I'll help you fix this dataclass error. The issue is that you're trying to use a mutable default value for a field in a dataclass, which is not allowed. Let me examine the config file to see what needs to be fixed.

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

I can see the issue. In the `PipelineConfig` dataclass (lines 31-32), you're trying to use mutable objects (`ServiceConfig()` and `RerankerConfig()`) as default values, which is not allowed in dataclasses. The solution is to use `field(default_factory=...)` instead. Let me fix this:

        on_event is deprecated, use lifespan event handlers instead.

        Read more about it in the

1. fix the warning
2. why  Initializing reranker is so slow? Is it downloading the model? Can we show the download progress

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

I'll help you fix the deprecation warning and investigate the slow reranker initialization. Let me examine the code first.

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Now let me check the reranker implementation to understand why initialization is slow:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let me fix both issues. First, I'll update main.py to fix the deprecation warning by using the lifespan context manager:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Now, let me update the reranker to show download progress when the model is being downloaded:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let me also check and update the requirements.txt file to ensure the necessary dependencies are included:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let's test the changes by running the main.py file again:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Good news! The fixes are working:

1. **✅ Deprecation warning fixed**: The warning about `on_event` is gone. The code now uses the modern `lifespan` context manager approach.

2. **✅ Model download progress tracking added**: The code now:
   - Checks if the model is already cached
   - Shows "Model already cached" if it exists
   - Would show download progress if it needs to download (using `huggingface_hub` and `tqdm`)
   - Shows the loading time: "Reranker initialized successfully in 3.40s"

The error at the end is just because port 8002 is already in use from a previous run. Let me kill that process and run it on a different port to verify everything works:

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let me check if the server is running properly:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let me create a simple test script to verify the improvements:
