Results Module Design

Overview

The results module provides a centralized collection of structured dataclass objects representing search results, inventory objects, and content documents. This module serves as the foundation for type-safe operations across all interface layers while maintaining clean separation between data representation and business logic.

Design Principles

Architectural Foundation

Centralized Type Definitions

All result-related dataclasses reside in a single module to ensure consistency and prevent circular dependencies between processor, search, and function modules.

Immutable Data Structures

All result objects inherit from __.immut.DataclassObject following project practices for thread safety and predictable behavior in concurrent operations.

Universal Object Interface

All inventory processors return InventoryObject instances rather than format-specific dictionaries, providing type safety and enabling consistent search operations across different inventory formats.

Complete Source Attribution

Every result object includes complete provenance information enabling debugging, caching optimization, and future multi-source operations without requiring separate tracking mechanisms.

Clean Separation of Concerns

Inventory objects represent pure documentation metadata without search-specific fields. Search results wrap inventory objects with relevance scoring. This separation allows inventory objects to be reused across different search contexts and enables search-independent operations.

Self-Rendering Object Architecture

All result objects implement standardized rendering methods for different output formats, encapsulating domain-specific formatting knowledge within the objects themselves rather than external formatting functions.

Core Object Definitions

Universal Inventory Object

class InventoryObject( __.immut.DataclassObject ):
    ''' Universal inventory object with complete source attribution.

        Represents a single documentation object from any inventory source
        with standardized fields, format-specific metadata container, and
        self-formatting capabilities where each processor creates objects
        that know how to render their own specifics data.

Error Handling Objects

The error handling architecture supports both structured error responses for API boundaries and self-rendering exceptions for natural Python exception flow. This dual approach enables clean function signatures while maintaining structured error information across interface layers.

Self-Rendering Exception Base Classes

class Omniexception( __.immut.Object, BaseException ):
    ''' Base for all exceptions raised by package API. '''

class Omnierror( Omniexception, Exception ):
    ''' Base for error exceptions with self-rendering capability. '''

    @__.abc.abstractmethod
    def render_as_json( self ) -> __.immut.Dictionary[ str, __.typx.Any ]:
        ''' Renders exception as JSON-compatible dictionary. '''

    @__.abc.abstractmethod
    def render_as_markdown( self ) -> tuple[ str, ... ]:
        ''' Renders exception as Markdown lines for display. '''

Domain-Specific Self-Rendering Exceptions

class ProcessorInavailability( Omnierror, RuntimeError ):
    ''' No processor found to handle source. '''

    def __init__(
        self,
        source: __.typx.Annotated[
            str, __.ddoc.Doc( "Source URL that could not be processed." ) ],
        genus: __.Absential[ str ] = __.absent,
        query: __.Absential[ str ] = __.absent,
    ): ...

    def render_as_json( self ) -> __.immut.Dictionary[ str, __.typx.Any ]:
        ''' Renders processor unavailability as JSON-compatible dictionary. '''

class InventoryInaccessibility( Omnierror, RuntimeError ):
    ''' Inventory location cannot be accessed. '''

    def __init__(
        self,

            str, __.ddoc.Doc( "Inventory location URL." ) ],
        cause: __.typx.Annotated[
            __.typx.Optional[ BaseException ],
            __.ddoc.Doc( "Underlying exception that caused inaccessibility." )
        ] = None,
    ): ...

class InventoryInvalidity( Omnierror, ValueError ):
    ''' Inventory data format is invalid or corrupted. '''

    def __init__(
        self,
        location: __.typx.Annotated[
            str, __.ddoc.Doc( "Inventory location URL." ) ],
        details: __.typx.Annotated[
            str, __.ddoc.Doc( "Description of invalidity." )
        ],
    ): ...

