Converts the app from 'dashboard you visit' to 'system that finds you.'
Critical for the phone-first staffing shop that won't open a URL —
the system reaches out when something matters.
Daemon:
- Starts once per Bun process (guarded via globalThis sentinel)
- Default interval 15 min (configurable, min 1, max 1440)
- On each cycle, buildDigest() compares current state against prior
snapshot persisted in mcp-server/data/notification_state.json
- Events detected:
- risk_escalation: role moved to tight or critical (was ok/watch)
- deadline_approaching: staffing window falls within warn window
(default 7 days) AND deadline date differs from prior
- memory_growth: playbook_memory entries grew by >= 5 since last run
Channels (all opt-out individually via config):
- console: always on, logged to journalctl -u lakehouse-agent
- file: always on, appends JSONL to mcp-server/data/notifications.jsonl
- webhook: optional, POSTs {text, digest} to configured URL
(Slack incoming-webhook / Discord webhook / any custom endpoint)
Digest format (human-readable, fits in a Slack message):
LAKEHOUSE DIGEST — 2026-04-20 23:24
3 staffing deadlines within window:
• Production Worker — 2d to 2026-04-23 · demand 724
• Maintenance Tech — 4d to 2026-04-25 · demand 32
• Electrician — 5d to 2026-04-26 · demand 34
+779 new playbooks (total 779, 2204 endorsed names)
snapshot: 0 critical · 0 tight · $275,599,326 pipeline
/alerts page:
- Current status table (daemon state, interval, webhook, last run)
- Config form: enable toggle, interval, deadline warn window, webhook
URL + label (saved to data/notification_config.json)
- 'Fire a test digest now' button — force a cycle without waiting
- Recent digests panel shows the last 10 dispatches with full text
End-to-end verified live:
- Daemon armed successfully on startup
- First-run digest dispatched to console + file in <1s
- Events detected correctly: 3 deadlines within 7 days from real
Chicago permit data; 779 playbook entries surfaced as memory growth
- Digest text format is Slack-pastable
- Dispatch records appear in /alerts recent list
TDZ caveat: startAlertsDaemon() invocation moved to end of module so
all const/let in the alerts block evaluate before daemon reads them.
Previously failed with 'Cannot access X before initialization' when
the call lived near the top of the file. Nav added to all 6 pages:
Dashboard · Walkthrough · Architecture · Spec · Onboard · Alerts.
New /onboard page. Client-facing wizard for getting real data into
the system without engineering help.
Flow:
1. Drop a CSV (or click 'Use the sample as my data' — ships a 25-row
realistic staffing roster under /samples/staffing_roster_sample.csv)
2. Browser parses client-side. Columns auto-typed (text/int/decimal/
date). PII flagged by name hint AND content regex (emails, phones).
First rows previewed. Read-only — nothing written yet.
3. Name the dataset (lowercase+underscores). Commit.
4. Post-commit: dataset is live. Shows 4 next steps the operator can
take (SQL query, vector index, dashboard search, playbook training).
Backend:
- /onboard serves onboard.html
- /samples/*.csv serves CSV files from mcp-server/samples/ with
filename validation (only [a-zA-Z0-9_-.]+.csv, prevents path traversal)
- /onboard/ingest forwards multipart/form-data to gateway /ingest/file
preserving the boundary. The generic /api/* passthrough breaks
multipart because it reads as text and forwards as JSON; this route
uses arrayBuffer + original Content-Type.
Verified end-to-end: upload sample roster (25 rows, 12 columns) →
parse in browser → show columns + PII flags + preview → commit →
gateway writes Parquet, registers in catalog → immediately queryable:
SELECT * FROM onboard_demo2 LIMIT 3
→ Sarah Johnson, Forklift Operator, Chicago, IL, 0.92
Round-trip <1 second.
Nav updated on all pages to link Onboard. Shipped with a sample CSV
so the full flow is demonstrable without real client data.
When a real client shows up, same path — they upload their CSV.
No engineering ticket, no code change, no schema pre-definition.
Security: sample filename regex prevents path traversal. CSV parse
is client-side pure JS (no DOM injection). Commit uses existing
/ingest/file validation (schema fingerprint, PII server-side,
content-hash dedup).
J's ask: explain the full architecture so someone reading a README
can dispute it or recreate it. The repo isn't public yet; this page
IS the spec until it is.
Ch1 Repository layout — 13 crates + tests/multi-agent + docs + data,
with owned responsibility and file path per crate.
Ch2 Data ingest pipeline (8 steps) — sources (file/inbox/DB/cron),
parse+normalize with ADR-010 conservative typing, PII auto-tag,
dedup, Parquet write, catalog register with fingerprint gate,
mark embeddings stale, queryable immediately.
Ch3 Measurement & indexing — row count / fingerprint / owner /
sensitivity / freshness / lineage per dataset. HNSW vs Lance
tradeoff table with measured numbers (ADR-019). Autotune loop.
Per-profile scoping (Phase 17).
Ch4 Contract inference from external signal — Chicago permit feed
→ role mapping → worker count heuristic → timeline → hybrid
search with boost → pattern discovery → rendered card. All
pre-computed before staffer opens UI.
Ch5 What a CRM can't do — 11-row comparison table of capabilities.
Ch6 How it gets better over time — three paths:
- Phase 19 playbook boost (full math)
- Pattern discovery meta-index
- Autotune agent
Ch7 Scale story: 20 staffers, 300 contracts, midday +20/+1M surge
- Async gateway + per-staffer profile isolation + client blacklists
- 7-step surge handling flow (ingest, stale-mark, incremental refresh,
degradation, hot-swap, autotune re-enter)
- Known pain points: Ollama inference serial, RAM ceiling ~5M on
HNSW (mitigated by Lance), VRAM 1-2 models sequential,
playbook_memory unbounded.
Ch8 Error surfaces & recovery — 10-row table covering ingest schema
conflicts, bucket failures, ghost names, dual-agent drift,
empty searches, Ollama down, gateway restart, schema fingerprint
divergence. Every failure has a named surface and recovery path.
Ch9 Per-staffer context — active profile, workspace, client blacklist,
audit trail, daily summary. How 20 staffers don't see the same UI.
Ch10 Day in the life — 07:00 housekeeping → 07:30 refresh → 08:00
staffer opens → 08:15 drill down → 08:30 Call click → 09:00
second staffer shares memory → 12:30 surge → 14:00 no-show →
15:00 new embeddings live → 17:00 retrospective → 22:00
overnight trials.
Ch11 Known limits & non-goals — deferred (rate/margin, push, confidence
calibration, neural re-ranker, pm compaction, call_log cross-ref)
and explicitly out-of-scope (cloud, ACID, streaming, CRM replace,
proprietary formats, hard multi-tenant).
Also: nav updated on /dashboard, /console, /proof to link /spec.
Every architectural claim in the spec cites either a code path, an
ADR number, or a phase reference so someone skeptical can target
the specific artifact.
Old console was a chat playground. New console is a guided,
chapter-based explanation that a non-technical staffing staffer
can read top-down and finish convinced — without needing to
understand any of the underlying technology.
Six chapters, each loading live data:
1. Right now, this system is already thinking
Four stats cards pulled live: construction pipeline $, predicted
worker demand, rows under management, playbooks remembered. Then
a narrative that names the current alert posture (critical/tight/ok).
2. The demand signal is real, not made up
Expandable rows per Chicago permit work_type, with a direct link to
data.cityofchicago.org for verification. Pill labeled LIVE ·
DATA.CITYOFCHICAGO.ORG leaves no ambiguity.
3. Where your own data would live
Catalog enumerated with three pill classes:
- SWAP FOR YOUR DATA (purple) — the synthetic tables that would
be replaced by the client's ATS/CRM/call-log exports
- SYSTEM-GENERATED (blue) — playbook memory, threat_intel, kb_*
produced by the system itself
Row counts + columns visible. Names it honestly.
4. Watch the system rank candidates in real time
Takes the freshest Chicago permit, walks the staffer through all
three steps (derive need → narrow via SQL → rank + boost), shows
the top-5 workers with why, boost chip, memory chip, timeline,
and a plain-English narrative of the CRM gap.
5. Every action compounds
Playbook memory count + sample + narrative about what it means
when the staffer logs a fill.
6. Try it yourself
Free-text input hitting /intelligence/chat, renders response
with memory chip + boost chips + ranked workers.
Security: all API-derived strings go through textContent or
el(tag,cls,text) helper. Zero innerHTML usage on dynamic content.
Passes security reminder hook.
File size: 419 → ~500 lines. Visual style matches the dashboard
(same palette, typography, chip styles) so the two pages feel
like one app.
J's ask: move the system from retrospective ranking to predictive
anticipation. Show it tracks the clock, not just the roster.
New endpoint /intelligence/staffing_forecast:
- Pulls 30-day Chicago permit window (200 permits)
- Maps work_type → role via industry heuristic
- Aggregates predicted worker demand per role
- Joins IL bench supply (workers_500k state='IL' group by role)
- Computes coverage_pct, reliable_coverage_pct
- Classifies risk: critical/tight/watch/ok
- Computes earliest staffing deadline per role
(permit issue_date + 31d = 45d construction start - 14d window)
- Surfaces recent Chicago playbook ops for the role-specific memory
New UI 'Staffing Forecast' section ABOVE Live Contracts:
- Top card: total construction value, permit count, workers needed,
critical/tight role count
- Per-role rows: demand vs available supply, coverage %, deadline
with red/amber/green urgency coloring
Per-contract timeline on Live Contracts:
- estimated_construction_start, staffing_window_opens, days_to_deadline
- urgency classification: overdue/urgent/soon/scheduled
- card border colored by urgency
- timeline line explicitly shows recruiter: OVERDUE/URGENT + days count
This is the 'system already thinks about when, not just who' surface
J was asking for. CRMs store; this anticipates.
Closing trust-breaks surfaced in the strategic audit.
A — MEMORY chip renders even when sparse:
Previously rendered nothing when no trait crossed threshold, which
recruiters would read as "system has no signal." Now explicitly
says "memory is sparse for this role+geo — no trait crossed
threshold" or "no similar past playbooks yet — first fill of this
kind will seed it." Honest when it doesn't know.
B — Removed /intelligence/learn dead endpoint:
Legacy CSV-writer path that destructively re-wrote
successful_playbooks. /log and /log_failure replace it cleanly.
Leaving dead code confuses future maintainers.
C — Narrative tooltips on Endorsed chips:
Hovering the green "Endorsed · N playbooks" chip now fetches
the worker's past operations from successful_playbooks_live and
shows a story: "Maria — past endorsements: • Welder x2 in
Toledo (2026-04-15), • Welder x1 in Toledo (2026-04-18)..."
Falls back to honest "narrative unavailable" if the seed
didn't land in SQL.
D — call_log infrastructure in worker modal:
New "Recent Contact" section queries call_log JOIN candidates by
name. Surfaces last 3 call entries with timestamp, recruiter,
disposition, duration. When empty (which is today's reality —
candidates table only has 1000 rows vs call_log's higher IDs),
shows an honest message about the data gap and what real ATS
integration would unlock.
Honest call: D ships infrastructure. Actual utility depends on
aligning candidate IDs between the candidates table and
call_log — current synthetic data doesn't cross-ref cleanly.
When real ATS data lands, this section becomes the
"system knows who we called yesterday" feature the recruiter
needs.
Deferred (would require a dedicated session):
- Rate awareness (needs worker pay_rate + contract bill_rate)
- Push / background daemon (Slack/SMS/email integration)
- Confidence calibration (needs a probabilistic ranking layer)
Click any worker card → modal now includes a 'Past Playbooks' section
that queries successful_playbooks_live for any row where this worker's
name appears in the result field. Shows up to 8 most recent with
operation, timestamp, approach, and context.
When empty: 'No prior playbooks for NAME yet. First placement builds
the first entry.' — makes the institutional-memory claim visible to
the recruiter: the system is tracking everyone, not just the ones
that sealed this session.
Also added Call / SMS / No-show buttons to the modal action row
(matching the card-level buttons from #1). Every worker-card path
now trains the system.
Closes the user-visible side of Phase 19 — patterns surface during
search (Pass A), boosts fire in ranking (Phase 19 core), and now
the worker's own profile shows the full history that informs those
boosts. Institutional memory legibility, per J's ask.
New endpoints:
- POST /clients/:client/blacklist { worker_id, name?, reason? }
- GET /clients/:client/blacklist → { client, entries }
- DELETE /clients/:client/blacklist/:worker_id → { removed, total }
Bun /search accepts optional `client` field. When present, loads that
client's blacklist and appends `AND worker_id NOT IN (...)` to the
SQL filter. Zero-cost if unused; clean trust-break avoidance when a
client has previously flagged a worker.
Persistence: mcp-server/data/client_blacklists.json, synchronous
writes via Bun.write. Scale target is hundreds of entries per client
tops — JSON is fine until we hit 10K+ per client.
Verified: worker_id 9326 (Carmen Green) blacklisted for AcmeCorp,
same Chicago Electrician search with client=AcmeCorp returns 196
sql_matches vs 197 without — exactly one excluded.
Every worker-card button in the dashboard now trains the Phase 19
system directly:
- Call → POST /log (seeds playbook_memory + persists SQL)
- SMS → POST /log (same — both count as positive engagement)
- No-show → POST /log_failure (per-worker penalty 0.5^n on future boost)
Buttons flash status (Logged / Flagged / Ghost) for 1.4s on success,
then re-enable. Operation string derived from the worker's role +
city/state parsed from their loc field. The worker's ghost-name
guard on both endpoints ensures nothing invalid lands in memory.
Before: Call/SMS hit a legacy /intelligence/learn CSV write that
didn't affect ranking. No failure capture existed.
Now: recruiter using the app IS the training signal. Tested
end-to-end — pm_entries grew 203 → 391 from a single session of
logged actions.
A — Patterns surface in main Worker Search:
/intelligence/chat smart_search fallback now calls /patterns in
parallel with hybrid, returns discovered_pattern + matched count.
search.html doSearch renders a green "MEMORY (N playbooks): ..."
chip above results so every recruiter query shows the meta-index
dimension, not just live-contract cards.
B — Compounding proven and default-k bumped:
Direct compounding test on Chicago Electrician:
- Run 0 (no seeds): Carmen Green not in top-5, boost 0
- After 3 seeds of identical operation: boost +0.250 (capped),
3 citations, lifted to #1. Each seed adds 1 citation. Cap
prevents one worker from dominating future searches.
- Required k=200 (not 25 or 50) — embedding band is narrow
(cosines 0.55-0.67 across all playbooks regardless of geo).
- Bumped defaults on /search, permit_contracts, and smart_search
to playbook_memory_k=200. Brute-force sub-ms at this scale.
New devop.live/lakehouse section pairs live public Chicago building
permits with derived staffing contracts, ranked candidates from the
500K worker bench, and meta-index discovered patterns per role+geo.
Makes the Phase 19 boost + Path 2 pattern discovery visible on real
external data, without needing a paying client to demo.
Backend:
- New /intelligence/permit_contracts endpoint
- Fetches 6 recent Chicago permits > $250K from the Socrata API
- Derives proposed fill: 1 worker per $150K of permit value (capped 2-8)
- For each: /vectors/hybrid with use_playbook_memory=true,
playbook_memory_k=25, auto availability>0.5 filter
- For each: /vectors/playbook_memory/patterns with k=25 min_freq=0.3
- Returns permit + proposed contract + top 5 candidates with boosts
and citations + discovered pattern + pattern_matched count
Frontend:
- New "Live Contracts" section on search.html between today's sim
contracts and Market Intelligence
- Per-permit card: cost + work_type + address + proposed role/count
+ pool size + top 3 candidates (with endorsement chip when boost
fires) + memory-derived pattern ("MEMORY (N playbooks): recurring
certifications: OSHA-10 47%, Forklift... · archetype mostly: ...")
Real working demo even without paying clients: shows the system
operating on genuinely external data with our synthetic-data-derived
learning applied.
parseAction now strips stray `)` before `}` and trailing commas —
qwen2.5 emits those regularly on tool_call outputs; soft-fix beats
retry-loops. hybrid_search no longer hard-requires `question`; defaults
to "qualified available workers" when the model drops it (mistral's
most common failure mode on complex events).
Kept original TOOL_CATALOG shape (args examples only, not full
action envelopes). The verbose few-shot version from the prior
iteration confused mistral into wrapping propose_done as tool_call.
Scenario V7 result: expansion (5 Forklift Ops) and emergency
(4 Loaders) — previously-failing complex events — now seal reliably.
Pool sizes: 687 and 380 from 500K corpus. Patterns endpoint produces
real operator-actionable signals:
expansion: "recurring certifications: Forklift (40%), OSHA-10 (40%)
· recurring skills: mill (40%) · archetype mostly: leader
· reliability median 0.83"
Baseline + recurring are now flaky (inverted trade-off, pure
model-reliability variance).
Upgrades to tests/multi-agent/scenario.ts to exercise the full Path 1+2
feature set on a real warehouse-client week (5 events on one client):
- Hard SCHEMA ENFORCEMENT block in every event's guidance. Prior runs
had mistral read narrative words ("shift", "recurring", "expansion")
as SQL column names. Schema is now locked explicitly with valid
columns listed and CAST guidance for availability + reliability.
- playbook_memory_k bumped 10 → 100 to match server default.
- Canonical short seed text (operation + "{kind} fill via hybrid
search" + "{role} fill in {city}, {state}"). Verbose LLM rationales
dilute embeddings and silently kill boost (Pass 1 finding).
- /vectors/playbook_memory/mark_failed fires automatically on
misplacement events — records the no-shower's failure so future
searches for same city+role dampen their boost.
- /vectors/playbook_memory/patterns call per event — surfaces what the
meta-index discovered (recurring certs/skills/archetype/reliability)
for that query into the dispatch log and retrospective.
- Retrospective now includes a workers-touched audit table (every
worker who reached a decision, with outcome column) and a
discovered-patterns-evolution section across events.
Honest limitations this surfaced in the real run:
- mistral's executor prompt-adherence degrades on high-count events
(5+ fills) and scenario-specific language (emergency/misplacement).
3 of 5 events aborted via drift guard. Baseline + recurring sealed
cleanly with real fills + SMS + emails + seeded playbooks.
- worker_id resolution returns "undefined" for some names when name
matching is ambiguous in workers_500k (multiple workers with same
name in same city).
New:
- /vectors/playbook_memory/patterns: meta-index pattern discovery.
Given a query, finds top-K similar playbooks, pulls each endorsed
worker's full workers_500k profile, aggregates shared traits (cert
frequencies, skill frequencies, modal archetype, reliability
distribution), returns a human-readable discovered_pattern. Surfaces
signals operators didn't explicitly query — the original PRD's
"identify things we didn't know" dimension.
- /vectors/playbook_memory/mark_failed: records worker failures per
(city, state, name). compute_boost_for applies 0.5^n penalty per
recorded failure, so 3 failures quarter a worker's positive boost and
5 effectively zero it. Path 1 negative signal — recruiter trust
depends on the system NOT recommending people who no-showed.
- Bun /log_failure: validates failed_names against workers_500k
(same ghost-guard as /log), forwards to /mark_failed.
Improved:
- /log now validates endorsed_names against workers_500k for the
contract's city+state before seeding. Ghost names (names that don't
correspond to real workers) are rejected in the response and excluded
from the seed, preventing silent boost failures.
- Bun /search auto-appends `CAST(availability AS DOUBLE) > 0.5` to
sql_filter when the caller didn't constrain availability. Opt out
with `include_unavailable: true`. Recruiter trust bug: surfacing
already-placed workers breaks the first call.
- DEFAULT_TOP_K_PLAYBOOKS 25 → 100. Direct cosine measurement showed
similarities cluster 0.55-0.67 across all playbooks regardless of
geo, so k=25 missed relevant geo-matched playbooks. Brute-force is
still sub-ms at this size.
Verified end-to-end on live data:
- Ghost names rejected on /log + /log_failure
- Availability filter drops unavailable workers from candidate pool
- Pattern discovery on unseen Cleveland OH Welder query returned
recurring skills (first aid 43%, grinder 43%, blueprint 43%) and
modal archetype (specialist) across 20 semantically similar past
playbooks in 0.24s
- Negative signal: Helen Sanchez boost dropped +0.250 → +0.163 after
3 failures recorded via /log_failure (34% reduction)
Two gap-fills surfaced by the real test on 2026-04-20:
1. /log no longer seeds endorsed_names that don't exist in workers_500k
for the contract's (city, state). Previously accepted ghost names
silently (entry count grew, SQL row landed, but boost never fired
because no real worker chunk matched the stored tuple). Response now
reports rejected_ghost_names and explains why seeding was skipped.
2. Bun /search auto-appends `CAST(availability AS DOUBLE) > 0.5` to
sql_filter when the caller didn't constrain availability themselves.
Recruiters expect "available workers" by default — surfacing someone
on an active placement would break trust on first contact.
Opt out with `include_unavailable: true`.
Verified: ghost names rejected end-to-end, real names accepted, mixed
input handled correctly. Availability filter drops ~10 workers from a
305-row Cleveland OH Welder pool to 295 actually-available.
Backend:
- crates/vectord/src/playbook_memory.rs (new): Phase 19 in-memory boost
store with seed/rebuild/snapshot, plus temporal decay (e^-age/30 per
playbook), persist_to_sql endpoint backing successful_playbooks_live,
and discover_patterns endpoint for meta-index pattern aggregation
(recurring certs/skills/archetype/reliability across similar past fills).
- DEFAULT_TOP_K_PLAYBOOKS bumped 5 → 25; old default silently missed
most boosts when memory had > 25 entries.
- service.rs: new routes /vectors/playbook_memory/{seed,rebuild,stats,
persist_sql,patterns}.
Bun staffing co-pilot (mcp-server/):
- /search, /match, /verify, /proof, /simulation/run, MCP tools all
forward use_playbook_memory:true and playbook_memory_k:25 to the
hybrid endpoint. Boost was previously dark across the entire app.
- /log no longer POSTs to /ingest/file — that endpoint REPLACES the
dataset's object list, so single-row CSV writes were wiping all prior
rows in successful_playbooks (sp_rows went 33→1 in one /log call).
/log now seeds playbook_memory with canonical short text and calls
/persist_sql to keep successful_playbooks_live in sync.
- /simulation/run cumulative end-of-week CSV write removed for the same
reason. Per-day per-contract /seed (added in this session) is the
accumulating feedback path now.
- search.html addWorkerInsight renders a green "Endorsed · N playbooks"
chip with playbook citations when boost > 0.
Internal Dioxus UI (crates/ui/):
- Dashboard phase list rewritten through Phase 19 (was stuck at "Phase
16: File Watcher" / "Phase 17: DB Connector" — both wrong).
- Removed fabricated "27ms" stat label.
- Ask tab examples + SQL default replaced with real staffing prompts
against candidates/clients/job_orders (was referencing nonexistent
employees/products/events).
- New Playbook tab exposes /vectors/playbook_memory/{stats,rebuild} and
side-by-side hybrid search (boost OFF vs ON) with citations.
Tests (tests/multi-agent/):
- run_e2e_rated.ts: parallel two-agent (mistral + qwen2.5) build phase
+ verifier rating (geo, auth, persist, boost, speed → /10).
- network_proving.ts: continuous build → verify → repeat with
staffing-recruiter profile hot-swap; geo-discrimination check.
- chain_of_custody.ts: single recruiter operation traced through every
layer (Bun /search, direct /vectors/hybrid parity, /log, SQL,
playbook_memory growth, profile activation, post-op boost lift).
- Replaced amateur CSS with professional dark theme (Inter font, muted palette,
proper spacing, consistent border radius, hover states, transitions)
- Nav bar with Dashboard/Intelligence Console/Architecture tabs
- Urgent pipeline: shows contracts directly, removed busy step indicators
- In Progress + Ready to Go: collapsed by default with expand toggle
(page went from 30+ visible contract cards to just the urgents)
- Workers Available: limited to 5 instead of 8
- Proper section headers with labels and metadata
- Search section always visible with better placeholder text
- Professional footer with product branding
- Responsive breakpoints for mobile (768px, 480px)
- Page is now ~50% shorter with same information density

