feat(adaptive): tinyflows-adaptive — select or author, run anywhere, judge, learn - #55
Merged
Merged
Conversation
An adaptive layer that ingests a prompt, selects a stored workflow or authors
one, runs it on the engine, judges the result against evidence, and learns.
Why a separate crate rather than a change to the engine: a CompiledWorkflow is
{ graph } and nothing at run time rewires a node, the engine is persistence-free,
and it has no concept of a goal. So it can repeat — the loop node is real — but
it cannot re-decide. Re-deciding changes the graph BETWEEN runs, from evidence,
against a record of what has been ruled out. Two shapes, two packages, and a
merge from upstream stays a merge.
The rule the split enforces: the engine may know about one run; anything that
spans runs lives here.
This commit is the contracts, ported from medulla-v2 where each was arrived at
by a failure rather than by design — the comments record which:
* Blocker is a fixed vocabulary because the loop branches on it, and an
unrecognised value coerces to a CONTINUABLE one: 'goal_not_meet', one letter
wrong, used to end a run at attempt 3 of 12.
* Verdict.advanced exists because a counter cannot tell converging from
spinning — two runs were killed at 7 of 10 and climbing while a third
thrashed 10 to 2 to 1, all three reporting goal_not_met.
* Verdict carries no plan-shaped field: the judge runs context-poor and does
not know what has been ruled out, so proposing the next move is not its job.
* min_attempts gates the stall rule because early attempts look flat while a
run is still orienting.
* tokens: 0 means no cap, not a cap of zero.
Approach has three variants and the third is what makes this a loop rather than
a router: when no stored procedure fits, one is written.

Everything that spans runs: what was tried across attempts, what generalised out of that, and which stored procedures have earned their place. A separate trait rather than more methods on the engine's WorkflowStore, for two reasons that are really one. That store is upstream's type and a merge should never contend with our additions; and the boundary this project rests on — the engine may know about one run, anything that spans runs is ours — is worth having in the type system rather than in a document. Two backends behind features, because the choice is the host's: sqlite for a single process, mongo for a hosted deployment. Neither compiles unless asked for. Both are checked by ONE public conformance suite, so "it works on sqlite" cannot quietly mean "it works only on sqlite" — and a host writing a third backend runs the identical cases. Decisions worth naming: * score_workflow/workflow_score are the rung medulla-v2 never had. Nothing there moves a workflow's applied/helped, so its promotion gate has no evidence to read. Scores live here rather than on WorkflowRecord: a score is a fact that spans runs, the record is a fact about one document. * Both counters are kept rather than a rate. 1/1 and 40/40 are the same rate and are not the same evidence. * Rows order by an explicit `seq` column, never by timestamp. Two attempts finishing in the same second is ordinary, and a tie makes the exclusion list read back in an arbitrary order. * Mongo increments with $inc on an upsert rather than read-modify-write: several loops may finish the same workflow at once, and a lost increment is a promotion gate reading the wrong number. * An unknown episode or workflow answers empty/zero, never an error. A loop that cannot read its own history must degrade to a first-time run, not stop. * sqlite does synchronous work behind the async trait deliberately — one short statement against a local file, and the trait means moving to spawn_blocking later costs one file.

