The ADR bundles four tightly-coupled sub-choices: the wire transport between BFF and AI service, the wire transport between BFF and SPA for chat streaming, how the protos reach the BFF, and how user identity travels across the boundary in v1. **Status: `proposed`.** No code lands in this PR — the goal is to lock the contract before the implementation chantier starts. The chosen design: | Boundary | Choice | |---|---| | BFF ↔ AI service | Native **gRPC HTTP/2** via `@grpc/grpc-js`, h2c in dev / h2 + TLS in prod | | BFF ↔ SPA (chat) | **`text/event-stream`** — one SSE frame per `ChatEvent` oneof case | | BFF ↔ SPA (unary) | Plain JSON endpoints for `RagService.Search` + `ModelsService.ListModels` | | Proto distribution | **Vendored** into `apps/portal-bff/src/grpc/proto/apf-ai/`, `ts-proto` codegen on demand, both `.proto` + generated `.ts` committed | | Identity (POC) | **Unsigned `Principal { subject, roles[], attributes{} }`** in the proto body — mirrors `apf-ai-service`'s ADR-0010 | | Production hardening | Choice between signed envelope and mTLS — **explicitly deferred** until first production deployment is in scope | ## What lands - `docs/decisions/0024-ai-service-relay-grpc-sse-bridge.md` — new MADR-formatted ADR with the four sub-choices, decision drivers, considered options, consequences, confirmation criteria, open production-hardening question, and the related-ADRs map. - `docs/decisions/README.md` — one new index row for ADR-0024 (`proposed`, tags `backend, security, observability`, 2026-05-19). No source-code changes. No `CLAUDE.md` update — the ADR stays in `proposed` until reviewed, so the accepted-ADRs roll-up at the top of `CLAUDE.md` stays at 0001 → 0023. Promotion to `accepted` lands in the same PR that ships the first implementation chantier (proto vendor + `AiClientModule`), at which point `CLAUDE.md` gets the "0024 accepted" line. ## Notes for the reviewer - **Why bundle four sub-choices in one ADR rather than four.** They couple tightly: the SPA-facing transport choice depends on the BFF-facing transport choice (gRPC-Web from the browser would dissolve the bridge layer entirely); the auth posture depends on having identity travel in the proto body (vendoring a different contract would change that); the proto-distribution choice depends on the contract being stable enough to vendor (a churning OpenAPI spec would push toward an SDK package). Splitting would force cross-ADR coordination on every revision. The ADR keeps a separate "Sub-choice" section per topic so each one stays reviewable on its own. - **Out of scope deliberately.** The chatbot UI lives in a future frontend chantier; the role mapper (Entra groups → inclusive-expanded `roles[]`) is a separate proposed ADR; the ingestion-through-BFF path waits for the admin app's "manage AI corpus" surface; tool dispatch is wired but exercised against an empty registry in v1. - **Hash-salt coordination is the one operational gotcha.** The same `HashUserIdService` salt has to land in both repos' deployment config so `apf-ai-service.audit_log.actor_id_hash` and `apf_portal.audit.events.actor_id_hash` produce identical values. Recorded as an open item in the ADR's "More Information" section; the deployment doc that distributes the secret is a v1-launch deliverable. - **`apf-ai-service` cross-reference**. The ADR references `apf-ai-service/docs/adr/ADR-0010` (POC unsigned principal) and `apf-ai-service/docs/adr/ADR-0011` (mono-transport gRPC) as upstream anchors. Both are already accepted on the AI side. The "production hardening" decision will be a coordinated amendment in both repos on the same date. - **No `DownstreamApiClient` (ADR-0014) reuse.** The OBO pattern in ADR-0014 targets *Entra-protected* downstreams that validate the user's access token. `apf-ai-service` is not Entra-protected — it accepts an unsigned Principal proto. The ADR explicitly calls this out so the reader does not expect symmetry with the Entra-protected downstream path. - **Phasing recorded in the ADR's "More Information" section.** This PR is step (1) "ADR accepted". Steps 2–5 are separate PRs in order: client skeleton → bridge controller → frontend chatbot → proto-drift CI gate. ## Test plan - [x] `pnpm run --silent prettier --check docs/decisions/0024-ai-service-relay-grpc-sse-bridge.md` — passes (hook ran on commit). - [x] Markdown links inside the ADR resolve to existing files (`0005`, `0009`, `0010`, `0012`, `0013`, `0014`, `0017`, plus `CLAUDE.md`). - [x] Index row in `docs/decisions/README.md` follows the table's existing format (column count, tag vocabulary, date format). - [x] No tag-vocabulary additions required — `backend`, `security`, `observability` are all in the existing vocab. - [ ] **Review focus** — the four sub-choices and the production-hardening deferral. Code chantier is gated on this PR's acceptance. ## What's next (once accepted) 1. **PR — proto vendor + codegen + `AiClientModule` skeleton** — vendors the protos, wires `ts-proto` codegen, sets up the NestJS module with the metadata interceptor and the Principal mapper, all tested against an in-process fake gRPC server. No live endpoint yet. 2. **PR — `ai-bridge` controller** — `POST /api/ai/chat` (SSE), `GET /api/ai/rag/search`, `GET /api/ai/models`, live against `apf-ai-service` in the dev Compose stack. 3. **PR (frontend chantier)** — the chatbot widget on `portal-shell` consuming the SSE endpoint. 4. **PR (post-v1)** — proto-drift CI gate that diffs the vendored copy against the upstream tag. 5. **Coordinated amendment** — when the first production deployment is in scope, both repos record the same prod-hardening choice (signed envelope or mTLS) on the same date. --------- Co-authored-by: Julien Gautier <julien.gautier@apf.asso.fr> Reviewed-on: #194	2026-05-19 20:11:15 +02:00
