## The Problem with RAG Today

Every RAG pipeline ingests documents the same broken way:

```
PDF → extract text → split every 512 chars → embed → store → hope
```

What gets silently destroyed:

| Source | What blind chunking loses |
|---|---|
| Financial report | Table row `45.2% \| Q3 \| Europe` has no column headers |
| Legal contract | Clause split mid-sentence across two chunks |
| API documentation | Code example separated from its description |
| Research paper | Figure caption disconnected from its analysis |

**The LLM receives noise and returns approximate answers.** This is not a retrieval problem — it is an ingestion problem.

---

## ✨ Why DOCNEST

DOCNEST reads the *structure* of a document before touching the content. Every heading becomes a navigable `§section`. Every table is preserved as `{ caption, headers, rows[] }`. Every section gets a one-sentence summary, a keyword index, and a quantized embedding — computed once at ingest, used forever.

The output is a `.udf` file — a self-contained portable knowledge base you can share by email, copy to USB, or upload to S3.

---

## 📦 Installation

```bash
pip install docnest-ai
```

### Optional extras

```bash
# Fast PDF parsing (no ML, no downloads) — recommended for most PDFs
pip install pymupdf

# ML-quality PDF parsing (tables, scanned docs) — requires more RAM
pip install docling

# Fast approximate nearest-neighbour search (large document sets)
pip install faiss-cpu

# Persistent cross-session vector store
pip install chromadb

# Everything at once
pip install docnest-ai pymupdf docling faiss-cpu chromadb
```

---

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Convert a document

```bash
# Fastest — PyMuPDF parser, local embeddings, no LLM required
docnest convert report.pdf --pdf-engine pymupdf --fast

# Full quality — Docling parser + LLM enrichment (Groq is free-tier friendly)
docnest convert report.pdf --llm-provider groq --llm-model llama-3.3-70b-versatile

# Large PDF (>30 pages) — auto page-chunked, full ML quality, bounded RAM
docnest convert big-report.pdf --llm-provider openai --llm-model gpt-4o-mini

# With metadata tags
docnest convert report.pdf \
  --owner "Alice Smith" \
  --department "Finance" \
  --tags "q4,2024,revenue"
```

### Query a document

```bash
docnest query report.udf "What was Q3 revenue?"
docnest query report.udf "What are the key risks?" --layers 0,1,2
```

### Inspect a document

```bash
docnest inspect report.udf
```

### View as HTML

```bash
docnest view report.udf           # opens browser
docnest view report.udf --out report.html
```

### Library — multi-document search

```bash
docnest library init ./docs/
docnest library add  ./docs/ report.udf
docnest library add  ./docs/ contract.udf
docnest library list ./docs/
docnest library search ./docs/ "revenue forecast"
docnest library remove ./docs/ old-report.udf
```

---

## 🐍 Python API

### Converting a document

```python
from docnest.pipeline import DocNestPipeline

# ── Option 1: Fully local — no API keys, no internet after first download ──
pipeline = DocNestPipeline(
    llm_provider="ollama",
    llm_model="llama3.2",          # ollama pull llama3.2
    emb_provider="huggingface",
    emb_model="all-MiniLM-L6-v2",  # downloaded automatically on first run
)
pipeline.convert("report.pdf")     # → report.udf

# ── Option 2: Groq LLM + local HuggingFace embeddings (recommended) ──
pipeline = DocNestPipeline(
    llm_provider="groq",
    llm_model="llama-3.3-70b-versatile",
    llm_api_key="gsk_...",          # or set GROQ_API_KEY env var
    emb_provider="huggingface",
    emb_model="all-MiniLM-L6-v2",
)
pipeline.convert("report.pdf")

# ── Option 3: OpenAI for both LLM and embeddings ──
pipeline = DocNestPipeline(
    llm_provider="openai",
    llm_model="gpt-4o-mini",
    llm_api_key="sk-...",
    emb_provider="openai",
    emb_model="text-embedding-3-small",
    emb_api_key="sk-...",
)
pipeline.convert("report.pdf")

# ── Option 4: Skip intelligence (no LLM, fastest) ──
pipeline = DocNestPipeline(skip_intelligence=True)
pipeline.convert("report.pdf")     # embeddings only, no section summaries

# ── Option 5: Custom output path + progress callback ──
pipeline = DocNestPipeline(
    llm_provider="groq",
    llm_api_key="gsk_...",
)
pipeline.convert(
    "report.pdf",
    output_path="./output/report.udf",
    on_stage_complete=lambda stage, _: print(f"✓ {stage}"),
)
```