/intelligence/market pulls real permit data from Chicago Open Data API:
- $9.6B in active construction permits
- O'Hare expansion ($730M), new casino ($580M), transit station ($445M)
- Maps permit types to staffing roles (electrical→Electrician, masonry→Loader)
- Cross-references with our IL worker bench to show coverage gaps
- Electrician gap: only 1,036 reliable vs 63K estimated demand
Datalake page now shows three intelligence layers:
1. Contract simulation with scenario-driven matching
2. Market Intelligence with live permit data + bench analysis
3. System Learning with fill history and detected patterns
The staffing company sees demand forming before the phone rings.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Each simulation fill now logs: role, headcount, city, state, workers matched,
client, start time, and scenario type. One page refresh = ~20 playbook entries.
4 refreshes = 28 entries with patterns already forming.
Fixed activity counters: shows Contract Fills, Searches, and Patterns.
Activity feed now shows the actual fill data with worker names and scenarios.
This is the PRD's learning loop in action — the system records every
successful match so future queries can learn from past decisions.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Learning Loop:
- /intelligence/learn endpoint logs search→selection as playbook entry
- /intelligence/activity returns learning stats, patterns, and recent activity
- Call/SMS buttons trigger logSelection() — records what query led to what pick
- "System Learning" card on main page shows searches logged, patterns detected,
and recent activity feed with timestamps
- Every search-selection pair becomes institutional knowledge stored in the lakehouse
Smart Search on Main Page:
- doSearch() now routes through /intelligence/chat (smart NL parser)
- Extracts role, city, state, availability, reliability from natural language
- Shows understanding tags so staffer sees what the system parsed
- Returns workers with ZIP codes, availability %, reliability %, archetype
- "reliable forklift operator available in Nashville" → 10 Nashville forklift
operators with ZIP codes, all 86-98% reliable, all available — 372ms
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
"find me a warehouse worker available today near Nashville" now:
- Parses: role=warehouse, city=Nashville, available=true
- Builds SQL: role LIKE '%warehouse%' AND city='Nashville' AND availability>0.5
- Returns: 12 Nashville warehouse workers with ZIP codes, availability %,
reliability %, skills, certs, and archetype
- Shows understanding tags so user sees what the system parsed
- 414ms, 12 records — not a generic search, a targeted answer
Recognizes 20 role keywords, 40+ cities, 10 states, availability/reliability
signals from natural language. Falls through to vector search for anything
the parser doesn't catch.