Prompt in, runnable graph out. Two paths with one rule between them: prefer a stored workflow, author only when nothing fits. That ordering is the economic argument of the whole loop — reusing a procedure that has already worked costs one small selection call, reinventing it costs a full authoring call AND throws away every score it had accumulated. Neither path names a model or a provider. Both go through the engine's own LlmProvider, so the host chooses who answers and supplies the credential as an opaque `conn` reference this crate never inspects. That is the crate's core design constraint, not a preference. Decisions worth naming: * Declining is a first-class answer. A model pushed to always pick will pick the nearest thing, and a near-miss workflow runs to completion producing confident work for a job nobody wanted — more expensive than authoring, not less. The prompt says so; the parser treats null and an unknown id alike. * An id that is not on the offered list reads as a decline rather than a store lookup, so a hallucinated name cannot become a read for a workflow nobody offered. * Selection answers with an id; `bind` loads the graph and checks every required input. Returning the choice unbound would hand the engine an empty graph, which compiles to nothing and reads as the work failing. The model is confident about inputs it never found in the goal, so the cheap deterministic check catches what the expensive one asserted. * The authoring catalogue is GENERATED from `catalog::all_contracts()`, never described from memory. A field this file could get wrong cannot exist, and a node kind the engine gains appears without this file being touched. * An authored graph is validated before it is returned, with every failure at once rather than the first. An invalid graph leaving intake becomes a run-time failure attributed to the work instead of to the authoring. * Candidates carry both counters, never a rate — the model is being asked to weigh exactly the difference between 1/1 and 40/40. * Disabled workflows and ones already tried this episode are never offered. Without the second, attempt two re-selects what attempt one failed on. The reply reader copes with three host shapes — a bare object, an OpenAI-style envelope, and JSON inside a text field with prose around it — because the alternative is a crate that works against one provider. Eight end-to-end tests drive `decide` against a scripted model and a real file store, covering both paths and every refusal above. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
An authored graph could name a worker that does not exist, a tool slug that does not resolve, or an address this machine may not reach, and nothing caught it: `validate_all` is structural. Every one of those is enforced at RUN time, so the graph saved cleanly, validated cleanly, and failed the first time it mattered — usually overnight, to nobody watching. HostFacts is the grounding an author most needs and cannot derive. It is read from the host's configuration, rendered into the authoring prompt beside the generated node catalogue, and checked again after — because a prompt is a request and a check is a fact. A model will name a worker that does not exist however clearly the list was given. The field set is taken from what medulla's own `workflow_host` collects, which is broader than the obvious four. Two of its facts change a rule rather than a value, and neither is inferable: * `default_worker: None` makes `agent_ref` MANDATORY on every agent node, so the same graph is valid on one host and broken on another. * `max_loop_iterations` is a ceiling a graph's own `max_iterations` sits under — set it higher and the loop silently stops earlier than the graph says. Also `shell_available: Some(false)` for a Windows host, where a POSIX shell is refused rather than emulated, and `trigger_kinds`, because a host that stores nine kinds while firing one should say so. `notes` carries prose beside the data, deliberately. `default_worker: null` is a fact; "every agent node must name config.agent_ref" is the instruction, and the model needs the second. The load-bearing default: AN ABSENT FACT MEANS UNKNOWN, NEVER FORBIDDEN. Every empty collection and every None disables its own check. The opposite reading turns an unconfigured host into one that can run nothing, with every authored graph failing for a reason the operator never set. Three gates now, ordered by cost: validate_all (structural, free), then HostFacts::check (our reading of the config), then HostPolicy::check_graph (the host's own, which may know things we were not told). The new Unsupported error is distinct from Invalid because the graph is fine and the machine is the constraint — which is what the retry has to be told. A URL built from an expression is left to run time: refusing it would refuse the correct way to write a parameterised request. