This PR implements the "Daily Civic Intelligence Refinement Engine" as requested.
It introduces a self-improving loop where the system analyzes daily issues, detects trends, and optimizes its own parameters (severity weights and duplicate detection radius) based on manual feedback (escalations) and data patterns.

Key components:

  1. AdaptiveWeights: A singleton managing data/modelWeights.json, allowing dynamic updates to severity rules and duplicate detection.
  2. TrendAnalyzer: Analyzes issues from the last 24h to find keywords, spikes, and clusters (using DBSCAN or grid fallback).
  3. CivicIntelligenceEngine: Orchestrates the daily job. It runs the analyzer, updates weights if manual severity upgrades are found, adjusts duplicate radius based on "near misses", and calculates a daily "Civic Intelligence Index".
  4. Daily Refinement Job: A script in backend/scheduler/ intended to be run daily via cron.

The system is fully local and uses existing data structures. Tests cover the core logic.

Summary by cubic

Implemented a daily refinement engine that analyzes the last 24 hours of issues, learns from manual escalations, auto-tunes severity weights and duplicate radius, and saves a Civic Intelligence Index snapshot each day. Refactored priority and duplicate checks to use adaptive weights, and fully sanitized logging to avoid sensitive data exposure.

  • New Features

    • Adaptive weights stored in data/modelWeights.json with category boosts and adjustable duplicate radius.
    • Trend analysis for keywords, category spikes, and geographic hotspots (DBSCAN with grid fallback).
    • Daily engine that applies learning from severity upgrades and near-duplicate patterns, and writes snapshots to data/dailySnapshots.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Removed all dynamic result logging in civic_intelligence and daily job; now only static success messages are logged to satisfy CodeQL.
    • Safer access in civic_intelligence via .get() to prevent errors and limit sensitive logging.
    • Ensured scikit-learn is optional; DBSCAN handling falls back gracefully when unavailable.

Written for commit d75abfc. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Adaptive configuration system for severity, urgency, categories and spatial deduplication, driven by persisted weights.
    • Daily civic intelligence refinement that analyzes trends, adjusts weights and duplicate radius, and saves daily snapshots (Civic Index and hotspots).
    • Trend analysis with keyword extraction, category spikes and geographic hotspot detection.
  • Tests

    • Added unit tests covering adaptive weights, civic intelligence workflows, and trend analysis.

- Added `backend/adaptive_weights.py` to manage dynamic severity weights and duplicate search radius.
- Added `backend/trend_analyzer.py` to detect top keywords, category spikes, and geographic hotspots.
- Added `backend/civic_intelligence.py` to orchestrate daily analysis, update weights, and calculate Civic Intelligence Index.
- Added `backend/scheduler/daily_refinement_job.py` as a standalone script for cron execution.
- Refactored `backend/priority_engine.py` to use `AdaptiveWeights` instead of hardcoded rules.
- Refactored `backend/routers/issues.py` to use dynamic duplicate search radius.
- Added unit tests for new components.
- Initialized `data/modelWeights.json` with default values.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an adaptive weights system, trend analysis, and a daily civic-intelligence refinement workflow; integrates adaptive configuration into priority scoring and issue deduplication; includes scheduler, tests, and sample snapshot/config data.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Adaptive Weights Management
backend/adaptive_weights.py, data/modelWeights.json, backend/tests/test_adaptive_weights.py
New AdaptiveWeights singleton: loads/persists modelWeights.json, exposes severity/urgency/category configs, duplicate_search_radius, and category_weights; provides mutators and immediate persistence; tests cover loading, persistence, and updates.
Trend Analysis
backend/trend_analyzer.py, backend/tests/test_trend_analyzer.py
New TrendAnalyzer class and trend_analyzer instance: extracts top keywords, detects category spikes, and identifies geographic hotspots via DBSCAN or grid fallback; tests cover keyword extraction, empty results, and spike detection.
Civic Intelligence Engine
backend/civic_intelligence.py, backend/tests/test_civic_intelligence.py
New CivicIntelligenceEngine and civic_engine instance: daily refine flow (trend analysis, severity weight optimization using EscalationAudit, duplicate radius adjustment, civic index calc, snapshot persistence); tests mock external deps and assert metrics and weight updates.
Priority Engine Integration
backend/priority_engine.py
PriorityEngine now reads weights via properties backed by adaptive_weights (severity_keywords, urgency_patterns, categories); analyze applies adaptive category boosts and recalculates urgency using adaptive data.
Issue Router Integration
backend/routers/issues.py
create_issue now uses adaptive_weights.duplicate_search_radius for spatial deduplication/search instead of a fixed constant.
Scheduler / Runner
backend/scheduler/daily_refinement_job.py
New daily job script creating DB session, invoking civic_engine.refine_daily(db), logging summary, and handling errors/cleanup; includes main() entrypoint.
Sample Snapshot
data/dailySnapshots/2026-02-20.json
Adds example daily snapshot JSON showing index, trends, and weights_version for reference/testing.

