Summary

Implements card t_1b894ea6 (P2): switch to local-first embedding posture. No document content leaves the machine for embedding.

Decision

BAAI/bge-m3 is the collective-memory choice: 1024-dimensional, multilingual (trained on 100+ languages, strong on Spanish + English), open-weight. It outperforms all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (English-only) and model2vec potion-retrieval-32M (static, no query/passage prefix support) for our mixed ES/EN corpus.

Changes

  • DEFAULT_EMBED_PROVIDER: nvidialocal
  • DEFAULT_EMBED_MODELS[local]: all-MiniLM-L6-v2BAAI/bge-m3

Migration

Non-destructive. Embeddings are keyed by (chapter_id, provider, model) — NVIDIA vectors coexist with local ones. Operators run a one-time embed-backfill --provider local to regenerate all vectors locally. Rollback: flip the env var back.

Requirements

sentence-transformers must be installed for the local provider. The kit's requirements-local-embeddings.txt lists this dependency.

Building on v3.9.0 (PRs #4-#7).

…te_chapter

- memoryctl: update_chapter (in-place edit, FTS5 delete+insert, drops stale
  embeddings on content/title change, book title/slug sync with collision
  guard) and delete_chapter (FK cascade for embeddings/links, FTS row
  removal, empty-book pruning, raw_sha256 report for archival)
- CLI: memoryctl.py update / delete subcommands
- hmk-memory plugin: librarian tool gains update + delete actions (1.1.0)
- tests: 11 new tests against a real temp library.db; replace stale
  test_get_tool_schemas_empty with an enum-invariant test
- also commits the previously deployed-but-uncommitted librarian tool (v3.8.0)
  and integrates origin's v3.7.3 memoryctl path-resolution fix
- plugin cli.py: update/delete subcommands matching the librarian tool and
  memoryctl semantics (no-field update exits 2, --keep-book flag)
- plugin README: document the librarian tool action table and the
  embedding-drop / raw_sha256 contracts
Consistent with upsert_book() bumping it on every add_text; covered by
test_update_bumps_book_updated_at with a pinned now_ts.
- scripts/corpus_policy.py: file-level blocking (never-touch names/globs)
  + content-level secret scan (private keys, API tokens, JWTs, Bearer)
- Selective embedding: code (.py/.js/.sh) and config (.yaml/.json/.toml)
  files get embed_disabled=1 at ingest time — FTS5-only, no cloud API
- chapters.embed_disabled + embed_disable_reason columns (auto-migrated)
- embedding_candidates() / embed-backfill skip disabled chapters
- stats() reports embed_disabled breakdown by reason
- add_file blocks protected files; ingest_any enforces corpus policy
- update_chapter re-scans content for secrets
- 30 new tests in tests/test_corpus_policy.py (83 total, all pass)

Cards: t_116003b9 (P1 corpus policy) + t_c2f96fa4 (P1 selective embedding)
- New link_suggestions table (status candidate/accepted/rejected)
- suggest_links(): K nearest neighbors via cosine similarity on embeddings
  Filters: no self-links, already-linked, same-book
- list_link_suggestions(): list with both chapters' context
- review_link_suggestion(): accept → creates chapter_links edge,
  reject → marks blocked for re-proposal
- CLI: suggest-links, review-links (accept/reject/list)
- Librarian tool: suggest_links action (read-only — guard against self-approval)
- stats() reports suggestions + suggestions_total counts

…tstrap)

- _lock_maintenance(): POSIX fcntl.flock non-blocking exclusive lock
  on $HMK_AGENT_MEMORY_BASE/.maintenance.lock
- Fails fast with exit code 3 on conflict; locked commands:
  backfill_embeddings(), bootstrap()
- Read-only commands and single-chapter mutations stay lock-free
- No-op when BASE_DIR is None (tests pass unaffected)

…st for export_obsidian

- Build into <vault>/.staging/<run_id>/ (invisible to Obsidian)
- projection-manifest.json with per-note content sha256 hashes
- Idempotency: skip notes whose hash matches manifest; report
  written/unchanged/removed_orphans counts
- Atomic publish: os.rename staging → <vault>/live/
- Orphan pruning: notes for deleted chapters auto-removed
- --check mode: drift detector (exit non-zero if projection differs)
- Maintenance flock for safety

…ual)

- DEFAULT_EMBED_PROVIDER: nvidia → local
- DEFAULT_EMBED_MODELS[local]: all-MiniLM-L6-v2 → BAAI/bge-m3
- bge-m3 is the collective-memory choice: 1024-dim, multilingual (ES/EN)
- No destructive migration: embeddings keyed by (chapter_id, provider, model)
  so NVIDIA vectors coexist with local ones
- Requires sentence-transformers: pip install sentence-transformers
