+Project: Implements an AI avatar by streaming a user's local audio and video to a Hugging Face GPU server for immediate processing. In the cloud, the system performs simultaneous generative face swapping—animating a source image's identity with the user's live motion—and real-time voice conversion, which morphs the user's speech to a target profile while preserving the original prosody. The fully synchronized audio-visual output is then streamed back to the local machine, functioning as an integrated virtual camera and microphone for seamless use in communication platforms like Zoom and WhatsApp.

-# Incremental Model Integration Guide
-
-## Respecting Your Existing Architecture
-
-Your team made excellent decisions to avoid wholesale replacement. Here's how to safely integrate AI models:
-
-## Phase 1: Add Feature Flags (Zero Risk)
-
-Add to your environment or startup:
-```bash
-# Start with models disabled
-export MIRAGE_ENABLE_SCRFD=0
-export MIRAGE_ENABLE_LIVEPORTRAIT=0
-
-# Enable gradually
-export MIRAGE_ENABLE_SCRFD=1        # Enable face detection first
-export MIRAGE_ENABLE_LIVEPORTRAIT=1 # Enable animation second
-```
-
-## Phase 2: Integrate Safe Model Loader
-
-In your existing `avatar_pipeline.py`, add:
-```python
-# At the top
-from safe_model_integration import get_safe_model_loader
-
-class RealTimeAvatarPipeline:
-    def __init__(self):
-        # Your existing code...
-
-        # Add safe model loader
-        self.safe_loader = get_safe_model_loader()
-
-    async def initialize(self):
-        # Your existing initialization...
-
-        # Add safe model loading
-        await self.safe_loader.safe_load_scrfd()
-        await self.safe_loader.safe_load_liveportrait()
-
-    def process_video_frame(self, frame, frame_idx):
-        # Your existing code...
-
-        # Enhanced face detection (graceful fallback)
-        bbox = self.safe_loader.safe_detect_face(frame)
-
-        # Enhanced animation (graceful fallback to pass-through)
-        if self.reference_frame is not None:
-            result = self.safe_loader.safe_animate_face(self.reference_frame, frame)
-        else:
-            result = frame  # Keep existing pass-through logic
-
-        return result
-```
-
-## Phase 3: Enhanced Metrics (Drop-in)
-
-In your existing `get_performance_stats()`:
-```python
-from enhanced_metrics import enhance_existing_stats
-
-def get_performance_stats(self):
-    # Your existing stats collection...
-    base_stats = {
-        "models_loaded": self.loaded,
-        # ... your existing metrics
-    }
-
-    # Enhance with percentiles
-    return enhance_existing_stats(base_stats)
-```
-
-## Phase 4: Optional Model Download
-
-When you want models:
-```bash
-# Check what's needed
-python3 scripts/optional_download_models.py --status
-
-# Download only when features are enabled
-MIRAGE_ENABLE_SCRFD=1 python3 scripts/optional_download_models.py --download-needed
-```
-
-## Phase 5: WebRTC Monitoring (Optional)
-
-In your existing `webrtc_server.py`:
-```python
-from webrtc_connection_monitoring import add_connection_monitoring
-
-# After creating your router
-add_connection_monitoring(router, _peer_state)
-```
-
-## Validation Steps
-
-1. **Feature Flags Off**: System works exactly as before
-2. **SCRFD Enabled**: Face detection works, falls back gracefully
-3. **LivePortrait Enabled**: Animation works, falls back to pass-through
-4. **Metrics Enhanced**: More detailed latency tracking
-5. **Models Optional**: Download only when needed
-
-## Rollback Strategy
-
-At any point:
-```bash
-# Disable all features
-export MIRAGE_ENABLE_SCRFD=0
-export MIRAGE_ENABLE_LIVEPORTRAIT=0
-
-# System returns to existing pass-through behavior
-```
-
-This approach:
-- ✅ Keeps your token auth intact
-- ✅ Preserves existing WebRTC message schema  
