Move shared type contracts from `contracts` to new `api-contracts` module in `compute/core` for clearer API boundaries. Remove legacy `contracts`, `pdf`, and `whisper` index files. Update all imports to use `api-contracts`. Refactor server job logic by replacing `parsePdfJob.ts` with modular `user-pdf-layout-job.ts` and `user-whisper-align-job.ts`, updating all relevant API routes and compute integration. This improves maintainability and separation of concerns across compute and server layers.
Move and re-export all PDF parsing and TTS-related types from
@openreader/compute-core/types, eliminating local type duplication.
Update imports throughout the codebase to use the new centralized type
module. Remove obsolete worker-contract file and update tsconfig paths
and compute-core exports for the new types entry point. Refactor API
routes and job logic to use the new type imports and shared parse-state
healing utility. This streamlines type management and improves
consistency between compute and app layers.
Introduce detailed progress reporting for PDF layout parsing, exposing phase and page-level updates to clients. Replace legacy parseStatus with a structured parseState field in the database schema, updating all relevant backend and API logic. Add SSE endpoint for real-time parse progress updates. Update client hooks and UI to reflect granular progress and improve user feedback during document parsing. Includes migration scripts and new parse-state utility module.
Migrate worker and backend contract to an operation-centric model, introducing opKey-based deduplication for Whisper alignment and PDF layout parsing. Add new operation request/state types and update worker endpoints to accept generic operation requests and expose operation status via SSE. Refactor client and server logic to support operation flows. Update deployment docs, environment examples, and Dockerfile to reflect new architecture and dependency management.
Add ability to fetch parsed documents using a stored S3 key, enabling more flexible blob access patterns. Update API route to prefer `parsedJsonKey` if present, falling back to legacy lookup. Introduce `COMPUTE_WORKER_WAIT_TIMEOUT_MS` environment variable for customizing worker job wait time, with a new default of 120 seconds. Update documentation and examples to reflect these changes.
Update worker server to prioritize platform-specific PORT environment variable
when setting the compute worker port. Add robust normalization for
COMPUTE_WORKER_URL, ensuring proper scheme and validation, and trim trailing
slashes for consistency. This enhances reliability in diverse deployment
environments.
Update compute backend interfaces and job logic to consistently handle parsed
PDF layout results as either direct data or S3 object key references. Refactor
result types, local and worker backends, and job processing to support this
pattern. Improves flexibility for large document parsing and object storage
integration.
Introduce support for external compute worker mode (`COMPUTE_MODE=worker`) using a new `WorkerComputeBackend`. This enables offloading heavy ONNX Whisper alignment and PDF layout parsing to a standalone worker service (Redis + BullMQ), improving scalability and compatibility with serverless/limited environments.
- Add `@openreader/compute-core` as a shared package for ONNX inference and PDF parsing logic.
- Implement `WorkerComputeBackend` and worker contract/types for remote job execution.
- Update compute backend selection logic and remove previous worker mode guards.
- Extend `WhisperAlignInput` and `PdfLayoutInput` types to support object keys for remote data access.
- Refactor local compute backend to use `@openreader/compute-core` and support both buffer and object key inputs.
- Update job runner, TTS segment alignment, and PDF layout parsing flows to use new compute backend APIs.
- Add scripts, Docker workflow, and documentation for deploying and running the compute worker.
- Update environment variable docs and examples for worker mode, including storage requirements and configuration.
- Document published images and stack changes to reflect the new compute worker architecture.
BREAKING CHANGE: `COMPUTE_MODE=worker` now requires an external compute worker service and S3-compatible object storage. Embedded SeaweedFS (`weed mini`) is not supported in worker mode. See the new documentation for deployment and configuration details.
