## ⚙️ Configuration

### Phase 1: Performance (Automatic)

No configuration needed. Caching and indexes work automatically.

**To disable caching** (not recommended):
```python
# In settings.py
CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.dummy.DummyCache',
    }
}
```

### Phase 2: Security

**Rate Limiting** (configured in `src/paperless/middleware.py`):
```python
rate_limits = {
    "/api/documents/": (100, 60),  # 100 requests per minute
    "/api/search/": (30, 60),
    "/api/upload/": (10, 60),
    "/api/bulk_edit/": (20, 60),
    "default": (200, 60),
}
```

**To disable rate limiting** (for testing):
```python
# In settings.py
# Comment out the middleware
MIDDLEWARE = [
    # ...
    # "paperless.middleware.RateLimitMiddleware",  # Disabled
    # ...
]
```

**Security Headers** (automatic):
- HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, etc.

**File Validation** (automatic):
- Max file size: 500MB
- Allowed types: PDF, Office docs, images
- Blocks: .exe, .dll, .bat, etc.

### Phase 3: AI/ML

**Default Models** (download automatically on first use):
- Classifier: `distilbert-base-uncased` (~132MB)
- NER: `dbmdz/bert-large-cased-finetuned-conll03-english` (~1.3GB)
- Semantic Search: `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` (~80MB)

**GPU Support** (automatic if available):
```bash
# Check GPU availability
python -c "import torch; print(f'CUDA: {torch.cuda.is_available()}')"
```

**Pre-download models** (optional but recommended):
```python
from documents.ml import TransformerDocumentClassifier, DocumentNER, SemanticSearch

# Download models
classifier = TransformerDocumentClassifier()
ner = DocumentNER()
search = SemanticSearch()
```

### Phase 4: Advanced OCR

**Tesseract** must be installed system-wide (see Installation).

**Models** download automatically on first use.

## 📖 Usage Examples

### Phase 1: Performance

```python
# Automatic - no code changes needed
# Just enjoy faster queries!

# Optional: Manually cache metadata
from documents.caching import cache_metadata_lists
cache_metadata_lists()

# Optional: Clear caches
from documents.caching import clear_metadata_list_caches
clear_metadata_list_caches()
```

### Phase 2: Security

```python
# File validation (automatic in upload views)
from paperless.security import validate_uploaded_file

try:
    result = validate_uploaded_file(uploaded_file)
    print(f"Valid: {result['mime_type']}")
except FileValidationError as e:
    print(f"Invalid: {e}")

# Sanitize filenames
from paperless.security import sanitize_filename
safe_name = sanitize_filename("../../etc/passwd")  # Returns "etc_passwd"
```

### Phase 3: AI/ML

#### Document Classification
```python
from documents.ml import TransformerDocumentClassifier

classifier = TransformerDocumentClassifier()

# Train on your documents
documents = ["This is an invoice...", "Contract between..."]
labels = [0, 1]  # 0=invoice, 1=contract
classifier.train(documents, labels, epochs=3)

# Predict
text = "Invoice #12345 from Acme Corp"
predicted_class, confidence = classifier.predict(text)
print(f"Class: {predicted_class}, Confidence: {confidence:.2%}")

# Batch predict
predictions = classifier.predict_batch([text1, text2, text3])

# Save model
classifier.save_model("/path/to/model")

# Load model
classifier = TransformerDocumentClassifier.load_model("/path/to/model")
```

#### Named Entity Recognition
```python
from documents.ml import DocumentNER

ner = DocumentNER()

# Extract all entities
text = "Invoice from Acme Corp, dated 01/15/2024, total $1,234.56"
entities = ner.extract_entities(text)

print(entities['organizations'])  # ['Acme Corp']
print(entities['dates'])  # ['01/15/2024']
print(entities['amounts'])  # ['$1,234.56']

# Extract invoice-specific data
invoice_data = ner.extract_invoice_data(text)
print(invoice_data['vendor'])  # 'Acme Corp'
print(invoice_data['total'])  # '$1,234.56'
print(invoice_data['date'])  # '01/15/2024'

# Get suggestions for document
suggestions = ner.suggest_correspondent(text)  # 'Acme Corp'
tags = ner.suggest_tags(text)  # ['invoice', 'payment']
```

#### Semantic Search
```python
from documents.ml import SemanticSearch

search = SemanticSearch()

# Index documents
documents = [
    {"id": 1, "text": "Medical expenses receipt"},
    {"id": 2, "text": "Employment contract"},
    {"id": 3, "text": "Hospital invoice"},
]
search.index_documents(documents)

# Search by meaning
results = search.search("healthcare costs", top_k=5)
for doc_id, score in results:
    print(f"Document {doc_id}: {score:.2%} match")

# Find similar documents
similar = search.find_similar_documents(doc_id=1, top_k=5)

# Save index
search.save_index("/path/to/index")

# Load index
search = SemanticSearch.load_index("/path/to/index")
```

