Summary by cubic

Strengthens blockchain integrity with stored previous hashes and robust verification, and adds a fast location safety score endpoint. Also stabilizes Render deployments.

  • New Features

    • Add previous_integrity_hash and parent_issue_id to Issue; create_issue sets them and verification checks chain continuity.
    • Add GET /api/location/safety-score returning a 0–100 score using bbox-filtered nearby issues and simple category weights.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Image MIME validation now handles missing python-magic safely.
    • Render deployment: remove python-magic; split python-jose and cryptography; startup logs warnings instead of exiting for non-critical env vars; remove PYTHONPATH from render.yaml to avoid import conflicts.

Written for commit 5d1111b. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR extends the issue tracking system with blockchain integrity verification enhancements and location-based safety scoring. New database columns support hash chaining (previous_integrity_hash) and issue hierarchies (parent_issue_id). The blockchain verification logic validates chain continuity and handles legacy data, while a new safety score endpoint computes location risk using nearby issues and severity weighting. Comprehensive test coverage and optional magic dependency support are included.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Database Schema Updates
backend/init_db.py, backend/models.py
Added two new columns to Issue table: previous_integrity_hash (VARCHAR, nullable) for hash chaining and parent_issue_id (INTEGER, ForeignKey, nullable) for issue linkage. Migration wrapped in try/except blocks with silent fallback.
Blockchain Verification & Safety Scoring
backend/routers/issues.py
Enhanced verify_blockchain_integrity to validate chain continuity using stored previous_integrity_hash; added legacy data fallback support. Expanded create_issue to populate parent_issue_id and previous_integrity_hash when linking issues. Introduced GET /api/location/safety-score endpoint computing 0-100 risk scores using severity-weighted penalty system with bounding-box pre-filtering.
Test Suite
backend/tests/test_blockchain_and_safety.py
New test module with in-memory SQLite and FastAPI TestClient validating blockchain verification chain integrity and safety score calculations across multiple issue scenarios and locations.
Utility Enhancement
backend/utils.py
Added optional python-magic dependency support via guarded import with HAS_MAGIC flag; MIME-type validation gracefully bypasses when dependency unavailable.

🤖 Fix all issues with AI agents
In `@backend/routers/issues.py`:
- Around line 625-657: The legacy-fallback logic is unreachable because
stored_prev_hash is derived from current_issue.previous_integrity_hash, so the
inner check "if not current_issue.previous_integrity_hash and actual_prev_hash"
inside the "if stored_prev_hash and stored_prev_hash != actual_prev_hash" branch
never runs; move the legacy verification to run before evaluating chain_intact
(or change the condition to check legacy when stored_prev_hash is empty), i.e.,
if current_issue.previous_integrity_hash is falsy and actual_prev_hash is
present then compute legacy_hash_content =
f"{current_issue.description}|{current_issue.category}|{actual_prev_hash}" and
if that matches current_issue.integrity_hash, set stored_prev_hash =
actual_prev_hash, computed_hash = current_issue.integrity_hash, data_intact =
True and chain_intact = True; ensure these checks occur prior to or instead of
the existing "stored_prev_hash and stored_prev_hash != actual_prev_hash" block
so legacy records validate correctly.
- Around line 192-194: The creation branch currently runs only when
deduplication_info is None or not deduplication_info.has_nearby_issues, which
guarantees linked_issue_id is None; flip the boolean so the new issue creation
runs when nearby issues exist (i.e., change the condition to check
deduplication_info is None OR deduplication_info.has_nearby_issues) so that
parent_issue_id gets assigned the previously computed linked_issue_id; ensure
you update the condition that guards the block which constructs the issue (the
references: deduplication_info, deduplication_info.has_nearby_issues,
linked_issue_id, parent_issue_id) so the parent_issue_id assignment is
effective.

