* 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)
* feat: add comprehensive OpenTelemetry tracing
- Add tool execution spans for reflect operations
- Add tool call information (names, params) to spans
- Change verification scope from 'test' to 'verification'
- Add hindsight.reflect_generation span for done() processing
- Implement no-op tracer for improved code readability
- Update documentation for OTEL configuration
- Resolve merge conflicts from rebase
* fix: properly serialize Pydantic models in span recording
- Add _serialize_for_span() helper to handle Pydantic models
- Update all providers to use the helper function
- Fixes test failures with 'Object of type X is not JSON serializable'
* feat: add Grafana LGTM stack for unified local observability
Add Grafana LGTM (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) as the recommended
local development observability stack. This provides traces, metrics,
and logs in a single Docker container instead of separate tools.
Changes:
- Add scripts/dev/grafana/ with docker-compose and README
- Add scripts/dev/start-grafana.sh startup script
- Update .env.example to reference Grafana LGTM
- Update configuration docs to emphasize Grafana LGTM as primary option
- Reorder OTLP backend list to show Grafana LGTM first
Benefits:
- Single container vs multiple separate tools (Jaeger, SigNoz, etc.)
- ~515MB image with full observability stack
- Compatible with existing OTLP configuration
- Simpler local development setup
* chore: remove SigNoz scripts and references
Remove SigNoz observability stack in favor of Grafana LGTM as the
sole recommended local development tracing solution.
Changes:
- Delete scripts/dev/signoz/ directory and all SigNoz configurations
- Delete scripts/dev/start-signoz.sh startup script
- Remove SigNoz references from .env.example
- Remove SigNoz from OTLP backends list in configuration docs
Grafana LGTM provides the same capabilities (traces, metrics, logs)
in a simpler single-container setup.
* feat: add consolidation span hierarchy for tracing
Add parent-child span structure for consolidation operations:
- hindsight.consolidation: Parent span for each memory being processed
- hindsight.consolidation_recall: Child span for finding related observations
- LLM call span: Automatically created by LLM provider (scope="consolidation")
This enables detailed timing breakdown in Grafana Tempo:
- Total consolidation time per memory
- Time spent in recall
- Time spent in LLM call
- Time spent executing actions (create/update)
All consolidation tests pass (31/31).
* feat: add Prometheus metrics and GenAI dashboard to Grafana stack
Add comprehensive metrics and dashboarding to the Grafana LGTM stack:
Metrics Collection:
- Configure Prometheus to scrape Hindsight API /metrics endpoint
- Scrape interval: 10 seconds
- Targets hindsight-api on host.docker.internal:8888
GenAI Dashboard:
- Pre-configured dashboard with 6 panels:
- LLM call rate (by provider/model)
- LLM call duration (p50/p95 by scope)
- Token usage - input tokens/sec by scope
- Token usage - output tokens/sec by scope
- Operations rate (retain/recall/reflect/consolidation)
- Operation duration p95 by operation type
Configuration:
- Mount prometheus.yml for metrics scraping
- Mount dashboards directory for auto-provisioning
- Add host.docker.internal mapping for container->host access
- Dashboard provisioning with auto-reload every 10s
Documentation:
- Updated README with metrics viewing instructions
- Added PromQL query examples
- Documented dashboard access and navigation
This provides full observability: traces (Tempo) + metrics (Prometheus/Mimir) + dashboards (Grafana)
* refactor: merge Grafana setup into existing monitoring stack
Consolidate the separate scripts/dev/grafana/ setup into the existing
scripts/dev/monitoring/ stack, using Grafana LGTM (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir).
Changes:
- Remove separate scripts/dev/grafana/ directory and start-grafana.sh
- Rewrite scripts/dev/monitoring/start.sh to use Docker + Grafana LGTM
(was: download native Prometheus/Grafana binaries)
- Add docker-compose.yaml for Grafana LGTM container
- Add prometheus.yml for scraping Hindsight API metrics
- Mount existing dashboards from monitoring/grafana/dashboards/
- Add comprehensive README.md
Benefits:
- Single unified monitoring command: ./scripts/dev/start-monitoring.sh
- Uses existing dashboard files (hindsight-operations, hindsight-llm, hindsight-api-service)
- Simpler setup: Docker-based vs downloading/running native binaries
- Full observability: traces + metrics + logs + dashboards in one container
- Standard ports: Grafana on 3000, OTLP on 4317/4318
Architecture:
- Grafana LGTM container (~515MB) provides all components
- Dashboards auto-provisioned from monitoring/grafana/dashboards/
- Prometheus scrapes host.docker.internal:8888/metrics
- Shared hindsight-network for future service-to-service tracing
* fix: run monitoring stack in foreground for easy Ctrl+C stop
Change docker-compose from detached (-d) to foreground mode.
Users can now stop the stack with Ctrl+C instead of needing
to run docker-compose down separately.
* fix: remove invalid home dashboard path and obsolete version field
- Remove GF_DASHBOARDS_DEFAULT_HOME_DASHBOARD_PATH environment variable
(was pointing to wrong path causing 'Failed to load home dashboard' error)
- Remove obsolete 'version' field from docker-compose.yaml
(docker-compose v2+ doesn't require version field)
* fix: load Hindsight dashboards in Grafana LGTM
Mount Hindsight dashboard JSON files and custom provisioning config
to make dashboards visible in Grafana.
