docs: add supported platforms and Windows installation guide (#700)
* docs: add supported platforms section and Windows installation guide

Adds a platform compatibility table (Linux, macOS, Windows) and a
dedicated Windows setup section with step-by-step instructions for
installing PostgreSQL + pgvector and running Hindsight natively.
Follows up on #699 which added Windows native support.

Also fixes a ty type-check error in metrics.py for the conditional
resource module import.

* chore: sync generated clients and lock file after #699

Regenerate client SDKs to pick up ValidationError model changes
and update uv.lock with platform-specific uvloop/winloop deps.

* docs: update Windows section — pg0 now supports Windows

pg0 v0.12.0 added Windows support, so embedded DB works everywhere.
Restructure Windows section to show simple install-and-run first,
with external PostgreSQL as an optional alternative.

* chore: sync generated docs skill and openapi references

feat: Windows native support — run Hindsight without Docker (#699)
* feat: Windows native support — run Hindsight without Docker on Windows

Four compatibility fixes that allow Hindsight to run natively on Windows
with an external PostgreSQL + pgvector installation:

1. **pyproject.toml**: Conditional event loop dependency
   - `winloop` on Windows (sys_platform == 'win32')
   - `uvloop` on Linux/macOS (sys_platform != 'win32')

2. **main.py**: winloop integration via `winloop.install()`
   - Patches asyncio event loop policy globally before uvicorn starts
   - uvicorn sees "asyncio" but runs winloop underneath (same perf as uvloop)
   - Falls back to default asyncio if winloop unavailable

3. **metrics.py**: Guard `resource` module import
   - `resource` is Unix-only (getrusage, getrlimit)
   - Conditional import with None fallback
   - Skip process metrics collection on Windows

4. **fact_storage.py**: Cross-platform strftime
   - `%-d` (no-padding day) is glibc-only, fails on Windows
   - Replaced with `%d` + `.replace(" 0", " ")` for same output

## Windows Setup Guide

### Prerequisites
- Python 3.11+
- PostgreSQL 17 with pgvector extension
- Ollama (for local embeddings) or external embedding provider

### Install PostgreSQL + pgvector on Windows
```bash
winget install PostgreSQL.PostgreSQL.17

# Build pgvector from source (requires Visual Studio Build Tools)
git clone https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector.git
# In x64 Native Tools Command Prompt:
set PGROOT=C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\17
nmake /F Makefile.win
nmake /F Makefile.win install

# Enable extension
psql -U postgres -d hindsight -c "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;"
```

### Install and Run Hindsight
```bash
pip install -e ".[embedded-db]"

# Set environment variables
set HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER=openai
set HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY=your-api-key
set HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_BASE_URL=https://your-llm-endpoint/v1
set HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_MODEL=your-model
set HINDSIGHT_API_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres@localhost:5432/hindsight
set HINDSIGHT_API_EMBEDDING_PROVIDER=ollama
set HINDSIGHT_API_PORT=8889

hindsight-api
```

Data persists in PostgreSQL on your local disk — survives reboots,
updates, and anything that would wipe a Docker volume.

Tested on Windows 11 with PostgreSQL 17.9, pgvector 0.8.2,
Python 3.11, RTX 5080 (CUDA embeddings + reranking).

* fix: handle strftime ValueError on Windows in fact_storage

The strftime call on occurred_start/occurred_end can raise ValueError
on Windows when the datetime object has unexpected format properties.
Wrap in try/except to gracefully skip date signal rather than crash
the entire retain batch.

Add wall-clock timeout to reflect operations (#643)
* Initial plan

* feat: add wall-clock timeout to reflect operations (fixes vectorize-io/hindsight#642)

Add a configurable wall-clock timeout (default: 300s / 5 minutes) for
the entire reflect operation. This prevents reflect calls from hanging
for up to 40 minutes when LLM calls are slow or iteration counts are
high.

Changes:
- Add DEFAULT_REFLECT_WALL_TIMEOUT (300s) config constant
- Add HINDSIGHT_API_REFLECT_WALL_TIMEOUT env variable support
- Wrap run_reflect_agent() with asyncio.wait_for() in reflect_async()
- Return HTTP 504 on timeout in the reflect HTTP endpoint
- Add unit test for wall-clock timeout enforcement

feat(retain): verbatim, chunks modes and named retain strategies (#593)
* feat(retain): add verbatim extraction mode

Adds retain_extraction_mode="verbatim" that stores each chunk as-is
without LLM summarization. The LLM still runs to extract entities,
temporal info, and location for full indexability — only the fact text
is replaced with the original chunk content (one memory per chunk).

Useful for RAG-style indexing and benchmarks where original text
must be preserved in memory.

