## [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)

### 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: `# <OCR> # <Kronor> <Öre> <Type> > <Account>#<Check>#`
  - 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)

## Notes

### Breaking Changes
- **v2.x**: Requires `.env` file with database credentials
  - Action required: Create `.env` file based on `.env.example`
  - Affected: All deployments, CI/CD pipelines

### Migration Guide

#### From v1.x to v2.x (Environment Variables)
1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`:
   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env
   ```

2. Edit `.env` and set your database password:
   ```
   DB_PASSWORD=your_actual_password_here
   ```

3. Install new dependency:
   ```bash
   pip install python-dotenv
   ```

4. Verify configuration loads correctly:
   ```bash
   python -c "import config; print('Config loaded successfully')"
   ```
