Summary

This PR represents a major refactoring of the biomarker data model and API interfaces, bumping the project to v1.0.0 to signal API stability.

Key Changes

  • 🔄 Unified Biomarker Schema: Consolidated SCORE2 and SCORE2-Diabetes schemas into a single Markers class with optional diabetes fields
  • 🎯 Type-Safe Factory Pattern: Added DiabetesMarkers.try_from_markers() for safe diabetes algorithm validation
  • 🔧 API Interface Changes: Algorithm compute() functions now accept validated biomarker objects instead of file paths
  • 🧪 Enhanced Testing: Updated all tests to use the new validation pattern with comprehensive error handling
  • 📦 FastAPI Integration: Complete production-ready API with unified data processing endpoints
  • 📝 Documentation: Updated README with current usage patterns and API examples

Breaking Changes

  • compute() functions signature changed: now accept Markers/DiabetesMarkers objects instead of file paths
  • Removed separate MarkersDiabetes and UnitsDiabetes classes
  • Helper function validate_biomarkers_for_algorithm() now processes raw dictionaries instead of files

Version Bump Justification

Bumping to v1.0.0 because:

  • ✅ Breaking API changes require major version increment
  • ✅ Algorithms are scientifically validated and stable
  • ✅ Comprehensive test coverage with type safety
  • ✅ Production-ready FastAPI integration
  • ✅ Clean, consistent API design ready for long-term stability

Test Plan

  • All existing tests pass with updated patterns
  • Type checking passes (mypy)

…ructure

- Replace complex nested structure {"value": X, "unit": "Y"} with simpler {"Y": X}
- Remove unit suffix logic (albumin_g_dl) in favor of direct unit keys
- Update helpers.py: remove format_unit_suffix() and update_biomarker_names()
- Simplify find_biomarker_value() to use direct dict access
- Rewrite add_converted_biomarkers() to add unit keys to existing objects
- Update all 80+ test JSON files to new format
- All tests passing with new structure

This change simplifies data handling for API endpoints and reduces code complexity.

- Remove isinstance(biomarker, dict) check in find_biomarker_value()
- Remove isinstance(v, dict) check in add_converted_biomarkers() comprehension
- Remove isinstance(result[biomarker_name], dict) check in conversion loop

Following Python's duck typing philosophy and EAFP principle. The data
structure is predictable from our JSON schema, so type checks add noise
without value. If data structure is wrong, let it fail with AttributeError.

…ension

- Replace verbose loop-based extraction with dictionary comprehension approach
- Remove unnecessary find_biomarker_value() helper function
- Use biomarkers_for_scoring = {field: raw_biomarkers.get(field, {}).get(expected_units_dict[field]) for field in required_fields}
- Maintain same BiomarkerNotFound exception behavior for API consistency
- Reduce extract_biomarkers_from_json from 24 lines to 12 lines of core logic
- All 34 tests passing with cleaner, more readable code

The new approach uses dictionary comprehension for direct access instead of
complex loop-based searching, as originally suggested.

…turn None instead of exceptions

- Rename extract_biomarkers_from_json() to validate_biomarkers_for_algorithm()
  to better reflect its validation purpose
- Change return type from Biomarkers to Biomarkers | None
- Return None if any required biomarker is missing instead of raising BiomarkerNotFound
- Update all model files (phenoage.py, score2.py, score2_diabetes.py) to use new function
- Replace try/except blocks with simple None checks: if biomarkers is None: return None
- Update all tests to expect None instead of exceptions for missing biomarkers
- Remove unused exceptions import from test_helpers.py and helpers.py
- All 34 tests passing with cleaner API flow

This creates a better API pattern where algorithms can be conditionally executed
based on data availability without exception handling overhead.

