Add OpenSearch-based semantic search for SEC filings

[jfrench9]

Summary

Implements end-to-end semantic search capability for SEC filing narratives, integrating OpenSearch as the text indexing and search engine. This feature enables users to search across SEC filing content (e.g., 10-K, 10-Q narratives) via a new search API, MCP tools, and an automated Dagster-based indexing pipeline.

Key Accomplishments

OpenSearch Infrastructure & Deployment

• Added CloudFormation template (cloudformation/opensearch.yaml) for provisioning an OpenSearch domain with fine-grained access control, VPC networking, and appropriate IAM policies
• Created a dedicated GitHub Actions deployment workflow for OpenSearch infrastructure
• Updated API and Dagster CloudFormation stacks with OpenSearch connectivity (environment variables, security groups, IAM permissions)
• Added OpenSearch to compose.yaml for local development

SEC Text Indexing Pipeline

• Introduced text_index.py — a comprehensive module for extracting, chunking, and indexing SEC filing text into OpenSearch with vector embeddings
• Built a narrative_extractor.py adapter for parsing structured narrative sections (MD&A, Risk Factors, etc.) from SEC filings
• Added a post-stage indexing sensor (sec_post_stage_index_sensor) in Dagster that triggers incremental text indexing after filings are staged
• Enhanced pipeline configs and jobs to support start-year filtering and incremental accession tracking

Search API & Service Layer

• Created operations/search/ package with an OpenSearch client wrapper and a search service supporting semantic, keyword, and hybrid search modes
• Added search API models (models/api/search.py) with structured request/response schemas
• Exposed a new /graphs/search router for SEC filing search queries
• Integrated search tools into the MCP tools framework for AI-assisted search

Environment & Configuration

• Added OpenSearch-related environment variables to .env.example and .env.local.example
• Extended robosystems/config/env.py with OpenSearch connection settings
• Updated pyproject.toml and uv.lock with new dependencies (opensearch-py)

Breaking Changes

None. This is a purely additive feature. Existing pipelines and APIs are unaffected.

Testing

• Added comprehensive unit tests across all new modules:
  • test_text_index.py — text indexing pipeline logic
  • test_narrative_extractor.py — narrative section extraction
  • test_sensors.py — Dagster sensor for post-stage indexing
  • test_search_tools.py — MCP search tool integration
  • test_client.py / test_service.py — OpenSearch client and service layer
  • test_search.py — Search router/API endpoint tests
• All tests use mocking for external dependencies (OpenSearch, S3, etc.)

Infrastructure Considerations

• OpenSearch Domain: Deploys a managed OpenSearch cluster with encryption at rest, node-to-node encryption, and HTTPS enforcement. Sizing and instance types are parameterized per environment via CloudFormation.
• Networking: The OpenSearch domain is placed within the existing VPC. Security groups are configured to allow access from the API and Dagster services.
• IAM: Both the API and Dagster task roles are granted OpenSearch HTTP access permissions.
• CI/CD: The new OpenSearch deployment workflow is integrated into the staging and production promotion pipelines, running prior to dependent service deployments.

Overall Assessment

This is a well-structured, production-quality feature addition. The layering is clean (adapters → operations → routers → MCP tools), multi-tenant isolation is properly enforced, and the infrastructure is solid. The test coverage is good with clear security-focused test cases.

I have a few issues to flag — one significant, a few moderate, and several minor.

---

Critical / Significant Issues

1. Silent exception swallowing in _get_indexed_accessions breaks incremental skip [text_index.py:137]

except Exception:
    pass  # ← bare silence

If OpenSearch is temporarily unavailable, this returns an empty set and the job re-indexes everything — creating thousands of upserts that shouldn't be needed. The upsert-by-_id behavior prevents data corruption, but it wastes significant compute/IO. At minimum this should log the exception. Fix this →

---

2. "Semantic search" framing vs. BM25 implementation mismatch

The PR title, description, and MCP tool descriptions all describe this as "semantic search" with "vector embeddings", but the actual implementation is pure BM25/keyword full-text search:

• INDEX_MAPPING has no dense_vector field
• OpenSearchClient.search() uses multi_match (BM25, not kNN)
• No embedding model is called anywhere

This is a meaningful difference — BM25 matches on exact/related terms, while semantic search would find conceptually related content even without term overlap. The current implementation is valuable and correct for the use case, but the framing should be updated: the MCP tool description says "semantic search", the PR summary says "vector embeddings". This could mislead users who expect semantic similarity. Fix this →

---

Moderate Issues

3. iterrows() performance at SEC scale [text_index.py:346–406]

Building lookup dicts with iterrows() across millions of rows is very slow. Consider:

# Instead of:
for _, row in entities_df.iterrows():
    entity_lookup[row.get("identifier")] = {...}

# Use:
entity_lookup = entities_df.set_index("identifier")[["ticker","name","cik"]].to_dict("index")

At SEC scale (tens of millions of facts), this could be the difference between a 5-minute and 90-minute job run.