Pull request overview

Implements a daily “Civic Intelligence” refinement loop that analyzes the last 24h of issues, adjusts prioritization/deduplication parameters via a JSON-backed weights singleton, and persists a daily snapshot.

Changes:

  • Add AdaptiveWeights (JSON-backed singleton) and wire it into PriorityEngine and issue deduplication radius.
  • Introduce TrendAnalyzer + CivicIntelligenceEngine to compute trends, adjust weights/radius, and write daily snapshots.
  • Add a runnable daily cron-style job plus unit tests for the new components.

SNAPSHOT_DIR is a relative path (data/dailySnapshots). When this engine is invoked from a cron/script whose working directory isn’t the repo root, snapshots will be written to an unexpected location (or fail). Consider deriving an absolute path from the project root / this file’s directory (or accept a configurable snapshot dir).

DATA_FILE is defined as a relative path (data/modelWeights.json). If the app/job runs with a different working directory (e.g., cron), it may read/write a different weights file than intended. Prefer resolving this to an absolute path based on the repository/project root (or make it configurable via env var).

This script adjusts sys.path but doesn’t change the working directory. Since AdaptiveWeights/CivicIntelligenceEngine use relative paths under data/, running this job “from anywhere” (as the comment suggests) can read/write files in the wrong directory. Consider os.chdir(project_root) (early) or passing absolute paths/config into the engine.

5-42: _save_snapshot is not mocked in test_refine_daily — the test writes to disk during CI.

refine_daily calls self._save_snapshot(index_data, trends) which creates a file under data/dailySnapshots/<today>.json. Without patching this, every test run:

  1. Creates an actual file on disk (CI artifact pollution).
  2. Fails if data/dailySnapshots/ doesn't exist in the CI environment.
  3. Reads the snapshot directory in _get_previous_score() (also unpatched), which can hit the invalid JSON file already committed (flagged separately).

62-76: Test result is correct but doesn't assert on cluster_hotspots, and the clustering path depends on sklearn availability.

The comment (lines 62–64) acknowledges that DBSCAN vs grid-fallback is non-deterministic based on sklearn's presence. The current assertions don't cover cluster_hotspots, so the test passes regardless.

data/modelWeights.json (1)

1-90: data/modelWeights.json duplicates the hardcoded defaults in AdaptiveWeights._set_defaults() — two sources of truth.

_set_defaults() (backend/adaptive_weights.py lines 49–138) and this file contain identical data. If one is updated without the other, behavior silently diverges: when the file exists the JSON values are used; when it is absent (new environment, first clone) the in-code defaults apply. The system would behave differently in two deployment environments despite appearing identical in code review.

Consider one of these options:

  • Remove the hardcoded defaults from _set_defaults() and have it write this file on first run (save_weights() after _set_defaults()), making this file the single source of truth.
  • Or remove this committed file and always derive defaults from code, ignoring the JSON on fresh deployments.

