# Changelog All notable changes to the Invoice Field Extraction project will be documented in this file. The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). ## [Unreleased] ### Added - Phase 1: Security & Infrastructure (2026-01-22) #### Security Enhancements - **Environment Variable Management**: Added `python-dotenv` for secure configuration management - Created `.env.example` template file for configuration reference - Created `.env` file for actual credentials (gitignored) - Updated `config.py` to load database password from environment variables - Added validation to ensure `DB_PASSWORD` is set at startup - Files modified: `config.py`, `requirements.txt` - New files: `.env`, `.env.example` - Tests: `tests/test_config.py` (7 tests, all passing) - **SQL Injection Prevention**: Fixed SQL injection vulnerabilities in database queries - Replaced f-string formatting with parameterized queries in `LIMIT` clauses - Updated `get_all_documents_summary()` to use `%s` placeholder for LIMIT parameter - Updated `get_failed_matches()` to use `%s` placeholder for LIMIT parameter - Files modified: `src/data/db.py` (lines 246, 298) - Tests: `tests/test_db_security.py` (9 tests, all passing) #### Code Quality - **Exception Hierarchy**: Created comprehensive custom exception system - Added base class `InvoiceExtractionError` with message and details support - Added specific exception types: - `PDFProcessingError` - PDF rendering/conversion errors - `OCRError` - OCR processing errors - `ModelInferenceError` - YOLO model errors - `FieldValidationError` - Field validation errors (with field-specific attributes) - `DatabaseError` - Database operation errors - `ConfigurationError` - Configuration errors - `PaymentLineParseError` - Payment line parsing errors - `CustomerNumberParseError` - Customer number parsing errors - `DataLoadError` - Data loading errors - `AnnotationError` - Annotation generation errors - New file: `src/exceptions.py` - Tests: `tests/test_exceptions.py` (16 tests, all passing) ### Testing - Added 32 new tests across 3 test files - Configuration tests: 7 tests - SQL injection prevention tests: 9 tests - Exception hierarchy tests: 16 tests - All tests passing (32/32) ### Documentation - Created `docs/CODE_REVIEW_REPORT.md` - Comprehensive code quality analysis (550+ lines) - Created `docs/REFACTORING_PLAN.md` - Detailed 3-phase refactoring plan (600+ lines) - Created `CHANGELOG.md` - Project changelog (this file) ### Changed - **Configuration Loading**: Database configuration now loads from environment variables instead of hardcoded values - Breaking change: Requires `.env` file with `DB_PASSWORD` set - Migration: Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and set your database password ### Security - **Fixed**: Database password no longer stored in plain text in `config.py` - **Fixed**: SQL injection vulnerabilities in LIMIT clauses (2 instances) ### Technical Debt Addressed - Eliminated security vulnerability: plaintext password storage - Reduced SQL injection attack surface - Improved error handling granularity with custom exceptions --- ### Added - Phase 2: Parser Refactoring (2026-01-22) #### Unified Parser Modules - **Payment Line Parser**: Created dedicated payment line parsing module - Handles Swedish payment line format: `# # <Öre> > ##` - Tolerates common OCR errors: spaces in numbers, missing symbols, spaces in check digits - Supports 4 parsing patterns: full format, no amount, alternative, account-only - Returns structured `PaymentLineData` with parsed fields - New file: `src/inference/payment_line_parser.py` (90 lines, 92% coverage) - Tests: `tests/test_payment_line_parser.py` (23 tests, all passing) - Eliminates 1st code duplication (payment line parsing logic) - **Customer Number Parser**: Created dedicated customer number parsing module - Handles Swedish customer number formats: `JTY 576-3`, `DWQ 211-X`, `FFL 019N`, etc. - Uses Strategy Pattern with 5 pattern classes: - `LabeledPattern` - Explicit labels (highest priority, 0.98 confidence) - `DashFormatPattern` - Standard format with dash (0.95 confidence) - `NoDashFormatPattern` - Format without dash, adds dash automatically (0.90 confidence) - `CompactFormatPattern` - Compact format without spaces (0.75 confidence) - `GenericAlphanumericPattern` - Fallback generic pattern (variable confidence) - Excludes Swedish postal codes (`SE XXX XX` format) - Returns highest confidence match - New file: `src/inference/customer_number_parser.py` (154 lines, 92% coverage) - Tests: `tests/test_customer_number_parser.py` (32 tests, all passing) - Reduces `_normalize_customer_number` complexity (127 lines → will use 5-10 lines after integration) ### Testing Summary **Phase 1 Tests** (32 tests): - Configuration tests: 7 tests ([test_config.py](tests/test_config.py)) -
