# Active Context

## Current Focus

- Adding fallback import patterns to all non-init Python files
- Maintaining relative imports while ensuring compatibility with Red-DiscordBot loading
- Implementing consistent import patterns across the entire codebase

## Recent Changes

- Added fallback imports in core module files:
  - base.py
  - cleanup.py
  - commands.py
  - error_handler.py
  - events.py
  - guild.py
  - initialization.py
  - lifecycle.py
  - response_handler.py
  - settings.py
  - Verified types.py (no changes needed - only standard library imports)
  - __init__.py

## Next Steps

1. Add fallback imports to database module files:
   - connection_manager.py
   - query_manager.py
   - schema_manager.py
   - video_archive_db.py
   - __init__.py

2. Add fallback imports to ffmpeg module files:
   - binary_manager.py
   - encoder_params.py
   - exceptions.py
   - ffmpeg_downloader.py
   - ffmpeg_manager.py
   - gpu_detector.py
   - process_manager.py
   - verification_manager.py
   - video_analyzer.py
   - __init__.py

3. Add fallback imports to queue module files:
   - cleanup.py
   - health_checker.py
   - manager.py
   - metrics_manager.py
   - models.py
   - monitoring.py
   - persistence.py
   - processor.py
   - recovery_manager.py
   - state_manager.py
   - types.py
   - __init__.py

4. Add fallback imports to utils module files:
   - compression_handler.py
   - compression_manager.py
   - directory_manager.py
   - download_core.py
   - download_manager.py
   - exceptions.py
   - file_deletion.py
   - file_operations.py
   - file_ops.py
   - message_manager.py
   - path_manager.py
   - permission_manager.py
   - process_manager.py
   - progress_handler.py
   - progress_tracker.py
   - url_validator.py
   - __init__.py

## Active Files

Currently working through database module files

## Strategy

- Process one module at a time
- Update files systematically
- Commit changes per module
- Keep context documentation updated
- Test loading after each module update
- Pay special attention to both TYPE_CHECKING imports and package-level imports