- Comeback Watch: 15K improving workers who crossed 80% reliability
- Risk Watch: 5K erratic + 5K silent workers flagged automatically
- Ready & Waiting: available + reliable workers to call first
- Role Supply: 20 roles with supply/available/reliability
Conversational Chat with 5 intelligent routes:
- "Find someone like [Name] but in OH" → vector similarity search
- "Who could handle industrial electrical work?" → semantic role discovery
(finds workers for roles that DON'T EXIST in the database)
- "What if we lose our top 5 forklift operators?" → scenario analysis
with risk rating, bench depth, state-by-state breakdown
- "Which workers should we stop placing?" → risk flagging
- Default: hybrid SQL+vector search with LLM summary
Every response shows: query steps, records scanned, response time.
Transparency kills the "AI is making it up" argument.

- loadDay() now runs simulation first, extracts unfilled roles/states, then
builds SQL queries filtered to what's actually needed today
- "Workers Available for Today's Open Contracts" replaces generic top-5 list
- Each worker shows which gap they fill: "Could fill 4 open Loader spots"
- Bench Strength section scoped to states with active contracts + open slot counts
- Every refresh produces different workers because contracts change each time
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Simulation now uses weighted random selection across 4 priority tiers:
- Urgent (walkoff, quarantine, no-show), High (new client, cert expiry, expansion),
Medium (recurring, seasonal, medical leave, cross-train), Low (future, exploratory)
- Color-coded scenario banners on ALL contracts, not just urgent
- Each scenario carries context (note) + recommended action
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Urgent contracts now show:
- Red banner with specific reason: 'Client called last night',
'Emergency coverage — 2 no-shows reported', 'Production surge',
'Original crew cancelled', etc.
- Action line: 'Need 3 more workers — see suggested replacements below'
or 'All positions matched — confirm and send shift details now'
- When unfilled: yellow action box with numbered steps:
'1. Call the workers above, 2. If someone declines the backup
is ready, 3. Expand search to nearby states'
- FIRST CHOICE worker highlighted with red border
- BACKUP workers labeled and shown after the required headcount
The staffer doesn't see a red circle and wonder. They see:
'Emergency coverage — 2 no-shows. Need 3 more. Here are your
options. Call this person first. If they can't, here's the backup.'

Click any worker avatar/card → scrollable modal with:
- Rich profiles: reliability/availability bars with explanations,
skill tags, cert badges, archetype with description, work history,
Call/SMS action buttons
- Sparse profiles: trust path showing 'You are here' → progression
to full profile through normal operations
- Modal scrolls independently, background locked
- Close via X button or click outside
Each archetype has a plain-English description:
reliable: 'Consistently shows up, clients request them back'
leader: 'Takes initiative, helps train others'
erratic: 'Inconsistent attendance, needs monitoring'
etc.
Work history shows recent placements and cert renewals.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Urgent contracts now show a 4-step action plan:
Step 1 (red): Review pre-matched workers
Step 2 (yellow): Call first choice — highest match score
Step 3 (blue): Confirm or replace — backup is ready
Step 4 (green): Send shift details to confirmed workers
First-choice worker highlighted with red border + label.
Backup workers shown with dimmed styling + 'BACKUP' label.
Urgent cards show ALL matched workers + backups (not just 3).
Non-urgent contracts split into 'In Progress' (still filling)
and 'Ready to Go' (fully staffed) sections.
The staffer doesn't stare at a red label wondering what to do.
They follow the steps: review, call, confirm, send. Done.

Added 'How This Actually Works' section below the proof page:
1. CRM vs Lakehouse side-by-side — what's different in plain English
2. Your Data Never Leaves — local AI, local storage, your hardware
3. How It Handles Scale — HNSW (RAM, 1ms) + Lance (disk, 5ms at 10M)
4. Hot-Swap Profiles — 4 AI models explained by what they DO
5. Starting From Scratch — Day 1 → Week 1 → Month 1 trust path
'You don't need rich profiles to start' with numbered steps
6. What the System Remembers — playbooks as institutional memory
'doesn't retire, doesn't forget'
7. Measured Not Promised — table of real numbers with plain English
Addresses the legacy company pushback: explains WHY the architecture
matters, HOW sparse data becomes rich data over time, and that
everything runs on hardware they own with zero cloud dependency.

Complete rebuild around 'how did it know that?' moments:
1. NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION — urgent contracts with pre-matched workers.
Each worker shows WHY they were matched: 'Reliable (85%) ·
Certified: OSHA-10 · Same city as job site'
2. READY TO CONFIRM — fully matched contracts, just review and send
3. YOUR STRONGEST WORKERS — 95%+ reliability, 'they rarely
no-show and clients request them back'
4. BENCH STRENGTH ALERT — states with thin reliable worker pools,
'consider recruiting in these areas'
Every section has: a label (ACTION NEEDED/READY/INSIGHT/HEADS UP),
a headline in plain English, an explanation of HOW the system
knows this, and actionable workers with Call/SMS buttons.
This is what a CRM has never done: anticipate, explain, recommend.
The staffer doesn't search — they respond to intelligence.

The simulation was only storing name/doc_id/score but dropping
chunk_text. Worker cards showed 'New — data builds with placements'
for every worker. Now includes the full profile text so cards render
skills (blue), certs (green), archetype (purple), and reliability/
availability meters.
Verified via Playwright: cards now show DeShawn Cook with 6S|Excel|SAP
skills, First Aid/CPR cert, flexible archetype, 72% reliability.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Worker cards now handle sparse-to-rich data gracefully:
- Name only? Shows name + 'New — data builds with placements'
- Name + role? Shows name + role tag
- Name + role + skills + certs? Shows full tag row
- Has reliability data? Shows colored meter bars
- No metrics? No empty bars, no 0% — just what's there
Contract cards: urgency dot, progress bar, fill count.
Workers inside: avatar initials, name, role, location, skill/cert
tags (blue/green), archetype (purple), reliability/availability
bars — all ONLY when data exists.
GitHub-style dark theme. Call/SMS per worker. Search collapsed.
ADR-021 compliant: works with a name and earns everything else.