### Phase 4: Advanced OCR

#### Table Extraction
```python
from documents.ocr import TableExtractor

extractor = TableExtractor()

# Extract tables from image
tables = extractor.extract_tables_from_image("invoice.png")

for i, table in enumerate(tables):
    print(f"Table {i+1}:")
    print(f"  Confidence: {table['detection_score']:.2%}")
    print(f"  Data:\n{table['data']}")  # pandas DataFrame

# Extract from PDF
tables = extractor.extract_tables_from_pdf("document.pdf")

# Export to Excel
extractor.save_tables_to_excel(tables, "output.xlsx")

# Export to CSV
extractor.save_tables_to_csv(tables[0]['data'], "table1.csv")

# Batch processing
image_files = ["doc1.png", "doc2.png", "doc3.png"]
all_tables = extractor.batch_process(image_files)
```

#### Handwriting Recognition
```python
from documents.ocr import HandwritingRecognizer

recognizer = HandwritingRecognizer()

# Recognize lines
lines = recognizer.recognize_lines("handwritten.jpg")

for line in lines:
    print(f"{line['text']} (confidence: {line['confidence']:.2%})")

# Recognize form fields (with known positions)
fields = [
    {'name': 'Name', 'bbox': [100, 50, 400, 80]},
    {'name': 'Date', 'bbox': [100, 100, 300, 130]},
    {'name': 'Signature', 'bbox': [100, 200, 400, 250]},
]
field_values = recognizer.recognize_form_fields("form.jpg", fields)
print(field_values)  # {'Name': 'John Doe', 'Date': '01/15/2024', ...}

# Batch processing
images = ["note1.jpg", "note2.jpg", "note3.jpg"]
all_lines = recognizer.batch_process(images)
```

#### Form Detection
```python
from documents.ocr import FormFieldDetector

detector = FormFieldDetector()

# Detect all fields automatically
fields = detector.detect_form_fields("form.jpg")

for field in fields:
    print(f"{field['label']}: {field['value']} ({field['type']})")

# Extract as dictionary
data = detector.extract_form_data("form.jpg", output_format='dict')
print(data)  # {'Name': 'John Doe', 'Agree': True, ...}

# Extract as JSON
json_data = detector.extract_form_data("form.jpg", output_format='json')

# Extract as DataFrame
df = detector.extract_form_data("form.jpg", output_format='dataframe')

# Detect checkboxes only
checkboxes = detector.detect_checkboxes("form.jpg")
for cb in checkboxes:
    print(f"{cb['label']}: {'☑' if cb['checked'] else '☐'}")
```

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Phase 1: Performance

**Issue:** Queries still slow
- **Solution:** Ensure migration ran: `python src/manage.py showmigrations documents`
- Check indexes exist in database
- Verify Redis is running for cache

### Phase 2: Security

**Issue:** Rate limiting not working
- **Solution:** Ensure Redis is configured and running
- Check middleware is in MIDDLEWARE list in settings.py
- Verify cache backend is Redis, not dummy

**Issue:** Files being rejected
- **Solution:** Check file type is in ALLOWED_MIME_TYPES
- Review logs for specific validation error
- Adjust MAX_FILE_SIZE if needed (src/paperless/security.py)

### Phase 3: AI/ML

**Issue:** Import errors
- **Solution:** Install dependencies: `pip install transformers torch sentence-transformers`
- Verify installation: `pip list | grep -E "transformers|torch|sentence"`

**Issue:** Model download fails
- **Solution:** Check internet connection
- Try pre-downloading: `huggingface-cli download model_name`
- Set HF_HOME environment variable for custom cache location

**Issue:** Out of memory
- **Solution:** Use smaller models (distilbert instead of bert-large)
- Reduce batch size
- Use CPU instead of GPU for small tasks

### Phase 4: Advanced OCR

**Issue:** Tesseract not found
- **Solution:** Install system package: `sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr`
- Verify: `tesseract --version`
- Add to PATH on Windows

**Issue:** Import errors
- **Solution:** Install dependencies: `pip install opencv-python pytesseract pillow`
- Verify: `pip list | grep -E "opencv|pytesseract|pillow"`

**Issue:** Poor OCR quality
- **Solution:** Improve image quality (300+ DPI)
- Use grayscale conversion
- Apply preprocessing (threshold, noise removal)
- Ensure good lighting and contrast
