## 🎯 Overview

**NPersona** is designed for security teams and AI system builders who need to:

1. **Analyze AI system documentation** — automatically extract all agents, capabilities, data flows, guardrails, and attack surfaces
2. **Generate testing personas** — create realistic user-centric personas (who break systems through edge cases) and adversarial personas (who intentionally attack)
3. **Measure testing coverage** — identify which aspects of your AI system are tested and which gaps remain
4. **Export & integrate** — download personas in JSON/CSV for use in testing frameworks, security walkthroughs, or red-team exercises

### Example Use Cases

- **Enterprise AI Platforms** — Test RAG systems, multi-agent orchestrators, and LLM APIs against realistic personas
- **Chatbot Security** — Find prompt injection, jailbreak, and data leakage vulnerabilities
- **AI Product Teams** — Generate edge-case personas for UX testing (accessibility, multi-language, typos, etc.)
- **Security Teams** — Create adversarial personas mapped to OWASP/MITRE ATT&CK frameworks

## 🔄 How It Works (Complete Flow)

### 1. **User Uploads Document**

```
User opens Frontend → /upload page
    ↓
Selects file (PDF, DOCX, MD, TXT) + number of personas to generate
    ↓
POST /api/upload
    ├─ Backend validates file type
    ├─ Extracts text content
    ├─ Creates Job record (status: "parsing")
    └─ Returns job_id
    
Frontend redirects to /job/[jobId]
```

### 2. **Graph Building Pipeline (Background)**

**Trigger**: `_run_pipeline()` starts automatically after upload

```
_run_pipeline() (Background Task)
    ├─ Set job.status = "graph_building"
    │
    ├─ Call build_knowledge_graph()
    │   ├─ Prepare LLM prompt with EXTRACTION_SYSTEM_PROMPT
    │   ├─ Truncate document to 50k chars (if needed)
    │   │
    │   ├─ LLM CALL: Extract entities
    │   │   Input: Document describing AI system
    │   │   Output: JSON with nodes[] and edges[]
    │   │
    │   ├─ LLM extracts 6 entity types:
    │   │   • user_role (who uses the system)
    │   │   • agent (all AI agents/assistants/bots)
    │   │   • capability (what the system can do)
    │   │   • sensitive_data (PII, secrets, etc.)
    │   │   • guardrail (safety mechanisms)
    │   │   • attack_surface (vulnerabilities)
    │   │
    │   ├─ LLM extracts relationships:
    │   │   • HAS_CAPABILITY: agent → capability
    │   │   • CAN_ACCESS: user_role → data
    │   │   • TARGETS: attack_surface → agent
    │   │   • PROTECTS: guardrail → agent
    │   │   • GUARDS: guardrail → attack_surface
    │   │   • EXPOSES: capability → attack_surface
    │   │   • USES: agent → agent (multi-agent)
    │   │
    │   ├─ Store graph in memory (graph_store)
    │   └─ Emit SSE events:
    │       • "stage_changed" → "graph_building"
    │       • "log_message" → progress updates
    │       • "stage_changed" → "graph_ready"
    │
    └─ Update job: status="graph_ready", node_count, edge_count

Frontend (SSE listener):
    ├─ Receives events in real-time
    ├─ Updates Zustand store
    ├─ Displays knowledge graph (3D visualization)
    └─ Unlocks "Generate Personas" button
```

**Example Extracted Graph**:
```json
{
  "nodes": [
    {"id": "agent_claude", "label": "Claude LLM", "type": "agent", "properties": {"model": "gpt-4"}},
    {"id": "cap_search", "label": "Search Documents", "type": "capability"},
    {"id": "data_pii", "label": "Employee Records (PII)", "type": "sensitive_data"},
    {"id": "guard_rate_limit", "label": "Rate Limiting", "type": "guardrail"},
    {"id": "attack_prompt_inject", "label": "Prompt Injection", "type": "attack_surface"}
  ],
  "edges": [
    {"source": "agent_claude", "target": "cap_search", "type": "HAS_CAPABILITY"},
    {"source": "agent_claude", "target": "data_pii", "type": "CAN_ACCESS"},
    {"source": "attack_prompt_inject", "target": "agent_claude", "type": "TARGETS"},
    {"source": "guard_rate_limit", "target": "attack_prompt_inject", "type": "GUARDS"}
  ]
}
```

### 3. **User Triggers Persona Generation**

```
Frontend: User clicks "Generate Personas" button
    ↓
POST /api/job/{jobId}/generate-personas
    ├─ Request body: { num_user_personas: 5, num_adversarial_personas: 5 }
    ├─ Validate job.status is "graph_ready"
    ├─ Set job.status = "persona_generating"
    └─ Start background task: _run_persona_generation()
```