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Phases 4 and 5 of the plan. Intake decided how to attempt the goal and the engine carried it out; this reads what came back and produces the three things that outlive the attempt: a ledger row, a score, and — sometimes — a repaired copy of the workflow. judge.rs — mechanical evidence first, a model second. The engine's own Diagnosis says deterministically that a binding resolved to null or that half the graph never executed; those are facts, they cost nothing, and a model asked to weigh them will sometimes decide the run went fine anyway. Three verdicts never reach a model at all: a parked approval is NeedsInput, a cancelled run is ExternalWait (it did not fail, it was stopped), and nothing-ran-nothing-changed is MissingEvidence and terminal, because a retry with the same inputs produces the same nothing. The judge is deliberately context-poor — it does not see the ledger, so it cannot propose what to try next, because it does not know what has already been ruled out. Unverifiable null bindings are dropped from the findings: the engine marks an expression it could not evaluate even in principle, and reporting those buries the ones that are real. mod.rs — close() records the row WHATEVER the verdict, before anything is decided. A run that failed and was not written down is a run the next attempt will repeat, so the write is most valuable when the news is bad. Then it scores the workflow that ran, which is the rung medulla-v2 never had: without it nothing distinguishes a procedure that has worked forty times from one that has never run, and the promotion gate has no evidence to read. A stand-down names which of the three reasons it was — terminal blocker, spent budget, or a stall — because collapsing them to "failed" loses the only thing a reader can act on. consolidate.rs — what a finished episode is worth remembering, ported from medulla-v2's CONSOLIDATOR_SYSTEM. Most episodes are worth nothing and keeping nothing is the expected answer. A lesson arrives with row numbers cited or it is dropped: a claim with no rows behind it is a guess, and a guess in the knowledge store is worse than nothing because it will be retrieved and believed. Consolidation cannot fail the episode — it runs after the outcome is settled, so every error path returns an empty list and the signature has no Result. repair.rs — a GraphOp batch when the graph itself is at fault. Three rules make it safe unattended. It is a variant, never an overwrite: the parent's score is built from every run it ever had, and editing in place destroys the only thing that could tell us whether the fix helped. It runs only when the diagnosis or the judge's attribution says the graph is suspect, checked mechanically before any inference — an agent that was wired correctly and simply did poor work does not get better by having its graph rewritten. And it refuses RenameNode: the op rewires edges but leaves every =nodes.<old_id> expression pointing at a node that no longer exists, so the graph validates and then runs quietly wrong. The variant id is derived from the parent plus a hash of the edits, so the same repair proposed twice converges on one workflow instead of filling the store. 92 tests. The integration suite covers what only shows up once a real ledger is written to: a failed attempt still leaves a row and still moves the score, the row it leaves is the one the exclusion list reads, and the mechanical verdicts are proved to skip the model by scripting it with no answers at all.
Two doc comments claimed the binding syntax was ={{ ... }}: CLAUDE.md's
description of bindings.rs, and the void node's note about why it emits no
binding diagnostics. The implementation never accepted that form.
is_expression is starts_with('='). The remainder is either a simple dotted path
walked segment by segment (=nodes.fetch.item.json.body) or a jq program
(=.items | length). Braces are neither: they fail is_simple_dotted_path, route
to jaq, fail to compile, and a failed program is Value::Null — so a config
written that way binds nothing and the node runs with an empty value while
reporting success. Measured against a live scope rather than reasoned about:
=nodes.fetch.item.json.body => "hello"
={{ nodes.fetch.item.json.body }} => null
=.nodes["fetch"].item.json.body => "hello"
Both docs corrected. Nothing in the engine changes — this was only ever wrong
on the page.
The adaptive crate's authoring prompt was written around this uncertainty: it
deliberately showed no example expression, because guessing the syntax at a
model is how you get a graph that validates and does nothing. It can now say
what the forms are, that there are no braces, and that the {json, text, raw}
envelope means agent/tool_call/http_request fields live under .json. That was
the open question blocking phase 3.