- Add "verbatim" to RETAIN_EXTRACTION_MODES in config.py
- Add VERBATIM_FACT_EXTRACTION_PROMPT with instructions to preserve text
- Add _collapse_to_verbatim() post-processing to enforce 1 fact/chunk
- Expose in bank config UI dropdown with updated description
- Update configuration.md docs with verbatim mode description
- Add unit test for _collapse_to_verbatim and integration test via LLM
- Fix pre-existing main.py CLI override missing new reranker fields
- Fix pre-existing cross_encoder.py ty type error via setattr

* refactor(retain): verbatim mode skips 'what' field entirely

Instead of asking the LLM to echo the chunk text back into 'what' and
then discarding it, verbatim mode now uses a dedicated schema
(VerbatimExtractedFact) that omits the 'what' field altogether.
The LLM only returns metadata (entities, temporal info, location, who),
saving output tokens and avoiding any risk of paraphrasing before the
backfill.

- Add VerbatimExtractedFact / VerbatimFactExtractionResponse models
- Verbatim mode skips causal-relations section (nothing to relate causally)
- _extract_facts_from_chunk: allow missing 'what' in verbatim mode,
  set combined_text="" (backfilled by _collapse_to_verbatim)
- Update verbatim prompt to say DO NOT include 'what'

* feat(retain): add index_only extraction mode

Zero-LLM retain mode: chunks are stored as-is with no LLM call, no
entity extraction, and no temporal indexing. Embeddings still run for
semantic search. User-provided entities via RetainContent.entities
are the sole source of entity data.

Early return placed before the batch-API check so no LLM queue or
concurrency locks are acquired.

- Add "index_only" to RETAIN_EXTRACTION_MODES
- Add _extract_facts_index_only() with pure Python chunking path
- Add to UI dropdown and update description
- Update configuration.md with index_only docs and table entry
- Add unit test asserting zero token usage and exact text preservation

* feat(retain): add named retain strategies

Allows mixing extraction modes in a single bank via named strategies.
Each strategy is a set of hierarchical config overrides (extraction_mode,
chunk_size, entity_labels, entities_allow_free_form, etc.) applied on
top of the resolved bank config at retain time.

- retain_strategies: dict of strategy_name → config overrides (bank config)
- retain_default_strategy: default strategy when none specified (bank config)
- strategy field on /retain request: per-call override
- apply_strategy() in config_resolver applies overrides via dataclasses.replace()
- strategy propagates through retain_batch_async → _retain_batch_async_internal
  and through the async worker task payload
- Any hierarchical field is overridable per strategy, including entity_labels
  and entities_allow_free_form
- Docs updated with strategy configuration example and RRF fairness note
- Unit test for apply_strategy covering overrides, unknown strategy, and
  non-hierarchical field filtering

* feat(retain): add per-item strategy and strategy tests

- Add `strategy` field to `MemoryItem` so individual items in a retain
  request can override the request-level strategy
- Add `strategy` field to `FileRetainMetadata` for per-file strategy
  override in file retain requests
- Group memory items by effective strategy in `api_retain`; each group
  is processed as a separate batch, results are aggregated
- Thread strategy through `submit_async_file_retain` →
  `_handle_file_convert_retain` → retain task payload
- Add `operation_ids` to `RetainResponse` for async requests with
  mixed per-item strategies
- Add `test_strategy_overrides_extraction_mode_for_index_only`: unit
  test verifying a named strategy with index_only bypasses the LLM
- Add `test_retain_request_per_item_strategy_field`: unit test for
  per-item strategy grouping logic

* feat(ui): add retain strategies and default strategy to bank config UI

- Add StrategiesEditor component: per-strategy cards with name input and
  JSON overrides textarea; supports add/remove; validates JSON inline
- Add Default Strategy text input (retain_default_strategy)
- Update RetainEdits type and retainSlice() to include both new fields
- Regenerate OpenAPI spec (retain_strategies, retain_default_strategy,
  per-item strategy on MemoryItem/FileRetainMetadata, operation_ids on
  RetainResponse)

* refactor(ui): move retain strategies into its own dedicated config section

* feat(ui): improve retain strategies UX and add strategy to document dialog

- Strategy form now includes entity section (free form toggle + entity labels editor)
- Default strategy selector moved outside tab panel, above strategy chips
- Strategy tabs redesigned with underline indicator style for clarity
- Remove strategy confirms with AlertDialog
- Fix tab re-render bug when typing strategy name (skipSyncRef)
- Add strategy field to Add New Document dialog (text + per-file for uploads)
- File upload collapsible uses same Document/Tags/Source tabbed layout
- API: validate empty strategy names in config_resolver
- api.ts: add strategy field to retain and uploadFiles types

