/** * Mental-model bootstrap, caching, and rendering for the Hindsight backend. * * Mental models are persisted, named summaries on the Hindsight server. They * are populated by a background reflect at create time and refreshed * automatically when consolidation runs (`refresh_after_consolidation: true`). * * This module: * 1. **Seeds** a small, curated set of mental models on first session boot * for a given bank (idempotent: never modifies an existing model). * 2. **Loads** the seeded + any operator-curated models into a cached * `` block that the backend splices into developer * instructions on every prompt rebuild — bypassing per-turn recall HTTP * cost for stable knowledge. * 3. **Renders** content blocks with anti-feedback wrappers so the LLM * treats them as background knowledge, not as commands (mirrors the * `` warning). * * Tag discipline (foot-gun): * The Hindsight refresh path filters source memories with `all_strict` tag * matching against the model's tags. A seed tagged with something we never * write at retain time will refresh empty. Therefore seed tags MUST be a * subset of the tags actually attached by `retainSession` / `enqueueRetain` * for the active scoping mode. In `per-project-tagged` we only carry * `project:`; do not invent new tag axes here without first wiring the * retain side to emit them. * * Seed tags are baked from `seeds.json` plus, for `projectTagged: true` * entries, the active scope's `retainTags` (i.e. `project:`). Untagged * seeds (e.g. `user-preferences`) read every memory in the bank — the * reflect call applies no tag filter when `tags` is empty. * * Seed lifecycle is **create-only**: changes to `source_query`, `tags`, * `max_tokens`, or `trigger` in `seeds.json` will NOT propagate to existing * models on the server. Operators who want a structural change must * `/memory mm refresh ` (content-only) or `/memory mm delete ` * followed by a re-seed. */ import { logger } from "@oh-my-pi/pi-utils"; import type { BankScope } from "./bank"; import type { HindsightApi, MentalModelListResponse, MentalModelMode, MentalModelSummary, MentalModelTrigger, } from "./client"; import type { HindsightScoping } from "./config"; import seedsData from "./seeds.json" with { type: "json" }; interface RawSeed { id: string; name: string; source_query: string; scopes: HindsightScoping[]; projectTagged: boolean; trigger?: { mode?: MentalModelMode; refresh_after_consolidation?: boolean }; max_tokens?: number; extra_tags?: string[]; } interface SeedsFile { seeds: RawSeed[]; } const BUILTIN_SEEDS: RawSeed[] = (seedsData as SeedsFile).seeds; export interface MentalModelSeed { id: string; name: string; sourceQuery: string; tags: string[]; maxTokens?: number; trigger?: MentalModelTrigger; } /** * Resolve the seed list that applies to the active bank scope.
