Software Architecture Specification — VKIST MSK Platform
Scope: Sprint 1-2 (FR-25 Synovitis Grading + Multi-Modal NLP Integration)
Parent: SOLUTION_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md, SPRINT_1_2_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md
Workflow: Understand → Model (C4) → Specify → Decompose → Plan
1. Problem Statement
Build a reproducible, air-gapped-first musculoskeletal ultrasound analysis platform that performs automated synovitis grading (FR-25) with Vietnamese-language NLP explanations, auditable RAG citations, and HITL finalization — deployable on a single-hospital K3s cluster under ≤10 Mbps LAN constraints, with ≤150 MB idle app bundle and ≤1.5 s inference latency.
2. Requirements
Functional (Sprint 1-2)
- FR-25: Load knee DICOM → segment joint structures → measure synovium thickness → grade synovitis 0-3
- Grad-CAM overlay on primary viewport (zero extra clicks)
- Circuit-breaker Socratic dialogue (radiologist challenges AI grade before finalizing)
- BERT drift monitor against baseline MOH corpus
- RAG-Referee validates every LLM-generated explanation against top-k retrieved MOH guideline chunks
- Decree 13 PII scrubbing on all outbound text (client-side + FastAPI middleware)
- ladybugDB ontology traversal for anatomical entity disambiguation
- GemmaE2B/MedGemma Vietnamese LLM consult (browser WebLLM local OR cloud Vertex AI) with MOH guideline citations
- Circular 46/2018 PDF report generation
- Immutable audit log append (NFR-17) and HITL digital signature gate (NFR-19)
Non-Functional (Critical)
- NFR-4: 150 MB idle app bundle
- NFR-5: ≤1.5 s inference (on-prem Triton)
- NFR-7: ≤200 ms TTFT token streaming
- NFR-8: Fault-tolerant across Wi-Fi drops (state preserved)
- NFR-14: No client-side GPU/neural accelerator required
- NFR-15: Circular 46 EMR compliance
- NFR-16: Air-gapped primary; NFR-16a PoC fallback with redaction/consent/audit
- NFR-17: Immutable audit log
- NFR-18: 100% LLM text cites MOH protocol via RAG
- NFR-19: HITL digital signature before FINALIZED/ARCHIVED
3. Constraints & System Context
- On-prem: K3s on Dell PowerEdge (single hospital, ≤10 Mbps LAN)
- Model: GemmaE2B-Q4 (~1.3 GB) distributed via intranet CDN → GCP CDN fallback → WASM local (WebLLM) or cloud MedGemma on Vertex AI (NFR-16a) → MOH templates
- Data: Postgres + pgvector, Redis (5 constrained data types), MinIO, IndexedDB client prefs
- Auth: Keycloak + RBAC inside K3s; GitLab/Jira on cloud VM (NFR-16a exception)
- CI/CD: Jenkins inside K3s → cloud GitLab via SSH
- Failover: NGINX + Keepalived VIP (≤2s switch)

5. Component Specifications
5.1 React PWA
| Concern | Decision |
|---|---|
| Framework | React 18 + TypeScript + Zustand |
| Styling | Tailwind CSS (mobile-first) |
| DICOM viewer | Cornerstone.js + custom canvas layer |
| Grad-CAM | <canvas> overlay; base64 PNG from FastAPI |
| Local model | LiteRT (MediaPipe Tasks Vision) — angle pre-classifier |
| Client storage | Dexie.js over IndexedDB (encrypted sessions, prefs) |
| Offline | Service Worker: cache-first for shell; network-first for API |
| Bundle | Tree-shake Cornerstone extras; split vendor chunk |
| PHI safety | Decree 13 regex scrubber before any network write |
| Edge guardrail | guardrail.worker.ts (WebWorker): Transformers.js BERT for hallucination/mal-intention detection; prompt injection scoring; scope-breach detection. OpenRedaction + pii-filter + js-data-anonymizer run in main thread or dedicated worker for redaction pipeline. Separate from cv.worker.ts (LiteRT) and llm.worker.ts (WebLLM) with no shared WASM memory. |

