Replace the OpenAI-compatible endpoint approach with the native
google-genai SDK for Vertex AI. This eliminates the custom token
refresher, TokenInjectingTransport, and async lifecycle complexity
while also removing the 8192 output token cap that the OpenAI
endpoint enforced.
Changes:
- vertexai provider now uses genai.Client(vertexai=True) instead of
AsyncOpenAI with token-injecting transport
- Routes through existing _call_gemini/_call_with_tools_gemini paths
- Strips google/ prefix from model names (native SDK uses bare names)
- Preserves service account key auth via credentials parameter
- Delete vertexai_token_refresher.py (no longer needed)
- Strip markdown code fences in consolidator JSON parsing
- Rewrite vertexai tests for native SDK integration
* feat: support vertex as llm provider
* fix
* fix: add uv index-strategy to resolve dependency conflicts with pytorch index
When using pytorch index for faster torch downloads in CI,
filelock dependency resolution was failing because pytorch index
only has older versions. Adding unsafe-best-match strategy allows
uv to search all configured indexes.
Also fix type checking warnings from ty.
* fix: add index-strategy to root pyproject.toml for workspace-level uv resolution
* chore: regenerate client SDKs after Vertex AI support
Tenant schemas were never migrated when new migrations were deployed.
Only the public schema was migrated at startup, and tenant schemas only
got migrations when first provisioned. This meant existing tenants
missed any new columns (e.g. task_payload, worker_id, claimed_at on
async_operations), causing the worker poller to crash silently.
Changes:
- Run migrations on all existing tenant schemas at startup when a
tenant_extension is configured. Each schema migration is wrapped in
try/except so one failure doesn't block others.
- Add try/except in WorkerPoller.recover_own_tasks() so a broken
schema doesn't prevent the polling loop from starting.
- Add try/except in WorkerPoller._claim_batch_for_schema() so a
broken schema doesn't prevent claiming tasks from other schemas.
The worker loaded the tenant extension for the poller (schema discovery)
but did not pass it to MemoryEngine. When execute_task set _current_schema
via the _schema field, _authenticate_tenant would immediately reset it to
"public" because self._tenant_extension was None, causing all worker writes
to land in the public schema instead of the tenant schema.
Move load_extension() before MemoryEngine creation and pass
tenant_extension to the constructor.
The mental_models.id column was changed from UUID to TEXT in migration
u6p7q8r9s0t1, but the exclude_ids filter in search_mental_models still
cast the parameter as ::uuid[]. This caused every search_mental_models
call during reflect to fail with "operator does not exist: text <> uuid",
forcing the reflect agent to waste all 5 iterations on retries and
producing degraded mental model content.

* fix: include correct __version__ in python packages
* fix(embed): force CPU mode for local models in daemon to prevent XPC crashes
Adds HINDSIGHT_API_EMBEDDINGS_LOCAL_FORCE_CPU and HINDSIGHT_API_RERANKER_LOCAL_FORCE_CPU
environment variables to force CPU-only operation for local sentence-transformer models.
This prevents XPC_ERROR_CONNECTION_INVALID crashes on macOS when running in daemon mode.
The issue occurs because PyTorch's MPS (Metal Performance Shaders) backend has unstable
XPC connections in background processes, leading to C++ assertion failures that Python
exception handlers cannot catch.
Changes:
- config.py: Add ENV_*_FORCE_CPU constants and config dataclass fields
- embeddings.py: Add force_cpu parameter to LocalSTEmbeddings constructor
- cross_encoder.py: Add force_cpu parameter to LocalSTCrossEncoder constructor
- main.py: Set force CPU env vars in daemon mode, add fields to config constructor
The daemon mode automatically enables force CPU for both embeddings and reranker,
while normal mode allows hardware acceleration (GPU/MPS) as before.

