The dense leg used to be a pair of files next to the database: a full .npy
re-encoded from every atom, re-normalized on every query, and stale the moment
anything was ingested. It is now a vec0 table inside the same SQLite file,
written in the same transaction as the atom it describes, so a memory is
queryable the instant it is remembered.
- vector_index.py maintains the table; the writer inserts, the reader never
rebuilds. A repair scan (ely-eye build-dense-index) catches what a crash hid,
and it is not on the search path.
- Ranking stays in the engine; every boundary (closed, retired, not yet true,
another holder's private memory, the mounted cartridge) is checked once against
the atoms table afterwards. A visibility subquery inside the KNN cost 48.9s on
153,857 vectors; the same check over 200 candidates costs 0.2ms. When the
boundaries reject enough candidates the ask widens once, never twice.
- The Go mirror and the web panel carry the new status fields.
- bench/dense_scale.py and bench/quant_probe.py measure the leg at corpus size;
bench/scale_check.py now works on a copy so the frozen baseline stays frozen.
Measured on the frozen 165,973-atom corpus. bench/reports/DENSE.md, QUANT.md and
SCALE.md carry the numbers and the machine they were taken on.
Gates: 285 pytest, ruff clean, pyright 0 on the touched files, go build/vet/test
and gofmt clean, frontend build and eslint clean. mypy is 25 findings against the
parent's 24: the new one is "Skipping analyzing sqlite_vec: missing library stubs",
the same class as the two existing qwen_vl_utils lines, and the repo keeps no
type: ignore anywhere.
A review of 5289cb4 found the ASR report was not honest arithmetic:
- "audio s" was the last segment's end, not the media length. The real
container durations are 88.93 / 109.18 / 60.07 s, so the report understated
the audio by 48 s and every speed cell was wrong.
- Decoding was unpinned, so a rerun was a new draw: WER moved 0.242 to 0.262
and one video moved 0.278 to 0.583. Greedy single-temperature decoding with
no carry-over now answers the same way twice, and the harness runs the pass
twice to show it.
- The report claimed its WER was an upper bound. It is not a bound in either
direction: a caption that drops words also hides words the model dropped.
The denominators (201 / 296 / 36 reference words) are printed instead.
- "66 speech atoms" was bench-side arithmetic. The store now says 80 audio
atoms carrying 563 word timestamps, read back after a real ingest.
Same silent-skip bug in a second place: a text file over max_text_file_bytes
returned an empty batch with no reason. It raises FileTooLarge with its size,
and a walk records that refusal like any other.
Also fixed from the same review: the Go search tool never published the audio
modality, cli_senses carried a second json_dump, the no-audio-track branch had
a test that fed it markdown, _seconds was an empty wrapper, and the docstring
quoted a speed no report measured.
Gate root cause: bench/tests imports the bench package by name with no root
conftest, so bare pytest could not collect it at all. pythonpath in pyproject
fixes both launch styles; 212 tests pass either way.
Verification: 212 passed (bare pytest and python -m pytest), ruff clean,
mypy clean on the six touched files with a cold cache, repo-wide mypy 24/6
unchanged from HEAD, pyright 0 errors on the touched files, go build/vet/test
and gofmt clean.
An audio file used to produce no memory at all: _ingest_file returned an empty
batch for any suffix it did not know, with no log and no reason. It now raises
UnsupportedFile when you name the file and records a SkippedFile when it was a
directory walk, so a refusal is visible either way.
Speech is measured, not promised. Over 210.5 seconds of real Video-MME audio,
faster-whisper-tiny on CPU int8 transcribed at 51x realtime and reached word
error rate 0.242 against community subtitles nobody here wrote (a caption track
drops words a transcript keeps, so that is an upper bound). 66 speech atoms now
carry 550 word-level timestamps, 0 words out of order and 0 starting before
their own segment. The snapshot is 78.2 MB, under the 500 MB cap, and the report
is bench/reports/ASR.md.
Two library facts were measured rather than assumed. faster-whisper's own audio
loader is broken against PyAV 19 (av.open got an unexpected keyword
'metadata_errors') and it declares av with no version bound, so asr.decode_audio
decodes with PyAV directly and hands the model a float32 array instead of
pinning an old av with no cp314 wheel. And av.Error does not exist on PyAV 19 -
the real base is av.error.FFmpegError - so that is the only thing caught and my
own ValueErrors keep their messages.
Files over the 500-line rule were split rather than excused: ingestion.py (748)
into ingestion_common / ingestion_media / ingestion_repository / ingestion, and
cli.py (544) into cli_senses plus cli_common, following the cli_transactive
register pattern. MediaIngest declares _source_record abstract, so a half-wired
host fails at construction instead of returning None.
Verification: 207 tests pass; ruff clean on the 13 touched files; mypy clean on
them, and repo-wide mypy fell from 29 errors to 24 (5 fixed, none added);
pyright reports 0 errors on the touched files.