4. Memory spike: all parquet tables loaded simultaneously [text_index.py:302–322]

Entity, Report, Element, and Fact tables are all loaded into memory simultaneously before any processing begins. The Fact table alone can be hundreds of millions of rows. Consider streaming the join or loading tables lazily. The _read_parquets_from_s3 call does concatenate into a single PyArrow table, so memory peaks at 4× single-table size simultaneously.

5. date_from/date_to fields have no format validation [models/api/search.py:18–22]

These are bare str fields. An invalid value like "not-a-date" passes Pydantic validation and hits OpenSearch, which returns a 400 that surfaces as a 500 to the API caller. Consider using datetime.date type or adding a Field(pattern=r"^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$") constraint. Fix this →

6. get_search_service() singleton: permanent None if OpenSearch is down at startup [service.py:141–160]

If OpenSearch is unavailable during the first call (process startup), _service stays None for the entire process lifetime. Any API call returns 503 until the process restarts. Consider a lazy-init pattern that retries on each call rather than failing permanently:

def get_search_service() -> SearchService | None:
    global _service
    if _service is not None:
        return _service
    # Try initializing on each call if not yet initialized
    ...

7. INDEX_MAPPING hardcodes "number_of_replicas": 0 [client.py:52]

The comment says "production will differ" but there's no mechanism to update this after initial index creation. The create_index_if_not_exists doesn't update settings if the index already exists. Production will launch with 0 replicas unless the domain is configured via CloudFormation index templates. Consider adding an explicit index settings update after creation, or documenting the manual step.

---

Minor Issues

8. sec_post_stage_index_sensor op name mapping is fragile [sensors.py:705]

asset_name = job_name.replace("_index", "_indexed")

This string manipulation is implicit. If a job name changes, the run config silently points to a wrong op name and the job will fail at runtime. Better to use an explicit dict mapping.

9. Unused req: Request parameter [search.py:36, 44]

Both endpoints accept req: Request but never use it. Minor cleanup.

10. SearchService.index_documents method appears unused [service.py:124–130]

This method exists and mutates the input list by setting graph_id, but doesn't appear to be called from any router or MCP tool. If it's meant as a future hook, a comment would help. If unused, consider removing it.

11. _HTMLTextExtractor skip-tag tracking is a boolean, not a stack [narrative_extractor.py:60–72]

Nested skip tags (e.g., <style> inside another skip tag) will toggle _skip off prematurely. Low risk for SEC filings in practice, but using a counter (_skip_depth) would be more correct.

---

Infrastructure & Security Observations (Positive)

• Multi-tenant isolation is solid: graph_id filtering is enforced at every level (write, search, and document fetch). The post-fetch graph_id verification in get_document is good defense-in-depth.
• CloudFormation security posture is excellent: VPC-only, IAM-based access (no public endpoint), TLS 1.2+ with PFS, encryption at rest, node-to-node encryption. The SecurityGroupEgress: [] (deny-all egress from OpenSearch) is a nice touch.
• Feature flag pattern (TEXT_SEARCH_ENABLED via SSM + 503 graceful degradation) is clean.
• Incremental indexing design via composite aggregation pagination is correct and efficient.
• DISABLE_SECURITY_PLUGIN=true in local compose is appropriate for dev.

---

Test Coverage Assessment

The test suite is solid. Highlights:

• TestSearch.test_always_filters_by_graph_id is the right critical test to have
• test_returns_none_when_graph_id_mismatch tests the defense-in-depth correctly
• TestGetIndexedAccessions.test_paginates_multiple_pages and test_returns_empty_set_on_exception cover the incremental logic well
• Missing: a test that validates invalid date_from/date_to returns a 422 (would catch issue Remove unused Account and Disclosure transaction nodes from graph schema #5)
• Missing: NarrativeExtractor test for TOC vs. content discrimination heuristic

---

Summary: This is a well-built feature. Address the semantic search naming issue (2) before merging as it affects user expectations. The iterrows() performance issue (3) will become a real bottleneck at SEC scale. The other items are improvements but not blockers.