The staffing company said: 'we don't have any of that data.'
They're right. We showed a demo with 18-field profiles and they
have a name and a phone number.
This ADR documents the trust path:
Phase 1 (Day 1): Work with name + phone + role. That's enough.
Phase 2 (Week 1-4): Timesheets → reliability. Calls → history.
Phase 3 (Month 2+): AI starts helping with real earned data.
Key principles:
- Never show empty fields or 0% bars
- Show what's THERE, not what's missing
- Trust indicators: 'based on 3 placements' not just 'Reliability: 87%'
- The system earns data by being useful, not by demanding it upfront
Also created sparse_workers dataset (200 workers, 74% have role,
34% have notes, 5 have ONLY name+phone) for realistic testing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Each worker in a contract card now shows:
- Initials avatar (color-coded)
- Name + location on same line
- Skill tags (blue pills, top 3 relevant)
- Cert badges (green pills — OSHA, Forklift, Hazmat)
- Archetype tag (purple — reliable, leader, etc)
- Reliability bar with color (green >80%, yellow >50%, red <50%)
- Availability bar with color
- Individual Call/SMS buttons per worker
Contract headers show:
- Urgency dot (red/yellow/blue/green)
- Client name, role × headcount, location, start time
- Progress bar with fill count
GitHub-style dark theme. Every piece of info visible at a glance
without clicking anything. The staffer sees skills, certs, and
reliability for every matched worker the moment the page loads.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Not a CRM search page. A staffing workstation:
Top: Pipeline showing urgent/filling/total/filled at a glance
Main: Contract cards sorted by urgency — each shows:
- Client, role, headcount, start time
- Pre-matched workers with names and AI fit scores
- Call All / Send SMS / Find More action buttons
- Unfilled contracts at top, filled at bottom
- 'Find More' opens search pre-filled with that contract's role
Right sidebar:
- Alerts: erratic workers, expiring certs, system status
- Recent communications: who confirmed, who's pending
- Quick stats: total workers, reliable count, coverage
The search is there but collapsed — it's a tool, not the focus.
When they open the page, their day is already organized.
This is what the CRM doesn't do: anticipate, pre-match, organize.
The staffer's expertise is in relationships and judgment calls —
this handles the data mining so they can focus on that.

Replaced complex dashboard with minimal search.html:
- No external JS/CSS files, no transpilation, no module imports
- Plain JS with .then() chains (no async/await compat issues)
- DOM-only rendering via createElement (no innerHTML with data)
- 20s AbortController timeout so fetch never hangs
- Detects /lakehouse/ proxy prefix automatically
- 7KB total, loads in 18ms
Calls lakehouse /vectors/hybrid directly — SQL filters always apply,
works even when HNSW isn't loaded (brute-force fallback).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The search hung because pure AI mode calls HNSW which is RAM-only —
gone after every lakehouse restart. Now ALL AI/hybrid searches go
through the /search endpoint which uses brute-force when HNSW isn't
loaded. Added 15s AbortController timeout so fetch never hangs.
Added window.onerror handler to show JS errors on page.

All gateway endpoints pointed to ethereal_workers_v1 (10K, W- prefix)
instead of workers_500k_v1 (50K, W500K- prefix). Filters appeared
broken because the vector results came from the wrong dataset —
IDs matched numerically but belonged to different workers.
Now: every search, match, and hybrid call uses workers_500k_v1.
Verified: 'experienced welder' + state=OH + role=Welder returns
5 Welders in OH (Carmen Perry, Janet White, Rachel Miller, etc).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The bug: selecting a state filter in AI Search mode did nothing
because HNSW vector search has no concept of SQL WHERE clauses.
Results came back from any state.
The fix: when ANY filter is set (state, role, or reliability > 0.5),
the search automatically switches to hybrid mode which runs the SQL
filter first, then AI-ranks within the filtered set. Users don't
need to know about modes — filters just work.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Rebuilt the dashboard into a live search interface anyone can use:
- Big search box: type in plain English, hit Enter or click Search
- 3 modes: AI Search, CRM Keyword, Hybrid (best)
- Clickable examples: 'warehouse help', 'dependable machine operator', etc
- Filters: state, role, min reliability
- Results show: name, role, location, skills, certs, reliability, AI match score
- Hybrid results marked 'SQL verified against database'
- CRM mode shows 0 results with a prompt to try AI Search
- Mobile responsive
This is the answer to 'we just have to take your word for it.'
Type anything. See real workers. Compare CRM vs AI side by side.

dashboard.ts now checks if running behind the nginx proxy (path

3 live demo searches run on page load against 500K real profiles:
'warehouse help' — CRM: 0, AI: finds Forklift Ops + Loaders
'someone good with machines who is dependable' — CRM: 0, AI: finds Machine Ops
'safety trained worker for chemical plant' — CRM: 0, AI: finds OSHA+Hazmat workers
Each shows the actual CRM keyword count (LIKE match) next to the AI
vector results with real worker names, roles, and cities. Not
described — demonstrated. The numbers come from queries that run
when the page loads.

Rebuilt the page to address a staffing coordinator who's tired of
learning new tools. Opens with "Your Morning Just Got Easier" and
a side-by-side: their current 45-minute routine vs 5 minutes with
pre-matched workers.
Key messaging:
- "This isn't another CRM to learn"
- "We know what your day looks like" (checklist they'll recognize)
- Shows real matched workers WITH names, not abstract metrics
- "It understands what you mean" — warehouse help finds forklift ops
- "It already filtered the junk" — only workers worth calling
- "It runs on YOUR machine" — no cloud, no fees, no data leaving
Technical proof pushed below a divider for the skeptical team.
The staffer sees their contracts and their workers first.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Rebuilt /proof to highlight the actual differentiator:
- Section 01: "What a CRM Does" — SQL keyword search, every CRM has this
- Section 02: "What AI + Vectors Do" — semantic understanding.
Side-by-side: CRM finds 0 results for "warehouse work" because no
profile contains that exact text. AI finds 5 verified workers because
it understands Forklift Operator + Loader = warehouse work.
- Section 03: 673K vectorized chunks, 98% recall, 10M at 5ms
- Section 04: Local GPU, 4 models, no cloud, no API fees
The point: this isn't another CRM search. It's an intelligence layer
that understands MEANING — and it runs entirely on your hardware.

THE REAL PROBLEM: Every new data source produces different doc_id
prefixes in vector indexes (W-, W500K-, W5K-, CAND-). Hybrid search
had to hardcode strip_prefix for each one. New datasets broke hybrid
until someone added another prefix. This violates "any data source
without pre-defined schemas."
THE FIX: IndexMeta.id_prefix — the catalog records what prefix each
index uses. Hybrid search reads it and strips automatically. Legacy
indexes fall back to heuristic stripping. New indexes can set
id_prefix=None to use raw IDs (no prefix, no stripping needed).
This means: ingest a new dataset, embed it, hybrid search works
immediately without code changes. The system is truly source-agnostic.
Also: full ADR document at docs/ADR-020-universal-id-mapping.md
with the three options considered and rationale for the chosen approach.

ROOT CAUSE: Python scripts polled status.get("processed", 0) but the
Rust Job struct serialized as "embedded_chunks". Scripts always saw 0,
looped forever printing "unknown: 0/50000" for 8+ hours.
Fix (both sides):
- Rust: added "processed" alias field + "total" field to Job struct,
kept in sync on every update_progress() and complete() call
- Python: fixed autonomous_agent.py and overnight_proof.sh to read
"embedded_chunks" as primary key
The actual embedding pipeline was working the whole time — 673K real
chunks embedded overnight. Only the monitoring was blind.
One-word bug, 8 hours of zombie output. This is why you test the
monitoring, not just the pipeline.

5,000 workers embedded through nomic-embed-text (real, not random).
Results on REAL embeddings:
HNSW recall@10: 1.0000 p50: 762us — PERFECT
Lance recall@10: 0.9500 p50: 6.8ms — better than random vectors
SQL autonomous: 50/50 (100%)
Key finding: real embeddings IMPROVE Lance recall (0.95 vs 0.80 on
random vectors) because real text embeddings cluster by topic, making
IVF partitions more effective. The concern about degraded recall on
real data was wrong — it's the opposite.
Also discovered: the 50K embedding job DID complete (50K chunks in
234s) but the job progress tracker showed 0/0. The supervisor's
progress reporting has a bug — the actual embedding pipeline works.
Known remaining issue: hybrid search ID matching between workers_500k
(worker_id format) and vector index (W5K-{id} format) needs the
prefix stripping fix applied to the new index.

Runs autonomously via cron (every 3 min, state machine):
1. Embed 500K workers through Ollama nomic-embed-text (~40 min)
Real embeddings, not random vectors. This is what matters.
2. Build HNSW + Lance IVF_PQ on real clustered data
3. Measure recall — HNSW vs Lance on real embeddings
4. 100 autonomous operations — local model only, no human steering
Mix: 50 matches + 25 counts + 15 aggregates + 10 lookups
5. 30 min sustained load — 10 concurrent ops/sec continuously
Currently running: Step 1 active, GPU at 43%, Ollama embedding.
Monitor: tail -f /home/profit/lakehouse/logs/overnight_proof.log
Check: cat /tmp/overnight_proof_state
This is the test that proves it's not just architecture — it's
real embeddings, real models, real sustained load, no hand-holding.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
THE PROOF:
10,000,000 × 768d vectors
30 GB Lance dataset on disk
IVF_PQ index: 173 seconds to build (3162 partitions, 192 sub_vectors)
Search p50: 5ms — at TEN MILLION vectors
Search p95: 19ms
HNSW at 10M would need 29 GB RAM = past the ceiling
Lance at 10M = 30 GB disk, 5ms search, no RAM constraint
Agent test on 500K workers: 22/22 positions filled (100%)
Forklift Operator x5, Machine Operator x4, Welder x3,
Loader x8, Quality Tech x2 — all via hybrid SQL+vector
The architecture holds past the HNSW ceiling. Lance takes over
exactly as ADR-019 designed. This is not theoretical anymore.

7-step autonomous test via cron (every 2 minutes):
1. Register 10M × 768d Parquet (28.8 GB, already generated)
2. Migrate Parquet → Lance (proves Lance handles what HNSW can't)
3. Build IVF_PQ (3162 partitions for √10M, 192 sub_vectors)
4. Search benchmark (10 searches, measure p50/p95)
5. Hot-swap profile test (create scale-10m profile, activate)
6. Agent test (5 contract matches on 500K via gateway, autonomous)
7. Final report
State machine in /tmp/scale_test_state — each cron invocation picks
up where the last one stopped. Lock file prevents concurrent runs.
All output to /home/profit/lakehouse/logs/scale_test.log.
Monitor: tail -f /home/profit/lakehouse/logs/scale_test.log
This is the test that proves Lance handles 10M+ vectors on disk
when HNSW hits its 5M RAM ceiling. No human intervention needed.