-- ✅ Maintains Docker compatibility
-- ✅ Allows gradual rollout with instant rollback
-- ✅ No background tasks at import time
-- ✅ Compatible with your A10G + CUDA 12.1 setup

-Your team's analysis shows **excellent engineering judgment**. Wholesale replacement would introduce unnecessary risks to a working system. Here are targeted improvements that respect your architecture:
-
-## ✅ IMMEDIATE WINS (Zero Risk)
-
-### 1. Enhanced Metrics (Drop-in Compatible)
-**File**: `enhanced_metrics.py`
-**Integration**: Add to existing `get_performance_stats()`
-```python
-from enhanced_metrics import enhance_existing_stats
-return enhance_existing_stats(existing_stats)
-```
-**Benefits**: 
-- P50/P95/P99 latency percentiles
-- Component-level timing breakdown
-- GPU memory monitoring
-- **Zero breaking changes**
-
-### 2. Feature-Flagged Model Loading
-**File**: `safe_model_integration.py`  
-**Integration**: Import in existing pipeline
-```bash
-export MIRAGE_ENABLE_SCRFD=0  # Start disabled
-export MIRAGE_ENABLE_LIVEPORTRAIT=0
-```
-**Benefits**:
-- Graceful fallback to pass-through
-- Enable/disable models instantly  
-- No changes to existing message schemas
-- **Complete rollback capability**
-
-## 🚀 MEDIUM-TERM ADDITIONS (Low Risk)
-
-### 3. Connection Monitoring Endpoint
-**File**: `webrtc_connection_monitoring.py`
-**Integration**: Add to existing WebRTC router
-```python
-add_connection_monitoring(router, _peer_state)
-```
-**Benefits**:
-- `/webrtc/connections` diagnostic endpoint
-- Works with single-peer architecture
-- **No auth changes required**
-
-### 4. Optional Model Download Utility
-**File**: `scripts/optional_download_models.py`
-**Usage**: On-demand only (not in Docker build)
-```bash
-python3 scripts/optional_download_models.py --status
-```
-**Benefits**:
-- Download models when features are enabled
-- Conservative model list (SCRFD + LivePortrait basics)
-- **Not baked into Docker build**
-
-## 🎯 RESPECTS YOUR ARCHITECTURE DECISIONS
-
-### ✅ What We're NOT Changing
-- **Docker Base**: Keep your CUDA 12.1.1 + cuDNN 8 runtime
-- **Token Auth**: Preserve your WebRTC authentication system
-- **Message Schema**: Keep `image_jpeg_base64` format
-- **Entry Point**: Keep your `original_fastapi_app.py`
-- **Background Tasks**: No import-time tasks
-- **Router Integration**: Keep your existing WebRTC setup
-
-### ✅ What We're Safely Adding
-- **Feature flags** for gradual AI model rollout
-- **Enhanced metrics** for better observability  
-- **Graceful fallbacks** that maintain pass-through behavior
-- **Optional utilities** for model management
-- **Diagnostic endpoints** for connection monitoring
-
-## 📊 EXPECTED RESULTS WITH SAFE INTEGRATION
-
-### Phase 1: Metrics Enhanced (Day 1)
-```
-Before: Basic latency averages
-After:  P50/P95/P99 percentiles + component breakdown
-Risk:   Zero (pure addition)
-```
-
-### Phase 2: SCRFD Enabled (Day 2-3)  
-```
-Before: No face detection
-After:  Real face detection with pass-through fallback
-Risk:   Low (feature flag controlled)
-Command: MIRAGE_ENABLE_SCRFD=1
-```
-
-### Phase 3: LivePortrait Enabled (Day 4-7)
-```
-Before: Pass-through video
-After:  Real face animation with pass-through fallback  
-Risk:   Low (feature flag controlled)
-Command: MIRAGE_ENABLE_LIVEPORTRAIT=1
-```
-
-## 🔧 INTEGRATION SEQUENCE
-
-### Step 1: Add Enhanced Metrics (5 minutes)
-```python
-# In your existing pipeline get_performance_stats()
-from enhanced_metrics import enhance_existing_stats
-return enhance_existing_stats(base_stats)
-```
-
-### Step 2: Add Safe Model Loader (10 minutes)
-```python  
-# In your existing pipeline __init__()
-from safe_model_integration import get_safe_model_loader
-self.safe_loader = get_safe_model_loader()
-
-# In your existing initialize()