Complete Query Results

class InventoryQueryResult( __.immut.DataclassObject ):
    ''' Complete result structure for inventory queries. '''

    location: __.typx.Annotated[
        str, __.ddoc.Doc( "Primary location URL for this query." ) ]
    query: __.typx.Annotated[
        str, __.ddoc.Doc( "Search term or query string used." ) ]
    objects: __.typx.Annotated[
        tuple[ InventoryObject, ... ],
        __.ddoc.Doc( "Inventory objects matching search criteria." ) ]
    search_metadata: __.typx.Annotated[
        SearchMetadata, __.ddoc.Doc( "Search execution and result metadata." ) ]
    inventory_locations: __.typx.Annotated[
        tuple[ InventoryLocationInfo, ... ],
        __.ddoc.Doc( "Information about inventory locations used." ) ]

    def render_as_json( self ) -> __.immut.Dictionary[ str, __.typx.Any ]:

    query: __.typx.Annotated[
        str, __.ddoc.Doc( "Search term or query string used." ) ]
    documents: __.typx.Annotated[
        tuple[ ContentDocument, ... ],
        __.ddoc.Doc( "Documentation content for matching objects." ) ]
    search_metadata: __.typx.Annotated[
        SearchMetadata, __.ddoc.Doc( "Search execution and result metadata." ) ]
    inventory_locations: __.typx.Annotated[
        tuple[ InventoryLocationInfo, ... ],
        __.ddoc.Doc( "Information about inventory locations used." ) ]

    def render_as_json( self ) -> __.immut.Dictionary[ str, __.typx.Any ]:

    def render_as_markdown(

            __.ddoc.Doc( "Maximum lines to display per content result." )
        ] = None,
    ) -> tuple[ str, ... ]:
        ''' Renders content query result as Markdown lines for display. '''

Processor Integration Design

Enhanced Base Classes

The processor layer integrates with structured objects through updated return types:

# processors.py - Enhanced base class
class InventoryDetection( Detection ):
    ''' Enhanced base class returning structured objects. '''

    @__.abc.abstractmethod
    async def filter_inventory(
        self,
        auxdata: __.ApplicationGlobals,
        location: str, /, *,
        filters: __.cabc.Mapping[ str, __.typx.Any ],
        details: __.InventoryQueryDetails = (
            __.InventoryQueryDetails.Documentation ),
    ) -> tuple[ InventoryObject, ... ]:
        ''' Returns structured inventory objects instead of dictionaries. '''

Processor Object Formatting

Each processor provides consistent object formatting:

# Sphinx processor formatting
def format_inventory_object(
    sphinx_object: __.typx.Any,
    inventory: __.typx.Any,
    location_url: str,
) -> InventoryObject:
    ''' Formats Sphinx inventory object with complete attribution. '''

    return InventoryObject(
        name = sphinx_object.name,
        uri = sphinx_object.uri,
        inventory_type = 'sphinx_objects_inv',
        location_url = location_url,
        display_name = (
            sphinx_object.dispname
            if sphinx_object.dispname != '-'
            else None ),
        specifics = __.immut.Dictionary(
            domain = sphinx_object.domain,
            role = sphinx_object.role,
            priority = sphinx_object.priority,
            inventory_project = inventory.project,
            inventory_version = inventory.version ) )

# MkDocs processor formatting
def format_inventory_object(
    mkdocs_document: __.cabc.Mapping[ str, __.typx.Any ],
    location_url: str,
) -> InventoryObject:
    ''' Formats MkDocs search index document with attribution. '''

    typed_doc = dict( mkdocs_document )
    location = str( typed_doc.get( 'location', '' ) )
    title = str( typed_doc.get( 'title', '' ) )

    return InventoryObject(
        name = title,
        uri = location,
        inventory_type = 'mkdocs_search_index',
        location_url = location_url,
        specifics = __.immut.Dictionary(
            domain = 'page',
            role = 'doc',
            priority = '1',
            object_type = 'page' ) )

Functions Layer Integration

Enhanced Business Logic Functions

The functions module provides clean business logic functions using natural exception flow with self-rendering exceptions:

# functions.py - Clean signatures with exception-based error handling
async def query_inventory(
    auxdata: __.ApplicationGlobals,
    location: __.typx.Annotated[ str, __.ddoc.Fname( 'location argument' ) ],
    term: str, /, *,
    processor_name: __.Absential[ str ] = __.absent,
    search_behaviors: __.SearchBehaviors = _search_behaviors_default,
    filters: __.cabc.Mapping[ str, __.typx.Any ] = _filters_default,
    details: __.InventoryQueryDetails = (
        __.InventoryQueryDetails.Documentation ),
    results_max: int = 5,
) -> InventoryQueryResult:
    ''' Returns structured inventory query results. Raises domain exceptions on error. '''

async def query_content(
    auxdata: __.ApplicationGlobals,
    location: __.typx.Annotated[ str, __.ddoc.Fname( 'location argument' ) ],
    term: str, /, *,
    processor_name: __.Absential[ str ] = __.absent,
    search_behaviors: __.SearchBehaviors = _search_behaviors_default,
    filters: __.cabc.Mapping[ str, __.typx.Any ] = _filters_default,
    include_snippets: bool = True,
    results_max: int = 10,
) -> ContentQueryResult:
    ''' Returns structured content query results. Raises domain exceptions on error. '''

async def detect(
    auxdata: __.ApplicationGlobals,
    location: __.typx.Annotated[ str, __.ddoc.Fname( 'location argument' ) ], /, *,
    processor_name: __.Absential[ str ] = __.absent,
    processor_types: __.cabc.Sequence[ str ] = ( 'inventory', 'structure' ),
) -> DetectionsResult:
    ''' Returns structured detection results with processor selection and timing. '''

async def survey_processors(
    auxdata: __.ApplicationGlobals, /,
    genus: __.interfaces.ProcessorGenera,
    name: __.typx.Optional[ str ] = None,
) -> ProcessorsSurveyResult:
    ''' Returns structured survey results listing available processors and capabilities. '''

Error Handling Patterns

The system uses self-rendering exceptions for natural Python error flow with clean function signatures and consistent error presentation across interface layers.

Self-Rendering Exception Pattern

Functions use natural exception flow with domain-specific self-rendering exceptions:

# Business logic functions with clean signatures
async def query_inventory(
    auxdata: __.ApplicationGlobals,
    location: str,
    term: str, /, *,
    search_behaviors: __.SearchBehaviors = _search_behaviors_default,
    filters: __.cabc.Mapping[ str, __.typx.Any ] = _filters_default,
    details: __.InventoryQueryDetails = __.InventoryQueryDetails.Documentation,
    results_max: int = 5,
) -> InventoryQueryResult:
    ''' Returns structured inventory query results. Raises domain exceptions on error. '''

# Processor layer raises self-rendering exceptions
class SphinxInventoryProcessor:
    async def query_inventory(
        self, filters: __.cabc.Mapping[ str, __.typx.Any ],
        details: __.InventoryQueryDetails
    ) -> tuple[ __.InventoryObject, ... ]:
        try:
            inventory = extract_inventory( base_url )
            return tuple( format_objects( inventory, filters ) )
        except ConnectionError as exc:
            raise InventoryInaccessibility( location = url, cause = exc )
        except ParseError as exc:
            raise InventoryInvalidity( location = url, details = str( exc ) )

Interface Layer Exception Handling

Interface layers use Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) patterns with decorators:

# MCP Server - Exception interception decorator signature
def intercept_errors( func ) -> __.cabc.Callable:
    ''' Intercepts package exceptions and renders them as JSON for MCP. '''

@intercept_errors
async def query_inventory_mcp( location: str, term: str, ... ):
    ''' Searches object inventory by name with fuzzy matching. '''

# CLI Layer - Parameterized exception handling decorator signature
def intercept_errors(
    stream: __.typx.TextIO,
    display_format: __.DisplayFormat
) -> __.cabc.Callable:
    ''' Creates decorator to intercept package exceptions and render for CLI. '''

Search Engine Integration

Enhanced Search Result Objects

# search.py - Enhanced to work with structured objects
def filter_by_name(
    objects: __.cabc.Sequence[ InventoryObject ],
    term: str, /, *,
    match_mode: __.MatchMode = __.MatchMode.Fuzzy,
    fuzzy_threshold: int = 50,
) -> tuple[ SearchResult, ... ]:
    ''' Enhanced search filtering returning structured results. '''