* fix: forward strategy through HTTP layer and SDK; add integration test

- route.ts: extract and forward `strategy` from request body to retainBatch
- TypeScript SDK: accept and forward `strategy` in retainBatch options and per-item
- config_resolver.py: validate empty strategy name keys on update
- bank-config-view.tsx: merge entity fields into RetainStrategyForm, redesign strategy tabs with underline style, add confirmation dialog for removal, fix tab-reset-on-typing with skipSyncRef, move default strategy selector outside panel
- bank-selector.tsx: add strategy field to Add Document dialog (per-file in tabbed collapsible)
- test_retain.py: add end-to-end integration test verifying named strategy application (index_only = 0 LLM tokens)

* fix: regenerate TypeScript client with strategy field in RetainRequest/MemoryItem

- Regenerate OpenAPI spec to include strategy field in RetainRequest and MemoryItem
- Regenerate TypeScript client from updated spec
- Add strategy to MemoryItemInput interface
- Remove (item as any) cast now that strategy is properly typed

* rename: index_only extraction mode → chunks

* remove top-level strategy from RetainRequest; strategy is per-item only

* fix(clients): update Go and Python generated clients with strategy/operation_ids fields

* fix(ci): update hierarchical field count, add strategy to Rust MemoryItem initializers

* fix(go-client): minimal targeted YAML updates for strategy/operation_ids fields

docs: add config vars for local reranker FP16 and bucket batching (#589)
* docs: add config vars for local reranker FP16 and bucket batching (#588)

* fix: add missing reranker local fields to CLI config override and fix ty type error

- Add reranker_local_fp16, reranker_local_bucket_batching, reranker_local_batch_size
  to the manual HindsightConfig() constructor call in main.py (CLI override block)
- Replace direct module attribute assignment with setattr() in the transformers 5.x
  monkey-patch so ty can resolve it without raising unresolved-attribute

feat: introduce hindsight-api-slim and hindsight-all-slim packages (#560)
* feat: introduce hindsight-api-slim and hindsight-all-slim packages

Closes #552

- Move all source code from hindsight-api/ to new hindsight-api-slim/
- hindsight-api-slim has heavy ML deps (torch, sentence-transformers,
  transformers, einops, flashrank, mlx, mlx-lm, safetensors) and
  pg0-embedded as optional extras: [local-ml], [embedded-db], [all]
- hindsight-api becomes a zero-code meta-package depending on
  hindsight-api-slim[all] for full backward compatibility
- Add hindsight-all-slim meta-package: hindsight-api-slim + client + embed
- hindsight-all updated to depend on hindsight-api-slim[all]
- pg0.py: lazy-import pg0 with clear ImportError pointing to [embedded-db]
- Dockerfile: replace sed hack with proper uv sync --extra flags
- Update release.yml, test.yml, lint.sh, release.sh, CLAUDE.md and
  all path references throughout the repo

* refactor: rename hindsight/ directory to hindsight-all/

* docs: document hindsight-api-slim and hindsight-all-slim package variants

Add package variants table and extras explanation to installation.md

* docs: remove emojis from installation.md, use professional tone

* docs: link Docker slim variant to pip package variants section

* docs: consolidate Docker image variants into single table

* ci: fix working-directory paths after package restructure

- Replace all hindsight-api → hindsight-api-slim in test.yml
- Replace hindsight → hindsight-all in test.yml
- Add --extra embedded-db to test-embed API install step

* ci: add local-ml and embedded-db extras to API sync steps

These extras were previously implicit in the old hindsight-api package
(which bundled everything). Now that hindsight-api-slim uses optional
extras, we must explicitly request local-ml and embedded-db in CI.

* ci: add API install step with embedded-db to test-embed smoke test

The smoke test starts hindsight-api as a daemon, which requires pg0-embedded.
Add a dedicated install step for hindsight-api-slim with embedded-db extra
so the daemon can start successfully.

* ci: remove --no-install-project when using optional extras

When --no-install-project is combined with --extra, the optional deps
are not installed because extras require the project to be active.
Remove --no-install-project from steps that need local-ml or embedded-db.

* ci: fix ordering of uv sync steps to preserve optional extras

When uv sync runs for a different workspace member, it removes optional
extras installed for other members. Fix by always running extra-requiring
API sync last, after other workspace member syncs.

Also remove --no-install-project from embedded-db sync in test-embed,
as --no-install-project prevents optional extras from being active.

* ci: add local-ml extra to test-embed API install for smoke test

The smoke test starts the full API server which needs sentence-transformers
for local embeddings (default provider). Add local-ml extra to the install.

* ci: simplify extras with --all-extras and add slim pip smoke test

- Replace explicit --extra local-ml --extra embedded-db with --all-extras
  for cleaner, more maintainable sync steps
- Add test-pip-slim job: tests hindsight-api-slim[embedded-db] without
  local ML models, using Cohere for embeddings/reranking (mirrors Docker
  slim smoke test approach)

* ci: simplify slim smoke test to health check only (mirrors Docker test)
