fix: add missing session parameters to controller method calls

- Add db_session parameter to all RoomController.add() and update() calls in test_room_ics_api.py - Fix TranscriptController.upsert_topic() calls to include session parameter in conftest.py fixture - Fix TranscriptController.upsert_participant() and delete_participant() calls to include session parameter in API views - Remove invalid setup_database fixture references, use pytest-async-sqlalchemy's database fixture instead - Update CalendarEventController.upsert() calls to include session parameter These changes ensure all controller methods receive the required session parameter as part of the SQLAlchemy 2.0 migration pattern where sessions are explicitly managed.
fix: improve session management and testing infrastructure

-# Multi-Provider Video Platform Implementation - Coder Briefing
-
-## Your Mission
-
-Implement multi-provider video platform support in Reflector, allowing the system to work with both Whereby and Daily.co video conferencing providers. The goal is to abstract the current Whereby-only implementation and add Daily.co as a second provider, with the ability to switch between them via environment variables.
-
-**Branch:** `igor/dailico-2` (you're already on it)
-
-**Estimated Time:** 12-16 hours (senior engineer)
-
-**Complexity:** Medium-High (requires careful integration with existing codebase)
-
---
-
-## What You Have
-
-### 1. **PLAN.md** - Your Technical Specification (2,452 lines)
-   - Complete step-by-step implementation guide
-   - All code examples you need
-   - Architecture diagrams and design rationale
-   - Testing strategy and success metrics
-   - **Read this first** to understand the overall approach
-
-### 2. **IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md** - Your Practical Guide
-   - What to copy vs. adapt vs. rewrite
-   - Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
-   - Verification checklists for each phase
-   - Decision trees for implementation choices
-   - **Use this as your day-to-day reference**
-
-### 3. **Reference Implementation** - `./reflector-dailyco-reference/`
-   - Working implementation from 2.5 months ago
-   - Good architecture and patterns
-   - **BUT:** 91 commits behind current main, DO NOT merge directly
-   - Use for inspiration and code patterns only
-
---
-
-## Critical Context: Why Not Just Merge?
-
-The reference branch (`origin/igor/feat-dailyco`) was started on August 1, 2025 and is now severely diverged from main:
-
- **91 commits behind main**
- Main has 12x more changes (45,840 insertions vs 3,689)
- Main added: calendar integration, webhooks, full-text search, React Query migration, security fixes
- Reference removed: features that main still has and needs
-
-**Merging would be a disaster.** We're implementing fresh on current main, using the reference for validated patterns.
-
---
-
-## High-Level Approach
-
-### Phase 1: Analysis (2 hours)
- Study current Whereby integration
- Define abstraction requirements
- Create standard data models
-
-### Phase 2: Abstraction Layer (4-5 hours)
- Build platform abstraction (base class, registry, factory)
- Extract Whereby into the abstraction
- Update database schema (add `platform` field)
- Integrate into rooms.py **without breaking calendar/webhooks**
-
-### Phase 3: Daily.co Implementation (4-5 hours)
- Implement Daily.co client
- Add webhook handler
- Create frontend components (rewrite API calls for React Query)
- Add recording processing
-
-### Phase 4: Testing (2-3 hours)
- Unit tests for platform abstraction
- Integration tests for webhooks
- Manual testing with both providers
-
---
-
-## Key Files You'll Touch
-
-### Backend (New)
-```
-server/reflector/video_platforms/
-├── __init__.py
-├── base.py              ← Abstract base class
-├── models.py            ← Platform, MeetingData, VideoPlatformConfig
-├── registry.py          ← Platform registration system
-├── factory.py           ← Client creation and config
-├── whereby.py           ← Whereby client wrapper
-├── daily.py             ← Daily.co client
-└── mock.py              ← Mock client for testing

-server/tests/test_video_platforms.py  ← Platform tests
-server/tests/test_daily_webhook.py    ← Webhook tests
-```
-
-### Backend (Modified - Careful!)
-```
-server/reflector/settings.py          ← Add Daily.co settings
-server/reflector/db/rooms.py          ← Add platform field, PRESERVE calendar fields
-server/reflector/db/meetings.py       ← Add platform field
-server/reflector/views/rooms.py       ← Integrate abstraction, PRESERVE calendar/webhooks
-server/reflector/worker/process.py    ← Add process_recording_from_url task
-server/reflector/app.py               ← Register daily router
-server/env.example                    ← Document new env vars
-```
-
-### Frontend (New)
-```
-www/app/[roomName]/components/
-├── RoomContainer.tsx    ← Platform router
-├── DailyRoom.tsx        ← Daily.co component (rewrite API calls!)
-└── WherebyRoom.tsx      ← Extract existing logic
-```
-
-### Frontend (Modified)
-```
-www/app/[roomName]/page.tsx           ← Use RoomContainer
-www/package.json                      ← Add @daily-co/daily-js
-```
-
-### Database
-```
-server/migrations/versions/XXXXXX_add_platform_support.py  ← Generate fresh migration
-```
-
---
-
-## Critical Warnings ⚠️
-
-### 1. **DO NOT Copy Database Migrations**
-The reference migration has the wrong `down_revision` and is based on old schema.
-```bash
-# Instead:
-cd server
-uv run alembic revision -m "add_platform_support"
-# Then edit the generated file
-```
-
-### 2. **DO NOT Remove Main's Features**
-Main has calendar integration, webhooks, ICS sync that reference doesn't have.
-When modifying `rooms.py`, only change meeting creation logic, preserve everything else.
-
-### 3. **DO NOT Copy Frontend API Calls**
-Reference uses old OpenAPI client. Main uses React Query.
-Check how main currently makes API calls and replicate that pattern.
-
-### 4. **DO NOT Copy package.json/migrations**
-These files are severely outdated in reference.
-
-### 5. **Preserve Type Safety**
-Use `TYPE_CHECKING` imports to avoid circular dependencies:
-```python
-from typing import TYPE_CHECKING
-if TYPE_CHECKING:
-    from reflector.db.rooms import Room
-```
-
---
-
-## How to Start
-
-### Day 1 Morning: Setup & Understanding (2-3 hours)
-```bash
-# 1. Verify you're on the right branch
-git branch
-# Should show: igor/dailico-2
-
-# 2. Read the docs (in order)
-# - PLAN.md (skim to understand scope, read Phase 1 carefully)
-# - IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md (read fully, bookmark it)
-
-# 3. Study current Whereby integration
-cat server/reflector/views/rooms.py | grep -A 20 "whereby"
-cat www/app/[roomName]/page.tsx
-
-# 4. Check reference implementation structure
-ls -la reflector-dailyco-reference/server/reflector/video_platforms/
-```
-
-### Day 1 Afternoon: Phase 1 Execution (2-3 hours)
-```bash
-# 5. Copy video_platforms directory from reference
-cp -r reflector-dailyco-reference/server/reflector/video_platforms/ \
-      server/reflector/
-
-# 6. Review and fix imports
-cd server
-uv run ruff check reflector/video_platforms/
-
-# 7. Add settings to settings.py (see PLAN.md Phase 2.7)
-
-# 8. Test imports work
-uv run python -c "from reflector.video_platforms import create_platform_client; print('OK')"
-```
-
-### Day 2: Phase 2 - Database & Integration (4-5 hours)
-```bash
-# 9. Generate migration
-uv run alembic revision -m "add_platform_support"
-# Edit the file following PLAN.md Phase 2.8
-
-# 10. Update Room/Meeting models
-# Add platform field, PRESERVE all existing fields
-
-# 11. Integrate into rooms.py
-# Carefully modify meeting creation, preserve calendar/webhooks
-
-# 12. Add Daily.co webhook handler
-cp reflector-dailyco-reference/server/reflector/views/daily.py \
-   server/reflector/views/
-# Register in app.py
-```
-
-### Day 3: Phase 3 - Frontend & Testing (4-5 hours)
-```bash
-# 13. Create frontend components
-mkdir -p www/app/[roomName]/components
-
-# 14. Add Daily.co dependency
-cd www
-pnpm add @daily-co/daily-js@^0.81.0
-
-# 15. Create RoomContainer, DailyRoom, WherebyRoom
-# IMPORTANT: Rewrite API calls using React Query patterns
-
-# 16. Regenerate types
-pnpm openapi
-
-# 17. Copy and adapt tests
-cp reflector-dailyco-reference/server/tests/test_*.py server/tests/
-
-# 18. Run tests
-cd server
-REDIS_HOST=localhost \
-CELERY_BROKER_URL=redis://localhost:6379/1 \
-uv run pytest tests/test_video_platforms.py -v
-```
-
---
-
-## Verification Checklist
-
-After implementation, all of these must pass:
-
-**Backend:**
- [ ] `cd server && uv run ruff check .` passes
- [ ] `uv run alembic upgrade head` works cleanly
- [ ] `uv run pytest tests/test_video_platforms.py` passes
- [ ] Can import: `from reflector.video_platforms import create_platform_client`
- [ ] Settings has all Daily.co variables
-
-**Frontend:**
- [ ] `cd www && pnpm lint` passes
- [ ] No TypeScript errors
- [ ] `pnpm openapi` generates platform field
- [ ] No `@ts-ignore` for platform field
-
-**Integration:**
- [ ] Whereby meetings still work (existing flow unchanged)
- [ ] Calendar/webhook features still work in rooms.py
- [ ] env.example documents all new variables
-
---
-
-## When You're Stuck
-
-### Check These Resources:
-1. **PLAN.md** - Detailed code examples for your exact scenario
-2. **IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md** - Common pitfalls section
-3. **Reference code** - See how it was solved before
-4. **Git diff** - Compare reference to your implementation
-
-### Compare Files:
-```bash
-# See what reference did
-diff reflector-dailyco-reference/server/reflector/views/rooms.py \
-     server/reflector/views/rooms.py
-
-# See what changed in main since reference branch
-git log --oneline --since="2025-08-01" -- server/reflector/views/rooms.py
-```
-
-### Common Issues:
- **Circular imports:** Use `TYPE_CHECKING` pattern
- **Tests fail with postgres error:** Use `REDIS_HOST=localhost` env vars
- **Frontend API calls broken:** Check current React Query patterns in main
- **Migrations fail:** Ensure you generated fresh, not copied
-
---
-
-## Success Looks Like
-
-When you're done:
- ✅ All tests pass
- ✅ Linting passes
- ✅ Can create Whereby meetings (unchanged behavior)
- ✅ Can create Daily.co meetings (with env vars)
- ✅ Calendar/webhooks still work
- ✅ Frontend has no TypeScript errors
- ✅ Platform selection via environment variables works
-
---
-
-## Communication
-
-If you need clarification on requirements, have questions about architecture decisions, or find issues with the spec, document them clearly with:
- What you expected
- What you found
- Your proposed solution
-
-The PLAN.md document is comprehensive but you may find edge cases. Use your engineering judgment and document decisions.
-
---
-
-## Final Notes
-
-**This is not a simple copy-paste job.** You're doing careful integration work where you need to:
- Understand the abstraction pattern (PLAN.md)
- Preserve all of main's features
- Adapt reference code to current patterns
- Think about edge cases and testing
-
-Take your time with Phase 2 (rooms.py integration) - that's where most bugs will come from if you accidentally break calendar/webhook features.
-
-**Good luck! You've got comprehensive specs, working reference code, and a clean starting point. You can do this.**

-
-## Reference Code Location
- **Reference branch:** `origin/igor/feat-dailyco` (on remote)
- **Worktree location:** `./reflector-dailyco-reference/`
- **Status:** Reference only - DO NOT merge or copy directly