- Around line 128-132: cutoff_time is created as a timezone-aware datetime while
Issue.resolved_at is a naive DateTime column, causing mixed naive/aware
comparisons; change cutoff_time to be timezone-naive (e.g., use
datetime.utcnow() minus timedelta) or convert Issue.resolved_at to a
timezone-aware column, but the minimal fix is to construct cutoff_time as naive
UTC (use datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(hours=24)) where cutoff_time is used in
the query that counts resolved issues, mirroring the fix applied in
trend_analyzer.analyze_trends and referencing cutoff_time and Issue.resolved_at
to locate the change.
- Line 49: The cutoff_time uses datetime.now(timezone.utc) but compares to naive
DB datetimes, causing timezone mismatch; in _optimize_severity_weights (and the
two other call sites in this file and the related ones in trend_analyzer.py)
make the epoch comparisons consistent by converting DB timestamps to
timezone-aware UTC (e.g., .replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc)) or by computing
cutoff_time as a naive UTC datetime (datetime.utcnow()) to match how
EscalationAudit.timestamp and Grievance timestamps are stored, and apply the
same approach across cutoff_time, EscalationAudit.timestamp, and Grievance
references to ensure all three call sites use the same timezone handling.
- Around line 175-187: The _get_previous_score method currently sorts all
entries in SNAPSHOT_DIR and treats the last file as a valid snapshot; update it
to only consider JSON snapshot files (e.g., filter filenames ending with
".json") and ignore other files like .DS_Store, then sort those JSON files and
open the most recent one. Also handle JSON parsing errors (JSONDecodeError) by
falling back to the default score (60.0) or skipping invalid files and
continuing to the next-most-recent valid JSON; reference the _get_previous_score
function, SNAPSHOT_DIR, the files/last_file variables, and the json.load call
when making this change.
- Around line 100-111: The coordinate presence check in the near-miss loop
wrongly treats 0.0 as falsy; update the condition inside the double loop that
currently uses "if issues[i].latitude and issues[j].latitude and
issues[i].longitude and issues[j].longitude:" to explicitly check for None
(e.g., "is not None") for each latitude/longitude on both issues so
equator/prime-meridian coordinates (0.0) are included before calling
haversine_distance; keep the rest of the logic (current_radius comparison and
near_miss_count increment) unchanged and reference the same symbols (issues,
haversine_distance, current_radius, near_miss_count).

In `@backend/priority_engine.py`:
- Around line 42-60: The adaptive boost handling can push severity_score below 0
and currently truncates boosts with int(boost) while logging the original float;
fix by treating the boost as a float delta, compute applied_delta =
float(adaptive_weights.category_weights.get(cat, 0.0)), calculate new_score =
severity_score + applied_delta, clamp new_score to the [0,100] range, then set
severity_score = int(round(new_score)) (so labels and thresholds still use an
int); update the severity_reasons entry to report the actual applied_delta
(formatted consistently) and the old_score so the logged delta matches the
change; keep the existing severity_label recalculation using the (rounded)
severity_score.

In `@backend/scheduler/daily_refinement_job.py`:
- Line 33: The log call logger.info(f"Summary: {result}") is emitting sensitive
location strings (result.highest_severity_region) to logs; update the logging in
daily_refinement_job.py to avoid logging geographic coordinates by removing or
redacting highest_severity_region from the logged payload and only include
non-sensitive scalar fields (e.g., severity, count, timestamp) from result;
locate the code that constructs or returns result and modify the logger.info
call (and any upstream summary formatting) to either omit
result['highest_severity_region'] or replace it with a non-sensitive token like
"REDACTED" before logging.
- Around line 21-38: The main() currently swallows failures and returns a zero
exit code; change both exception handlers to call sys.exit(1) after logging so
the process exits non-zero on error. Specifically, in the try/except around db =
SessionLocal() (in main) and the try/except around
civic_engine.refine_daily(db), keep the logger.error calls but follow them with
sys.exit(1) (import sys at top if not present); leave the finally db.close() in
place so the session is always closed. Ensure you only exit on failures and keep
the successful path returning/ending normally.

