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.

* fix: sometimes memories gets extracted in the wrong language
Remove device_map from model_kwargs as it conflicts with CrossEncoder's
internal .to(device) call. The low_cpu_mem_usage=False setting alone is
sufficient to prevent lazy loading (meta tensors).
* fix: prevent meta tensor issues when accelerate is installed without GPU
When accelerate is installed but no GPU is available, transformers can
incorrectly use lazy loading (meta tensors) which fails when
sentence-transformers tries to move the model to a device.
The fix checks hardware and installed packages to determine the right
loading strategy:
- GPU available: device=None, device_map=None (auto-detect GPU)
- No GPU + accelerate: device='cpu', device_map='cpu' (force CPU loading)
- No GPU + no accelerate: device='cpu', device_map=None (normal CPU)

conftest.py, similar to how pg0 database setup is serialized. Models
are now pre-initialized in the fixture before being passed to tests.

JSON format outputs logs with a "severity" field that cloud logging systems
can parse for proper log level categorization. Also writes to stdout instead
of stderr so log levels are correctly interpreted.