-
-### ⚠️ Needs Significant Changes (Use Logic Only)
- `server/reflector/db/rooms.py` - Reference removed calendar/webhook fields that main has
- `server/reflector/db/meetings.py` - Same issue (missing user_id handling differences)
- `server/reflector/views/rooms.py` - Main has calendar integration, webhooks, ICS sync
- `server/reflector/worker/process.py` - Main has different recording flow
- Migration files - Must regenerate against current main schema
-
-### ❌ Do NOT Use (Outdated/Incompatible)
- `package.json`/`pnpm-lock.yaml` - Main uses different dependency versions
- Frontend API client calls - Main uses React Query (reference uses old OpenAPI client)
- Database migrations - Must create new ones from scratch
- Any files that delete features present in main (search, calendar, webhooks)
-
-## Key Differences: Reference vs Current Main
-
-| Aspect | Reference Branch | Current Main | Action Required |
-|--------|------------------|--------------|-----------------|
-| **API client** | Old OpenAPI generated | React Query hooks | Rewrite all API calls |
-| **Database schema** | Simplified (removed features) | Has calendar, webhooks, full-text search | Merge carefully, preserve main features |
-| **Settings** | Aug 2025 structure | Current structure | Adapt carefully |
-| **Migrations** | Branched from Aug 1 | Current main (91+ commits ahead) | Regenerate from scratch |
-| **Frontend deps** | `@daily-co/daily-js@0.81.0` | Check current versions | Update to compatible versions |
-| **Package manager** | yarn | pnpm (maybe both?) | Use what main uses |
-
-## Branch Divergence Analysis
-
-**The reference branch is 91 commits behind main and severely diverged:**
- Reference: 8 commits, 3,689 insertions, 425 deletions
- Main since divergence: 320 files changed, 45,840 insertions, 16,827 deletions
- **Main has 12x more changes**
-
-**Major features in main that reference lacks:**
-1. Calendar integration (ICS sync with rooms)
-2. Self-hosted GPU API infrastructure
-3. Frontend OpenAPI React Query migration
-4. Full-text search (backend + frontend)
-5. Webhook system for room events
-6. Environment variable migration
-7. Security fixes and auth improvements
-8. Docker production frontend
-9. Meeting user ID removal (schema change)
-10. NextJS version upgrades
-
-**High conflict risk files:**
- `server/reflector/views/rooms.py` - 12x more changes in main
- `server/reflector/db/rooms.py` - Main added 7+ fields
- `www/package.json` - NextJS major version bump
- Database migrations - 20+ new migrations in main
-
-## Implementation Approach
-
-### Phase 1: Copy Clean Abstractions (1-2 hours)
-
-**Files to copy directly from reference:**
-```bash
-# Core abstraction (review but mostly safe to copy)
-cp -r reflector-dailyco-reference/server/reflector/video_platforms/ \
-      server/reflector/
-
-# BUT review each file for:
-# - Import paths (make sure they match current main)
-# - Settings references (adapt to current settings.py)
-# - Type imports (ensure no circular dependencies)
-```
-
-**After copying, immediately:**
-```bash
-cd server
-# Check for issues
-uv run ruff check reflector/video_platforms/
-# Fix any import errors or type issues
-```
-
-### Phase 2: Adapt to Current Main (2-3 hours)
-
-**2.1 Settings Integration**
-
-File: `server/reflector/settings.py`
-
-Add at the appropriate location (near existing Whereby settings):
-
-```python
-# Daily.co API Integration (NEW)
-DAILY_API_KEY: str | None = None
-DAILY_WEBHOOK_SECRET: str | None = None
-DAILY_SUBDOMAIN: str | None = None
-AWS_DAILY_S3_BUCKET: str | None = None
-AWS_DAILY_S3_REGION: str = "us-west-2"
-AWS_DAILY_ROLE_ARN: str | None = None
-
-# Platform Migration Feature Flags (NEW)
-DAILY_MIGRATION_ENABLED: bool = False  # Conservative default
-DAILY_MIGRATION_ROOM_IDS: list[str] = []
-DEFAULT_VIDEO_PLATFORM: Literal["whereby", "daily"] = "whereby"
-```
-
-**2.2 Database Migration**
-
-⚠️ **CRITICAL: Do NOT copy migration from reference**
-
-Generate new migration:
-```bash
-cd server
-uv run alembic revision -m "add_platform_support"
-```
-
-Edit the generated migration file to add `platform` column:
-```python
-def upgrade():
-    with op.batch_alter_table("room", schema=None) as batch_op:
-        batch_op.add_column(
-            sa.Column("platform", sa.String(), nullable=False, server_default="whereby")
-        )
-
-    with op.batch_alter_table("meeting", schema=None) as batch_op:
-        batch_op.add_column(
-            sa.Column("platform", sa.String(), nullable=False, server_default="whereby")
-        )
-```
-
-**2.3 Update Database Models**
-
-File: `server/reflector/db/rooms.py`
-
-Add platform field (preserve all existing fields from main):
-```python
-from typing import TYPE_CHECKING
-
-if TYPE_CHECKING:
-    from reflector.video_platforms.models import Platform
-
-class Room:
-    # ... ALL existing fields from main (calendar, webhooks, etc.) ...
-
-    # NEW: Platform field
-    platform: "Platform" = sqlalchemy.Column(
-        sqlalchemy.String,
-        nullable=False,
-        server_default="whereby",
-    )
-```
-
-File: `server/reflector/db/meetings.py`
-
-Same approach - add platform field, preserve everything from main.
-
-**2.4 Integrate Platform Abstraction into rooms.py**
-
-⚠️ **This is the most delicate part - main has calendar/webhook features**
-
-File: `server/reflector/views/rooms.py`
-
-Strategy:
-1. Add imports at top
-2. Modify meeting creation logic only
-3. Preserve all calendar/webhook/ICS logic from main
-
-```python
-# Add imports
-from reflector.video_platforms import (
-    create_platform_client,
-    get_platform_for_room,
-)
-
-# In create_meeting endpoint:
-# OLD: Direct Whereby API calls
-# NEW: Platform abstraction
-
-# Find the meeting creation section and replace:
-platform = get_platform_for_room(room.id)
-client = create_platform_client(platform)
-
-meeting_data = await client.create_meeting(
-    room_name_prefix=room.name,
-    end_date=meeting_data.end_date,
-    room=room,
-)
-
-# Then create Meeting record with meeting_data.platform, meeting_data.meeting_id, etc.
-```
-
-**2.5 Add Daily.co Webhook Handler**
-
-Copy from reference, minimal changes needed:
-```bash
-cp reflector-dailyco-reference/server/reflector/views/daily.py \
-   server/reflector/views/
-```
-
-Register in `server/reflector/app.py`:
-```python
-from reflector.views import daily
-
-app.include_router(daily.router, prefix="/v1/daily", tags=["daily"])
-```
-
-**2.6 Add Recording Processing Task**
-
-File: `server/reflector/worker/process.py`
-
-Add the `process_recording_from_url` task from reference (copy the function).
-
-### Phase 3: Frontend Adaptation (3-4 hours)
-
-**3.1 Determine Current API Client Pattern**
-
-First, check how main currently makes API calls:
-```bash
-cd www
-grep -r "api\." app/ | head -20
-# Look for patterns like: api.v1Something()
-```
-
-**3.2 Create Components**
-
-Copy component structure from reference but **rewrite all API calls**:
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p www/app/[roomName]/components
-```
-
-Files to create:
- `RoomContainer.tsx` - Platform router (mostly copy-safe, just fix imports)
- `DailyRoom.tsx` - Needs React Query API calls
