Description

Summary

Remove all Memgraph (graph database) code and infrastructure from the codebase. The project no longer uses Memgraph and keeping it adds unnecessary complexity and maintenance burden.

Removal Plan

Phase 1: Tests First

  • Add/adjust tests to reflect a Postgres-only system: no Memgraph client initialization, no Memgraph fixtures
  • Update tests/test_database.py - remove Memgraph connection tests
  • Update tests/test_bill_ingestion.py - remove Memgraph integration
  • Update tests/test_bill_ingestor_unit.py - mock only what's needed
  • Update tests/test_advanced_search.py - remove Memgraph mocks/usage
  • Update tests/conftest.py - remove Memgraph from integration marker

Phase 2: Core Library Code

  • Delete lib/db/memgraph_client.py
  • Refactor api/search_api.py - remove Memgraph import, globals, startup, _get_memgraph()
  • Refactor lib/advanced_search_features.py - Postgres-only, remove Memgraph-backed methods
  • Refactor lib/processors/bill_ingestor.py - remove graph writes, Memgraph constructor
  • Update lib/chat_agent.py - fix any call sites for changed signatures
  • Delete lib/knowledge_graph/ingestor.py (Memgraph-only)
  • Update lib/knowledge_graph/__init__.py
  • Remove Memgraph config from lib/utils/config.py

Phase 3: Scripts

  • Delete scripts/kg_sync_memgraph.py
  • Remove Memgraph from scripts/ingest_knowledge_graph.py
  • Remove Memgraph from scripts/migrate_transcripts.py
  • Remove Memgraph from scripts/ingest_bills.py

Phase 4: Infrastructure & Config

  • Remove pymgclient from requirements.txt
  • Remove Memgraph env vars from .env.example
  • Remove Memgraph service/volume from docker-compose.yml
  • Remove Memgraph branches from db.sh

Phase 5: Documentation

  • Remove Memgraph references from docs/KG_PLAN.md
  • Remove Memgraph references from docs/CODE_MAP_AND_REVIEW.md
  • Update frontend/README.md if endpoint behavior changes

Phase 6: Verification

  • rg -ni \"memgraph|pymgclient|MEMGRAPH_\" returns no project references
  • ruff check . passes
  • mypy lib/ passes
  • pytest tests/ -v passes
  • docker-compose up -d starts only Postgres
  • API startup has no Memgraph warnings
