- FastAPI service that manages conversations and messages in PostgreSQL
(SQLAlchemy 2.0 async + asyncpg) and streams assistant responses back
to the client via sse-starlette, forwarding the inference service SSE
contract unchanged.
- Auth guard validates every request against the auth service
/auth/validate endpoint (X-Internal-API-Key) and caches results in an
in-process TTL cache (5 min, 1024 entries) to absorb request bursts.
- Every query filters by authenticated user_id; cross-user access
returns 404. Message send flow auto-titles the first message,
persists the streamed assistant response after the client disconnects,
and records token_count + inference_time_ms.
- /api/models{,/swap} proxies the inference admin surface; swap
requires is_admin on the validated user.
- Structured JSON logging via structlog with trace_id + user_id
ContextVars attached to every log line.
- Test suite (pytest + aiosqlite + respx) covers CRUD, user scoping,
streaming SSE persistence, regenerate, model proxy admin gate,
and the stream proxy error path. 16/16 passing.

Chat API Service
Orchestration layer for samosaChaat conversations. Manages conversation state in PostgreSQL, authenticates every request via the auth service, and proxies streaming inference requests via Server-Sent Events.
Endpoints
| Method | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GET | /api/health |
Liveness probe (unauthenticated) |
| GET | /api/conversations |
List the authenticated user's conversations, grouped by date |
| POST | /api/conversations |
Create a new conversation |
| GET | /api/conversations/{id} |
Fetch a conversation + full message history |
| PUT | /api/conversations/{id} |
Update the conversation title |
| DELETE | /api/conversations/{id} |
Delete a conversation (cascade deletes messages) |
| POST | /api/conversations/{id}/messages |
Append a user message and stream the assistant response |
| POST | /api/conversations/{id}/regenerate |
Delete the last assistant message and regenerate it |
| GET | /api/models |
Proxy to inference GET /models |
| POST | /api/models/swap |
Proxy to inference POST /models/swap (admin only) |
All authenticated endpoints expect Authorization: Bearer <jwt>. The chat API
validates the token by calling the auth service POST /auth/validate with the
shared X-Internal-API-Key header and caches the result for 5 minutes.

Tests use SQLite + aiosqlite for a throwaway database, respx to mock the auth service, and hand-crafted httpx mocks for the inference SSE stream.
