* 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.
