Enhance SEC pipeline security and add reconsolidation support

[jfrench9]

Summary

This PR improves the security posture of the SEC data processing pipeline by migrating hardcoded credentials to environment variables, while adding critical functionality for data reconsolidation workflows.

Key Changes

Security Enhancements

• Environment Variable Migration: Refactored database and Redis connection configurations to use environment variables instead of hardcoded credentials
• Credential Management: Eliminated sensitive information from configuration files, improving security compliance

Pipeline Functionality

• Multi-Year Data Loading: Enhanced SECLocalPipeline to support loading and processing data across multiple years in a single operation
• Reconsolidation Support: Added new functionality to clear existing consolidated files, enabling clean reconsolidation of historical data
• Improved Flexibility: Pipeline now supports more granular control over data processing workflows

Infrastructure Considerations

• Environment Setup Required: Deployment environments will need appropriate environment variables configured for database and Redis connections
• Backward Compatibility: Existing workflows may need environment variable setup before deployment
• Configuration Management: Consider using secure credential management systems for production deployments

Testing Notes

• Verify environment variable configuration in all deployment environments
• Test multi-year data loading functionality with various year ranges
• Validate reconsolidation workflow clears existing data appropriately
• Confirm database and Redis connections work with new environment-based configuration

Breaking Changes

• Direct credential configuration is no longer supported; environment variables are now required
• Previous hardcoded connection strings will need to be migrated to environment variable format

PR Review Complete ✅

I've reviewed the changes in this PR. Overall, the changes improve security and add useful functionality, but there are some important concerns to address.

---

✅ Positive Changes

1. Environment Variable Migration (justfile): Good security improvement moving credentials from hardcoded values to environment variables

   • PG_PWD and VALKEY_PWD now configurable via environment
   • Maintains backwards compatibility with sensible defaults
   • Variable rename from _dev_override to _dev is cleaner

2. Multi-Year Loading Support (sec_local.py:160-173): Excellent enhancement

   • Flexible year range processing (single year or all years)
   • Intelligent timeout scaling based on number of years
   • Better default behavior (2019 onwards instead of hardcoded previous year)

3. Timeout Improvements (sec_local.py:214-220): Smart adaptive timeouts

   • Dynamic timeout calculation: base_timeout + (num_years * per_year_timeout)
   • Prevents premature failures on multi-year loads

⚠️ Critical Issues

1. Security Concern: Hardcoded Credentials Still Present (justfile:176-184)

The PR description claims to eliminate hardcoded credentials, but hardcoded credentials are still present as default values:

"DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:"+env_var_or_default("PG_PWD", "postgres")+"@localhost:5432/robosystems "

Issue: Default password "postgres" and "valkey" are still hardcoded in the justfile. While these are only used when environment variables aren't set, they:

• Create a false sense of security
• Could lead to production deployments with default credentials
• Don't fully address the security concerns mentioned in the PR description

Recommendation: Consider one of these approaches:

• Remove defaults entirely and require explicit environment variables
• Document clearly that these defaults are development-only and must be overridden in production
• Add validation checks that fail if defaults are used in non-development environments

2. Inconsistency with Project Guidelines (CLAUDE.md:322-330)

The CLAUDE.md explicitly states:

# ALWAYS use centralized config
from robosystems.config import env

# NEVER use os.getenv() directly
database_url = env.DATABASE_URL  # ✓ Correct
database_url = os.getenv("DATABASE_URL")  # ✗ Wrong

Issue: The justfile changes bypass the centralized robosystems.config.env module in favor of just-level environment variable overrides. This creates two different configuration patterns:

1. Application code uses robosystems.config.env
2. Justfile uses direct environment variable injection

Recommendation:

• Ensure robosystems/config/env.py properly reads PG_PWD and VALKEY_PWD environment variables
• Consider documenting why the justfile needs separate credential handling
• Verify that both paths are consistent in development vs production

