+# APEX Backend on HuggingFace Spaces
+
+This Space hosts the **APEX** race-engineer backend for the IBM SkillsBuild AI Builders Challenge May 2026 submission. The frontend lives at <https://apex-one-black.vercel.app>; this Space is the Python FastAPI backend it calls.
+

+## Honesty surface

+- Forecast engine: deterministic seasonal-naive baseline. Frozen TTM r2 wire is gated behind `APEX_ENABLE_TTM=1` Space env (see Phase 4 Day 4 G4 FAIL pivot in [`logs/day-04-g4.md`](https://github.com/StephenSook/apex/blob/main/logs/day-04-g4.md)).
+- Narrator engine: OpenRouter Granite 4.1 8B when `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is set; deterministic template floor otherwise. Honest engine surfaced in the per-node trace detail.
+- Orchestration: deterministic 6-node Python state machine modeled on LangGraph semantics; not the `langgraph` package runtime. See [`docs/decision-log.md`](https://github.com/StephenSook/apex/blob/main/docs/decision-log.md) D-067.

+
+Closes Gemini honesty audit finding #3 (the default `_default_text_generator`
+echoes the prompt; the narrator never invoked a real LLM). This module
+provides a drop-in `TextGenerator` callable that posts the assembled
+narrator prompt to OpenRouter's OpenAI-compatible chat completions API
+against an IBM Granite 4.1 8B model.

+deterministic Narrator floor. This is the same env-driven swap-point
+pattern as the Stephen-side `/api/openrouter-stream` route at
+`app/frontend/app/api/openrouter-stream/route.ts`.
+
+Production routing per `docs/decision-log.md` D-052 + D-054:
+  - frontend `/api/openrouter-stream` is the **default** Granite path
+    for AICopilotChat (Stephen lane);
+  - this backend module is the LangGraph `instruct` node path used by
+    the `/api/analyze-upload` end-to-end pipeline (Vinh lane);
+  - both share the same OpenRouter `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` env secret on
+    the deployed surface; only the FRONTEND production deploy holds it
+    today, so on backend deploys without it set the narrator falls
+    back to the deterministic floor.
+
+Self-Correcting Retry Loop (OVERRIDE steal #1 per
+`project_apex_override_competitor.md`): retries are managed by the
+calling `Narrator.narrate_with_retry()`, which feeds an
+`attempt` index into the generator. We use the attempt index to attach
+a `# Retry directive` system message on attempts > 0 so the LLM knows

+at `app/frontend/app/api/timing-sheet-parse/route.ts`. The JSON shape this

+identically against either the canned-fixture mock or this V1 backend.
+
+Granite Vision 4.1 4B local inference is the V1 production path; this
+module currently ships the canned-fixture path (same five-lap stub as the
+frontend route) so the Phase 1 + Phase 2 contract tests run today. The
+real `_parse_with_granite_vision` swap is gated behind Phase 2 once the

+"""LangGraph 6-node state-machine runtime (Phase 4 task 4.1; M3-V14 swap-point).
+
+Per D-017 + plan task 4.1, the runtime orchestrates the 6-node pipeline:
+  ingestion -> rag -> projection -> guardian -> instruct -> provenance
+
+Each node consumes the prior node's output + emits a deterministic
+result. Trace surface (per-node duration_ms + status) wires the
+Stephen-side `LangGraphRuntimePanel` (commit `9867885`) via M3-V14.
+
+Implementation note: the orchestration is a deterministic Python state
+machine that matches the `langgraph` Python package's 6-node DAG
+semantics for the APEX pipeline. The `langgraph` package itself adds
+async edge-conditional routing + multi-LLM tool adapters that are
+overkill for the APEX deterministic pipeline; the runtime here is
+purpose-built for the 6-node order + deterministic execution + trace
+surface that the frontend M3-V14 panel consumes. See
+`docs/decision-log.md` D-017 + D-054 + D-067 for the orchestration
+choice rationale.
+
+wave-48 honesty close-outs:
+  - projection node: now invokes frozen TTM r2 via `_get_ttm_forecaster()`
+    when env `APEX_ENABLE_TTM` is set OR the singleton has already loaded;
+    falls back to the deterministic seasonal-naive `_coerce_to_horizon`
+    otherwise. Surfaces the engine name in the trace detail so judges +
+    reviewers can verify which forecast path executed.
+  - instruct node: receives the `Narrator` instance from the caller, which
+    can plug in a live OpenRouter Granite 4.1 8B `TextGenerator` (per
+    `apex.instruct.openrouter_generator`) without touching this module.

+Three responsibilities (in dependency order):

+     mini-sector backbone (D-011 path A; the wave-30 horizon contract is
+     30 steps at 1 Hz per shapes.HORIZON). Per-channel aggregation rules

+     preserve peaks (a 20 ms brake spike must not be averaged away), the
+     gear channel preserves the last value of each second, everything
+     else uses the mean.
+
+  2. `shape_ttm_input`: align an aggregated telemetry array to the
+     TTM-r2 context-window contract. Pads short telemetry by repeating
+     the first row (edge-pad, matching the G1 smoke convention at
+     `logs/day-03-g1-ttm-smoke.md`) and tail-truncates long telemetry so
+     the most recent context drives the prediction.
+
+  3. `TtmForecaster`: the actual frozen-model holder. Loaded once;
+     `.forecast()` returns a `(B, HORIZON, CHANNEL_COUNT)` tensor. Heavy
+     dependency (torch + tsfm_public + 600MB HF download) so it lives in
+     a class that's only instantiated when a forecast is actually
+     needed. Unit tests cover surfaces 1 + 2; the integration test
+     (task 2.10) covers surface 3 end-to-end.
+
+The engine-agnostic boundary lives downstream in `apex.physics.validator`
