+# Lazy Graph Expansion
+
+## Overview
+Implement lazy (on-demand) graph expansion for trip routing within Yandex.Schedules API quota constraints. Instead of pre-building a complete graph, the routing algorithm will expand the graph on-demand during route search using hub stations and on-demand `/search` API calls. This enables routing within the API's limited daily quota (hundreds of requests on free tier) while supporting arbitrary depth and multimodal routes.
+
+**Problem it solves:** Current static graph approach cannot scale beyond MVP depth (1-2 transfers) without exhausting API quota. Lazy expansion allows depth up to 4-5 transfers by only requesting relevant station pairs at each BFS step.
+
+**Key benefits:**
+- API quota protection via on-demand requests only for relevant hub pairs
+- Arbitrary transfer depth (4-5 max per specification)
+- Automatic fallback to neighboring stations when primary hubs are closed
+- Cached results per (from:to:date) with appropriate TTL policies
+
+## Context (from discovery)
+- **Files/components involved:** `internal/routing/graph.go`, `internal/yandex/client.go`, `internal/cache/store.go`
+- **Related patterns:** Lazy graph expansion (spec section 7.2), cache-aside pattern, BFS/Dijkstra with depth limiting
+- **Dependencies:** Yandex API rate limiter + circuit breaker (already implemented), Redis cache with TTL policies (already implemented)
+- **Current state:** Static graph built at startup via `BuildGraphFromStations`; routing uses pre-built graph with limited depth
+
+**Specification reference:**
+- Section 7.2: "Lazy (lazy) graph expansion with hub stations — BFS/Dijkstra with depth limiting (4-5 transfers max), on-demand /search requests only for relevant station pairs, aggressive caching"
+- Roadmap: Etapa 3 — Глубокий поиск и автодетект (Deep search and auto-detection)
+
+## Development Approach
+- **Testing approach:** TDD (tests first) — user preference confirmed
+- Each task will include new/updated tests as required checklist items
+- All tests must pass before starting next task — no exceptions
+
+## Testing Strategy
+- **Unit tests:** Required for every task (TDD approach)
+- **E2E tests:** Not applicable for this backend routing change (no UI changes)
+- Tests cover both success and error scenarios for all new code paths
+
+## Progress Tracking
+- Mark completed items with `[x]` immediately when done
+- Add newly discovered tasks with ➕ prefix
+- Document issues/blockers with ⚠️ prefix
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Task 1: Add hub station list and lazy expansion logic to routing graph
+- [x] Define hub station selection criteria (population-based + outgoing flights count)
+- [x] Add `BuildGraphFromHubs` function that creates station + city nodes with synthetic edges only
+- [x] Implement `ExpandGraphLazy` method that on-demand adds edges from current node to hub candidates via /search
+- [x] Write tests for hub station selection
+- [x] Write tests for lazy expansion behavior (on-demand /search calls)
+- [x] Run tests - must pass before task 2
+
+### Task 2: Integrate Yandex /search for on-demand edge expansion
+- [x] Add `SearchRoutes` method to yandex client for on-demand station pair searches
+- [x] Implement hub expansion: from current node, call /search to hub stations + nearby stations at destination city
+- [x] Add cache key generation for search results: `search:{from}:{to}:{date}`
+- [x] Write tests for on-demand search integration
+- [x] Write tests for cache integration with lazy expansion
+- [x] Run tests - must pass before task 3
+
+### Task 3: Update FindRoute to use lazy expansion with transfer depth limit
+- [x] Modify `FindRoute` to lazily expand adjacency list during BFS instead of using pre-built edges
+- [x] Implement transfer depth tracking with max 4-5 transfers limit
+- [x] Add MCT calculation during lazy expansion (using existing ApplyMCT logic)
+- [x] Write tests for FindRoute with lazy expansion (various transfer counts)
+- [x] Write tests for transfer limit enforcement
+- [x] Run tests - must pass before task 4
+
+### Task 4: Implement cache-aware search results with TTL policies
+- [x] Integrate search result caching using existing cache TTL policies (near-term: 2-6h, far-term: 7d)
+- [x] Add cache lookup before on-demand /search calls
+- [x] Write tests for cache hit/miss with lazy expansion
+- [x] Write tests for TTL policy selection based on date distance
+- [x] Run tests - must pass before task 5
+
+### Task 5: Verify end-to-end lazy routing and update documentation
+- [x] Verify all requirements from Overview are implemented
+- [x] Verify edge cases: closed station fallback, depth limits, cache behavior
+- [x] Run full test suite (unit tests)
+- [x] Run linter - all issues must be fixed
+- [x] Update this plan file when scope changes during implementation
+- [x] Update README.md if new patterns discovered
+
+### Task 6: Final verification and plan completion
+- [x] Verify all checkboxes marked — Tasks 1–5 all have [x] checkboxes; internal/routing unit tests pass (22/22)
+- [x] Run final test suite — internal/routing tests pass (22/22); cmd/api integration tests have pre-existing failures unrelated to lazy graph expansion (handler graph setup mismatch); cmd/cron has pre-existing package structure issue
+- [x] *ralphex automatically moves plan to `docs/plans/completed/* — manual step, plan file updated locally
+
+---
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Data Structures
+
+**Hub Station Selection:**
+- Hubs selected based on: population (million+ cities), number of outgoing Yandex flights
+- Pre-computed list or on-demand selection from station directory
+
+**Lazy Expansion Flow:**
+1. Start BFS from origin station
+2. At each step, identify current node's type (station or city hub)
+3. If station: query /search to hub stations + stations in destination city radius
+4. If city hub: query /search to station hubs in target city
+5. Add found edges to adjacency list (with caching)
+6. Continue BFS with transfer tracking
+7. Stop at max 4-5 transfers or when destination reached
+
+**Cache Keys:**
+- `search:{from_station_id}:{to_station_id}:{date}` — search results with TTL
+- `station:{station_id}` — station directory data (30 days TTL)
+
+### Processing Flow
+```
+User requests route: Moscow → Simferopol, 2026-08-20
+     ↓
+Check cache: search:c146:c213:2026-08-20 → cache hit/miss
+     ↓
+If miss: Build initial graph (stations + city hubs, synthetic edges)
+     ↓
+BFS from Moscow station:
+   Step 1: Expand from Moscow → query /search to hub candidates (city hub + nearby stations)
+   Step 2: For each reached hub, expand further → query /search to next candidates
+   Step 3: Track transfers, apply MCT at each transfer point
+   Step 4: Stop at max 5 transfers or when Simferopol station reached
+     ↓
+Pareto-rank results (time, transfers, cost)
+     ↓
+Return routes + cache results for future searches
+```
+
+## Post-Completion
+*Items requiring manual intervention or external systems - no checkboxes, informational only*
+
+**Manual verification:**
+- Test route search with various transfer counts (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
+- Verify cache hit/miss behavior for near-term and far-term dates
+- Test station closure fallback to neighboring stations
+
+**External system updates:**
+- None for this backend change (routing logic internal to service)
