"""Tier-escalation ladder + signal for the per-tier ingest fleet (Deck #323). The escalation ladder is the cheapest-first ordering of extraction tiers: fast -> structured -> ocr ( -> llm, reserved) It mirrors the ``tier`` vocabulary documented on :meth:`DocumentProcessor.tier <.base.DocumentProcessor.tier>` and the observability label set. On the *external* (procrastinate) ingest path each tier runs on its own queue + worker fleet; a document that a tier cannot parse well is **requeued onto the next tier's queue** rather than escalated inline. The mechanism is a raised :class:`EscalateError` that the procrastinate retry strategy turns into a native ``RetryDecision(queue=)`` queue-hop (see ``vector/queue/procrastinate.py``). This module is deliberately free of any queue/transport dependency: it only knows the *tier* vocabulary and the escalation signal. The tier -> queue-name mapping lives in the queue layer, which imports :class:`EscalateError` from here (document_processors never imports vector.queue, so there is no import cycle). """ from __future__ import annotations # Cheapest-first. ``llm`` is reserved (see base.DocumentProcessor.tier) and not # wired yet, so it is intentionally absent from the live ladder.