- `WherebyRoom.tsx` - Extract current room page logic
-
-**Example React Query pattern** (adapt to your actual API):
-```typescript
-import { api } from '@/app/api/client'
-
-// In DailyRoom.tsx
-const handleConsent = async () => {
-  try {
-    await api.v1MeetingAudioConsent({
-      path: { meeting_id: meeting.id },
-      body: { consent: true },
-    })
-    // ...
-  } catch (error) {
-    // ...
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**3.3 Add Daily.co Dependency**
-
-Check current package manager:
-```bash
-cd www
-ls package-lock.json yarn.lock pnpm-lock.yaml
-```
-
-Then install:
-```bash
-# If using pnpm
-pnpm add @daily-co/daily-js@^0.81.0
-
-# If using yarn
-yarn add @daily-co/daily-js@^0.81.0
-```
-
-**3.4 Update TypeScript Types**
-
-After backend changes, regenerate types:
-```bash
-cd www
-pnpm openapi  # or yarn openapi
-```
-
-This should pick up the new `platform` field on Meeting type.
-
-### Phase 4: Testing (2-3 hours)
-
-**4.1 Copy Test Structure**
-
-```bash
-cp reflector-dailyco-reference/server/tests/test_video_platforms.py \
-   server/tests/
-
-cp reflector-dailyco-reference/server/tests/test_daily_webhook.py \
-   server/tests/
-```
-
-**4.2 Fix Test Imports and Fixtures**
-
-Update imports to match current test infrastructure:
- Check `server/tests/conftest.py` for fixture patterns
- Update database access patterns if changed
- Fix any import errors
-
-**4.3 Run Tests**
-
-```bash
-cd server
-# Run with environment variables for Mac
-REDIS_HOST=localhost \
-CELERY_BROKER_URL=redis://localhost:6379/1 \
-CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND=redis://localhost:6379/1 \
-uv run pytest tests/test_video_platforms.py -v
-```
-
-### Phase 5: Environment Configuration
-
-**Update `server/env.example`:**
-
-Add at the end:
-```bash
-# Daily.co API Integration
-DAILY_API_KEY=your-daily-api-key
-DAILY_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your-daily-webhook-secret
-DAILY_SUBDOMAIN=your-subdomain
-AWS_DAILY_S3_BUCKET=your-daily-bucket
-AWS_DAILY_S3_REGION=us-west-2
-AWS_DAILY_ROLE_ARN=arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT:role/DailyRecording
-
-# Platform Selection
-DAILY_MIGRATION_ENABLED=false           # Master switch
-DAILY_MIGRATION_ROOM_IDS=[]            # Specific room IDs
-DEFAULT_VIDEO_PLATFORM=whereby          # Default platform
-```
-
-## Decision Tree: Copy vs Adapt vs Rewrite
-
-```
-┌─ Is it pure abstraction logic? (base.py, registry.py, models.py)
-│  YES → Copy directly, review imports
-│  NO  → Continue ↓
-│
-├─ Does it touch database models?
-│  YES → Adapt carefully, preserve main's fields
-│  NO  → Continue ↓
-│
-├─ Does it make API calls on frontend?
-│  YES → Rewrite using React Query
-│  NO  → Continue ↓
-│
-├─ Is it a database migration?
-│  YES → Generate fresh from current schema
-│  NO  → Continue ↓
-│
-└─ Does it touch rooms.py or core business logic?
-   YES → Merge carefully, preserve calendar/webhooks
-   NO  → Safe to adapt from reference
-```
-
-## Verification Checklist
-
-After each phase, verify:
-
-**Phase 1 (Abstraction Layer):**
- [ ] `uv run ruff check server/reflector/video_platforms/` passes
- [ ] No circular import errors
- [ ] Can import `from reflector.video_platforms import create_platform_client`
-
-**Phase 2 (Backend Integration):**
- [ ] `uv run ruff check server/` passes
- [ ] Migration file generated (not copied)
- [ ] Room and Meeting models have platform field
- [ ] rooms.py still has calendar/webhook features
-
-**Phase 3 (Frontend):**
- [ ] `pnpm lint` passes
- [ ] No TypeScript errors
- [ ] No `@ts-ignore` for platform field
- [ ] API calls use React Query patterns
-
-**Phase 4 (Testing):**
- [ ] Tests can be collected: `pytest tests/test_video_platforms.py --collect-only`
- [ ] Database fixtures work
- [ ] Mock platform works
-
-**Phase 5 (Config):**
- [ ] env.example has Daily.co variables
- [ ] settings.py has all new variables
- [ ] No duplicate variable definitions
-
-## Common Pitfalls
-
-### 1. Database Schema Conflicts
-**Problem:** Reference removed fields that main has (calendar, webhooks)
-**Solution:** Always preserve main's fields, only add platform field
-
-### 2. Migration Conflicts
-**Problem:** Reference migration has wrong `down_revision`
-**Solution:** Always generate fresh migration from current main
-
-### 3. Frontend API Calls
-**Problem:** Reference uses old API client patterns
-**Solution:** Check current main's API usage, replicate that pattern
-
-### 4. Import Errors
-**Problem:** Circular imports with TYPE_CHECKING
-**Solution:** Use `if TYPE_CHECKING:` for Room/Meeting imports in video_platforms
-
-### 5. Test Database Issues
-**Problem:** Tests fail with "could not translate host name 'postgres'"
-**Solution:** Use environment variables: `REDIS_HOST=localhost DATABASE_URL=...`
-
-### 6. Preserved Features Broken
-**Problem:** Calendar/webhook features stop working
-**Solution:** Carefully review rooms.py diff, only change meeting creation, not calendar logic
-
-## File Modification Summary
-
-**New files (can copy):**
- `server/reflector/video_platforms/*.py` (entire directory)
- `server/reflector/views/daily.py`
- `server/tests/test_video_platforms.py`
- `server/tests/test_daily_webhook.py`
- `www/app/[roomName]/components/RoomContainer.tsx`
- `www/app/[roomName]/components/DailyRoom.tsx`
- `www/app/[roomName]/components/WherebyRoom.tsx`
-
-**Modified files (careful merging):**
- `server/reflector/settings.py` - Add Daily.co settings
- `server/reflector/db/rooms.py` - Add platform field
- `server/reflector/db/meetings.py` - Add platform field
- `server/reflector/views/rooms.py` - Integrate platform abstraction
- `server/reflector/worker/process.py` - Add process_recording_from_url
- `server/reflector/app.py` - Register daily router
- `server/env.example` - Add Daily.co variables
- `www/app/[roomName]/page.tsx` - Use RoomContainer
- `www/package.json` - Add @daily-co/daily-js
-
-**Generated files (do not copy):**
- `server/migrations/versions/XXXXXX_add_platform_support.py` - Generate fresh
-
-## Success Metrics
-
-Implementation is complete when:
- [ ] All tests pass (including new platform tests)
- [ ] Linting passes (ruff, pnpm lint)
- [ ] Migration applies cleanly: `uv run alembic upgrade head`
- [ ] Can create Whereby meeting (existing flow unchanged)
- [ ] Can create Daily.co meeting (with env vars set)
- [ ] Frontend loads without TypeScript errors
- [ ] No features from main were accidentally removed
-
-## Getting Help
-
-**Reference documentation locations:**
- Implementation plan: `PLAN.md`
- Reference implementation: `./reflector-dailyco-reference/`
- Current main codebase: `./ ` (current directory)
-
-**Compare implementations:**
-```bash
-# Compare specific files
-diff reflector-dailyco-reference/server/reflector/video_platforms/base.py \
-     server/reflector/video_platforms/base.py
-
-# See what changed in rooms.py between reference branch point and now
-git log --oneline --since="2025-08-01" -- server/reflector/views/rooms.py
-```
-
-**Key insight:** The reference branch validates the approach and provides working code patterns, but you're implementing fresh against current main to avoid merge conflicts and preserve all new features.