Phase 3, and deliberately the thinnest of the four. Intake decided what to run and closing decides what it meant; this only runs it. It holds no opinion, reads no history, and makes no decision the other two could make instead — the caller sequences intake -> run_attempt -> close itself, so each phase stays independently testable. Its one real job is that the engine returns a RunOutcome and the judge needs an Evidence, and the difference between those is where runs get misjudged. A run is observed, always. RunOutcome alone says the graph finished; it does not say a binding resolved to null, that an on_error policy swallowed a failure, or that half the nodes never executed. Those come from diagnose(), which needs the run's steps, which exist only if an observer was attached. A blank Diagnosis is not "nothing was wrong", it is "nobody looked" — and the judge's findings, the three mechanical verdicts and graph_is_suspect all read it, so an unobserved run silently disables repair. Which is why this does NOT use run_with_checkpointer, despite the plan naming it. That entry point installs a NoopObserver, so taking it costs the diagnosis and every gate above; the variant that keeps both also demands a journal. And what a checkpointer buys is durable resume, which this crate does not do — StopReason::Paused is not routed into checkpoint/resume upstream, and our retry is always a new run of a new graph, never engine::resume (which replays every node before the gate). Immediate cost, benefit for a path we declared out of scope. When parking is wired upstream it is a one-line swap. run_attempt never returns a Result. A graph that failed to compile or blew up mid-run still has to reach close() and leave a ledger row, or the exclusion list never learns it was tried and the next pass proposes it again in slightly different words. The error is folded into outcome.output under `error`, so bounded_evidence renders it to the judge with no special case, and the absent `nodes` key is exactly what the mechanical missing-evidence check reads. The Workspace trait is the third evidence source — what changed outside the run, which the engine cannot know. Two methods rather than one, because "what changed" is a comparison and needs a before: a single "what is dirty now" reading cannot separate this run's work from what was already there. That is also why it is a trait and not a closure — the mark taken before the run has to reach the reading taken after it. Both methods default to empty so a host that cannot say anything gets honest silence, and changed_since is called even when the run errored, because a run that broke half way still wrote what it wrote. 100 tests. The integration suite runs real graphs through the real engine — a mocked engine would be a mock of precisely the gap this layer exists to close. Two engine behaviours worth knowing, now in the field notes: the NoopObserver above, and that never_ran reports only agent/tool_call/http_request, since a routed-past transform is not a surprise worth warning about.
The loop decides and an engine executes, and those two may sit in one process or on opposite ends of a socket. `Runner` is the seam; nothing above it can tell which. `Local` runs the graph here, `Remote` relays it over a host-owned `Relay`, and both are literally the same two functions with a serialization boundary optionally between them: serve() -> RunReport -> into_ran(). There is no second path that could drift, and a test asserts the two produce identical outcome, diagnosis, failure and step count over a relay that really serializes. Steps cross the wire, not `output`. Measured rather than assumed: `output` has two keys, `nodes` and `run`, and `output.nodes` is a per-node map — but it carries no status, so a node whose error an on_error policy swallowed is indistinguishable from one that worked (the engine's own comment: the step's status and output are "the only place the message survives"). No duration, no null-binding diagnostics. A looped node collapses to one entry: a probe with a 5-iteration cap produced 10 steps and would have produced 1 key. And a run that returns Err has no `output` at all while its steps are all still there — 11 captured, including the failing one. That is the run most in need of triage. Diagnosis does not cross either. `diagnose` is a pure function of the graph and the steps and the loop already has the graph, so re-deriving it server-side is smaller and leaves nothing for the two sides to disagree about. Bounding is per node, at two budgets, because `bounded_within` is whole-value and non-recursive: hand it a map of twelve nodes where one returned 300 KB and it replaces the entire map with a truncated preview of the serialized string — every other node's output gone, not trimmed, gone. RECORD_BUDGET (256 KiB) bounds each step for the durable record; PROMPT_BUDGET (4 KiB) bounds each node again in the projection the judge reads. Two budgets is the pattern the engine's own doc describes; the fix was applying them at the right level. costUsd rides along from the start though nothing consumes it yet. The runner is the only thing that knows the number, and a column added later cannot distinguish a genuine zero from a retrofitted one. A runner that never answers is still an attempt. `Remote` synthesizes a report instead of propagating an error, and deliberately does NOT report an empty `changed`. Empty means "the host looked and saw nothing", and a run with no steps and an empty changed is settled mechanically as MissingEvidence — which is terminal. ExternalWait is terminal too (continuable() is only Unverified | GoalNotMet), so there is no safe blocker to pick and either choice would strand an episode permanently because a socket blipped. Saying plainly that the result is unknown routes it to the judge, which can reach a continuable verdict. A test drives that end to end and asserts the judge was actually asked. Nothing about the episode crosses: a runner sees one graph and its inputs, and a test asserts the serialized request contains no episode, lesson, ledger, approach signature or verdict. It cannot reconstruct what is being learned from it. 108 tests.
