Summary

This PR addresses four high-impact improvements to the MindMapper codebase:

  • Security: Remove hardcoded empty API keys, use environment variables with proper warnings
  • Error Handling: Add comprehensive try-catch blocks to all API calls with specific error types
  • Type Hints: Add type annotations to key functions for better code quality and IDE support
  • Documentation: Update README with clear API key setup instructions and security best practices

Changes

Security Improvements

  • ✅ Removed hardcoded empty API keys from agents.py and main.py
  • ✅ Use environment variables: OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GOOGLE_API_KEY
  • ✅ Add warnings when API keys are not configured
  • ✅ Updated README with security best practices

Error Handling

  • ✅ Added try-catch blocks to all API calls (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Knowledge Graph)
  • ✅ Handle network timeouts (10s timeout for requests)
  • ✅ Catch specific API errors: AuthenticationError, RateLimitError, APIError
  • ✅ Handle JSON parsing errors
  • ✅ Provide informative error messages to users

Code Quality

  • ✅ Added type hints to functions in agents.py, main.py, simulation.py
  • ✅ Imported typing module: List, Dict, Optional, Any
  • ✅ Added docstrings to API methods
  • ✅ Improved code maintainability and IDE support

Documentation

  • ✅ Updated README with API key setup instructions
  • ✅ Added environment variable examples for Unix/Windows
  • ✅ Documented .env file approach
  • ✅ Added links to API key providers
  • ✅ Included security best practices section

Impact

  • High impact: Prevents accidental commits of API keys (security vulnerability)
  • High impact: Improves user experience with better error messages
  • Medium impact: Reduces runtime crashes from API failures
  • Medium impact: Improves code maintainability with type hints

Testing

Changes have been tested to ensure:

  • No breaking changes to existing functionality
  • All imports are valid
  • No syntax errors introduced

Compliance

✅ Follows CLAUDE.md guidelines:

  • No breaking API changes
  • No changes to core algorithms
  • Focused, minimal improvements
  • Enhanced safety and security
