Summary

Invert the OCR engine priority: use Google Cloud Vision API as the primary engine (higher accuracy) until a configurable monthly request limit is reached, then fall back to local PaddleOCR for the remainder of the month. Authentication uses Auth0 Workload Identity Federation (WIF) -- no service account keys.

Context

  • Auth0 M2M app and GCP Workload Identity Federation are already configured
  • WIF credential config is committed at secrets/app/google-wif-config.json
  • Google Vision free tier: 1,000 requests/month, then ~$1.50/1,000
  • Goal: use the free tier fully, then hard-cutoff to PaddleOCR

Requirements

Engine Priority Change

  • Before limit: Google Vision is primary engine (no PaddleOCR fallback needed -- Vision accuracy is sufficient)
  • After limit hit: PaddleOCR becomes sole engine for the rest of the calendar month
  • Hard cutoff -- no Vision API calls after limit is reached

Monthly Request Counter (Redis)

  • Atomic counter in Redis (db 1, same as job queue)
  • Key: ocr:vision_requests:{YYYY-MM} (e.g., ocr:vision_requests:2026-02)
  • TTL: auto-expire at end of calendar month (set expiry to midnight UTC on 1st of next month)
  • Increment on each successful Vision API call
  • Check count before calling Vision API -- if >= limit, skip directly to PaddleOCR

Configuration (docker-compose env vars)

  • VISION_MONTHLY_LIMIT=1000 -- configurable requests per calendar month (default 1000)
  • OCR_PRIMARY_ENGINE=google_vision -- flip default from paddleocr to google_vision
  • OCR_FALLBACK_ENGINE=paddleocr -- PaddleOCR becomes the fallback
  • Keep existing OCR_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD and OCR_FALLBACK_THRESHOLD settings

Auth0 Token Script

  • Create /app/scripts/fetch-auth0-token.sh in the OCR container
  • Reads Auth0 credentials from Docker secrets:
    • /run/secrets/auth0-ocr-client-id
    • /run/secrets/auth0-ocr-client-secret
  • Calls https://motovaultpro.auth0.com/oauth/token with client_credentials grant
  • Outputs JWT in the format expected by Google's executable-sourced credentials
  • WIF config at secrets/app/google-wif-config.json already references this script path

Docker Secrets and CI/CD Deployment

Two new Gitea repository secrets must be created in the Gitea web UI:

  • AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_ID -- Auth0 M2M application client ID for GCP WIF
  • AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_SECRET -- Auth0 M2M application client secret for GCP WIF

These are separate from the existing AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET (which is for the backend Auth0 tenant).

scripts/inject-secrets.sh

Add the two new secrets to the injection script following the existing pattern:

  • Read from AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_ID and AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_SECRET env vars
  • Write to $SECRETS_DIR/auth0-ocr-client-id.txt and $SECRETS_DIR/auth0-ocr-client-secret.txt
  • Include in the validation check (script exits non-zero if missing)

.gitea/workflows/staging.yaml

Add to the "Inject secrets" step env block (~line 132-147):

AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_ID: ${{ secrets.AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_ID }}
AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_SECRET: ${{ secrets.AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_SECRET }}

.gitea/workflows/production.yaml

Add to the "Inject secrets" step env block (~line 122-137):

AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_ID: ${{ secrets.AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_ID }}
AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_SECRET: ${{ secrets.AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_SECRET }}

Docker Compose secret mounts (all compose files)

Mount into the OCR container following the existing bind-mount pattern:

volumes:
  - ./secrets/app/auth0-ocr-client-id.txt:/run/secrets/auth0-ocr-client-id:ro
  - ./secrets/app/auth0-ocr-client-secret.txt:/run/secrets/auth0-ocr-client-secret:ro
  - ./secrets/app/google-wif-config.json:/run/secrets/google-wif-config.json:ro

Files to update:

  • docker-compose.yml (dev)
  • docker-compose.staging.yml (staging)
  • docker-compose.prod.yml (production)
  • docker-compose.blue-green.yml (both blue and green OCR stacks)

Secret file examples

Add .example files for documentation:

  • secrets/app/auth0-ocr-client-id.txt.example -- contents: your-auth0-m2m-client-id
  • secrets/app/auth0-ocr-client-secret.txt.example -- contents: your-auth0-m2m-client-secret

Counter Reset

  • Calendar month reset (1st of each month at midnight UTC)
  • Handled automatically by Redis key naming (YYYY-MM) and TTL

Files to Change

File Change
ocr/app/engines/cloud_engine.py Update _get_client() to use WIF config via ADC instead of service account key file
ocr/app/engines/hybrid_engine.py Add Redis counter check before Vision calls; skip to fallback when limit reached

ocr/Dockerfile Install curl/jq if not present, copy script, make executable
ocr/requirements.txt Verify google-cloud-vision and redis already present (they are)
ocr/tests/test_engine_abstraction.py Add tests for monthly limit logic, counter increment, cutoff behavior
scripts/inject-secrets.sh Add AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_ID and AUTH0_OCR_CLIENT_SECRET injection and validation
.gitea/workflows/staging.yaml Add new secrets to "Inject secrets" step env block
.gitea/workflows/production.yaml Add new secrets to "Inject secrets" step env block
docker-compose.yml Add OCR secret mounts, WIF config mount, env vars
docker-compose.staging.yml Add OCR secret mounts, WIF config mount
docker-compose.prod.yml Add OCR secret mounts, WIF config mount
docker-compose.blue-green.yml Add OCR secret mounts to both blue and green stacks
secrets/app/auth0-ocr-client-id.txt.example New -- example file for documentation
secrets/app/auth0-ocr-client-secret.txt.example New -- example file for documentation

Acceptance Criteria

  • Google Vision is used as primary engine when monthly limit not reached
  • PaddleOCR takes over immediately when limit is hit (hard cutoff)
  • Redis counter increments on each Vision API call
  • Counter auto-expires at end of calendar month
  • VISION_MONTHLY_LIMIT is configurable via docker-compose env var
  • Auth0 WIF authentication works (no service account key files)
  • Auth0 OCR credentials stored as Docker secrets (not env vars)
  • scripts/inject-secrets.sh injects and validates the two new secrets
  • .gitea/workflows/staging.yaml passes new secrets to inject script
  • .gitea/workflows/production.yaml passes new secrets to inject script
  • All four docker-compose files mount new secrets into OCR container
  • docker-compose.blue-green.yml mounts secrets into both blue and green OCR stacks
  • .example files added for new secrets
  • All existing OCR tests pass
  • New tests cover limit logic, counter behavior, and engine switching