The knowledge plane was globally shared. `lessons()` took no scope and returned
every lesson; `consolidate()` calls it and renders all of them into the model's
prompt. A lesson's trigger and claim are free text written from one tenant's
episode and can name their repositories, paths and internals — so in a
multi-tenant service user B's planner was being shown user A's lessons
verbatim. Workflow scores and `WorkflowStore::list` were global too.
This is also a regression from the thing this crate was ported from: medulla-v2
has it. promotion.py filters `lesson.scope_key in (None, scope_key)` — a lesson
is either global or scoped to a family. I left it out.
The scope lives on the HANDLE rather than on every method, because the failure
it prevents is forgetting to pass it. `ledger.for_tenant("user-7")` at the edge
of a request is a thing a reviewer can see; six scope arguments threaded through
intake and closing is a thing that goes wrong once and leaks. Nothing in the
loop changed — not one call site takes a tenant argument.
One rule everywhere: writes go to this handle's bucket, reads return this
handle's bucket plus the global one. An unscoped handle's bucket IS global, so
a single-tenant deployment that never calls for_tenant reads back exactly what
it wrote and nothing changes for it. The global bucket is its own bucket, not a
union over every tenant.
`promote` stamps the handle's scope and ignores whatever the argument says. A
caller — or a model answer deserialized straight into a `Lesson` — must not be
able to publish into another tenant's bucket by asking, and there is a
conformance case that forges `scope_key` and asserts it was overwritten.
Episode rows were never at risk: they are keyed by episode and `tried()` reads
one episode at a time. It is lessons and workflow scores that needed the key.
Storage notes. `scope_key` is NOT NULL with '' for global rather than nullable:
it is part of the workflow-scores primary key, and SQLite does not treat two
NULLs as equal, so a nullable column there would let every global score insert
a fresh row instead of upserting one. Mongo stores a present empty string for
the same reason — the upsert filter has to match one document. A sqlite ledger
written before this has the columns missing rather than empty, and CREATE TABLE
IF NOT EXISTS will not add them, so there is a MIGRATIONS list whose statements
are expected to fail on every start after the first.
`conformance::run_tenants` ships alongside `run_all` and takes three handles
onto one store, because how a backend makes a scoped handle is its own
business. Five cases, each of which is a leak if it fails. Both backends run
it; the mongo one is behind the existing ADAPTIVE_MONGO_URI ignore.
114 tests.
repair() saves a variant rather than editing in place, which leaves a question nothing answered: after three repairs, which of the four near-identical graphs does a planner get to see? Showing all four is noise — their descriptions differ by a clause and choosing between them is guessing. Showing the newest is promotion by having been written, which is the exact thing the variant mechanism exists to avoid. So the catalogue now collapses each family to one row. The rule: a member is proven once it has MIN_TRIALS (3) runs behind it. Among the proven, the champion is the best help rate, ties broken by more trials — 40/40 beats 3/3 at the same rate because they are not the same evidence. When nothing is proven, the root keeps the position, so a fresh variant never displaces a 40/40 parent and spends other people's episodes discovering it was worse. There is deliberately no exploration policy, and the reason is worth writing down. A zero-trial variant can never become proven if it is never offered — the usual explore/exploit trap. It does not need solving here because of where variants come from: a variant is written by the closing pass of an episode whose parent just failed, and that parent is already in the episode's exclusion list. The next attempt of that same episode cannot pick the parent, so the variant gets its trials exactly where the evidence is most relevant, against the goal that broke the parent, without anyone writing a bandit. The subtle case, and the one with a test: when the champion is the workflow this episode just failed with, it is excluded — and the variant exists PRECISELY because the champion fell short. Dropping the family whole would hide the one graph written for this situation, so the collapse falls back to the family's best still-offerable member. Family scores are read for every member including the excluded ones, since a disabled parent is still evidence about its variants. Lineage lives in the ledger, not on WorkflowRecord — the usual rule: the engine's record is a fact about one document, and "this graph came from that one after it fell short" spans runs. Backends implement two trivial queries (parent_of, children_of) and the walk is a default trait method written and tested once. Both directions are bounded: the ledger is read on the hot path of every attempt, and a hang there stops everything, so a cycle written by a buggy caller costs a truncated answer rather than a loop that never returns. A conformance case writes that cycle deliberately. Two generations are one family — repair takes whatever ran as the parent, and what ran may itself be a variant, so a grandchild that resolved to its own family would be compared against nothing. 118 tests.
The last phase, and it closes the loop in both directions. Two different pasts reach a planner now, and conflating them is how a retry becomes a repeat. THIS EPISODE'S ROWS are specific: what was tried and why each fell short. EARLIER LESSONS are general: what generalised out of other episodes. Both render in `recall.rs` rather than at the two call sites, so select and author see the same history in the same words. Lessons were write-only. consolidate() has been keeping them since phase 5 and nothing ever read one — a knowledge store that costs money and returns nothing. retrieve() is the missing half: ordered by help rate, ties by id so a planner does not see a different five each attempt, capped at five. Constraints load wholesale past the cap, because a constraint is a limit no approach can cross and dropping one to make room for five strategies means proposing something already known to be impossible. The author had no guard at all. The exclusion list stops a SELECTION being repeated; nothing structural stops the author writing attempt two's graph again on attempt four, and it will, confidently, because nothing told it otherwise. Being shown attempt two is the guard. And a real bug found on the way: Approach::Authored signed as the constant string "authored". Every authoring attempt in an episode therefore had the same signature, tried() folded them to one entry, and attempt four could re-author attempt two word for word with nothing anywhere to notice. Authored now carries a fingerprint of the graph's runnable shape — nodes, edges and declared inputs, not the name or description, because two graphs that run identically and differ in prose are the same attempt. That makes two authored attempts distinguishable AND makes an identical re-author visible as the repeat it is. Inputs are in the digest because a graph that requires a value behaves differently from one that does not, even when every node matches. A first attempt is told neither: an empty "already tried" heading reads as a claim that something was, and a test asserts neither section appears. 123 tests. The plan is complete — 0 through 6.
Every type that crosses a process boundary now has a compile-time assertion
that it is still Serialize + DeserializeOwned. 25 of them, across four groups:
the execute contract, the engine model types nested inside it, the loop's own
persisted state, and what a device reports about itself. A derive quietly
dropped from any one of these is a runtime failure in a different repository,
which is the worst place to find out.
The second test pins something that will otherwise bite whoever writes the
other side. One payload carries two casing conventions:
{"attemptId": "...",
"graph": {"schema_version": 1,
"nodes": [{"type_version": 1, ...}],
"edges": [{"from_node": "...", "from_port": "..."}]},
"inputs": {}}
The envelope this crate added is camelCase. The engine's model types predate it
and use serde's default, so the graph inside stays snake_case. Neither is wrong
and changing either breaks something already shipped, so the seam is asserted
rather than tidied — a TypeScript relay that assumes one convention throughout
will silently produce a graph the engine refuses.
Diagnosis and its three record types are camelCase; LedgerRow, Lesson and the
contracts are snake_case. The full map is in the README.
Two tables — wire types with their casing, and the traits a host implements — plus the one gotcha worth stating out loud: a camelCase envelope carrying a snake_case graph. Also names the three types that are deliberately NOT serializable upstream, since that is the reason steps cross as StepRecord rather than the outcome being sent whole.