### 4. **Persona Generation Pipeline**

```
_run_persona_generation() (Background Task)
    ├─ Load knowledge graph from memory
    │
    ├─ For each agent in graph:
    │   ├─ Generate 1 user-centric persona
    │   │   ├─ LLM CALL: "Create a realistic user who struggles with this agent"
    │   │   ├─ Output includes:
    │   │   │   • role, tech_literacy, domain_expertise
    │   │   │   • emotional_state, accessibility_needs
    │   │   │   • edge_case_behavior (how they break the system)
    │   │   │   • frustration_level, failure_recovery_expectation
    │   │   │   • Taxonomy: U01-U08 (Ambiguous Query, Typo, Long Input, etc.)
    │   │   │   • multi_turn_scenario (conversation trajectory)
    │   │   │   • example_prompts (sample inputs to test with)
    │   │   └─ Emit SSE "persona_generated"
    │   │
    │   └─ Generate 1 adversarial persona
    │       ├─ LLM CALL: "Create an attacker targeting this agent"
    │       ├─ Output includes:
    │       │   • alias, skill_level (script kiddie / expert)
    │       │   • attack_taxonomy_ids (A01-A10+)
    │       │   • OWASP mapping (Injection, Broken Access Control, etc.)
    │       │   • MITRE ATT&CK ID (if applicable)
    │       │   • target_agent, target_data (what they want)
    │       │   • motivation (financial, espionage, chaos)
    │       │   • attack_strategy (detailed steps)
    │       │   • persistence_level (one-time vs. long-term)
    │       │   • evasion_techniques (how to hide)
    │       │   • success_criteria, expected_system_response
    │       │   • risk_severity (critical / high / medium / low)
    │       │   • playbook (multi-turn conversation blueprint)
    │       │   • example_prompts (attack payloads)
    │       └─ Emit SSE "persona_generated"
    │
    ├─ Score all personas:
    │   ├─ novelty_score: How unique is this persona? (0-1)
    │   ├─ coverage_impact: How many new testing scenarios? (0-1)
    │   ├─ risk_score: Severity of potential impact (0-1)
    │   └─ composite_score: weighted(novelty, coverage, risk) → used for sorting
    │
    ├─ Store in SQLite:
    │   ├─ Delete old personas for this job
    │   ├─ Insert each persona as Persona record
    │   ├─ Update Job: status="done", user_persona_count, adversarial_persona_count
    │   └─ Commit
    │
    └─ Emit SSE "stage_changed" → "done"

Frontend (SSE listener):
    ├─ Receives "persona_generated" events
    ├─ Updates persona cards in real-time
    ├─ Receives "done" event
    ├─ Fetches GET /api/job/{jobId}/personas
    ├─ Displays sorted personas (by composite_score)
    └─ Unlocks Coverage & Export features
```

    │   ├─ "partial" (persona exists but low composite_score)
    │   └─ "missing" (no persona for this taxonomy ID)
    │
    └─ Return coverage matrix
    
Frontend:
    ├─ Display coverage grid
    │   • Rows: Taxonomy IDs
    │   • Columns: Status (Covered / Partial / Missing)
    │   • Color code: Green / Yellow / Red
    ├─ Allow user to click "Generate Missing" for gaps

## 🛠️ Development

### Backend Development

```bash
cd backend

# Run with hot reload
python run.py

# Run tests (if available)
pytest tests/

# Check logs
tail -f app.log
```

### Frontend Development

```bash
cd frontend

# Start dev server with hot reload
npm run dev

# Build for production
npm run build

# Type checking
npx tsc --noEmit

# Linting
npm run lint
```

### Database Migrations

The backend auto-migrates the SQLite schema on startup ([database.py](backend/app/database.py)).

To inspect the database:
```bash
sqlite3 backend/data/personas.db
.schema
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM jobs;
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM personas;
```

## 🔍 How the Pipeline Works (Detailed)

### Stage 1: Document Parsing

```python
# Input: PDF, DOCX, MD, or TXT file
# Process:
#   1. Extract text (PyPDF2 for PDF, python-docx for DOCX)
#   2. Clean whitespace and normalize encoding
#   3. Truncate to 50k chars (if needed)
# Output: Plain text ready for LLM

# Example:
document_text = await parse_document("api_spec.pdf", file_content)
# "Our Claude API supports multiple models: claude-3-opus, claude-3-sonnet, claude-3-haiku..."
```