Changes:
- Mount hindsight-operations.json, hindsight-llm.json, hindsight-api-service.json to /otel-lgtm/
- Create grafana-dashboards.yaml with all dashboard providers (default + Hindsight)
- Mount custom provisioning config to override LGTM default
All 3 Hindsight dashboards now appear in Grafana UI with metrics
from Prometheus scraping the Hindsight API /metrics endpoint.
* fix: configure Prometheus to scrape Hindsight API metrics
Update prometheus.yml to include both OTLP receiver config (from LGTM)
and scrape_configs for pulling metrics from Hindsight API.
Changes:
- Mount prometheus.yml to /otel-lgtm/prometheus.yaml (where LGTM reads it)
- Add scrape_configs section to pull from host.docker.internal:8888/metrics
- Keep OTLP receiver configuration for trace metrics
- Set scrape_interval to 5s
Verified: Prometheus now successfully scrapes hindsight_llm_calls_total
and other Hindsight metrics. Dashboards now show live data!
* feat: add comprehensive tracing for recall and improve reflect/mental_model_refresh spans
- Add recall operation tracing with parent-child span hierarchy
- Parent: hindsight.recall with attributes (bank_id, query, fact_types, etc.)
- Children: recall_embedding, recall_retrieval, recall_fusion, recall_rerank
- Fixed context propagation using start_as_current_span()
- Improve reflect tracing spans
- Remove reflect_generation spans, use reflect instead
- Change done() tool processing to hindsight.reflect_tool_call
- Fix mental_model_refresh span nesting
- Add _skip_span parameter to reflect_async to avoid duplicate hindsight.reflect spans
- Mental model refresh now has clean span hierarchy without nested reflect parent
- Add comprehensive tracing verification tests
- Test span hierarchy and attributes for all operations
- Verify parent-child relationships
- 5 passing tests covering recall, reflect, consolidation, and mental_model_refresh
* refactor: remove redundant is_tracing_enabled() checks
- Remove all is_tracing_enabled() conditional checks before tracing calls
- NoOpTracer/NoOpSpan handle disabled tracing automatically
- Simplify code by always calling tracer methods directly
- Fix NoOpTracer.start_as_current_span() to yield NoOpSpan instead of None
Changes:
- memory_engine.py: Remove 5 is_tracing_enabled checks in recall spans
- agent.py: Remove 2 is_tracing_enabled checks in reflect tool spans
- tracing.py: Fix NoOpTracer context manager to yield proper NoOpSpan
This eliminates ~50 lines of redundant conditional code while maintaining
identical behavior.
* docs: simplify distributed tracing section in monitoring.md
- Make tracing documentation more concise
- Focus on span hierarchy and attributes
- Remove verbose troubleshooting and performance sections
- Keep configuration.md for env vars only
* feat: support for codex and claude-code as llm
* Remove refactoring plan file
* Consolidate Anthropic tests into main LLM provider test suite
- Add Anthropic models (Sonnet, Opus, Haiku) to MODEL_MATRIX
- Remove separate test_anthropic_provider.py file
- All Anthropic models now tested with standard memory operations
* Add provider-specific default models
Each LLM provider now has a sensible default model that's used when
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_MODEL is not explicitly set. This simplifies
configuration - users can specify just the provider and API key.
Changes:
- Add PROVIDER_DEFAULT_MODELS mapping in config.py
- Update config logic to use provider defaults for both global and
per-operation LLM configs
- Add comprehensive tests for provider default model selection
- Document provider defaults in models.md
Example usage:
export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER=anthropic
export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY=sk-ant-xxx
# Automatically uses claude-sonnet-4-20250514
Provider defaults:
- openai: gpt-5-mini
- anthropic: claude-sonnet-4-20250514
- gemini: gemini-2.5-flash
- groq: openai/gpt-oss-120b
- ollama: gemma3:12b
- lmstudio: local-model
- vertexai: gemini-2.0-flash-001
- openai-codex: o3-mini
- claude-code: claude-sonnet-4-20250514
- mock: mock-model
* Update provider default models
- openai: gpt-5-mini -> o3-mini
- anthropic: claude-sonnet-4-20250514 -> claude-haiku-4-5-20251001
- openai-codex: o3-mini -> gpt-5.2-codex
- claude-code: claude-sonnet-4-20250514 -> claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929
Updated tests and documentation to reflect new defaults.
* Move OpenAI Codex and Claude Code setup to models.md
Moved detailed setup instructions for OpenAI Codex and Claude Code from
configuration.md to models.md where they better fit with model-specific
documentation.
Changes:
- Move "OpenAI Codex Setup" section from configuration.md to models.md
- Move "Claude Code Setup" section from configuration.md to models.md
- Add cross-reference tip in configuration.md pointing to models.md
- Update default model in Claude Code example to claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929
- Keep basic provider examples in configuration.md for quick reference
This makes the configuration.md page more focused on environment
variables while models.md contains provider-specific setup details.