* fix: add defensive error handling to PyTorch device detection
Wraps all PyTorch device detection code (torch.cuda.is_available()
and torch.backends.mps.is_available()) in try-except blocks that
gracefully fall back to CPU if any errors occur.
This complements PR #218's force_cpu configuration by ensuring the
code works reliably in all environments without configuration:
- CI environments with CPU-only PyTorch builds
- Systems without proper GPU/MPS support
- Partial or misconfigured PyTorch installations
The defensive approach prevents startup failures while still taking
advantage of GPU/MPS acceleration when available and force_cpu is
not explicitly set.
Changes:
- embeddings.py: Added try-except in initialize() and _reinitialize_model_sync()
- cross_encoder.py: Added try-except in initialize() and _reinitialize_model_sync()
* refactor: use get_config() for embeddings and reranker force_cpu
Changes create_embeddings_from_env() and create_cross_encoder_from_env()
to read configuration via get_config() instead of directly accessing
os.environ. This ensures consistency across the codebase and properly
respects the force_cpu configuration set by daemon mode.
Changes:
- embeddings.py: Use config.embeddings_local_model and config.embeddings_local_force_cpu
- cross_encoder.py: Use config.reranker_local_model and config.reranker_local_force_cpu
- Both: Use get_config() for provider, tei_url, and other config fields
- Note: Some fields not in config (like max_concurrent for local reranker) still read from os.environ
This fixes the issue where force_cpu was read inconsistently from environment
variables instead of using the centralized config system.
* test: clear config cache in test_create_from_env
Fixes test failure caused by cached config not picking up
environment variable changes in test. The test now calls
clear_config_cache() before and after patching os.environ
to ensure the factory function reads the test's env vars.
* refactor: add reranker_local_max_concurrent to config system
Adds reranker_local_max_concurrent to HindsightConfig dataclass
and removes the workaround in create_cross_encoder_from_env() that
was reading it directly from os.environ.
Changes:
- config.py: Add reranker_local_max_concurrent field to dataclass and from_env()
- main.py: Add reranker_local_max_concurrent to manual config constructor
- cross_encoder.py: Use config.reranker_local_max_concurrent instead of os.environ
This completes the refactoring to use the centralized config system
for all reranker configuration.

* chore: cleanup benchmarks runner with old flags
* fix tests
* fix: observations rely on source_memory_ids, no link copying
Observations no longer copy any memory_links from their source facts.
Instead, retrieval uses source_memory_ids to traverse:
- Entity connections: observation → source_memory_ids → unit_entities
- Semantic similarity: observations have their own embeddings
- Temporal proximity: observations have their own temporal fields
This avoids data duplication and fixes bidirectionality issues with
entity links being copied to observations.

Background tasks (async retain, consolidation, reflections) fail in
multi-tenant deployments because the worker executes tasks without
setting the tenant schema context. This causes two failures:
1. The cancellation check in execute_task queries public.async_operations
instead of the tenant's schema, finds no row, and skips the task as
"cancelled" — even though it wasn't.
2. Even if that were fixed, _authenticate_tenant would throw
AuthenticationError because background tasks have no API key.
Changes:
- Poller passes task.schema into task_dict so execute_task can set it
- execute_task sets _current_schema before the cancellation check
- Task handlers use RequestContext(internal=True) to signal background ops
- _authenticate_tenant skips extension auth for internal requests when
schema is already set
- BrokerTaskBackend uses schema_getter for dynamic schema resolution
when submitting tasks and waiting for results
- Pass tenant_extension to WorkerPoller in create_app
The graph endpoint's table_rows response was missing three fields that
the control plane UI expects:
- tags: memory unit tags (shown in Tags column)
- created_at: creation timestamp (shown in Created column for mental models)
- proof_count: source memory count (shown in Sources column for mental models)
All three columns exist on the memory_units table but were not being
selected or included in the response.
* Fix: Pass api_key to Hindsight client in litellm integration
The recall(), reflect(), and retain() wrapper functions were creating
Hindsight client instances without passing the api_key from the config.
This caused 401 Unauthorized errors when using hindsight-litellm with
authenticated Hindsight API servers.
Also added api_key parameter to:
- HindsightOpenAI and HindsightAnthropic wrapper classes
- wrap_openai() and wrap_anthropic() functions
* Add sensible defaults for simpler API usage
Make it easier to get started with hindsight-litellm by providing
sensible defaults:
- Default API URL: https://api.hindsight.vectorize.io (production)
- Default bank_id: "default"
- Read api_key from HINDSIGHT_API_KEY environment variable
Now users can simply do:
client = wrap_openai(OpenAI())
With just the HINDSIGHT_API_KEY env var set, and it works.
Also adds comprehensive unit tests for the new defaults behavior.
* Fix test using non-existent 'enabled' parameter in configure()
The test was calling configure(enabled=False) but configure() doesn't
have an enabled parameter. Changed to test is_configured() returns False
when reset_config() has been called.
