Alex 37d93cbd86 Parse documents on a Celery parsing worker via a read_document tool
Replace the sandbox Docling extractor with read_document, backed by the in-process
backend parser (the same one ingestion uses) and offloaded to a dedicated
'parsing' Celery queue so it can run on GPU-capable workers with predictable RAM.
The tool resolves the input ref under the run-scoped gate, enqueues the parse,
and awaits it with a timeout (degrading to an error rather than hanging); the
worker independently re-resolves the artifact through the same gate and never
trusts a raw path. Untrusted files get the upload path's safeguards (extension
whitelist, size cap, sanitized temp file, cleanup). Options: output
(markdown/text/structured/chunks), ocr, pages, engine, max_chars, include_tables,
persist, json_schema. The workflow native-file 'extract' fallback now uses the
same worker path, so document parsing no longer needs the sandbox and works on
every backend.

Also fixes the branch's periodic-task test (the sandbox reaper made it 12) and
points the dev and e2e Celery workers at the parsing queue.

Welcome to DocsGPT Devcontainer

Welcome to the DocsGPT development environment! This guide will help you get started quickly.

Starting Services

To run DocsGPT, you need to start three main services: Flask (backend), Celery (task queue), and Vite (frontend). Here are the commands to start each service within the devcontainer:

Vite (Frontend)

cd frontend
npm run dev -- --host

Backend (ASGI)

Run the full app under uvicorn (serves /mcp and the async SSE reconnect routes, and matches production):

uvicorn application.asgi:asgi_app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 7091 --reload

flask --app application/app.py run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=7091 is faster but serves only the WSGI Flask app — it omits /mcp and the reconnect reader GET /api/messages/<id>/events, so a dropped stream won't auto-resume.

Celery (Task Queue)

celery -A application.app.celery worker -l INFO -Q docsgpt,parsing

The parsing queue serves document parsing (the read_document tool / workflow native-file parse); without it those calls hang DOCUMENT_PARSE_TIMEOUT then error. A dedicated -Q parsing worker can be GPU-enabled for heavier parsers.

Github Codespaces Instructions

1. Make Ports Public:

Go to the "Ports" panel in Codespaces (usually located at the bottom of the VS Code window).

For both port 5173 and 7091, right-click on the port and select "Make Public".

2. Update VITE_API_HOST:

After making port 7091 public, copy the public URL provided by Codespaces for port 7091.

Open the file frontend/.env.development.

Find the line VITE_API_HOST=http://localhost:7091.

Replace http://localhost:7091 with the public URL you copied from Codespaces.