In `@backend/tests/test_blockchain_and_safety.py`:
- Around line 34-43: The test mutates app.dependency_overrides at import time
(app.dependency_overrides[get_db] = override_get_db) causing the in-memory DB
override to leak across modules; move that mutation into the client fixture
(inside the with TestClient(app) block or just before it), save the original
override (orig = app.dependency_overrides.get(get_db)), set
app.dependency_overrides[get_db] = override_get_db for the duration of the
fixture, and restore app.dependency_overrides[get_db] = orig (or delete the key)
in the fixture teardown after Base.metadata.drop_all(bind=engine) so other tests
are unaffected.
🧹 Nitpick comments (4)
backend/utils.py (1)

11-15: Consider logging when python-magic is unavailable.

When magic isn't installed, MIME-type validation is silently skipped, falling back to PIL-only validation. A startup warning would help operators notice the reduced security posture.

🔧 Proposed change
 try:
     import magic
     HAS_MAGIC = True
 except ImportError:
     HAS_MAGIC = False
+
+import logging as _logging
+_logger = _logging.getLogger(__name__)
+if not HAS_MAGIC:
+    _logger.warning("python-magic not installed; MIME-type validation will be skipped.")

(Or reuse the existing logger defined below on line 24 by moving this check after that declaration.)

backend/init_db.py (1)

127-139: Migrations follow the established pattern — minor logging inconsistency.

The new migration blocks use print() (lines 130, 137) while several other blocks in this file use logger.info(). This is a pre-existing inconsistency, but if you're touching these lines, it's a good opportunity to unify.

🔧 Optional: switch to logger
-                print("Migrated database: Added previous_integrity_hash column.")
+                logger.info("Migrated database: Added previous_integrity_hash column.")
-                print("Migrated database: Added parent_issue_id column.")
+                logger.info("Migrated database: Added parent_issue_id column.")
backend/tests/test_blockchain_and_safety.py (1)

45-101: Tests are order-dependent due to shared module-scoped DB state.

Both test_safety_score and test_blockchain_verification share the same in-memory database (module-scoped fixture). Issues created in test_safety_score persist into test_blockchain_verification, so "Genesis Issue" is not actually the first record. This works today because the verification logic only checks the immediately preceding issue, but it's fragile. Consider using function-scoped fixtures or explicitly cleaning data between tests.

Also, two minor static-analysis items:

  • Line 116: issue1_id is assigned but never used — either remove the assignment or add an assertion on it.
  • Line 142: Prefer assert data["is_valid"] is True over == True.
Quick fixes for static analysis
-    issue1_id = response1.json()["id"]
+    response1.json()["id"]  # ensure id is returned
-    assert data["is_valid"] == True
+    assert data["is_valid"] is True

Also applies to: 102-143

backend/routers/issues.py (1)

726-805: Align severity weights with actual IssueCategory enum values.

The severity_weights dictionary uses category names that don't match the IssueCategory enum in backend/schemas.py. The enum defines: ROAD, WATER, STREETLIGHT, GARBAGE, COLLEGE_INFRA, and WOMEN_SAFETY, but severity_weights only explicitly handles "garbage" and "streetlight". Missing categories default to weight 5, underrepresenting critical issues:

  • "water" should align with the 20-point weight given to "flood"
  • "road" lacks explicit weighting despite being infrastructure
  • "college infra" should align with the 15-point weight given to "infrastructure"
  • "women safety" is missing entirely despite being a distinct category

Update severity_weights to use the actual enum values (case-normalized) or document why the discrepancy exists.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Module-level dependency override leaks into other test modules.

app.dependency_overrides is mutated at import time (line 34), which means any other test module sharing the same app instance will inadvertently use the in-memory DB. Move the override into the fixture and restore it on teardown.

The parent_issue_id field will always be None for created issues. The code only creates a new issue when deduplication_info is None or not deduplication_info.has_nearby_issues (line 169), which means there are no nearby issues. However, linked_issue_id is only set when nearby issues ARE found (line 148). This creates a logical impossibility where parent_issue_id can never be set to a non-None value for created issues.

Based on the PR description mentioning "duplicate tracking", it seems the intention might be to:

  1. Allow duplicate issues to be created with status='duplicate' and parent_issue_id set, OR
  2. Remove the parent_issue_id parameter from Issue creation since it will always be None

Please clarify the intended behavior for duplicate tracking.

