[router.narration] model_id selects which provider handles narration turns
instead of generic capability routing — lets a small/fast model own narration
while the main model keeps CHAT/STEERING.
- NarrationSettings.modelId parsed from TOML, threaded via RouterConfig
.narrationModelId into DefaultRouterFacade.narrate (3-arg route)
- DefaultInferenceRouter: exact-id match against healthy providers, with a
post-select health check; any miss logs WARN and falls back to capability
routing (never fails the narration turn)
- onUserInput unchanged — only narrate uses the pinned model (tested)
Replace the placeholder "You are a routing assistant" one-liner with two
purpose-written prompts: a conversational prompt that frames the router as
correx's operator-facing interface to the event-sourced engine (grounded in
workflow state, no fabrication, concise, steering-aware), and a dedicated
narrator prompt for buildNarrationContext that asks for one or two present-tense
sentences naming the stage and outcome.
The longer protected frame shifted token budgets, so the two L2 eviction tests
now size their budget from the measured protected-frame + per-entry cost instead
of hard-coded magic numbers, making them robust to prompt length.
Two issues surfaced during live QA once workflows began progressing past the
first stage:
1. Narration prompts went out with no user message, so the chat template
rejected them ("No user query found in messages"). buildNarrationContext
filed the trigger instruction (a user turn) under ContextLayer.L0, and
PromptRenderer folds every L0 entry into the system message regardless of
role. Move the trigger to L1 so it renders as the user turn.
2. TransitionExecutedEvent was emitted after the next stage had already run:
executeMove called enterStage (which executes the stage) before advanceStage
(which emits the transition), so the event log showed a stage running before
the event marking entry into it. Emit the transition before entering.
Adds a regression test asserting a rendered narration prompt carries a user
message.
Tool-calling loops were rendered as all-assistant-calls-then-all-tool-results
with the original task last, causing the model to re-issue the same tool call
indefinitely. Two stacked reorderings caused it:
- DefaultContextPackBuilder grouped entries by sourceType for per-type
compression, discarding a,t,a,t interleaving.
- PromptRenderer forced L1 (the live user turn) to render last, pushing the
task after the entire transcript.
- SessionOrchestrator's tool loop re-fed currentContext.layers.values.flatten()
(grouped by layer) each round, compounding the scramble.
Add a chronological `ordinal` to ContextEntry, stamped by the builder from
input order and restored after grouping/compression (the compressor preserves
entry identity, so ordinals survive). PromptRenderer now orders non-system
messages by ordinal, with the old L1-last layer priority kept only as a
tiebreak so router chat (ordinal 0) is unchanged. The orchestrator keeps a
running ordered accumulator instead of reading back the grouped pack.
Adds builder + renderer ordering regression tests.
- Add NarrationTrigger(kind, instruction) model to core:router
- Add RouterContextBuilder.buildNarrationContext: minimal ContextPack
(system + workflow status + L2 + trigger instruction); excludes
conversationHistory and L3 recalled memory
- Add RouterFacade.narrate: emits RouterNarrationEvent with content,
latencyMs, tokensUsed; skips event on blank inference; never writes
ChatTurnEvent or l3MemoryStore.store
- Add RouterNarrationTest covering all acceptance criteria
- Add narrate default to RouterContextBuilder interface so existing
anonymous test stubs compile without a stub override
ChatTurnEvent gains nullable latencyMs and tokensUsed fields (defaults preserve
backward-compat; legacy JSON without them deserializes cleanly). emitChatTurn
accepts optional metrics; the ROUTER emit site passes inferenceResponse values
through; the USER emit site leaves both null.
Fix broken stage-summary interpolation ($payload.stageId rendered the event's toString()). RouterL2Entry gains reason + steeringNotes; the reducer folds SteeringNoteAddedEvent into pendingSteeringNotes and harvests them into the completing stage's L2 entry, then clears (adr-0003 §4, pure field extraction, zero inference). RouterContextBuilder renders summary + reason + steering.
TurboVec persists vectors via the sidecar but kept entry metadata
(sessionId/turnId/text) only in an in-memory map, so restarting with
backend=turbovec silently dropped every query hit (the id→metadata
lookup missed). Rebuild that map from the ChatTurnEvent log at startup.
- RehydratableL3MemoryStore: capability interface for stores whose
vectors persist independently of the JVM. TurboVec implements it;
InMemory deliberately does not (its vectors are volatile too).
- L3MetadataRehydrator replays ChatTurnEvents into the metadata map.
No embedder: the query path never reads entry.vector, so vectors
stay in the sidecar and metadata comes from the event log (the
source of truth, invariant #1). Short-circuits for non-rehydratable
backends before scanning the log.
- Wired into Main before the server accepts queries; no sidecar spawn.
Backfill of never-embedded history (needs the embedder) is a separate
follow-up. The in_memory non-durability warning already exists.
Record L3 retrieval as an event carrying hit text (invariant #9), then
rebuild router state and inject recalled memories as a SYSTEM L3 layer in
the context pack. Apply token budget: protected frames (L0 immutable +
current user turn) are never dropped; honest budgetUsed is reported and
'BudgetExceeded' is flagged in appliedStrategies when they overflow. L1/L2
fit newest-first so oldest entries drop first. Emit ContextTruncatedEvent
when entries are dropped. L3MemoryRetrievedEvent is emitted on every CHAT
turn (empty hits reset recalled memory).
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
Introduces Embedder contract in core:inference with a NoopEmbedder
default (zero vector) and wires both Embedder and L3MemoryStore into
DefaultRouterFacade. Each ChatTurnEvent emission now embeds the turn
content and writes a corresponding L3MemoryEntry, so cross-session
memory is captured at the source of truth (the event emission point).