5.3 Knowledge Service (rag-svc)
Separated from inference to allow independent scaling of RAG queries:
- Endpoints:
POST /rag/query,POST /rag/referee-check,GET /rag/guideline/{version} - Reads pgvector only; no Triton dependency
- Publishes guideline update events to Redis Pub/Sub for cache invalidation
5.4 Data Models (Postgres)
Key tables (migration via Alembic):
guidelines (id, version, title, source_url, embedding vector(768), active_from, retired_at)
sessions (session_hash, radiologist_id, case_id, consult_mode, created_at, closed_at)
cases (case_id, patient_hash, joint_site, dicom_checksum, final_grade, finalized_at, signer_id)
embeddings (id, session_hash, chunk_text, embedding vector(768), source, created_at)
audit_events (id, event_hash, session_hash, actor, action, tier, consent_token, redaction_manifest, payload_hash, ts)
emr_outbox (id, case_id, payload, status, attempts, next_retry_at)
user_prefs (user_id, jsonb, updated_at) # synced from IndexedDB
Unique constraint: cases.case_id final grade requires signer_id != NULL (NFR-19).
5.5 Redis Keys (Exact Schema)
| Key pattern | Type | TTL | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
session:{hash} |
String + Hash | 3600s | JWT session validation |
guideline:{ver}:{chunk_id} |
String | 604800s (7d) | MOH guideline chunk |
dicom:{session_hash} |
String | 43200s (12h) | Per-session DICOM headers |
consult_mode:{session_hash} |
String | 7200s | Tier state (tier_1..tier_3b) |
rate:{actor_id}:{window} |
String | 30s sliding | Rate-limit counter |
Key-space invalidation: guideline:{ver}:* deleted on version bump via Postgres NOTIFY listener.
5.6 Triton gRPC Contract
service InferencePipeline {
rpc Run3Step (DICOMBytes) returns (PipelineResult);
rpc ExtractEmbedding (TextChunk) returns (EmbeddingVector);
}
message DICOMBytes {
bytes raw_dicom = 1;
string session_hash = 2;
uint32 max_vram_mb = 3;
}
message PipelineResult {
AngleClass angle = 1;
InflammationFlag inflammation = 2;
SegmentationMask mask = 3;
SynoviumMeasurement measurement = 4;
Grade grade = 5;
bytes gradcam_png = 6;
}
Idempotency invariant: identical raw_dicom + session_hash → identical output bytes. No partial state between steps.
5.7 Frontend Guardrail Runtime
WebWorker Topology
| Worker | Runtime | Role | Memory Cap |
|---|---|---|---|
cv.worker.ts |
LiteRT (WASM) | CV inference: angle pre-classifier, image preprocessing | Isolated WASM instance |
llm.worker.ts |
WebLLM (WASM) | GemmaE2B local generation, Gemma Functions tool-calling | Isolated WASM instance (NFR-4 1.5GB heap) |
guardrail.worker.ts |
Transformers.js (WASM/WebGPU) | BERT classification: hallucination, prompt-injection, scope-breach scoring | Shared Web Worker thread (no WASM memory pool) |
Isolation rules:
- No
SharedArrayBufferorAtomicsbetween workers — no raw WASM memory sharing. - Communication via
postMessagewith structured clone (no transferable object reuse for audit integrity). - Unload priority on memory pressure (browser
memorywarningevent):llm.worker.tsfirst, thenguardrail.worker.ts, thencv.worker.ts. - IndexedDB is the only persistence layer shared across workers; written by main thread or dedicated serializer, never read inside LLM context window.
Edge Guardrail Decision Contract
User Input → OpenRedaction + pii-filter → js-data-anonymizer → BERT Guardrail
↓
PASS: forward to RAG → LLM
FAIL: terminate LLM session → cloud mitigate
Server-side FastAPI contracts:
POST /api/guardrail-check(internal): accepts BERT score + query hash; returnsPASS|MITIGATE.POST /api/redaction-ground-check: accepts client manifest hash + sanitized payload; returnsPASS|CLEANED|ERROR.CLEANED= server refined residual PII and continues.ERROR= server unable to clean → client receives structured error.POST /api/consult/stream: now includesX-Guardrail-VersionandX-Redaction-Manifest-Hashheaders for audit.
IndexedDB Schema Additions

7. Build vs Buy Matrix (Sprint 1-2 Specific)
| Component | Build | Buy | Decision | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frontend PWA | Build | — | Build | Custom DICOM viewer + Grad-CAM layer; thin client requirement |
| FastAPI backend | Build | — | Build | Tight Decree 13 + NFR-16a middleware; in-house domain logic |
| Triton inference | — | Deploy self-hosted | Deploy | Open-source stack; no SaaS |
| Ontology (ladybugDB) | Build | — | Build | Embedded C++; SNOMED-CT mapping custom to MSK |
| pgvector | — | Postgres extension | Use | Zero infra overhead |
| Redis | — | OSS | Use | Scoped to 5 types; self-hosted |
| MinIO | — | OSS | Use | S3-compatible; self-hosted |
| Auth | Build (Keycloak) | Auth0/Okta SaaS | Build | NFR-16: Keycloak on-prem, no SaaS identity |
| EMR integration | Build | Mirth Connect | Build | Thin HL7 wrapper FastAPI → EMR; keeps surface area small |
| CI/CD | Jenkins in K3s | SaaS GitHub Actions | Build | Jenkins inside LAN; cloud GitLab via SSH |
| Issue tracking | Self-hosted Jira | Atlassian Cloud | Build (NFR-16a) | Cloud VM, compensating controls |

T4-C Circular 46 PDF report generator (M)
WeasyPrint template; includes grade, Grad-CAM image, MOH citations, signer block, audit hash.
Phase 5: Observability & Hardening
-
T5-A Prometheus + Grafana dashboards (M)
Triton VRAM/utilization; inference latency p50/p99; Redis hit rate; circuit-breaker state; K3s node health. -
T5-A BERT drift monitor (M)
Weekly batch job comparing current session embeddings vs. baseline; alert admin via Grafana if KL divergence > threshold. -
T5-C Fallback chain integration test (S)
Simulate Triton down → verify Tier 3a consent flow + redaction; simulate CDN down → verify GCP CDN signed URL fallback.
9. Execution Plan
Week 1-2: Phase 1
Deliverables: K3s cluster up, DB VM ready, CI/CD pipeline green, PWA shell live.
Week 3-4: Phase 2
Deliverables: /api/analyze end-to-end; Grad-CAM overlay visible in PWA; circuit-breaker handles Triton failure.
Week 5-6: Phase 3
Deliverables: RAG queries return MOH citations; GemmaE2B/MedGemma streams Vietnamese explanations; RAG-Referee blocks unmapped LLM text.
Week 7: Phase 4
Deliverables: Audit log immutable; HITL signature enforces finalization; Circular 46 PDF exports.
Week 8: Phase 5 + Sprint Review
Deliverables: Dashboards, drift monitor, integration tests, demo-ready PWA.