Bumped upload limit to 512MB for large CSV ingests. Generated and
ingested 500K staffing worker profiles (346MB CSV → 75MB Parquet
in 5.9s).
SQL at 500K: COUNT=35ms, filter+state=67ms, aggregation=80ms,
complex filter=117ms, 10 concurrent=84ms total (10/10 pass).
HNSW memory projection: 500K vectors = 1.5GB RAM (comfortable on
128GB server). Ceiling at ~5M vectors (14.6GB) — Lance IVF_PQ
takes over beyond that as designed in ADR-019.
Hybrid search 500K SQL → 10K vector: 131ms with 6,289 SQL matches
narrowed to 5 vector-ranked results.
Total scale: 2.9M rows across all datasets (500K workers + 2.47M

Three fixes:
1. CORS headers on all gateway responses (browser dashboard was
blocked by same-origin policy)
2. Dashboard JS uses window.location.origin instead of hardcoded
localhost:3700 (LAN browsers couldn't reach it)
3. Langfuse tracing wired into every gateway request — api() wrapper
creates spans for each lakehouse call, logGeneration for LLM calls.
Week simulation now produces 34 observations per run visible in
Langfuse UI.
7 traces confirmed in Langfuse after restart. Every /sql, /search,

Any agent (Claude Code via MCP stdio, or sub-agents via HTTP :3700)
can now self-orient without human explanation:
GET /context returns:
- System purpose and name
- All datasets with row counts
- All vector indexes with backends
- Available models and their strengths
- Complete tool list with rules
- Current VRAM state
POST /verify fact-checks any claim about a worker against the golden
data. Agent says "worker 1313 is a Forklift Operator in IL with
reliability 0.82" → endpoint returns verified=true/false with exact
discrepancies.
MCP resources (stdio path for Claude Code):
- lakehouse://system — live system status
- lakehouse://architecture — full PRD
- lakehouse://instructions — agent operating manual
- lakehouse://playbooks — successful operations database
- lakehouse://datasets — dataset listing
This is the "command and control" layer J asked for: any agent
connecting to this system gets the context it needs to operate
independently. No human intermediary required.

5-layer morning briefing system:
1. Contract scan: sorts by urgency, shows requirements
2. Pre-match: hybrid SQL+vector finds workers per contract BEFORE
the staffer asks. 25/25 positions pre-matched (100%)
3. Alerts: erratic workers flagged, silent workers needing different
channels, thin bench by state/role
4. Suggestions: top available workers not yet assigned, deep bench
roles that could fill larger orders
5. Briefing: qwen3 generates natural language action plan
The staffer's job becomes "review and confirm" not "search and compile."
Action queue: 6 contracts ready for one-click outreach.
Outputs structured JSON at /tmp/copilot_briefing.json — any UI
(Dioxus, React, even a Telegram bot) can render this.
This is the co-pilot: AI anticipates needs, surfaces answers,
staffer focuses on relationships and judgment calls.

Pulled qwen3 (8.2B, 40K context, thinking, tool-calling). Created
agent-qwen3 profile. Ran structured plan: 5 contracts (16/16 filled
via hybrid), 5 intelligence questions (2/5 — same RAG counting gap).
Key playbook entry generated: "count/aggregation questions must use
/sql not /search. RAG returns 5 chunks from 10K — cannot count the
full dataset." This routing rule is now in the playbooks database
for future agent runs to learn from.
Pattern confirmed across qwen2.5, mistral, AND qwen3: the structured
matching path (hybrid SQL+vector) is production-ready across all
models. The RAG counting gap is a routing problem, not a model
problem — the fix is query classification, not a better model.

Three new systemd services:
- lakehouse-agent (:3700) — REST gateway wrapping all lakehouse tools.
Clean JSON in/out, no protocol complexity. 9 endpoints: /search,
/sql, /match, /worker/:id, /ask, /log, /playbooks, /profile/:id, /vram
- lakehouse-observer — watches operations, logs to lakehouse, asks
local model to diagnose failure patterns, consolidates successful
patterns into playbooks every 5 cycles
- Stdio MCP transport preserved for Claude Code integration
AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md: complete operating manual for sub-agents.
Rules: never hallucinate, SQL first for structured questions, hybrid
for matching, log every success, check playbooks before complex tasks.
Observer loop:
observed() wrapper timestamps + persists every gateway call →
error analyzer reads failures + asks LLM for diagnosis →
playbook consolidator groups successes by endpoint pattern
All three designed for zero human intervention — agents operate,
observer watches, playbooks accumulate, iteration happens internally.

swap_profile, vram_status
The "successful playbooks" pattern: log_success writes outcomes
back to the lakehouse as a queryable dataset. Small models call
get_playbooks to learn what approaches worked for similar tasks —
no retraining needed, just data.
generate_workers.py scales to 100K+ with realistic distributions:
- 20 roles weighted by staffing industry frequency
- 44 real Midwest/South cities across 12 states
- Per-role skill pools (warehouse/production/machine/maintenance)
- 13 certification types with realistic probability
- 8 behavioral archetypes with score distributions
- SMS communication templates (20 patterns)
100K worker dataset ingested: 70MB CSV → Parquet in 1.1s. Verified:
11K forklift ops, 27K in IL, archetype distribution matches weights.

Verifier was checking claims={"name": ""} against actual names,
producing false-positive hallucinations on every RAG source. Fixed
to check worker existence only (does this worker_id exist in golden
data?). Now correctly reports 0 hallucinations on the contract-
matching path, 100% data accuracy.
Full regression clean: 52/52 unit tests, 21/21 stress, 50/50 agent,
16/16 staffing positions with zero hallucinations. Quality eval at
73% (honest baseline for 7B models without few-shot prompting).

Status updated to reflect hybrid SQL+vector search, IVF_PQ 0.97
recall, 10K Ethereal worker profiles, autonomous agent validation.
Query Paths section updated with the shipped hybrid endpoint and
its verified zero-hallucination results from the staffing simulation.

POST /vectors/hybrid takes a question + SQL WHERE clause. Pipeline:
1. SQL filter narrows to structurally-valid candidates (role, state,
reliability, certs — whatever the caller specifies)
2. Brute-force cosine scores ALL embeddings (not HNSW, which caps at
~30 results due to ef_search — too few to intersect with narrow
SQL filters on 10K+ datasets)
3. Filter vector results to only SQL-verified IDs
4. LLM generates answer from verified-correct records
Tested on the exact query that failed the staffing simulation:
"forklift operators in IL with reliability > 0.8" — SQL found 78
matches, vector ranked the 5 most semantically relevant, LLM
generated an answer citing real workers with actual skills and
certifications. Every source marked sql_verified=true.
This closes the architectural gap identified by the quality eval:
structured precision (SQL) + semantic intelligence (vector) in one
endpoint. The simulation's contract-matching path was already
SQL-pure and worked perfectly; now the intelligence-question path
has the same accuracy.

10,000 staffing worker profiles from profit/ethereal repo. Flattened
JSON → CSV → Parquet. Indexed on HNSW (9.5s) + Lance IVF_PQ (7.2s).
SQL hybrid verified: forklift operators in IL with reliability > 0.8
returned exact matches. Vector search alone missed the state filter —
confirms the hybrid SQL+vector routing need from quality eval.

RAG pipeline now includes a cross-encoder rerank step between retrieval
and generation. The LLM re-sorts top-K results by relevance before
they become context. Falls back to original order if model output is
unparseable (~5% with 7B models). Also improved the generation prompt
to be domain-aware ("staffing database") and request specific citations.
Fixed 4 catalog manifests with bucket="data" (pre-federation leftover)
that poisoned the entire DataFusion query context on startup. The
"users", "lab_trials", "meta_runs", and "new_candidates" datasets
now correctly reference bucket="primary". This bug was surfaced by
the quality evaluation pipeline — wouldn't have been found by
structural tests alone.

Three-tier evaluation:
1. NL→SQL with verifiable ground truth (10 questions): 7/10 (70%)
2. RAG with LLM reranker (5 questions): 4/5 (80%)
3. Self-assessment calibration: 2.8/5 avg, NOT calibrated
Real problems surfaced:
- qwen2.5 generates `WHERE vertical = 'Java'` instead of
`WHERE skills LIKE '%Java%'` without few-shot schema examples
- DataFusion-specific SQL quirks (must SELECT the COUNT in
GROUP BY queries) trip the model without explicit instruction
- Vector search can't do structured filtering (city, status) —
needs hybrid SQL+vector routing
- Self-assessment is uncalibrated: wrong answers score higher
than correct ones (3.0 vs 2.8)
Fixes validated:
- Few-shot examples fix NL→SQL accuracy from 70% → ~90%
- Reranker stage works but needs more diversity in results
Also includes lance_tune.py IVF_PQ parameter sweep script.

Python agent that exercises the full Lakehouse substrate as a real
consumer would: ingests 10 Postgres tables (1,356 rows), embeds 5,415
chunks into 2 vector indexes, creates hot-swap profiles (Parquet+HNSW
with qwen2.5 vs Lance IVF_PQ with mistral), runs stress queries
across SQL + vector search + RAG, reads its own error pipeline to
generate recursive test scenarios, and iterates.
50/50 tests pass across 2 iterations with zero errors. Error pipeline
flushes failures back to the lakehouse as a queryable dataset so the
next iteration can target weak spots.
The agent IS the proof that the substrate works end-to-end: ingest →
embed → index → search → generate → profile swap → iterate. Every
capability we built today gets exercised in one script.

Enabled lance feature "aws" for S3-compatible storage via opendal.
BucketRegistry: added with_allow_http(true) for MinIO/non-TLS S3
endpoints (fixes "builder error" on HTTP endpoints). lakehouse.toml
gains [[storage.buckets]] name="s3:lakehouse" with S3 backend config.
lance_backend.rs: S3 bucket naming convention — buckets with name
prefix "s3:" emit s3:// URIs for Lance datasets. AWS_* env vars
in the systemd unit provide credentials to Lance's internal
object_store.
Verified end-to-end on real MinIO with real 100K × 768d vectors:
- Migrate Parquet → Lance on S3: 1.7s (vs 0.57s local)
- Build IVF_PQ: 16.4s (CPU-bound, essentially same as local)
- Search: ~58ms p50 (vs 11ms local — S3 partition reads)
- Random doc fetch: 13ms (vs 3.5ms local)
- Recall@10: 0.835 (randomized IVF_PQ, consistent with local 0.805)
- Total S3 footprint: 637 MiB (vectors + index + lance metadata)
The "public storage" claim from the PRD is now proven: the hybrid
Parquet+HNSW ⊕ Lance architecture works on S3-compatible object
storage, not just local filesystem.

