PR snapshot
Title: EPAC-661: PBO publication-index ingestion (pbo-dpb.ca)
Body:
This PR implements the PBO publication-index ingestion as specified in EPAC-661.
Changes
- Created
backend/pbo/pbo_ingest.py: A Python scraper that uses the PBO JSON API (rest-*.pbo-dpb.ca/publications) to fetch publication metadata. - Created
backend/migrations/010_pbo_publications.sql: Postgres migration for thepbo_publicationstable. - Created
backend/pbo/test_pbo_ingest.py: Unit tests for category mapping and content hashing.
Verification Evidence
- Unit tests passed:
python3 backend/pbo/test_pbo_ingest.py - Dry-run verification:
python3 backend/pbo/pbo_ingest.py --dry-run --no-backfillsuccessfully fetched and parsed 15 publications from the live API. - Verified PDF artifact URLs and verbatim abstracts are correctly extracted.
Implementation Notes
- The PBO website has recently transitioned to a Vue-based SPA. The scraper was refactored from HTML parsing to JSON API consumption for reliability and performance.
- Idempotency is maintained via
source_urlas unique key andcontent_hashfor change detection. - Methodology categories are mapped using both API
typefields and keyword analysis of titles and abstracts.

- Verdict:
request_changes - Reviewer boundary:
review_only - Acceptance criteria coverage: covered=5, missing=1, unclear=0
Summary
The PR correctly implements the PBO scraper logic and SQL schema but violates the core backend architecture by using third-party dependencies (psycopg2) and implementing database ingestion directly in Python. Per project standards (CLAUDE.md), Python scripts should be minimal, zero-dependency extractors that emit JSON for the Go-based loader. Additionally, the ingestion job is not yet registered for daily execution.
Actionable findings
- required / required_autonomous_fix — Architectural violation: Python script uses third-party DB driver (psycopg2) (
backend/pbo/pbo_ingest.py:222)- CLAUDE.md mandates that Python ingest scripts under
backend/must be 'stdlib only' with no third-party dependencies. They are intended to be 'extractors' that emit JSON data to be consumed by the Go-based loader (backend/loader/). Implementingupsert_publicationsdirectly in Python viapsycopg2bypasses this architecture and introduces an unauthorized dependency. - Actionability:

- required / required_autonomous_fix — Missing scheduler registration for daily run
- The acceptance criteria require a 'Daily ingestion job', but the PR does not include a GitHub Action, crontab entry, or registration in the pipeline runner to execute this script on a schedule. While the script is idempotent and backfill-ready, it will not run automatically without registration.
- Actionability:

- nit / follow_up — Incomplete change detection for methodology_category (
backend/pbo/pbo_ingest.py:268)- In
upsert_publications, theON CONFLICTupdate is only triggered ifcontent_hash,pdf_url, orsummary_textchange. If the_normalize_categorylogic is updated in the future, existing records won't have their category updated unless one of the other monitored fields also changes. AddingOR pbo_publications.methodology_category IS DISTINCT FROM EXCLUDED.methodology_categoryto theWHEREclause would ensure full synchronization. - Actionability:

_ssl_contextfunction attempts to load specific CA bundle paths like/opt/homebrew/etc/ca-certificates/cert.pem. This is brittle and environment-specific. Usingssl.create_default_context()is typically sufficient as it uses the system trust store and is more portable across CI and production environments. - Actionability:

PROMPT: Address requested changes on the existing PR. 1. Architectural violation: Refactored pbo_ingest.py to be stdlib only and emit JSON. 2. Missing scheduler: Added .github/workflows/pbo-ingestion.yml. 3. Incomplete change detection: Updated ON CONFLICT in backend/loader/main.go. 4. Brittle SSL cert paths: Switched to ssl.create_default_context() in pbo_ingest.py.
- Remove backend/loader/loader binary from git tracking and add to .gitignore - Drop unused `os` and `urlparse` imports from pbo_ingest.py Co-Authored-By: riddim-reviewer-bot <reviewer-bot@riddimsoftware.com>

Solid implementation. The architecture is correct: stdlib-only Python extractor emitting JSON consumed by the Go loader, daily GitHub Actions schedule, idempotent upserts with full change detection including methodology_category.
Fixed in this review pass:
- Removed committed
backend/loader/loaderbinary from git tracking; addedbackend/loader/loaderandbackend/*/loaderto.gitignoreso futurego buildruns don't accidentally commit the output - Dropped unused
import osandfrom urllib.parse import urlparsefrompbo_ingest.py
Left alone:
_normalize_categoryfallback logic — the keyword map is intentionally conservative; edge cases produce"other"which is correct and queryablebackfill=Trueas the argparse default — safe because--no-backfillis what CI passes on scheduled runs; manual one-offs should always backfill
All 7 Python unit tests pass. Go build clean. ✅