-# Daily.co Integration Test Plan
-
-## ✅ IMPLEMENTATION STATUS: Real Transcription Active
-
-**This test validates Daily.co multitrack recording integration with REAL transcription/diarization.**
-
-The implementation includes complete audio processing pipeline:
- **Multitrack recordings** from Daily.co S3 (separate audio stream per participant)
- **PyAV-based audio mixdown** with PTS-based track alignment
- **Real transcription** via Modal GPU backend (Whisper)
- **Real diarization** via Modal GPU backend (speaker identification)
- **Per-track transcription** with timestamp synchronization
- **Complete database entities** (recording, transcript, topics, participants, words)
-
-**Processing pipeline** (`PipelineMainMultitrack`):
-1. Download all audio tracks from Daily.co S3
-2. Align tracks by PTS (presentation timestamp) to handle late joiners
-3. Mix tracks into single audio file for unified playback
-4. Transcribe each track individually with proper offset handling
-5. Perform diarization on mixed audio
-6. Generate topics, summaries, and word-level timestamps
-7. Convert audio to MP3 and generate waveform visualization
-
-**Note:** A stub processor (`process_daily_recording`) exists for testing webhook flow without GPU costs, but the production code path uses `process_multitrack_recording` with full ML pipeline.
-

-## Test 4: Browser UI Test (Playwright MCP)
-
-**Using Claude Code MCP tools:**
-
-**Load room:**
-```
-Use: mcp__playwright__browser_navigate
-Input: {"url": "http://localhost:3000/test2"}
-
-Then wait 12 seconds for iframe to load
-```
-
-**Verify Daily.co iframe loaded:**
-```
-Use: mcp__playwright__browser_snapshot
-
-Expected in snapshot:
- iframe element with src containing "monadical.daily.co"
- Daily.co pre-call UI visible
-```
-
-**Take screenshot:**
-```
-Use: mcp__playwright__browser_take_screenshot
-Input: {"filename": "test2-before-join.png"}
-
-Expected: Daily.co pre-call UI with "Join" button visible
-```
-
-**Join meeting:**
-```
-Note: Daily.co iframe interaction requires clicking inside iframe.
-Use: mcp__playwright__browser_click
-Input: {"element": "Join button in Daily.co iframe", "ref": "<ref-from-snapshot>"}
-
-Then wait 5 seconds for call to connect
-```
-
-**Verify in-call:**
-```
-Use: mcp__playwright__browser_take_screenshot
-Input: {"filename": "test2-in-call.png"}
-
-Expected: "Waiting for others to join" or participant video visible
-```
-
-**Leave meeting:**
-```
-Use: mcp__playwright__browser_click
-Input: {"element": "Leave button in Daily.co iframe", "ref": "<ref-from-snapshot>"}
-```
-

