CI was a workflow that could not run its own tests: pytest is not a dependency of anything, so a fresh clone fails with "No module named pytest". Test tooling now lives in the backend's dev extra, so CI and a new contributor install the same tools, and ruff is pinned there instead of drifting as a bare version in a workflow step. backup, restore and doctor move the store. Backup uses SQLite's own online API so a running server is safe, and the manifest records the schema version, row counts, sha256 and size read back from the copy. Restore verifies the digest, integrity_check, required tables and schema age before it touches the live file, and keeps what it replaces as .before-restore. Doctor separates broken from degraded. On the 906 MB baseline store (165,973 atoms) it reports no problems and one true warning: 21,362 picture atoms with no CLIP snapshot configured, so those atoms are findable only by the text already on them. The first version called that store healthy because it only complained about paths that were set and missing, never about a sense the store needs and never had. AGPL-3.0-only, because PyMuPDF is dual-licensed AGPL-or-commercial and the repository is public. A permissive license needs the Artifex commercial license bought first; the README says so rather than hiding it. Gates: 253 tests pass; ruff clean repo-wide (17 errors at HEAD); mypy unchanged from HEAD on touched files; pyright 0 errors on the new files; backup 4.0s and restore 2.8s on real data with counts verified equal.

Ely-Eye
Ely-Eye is a local multimodal context operating system built on Qwen3.5-9B. It runs on a single consumer GPU and gives a small model three tiers of context: a 262K native window, a 1.01M extended window, and a 100M-token memory capsule it can retrieve from, cite, and recall across sessions.
Under the hood it ingests PDFs, screenshots, video, and code into Evidence Atoms, packs them into a Context Cartridge, retrieves with sparse and Qwen embedding search, runs Qwen3.5-9B with trained LoRA adapters, and checks every answer with a verifier. A fifteen-check proof suite exercises the whole thing against the live model, so a real run can be told apart from a fabricated one.
The landing site lives at https://model.elydora.com/
(its source is under ely-eye-web/, which this repository does not track).
Requirements
- Windows with an NVIDIA GPU and CUDA. Training and the proof suite were built on an RTX 4090; deployment targets a 16GB card such as an RTX 4080.
- The extended-context runtimes (SGLang, vLLM, KTransformers, llama.cpp) are optional and run under WSL. The default Windows runtime uses Transformers and needs none of them.
Run it locally
.\scripts\install.ps1 # virtual env, PyTorch + CUDA, Transformers, PEFT, bitsandbytes
.\scripts\download-models.ps1 # Qwen3.5-9B, the 0.8B planner, Qwen3-VL-Embedding-8B
.\scripts\serve-backend.ps1 # API on http://127.0.0.1:8765
.\scripts\serve-frontend.ps1 # dashboard on http://127.0.0.1:5173
When ELY_EYE_ADAPTER_DIR is empty, the runtime picks the latest trained
HME-Core-LoRA adapter for Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B on its own; ely-eye status prints
which adapter it resolved.
For the 262K and 1.01M extended-context profiles, set up the Linux runtimes once and launch one:
.\scripts\setup-linux-runtimes.ps1
.\scripts\launch-sglang-live.ps1 # 262K
.\scripts\launch-sglang-extreme.ps1 # 1.01M via YaRN
Core commands
.\.venv\Scripts\ely-eye.exe status
.\.venv\Scripts\ely-eye.exe ingest C:\path\to\package --cartridge-name project
.\.venv\Scripts\ely-eye.exe hashhop --kind visual --hops 2 --token-equivalent 262144
.\.venv\Scripts\ely-eye.exe proof-suite
Every command has an HTTP equivalent under /api/..., and the dashboard shows
the same state: Adapter Matrix, Proof Suite, Memory Map, Cache Trace.
Fine-tuning
Training runs real BF16 LoRA updates on the GPU through Unsloth-patched Transformers, PEFT, and bitsandbytes with paged 8-bit AdamW. Each run writes the PEFT adapter alongside a manifest, a per-step training trace, a summary, and a proof file that records dataset and weight hashes, per-step loss, optimizer-update norms, and the CUDA/BF16 environment.
The adapter set:
HME-Core-LoRA Qwen3.5-9B attention/MLP
HME-Vision-LoRA Qwen3.5-9B visual projector and selected vision layers
HME-TTT-VL Qwen3.5-9B mutable MLP and visual adapter
HME-Visual-MTP Qwen3.5-9B draft-head LoRA
HME-Router Qwen3.5-0.8B context planner
HME-Retrieval Qwen3-VL-Embedding-8B contrastive retrieval adapter
Proof suite
ely-eye proof-suite runs fifteen checks against the live model and writes the
evidence under .ely_eye/data/eval_proofs/. Among them:
- real CUDA BF16 LoRA training — changed weight hashes, nonzero optimizer updates, per-step loss
- the runtime loading the model and adapter and generating a cited answer
- Visual HashHop: multi-hop visual addressing the model has to actually solve, with no OCR shortcut
- the 100M-token memory capsule committing to a reproducible Memory DNA
- the Visual Contradiction Lens localizing cross-version drift (design-token, layout, typography, copy, visual-code, temporal) at >=80% recall with no false positives
- standard benchmark samples (MMMU-Pro, OCRBench, and others) scored against ground truth

MCP server for coding agents
ely-eye-mcp/ is a local Model Context Protocol server that exposes the
.ely_eye memory store to coding agents such as Codex and Claude Code. One
command builds a native Go binary (or downloads a prebuilt one), installs it
under .ely_eye/bin/, and registers it with both clients. No Docker.
Windows:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\ely-eye-mcp\install.ps1 -Client both
Linux and macOS:
bash ./ely-eye-mcp/install.sh --client both
The agent then has nine read-only tools over the live memory — status,
cartridge listing and detail, Evidence Atom search and fetch, evidence-pack
compilation, proof suites, and HashHop proofs. The server opens the database
read-only and never writes to it. The same installer works against any
.ely_eye store, not only this repository. See ely-eye-mcp/README.md for the
full tool list and the release pipeline.