The parent_issue_id column is defined with a ForeignKey constraint to issues.id, but no relationship is defined on the Issue model. While the foreign key constraint will work at the database level, SQLAlchemy best practices recommend defining a relationship for proper ORM usage. Consider adding a relationship definition such as:

parent_issue = relationship("Issue", remote_side=[id], backref="child_issues")

This would enable easier querying of parent-child relationships and follows the pattern used elsewhere in the codebase (e.g., Grievance.audit_logs at line 138).

The 'road' category is not included in the severity_weights dictionary, so it will use the default weight of 5. The test at line 97 expects this behavior (Road with weight 5). However, there are specific road-related categories like 'pothole' (weight 10) and 'blocked' (weight 15) that ARE defined. Consider explicitly adding 'road': 5 to the dictionary for clarity and to make the default behavior explicit, or document why 'road' uses the default weight while specific road issues have their own weights.

The safety score endpoint performs a synchronous blocking database query without using run_in_threadpool. While this is consistent with the get_nearby_issues endpoint pattern, other read-heavy endpoints in this file (like verify_blockchain_integrity at line 616) use async with run_in_threadpool for better concurrency. Consider making this endpoint async and wrapping the DB query in run_in_threadpool to prevent blocking the event loop, especially since this endpoint could be called frequently from frontend applications.

Security-critical MIME type validation is silently skipped when python-magic is not installed. According to stored memories, python-magic should be imported with try/except fallback, but security-critical MIME validation must not be silently skipped. When HAS_MAGIC is False, the code proceeds directly to PIL validation without any MIME type checking, which could allow malicious files disguised as images to bypass the first line of defense.

Consider either:

  1. Raise an HTTPException during startup if python-magic is not available
  2. Implement a fallback MIME check using the file extension and PIL format validation
  3. Document that python-magic is a required dependency and fail explicitly if not present during security checks

The outer `if stored_prev_hash` requires `current_issue.previous_integrity_hash` to be truthy (since `stored_prev_hash = current_issue.previous_integrity_hash or ""`), but the inner condition `if not current_issue.previous_integrity_hash` requires it to be falsy — a contradiction. If legacy backward compatibility is needed, this logic must be restructured (e.g., move the legacy check to an `else` branch when `stored_prev_hash` is empty).</violation>

P2: Self-referential foreign key missing ondelete behavior. Deleting a parent issue will raise an IntegrityError if any child issue references it via parent_issue_id. Since the column is nullable, ondelete="SET NULL" is likely the intended behavior—child issues would simply lose their parent link rather than blocking deletion.

P2: parent_issue_id will always be None here. A new issue is only created when no nearby issues are found (or deduplication failed), but linked_issue_id is only set to a non-None value when nearby issues are found (which skips issue creation). This field is effectively dead — if the intent was to store a parent link, the logic needs reworking.

Fix with Cubic

…startup validation

- Removed `python-magic` from `backend/requirements-render.txt` to avoid build failures due to missing `libmagic`.
- Split `python-jose[cryptography]` into `python-jose` and `cryptography` in `requirements-render.txt`.
- Modified `start-backend.py` to log warnings instead of exiting when non-critical environment variables are missing, ensuring the service can start and report health in production.

<violation number="1" location="start-backend.py:34">
P1: Commenting out `return False` causes the function to fall through and print `"✅ Environment validation passed"` even when required variables are missing, producing contradictory log output. The `main()` guard (`if not validate_environment(): sys.exit(1)`) also becomes dead code since the function now always returns `True`.

If the intent is to allow startup with missing vars, the function should at minimum skip the "validation passed" message and clearly indicate degraded mode. Consider returning a status or adjusting the log output accordingly.</violation>

- Removed `PYTHONPATH` environment variable setting from `render.yaml`. This prevents conflicts with the dynamic path setup in `start-backend.py` and avoids potential import errors where `backend` is treated as the root package incorrectly.
- Retained the dependency fixes (python-magic removal, python-jose split) from the previous commit as they are correct.