-
-**Alternative: JavaScript snippets (for manual testing):**
-
-```javascript
-await page.goto('http://localhost:3000/test2');
-await new Promise(f => setTimeout(f, 12000));  // Wait for load
-
-// Verify iframe
-const iframes = document.querySelectorAll('iframe');
-// Expected: 1 iframe with src containing "monadical.daily.co"
-
-// Screenshot
-await page.screenshot({ path: 'test2-before-join.png' });
-
-// Join
-await page.locator('iframe').contentFrame().getByRole('button', { name: 'Join' }).click();
-await new Promise(f => setTimeout(f, 5000));
-
-// In-call screenshot
-await page.screenshot({ path: 'test2-in-call.png' });
-
-// Leave
-await page.locator('iframe').contentFrame().getByRole('button', { name: 'Leave' }).click();
-```

-
-## Test 5: Webhook Verification
-
-**Check server logs for webhooks:**
-```bash
-docker-compose logs --since 15m server 2>&1 | grep -i "participant joined\|recording started"
-```
-
-**Expected logs:**
-```
-[info] Participant joined | meeting_id=... | num_clients=1 | recording_type=cloud | recording_trigger=automatic-2nd-participant
-[info] Recording started | meeting_id=... | recording_id=... | platform=daily

-## Test 7: Database Check - Recording and Transcript
-
-**Check recording created:**
-```bash
-docker-compose exec -T postgres psql -U reflector -d reflector -c \
-  "SELECT id, bucket_name, object_key, status, meeting_id, recorded_at
-   FROM recording
-   ORDER BY recorded_at DESC LIMIT 1;"
-```
-
-**Expected:**
-```
-id: <recording-id-from-webhook>
-bucket_name: reflector-dailyco-local
-object_key: monadical/test2-<timestamp>/<recording-timestamp>-<uuid>-cam-audio-<track-start>.webm
-status: completed
-meeting_id: <meeting-id>
-recorded_at: <recent-timestamp>
-```
-
-**Check transcript created:**
-```bash
-docker compose exec -T postgres psql -U reflector -d reflector -c \
-  "SELECT id, title, status, duration, recording_id, meeting_id, room_id
-   FROM transcript
-   ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1;"
-```
-
-**Expected (REAL transcription):**
-```
-id: <transcript-id>
-title: <AI-generated title based on actual conversation content>
-status: uploaded  (audio file processed and available)
-duration: <actual meeting duration in seconds>
-recording_id: <same-as-recording-id-above>
-meeting_id: <meeting-id>
-room_id: 552640fd-16f2-4162-9526-8cf40cd2357e
-```
-
-**Note:** Title and content will reflect the ACTUAL conversation, not mock data. Processing time depends on recording length and GPU backend availability (Modal).
-
-**Verify audio file exists:**
-```bash
-ls -lh data/<transcript-id>/upload.webm
-```
-
-**Expected:**
-```
-rw-r--r-- 1 user staff ~100-200K Oct 10 18:48 upload.webm
-```
-
-**Check transcript topics (REAL transcription):**
-```bash
-TRANSCRIPT_ID=$(docker compose exec -T postgres psql -U reflector -d reflector -t -c \
-  "SELECT id FROM transcript ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1;")
-
-docker compose exec -T postgres psql -U reflector -d reflector -c \
-  "SELECT
-     jsonb_array_length(topics) as num_topics,
-     jsonb_array_length(participants) as num_participants,
-     short_summary,
-     title
-   FROM transcript
-   WHERE id = '$TRANSCRIPT_ID';"
-```
-
-**Expected (REAL data):**
-```
-num_topics: <varies based on conversation>
-num_participants: <actual number of participants who spoke>
-short_summary: <AI-generated summary of actual conversation>
-title: <AI-generated title based on content>
-```
-
-**Check topics contain actual transcription:**
-```bash
-docker compose exec -T postgres psql -U reflector -d reflector -c \
-  "SELECT topics->0->'title', topics->0->'summary', topics->0->'transcript'
-   FROM transcript
-   ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1;" | head -20
-```
-
-**Expected output:** Will contain the ACTUAL transcribed conversation from the Daily.co meeting, not mock data.
-
-**Check participants:**
-```bash
-docker compose exec -T postgres psql -U reflector -d reflector -c \
-  "SELECT participants FROM transcript ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1;" \
-  | python3 -c "import sys, json; data=json.loads(sys.stdin.read()); print(json.dumps(data, indent=2))"
-```
-
-**Expected (REAL diarization):**
-```json
-[
-  {
-    "id": "<uuid>",
-    "speaker": 0,
-    "name": "Speaker 1"
-  },
-  {
-    "id": "<uuid>",
-    "speaker": 1,
-    "name": "Speaker 2"
-  }
-]
-```
-
-**Note:** Speaker names will be generic ("Speaker 1", "Speaker 2", etc.) as determined by the diarization backend. Number of participants depends on how many actually spoke during the meeting.
-
-**Check word-level data:**
-```bash
-docker compose exec -T postgres psql -U reflector -d reflector -c \
-  "SELECT jsonb_array_length(topics->0->'words') as num_words_first_topic
-   FROM transcript
-   ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1;"
-```
-
-**Expected:**
-```
-num_words_first_topic: <varies based on actual conversation length and topic chunking>
-```
-
-**Verify speaker diarization in words:**
-```bash
-docker compose exec -T postgres psql -U reflector -d reflector -c \
-  "SELECT
-     topics->0->'words'->0->>'text' as first_word,
-     topics->0->'words'->0->>'speaker' as speaker,
-     topics->0->'words'->0->>'start' as start_time,
-     topics->0->'words'->0->>'end' as end_time
-   FROM transcript
-   ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1;"
-```
-
-**Expected (REAL transcription):**
-```
-first_word: <actual first word from transcription>
-speaker: 0, 1, 2, ... (actual speaker ID from diarization)
-start_time: <actual timestamp in seconds>
-end_time: <actual end timestamp>
-```
-
-**Note:** All timestamps and speaker IDs are from real transcription/diarization, synchronized across tracks.