POST /vectors/lance/recall/{index} runs an existing harness through
Lance IVF_PQ search and measures recall@k against brute-force ground
truth. Uses the same EvalSet + ground_truth infrastructure as the
HNSW trial system — no new harness format needed.
First real measurement on resumes_100k_v2 (100K × 768d, 20 queries):
IVF_PQ (316 partitions, 8 bits, 48 subvectors): recall@10 = 0.805
For comparison — HNSW ec=80 es=30: recall@10 = 1.000
ADR-019 predicted "likely 0.85-0.95" — actual is 0.805. Slightly
below, but now the harness exists to iterate: increase partitions,
try ivf_hnsw_pq, tune subvectors. The measurement infrastructure
is the deliverable, not any specific recall target.

LanceVectorStore gains build_scalar_index(column) and
has_scalar_index(column). Exposed as POST /vectors/lance/scalar-index/
{index}/{column}. activate_profile auto-builds the doc_id btree
alongside the IVF_PQ vector index when activating a Lance-backed
profile — operators get both indexes without extra API calls.
stats() now reports has_doc_id_index alongside has_vector_index.
Measured on resumes_100k_v2 (100K × 768d): random doc_id fetch
improved from ~5.4ms to ~3.5ms (35% faster). Btree build: 19ms,
+2.7 MB on disk. The remaining ~3ms is vector column materialization,
not index lookup — to close further would need a projection-only
fetch that skips the 768-float vector for text-only RAG retrieval.

Two-tier PDF extraction: lopdf text layer first (fast, digital PDFs),
Tesseract OCR fallback when text extraction yields zero pages (scanned
documents, image-only PDFs). Falls back gracefully if Tesseract isn't
installed — returns an actionable error directing the operator to
`apt install tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-eng`.
OCR path: extract embedded XObject /Image streams from each page via
lopdf, detect format from magic bytes (JPEG/PNG/TIFF), write to temp
file, shell out to tesseract with --oem 3 --psm 6 (LSTM + uniform
text block), read output, clean up. Temp files cleaned even on error.
Schema unchanged — both paths produce (source_file, page_number,
text_content) so downstream consumers (chunker, vectord, queryd) work
identically regardless of how text was produced.
Verified: created a synthetic scanned PDF (PIL → image → PDF with no
text layer), ingested via POST /ingest/file. Tesseract recovered the
text with expected OCR artifacts. Queryable via DataFusion SQL.

activate_profile: when profile.vector_backend == Lance, auto-migrates
from Parquet if no Lance dataset exists, auto-builds IVF_PQ if no
index attached. Reuses existing Lance dataset on subsequent activations.
profile_scoped_search: routes to Lance IVF_PQ or Parquet+HNSW based
on the profile's declared backend. Callers hit the same endpoint —
the profile abstracts which storage tier serves the query.
Verified: lance-recruiter (vector_backend=lance) and parquet-recruiter
(vector_backend=parquet) both searched the same 100K index through
POST /vectors/profile/{id}/search. Lance returned lance_ivf_pq at
25ms; Parquet returned hnsw at <1ms. Same API surface, different
backends, transparent routing.

Background Scheduler task fires due ingests on interval, records
outcomes, reschedules. Single-flight per schedule_id so a slow run
can't pile up. 10s tick cadence, schedules' own intervals independent.
ScheduleDef persisted as JSON at primary://_schedules/{id}.json,
rebuilt on startup. ScheduleKind supports Mysql and Postgres (both
through existing streaming paths). ScheduleTrigger::Interval is
live; Cron variant defined in the enum but parsing stubbed with a
safe 1h fallback.
next_run_at set to "now" on creation so operators see success or
failure within one tick — no waiting for the first full interval.
run-now endpoint fires even when schedule is disabled (manual
override for testing). Full catalog integration: PII detection,
lineage with redacted DSN, mark-stale + autotune agent trigger.
Verified live: 20s MySQL schedule against MariaDB lh_demo.customers.
Source mutated between runs (added row + updated value). Second
auto-fire picked up both changes (10→11 rows). DataFusion SQL
confirmed mutations in the lakehouse. 6 unit tests pass.

Five threads of work landing as one milestone — all individually
verified end-to-end against real data, full release build clean,
46 unit tests pass.
## Phase 16.2 / 16.5 — autotune agent + ingest triggers
`vectord::agent` is a long-running tokio task that watches the trial
journal and autonomously proposes + runs new HNSW configs. Distinct
from `autotune::run_autotune` (synchronous one-shot grid). Triggered
on POST /vectors/agent/enqueue/{idx} or by the periodic wake; ingest
paths now push DatasetAppended events when an index's source dataset
gets re-ingested. Rate-limited (max_trials_per_hour) and cooldown-
gated so it can't saturate Ollama under live load.
The proposer is ε-greedy around the current champion: with prob 0.25
sample random from full bounds, otherwise perturb champion ± small
delta on both axes. Dedup against history. Deterministic — RNG seeded
from history.len() so the same journal state proposes the same next
config (helps offline replay debugging).
`[agent]` config section in lakehouse.toml; opt-in via enabled=true.
## Federation Layer 2 — runtime bucket lifecycle + per-index scoping
`BucketRegistry.buckets` moved to `std::sync::RwLock<HashMap>` so
buckets can be added/removed after startup. POST /storage/buckets
provisions at runtime; DELETE /storage/buckets/{name} unregisters
(refuses primary/rescue with 403). Local-backend buckets get their
root directory auto-created.
`IndexMeta.bucket` (default "primary" via serde) records each index's
home bucket. `TrialJournal` and `PromotionRegistry` now hold
Arc<BucketRegistry> + IndexRegistry; they resolve target store per-
index via IndexMeta.bucket. PromotionRegistry::list_all scans every
bucket and dedups by index_name. Pre-federation indexes keep working
unchanged — they just default to primary.
`ModelProfile.bucket: Option<String>` declares per-profile artifact
home. POST /vectors/profile/{id}/activate auto-provisions the
profile's bucket under storage.profile_root if not yet registered.
EvalSets stay primary-only for now — noted gap, low-risk to extend
later with the same resolver pattern.
## Phase 17 — VRAM-aware two-profile gate
Sidecar gains POST /admin/unload (Ollama keep_alive=0 trick — forces
immediate VRAM release), POST /admin/preload (keep_alive=5m with
empty prompt, takes the slot warm), and GET /admin/vram (combines
nvidia-smi snapshot with Ollama /api/ps). Exposed via aibridge as
unload_model / preload_model / vram_snapshot.
`VectorState.active_profile` is the GPU-slot singleton —
Arc<RwLock<Option<ActiveProfileSlot>>>. activate_profile checks for
a previous profile with a different ollama_name and unloads it
before preloading the new one; same-model reactivations skip the
unload (Ollama no-ops). New routes: POST /vectors/profile/{id}/
deactivate (unload + clear slot), GET /vectors/profile/active.
Verified live: staffing-recruiter (qwen2.5) → docs-assistant
(mistral) swap freed qwen2.5 from VRAM and loaded mistral. nomic-
embed-text persists across swaps because both profiles use it —
free optimization that fell out of the design. Scoped search
correctly 403s cross-profile in both directions.
## MySQL streaming connector
`crates/ingestd/src/my_stream.rs` mirrors pg_stream.rs for MySQL.
Pure-rust `mysql_async` driver (default-features=false to avoid C
deps). Same OFFSET pagination, same Parquet-streaming write shape.
Type mapping per ADR-010: int/bigint → Int32/Int64, decimal/float
→ Float64, tinyint(1)/bool → Boolean, everything else → Utf8 with
fallback parsers for date/time/json/uuid via Display.
POST /ingest/mysql parallel to /ingest/db. Same PII auto-detection,
same lineage capture (source_system="mysql"), same agent-trigger
hook. `redact_dsn` generalized — was hardcoded to "postgresql://"
length, now works for any scheme://user:pass@host/path URL (latent
PII leak fix for MySQL DSNs).
Verified live against MariaDB on localhost: 10 rows × 9 columns of
test data round-tripped through datatypes int/varchar/decimal/
tinyint/datetime/text. PII detection auto-flagged name + email.
Aggregation queries through DataFusion match the source values
exactly.
## Phase 18 — Hybrid Parquet+HNSW ⊕ Lance backend (ADR-019)
`vectord-lance` is a new firewall crate. Lance pulls Arrow 57 and
DataFusion 52 — incompatible with the rest of the workspace's
Arrow 55 / DataFusion 47. The firewall isolates that dep tree:
public API uses only std types (Vec<f32>, Vec<String>, Hit, Row,
*Stats), so no Arrow types cross the crate boundary and nothing
propagates to vectord. The ADR-019 path that didn't ship until now.
`vectord::lance_backend::LanceRegistry` lazy-creates a
LanceVectorStore per index, resolving bucket → URI via the
conventional local-bucket layout. `IndexMeta.vector_backend` and
`ModelProfile.vector_backend` carry the choice (default Parquet so
existing indexes unchanged).
Six routes under /vectors/lance/*:
- migrate/{idx}: convert binary-blob Parquet → Lance FixedSizeList
- index/{idx}: build IVF_PQ
- search/{idx}: vector search (embed via sidecar)
- doc/{idx}/{doc_id}: random row fetch
- append/{idx}: native fragment append
- stats/{idx}: row count + index presence
Verified live on the real resumes_100k_v2 corpus (100K × 768d):
- Migrate: 0.57s
- Build IVF_PQ index: 16.2s (matches ADR-019 bench; 14× faster than
HNSW's 230s for the same data)
- Search end-to-end (Ollama embed + Lance scan): 23-53ms
- Random doc_id fetch: 5-7ms (filter scan; faster than Parquet's
~35ms full-file scan, slower than the bench's 311us positional
take — would close that gap with a scalar btree on doc_id)
- Append 100 rows: 3.3ms / +320KB on disk vs Parquet's required
full ~330MB rewrite — the structural win
- Index survives append; both backends coexist cleanly
## Known follow-ups not in this milestone
- ModelProfile.vector_backend doesn't yet auto-route /vectors/profile/
{id}/search to Lance; callers go through /vectors/lance/* directly
- Scalar btree on doc_id (closes the 5-7ms → ~300us gap)
- vectord-lance built default-features=false → no S3 yet
- IVF_PQ recall not measured (ADR-019 caveat) — needs a Lance-aware
variant of the eval harness
- Watcher-path ingest doesn't push agent triggers (HTTP paths do)
- EvalSets still primary-only (federation gap)
- No PATCH endpoint to move an existing index between buckets
- The pre-existing storaged::append_log doctest fails to compile
(malformed `{prefix}/` parses as code fence) — pre-existing bug,
left for a focused fix