In `@backend/trend_analyzer.py`:
- Around line 34-41: The log message hardcodes "24h" while the function uses a
configurable parameter time_window_hours; update the message in the block that
checks recent_issues (referencing recent_issues and the function parameter
time_window_hours) to interpolate or format the actual time_window_hours value
(e.g., "No issues found in the last {time_window_hours}h for trend analysis.")
so the log accurately reflects the configured window.
- Around line 29-32: cutoff_time is timezone-aware (datetime.now(timezone.utc))
but Issue.created_at is stored as a naive DateTime, so change the comparison to
use a naive UTC datetime or make the model timezone-aware; specifically either
replace datetime.now(timezone.utc) with datetime.utcnow() (or
datetime.now(timezone.utc).replace(tzinfo=None)) when computing cutoff_time in
trend_analyzer.py, or update the Issue model's created_at Column to
DateTime(timezone=True) and run the DB migration so both sides are
timezone-aware before comparing.

In `@data/dailySnapshots/2026-02-20.json`:
- Line 36: The snapshot file is being written incompletely causing
JSONDecodeError when _get_previous_score() reads dailySnapshots; fix
_save_snapshot() to perform atomic writes (write JSON to a temporary file then
os.replace/rename to the final path) and ensure json.dump is flushed and file is
closed (use with open(...) and file.flush() + os.fsync() if necessary) so
partial files are not left; additionally harden _get_previous_score() to catch
json.JSONDecodeError when loading each snapshot and skip or log corrupted
snapshot files rather than crashing.
- Around line 1-35: Remove the generated snapshot file containing hardcoded test
data (keys like "date", "index", "trends", "total_issues",
"latitude"/"longitude") from the repository and stop committing such artifacts:
delete the specific JSON from the current commit/branch, add the snapshots
directory name to .gitignore, and add a placeholder (e.g., .gitkeep or a
sample-template JSON) if the directory structure must be preserved; ensure
future test runs write snapshots to a local-only output location or CI artifact
store instead of source control.

Nitpick comments:
In `@backend/adaptive_weights.py`:
- Around line 39-40: Replace the logger.error calls inside the except blocks
with logger.exception so full tracebacks are preserved; locate the two except
handlers in adaptive_weights.py (the one that logs "Error loading weights from
{self.DATA_FILE}" and the other around lines near 149-150) and change their
logger.error(...) calls to logger.exception(...) so exceptions include stack
traces in the logs.

In `@backend/civic_intelligence.py`:
- Around line 52-59: The code currently catches all exceptions when querying
EscalationAudit which can hide programming errors; change the except to catch
sqlalchemy.exc.SQLAlchemyError (import SQLAlchemyError) instead of Exception
around the db.query block involving EscalationAudit and EscalationReason, keep
the existing logger.warning and upgrades = [] fallback, and ensure the new
import is added at the top of the module so only DB-related errors are
swallowed.
- Around line 20-21: The CivicIntelligenceEngine __init__ currently calls
os.makedirs(self.SNAPSHOT_DIR) at import time via civic_engine =
CivicIntelligenceEngine(), causing filesystem side-effects; remove that call
from __init__ and instead ensure the directory exists right before any write by
adding a check (os.makedirs(..., exist_ok=True)) into refine_daily and
_save_snapshot (or a small helper like _ensure_snapshot_dir_exists invoked by
those methods) so the directory is created lazily when actually needed.
- Around line 204-209: The except block that catches file I/O failures should
use logger.exception so the traceback is included; in the except handler around
the write of snapshot (the block referencing filepath, snapshot, and logger)
replace the logger.error(f"Failed to save snapshot: {e}") call with
logger.exception("Failed to save snapshot") (or call logger.exception with a
similar message and omit manually formatting the exception) so the full
traceback is recorded.
- Around line 96-97: Move the local import of haversine_distance out of the
function and into the module-level imports: add "from backend.spatial_utils
import haversine_distance" alongside the other top-level imports in
backend.civic_intelligence and then delete the in-function import line (the one
immediately after near_miss_count). This removes repeated import overhead and
keeps haversine_distance available to functions in this module without changing
behavior.