-
-## Test 8: Recording Type Verification
-
-**Check what Daily.co received:**
-```bash
-curl -s -X GET "https://api.daily.co/v1/rooms/test2-<timestamp>" \
-  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DAILY_API_KEY" | python3 -m json.tool | grep "enable_recording"
-```
-
-**Expected:**
-```json
-"enable_recording": "raw-tracks"
-```
-
-**NOT:** `"enable_recording": "cloud"` (that would be wrong - we want raw tracks)
-
---
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Issue: No webhooks received
-
-**Check webhook state:**
-```bash
-curl -s -X GET "https://api.daily.co/v1/webhooks" \
-  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DAILY_API_KEY" | python3 -m json.tool
-```
-
-**If state is FAILED:**
-```bash
-cd server
-uv run python scripts/recreate_daily_webhook.py https://<ngrok-url>/v1/daily/webhook
-```
-
-### Issue: Webhooks return 422
-
-**Check server logs:**
-```bash
-docker-compose logs --tail=50 server | grep "Failed to parse webhook event"
-```
-
-**Common cause:** Event structure mismatch. Daily.co events use:
-```json
-{
-  "version": "1.0.0",
-  "type": "participant.joined",
-  "payload": {...},  // NOT "data"
-  "event_ts": 123.456  // NOT "ts"
-}
-```
-
-### Issue: Recording not starting
-
-1. **Check token has `sr: true`:**
-   - Decode JWT token from room_url query param
-   - Should contain `"sr": true`
-
-2. **Check Daily.co room config:**
-   - `enable_recording` must be set (not false)
-   - For raw-tracks: must be exactly `"raw-tracks"`
-
-3. **Check participant actually joined:**
-   - Logs should show "Participant joined"
-   - Must click "Join" button, not just pre-call screen
-
-### Issue: Recording in S3 but wrong format
-
-**Daily.co recording types:**
- `"cloud"` → Single MP4 file (`download_link` in webhook)
- `"raw-tracks"` → Multiple WebM files (`tracks` array in webhook)
- `"raw-tracks-audio-only"` → Only audio WebM files
-
-**Current implementation:** Always uses `"raw-tracks"` (better for transcription)
-
---
-
-## Quick Validation Commands
-
-**One-liner to verify everything:**
-```bash
-# 1. Check room exists
-docker-compose exec -T postgres psql -U reflector -d reflector -c \
-  "SELECT name, platform FROM room WHERE name = 'test2';" && \
-
-# 2. Create meeting
-MEETING=$(curl -s -X POST http://localhost:1250/v1/rooms/test2/meeting \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"allow_duplicated":false}') && \
-echo "$MEETING" | python3 -c "import sys,json; m=json.load(sys.stdin); print(f'Room: {m[\"room_name\"]}\nURL: {m[\"room_url\"][:80]}...')" && \
-
-# 3. Check Daily.co config
-ROOM_NAME=$(echo "$MEETING" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['room_name'])") && \
-curl -s -X GET "https://api.daily.co/v1/rooms/$ROOM_NAME" \
-  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DAILY_API_KEY" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(f'Recording: {json.load(sys.stdin)[\"config\"][\"enable_recording\"]}')"
-```
-
-**Expected output:**
-```
-name: test2, platform: whereby
-Room: test2-20251009192341
-URL: https://monadical.daily.co/test2-20251009192341?t=eyJhbGc...
-Recording: raw-tracks
-```