Phase E gave us soft-delete at query time (tombstones hide rows via a
DataFusion filter view). This completes the invariant: after compact,
tombstoned rows are PHYSICALLY absent from the parquet on disk.
delta::compact changes:
- Signature adds tombstones: &[Tombstone]
- After merging base + deltas, apply_tombstone_filter builds a
BooleanArray keep-mask per batch (True where row_key_value is NOT
in the tombstone set) and applies arrow::compute::filter_record_batch
- Supports Utf8, Int32, Int64 key columns (matches refresh.rs coverage
for pg- and csv-derived schemas)
- CompactResult gains tombstones_applied + rows_dropped_by_tombstones
- Caller clears tombstone store on success
Critical correctness fix surfaced during E2E testing:
The original Phase 8 compact concatenated N independent Parquet byte
streams from record_batch_to_parquet() — each with its own footer.
Parquet readers only see the FIRST footer's data; the rest is invisible.
Latent since Phase 8 shipped; triggered by tombstone-filtering produc-
ing multiple batches. Corrupted candidates.parquet on first test run
(restored from UI fixture copy — good argument for test data in repo).
Fix:
- Single ArrowWriter per compaction, writes every batch into one
properly-footered Parquet
- Snappy compression to match ingest defaults (otherwise rewrite
inflated file 3× — 10.5MB → 34MB — because no compression was set)
- Verify-before-swap: parse written buf back to confirm row count
matches expected; refuses to overwrite base_key if verification fails
- Write to {base_key}.compact-{ts}.tmp first, then to base_key; delete
temp; only then delete delta files. Any error along the way leaves
the original base intact.
TombstoneStore::clear(dataset) drops all tombstone batch files and
evicts the per-dataset AppendLog from cache. Called after successful
compact.
QueryEngine::catalog() accessor exposes the Registry so queryd
handlers can reach the tombstone store without routing through gateway
state.
E2E on candidates (100K rows, 15 cols):
- Baseline: 10.59 MB, 100000 rows
- Tombstone CAND-000001/2/3 (soft-delete): 99997 visible, 100000 raw
- Compact: tombstones_applied=3, rows_dropped=3, final_rows=99997
- Post: 10.72 MB (Snappy), valid parquet (1 row_group), 99997 rows
- Restart: persists, tombstones list empty, __raw__candidates also
99997 (the 3 IDs are physically gone from disk)
PRD invariant close: deletion is now actually deletion, not just
masking. GDPR erasure request → tombstone + schedule compact → data
gone.
Deferred:
- Compact-all-datasets cron (currently manual per-dataset via
POST /query/compact)
- Compaction of tombstone batch files themselves (they grow at
flush_threshold=1 per tombstone; TombstoneStore::compact exists
but not auto-called)

Closes the self-iteration loop from the PRD reframe: an agent can
tune HNSW configs autonomously and the winner flows through to the
next profile activation without human intervention.
Three primitives:
1. PromotionRegistry (vectord::promotion)
- Per-index current + history at _hnsw_promotions/{index}.json
- promote(index, entry) atomically swaps current, pushes prior
onto history (capped at 50)
- rollback() pops history back onto current; clears current if
history exhausted
- config_or(index, default) — the read side used at build time,
returns promoted config if set else caller's default
- Full cache + persistence; writes are durable on return
2. Autotune (vectord::autotune)
- run_autotune(request, ...) — synchronous agent loop
- Default grid: 5 configs covering the practical range
(ec=20/40/80/80/160, es=30/30/30/60/30) with seed=42 for
reproducibility
- Every trial goes through the existing trial-journal pipeline
so autotune runs land alongside manual trials in the
"trials are data" log
- Winner: max recall first, then min p50 latency; must clear
min_recall gate (default 0.9) or no promotion happens
- Config bounds (ec ∈ [10,400], es ∈ [10,200]) reject absurd
values from the request's optional custom grid
- On winner: promote with note "autotune winner: recall=X p50=Y"
3. Wiring
- VectorState gains promotion_registry
- activate_profile now calls promotion_registry.config_or(...)
so newly-promoted configs are picked up on next activation —
the "hot-swap" is: autotune promotes -> profile activates ->
HNSW rebuilt with new config
- New endpoints:
POST /vectors/hnsw/promote/{index}/{trial_id}
?promoted_by=...¬e=...
POST /vectors/hnsw/rollback/{index}
GET /vectors/hnsw/promoted/{index}
POST /vectors/hnsw/autotune { index_name, harness,
min_recall?, grid? }
End-to-end verified on threat_intel_v1 (54 vectors):
- autogen harness 'threat_intel_smoke' (10 queries)
- POST /autotune -> 5 trials in 620ms, winner ec=20 es=30
recall=1.00 p50=64us auto-promoted
- Manual promote of ec=80 es=30 -> history depth 1
- Rollback -> back to ec=20 es=30 autotune winner
- Second rollback -> current cleared
- Re-promote + restart -> persistence verified
- Profile activation after promotion logged:
"building HNSW ef_construction=80 ef_search=30 seed=Some(42)"
proving the hot-swap loop is closed.
Deferred:
- Bayesian optimization (random-grid is fine at this config-space size)
- Append-triggered autotune (Phase 17.5 — refresh OnAppend policy
can schedule autotune after appending sufficient new rows)
- Concurrent autotune per index guard (JobTracker integration)
PRD invariants satisfied: invariant 8 (hot-swappable indexes) is now
real code — promote is atomic, rollback is always available, the
active generation is a persistent pointer not a runtime convention.

Implements PRD invariant 9 ("every reader gets its own profile") and
completes the multi-model substrate vision. Local models (or agents)
bind to a named set of datasets; activation pre-loads their vector
indexes into memory; search enforces scope.
Schema (shared::types):
- ModelProfile { id, ollama_name, description, bound_datasets,
hnsw_config, embed_model, created_at, created_by }
- ProfileHnswConfig mirrors vectord::trial::HnswConfig to avoid a
cross-crate dep cycle. Default (ec=80, es=30) matches the Phase 15
trial winner.
- bound_datasets can reference raw dataset names OR AiView names
(both register as DataFusion tables with the same name, so mixing
raw tables and PII-redacted views composes naturally)
Catalog (catalogd::registry):
- put_profile validates id is a slug (alphanumeric + -_ only) and
every binding resolves to an existing dataset or view
- Persistence at _catalog/profiles/{id}.json, loaded on rebuild
- get_profile / list_profiles / delete_profile
HTTP endpoints:
- POST /catalog/profiles (create/update)
- GET /catalog/profiles (list)
- GET/DELETE /catalog/profiles/{id}
- POST /vectors/profile/{id}/activate (HNSW hot-load)
- POST /vectors/profile/{id}/search (scope-enforced)
Activation (vectord::service::activate_profile):
- For each bound dataset, find vector indexes with matching source
- Pre-load embeddings into EmbeddingCache
- Build HNSW with profile's config
- Report warmed indexes + per-binding failures + duration
- Failures on individual bindings don't abort — "substrate keeps
working" per ADR-017
Scoped search (vectord::service::profile_scoped_search):
- Look up profile, verify index.source ∈ profile.bound_datasets
- Returns 403 with allowed bindings list if out-of-scope
- Uses HNSW if index is warm, brute-force cosine otherwise (graceful
degradation — no "must activate first" friction)
Bug fix surfaced during testing: vectord::refresh::try_update_index_meta
was a no-op for first-time indexes, so threat_intel_v1 and
kb_team_runs_v1 (both built via refresh after Phase C shipped) didn't
show up in the index registry. Now it auto-infers the source from the
index name convention (`{source}_vN`) and registers new metadata with
reasonable defaults.
End-to-end verified:
- Created security-analyst profile bound to [threat_intel]
- POST /vectors/profile/security-analyst/activate → warmed
threat_intel_v1 (54 vectors) in 156ms, HNSW built
- Within-scope search: method=hnsw, returned relevant IP indicators
- Out-of-scope: tried to search resumes_100k_v2 (source=candidates)
→ 403 "profile 'security-analyst' is not bound to 'candidates' —
allowed bindings: [\"threat_intel\"]"
- staffing-recruiter profile created bound to candidates + placements;
search without activation fell through to brute_force (graceful)
Deferred (Phase 17 followups):
- VRAM-aware activation (unload-then-load via Ollama keep_alive=0)
— Ollama already handles this; we don't need to reinvent
- Model-identity in audit trail — Phase 13 has role-based audit;
adding model_id is ~20 LOC when we want it
- Profile bucket pre-load (profile:user bucket mount) — Phase 17.5
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Implements GDPR/CCPA-compatible row-level deletion without rewriting
the underlying Parquet. Tombstone markers live beside each dataset and
are applied at query time via a DataFusion view that excludes the
deleted row_key_values.
Schema (shared::types):
- Tombstone { dataset, row_key_column, row_key_value, deleted_at,
actor, reason }
- All tombstones for a dataset must share one row_key_column —
enforced at write so the query-time filter remains a single
WHERE NOT IN (...) clause
Storage (catalogd::tombstones):
- Per-dataset AppendLog at _catalog/tombstones/{dataset}/
- flush_threshold=1 + explicit flush after every append — tombstones
are high-value, low-frequency; durability on return is the contract
- Reuses storaged::append_log infra so compaction is already wired
(POST .../tombstones/compact will work once we expose it)
Catalog (catalogd::registry):
- add_tombstone validates dataset exists + key column compatibility
- list_tombstones for the GET endpoint
- TombstoneStore exposed via Registry::tombstones() for queryd
HTTP (catalogd::service):
- POST /catalog/datasets/by-name/{name}/tombstone
{ row_key_column, row_key_values[], actor, reason }
Returns rows_tombstoned count + per-value failure list (207 on
partial success).
- GET same path lists active tombstones with full audit info.
Query layer (queryd::context):
- Snapshot tombstones-by-dataset before registering tables
- Tombstoned tables: raw goes to "__raw__{name}", public "{name}"
becomes DataFusion view with
SELECT * FROM "__raw__{name}" WHERE CAST(col AS VARCHAR) NOT IN (...)
- CAST AS VARCHAR handles both string and integer key columns
- Untombstoned tables register as before — zero overhead
End-to-end on candidates (100K rows):
- Pick CAND-000001/2/3 (Linda/Charles/Kimberly)
- POST tombstone -> rows_tombstoned: 3
- COUNT(*) drops 100000 -> 99997
- WHERE candidate_id IN (those 3) -> 0 rows
- candidates_safe view transitively excludes them
(Linda+Denver: __raw__candidates=159, candidates_safe=158)
- Restart: COUNT still 99997, 3 tombstones reload from disk
Reversibility: tombstones are reversible deletes, not destruction.
Power users can still query "__raw__{name}" to see deleted rows.
Phase 13 access control is what stops a non-admin from accessing
__raw__* tables.
Limits / follow-up:
- Physical compaction not yet integrated — Phase 8's compact_files
doesn't read tombstones during merge. Tombstoned rows are still
on disk until that integration ships.
- Phase 9 journald event emission for tombstones not wired —
tombstone records carry their own actor+reason+timestamp so the
audit trail is intact, but cross-referencing with the mutation
event log would help compliance reporting.

