Target Architecture

├── event_database.py          # Thin coordinator (150 lines)
└── backend/epgoat/services/
    ├── event_matcher.py       # Matching logic (300 lines)
    └── event_refresher.py     # Refresh logic (250 lines)

Module 1: event_matcher.py (~300 lines)

Purpose: Encapsulate all event matching and team normalization logic.

Responsibilities: - Event matching with fuzzy logic - Team name normalization - League name normalization - Multi-day search window logic - Confidence scoring - Bidirectional team order matching

Key Methods:

class EventMatcher:
    def __init__(self, event_repo):
        """Initialize with event repository for database queries."""

    def match_event(
        self,
        team1: str,
        team2: str,
        date: str,
        league: Optional[str] = None,
        parsed_time: Optional[datetime] = None,
        search_window_days: int = 3,
        min_similarity: float = 0.7,
    ) -> Optional[Dict]:
        """Find matching event with enhanced matching logic."""

    def normalize_league(self, league: str) -> str:
        """Normalize league code to sport name."""

    def normalize_team_names(self, event: Dict) -> Dict:
        """Ensure event has proper team name fields."""

Constants: - LEAGUE_TO_SPORT_MAPPING - Moved from event_database.py

Dependencies: - EnhancedTeamMatcher (existing) - DateTimeResolver (existing) - EventRepository (injected)

Module 2: event_refresher.py (~250 lines)

Purpose: Encapsulate all data refresh logic from external APIs.

Responsibilities: - Fetch events from TheSportsDB API - Fetch events from TV schedule API - Date range calculations - Staleness checking - Bulk event updates

Key Methods:

class EventRefresher:
    def __init__(self, event_repo, environment: str = "staging"):
        """Initialize with event repository and environment."""

    def needs_refresh(self, hours: int = 8) -> bool:
        """Check if database needs refresh."""

    def refresh(
        self,
        leagues: List[str],
        days: int = 3,
        start_date: Optional[str] = None,
    ) -> int:
        """Refresh events from TheSportsDB API."""

    def refresh_all_tv_events(
        self,
        tv_client: TVScheduleClient,
        days: int = 7,
    ) -> int:
        """Refresh events from TV schedule API."""

    def clear(self) -> None:
        """Clear all events from database."""

Dependencies: - TheSportsDB API client (via lazy import) - TVScheduleClient (injected) - EventRepository (injected)

Module 3: event_database.py (Updated, ~150 lines)

Purpose: Thin coordinator providing backward-compatible API.

Responsibilities: - Initialize D1 connection - Coordinate between matcher and refresher services - Maintain backward compatibility - Provide convenience methods

Key Methods:

class EventDatabase:
    def __init__(self, environment: str = "staging", db_file: Optional[str] = None):
        """Initialize with D1 connection and services."""
        # Create D1 connection
        # Create EventRepository
        # Create EventMatcher
        # Create EventRefresher

    def match_event(self, *args, **kwargs) -> Optional[Dict]:
        """Delegate to EventMatcher."""
        return self.matcher.match_event(*args, **kwargs)

    def refresh(self, *args, **kwargs) -> int:
        """Delegate to EventRefresher."""
        return self.refresher.refresh(*args, **kwargs)

    def refresh_all_tv_events(self, *args, **kwargs) -> int:
        """Delegate to EventRefresher."""
        return self.refresher.refresh_all_tv_events(*args, **kwargs)

    def needs_refresh(self, *args, **kwargs) -> bool:
        """Delegate to EventRefresher."""
        return self.refresher.needs_refresh(*args, **kwargs)

    def get_stats(self) -> Dict:
        """Get database statistics."""

    def clear(self) -> None:
        """Delegate to EventRefresher."""
        return self.refresher.clear()

2. Create event_matcher.py with EventMatcher class
3. Create event_refresher.py with EventRefresher class
4. Extract logic from EventDatabase methods

Phase 2: Update Coordinator

1. Update event_database.py to use services
2. Maintain all existing method signatures
3. Delegate to appropriate service

Phase 3: Testing

1. Write unit tests for EventMatcher
2. Write unit tests for EventRefresher
3. Write integration tests for EventDatabase
4. Run existing tests to verify backward compatibility

Phase 4: Documentation

1. Update module docstrings
2. Update engineering standards with Service Layer Split pattern
3. Create completion report

Benefits

Immediate Benefits

• Reduced Complexity: 648 lines → 3 focused modules (~150, 300, 250 lines)
• Improved Testability: Services can be tested in isolation
• Better Organization: Clear separation of concerns
• Easier Maintenance: Matching logic separate from refresh logic

Long-term Benefits

• Extensibility: New matching strategies easy to add
• Reusability: Services can be used independently
• Documentation: Smaller, focused modules are self-documenting
• Onboarding: Easier for new developers to understand

Risks & Mitigations

Risk: Breaking Existing Code

Mitigation: Maintain 100% backward compatibility in EventDatabase API. All existing method signatures preserved.

Risk: Circular Dependencies

Mitigation: Use dependency injection. Services receive repository, not database.

Risk: Performance Regression

Mitigation: No changes to core algorithms. Just organizational refactoring.

Engineering Standards Impact

The Service Layer Split pattern has been formalized in engineering standards with: - Clear guidelines for when to apply (>300 lines, multiple responsibilities) - Before/after examples showing structure - Implementation steps (3-phase approach) - Benefits documentation (testability, maintainability, reusability) - Real-world examples from Sprint 2 Tasks 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 - Anti-patterns to avoid (leaky abstractions, over-engineering)

Backward Compatibility Verification

✅ All existing code works without changes: - Property accessors: events, last_updated, leagues_covered, days_covered - Deprecated methods: _load(), _save(), _ensure_team_names() - LEAGUE_TO_SPORT_MAPPING constant re-exported - All method signatures preserved - Integration tests pass (test_d1_integration.py, test_enhanced_matching.py)

Sprint 2 Week 6 Impact

All three utilities successfully refactored:

Sprint 2 Week 6: ✅ COMPLETE - All utilities refactored with Service Layer Split pattern!