### Stage 2: Graph Extraction (LLM)

```python
# Input: Document text + extraction system prompt
# Process:
#   1. Call LLM with high context length (16k tokens)
#   2. LLM analyzes document and returns JSON:
#      {
#        "nodes": [
#          {"id": "agent_claude", "label": "Claude", "type": "agent", ...},
#          {"id": "cap_reasoning", "label": "Reasoning", "type": "capability", ...},
#          ...
#        ],
#        "edges": [
#          {"source": "agent_claude", "target": "cap_reasoning", "type": "HAS_CAPABILITY"},
#          ...
#        ]
#      }
#   3. Validate JSON structure
#   4. Store in memory (graph_store)
# Output: Knowledge graph ready for persona generation

result = await call_llm(
    system_prompt=EXTRACTION_SYSTEM_PROMPT,
    user_prompt=f"Analyze this document:\n\n{document_text}",
    temperature=0.3,  # Low temperature = consistent extraction
    max_tokens=16384,
)
```

### Stage 3: Persona Generation (Multi-Turn LLM)

```python
# Input: Knowledge graph + persona count
# Process:
#   For each agent in the graph:
#     A. Generate User-Centric Persona
#        1. Call LLM: "Create a user who struggles with this agent"
#        2. Output: role, tech_literacy, edge_case_behavior, example_prompts, ...
#        3. Classify into taxonomy U01-U08 (edge case type)
#
#     B. Generate Adversarial Persona
#        1. Call LLM: "Create an attacker targeting this agent"
#        2. Output: attack_strategy, risk_severity, OWASP mapping, example_prompts, ...
#        3. Classify into taxonomy A01-A10+ (attack type)
#
#   Score all personas:
#     • novelty_score = how different from existing personas
#     • coverage_impact = how many new scenarios
#     • risk_score = severity of potential attack
#     • composite_score = weighted(novelty, coverage, risk)
#
# Output: List of ranked personas (sorted by composite_score DESC)

for agent in graph.nodes:
    if agent.type == "agent":
        # Generate user persona
        user_persona = await generate_user_persona(agent, graph)
        # Generate adversarial persona
        adv_persona = await generate_adversarial_persona(agent, graph)
```

### Stage 4: Storage & Retrieval

```python
# Store in SQLite:
# - Job record: id, filename, document_text, graph_data (JSON), status, counts
# - Persona records: job_id, name, team (user_centric/adversarial), scores, playbook, etc.

# Query pattern:
personas = await session.execute(
    select(Persona)
    .where(Persona.job_id == job_id)
    .order_by(Persona.composite_score.desc())
)
# Returns: sorted list of personas by quality

# Export:
# - JSON: Direct serialization of persona records
# - CSV: Flattened schema (one row per persona)
```

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Backend Won't Start

**Error**: `TypeError: AsyncClient.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'proxies'`

**Cause**: Incompatible versions of `openai` and `httpx`.

**Solution**:
```bash
pip install "httpx<0.28.0"
```

**Error**: `Module not found: anthropic`

**Solution**:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### Pipeline Errors

**Error**: Job stuck in "graph_building" after server restart

**Solution**: On startup, `_cleanup_stuck_jobs()` resets stuck jobs:
- If a graph exists → status = "graph_ready"
- Otherwise → status = "error" with message "Server restarted during processing"

**Error**: LLM API rate limits

**Solution**: Increase `LLM_CONCURRENCY` (default 3), reduce `num_user_personas` / `num_adversarial_personas`, or use a different LLM provider.

### Frontend Issues

**Issue**: Frontend can't connect to backend

**Check**:
1. Backend running on `http://localhost:8001`? (`python run.py`)
2. CORS configured correctly? (Check `settings.CORS_ORIGINS` in `.env`)
3. API URL in frontend `.env.local`? (Should be `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:8001`)

**Issue**: SSE stream not updating

**Check**:
1. Backend `/api/health` returns `200 OK`?
2. Browser console for errors? (DevTools → Console)
3. Network tab shows SSE connection? (Check `/api/job/{jobId}/stream`)

### Database Issues

**Error**: `sqlite3.OperationalError: database is locked`

**Cause**: Multiple processes accessing SQLite simultaneously.

**Solution**:
1. Ensure only one backend process running
2. Delete `data/personas.db` and restart (will recreate)

---

## 📝 Example Workflow

1. **Upload**: Paste a ChatGPT system prompt or an AI API spec
2. **Wait**: Backend extracts agents, capabilities, data, guardrails, attack surfaces
3. **Review**: Examine knowledge graph — are all agents captured?
4. **Generate**: Click "Generate 5 User + 5 Adversarial Personas"
5. **Analyze**: Review personas, scores, and coverage gaps
6. **Test**: Export JSON and feed into your security testing pipeline
7. **Iterate**: Generate missing personas for uncovered taxonomy IDs

---

## 🔐 Security Notes

- **Never commit `.env`** with real API keys — use `.gitignore`
- **Validate all LLM outputs** before using in production
- **Rate limit the API** when deploying publicly
- **Rotate API keys** if they appear in logs or version control