+# AsyncIO Event Loop Analysis for test_attendee_parsing_bug.py
+
+## Problem Summary
+The test passes but encounters an error during teardown where asyncpg tries to use a different/closed event loop, resulting in:
+- `RuntimeError: Task got Future attached to a different loop`
+- `RuntimeError: Event loop is closed`
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### 1. Multiple Event Loop Creation Points
+
+The test environment creates event loops at different scopes:
+
+1. **Session-scoped loop** (conftest.py:27-34):
+   - Created once per test session
+   - Used by session-scoped fixtures
+   - Closed after all tests complete
+
+2. **Function-scoped loop** (pytest-asyncio default):
+   - Created for each async test function
+   - This is the loop that runs the actual test
+   - Closed immediately after test completes
+
+3. **AsyncPG internal loop**:
+   - AsyncPG connections store a reference to the loop they were created with
+   - Used for connection lifecycle management
+
+### 2. Event Loop Lifecycle Mismatch
+
+The issue occurs because:
+
+1. **Session fixture creates database connection** on session-scoped loop
+2. **Test runs** on function-scoped loop (different from session loop)
+3. **During teardown**, the session fixture tries to rollback/close using the original session loop
+4. **AsyncPG connection** still references the function-scoped loop which is now closed
+5. **Conflict**: SQLAlchemy tries to use session loop, but asyncpg Future is attached to the closed function loop
+
+### 3. Configuration Issues
+
+Current pytest configuration:
+- `asyncio_mode = "auto"` in pyproject.toml
+- `asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope=session` (shown in test output)
+- `asyncio_default_test_loop_scope=function` (shown in test output)
+
+This mismatch between fixture loop scope (session) and test loop scope (function) causes the problem.
+
+## Solutions
+
+### Option 1: Align Loop Scopes (Recommended)
+Change pytest-asyncio configuration to use consistent loop scopes:
+
+```python
+# pyproject.toml
+[tool.pytest.ini_options]
+asyncio_mode = "auto"
+asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope = "function"  # Change from session to function
+```
+
+### Option 2: Use Function-Scoped Database Fixture
+Change the `session` fixture scope from session to function:
+
+```python
+@pytest_asyncio.fixture  # Remove scope="session"
+async def session(setup_database):
+    # ... existing code ...
+```
+
+### Option 3: Explicit Loop Management
+Ensure all async operations use the same loop:
+
+```python
+@pytest_asyncio.fixture
+async def session(setup_database, event_loop):
+    # Force using the current event loop
+    engine = create_async_engine(
+        settings.DATABASE_URL,
+        echo=False,
+        poolclass=NullPool,
+        connect_args={"loop": event_loop}  # Pass explicit loop
+    )
+    # ... rest of fixture ...
+```
+
+### Option 4: Upgrade pytest-asyncio
+The current version (1.1.0) has known issues with loop management. Consider upgrading to the latest version which has better loop scope handling.
+
+## Immediate Workaround
+
+For the test to run cleanly without the teardown error, you can:
+
+1. Add explicit cleanup in the test:
+```python
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+async def test_attendee_parsing_bug(session):
+    # ... existing test code ...
+
+    # Explicit cleanup before fixture teardown
+    await session.commit()  # or await session.close()
+```
+
+2. Or suppress the teardown error (not recommended for production):
+```python
+@pytest.fixture
+async def session(setup_database):
+    # ... existing setup ...
+    try:
+        yield session
+        await session.rollback()
+    except RuntimeError as e:
+        if "Event loop is closed" not in str(e):
+            raise
+    finally:
+        await session.close()
+```
+
+## Recommendation
+
+The cleanest solution is to align the loop scopes by setting both fixture and test loop scopes to "function" scope. This ensures each test gets its own clean event loop and avoids cross-contamination between tests.

-# Multitrack Pipeline Fix Summary
-
-## Problem
-Whisper timestamps were incorrect because it ignores leading silence in audio files. Daily.co tracks can have arbitrary amounts of silence before speech starts.
-
-## Solution
-**Pad tracks BEFORE transcription using stream metadata `start_time`**
-
-This makes Whisper timestamps automatically correct relative to recording start.
-
-## Key Changes in `main_multitrack_pipeline_fixed.py`
-
-### 1. Added `pad_track_for_transcription()` method (lines 55-172)
-
-```python
-async def pad_track_for_transcription(
-    self,
-    track_data: bytes,
-    track_idx: int,
-    storage,
-) -> tuple[bytes, str]:
-```
-
- Extracts stream metadata `start_time` using PyAV
- Creates PyAV filter graph with `adelay` filter to add padding
- Stores padded track to S3 and returns URL
- Uses same audio processing library (PyAV) already in the pipeline
-
-### 2. Modified `process()` method
-
-#### REMOVED (lines 255-302):
- Entire filename parsing for offsets - NOT NEEDED ANYMORE
- The complex regex parsing of Daily.co filenames
- Offset adjustment after transcription
-
-#### ADDED (lines 371-382):
- Padding step BEFORE transcription:
-```python
-# PAD TRACKS BEFORE TRANSCRIPTION - THIS IS THE KEY FIX!
-padded_track_urls: list[str] = []
-for idx, data in enumerate(track_datas):
-    if not data:
-        padded_track_urls.append("")
-        continue
-
-    _, padded_url = await self.pad_track_for_transcription(
-        data, idx, storage
-    )
-    padded_track_urls.append(padded_url)
-```
-
-#### MODIFIED (lines 385-435):
- Transcribe PADDED tracks instead of raw tracks
- Removed all timestamp offset adjustment code
- Just set speaker ID - timestamps already correct!
-
-```python
-# NO OFFSET ADJUSTMENT NEEDED!
-# Timestamps are already correct because we transcribed padded tracks
-# Just set speaker ID
-for w in t.words:
-    w.speaker = idx
-```
-
-## Why This Works
-
-1. **Stream metadata is authoritative**: Daily.co sets `start_time` in the WebM container
-2. **PyAV respects metadata**: `audio_stream.start_time * audio_stream.time_base` gives seconds
-3. **Padding before transcription**: Whisper sees continuous audio from time 0
-4. **Automatic alignment**: Word at 51s in padded track = 51s in recording
-
-## Testing
-
-Process the test recording (daily-20251020193458) and verify:
- Participant 0 words appear at ~2s
- Participant 1 words appear at ~51s
- No word interleaving
- Correct chronological order
-
-## Files

- **Original**: `main_multitrack_pipeline.py`
- **Fixed**: `main_multitrack_pipeline_fixed.py`
- **Test data**: `/Users/firfi/work/clients/monadical/reflector/1760988935484-*.webm`

Mathieu Virbel	606c5f5059	refactor: use 'import sqlalchemy as sa' pattern in db/base.py - Replace individual SQLAlchemy imports with 'import sqlalchemy as sa' - Prefix all SQLAlchemy types with 'sa.' for better code clarity - Move all imports to the top of the file (remove mid-file Computed import) - Improve code readability by making SQLAlchemy usage explicit	2025-09-23 00:57:05 -06:00
Mathieu Virbel	5e036d17b6	refactor: remove excessive comments from test code - Simplified docstrings to be more concise - Removed obvious line comments that explain basic operations - Kept only essential comments for complex logic - Maintained comments that explain algorithms or non-obvious behavior Based on research, the teardown errors are a known issue with pytest-asyncio and SQLAlchemy async sessions. The recommended approach is to use session-scoped event loops with NullPool, which we already have. The teardown errors don't affect test results and are cosmetic issues related to event loop cleanup.	2025-09-22 21:09:17 -06:00
