Executive Summary

This document illustrates the key state transitions and behavioral models within the Riksdagsmonitor platform. These diagrams provide a comprehensive view of how system components change states in response to user interactions, data updates, workflow executions, and automated processes. All state models align with Hack23 AB's AI Policy and Secure Development Policy.

3.1 State Definitions

State	Description	Entry Conditions	Exit Conditions	Typical Duration
EMPTY	No cached data, initial load	First visit, cache cleared	Fetch starts	Instant
FETCHING	Requesting data from GitHub CDN	Empty state, refresh needed	Data received or error	200-1000ms

Production Stats	24 hours	Updated monthly, low volatility	Use stale cache indefinitely
Seasonal Patterns	7 days	Updated quarterly, stable data	Use stale cache indefinitely
Politician Data	24 hours	Updated weekly, moderate volatility	Use stale cache up to 7 days
Party Performance	7 days	Updated monthly, low volatility	Use stale cache indefinitely
Election Forecasts	24 hours	Updated daily, high volatility	Require fresh data, retry

3.3 State Transition Matrix

From State	Event	To State	Conditions	Actions
EMPTY	page_load	FETCHING	No cache exists	Fetch from CDN
FETCHING	fetch_success	CACHED	HTTP 200, valid JSON	Store in LocalStorage
FETCHING	fetch_failed	ERROR	Network error, timeout	Log error, retry
CACHED	freshness_check	STALE	Age > threshold	Serve stale, trigger refresh

3.4 Cache Strategy

LocalStorage Schema:

{
  "riksdagsmonitor_cache": {
    "production_stats": {
      "data": {...},
      "timestamp": "2026-02-15T15:30:00Z",
      "version": "1.0"
    },
    "seasonal_patterns": {
      "data": {...},
      "timestamp": "2026-02-10T10:00:00Z",
      "version": "1.0"
    },
    "politician_data": {
      "data": {...},
      "timestamp": "2026-02-15T14:00:00Z",
      "version": "1.0"
    }
  }
}

Freshness Check Algorithm:

function isFresh(cachedItem, thresholdHours) {
  const now = new Date();
  const cached = new Date(cachedItem.timestamp);
  const ageHours = (now - cached) / (1000 * 60 * 60);
  return ageHours < thresholdHours;
}

6.2 Translation Validation Script

Tool: scripts/validate-news-translations.js

Purpose: Detects remaining data-translate="true" markers in non-Swedish articles

Exit Codes:

0 - Success: All articles fully translated
1 - Failure: Untranslated markers found

Usage:

# Validate all news articles
npm run validate-news

# Check specific directory
node scripts/validate-news-translations.js news/

Sample Output (Failure):

📋 NEWS TRANSLATION VALIDATION

✓ Fully translated: 142
✗ Needs translation: 3

Untranslated Articles:
  ✗ 2026-02-15-committee-reports-de.html - 10 markers
    Samples:
      1. "Bättre förutsättningar att sända ut statlig personal"
      2. "Ett register för alla bostadsrätter"
  
Action Required:
1. Open each file listed above
2. Find all <span data-translate="true" lang="sv">Swedish text</span> elements
3. Translate the Swedish text to the article's target language
4. Replace the span with plain translated text

8. 🔒 Security and Compliance

8.1 AI Policy Compliance (Hack23 AI Policy)

Limited Risk AI System Classification:

✅ Human oversight required (PR_REVIEW state)
✅ AI-specific states documented (HALLUCINATION_DETECTED, TRANSLATION_ERROR)
✅ Audit logs maintained (LOGGED state, workflow history)
✅ Error detection and recovery (automatic retries, rollback procedures)
✅ Transparency (state transitions visible in PRs and logs)

AI Risk Controls:

Risk	State Where Risk Occurs	Mitigation	Monitoring
Hallucination	GENERATING	Fact-checking, human review	HALLUCINATION_DETECTED state
Prompt Injection	GENERATING	Input validation, sandboxing	Real-time detection
Context Loss	TRANSLATION	Context preservation, retry	TRANSLATION_FAILED state
Bias Amplification	GENERATING, TRANSLATING	Diverse training data, review	Manual review in PR_REVIEW
Data Poisoning	GENERATING	Trusted data sources only	Source validation

8.2 State Invariants for Security

Security-Critical Invariants:

VULNERABLE → DEPLOY_PRODUCTION: ❌ BLOCKED - Cannot deploy with critical vulnerabilities
VALIDATION_FAILED → PUBLISHED: ❌ BLOCKED - Cannot publish untranslated content
CI_FAILED → MERGED: ❌ BLOCKED - Cannot merge with failing checks
HALLUCINATION_DETECTED → PUBLISHED: ❌ BLOCKED - Cannot publish AI errors without review
ERROR → DEPLOYED: ❌ BLOCKED - Cannot deploy failed builds

8.3 Audit Trail Requirements

All state transitions MUST be logged with:

✅ Timestamp (ISO 8601 format)
✅ From State
✅ To State
✅ Triggering Event
✅ Actor (user, system, AI agent)
✅ Conditions Met (or failed)
✅ Actions Taken
✅ Outcome (success/failure)

Retention Policy: 90 days for operational logs, 7 years for compliance logs

🌐 IMF Cache & Vintage State Machine (Current State)

Status: ✅ Implemented and in production. The IMF cache lives in analysis/imf/ (canonical hub) and analysis/daily/*/economic-data.json (per-article vintage cache). Every cache row is vintage-tagged and SHA-256 pinned. Authority: .github/aw/ECONOMIC_DATA_CONTRACT.md v2.1.

IMF cache row lifecycle

    [*] --> Empty: cache key absent
    Empty --> Fetching: news-* worker requests dataflow/indicator/country
    Fetching --> Fresh: payload <=6 months old · SHA-256 pinned
    Fetching --> Stale: payload >6 months old
    Fetching --> RateLimited: HTTP 429
    Fetching --> Failed: HTTP 5xx / timeout
    Fresh --> Used: article cites with full confidence
    Stale --> Annotated: staleness_annotated=true required
    Annotated --> Used: article cites with downgraded confidence
    RateLimited --> Backoff: exponential 2^n seconds
    Backoff --> Fetching: retry
    Failed --> CacheFallback: serve last cached vintage

WEO vintage transition (April → October cycle, current behaviour)

stateDiagram-v2
    [*] --> WEO_2026_04: April WEO published; cached
    WEO_2026_04 --> WEO_2026_10: October WEO published (supersedes pointer set)
    WEO_2026_04 --> Archived: superseded; preserved for audit-trail
    WEO_2026_10 --> WEO_2027_04: April 2027 WEO publishes
    WEO_2026_10 --> Archived
    Archived --> [*]: never deleted (provenance integrity)

Current production guarantees:

Vintage label format YYYY-MM enforced by tests/imf-inventory.test.ts
supersedes pointer never overwrites prior vintage row (immutable supersedes-chain)
Stale vintages (>6 months) trigger automatic article-level annotation per scripts/article-quality-enhancer.ts
Cache-fallback path tested by tests/economic-context-multi-provider.test.ts