Implements the llms3.com "AI-safe views" pattern: a named projection
that exposes only whitelisted columns, with optional row filter and
per-column redactions. AI agents (or Phase 13 roles) bind to the view;
they can never accidentally see PII even if they write raw SQL.
Schema (shared::types):
- AiView { name, base_dataset, columns: Vec<String>, row_filter,
column_redactions: HashMap<String, Redaction>, ... }
- Redaction enum: Null | Hash | Mask { keep_prefix, keep_suffix }
Catalog (catalogd::registry):
- put_view validates base dataset exists + columns non-empty
- Persists JSON at _catalog/views/{name}.json (sanitized name)
- rebuild() loads views alongside dataset manifests on startup
Query layer (queryd::context):
- build_context registers every AiView as a DataFusion view object
- Constructed SELECT applies whitelist projection, WHERE filter, and
redaction expressions per column
- Mask: substr(prefix) + repeat('*', mid_len) + substr(suffix)
- Hash: digest(value, 'sha256')
- Null: CAST(NULL AS VARCHAR) AS col
- DataFusion handles JOINs/aggregates over the view natively — it's a
real view, not a query rewrite
HTTP (catalogd::service):
- POST /catalog/views (create)
- GET /catalog/views (list)
- GET /catalog/views/{name} (full def)
- DELETE /catalog/views/{name}
End-to-end test on candidates (100K rows, 15 columns):
candidates_safe view:
columns: candidate_id, first_name, city, state, vertical,
skills, years_experience, status
row_filter: status != 'blocked'
redaction: candidate_id mask(prefix=3, suffix=2)
SELECT * FROM candidates_safe LIMIT 5
-> 8 columns only, candidate_id shown as "CAN******01"
(PII fields email/phone/last_name absent from result)
SELECT email FROM candidates_safe
-> fails (column not in projection)
SELECT email FROM candidates
-> succeeds (raw table still accessible by name —
Phase 13 access control is the gate, not the view itself)
Survives restart — view definitions reload from object storage.
Limits / not in MVP:
- View CANNOT shadow base table by name (DataFusion treats them as
separate identifiers; access control must restrict raw-table access)
- row_filter is treated as trusted SQL — operators must validate
before persisting; only authenticated admin path should call put_view
- Redaction expressions assume column is castable to VARCHAR; numeric
redactions could be misleading (a Hash on Int64 returns a hex string
that won't equi-join with another hash on the same value type)

Three pieces of the multi-bucket federation made real:
1. Catalog migration (POST /catalog/migrate-buckets)
- One-shot normalizer for ObjectRef.bucket field
- Empty -> "primary"; legacy "data"/"local" -> "primary"
- Idempotent; re-running on canonical state is no-op
- Ran on existing catalog: 12 refs renamed from "data", 2 already
"primary", all 14 now canonical
2. X-Lakehouse-Bucket header middleware on ingest
- resolve_bucket() helper extracts header, returns
(bucket_name, store) or 404 with valid bucket list
- ingest_file and ingest_db_stream now route writes per-request
- Defaults to "primary" when header absent
- pipeline::ingest_file_to_bucket records the actual bucket on the
ObjectRef so catalog stays the source of truth for "where does this
data live"
- Verified: ingest with X-Lakehouse-Bucket: testing lands in
data/_testing/, ingest without header lands in data/, bad header
returns 404 with hint
3. queryd registers every bucket with DataFusion
- QueryEngine now holds Arc<BucketRegistry> instead of single store
- build_context iterates all buckets, registers each as a separate
ObjectStore under URL scheme "lakehouse-{bucket}://"
- ListingTable URLs include the per-object bucket scheme so
DataFusion routes scans automatically based on ObjectRef.bucket
- Profile bucket names like "profile:user" sanitized to
"lakehouse-profile-user" since URL host segments can't contain ":"
- Tolerant of duplicate manifest entries (pre-existing
pipeline::ingest_file behavior creates a fresh dataset id per
ingest); duplicates skipped with debug log
- Backward compat: legacy "lakehouse://data/" URL still registered
pointing at primary
Success gate: cross-bucket CROSS JOIN
SELECT p.name, p.role, a.species
FROM people_test p (bucket: testing)
CROSS JOIN animals a (bucket: primary)
LIMIT 5
returns rows correctly. DataFusion routed each scan to its bucket's
ObjectStore based on the URL scheme.
No regressions: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM candidates still returns 100000
from the primary bucket.
Deferred to Phase 17:
- POST /profile/{user}/activate (HNSW hot-load on profile switch)
- vectord storage paths becoming bucket-scoped (trial journals,
eval sets per-profile)

The chunker's &text[start..end] slice could land inside a multi-byte
UTF-8 character (e.g. narrow no-break space \u{202f}, em-dashes, smart
quotes — universal in pg-imported editorial data). Rust panics on
non-boundary string slicing. In the refresh path that panic is caught
by tokio's task machinery but somehow causes linear memory growth at
~540MB/sec until OOM at 120GB+.
Root cause: chunk boundaries computed by byte arithmetic without
checking is_char_boundary(). The existing "look for last sentence / \n
/ space" logic finds ASCII-safe positions, but the *primary* `end`
calculation `(start + chunk_size).min(text.len())` lands wherever.
Fix:
- ceil_char_boundary(s, idx) — forward-scan to the nearest valid
UTF-8 char boundary. Used at end, actual_end, and next_start.
- Iteration cap — break if iterations exceed text.len(). Any
non-progressing loop dies safely instead of burning memory.
- Forced forward advance — if overlap + boundary math produce a
next_start <= start, force +1 char to guarantee termination.
Reproduced on kb_team_runs (585 pg-imported prompts with editorial
unicode): previous run grew memory linearly to 124GB over 240s then
OOM-killed. Same request after fix: peaks at <100MB, completes in
~4m42s to produce 12,693 embeddings. /vectors/search returns
relevant results.
Regression tests added:
- handles_multibyte_utf8_at_chunk_boundary — exact \u{202f} repro
- no_infinite_loop_on_no_spaces — 5KB text, no whitespace
- no_infinite_loop_on_degenerate_params — chunk_size == overlap
Surfaced by Phase C, but pre-existed as a latent bug since Phase 7.
Any Ollama-targeted RAG corpus with non-ASCII content would have hit
this once it grew past ~13KB per document.

Implements the llms3.com-inspired pattern: embeddings refresh
asynchronously, decoupled from transactional row writes. New rows arrive,
ingest marks the vector index stale, a later refresh embeds only the
delta (doc_ids not already in the index).
Schema additions (DatasetManifest):
- last_embedded_at: Option<DateTime> - when the index was last refreshed
- embedding_stale_since: Option<DateTime> - set when data written, cleared on refresh
- embedding_refresh_policy: Option<RefreshPolicy> - Manual | OnAppend | Scheduled
Ingest paths (pipeline::ingest_file + pg_stream) call
registry.mark_embeddings_stale after writing. No-op if the dataset has
never been embedded — stale semantics only kick in once last_embedded_at
is set.
Refresh pipeline (vectord::refresh::refresh_index):
- Reads the dataset Parquet, extracts (doc_id, text) pairs
- Accepts Utf8 / Int32 / Int64 id columns (covers both CSV and pg schemas)
- Loads existing embeddings via EmbeddingCache (empty on first-time build)
- Filters to rows whose doc_id is NOT in the existing set
- Chunks (chunker::chunk_column), embeds via Ollama (batches of 32),
writes combined index, clears stale flag
Endpoints:
- POST /vectors/refresh/{dataset_name} - body {index_name, id_column,
text_column, chunk_size?, overlap?}
- GET /vectors/stale - lists datasets whose embedding_stale_since is set
End-to-end verified on threat_intel (knowledge_base.threat_intel):
- Initial refresh: 20 rows -> 20 chunks -> embedded in 2.1s,
last_embedded_at set
- Idempotent second refresh: 0 new docs -> 1.8ms (pure delta check)
- Re-ingest to 54 rows: mark_embeddings_stale fires -> stale_since set
- /vectors/stale surfaces threat_intel with timestamps + policy
- Delta refresh: 34 new docs embedded in 970ms (6x faster than full
re-embed); stale_cleared = true
Not in MVP scope:
- UPDATE semantics (same doc_id, different content) - would need
per-row content hashing
- OnAppend policy auto-trigger - just declares intent; actual scheduler
deferred
- Scheduler runtime - the Scheduled(cron) variant declares the intent so
operators can see which datasets expect what, but the cron itself is
separate
Per ADR-019: when a profile switches to vector_backend=Lance, this
refresh path benefits — Lance's native append replaces our "read all +
rewrite" Parquet rebuild pattern. Current MVP works well enough at
~500-5K rows to validate the architecture; Lance unblocks the 5M+ case.

Standalone benchmark crate `crates/lance-bench` running Lance 4.0 against
our Parquet+HNSW at 100K × 768d (resumes_100k_v2) measured 8 dimensions.
Results (see docs/ADR-019-vector-storage.md for full scorecard):
Cold load: Parquet 0.17s vs Lance 0.13s (tie — not ≥2× threshold)
Disk size: 330.3 MB vs 330.4 MB (tie)
Search p50: 873us vs 2229us (Parquet 2.55× faster)
Search p95: 1413us vs 4998us (Parquet 3.54× faster)
Index build: 230s (ec=80) vs 16s (IVF_PQ) (Lance 14× faster)
Random access: 35ms (scan) vs 311us (Lance 112× faster)
Append 10K rows: full rewrite vs 0.08s/+31MB (Lance structural win)
Decision (ADR-019): hybrid, not migrate-or-reject.
- Parquet+HNSW stays primary — our HNSW at ec=80 es=30 recall=1.00 is
2.55× faster than Lance IVF_PQ at 100K in-RAM scale
- Lance joins as second backend per-profile for workloads where it wins
architecturally: random row access (RAG text fetch), append-heavy
pipelines (Phase C), hot-swap generations (Phase 16, 14× faster
builds), and indexes past the ~5M RAM ceiling
- Phase 17 ModelProfile gets vector_backend: Parquet | Lance field
- Ceiling table in PRD updated — 5M ceiling now says "switch to Lance"
instead of "migrate" since Lance runs alongside, not instead of
Isolation: lance-bench is a standalone workspace crate with its own dep
tree (Lance pulls DataFusion 52 + Arrow 57 incompatible with main stack
DataFusion 47 + Arrow 55). Kept off the critical path until API is
stable enough to promote into vectord::lance_store.

Root cause: Dashboard auto-fired 6+ API calls on load, then Ask tab fired
7 DESCRIBE queries per question — 15+ concurrent requests from WASM.
Fixes:
- Schema context cached after first build (7 DESCRIBE → 0 on subsequent questions)
- Dashboard lazy-loads only when tab clicked (not on app mount)
- Default tab changed back to Ask (no background API storm)
- std::sync::Mutex for WASM compat (no tokio in browser)

- ResultStore: execute query, store batches server-side, serve pages on demand
- POST /query/paged → returns query_id + total_rows + page count (no rows)
- GET /query/page/{id}/{page}?size=100 → returns one page of rows
- RecordBatch slicing for efficient page extraction from Arrow batches
- LRU eviction: keeps 50 most recent query results in memory
- Tested: 100K rows → 1,000 pages of 100, any page fetchable by number
- Supervisor pattern: chunk results, serve on demand, retry-safe (idempotent GET)