### Querying a document

```python
from docnest.reader import UDFIndex

# Load the .udf file (instant — no LLM needed to load)
idx = UDFIndex.load("report.udf")

# ── Simple query — escalates through layers automatically ──
result = idx.query(
    "What was Q3 revenue?",
    llm_provider="groq",
    llm_model="llama-3.3-70b-versatile",
    llm_api_key="gsk_...",
)

print(result.answer)       # "Q3 revenue was $38M, up 22% YoY."
print(result.citations)    # ["§3.1"]
print(result.layer_used)   # 1  (BM25+cosine, 0 tokens!)
print(result.tokens_used)  # 0

# ── Use FAISS for faster search on large documents ──
idx = UDFIndex.load("report.udf", vector="faiss")

# ── ChromaDB — persists across sessions ──
idx = UDFIndex.load("report.udf", vector="chroma", persist_dir="./chroma_store")

# ── Multiple queries on same index (load once, reuse) ──
questions = [
    "What were the key risks?",
    "What is the revenue forecast for 2025?",
    "Who are the main competitors?",
]
for q in questions:
    r = idx.query(q, llm_provider="groq", llm_api_key="gsk_...")
    print(f"[L{r.layer_used}] {r.answer[:120]}")
```

### Parsing PDFs directly

```python
from docnest.parsers.pdf import DoclingPDFParser
from docnest.parsers.pymupdf_pdf import PyMuPDFParser
from docnest.parsers.factory import ParserFactory

# ── DoclingPDFParser — full ML quality (tables, headings, scanned pages) ──

# Small PDF (≤30 pages) — runs Docling directly
parser = DoclingPDFParser()
raw = parser.parse("report.pdf")

# Large PDF — auto page-chunked in 30-page pieces, same full ML quality
raw = DoclingPDFParser().parse("600-page-annual-report.pdf")

# Explicit chunk size — tune to your RAM
raw = DoclingPDFParser(chunk_pages=10).parse("large.pdf")   # low RAM machine
raw = DoclingPDFParser(chunk_pages=50).parse("large.pdf")   # high RAM machine

# Scanned PDF (OCR) — requires Docling's Tesseract integration
raw = DoclingPDFParser(ocr=True).parse("scanned-contract.pdf")

# ── PyMuPDFParser — fast, zero ML, works on any machine ──
parser = PyMuPDFParser()
raw = parser.parse("report.pdf")

# ── ParserFactory — auto-selects the right parser by file extension ──
factory = ParserFactory()                          # default: Docling for PDF
factory = ParserFactory(pdf_engine="pymupdf")      # lightweight: PyMuPDF for PDF

raw = factory.get("report.pdf").parse("report.pdf")
raw = factory.get("report.docx").parse("report.docx")
raw = factory.get("data.xlsx").parse("data.xlsx")
raw = factory.get("page.html").parse("page.html")
raw = factory.get("notes.md").parse("notes.md")

# Inspect what was parsed
print(f"Sections: {len(raw.sections)}")
for s in raw.sections:
    print(f"  L{s.level}  {s.title}  ({len(s.tables)} tables)")
```

### Custom PDF engine at runtime

```python
from docnest.parsers.factory import ParserFactory

factory = ParserFactory()

# Switch to PyMuPDF for this session
factory.set_pdf_engine("pymupdf")

# Switch back to Docling
factory.set_pdf_engine("docling")

# Register a completely custom parser
from docnest.parsers.base import IParser

class MyParser(IParser):
    def supports(self, path: str) -> bool:
        return path.endswith(".myformat")
    def parse(self, path: str):
        ...

factory.register(MyParser())
```

