This PR addresses major performance and architectural issues identified in the backend and frontend workflow.

Key Changes:

  1. Database Optimization: Added indexes to latitude and longitude columns in the Issue model to support efficient geospatial queries.
  2. Performance Improvements:
    • Implemented lazy loading for the local YOLO model in backend/local_ml_service.py. The model is now loaded only upon first request, significantly reducing application startup time.
    • Optimized backend/unified_detection_service.py to correctly check for local model availability without unnecessary overhead.
  3. Workflow & Logic Fixes:
    • Added a new endpoint GET /api/issues/{issue_id} to backend/main.py.
    • Refactored frontend/src/views/ActionView.jsx to poll this specific endpoint for action plan status, replacing the inefficient polling of the /recent list. This resolves a potential race condition and improves scalability.
    • Updated backend/main.py to invalidate the recent_issues_cache immediately after an action plan is generated in the background task.
  4. Bug Fixes:
    • Resolved ImportError and SyntaxError issues in backend/main.py, backend/pothole_detection.py, and backend/hf_service.py.
    • Fixed import paths in backend/unified_detection_service.py to correctly reference backend. modules.
  5. Documentation:
    • Updated README.md to reflect the actual split deployment architecture (Render for Backend, Netlify for Frontend) and documented new features like Local ML and Hybrid Architecture.

Verification:

  • Backend Tests: All 11 tests passed, including new integration tests for the single issue endpoint.
  • Frontend Verification: verification/verify_async_ui.py passed, confirming the Issue -> Generating -> Action Plan workflow operates correctly with the new polling mechanism.
  • Build: Frontend build verified successfully.

73-82: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Address deprecated file still in active use.

backend/hf_service.py is marked DEPRECATED ("use local_ml_service.py instead") but generate_image_caption is still imported and called in backend/main.py (line 762). The placeholder return of "Image description generated by AI" is misleading—either migrate the call site to the recommended local_ml_service.py equivalent, or return an empty string to match the error-case behavior (line 764-765 handles empty responses gracefully).

🤖 Fix all issues with AI agents
In `@backend/hf_service.py`:
- Line 89: Multiple single-line if-return statements like "if not
isinstance(results, list): return []" trigger Ruff E701; replace each one with a
multi-line if block (e.g., change to "if not isinstance(results, list):" newline
indent "return []") across hf_service.py wherever this pattern appears (search
for "if not isinstance(" and single-line returns) so the condition and the
return are on separate lines and satisfy the linter.

In `@backend/pothole_detection.py`:
- Around line 131-159: The code indexes results[0] without checking for empty
predictions from model.predict; modify the inference block (after calling
get_model() and model.predict in the function that builds detections) to check
if results is empty or has length 0 and return an empty detections list (or None
as per existing API) immediately before accessing results[0]; ensure you still
return the detections variable and keep the rest of the box-parsing logic
(references: get_model, model.predict, results, result, detections).

In `@backend/tests/test_single_issue.py`:
- Around line 1-9: The test imports backend.main (and app) at module import time
which triggers FRONTEND_URL validation; move the import of app into the pytest
fixture so the environment can be set first: in the fixture named client, set
os.environ['FRONTEND_URL'] (or use pytest's monkeypatch) before importing
backend.main and retrieving app, then construct and yield the TestClient; ensure
you no longer import app at top-level and reference backend.main only inside the
client fixture.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 7-11: In the README feature list, update the "Find My MLA" bullet
so the phrase "Maharashtra focused MVP" is hyphenated to "Maharashtra-focused
MVP"; edit the line that starts with "- **Find My MLA**: Locate your
constituency and representative details using pincode (Maharashtra focused MVP)"
to read "(Maharashtra-focused MVP)" to fix the grammar.
- Around line 114-116: Update the README environment variable guidance: change
the PYTHONPATH recommendation from `backend` to `.` (or state it can be omitted
when running from the repository root) because backend/main.py uses absolute
imports like `from backend.xxx import yyy` and the app is launched with `python
-m uvicorn backend.main:app`; ensure the README explicitly instructs setting
PYTHONPATH to `.` (or leaving it unset if running from repo root) so those
imports resolve correctly.
🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
backend/unified_detection_service.py (1)

216-222: Remove the no-op placeholder block.

It currently adds no value and can be dropped until real details are implemented.

🧹 Suggested cleanup
-        # Add local model details if available
-        if local_available:
-            try:
-                # Placeholder for future implementation
-                pass
-            except Exception:
-                pass
backend/main.py (1)

132-136: Avoid leaving commented-out migration calls in the lifecycle.

If migrations are handled elsewhere, remove the commented line to prevent drift.

🧹 Suggested cleanup
-    # migrate_db() # Assuming this is not needed or handled by Alembic/manually

- Delete `frontend/pnpm-lock.yaml` to resolve package manager conflicts on Netlify.
- Verified local build with `npm` successfully creates `frontend/dist`.

Pull request overview

This PR improves workflow scalability/performance by adding a single-issue fetch endpoint and switching the frontend polling mechanism to use it, while also adjusting local-vs-HF detection plumbing and updating documentation/verification artifacts.

Changes:

  • Added GET /api/issues/{issue_id} and updated frontend polling to query a single issue instead of /recent.
  • Adjusted backend detection imports/availability checks and added a backend integration test for the new endpoint.
  • Added DB indexes for Issue.latitude/Issue.longitude and updated README + verification artifacts.

migrate_db() is commented out during startup, and there’s no other migration mechanism in this repo (no Alembic). With this disabled, existing deployments won’t get schema/index updates (including the new lat/long indexes) unless the DB is recreated manually.

Consider reinstating a working migration step here (e.g., import and run the existing migrator) or add/point to the project’s official migration approach so existing DBs stay compatible.

In detect_potholes, the except block re-raises with raise e, which loses the original traceback context.

Prefer a bare raise to preserve the original stack trace for debugging.

detect_vandalism() falls back to from backend.hf_service import detect_vandalism_clip, but backend/hf_service.py does not define detect_vandalism_clip. This will raise an ImportError at runtime whenever the HF backend is selected.

Define detect_vandalism_clip in backend/hf_service.py (similar to the other *_clip helpers), or update this import to the correct function name.

Suggested change
from backend.hf_service import detect_vandalism_clip