…ce tier
Three changes that answer one question: what is an instance, and what is a goal
run?
They are different lifetimes, and conflating them is the mistake worth naming.
A `Loop` is PER TENANT — scoped ledger, store, capabilities, host facts, runner,
budget — and building one costs a database pool and an HTTP client, so it is
built once and shared. A goal run is an EPISODE ID, not an object. Had the
instance been the goal run, config would be rebuilt per goal and a deploy would
lose every episode's counters while leaving its rows behind to look like
progress.
So episodes are now checkpointed. `Episode { id, goal, scope_key, status,
attempt, stalled, started_at, updated_at }` holds exactly what the rows cannot:
the goal, which is unrecoverable, and the stall count, which is recomputable
only if `advanced` is stored — so `advanced` is now a field on LedgerRow, and so
is `satisfied`, which was previously recoverable only by matching
`outcome == "satisfied"`, one reworded line away from silently reporting every
episode as failed.
close() no longer takes `stalled`. It reads and writes the episode record. The
original reasoning — two episodes sharing one closing layer must not share a
counter — was right about the problem and wrong about the fix: key it by
episode, do not make the caller hold it. A counter that lives only in the
caller's memory is a counter a deploy loses, and an episode whose stall silently
resets keeps retrying an approach that stopped working four attempts ago.
`Loop::unfinished()` is the boot recovery list. Without it a deploy abandons
whatever was in flight: the rows stay, nothing looks at them again, and the goal
is never answered. Tests drive both halves — one instance interleaving two
episodes with independent counters, and a second instance picking up an episode
the first one started and continuing its numbering rather than restarting at
one.
The tier. Every inference request now carries `select`/`author`/`judge`/
`consolidate`/`repair`. The crate names the JOB, never a model, a vendor or a
URL — the host-agnostic rule it inherits from the engine, and the thing that
makes a tier sweep a config change rather than a code change. Judging is the
expensive opinion (a judge that says yes wrongly ends the episode) and selecting
is a cheap one; with no name on the request a host cannot route them
differently. Called `tier` rather than `role` because a chat request already has
`role` on every message, and two meanings of one key in one payload is a bug
waiting for a hurried reader. Five rather than medulla-v2's three: a host maps
several tiers to one model in a line of config and cannot split one tier into
two at all.
Also in the driver: repair fires per attempt (the variant must exist before the
next attempt can pick it) and consolidation once per episode (what generalises
is visible from the whole trail, not one row of it), both best-effort, because
they run after the outcome is settled and must not turn a judged attempt into a
failed one.
A `Clock` trait rather than a dependency — the crate has no clock, a frozen one
drives tests, and every stored timestamp stays caller-supplied.
152 tests. Five new conformance cases so both ledger backends prove they can
checkpoint an episode.
The operational half of statelessness, and the thing that would break silently. Loop holds only borrows of Send + Sync adapters and no state of its own, so one instance serves many concurrent episodes and any replica can serve any request. If this stops compiling, something acquired state that has to be owned, and the microservice story goes with it.