InfrastructureModule defaults to NoopEmbedder + InMemoryL3MemoryStore
so the system runs without an external embedding model or vector store
wired. The TurboVec adapter stays unwired for now; switching to it is
a configuration concern (Epic 12 config layer).
Also gitignores apps/tui/logs/ (Kotlin TUI runtime logs, pre-Go rewrite).
Adds ChatTurnEvent (role USER|ROUTER) so router conversation history
survives restart and is rebuilt from the event log via projection,
restoring Hard Invariant #1 for the CHAT path. Both CHAT and STEERING
now emit user + router turn events; STEERING additionally keeps its
existing SteeringNoteAddedEvent so the structured directive record is
preserved alongside the conversation turns.
RouterFacade drops the in-memory ConcurrentHashMap of histories and
rebuilds state through the repository after each emission. Reducer
appends turns to conversationHistory. ChatTurnEvent is registered in
eventModule.
P4-1: Wire steering to actually work (advisory-only):
- RouterFacade emits SteeringNoteAddedEvent via event store in STEERING mode
- SessionOrchestrator reads steering notes from event store and includes them
as ContextEntry objects (sourceType=steeringNote) in stage context packs
- Delete dead SteeringNote data class; single vocabulary = SteeringNoteAddedEvent
- Add optional validateSteering callback to DefaultRouterFacade for future
ValidationPipeline wiring (avoids cross-core dependency)
- Update RouterFacadeTest to assert event emission
P4-2: Router FACE — move hardcoded generation config:
- Add GenerationConfig field to RouterConfig with same defaults
- RouterFacade uses config.generationConfig instead of inline literals
- (Remaining P4-2 items: conversation persistence and coordination
semantics are design decisions requiring ADRs, deferred)
P2-1: Guard SessionId NPE with safe-call in SessionsReducer
P2-2: Remove 16 dead event classes + reducer branches; replace with live orchestration events in tests
P2-3: Standardize ChatInput divergences — guard CancelSession, single-arg ProtocolError
P2-4: Remove dead TuiToolRecord.diff and ToolDisplayStatus.REQUESTED
P2-5: Remove dead streamLive from SessionEventBridge
P2-6: Extract SessionsReducerContext data class for 6+ param method
P2-7: Replace StageId("none") sentinel with TypeId.NONE
P2-9: Add TypeId.random() factory on all type-alias IDs
P2-10: Add KDoc on schemaVersion documenting reserved-for-migration
P2-8: Verified RouterReducer string-template already correct (TypeId value class toString)
- Fix duplicate inference requests after approval resume by registering orchestrator
jobs in activeSessionJobs (ServerModule.launchSessionRun), so the guard in the
OrchestrationResumedEvent subscription prevents spurious duplicate resume.
- Replace blocking Files.readString in computeToolPreview with withContext(Dispatchers.IO)
by making the function suspend — no blocking I/O on the coroutine dispatcher.
- Guard orderedIds.add() in rebuildTools against duplicate invocation IDs on replayed
ToolInvocationRequestedEvent to prevent duplicate tool records in snapshots.
- Add unified-diff preview for file_write tools: computeToolPreview reads existing
file and generates ---/+++ diff before emitting ApprovalRequestedEvent.
- Render diff preview with color coding in ApprovalSurface (@@ yellow, +/- green/red).
- Include current-stage tool records in SessionSnapshot via rebuildTools event replay.
- Fix RouterContextBuilderTest: recursive buildPack helper and 2 tests using class-level
builder instead of their local builder instances (conversationKeepLast mismatch).
- Add suspend keyword to RouterFacadeTest mock, fix buildPack recursion.
- GlobalStreamHandler.handleCreateGrant validates scope (SESSION/STAGE)
and sends ProtocolError to client on validation failure instead of
silent log.warn + drop.
- Derive event stageId directly from GrantScope type, removing
redundant stageIdForEvent tuple.
- SessionOrchestrator integrates ApprovalEngine to check active grants
before requesting user approval for T2+ tool calls.
- ContextEntry gains EntryRole (SYSTEM/USER/ASSISTANT/TOOL) field for
proper chat message role mapping.
- RouterContextBuilder.build is now suspend; uses Tokenizer for
accurate token estimation with fallback to character-based estimate.
- LlamaCppInferenceProvider maps EntryRole to ChatMessage role instead
of heuristic layer-based inference.
StoredEvent gains sessionSequence: Long (per-session monotonic); existing
sequence field becomes the global monotonic cursor across the entire store.
SqliteEventStore allocates both counters inside the same BEGIN IMMEDIATE
transaction and emits to a global MutableSharedFlow after commit.
InMemoryEventStore mirrors this with an AtomicLong global counter and a
suspend-on-overflow SharedFlow. EventStore interface gains subscribeAll()
and lastGlobalSequence(). Contract tests updated and extended to cover
global-sequence and cross-session subscribeAll invariants.
- fixed the tool overlay in tui.
- fixed tool calling - added schemas.
- getting all sessionIds via event store.
- instead of sending all events on the replay - there's a new way for replaying.
- session snapshot is now a thing getting sent for previously created sessions.
- added logging to important parts.
- revert workflowId from WorkflowCompletedEvent.
fixed detekt issues where possible.
fixed disttar failing build because tools is added twice in the server module.
added workflowId where required.
fixed some tests not being recognized because of runBlocking without explicit return type.
formatting + imports.
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
Deletes 21 Module.kt scaffolding objects that were never wired into any DI
registry. Removes unused imports across 8 production and 3 test files.
Restores StageExecutor, CyclePolicyResolver, PolicyValidation, and
ReplayContractTest — these are deferred features, not dead code.
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.