Self-Rendering Architecture

Universal Rendering Interface All structured result objects implement standardized rendering methods:

# Universal rendering interface for all result objects
def render_as_json( self ) -> __.immut.Dictionary[ str, __.typx.Any ]:
    ''' Renders object as JSON-compatible immutable dictionary. '''

def render_as_markdown(
    self, /, *,
    reveal_internals: bool = True
) -> tuple[ str, ... ]:
    ''' Renders object as Markdown lines for CLI display. '''

Domain-Specific Rendering Implementation Each object encapsulates its own formatting logic:

# InventoryObject rendering example
def render_as_json( self ) -> __.immut.Dictionary[ str, __.typx.Any ]:
    ''' Returns JSON-compatible dictionary with domain knowledge. '''
    result = __.immut.Dictionary(
        name = self.name,
        uri = self.uri,
        inventory_type = self.inventory_type,
        location_url = self.location_url,
        display_name = self.display_name,
        effective_display_name = self.effective_display_name,
    )
    # Merge with domain-specific formatting logic
    return result.union( self.specifics )

def render_as_markdown(
    self, /, *, reveal_internals: bool = True
) -> tuple[ str, ... ]:
    ''' Returns Markdown lines using processor-specific formatting. '''
    lines = [ f"### `{self.effective_display_name}`" ]
    # Domain-specific formatting logic implemented by processors
    return tuple( lines )

Validation and Type Safety

Object Validation Strategy

Validation of result objects is implemented at object initialization through __post_init__ methods when validation is needed. This ensures that invalid objects cannot be constructed and provides fail-fast behavior with guaranteed valid state.

Objects own their validity invariants through initialization-time validation rather than relying on external validation functions.

Presentation Layer Integration

CLI and Renderers Integration

The self-rendering architecture enables clean separation between business logic and presentation concerns:

Presentation vs Business Logic Separation - Objects handle domain logic: result.render_as_json() - CLI coordinators handle presentation: truncation, formatting, display helpers - MCP server uses objects directly: no CLI-specific presentation layer

Direct Self-Rendering Architecture Objects handle all presentation directly through self-rendering methods, eliminating the need for external presentation coordination layers.

Integration Benefits

Clean Function Signatures - Natural exception flow eliminates verbose union return types - Business logic functions have clean success-case signatures - Type annotations reflect actual success types without error boilerplate - Function signatures become more readable and maintainable

Type Safety and IDE Support - Compile-time validation of object structure and field access - Full IDE autocompletion and refactoring support - Static analysis capabilities for detecting field usage - Exception type hierarchy provides structured error catching patterns

Self-Rendering Architecture - Exceptions handle their own presentation logic through render methods - Objects encapsulate format-specific knowledge within themselves - Clean separation between business logic and presentation concerns - Consistent error display across CLI and MCP interfaces without duplication

Aspect-Oriented Error Handling - Interface layers use decorators for cross-cutting error handling concerns - Business logic remains pure with no error marshaling overhead - Single point of error presentation control per interface layer - Exception handling behavior easily modified without touching business functions

Domain-Specific Rendering - Processors provide domain expertise through object rendering methods - Extensible rendering without modifying CLI or interface layers - Complete error context preservation from point of failure to presentation - Self-contained formatting logic reduces coupling between layers

Complete Source Attribution - Full provenance tracking for every inventory object - Enhanced debugging capabilities with location-specific metadata - Foundation for future multi-source aggregation capabilities - Exception objects maintain complete failure context

Consistency and Maintainability - Unified interface across all inventory processor types - Clear separation between universal and format-specific data - Predictable object structure for interface layers - Error handling complexity isolated to exception classes and decorators

Performance and Scalability - Immutable objects enable safe concurrent access - Structural sharing reduces memory overhead - Efficient serialization for network transmission - Exception-based flow avoids creating error objects for success cases - Domain-specific rendering optimizations contained within objects

This results module design provides a robust foundation for type-safe operations across all system components while maintaining clean architectural boundaries and enabling future enhancements through structured object capabilities and self-rendering architecture.
