Batch Transform Feature Implementation Plan

Implement Batch Transform Feature with File Upload

Description: Implement a new batch transform feature that allows users to upload and process text files through a dedicated endpoint.

Technical Requirements:

  • Create new route at /batch-transform
  • Implement POST request handling using Flask
  • Set up multipart/form-data form encoding
  • Process files synchronously (no background queue)
  • Limit file size to 5MB
  • Support .txt files only in initial MVP

Security Measures:

  1. Implement server-side file type validation
  2. Generate randomized filenames for uploaded files
  3. Implement content-type verification independent of browser headers

Frontend Requirements:

  • Create simple upload form interface
  • Implement basic error handling and user feedback

Additional Notes:

  • Feature builds on learnings from previous get-file vulnerability
  • Initial implementation focuses on MVP functionality
  • Synchronous processing may need review for scaling

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Route accepts POST requests with file uploads
  • File size validation works correctly
  • Only .txt files are accepted
  • Security measures are properly implemented
  • Upload form functions as expected
  • Error handling provides clear user feedback
