Summary

Transforms the WELLab repository from documentation-only (README + SKILL.md + zip file) into a complete, production-quality AI-enabled research platform — 129 files, 30,000+ lines across 6 commits.

What's included

Full-Stack Application

  • Frontend: React/Vite/TypeScript/Tailwind with 3 dashboards (Participant, Researcher, Policy), error boundaries, lazy loading, custom hooks, auth context, design system components (Card, Button, Badge, Spinner), WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility
  • Backend: Express/TypeScript API with Helmet, CORS lockdown, Zod validation, JWT auth with RBAC, pagination, request ID tracking, compression, graceful shutdown, global error handler
  • ML Pipelines: 4 Python engines (Emotional Dynamics, Health, Lifespan Trajectory, Cognitive Risk) with model serialization, custom exceptions, FastAPI serving layer, data drift detection

Claude API Insight Engine

  • AI-powered strength-framed participant insights, trend narratives, research summaries, policy briefs
  • Safety guardrails: banned clinical terms, PII redaction, confidence qualifiers, human review flags

AWS Infrastructure (CDK)

  • 7 stacks: DynamoDB, Cognito auth, API Gateway + Lambda, SageMaker ML, CloudFront, CloudWatch monitoring, CodePipeline CI/CD
  • Production approval gates, least-privilege IAM, encryption at rest + in transit

DynamoDB Data Access Layer

  • Generic repository pattern with 6 entity-specific repos
  • Single-table design with GSIs for status and cohort queries

Observability & Documentation

  • OpenAPI 3.0 spec with Swagger UI at /api/docs
  • OpenTelemetry distributed tracing + custom metrics
  • Deep health checks with Kubernetes liveness/readiness probes
  • 7 reference docs, 4 IRB-ready ML model cards, 6 research Jupyter notebooks

Developer Experience

  • Docker multi-stage build + docker-compose
  • Makefile with unified commands
  • GitHub Actions CI/CD with security scanning, coverage gates
  • Pre-commit hooks, pinned dependencies, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md

Research & Ethics

  • Cross-cultural fairness auditing (demographic parity, disparate impact, equalized odds, calibration)
  • 34 passing ML tests
  • Reproducible seeds (Python, NumPy, PyTorch, CUDA)
  • HIPAA-adjacent compliance documentation

Test plan

  • Verify npm install and pip install -r requirements.txt succeed
  • Run npm run dev — frontend loads at localhost:5173
  • Run npm run api:dev — backend serves at localhost:3001
  • Verify Swagger UI at localhost:3001/api/docs
  • Run pytest tests/ — 34 ML tests pass
  • Run make lint — no lint errors
  • Review CDK stacks with cd infra && npx cdk synth
  • Run research notebooks in VS Code / Jupyter
  • Review model cards for IRB readiness
  • Verify Docker build with make docker-build

Backend hardening:
- Add helmet, CORS lockdown, compression, request ID tracking, request logging
- Global error handler, graceful shutdown (SIGTERM/SIGINT)
- Zod schema validation replacing basic validation middleware
- JWT auth with role-based access control, extended Express Request types
- Pagination helper with sortBy/sortOrder on all list endpoints
- Async error handler wrapper for all route handlers
- Centralized mock data service, extracted from route handlers
- API versioning prefix (/api/v1/)

Frontend elevation:
- React Error Boundary with recovery UI
- Lazy-loaded routes with Suspense loading spinner
- Custom hooks: useApi (fetch/loading/error/retry), useParticipant, useAuth
- Auth context provider with role-based state
- Design system: Card, Button, Badge, Spinner, SectionHeader components
- Accessibility: ARIA labels, skip-to-main link, focus ring styles, semantic HTML
- 404 NotFound page, fixed tsconfig strictness
- API client: AbortController timeout, auth injection, retry with backoff

ML production-readiness:
- Model serialization (joblib save/load) on all 4 ML classes
- Custom exception hierarchy (ModelNotFittedError, SchemaValidationError, etc.)
- Fixed seed management (random, numpy, torch, PYTHONHASHSEED, cudnn)
- FastAPI serving layer with Pydantic models and health check
- Data drift detection (PSI, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, chi-squared)
- Enhanced fairness audit: equalized odds, calibration, confidence intervals
- YAML config loader with environment variable overrides

Infrastructure hardening:
- Pinned all Python deps to exact versions (== not >=)
- Docker multi-stage build + docker-compose for local dev
- Makefile with unified commands (install, dev, test, lint, build, clean)
- CI/CD: removed || true, added security scanning, coverage gates, dep caching
- Pre-commit hooks (black, flake8, mypy, eslint, prettier)
- CONTRIBUTING.md with dev setup, branch conventions, ethics review process
- SECURITY.md with vulnerability disclosure and HIPAA compliance notes
- Fixed .env.example with all required vars and documentation
