## 3. Integration Points
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.1 AI Chat Flow
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Check rate limit FIRST → Reject if exceeded
|
||||
2. Sanitize input (prompt injection detection)
|
||||
3. Comprehensive safety check → Emergency/crisis override if triggered
|
||||
4. Build context with enhanced safety prompt
|
||||
5. Generate AI response
|
||||
6. Output safety check → Add disclaimer if unsafe patterns
|
||||
7. Response moderation
|
||||
8. Inject trigger-specific safety responses
|
||||
9. Track query for suspicious patterns
|
||||
10. Increment rate limit counter
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.2 Safety Metrics Logging
|
||||
All safety triggers are logged with:
|
||||
- userId
|
||||
- trigger type (emergency, crisis, medical, etc.)
|
||||
- keywords matched
|
||||
- query (first 100 chars)
|
||||
- timestamp
|
||||
|
||||
**TODO:** Store in database for analytics dashboard (marked in code)
|
||||

## 8. Key Technical Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Immediate Override for Emergencies/Crises**
|
||||
- No AI response generated for emergency/crisis queries
|
||||
- Returns safety resources immediately
|
||||
- Prevents any chance of harmful AI advice in critical situations
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Soft Disclaimer for Medical Queries**
|
||||
- AI response still generated but with prominent disclaimer
|
||||
- Provides helpful information while maintaining safety boundaries
|
||||
- Includes "when to seek care" guidance
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Compassionate Crisis Handling**
|
||||
- High repeated crisis keywords flagged but not restricted
|
||||
- User may genuinely need repeated support
|
||||
- Logged for potential outreach/support
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Redis-backed Rate Limiting**
|
||||
- Fast, distributed rate limiting
|
||||
- Automatic expiration (daily counters reset at midnight)
|
||||
- Scalable across multiple backend instances
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Comprehensive Testing First**
|
||||
- 31 test cases before production deployment
|
||||
- All safety scenarios covered
|
||||
- 100% test pass rate required
