Food Ingest

food-ingest

Turn a short-form venue post into a structured entry in the right trip-PWA corpus, or hold it in feed_candidates.json until its placement is confirmed.

Despite the name, food-ingest handles all five venue corpora (food / desserts / attractions / fandom / nearby). The hard part is placement, not classification: a caption tells you "this is a cake cafe" but not "this goes on Day 3's 14:00 anchor". So food-ingest routes by keyword and auto-routes a confident item straight to its corpus file — food.json, desserts.json, attractions.json, fandom.json, or nearby.json (v0.5.1). Only ambiguous items (tie / low confidence / no keyword) land in feed_candidates.json for a one-command placement-promote (the deferred-placement pattern). --day carries a known day; --to <corpus> is the destination-neutral explicit override; legacy --force-food still forces food.json.

Steps

1. Get the caption. If the user gave a URL, fetch the caption/description first (use /browse for the page text, or yt-dlp --get-description for the video description; for audio-only Reels, yt-dlp + whisper-cli to transcribe). If the user pasted a caption, use it directly. The caption is what the router classifies — without it, routing is blind.

2. Run the engine with the caption + any known fields:

   bun skills/food-ingest/food-ingest.ts --out <trip-dir> \
     --caption "<fetched caption>" --name-zh "<venue name in zh>" \
     [--url <source>] [--day day_2] [--anchor shibuya] \
     [--to food|desserts|attractions|fandom|nearby] \
     [--category ramen] [--why "<1-line note>"] [--kid-friendly true] \
     [--name-jp "<destination-local name>"] \
     [--address "<street address>"] [--hours "11:00-21:00"] [--price "₩₩"] \
     [--maps-query "<name + area for a Maps search>"]
   

   The last four are optional but make the entry useful on the ground: the food view renders address/hours/price as text (the offline fallback) and a 📍 地圖 link built from --maps-query (preferred) or --address. Pull these from the post/caption when present — a name + Reel link alone isn't navigable.

3. Report the outcome. The engine prints which corpus each item auto-routed to (<corpus>.json) or that it landed in 待分類 (with the exact placement-promote ... --to <corpus> next-step command), and why. Relay that.

Routing decision (shared _lib/router.ts)

• route(caption) returns { corpus, confidence, reasons, tied_with? }, where corpus is null when no keyword matched (needs human review).
• → <corpus>.json (auto-route, v0.5.1) when corpus is non-null AND confidence >= MIN_CONFIDENCE (0.4) AND no tied_with — the item is written straight to its corpus file (food / desserts / attractions / fandom / nearby). --to <corpus> wins over the router and is the preferred correction for geography-specific ambiguity; --force-food remains a food-only alias. Entry shape comes from _lib/venue-entry (food keeps the full shape; non-food corpora get the generic subset — no food-only fields), shared with placement-promote so direct-ingest and promote produce identical entries.
• → feed_candidates.json otherwise (tie / low confidence / null), tagged with candidate_for, confidence, tied_with, reasons, and a day_hint if --day was given. The venue view shows these inline tagged 待分類; promote a confirmed one with the placement-promote skill (--id <id> --to food). Do not re-run the same source URL + venue name with --to: normal ingest dedup treats that pair as an existing item and skips it. Candidates retain every supplied author field while placement is unresolved. Promotion to food preserves the full set; promotion to a non-food corpus preserves every field in that corpus's generic target schema and deliberately omits food-only fields.
• --day no longer forces a non-food caption into food.json. It only binds a day: a confident non-food item still routes directly to its corpus with that day in day_keys; an ambiguous item becomes a candidate carrying day_hint. Use --to <corpus> to correct placement explicitly, or legacy --force-food (with --category) for a genuine food spot the router misclassified.

Batch ingest (--batch)

For multiple posts, pass a JSON array file — the engine reads all five venue corpora plus feed_candidates.json ONCE, validates and deduplicates against the whole set, writes each changed file ONCE, and regenerates the service worker ONCE (batch-aware, design doc D5; avoids 12× rewrite/rehash):

bun skills/food-ingest/food-ingest.ts --out <trip-dir> --batch items.json
# items.json = [{
#   "caption": "...", "name_zh": "...", "name_jp_or_local": "...",
#   "url": "...", "day": "day_2", "to": "food", "anchor": "...",
#   "category": "...", "why_picked": "...", "kid_friendly": true,
#   "backup_fit": "...", "address": "...", "hours": "...", "price": "...",
#   "maps_query": "..."
# }, ...]

The underscored keys above are preferred in batch JSON; legacy dashed forms (kid-friendly, name-jp, backup-fit, maps-query) also work. A duplicate is only the same source_url and venue name (multi-venue posts share URLs); duplicate ids get a -2/-3 suffix. URL-less items use a durable ID derived from the full normalized authoring input, including the caption and requested destination. Re-running the exact same URL-less input after JSON committed but SW regeneration failed finds the same semantic row, skips a duplicate, and repairs the manifest. A different caption remains a distinct item even when its persisted venue fields happen to match; the same derived ID with different data fails closed and points corrections to placement-promote. A malformed venue corpus or feed_candidates.json is never overwritten — the engine validates every input file it reads and tells you to fix or remove it.

Placement model (design doc D8 — resolved in v0.2)

The five venue corpora can carry schedule placement (day / anchor / time), but a caption cannot reliably infer that context. food-ingest accepts this: a high-confidence single-venue post lands directly in food.json, desserts.json, attractions.json, fandom.json, or nearby.json; anything ambiguous waits in feed_candidates.json. The A2 dogfood confirmed placement was the dominant friction, so v0.2 shipped the fallback: the venue view renders candidates inline (tagged 待分類), and placement-promote moves a confirmed item into the chosen corpus — no data is invisible while it waits.

Multi-venue posts

One post can list many venues (e.g. "東京拉麵 5 選"). Call the engine once per venue you want to ingest, each with its own --name-zh (+ --caption scoped to that venue's line if you can). Uniqueness is per-entry, so re-running for each venue is the intended pattern.