## 📄 PDF Parsing & Memory Guide

DOCNEST gives you two PDF parsers. Choose based on your document type and available RAM:

| | `DoclingPDFParser` | `PyMuPDFParser` |
|---|---|---|
| **Table quality** | ✅ ML-grade (TableFormer) | ⚠️ Heuristic (basic grids) |
| **Scanned PDFs** | ✅ OCR support | ❌ Text-only |
| **Heading detection** | ✅ Semantic (Docling layout) | ⚠️ Font-size heuristic |
| **RAM usage** | ~1–2 GB (ML models) | ~50 MB |
| **First-run download** | ~1 GB models | None |
| **Speed** | Slower | Very fast |
| **Best for** | Financial reports, contracts, research papers | Resumes, simple reports, fast prototyping |

### Memory management for large PDFs

`DoclingPDFParser` auto-chunks large PDFs — no quality loss, bounded RAM:

```python
# Auto-chunking kicks in for PDFs > 30 pages
# Peak RAM ≈ RAM_per_chunk, not RAM_for_whole_file
raw = DoclingPDFParser().parse("600-page-report.pdf")

# Tune chunk size to your machine
raw = DoclingPDFParser(chunk_pages=10).parse("report.pdf")   # 8 GB RAM
raw = DoclingPDFParser(chunk_pages=30).parse("report.pdf")   # 16 GB RAM (default)
raw = DoclingPDFParser(chunk_pages=60).parse("report.pdf")   # 32 GB+ RAM

# Page images are disabled by default (saves 50-200 MB per page)
# Only enable if you specifically need image assets
raw = DoclingPDFParser(generate_images=True).parse("report.pdf")
```

**How chunking works:**
1. PyMuPDF splits the PDF into N-page temp files
2. Docling runs with full ML quality on each chunk
3. Sections are merged — output is identical to processing the whole file at once
4. Temp files are deleted immediately after each chunk

If you hit `std::bad_alloc` or `OSError: paging file too small`, fall back to PyMuPDF:

```python
from docnest.parsers.pymupdf_pdf import PyMuPDFParser
raw = PyMuPDFParser().parse("huge.pdf")  # Zero ML, always succeeds
```

---

## 🧠 How It Works

DOCNEST runs a **6-stage normalization pipeline** on every document:

```
Stage 1  Structure Extraction    (Docling / PyMuPDF)   headings, tables, lists, hierarchy
Stage 2  Section Assignment      (rule-based)           §1, §1.1, §1.2 … every heading = §id
Stage 3  Table Normalization     (normaliser)           { caption, headers, rows[] } JSON
Stage 4  Section Summarization   (LLM)                  one sentence per section
Stage 5  Document Intelligence   (LLM)                  summary, insights[], key_numbers[]
Stage 6  Embedding + Quantize    (local)                BM25 keywords + float16 vectors
```

**Stages 1, 2, 3, and 6 run locally — zero LLM cost.**  
Stages 4–5 call an LLM **once per document**. Every future query benefits for free.

The result is a `.udf` file — a self-contained, portable knowledge base:

```
document.udf  (zip)
├── manifest.json      format version, embedding model, quantization, DocMeta
├── catalogue.json     section index + BM25 keywords + intelligence
├── content.json       full section text (loaded on demand)
├── embeddings.bin     flat float16 binary blob (~87% smaller than base64)
└── assets/            images, structured tables
```

> **`embeddings.bin`** is a flat binary blob: `N × D × 2 bytes` (float16).  
> Legacy base64-per-section format is still read for backward compatibility.

## ⚡ Query Resolution — Five Layers

DOCNEST resolves queries without sending full documents to the LLM:

| Layer | Mechanism | Tokens | Latency |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Pre-computed (summary, insights, key_numbers) | **0** | < 1 ms |
| 1 | BM25 + cosine → navigate to §section | **0** | < 20 ms |
| 2 | Section-scoped LLM (~300 tokens) | ~300 | 1–3 s |
| 3 | Multi-section synthesis (~900 tokens) | ~900 | 2–5 s |
| 4 | Full document fallback | ~4000+ | 5–15 s |
| — | Naive RAG (blind chunking) | ~4000–8000 | 5–15 s |

**Layers 0 and 1 answer ~70% of real-world questions with zero LLM cost.**