In `@backend/priority_engine.py`:
- Around line 43-44: The loop in analyze accesses
adaptive_weights.category_weights directly, breaking the property pattern; add a
property named category_weights on the AdaptiveWeights singleton (or the
adaptive_weights instance) that returns the internal weights and then change the
analyze method to use self.category_weights (or
self.adaptive_weights.category_weights if following existing naming) where the
loop currently calls adaptive_weights.category_weights.get(cat, 0.0); update
references in the analyze function to use that property to keep access
consistent with severity_keywords and urgency_patterns.
- Around line 12-14: The empty __init__ method in priority_engine.py (currently
just "def __init__(self): pass" with a comment) is unnecessary noise—either
delete the __init__ method so Python's default constructor is used, or replace
it with a minimal docstring explaining that initialization is delegated to
adaptive_weights (e.g., add a one-line triple-quoted string inside __init__
mentioning adaptive_weights) so readers understand intent; reference the
__init__ method and the adaptive_weights attribute when making the change.

In `@backend/scheduler/daily_refinement_job.py`:
- Around line 26-27: Replace the logger.error calls inside the except blocks
with logger.exception so the traceback is preserved; specifically update the
except that currently logs "Failed to connect to database: {e}" to call
logger.exception("Failed to connect to database") (omit the f-string with e
since logger.exception captures exc_info), and make the same change for the
second except block (the other logger.error at lines 34-35) so both exception
handlers use logger.exception and include contextual messages.

In `@backend/tests/test_adaptive_weights.py`:
- Around line 29-31: The test directly inspects the internal .weights dict;
update test_load_defaults to use the public API by asserting against the
severity_keywords property on adaptive_weights_instance (e.g., check
adaptive_weights_instance.severity_keywords exists/contains expected entries)
instead of accessing adaptive_weights_instance.weights, leaving the
duplicate_search_radius assertion as-is.

In `@backend/tests/test_civic_intelligence.py`:
- Around line 5-42: The test calls CivicIntelligenceEngine.refine_daily which
invokes instance methods that perform file I/O; patch/mock
CivicIntelligenceEngine._save_snapshot to prevent writing
data/dailySnapshots/<today>.json and also mock
CivicIntelligenceEngine._get_previous_score (or stub it to return a
deterministic value) so the test does not read the filesystem—update the
test_refine_daily to apply these patches (or set attributes on the engine
instance) before calling refine_daily to eliminate disk access and make the test
hermetic.

In `@backend/tests/test_trend_analyzer.py`:
- Around line 62-76: The test is non-deterministic because analyze_trends
chooses between cluster_issues_dbscan and a grid fallback based on sklearn
availability and doesn't assert cluster_hotspots; fix by explicitly
patching/mocking cluster_issues_dbscan in the test (or monkeypatching the module
where analyze_trends imports it) to return a deterministic set of hotspot
clusters, then call analyzer.analyze_trends(mock_db) and add assertions on the
returned "cluster_hotspots" structure (e.g., expected cluster count and
contents) alongside existing assertions so the test passes regardless of sklearn
presence.

In `@backend/trend_analyzer.py`:
- Around line 103-114: The grid-clustering fallback in _grid_clustering uses
rounding to 3 decimal places which yields ~111m for latitude but a
latitude-dependent distance for longitude; add a brief comment above the key
computation (around the key = (round(...)) line) stating that the longitude
resolution varies with latitude (e.g., ~79m at 45°N) so this is a coarse
fallback and not equal-area, and optionally note that a proper equal-distance
clustering should use a geographic projection or Haversine-based binning if
precision is required.

In `@data/modelWeights.json`:
- Around line 1-90: The repo currently has duplicated default weight data in
data/modelWeights.json and in AdaptiveWeights._set_defaults(), causing two
sources of truth; pick one approach: either remove the hardcoded defaults from
AdaptiveWeights._set_defaults() and have that method load defaults from
data/modelWeights.json (and on first-run call AdaptiveWeights.save_weights() to
write the file if missing), or delete data/modelWeights.json from the repo and
ensure AdaptiveWeights._set_defaults() is the lone canonical source (remove any
code path that loads the JSON on fresh installs); reference
AdaptiveWeights._set_defaults(), AdaptiveWeights.save_weights(), and
data/modelWeights.json when making the change so only one source of truth
remains.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Concurrent writes to self.weights and save_weights() are not synchronized — risk of lost updates and file corruption.

