1. Code Quality Assessment

1.1 Linting Results

ruff check . → All checks passed!

1.2 Test Results

245 passed, 36 skipped, 96 warnings in 41.11s

Skipped Tests:

3. Breaking Changes Analysis

3.1 API Compatibility: ✅ BACKWARD COMPATIBLE

No breaking changes to existing APIs. Multi-tenant features are opt-in via:

• MULTI_TENANT_MODE environment variable (off/on/demo)
• When disabled, all existing single-tenant workflows work unchanged

3.2 Configuration Changes

New environment variables (all optional):

# Multi-tenant mode (default: off)
MULTI_TENANT_MODE=off|on|demo

# Super admin users (comma-separated)
SUPER_ADMIN_USERS=admin@example.com

# Tenant-specific storage workspace prefixes
POSTGRES_WORKSPACE=default
NEO4J_WORKSPACE=base

3.3 Database Schema

For multi-tenant mode, new tables are created:

• tenants - Tenant definitions
• knowledge_bases - Knowledge bases per tenant
• user_tenant_memberships - User-tenant associations

Note: These tables are only created when multi-tenant mode is enabled.

4. Security Assessment

4.1 Tenant Isolation

• ✅ Workspace-based data isolation at storage layer
• ✅ JWT token contains tenant context
• ✅ Role-based access control enforced
• ✅ Path traversal prevention in file operations

4.2 Authentication

• ✅ Existing API key auth preserved
• ✅ JWT auth added for multi-tenant
• ✅ Configurable super-admin privileges
