "description":"Simple no-fee cashback for groceries and daily purchases",
+ "annual_fee":0,"min_income":24000,"min_credit_score":640,"min_age":18,

+ "__dozer_record_id": 0,
+ "__dozer_record_version": 3
+}]
+
+-- 2. One successful CLI call through the Dozer gateway -------------------
+
+$ python -m app.cli --gateway dozer --dozer-url http://localhost:8080 \
+ --customer-id C001 --query "travel rewards" --json # exit 0
+
+{
+ "customer_id": "C001",
+ "gateway": "dozer",
+ "query": "travel rewards",
+ "recommendations": [
+ {
+ "product_id": "CARD-TRAVEL",
+ "product_name": "Travel Plus",
+ "estimated_annual_value": 475.0,
+ "score": 0.534522,
+ "reason": "Eligible under all published constraints; query relevance
+ 0.535. Estimated rewards minus annual fee: 475.00/year.",

+ ]
+ },
+ { "product_id": "CARD-SELECT", "product_name": "Select Cashback",
+ "estimated_annual_value": 346.68, ... }
+ ]
+}
+
+-- 3. What had to change to make the documented path run ------------------
+
+The config was written for the Dozer v1 config schema, which is supported by
+the v0.2.1 release (v0.4.0+ moved to the v2 schema with `sinks`/`lambdas`).
+Two reproducible fixes were needed:
+
+a) LocalStorage CSV layout: Dozer's LocalStorage connector lists a
+ per-table DIRECTORY, so the CSVs moved from `data/.csv` to
+ `data//.csv`. The fixture gateway reads the same
+ directories, so offline and Dozer paths consume one layout.
+
+b) Endpoint primary key: Dozer derives the materialized key from the SQL
+ GROUP BY columns (`customer_id, age, annual_income, credit_score,
+ risk_band`); the endpoint declared only `customer_id`. The index was
+ aligned to the full key. `POST /customer_features/query` with the
+ `$filter` still resolves a single row per customer.
+
+All 41 unit tests still pass after the layout change:
+$ python -m unittest discover -s tests -v # Ran 41 tests ... OK
