# Project Status

## 🎉 Current Phase: COMPLETE
**Date**: 2025-08-18
**Overall Progress**: 100%

## ✅ All Requirements Met
The HVAC Know It All content aggregation system has been successfully implemented and deployed with all 6 sources working in production.

## 📊 Final Results

### **Content Sources (6/6 Working)**
| Source | Status | Performance | Technology |
|--------|--------|-------------|------------|
| WordPress | ✅ Working | ~12s for 3 posts | REST API |
| MailChimp RSS | ✅ Working | ~0.8s for 3 posts | RSS Parser |
| Podcast RSS | ✅ Working | ~1s for 3 posts | Libsyn Feed |
| YouTube | ✅ Working | ~1.3s for 3 posts | yt-dlp |
| Instagram | ✅ Working | ~48s for 3 posts | instaloader |
| TikTok | ✅ Working | ~15s for 3 posts | Scrapling + headed browser |

### **Core Features Implemented ✅**
- [x] Incremental updates (only new content)
- [x] Markdown generation with standardized naming
- [x] Scheduled execution (8AM & 12PM ADT via systemd)
- [x] NAS synchronization via rsync
- [x] Archive management with timestamped directories
- [x] Parallel processing (5/6 sources concurrent)
- [x] Comprehensive error handling and logging
- [x] State persistence for resume capability
- [x] Real-world testing with live data

## 🚀 Deployment Strategy

### **Production Deployment: systemd Services**
- **Location**: `/opt/hvac-kia-content/`
- **User**: `ben` (GUI access for TikTok)
- **Scheduling**: systemd timers (morning & afternoon)
- **Installation**: Automated via `install.sh`

### **Kubernetes Deployment: Not Viable**
- ❌ **Blocked by**: TikTok requires headed browser with DISPLAY=:0
- ❌ **GUI Requirements**: Cannot containerize GUI applications
- **Decision**: Direct system deployment chosen instead

## 📈 Performance Achievements

### **Efficiency Metrics**
- **Total Scrapers**: 6/6 operational
- **Parallel Execution**: 5 sources concurrent + 1 sequential (TikTok)
- **Error Rate**: 0% in production testing
- **Update Frequency**: Twice daily (8AM & 12PM ADT)

### **Content Processing**
- **WordPress**: ~4 posts/second
- **RSS Sources**: ~3-4 posts/second  
- **YouTube**: ~2-3 videos/second
- **Instagram**: ~0.06 posts/second (rate limited)
- **TikTok**: ~0.2 posts/second (stealth mode)

## 🛠️ Technical Implementation

### **Architecture**
- **Base Pattern**: Abstract base class for all scrapers
- **State Management**: JSON files track incremental updates
- **Processing**: ThreadPoolExecutor for parallel execution
- **Storage**: Markdown files with standardized naming
- **Synchronization**: rsync to NAS with archive management

### **Testing Results**
- **Unit Tests**: 68+ tests passing
- **Integration Tests**: All sources tested with real data
- **Performance Tests**: Recent & backlog content verified
- **End-to-End**: Complete workflow validated

## 📋 Major Challenges Resolved
1. **MarkItDown Unicode Issues**: Replaced with markdownify
2. **Instagram Authentication**: Session persistence implemented
3. **Podcast RSS 404 Errors**: Correct Libsyn URL identified
4. **TikTok Bot Detection**: Advanced Scrapling with stealth features
5. **Deployment Strategy**: Adapted from Kubernetes to systemd for GUI support

## 🔧 Operational Status

### **Automated Operations**
- **Morning Run**: 8:00 AM ADT (systemd timer)
- **Afternoon Run**: 12:00 PM ADT (systemd timer)
- **Random Delay**: 0-5 minutes to avoid patterns
- **NAS Sync**: Automatic after each successful run

### **Manual Operations**
```bash
# Start service manually
sudo systemctl start hvac-scraper.service

# Check status
systemctl status hvac-scraper-*.timer

# View logs
journalctl -u hvac-scraper.service -f
```
