The 'router' name was misleading — it's the always-on conversational front-end
(CHAT triage + STEERING into a running workflow), not a routing layer, and it's
distinct from InferenceRouter. Rename core:router -> core:talkie, package
com.correx.core.router -> com.correx.core.talkie, and RouterFacade/Config/State/
Repository/ContextBuilder/Projector/Reducer/Response -> Talkie*. Config section
[router] -> [talkie] (legacy [router] still read as fallback).
Persisted wire formats are preserved: ChatTurnRole.ROUTER and the
RouterNarrationEvent @SerialName("RouterNarration") stay, so existing event
logs still replay. RouterNarrationEvent the class is now TalkieNarrationEvent.
Enable autonomous QA through a remote OpenAI-compatible provider (NVIDIA NIM)
and harden the tool/approval path so unattended multi-stage runs complete.
- inference: add openai_compat provider (Bearer chat-completions for NIM/OpenAI),
dispatched by provider type "nim"/"openai"; key via api_key/api_key_env.
- server: bind configured [server] host/port instead of a hardcoded 8080;
POST /sessions accepts an optional `intent` (WS parity) for intent-driven workflows.
- kernel: thread the bound operator profile's approval_mode into per-tool gating so
auto/yolo enable unattended approval (engine still consulted; policy/plane-2 BLOCK
stays terminal); on a recoverable tool failure feed the tool's arg-schema back into
context so the model self-corrects instead of repeating a malformed call.
- tools: split deletion out of file_write into a separate, explicitly-named file_delete
tool — a model can no longer delete a file by getting a write-mode parameter wrong.
- server: add GET /metrics/tool-reliability — per-model tool-call validity from the
event log (measurement groundwork for capability-aware routing).
- docs: update AGENTS.md across kernel, tools, server, inference.

[[models]] config (ModelConfig/ModelsSettings) parsed by ConfigLoader;
InfrastructureModule.createModelManager + modelConfigToDescriptor; Main.kt
managed boot path spawns the default llama-server when [[models]] is present
(static [[providers]] path preserved when absent) and kills it on shutdown.
Plan: docs/plans/2026-05-31-model-lifecycle-management.md (slice 1 of 5).
When a user sends input, embed it, query L3 across all sessions, dedup
against in-session turns, and record the retrieval as an event so replay
is deterministic (invariant #9). Hits land in RouterState; context
injection follows in a later slice.
- Add L3MemoryRetrievedEvent + L3RetrievedHit (registered in eventModule)
- RouterState.lastRetrievedMemory + reducer case; RouterTurn carries turnId
- RouterConfig.retrievalK (default 5)
- Harden L3 write path: runCatching + visible logging, cancellation
re-thrown; event append stays ahead of the L3 write
- Warn prominently when the non-durable in_memory L3 backend is selected
Adds [router.embedder] and [router.l3] sections to CorrexConfig with
backend selectors. Ships LlamaCppEmbedder that hits llama.cpp's
/embedding endpoint (handles OpenAI-compatible, simple, and array
response shapes; validates dimension). InfrastructureModule gains
createEmbedderFromConfig and createL3MemoryStoreFromConfig that
dispatch on backend value.
Defaults preserve current behavior (noop embedder + in-memory L3).
Switching to "llamacpp" / "turbovec" is a config-only change — no code
edits required. For turbovec backend, the bundled python sidecar
script is extracted from classpath to ~/.cache/correx/ on first use.
Implements the full conversational router facade: RouterState, RouterReducer,
RouterProjector, RouterRepository, RouterContextBuilder, RouterFacade, protocol
types, WebSocket wiring, infrastructure factory, and deterministic test suite.
Also fixes spec divergences found in post-implementation review:
- Add SteeringNote domain object to core:context (epic prerequisite)
- Rename RouterFacade.handleChat → onUserInput per spec interface contract
- Add in-memory ConcurrentHashMap conversation history to DefaultRouterFacade
- Make RouterRepository.getRouterState suspend
- Rename RouterConfig.keepLast → conversationKeepLast, fix defaults (6, 4096)
- Refactor InfrastructureModule.createRouterFacade to self-assemble internally
- Fix FileReadTool: allowedPaths was dead constructor param (@SuppressUnusedParameter);
now stored as private val and enforced in validateRequest
- Disable koverVerify on modules tested via testing/ submodules or with
hardware/integration dependencies (24 modules); build gate now passes clean
New core:artifacts-store interface + infrastructure/artifacts-cas
implementation: segment files + SQLite index, Blake3 hashing,
group-commit fsync via flushBefore, recovery tail-scan, manual
compactor, and oldest-first disk-cap evictor.
Inference events now carry promptArtifactId / responseArtifactId;
orchestrators put bytes before emitting. SqliteEventStore wraps
its txn in artifactStore.flushBefore so segment data is fsynced
before the event commit, making the crash window non-corrupting
(TailScanner re-indexes orphan tail records on reopen).
Compactor and evictor are mutually exclusive via maintenanceMutex.
Step 9 (cloud sync) deferred to a later epic.
See docs/reviews/2026-05-18-cas-steps-1-8-review.md for the final
review.