Every mutator (update_duplicate_search_radius, update_category_weight, add_severity_keyword) modifies the shared self.weights dict and immediately calls save_weights() without a lock. In a multi-threaded scenario (FastAPI threadpool, concurrent API requests, or the daily job running while the API is active):

  • Two threads calling update_category_weight("Pothole", 2.0) concurrently both read current = 0.0 before either writes → final value is 2.0 instead of 4.0 (lost update).
  • Two threads calling save_weights() simultaneously both open the same file for writing → one write can truncate the other's output → corrupt JSON on disk.

A threading.Lock per instance should guard all mutations and the file write:

Timezone-aware cutoff_time compared against naive created_at column values.

cutoff_time is tz-aware (timezone.utc), but Issue.created_at uses Column(DateTime) without timezone=True. SQLAlchemy strips the tzinfo before storing, so database values are naive. Comparing tz-aware against naive datetimes can silently produce incorrect results or raise TypeError depending on the database backend. Use a naive UTC datetime for the comparison or update the column definition to DateTime(timezone=True).

Quick fix — use naive UTC cutoff
-        cutoff_time = datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(hours=time_window_hours)
+        cutoff_time = datetime.now(timezone.utc).replace(tzinfo=None) - timedelta(hours=time_window_hours)

Alternatively, update the Issue model:

-    created_at = Column(DateTime, default=lambda: datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc), index=True)
+    created_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True), default=lambda: datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc), index=True)

timezone-aware (datetime.now(timezone.utc)) but Issue.created_at is stored as a
naive DateTime, so change the comparison to use a naive UTC datetime or make the
model timezone-aware; specifically either replace datetime.now(timezone.utc)
with datetime.utcnow() (or datetime.now(timezone.utc).replace(tzinfo=None)) when
computing cutoff_time in trend_analyzer.py, or update the Issue model's
created_at Column to DateTime(timezone=True) and run the DB migration so both
sides are timezone-aware before comparing.

Hardcoded "24h" in log message ignores the time_window_hours parameter.

Line 35 says "last 24h" but the method accepts a configurable time_window_hours.

Generated test-data artifact should not be committed to the repository.

This snapshot contains hardcoded seed values (pothole hotspot at lat/lon 10.0/10.0, 100 issues, 50 resolved) that appear to have been produced during a local test run. Committing generated output files pollutes version history and can cause stale/incorrect baselines on new environments.

Truncated file results in invalid JSON — will throw JSONDecodeError at parse time.

The file ends at line 36 with "weights_version": — no value, no closing }. The file is structurally incomplete JSON. Any call to json.load() on this snapshot (e.g., _get_previous_score() iterating over data/dailySnapshots/) will immediately raise json.JSONDecodeError, which would break the "previous score" lookup and potentially the entire daily refinement job on subsequent runs.

This is likely a sign that _save_snapshot wrote the file in a partial/interrupted state, or there is a serialization bug in the snapshot-writing code that should be investigated.

7-9: sys.path manipulation is fragile for deployment.

Hardcoding a relative path two levels up works for local development but breaks if the script is moved, packaged, or invoked from a different working directory. Consider using a proper package entry point (e.g., python -m backend.scheduler.daily_refinement_job) or a tool like setuptools console scripts. Fine for an initial prototype, but worth noting for production deployment.

189-202: Two datetime.now(timezone.utc) calls can diverge around midnight UTC.

Lines 190 and 198 each call datetime.now(timezone.utc) independently. If _save_snapshot runs near midnight, date_str could be "2026-02-20" while timestamp is "2026-02-21T00:00:00...". Capture the timestamp once:

hotspot_bonus = min(10.0, len(trends["cluster_hotspots"]) * 2.0) increases the Civic Intelligence Index when there are more geographic hotspots.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Effective lower bound for radius decrease doesn't match the max(20.0, ...) guard.

The elif condition at line 118 requires current_radius > 30.0, but the decrement is only 1.0. Once the radius drops to ~29.x (one step below 30), the condition > 30.0 is no longer met and the radius stops shrinking. The max(20.0, ...) guard on line 120 is effectively dead code since the outer condition prevents reaching values near 20.

If the intent is to allow shrinking to 20m, change the guard:
