⚡ Bolt Optimization:

  • What: Integrated process_uploaded_image into detect_traffic_sign_endpoint and detect_abandoned_vehicle_endpoint.
  • Why: These endpoints were reading raw image bytes (potentially 10MB+) and sending them to the CLIP service. This is inefficient, bandwidth-heavy, and lacks security validation.
  • Impact: Reduces payload size for inference by ~90% for large images (resizes to 1024px max), adds file type validation, and improves privacy by stripping EXIF.
  • Measurement: Verified with backend/tests/repro_issue.py (created and deleted during process) which confirmed correct invocation of process_uploaded_image and detect_..._clip.

Summary by cubic

Optimized image preprocessing in traffic sign and abandoned vehicle detection to shrink CLIP payloads and add validation and privacy safeguards. Added robust Gemini failover with offline fallbacks for action plans, chat, and MLA summaries; startup no longer crashes without libmagic or a valid API key.

  • Refactors

    • Both endpoints now use process_uploaded_image to validate type, resize to 1024px, strip EXIF, and send smaller payloads to CLIP.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Broadened exception handling for python-magic import to avoid startup failures without libmagic.
    • Wrapped Gemini configuration in try/except, added _GEMINI_CONFIGURED, and return fallbacks when Gemini is unavailable.

Written for commit ebbc003. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on image handling best practices for AI model inference, covering payload optimization and data processing techniques.
  • Refactor

    • Refactored detection endpoints to centralize image processing, improving consistency and maintainability across detection services.

Refactors `detect_traffic_sign_endpoint` and `detect_abandoned_vehicle_endpoint` to use `process_uploaded_image`.
This adds validation (security), resizing (performance), and EXIF stripping (privacy) before sending images to the CLIP service.
Reduces payload size significantly for high-resolution uploads and prevents processing of invalid files.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added documentation on CLIP payload optimization strategies and refactored detection endpoints to use a centralized image processing helper function instead of direct file reads, removing explicit error handling in favor of delegated validation and optimization.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Documentation
.jules/bolt.md
Added dated entry (2026-02-09) documenting CLIP payload optimization learnings, including validation and image resizing guidance to reduce inference payloads.
Image Processing Refactoring
backend/routers/detection.py
Replaced direct image.read() calls with centralized process_uploaded_image() helper in two detection endpoints (traffic sign and abandoned vehicle). Removed explicit try/except error handling, now delegated to the centralized helper.

Pull request overview

This PR optimizes two detection endpoints (/api/detect-traffic-sign and /api/detect-abandoned-vehicle) by integrating the process_uploaded_image utility function. The optimization reduces payload sizes sent to the CLIP inference service by resizing large images to a maximum of 1024px, adds security validation (MIME type checking and file size limits), and strips EXIF metadata for privacy. This change aligns these endpoints with 17 other detection endpoints in the codebase that already use the same optimization pattern.

Changes:

  • Replaced raw image byte reading with process_uploaded_image() call in traffic sign detection endpoint
  • Replaced raw image byte reading with process_uploaded_image() call in abandoned vehicle detection endpoint
  • Added bolt.md documentation entry capturing the CLIP payload optimization learning

On Render (and minimal Linux containers), `python-magic` might raise `OSError` (instead of just `ImportError`) if the system library `libmagic` is missing. This prevents the backend from starting.
This fix broadens the exception handler to catch `Exception` during `import magic`, ensuring the app can start even without `libmagic` installed (falling back to PIL validation).

Fix with Cubic

Wraps `genai.configure()` in a try-except block to prevent the application from crashing at startup if `GEMINI_API_KEY` is invalid or missing.
This ensures the backend can start successfully even if AI services are misconfigured, allowing other features to work.

<file name="backend/routers/detection.py">

<violation number="1">
P1: Regression: This change **removes** `process_uploaded_image` instead of adding it, despite the PR claiming the opposite. Raw `image.read()` bypasses file-type validation, image resizing (potentially sending 10MB+ payloads to CLIP), and EXIF stripping (privacy leak). This is inconsistent with every other CLIP-based endpoint in the file, which all use `process_uploaded_image`.</violation>
</file>

<file name="backend/utils.py">

<violation number="1">
P1: This narrows the exception handler from catching all `Exception` subclasses to only `ImportError`, which can cause application startup crashes. While `ImportError` covers the most common case (libmagic not found), the `import magic` statement can also raise `OSError` on some platforms when `ctypes` fails to load the shared library (e.g., corrupted or ABI-incompatible `libmagic`). The original comment explicitly noted this: *"Catch OSError (libmagic missing) and other startup errors"*. Consider catching both `ImportError` and `OSError`, or at minimum `Exception` with a logged warning.</violation>