3. force_reconsolidate Always True in Justfile (justfile:275)

sec-load ticker year="" env=".env":
    {{_dev}} UV_ENV_FILE={{env}} uv run python -m robosystems.scripts.sec_local load --ticker {{ticker}} {{ if year != "" { "--year " + year } else { "" } }} --force-reconsolidate

Issue: The --force-reconsolidate flag is hardcoded as always true in the just sec-load command. This means:

• Every load will clear existing consolidated files
• Every load will reset the SEC database
• No way to do incremental/additive loads via the justfile command

Recommendation: Make this configurable:

sec-load ticker year="" reconsolidate="false" env=".env":
    {{_dev}} UV_ENV_FILE={{env}} uv run python -m robosystems.scripts.sec_local load --ticker {{ticker}} {{ if year != "" { "--year " + year } else { "" } }} {{ if reconsolidate == "true" { "--force-reconsolidate" } else { "" } }}

🔍 Code Quality Issues

4. Repeated Code Pattern (sec_local.py:252-263)

The database reset logic during reconsolidation is embedded in load_company():

if force_reconsolidate:
    logger.info("🧹 Clearing existing consolidated files to force reconsolidation...")
    self._clear_consolidated_files()
    
    logger.info("🔄 Resetting SEC database to avoid duplicates...")
    if not self.reset_database(clear_s3=False):
        logger.error("Failed to reset database, continuing anyway...")

Issue: Error handling silently continues if database reset fails ("continuing anyway..."). This could lead to:

• Data duplication issues
• Inconsistent state between S3 and database
• Hard-to-debug problems in production

Recommendation:

• Consider making database reset failure more serious (return False or raise)
• Or document why it's acceptable to continue with a failed reset

5. Type Hints Missing (sec_local.py:2)

# type: ignore

Issue: The entire file disables type checking, which contradicts the project's quality standards:

• CLAUDE.md line 293: "Type hints with basedpyright"

Recommendation: Remove # type: ignore and add proper type hints to this module for better code quality.

📝 Documentation & Testing

6. Missing Environment Variable Documentation

Issue: The PR introduces new required environment variables (PG_PWD, VALKEY_PWD) but:

• No updates to .env.example visible in this PR
• No mention of these variables in the "Infrastructure Considerations" section
• Unclear if these are required or optional

Recommendation:

• Update .env.example to include these new variables
• Document in the PR description which environments need these set
• Add to the "Breaking Changes" section if they're required

7. No Tests for New Functionality

Issue: Multi-year loading and force reconsolidation are significant new features, but no tests are included in this PR.

Recommendation: Add tests for:

• Multi-year range loading
• Single year loading (regression test)
• Force reconsolidation flag behavior
• Timeout calculations for different year ranges

---

🎯 Summary & Recommendations

APPROVE with modifications recommended:

This PR makes valuable improvements but needs refinement before merging to production:

Must Address:

1. ⚠️ Clarify security model for default credentials (production vs development)
2. ⚠️ Make force-reconsolidate configurable in justfile (not always enabled)
3. ⚠️ Document new environment variables in .env.example

Should Address:
4. Review consistency with centralized config pattern (robosystems.config.env)
5. Improve error handling when database reset fails during reconsolidation
6. Add type hints (remove # type: ignore)

Nice to Have:
7. Add tests for multi-year loading functionality
8. Add validation that defaults aren't used in production

URL-encode injected passwords in dev connection strings

The new helper constructs DATABASE_URL, TEST_DATABASE_URL, and Redis URLs by splicing PG_PWD and VALKEY_PWD directly into the URI. Any password that contains reserved characters such as @, :, /, or # (which is common for randomly generated secrets) will produce an invalid URL and prevent the uv run commands from connecting, even though the credentials are correct. The previous hardcoded passwords did not hit this edge case. To make the environment-variable migration safe, the passwords need to be percent-encoded or otherwise quoted before interpolation.