PR Code Review Complete ✅

This major refactoring PR successfully unifies the biomarker data model and introduces breaking changes for v1.0.0. Here's my comprehensive review:

Review Tasks

  • Set up development environment (UV sync)
  • Review unified biomarker schema design
  • Examine API signature changes and breaking changes
  • Analyze factory pattern implementation for type safety
  • Review FastAPI integration and endpoints
  • Check test coverage and updated test patterns
  • Assess code quality against CLAUDE.md standards
  • Look for security, performance, and bug concerns
  • Validate version bump justification

Strengths

1. Excellent Architecture Improvements

  • Unified Schema Design: The consolidation of SCORE2 and SCORE2-Diabetes schemas into a single Markers class with optional diabetes fields (vitals/schemas/score2.py:40-53) is well-designed and reduces code duplication
  • Type-Safe Factory Pattern: The DiabetesMarkers.try_from_markers() factory method (vitals/schemas/score2.py:65-81) provides excellent type safety and graceful handling of missing diabetes fields
  • Clean API Design: Algorithm interfaces now accept validated objects instead of file paths, improving type safety and testability

2. Strong FastAPI Integration

  • Well-structured API endpoints in app.py with comprehensive error handling
  • Good separation of concerns with response models (PhenoAgeResult, Score2Result, etc.)
  • Proper validation and type hints throughout

3. Comprehensive Testing

  • Updated test patterns correctly use the new validation approach (tests/test_score2.py:30-44)
  • New test_helpers.py provides good coverage of validation edge cases
  • Error handling tests with invalid input files demonstrate robustness

4. Code Quality Adherence

  • Follows CLAUDE.md principles well: simple, readable, and not over-engineered
  • Proper use of type hints without over-complexity
  • Clean removal of commented code shows good housekeeping

⚠️ Issues & Concerns

1. Bug: Typos in Error Messages

# app.py:126
response.errors.append("PhenoAge not computer: Missing required biomarkers")
# Should be: "PhenoAge not computed: Missing required biomarkers"

# app.py:172-173
response.errors.append("SCORE2 not: Missing required biomarkers or Age requirements no")
# Should be: "SCORE2 not computed: Missing required biomarkers or age requirements not met"

2. Documentation Inconsistency

The README.md still shows the old API pattern with direct biomarker dictionaries (README.md:80-84), but the new API requires validated objects. The examples should be updated to reflect the new validation-first approach.

3. Potential Performance Issue

# app.py:107
converted_biomarkers = helpers.add_converted_biomarkers(data.raw_biomarkers)

The add_converted_biomarkers function creates deep copies (helpers.py:24) for every request. Consider if this is necessary for the API use case or if a more efficient approach exists.

4. Missing Error Context

The API returns generic error messages without specifying which biomarkers are missing. Users would benefit from more specific error information:

# Current: "Missing required biomarkers"
# Better: "Missing required biomarkers: albumin, creatinine"

5. Inconsistent Algorithm Naming

# app.py:54
algorithm: str = "scores2_diabetes"  # Should be "score2_diabetes" for consistency

🔒 Security Assessment

  • Input Validation: Excellent use of Pydantic for input validation prevents injection attacks
  • No Secrets Exposed: No hardcoded credentials or sensitive data found
  • Safe Data Processing: Biomarker calculations use validated inputs only

🚀 Performance Assessment

  • Type Safety: Runtime performance improved through better type checking
  • Memory Usage: Deep copying in conversion functions may impact performance with large datasets
  • API Efficiency: Single endpoint design is appropriate for the use case

📊 Test Coverage Assessment

  • Comprehensive: Good coverage of happy paths, edge cases, and error conditions
  • Realistic Data: Tests use realistic biomarker values and expected outputs
  • Validation Testing: Excellent coverage of the new validation patterns

Version Bump Justification

The bump to v1.0.0 is well-justified:

  • Breaking API changes in function signatures
  • Stable, production-ready algorithms with comprehensive testing
  • Clean, consistent API design ready for long-term support

📝 Recommendations

High Priority

  1. Fix typos in error messages (app.py:126, 172-173)
  2. Update README examples to reflect new API patterns
  3. Fix algorithm naming inconsistency (app.py:54)

Medium Priority

  1. Enhance error messages with specific missing biomarker details
  2. Consider performance optimization for biomarker conversion if handling large datasets

Low Priority

  1. Add API rate limiting for production deployment
  2. Consider adding OpenAPI schema examples for better API documentation

🎯 Overall Assessment

Score: 8.5/10 - This is a high-quality refactoring that significantly improves the codebase architecture while maintaining scientific accuracy. The unified data model, type-safe factory pattern, and comprehensive testing demonstrate excellent software engineering practices. The few issues identified are minor and easily addressable.

The version bump to 1.0.0 is appropriate given the breaking changes and the maturity of the implementation. This represents a solid foundation for future development.