-await self.safe_loader.safe_load_scrfd()
-await self.safe_loader.safe_load_liveportrait()
-```
-
-### Step 3: Enable Features Gradually
-```bash
-# Test SCRFD first
-export MIRAGE_ENABLE_SCRFD=1
-# Verify face detection works, fallback to pass-through on errors
-
-# Test LivePortrait second  
-export MIRAGE_ENABLE_LIVEPORTRAIT=1
-# Verify animation works, fallback to pass-through on errors
-```
-
-### Step 4: Monitor and Validate
-```bash
-curl /metrics  # Check enhanced metrics
-curl /webrtc/connections  # Check connection status
-curl /health   # Verify system health
-```
-
-## ⚡ INSTANT ROLLBACK STRATEGY
-
-At any point, disable features:
-```bash
-export MIRAGE_ENABLE_SCRFD=0
-export MIRAGE_ENABLE_LIVEPORTRAIT=0
-# System immediately returns to existing pass-through behavior
-```
-
-## 🎉 BENEFITS OF THIS APPROACH
-
-### Technical Benefits
-- **Zero breaking changes** to existing working code
-- **Instant rollback** capability with feature flags
-- **Incremental validation** of each AI component
-- **Enhanced observability** with detailed metrics
-- **Compatible** with your CUDA 12.1 + A10G setup
-
-### Business Benefits  
-- **Reduced risk** of system downtime
-- **Faster iteration** with safe feature toggles
-- **Better debugging** with component-level metrics
-- **Proven stability** before full AI rollout

+## Architectural Reassessment (September 2025)
+
+The initial implementation adopted a motion-driven portrait reenactment stack (LivePortrait ONNX models + custom alignment & smoothing) which is misaligned with the updated product goal: low-latency real-time face swapping with optional enhancement.
+
+### Misalignment Summary
+
+| Target Need | LivePortrait Path | Impact |
+|-------------|-------------------|--------|
+| Direct identity substitution | Motion reenactment of a canonicalized reference | Unnecessary motion keypoint pipeline |
+| Minimal per-frame latency (<80ms) | ~500–600ms generator stages logged | Fails real-time threshold |
+| Simple detector→swap flow | Multi-stage appearance + motion + generator | Complexity & fragile compositing |
+| Artifact cleanup (optional) | No enhancement stage | Lower visual fidelity |
+| Multi-face capability | Single-face canonical reenactment focus | Limits scalability |
+
+### New Model Stack
+1. Detector / embeddings: insightface FaceAnalysis (buffalo_l pack → SCRFD_10G_KPS + recognition)
+2. Swapper: inswapper_128_fp16.onnx
+3. Enhancement (optional):
+  - CodeFormer (codeformer.pth) for fidelity‑controllable restoration
+
+### New Processing Loop
+1. Capture frame
+2. Detect faces (FaceAnalysis)
+3. For each target face (top-N): apply InSwapper with pre-extracted source identity
+4. (Optional) Run CodeFormer enhancer on final composited frame (if weights present)
+5. Emit frame to WebRTC
+
+### Environment Variables (Video / Enhancer)
+| Variable | Values | Description |
+|----------|--------|-------------|
+| MIRAGE_MAX_FACES | int (default 1) | Swap up to N largest faces |
+| MIRAGE_CODEFORMER_FIDELITY | 0.0–1.0 (default 0.75) | Balance identity (1.0) vs reconstruction sharpness |
+| MIRAGE_INSWAPPER_URL | URL | Override InSwapper model source |
+| MIRAGE_CODEFORMER_URL | URL | Override CodeFormer model source |
+
+### Deprecated / To Remove
+liveportrait_engine.py, avatar_pipeline.py, alignment.py, smoothing.py, realtime_optimizer.py, virtual_camera.py (current unused), enhanced_metrics.py, landmark_reenactor.py, safe_model_integration.py, debug_mediapipe.py
+
+These abstractions are reenactment-specific (appearance feature caching, keypoint smoothing, inverse warp compositing) and will be replaced by a concise `swap_pipeline.py`.
+
+---
 ## Goals
 - End-to-end audio latency < 250 ms (capture -> inference -> playback)
 - Video pipeline: 512x512 @ ≥20 FPS target under load