With `default = []` and both backends behind features, `cargo add tinyflows-adaptive` gave you a crate with ZERO usable Ledger. You could not construct one without opting into a feature that pulls a bundled C library or a Mongo driver. That is a bad out-of-box story for a library. MemoryLedger closes it: std only, no feature, no driver. The crate is usable the moment it is added, `cargo test` runs the whole suite with no flags, and the integration tests no longer reach for sqlite's in-memory mode as a convenient store — which is exactly what this is for. What it is NOT is the default, and that distinction is the whole point of the module note. A ledger silently defaulting to memory is the single worst failure this crate could have, and it is the same shape as every failure the rest of the code is built to prevent: a green run with a blank diagnosis means nobody looked; an empty `changed` means nobody checked; an attempt with no ledger row is one the next pass repeats. Memory-by-default is that, and worse — the loop runs, the exclusion list works, lessons are written and scored, the tests pass, and every restart throws all of it away. Nobody notices, because the only symptom is that it never gets better. So: no `Default` impl anywhere that would hand it to a host that did not ask, a name that says what it does, a one-line warning at the top of the module, and a test called `it_forgets_which_is_the_whole_point_of_the_name` that pins the behaviour rather than working around it. It also earns its place as a reference implementation. It passes run_all, run_tenants, run_lineage and run_episodes — the identical cases both durable backends pass — which proves the trait is implementable in std alone and gives a host writing a fourth backend a complete, readable example checked by the cases theirs will be. Getting there surfaced two details worth matching: `children_of` sorts, because a HashMap has no order and `lineage` must read the same twice; and `save_episode` leaves `started_at` and the scope alone on update, mirroring mongo's `$setOnInsert`. 151 tests with no features at all.
`default = []` meant `cargo add tinyflows-adaptive` gave you a crate whose whole value is that learning accumulates, and no way to make it accumulate. sqlite is now a default feature. It costs a bundled SQLite build, and a Mongo-only deployment turns it off with `default-features = false` — the usual trade, made in the direction that matches what someone adding the crate expects to happen. Two things that were wrong with paths. `open()` did not create the directory holding the file. `Connection::open` creates the file and not its parent, so a first run against `/var/lib/app/ledger.db` failed in a way that reads as "the database is broken" rather than "make the folder". Every sensible location for a ledger is a directory that may not exist yet. It now creates the parent, and names the directory in the error when it cannot. And there was no way to move the file without a rebuild. `from_env_or` reads TINYFLOWS_ADAPTIVE_DB and uses the argument when it is unset, so ops can point it at a mounted volume while the fallback stays visible in the code. Deliberately NOT a zero-argument constructor that picks a location. A library that writes to a home directory nobody named surprises an operator once and is distrusted afterwards, and the right place differs completely between a CLI, a container and a service with a volume. The host names the fallback; the environment overrides it. The selection rule is a pure function rather than something the constructor does inline, because `unsafe_code` is forbidden here so a test cannot call `set_var` — and an env-mutating test is one that fails when another runs beside it anyway. So the four cases are tested directly: the environment wins, an unset variable falls back, a blank or whitespace-only variable reads as unset (what a shell leaves behind when an interpolation did not happen), and a configured path is trimmed. 117 unit tests, and `--no-default-features` still compiles.
There is no single "default location" — there are three, one per platform, and
picking between them is four decisions rather than one.
Linux / XDG $XDG_DATA_HOME/tinyflows/adaptive.db
else ~/.local/share/tinyflows/adaptive.db
macOS ~/Library/Application Support/tinyflows/adaptive.db
Windows %LOCALAPPDATA%\tinyflows\adaptive.db
DATA, not cache and not config. Every platform distinguishes the three and this
picks the one whose contract is "keep this". A ledger is not regenerable, so a
cache sweeper finding it deletes everything the loop has learned; and it is not
something a person edits, so a config directory would invite exactly that.
%LOCALAPPDATA%, NOT %APPDATA%. The roaming profile syncs between machines, and a
SQLite file copied mid-write between two that both think they own it is a
corrupted database. Local is the right shelf for anything a process holds open.
A test sets only APPDATA and asserts nothing is found.
Namespaced `tinyflows/`, not `tinyflows-adaptive/`, so a sibling crate shares
the folder rather than scattering one directory per crate across a user's disk.
No directory is an ERROR, not a guess. A daemon under a user with no home has
nowhere by convention, and inventing one puts a database somewhere nobody looks
— losing it silently is the exact failure this crate is written to avoid. The
error names the variable to set.
TINYFLOWS_ADAPTIVE_DB still wins over all of it, and a container or a service
should name its own path anyway: a volume mount is the whole point, and a
convention that lands the database inside an ephemeral layer is worse than no
convention.
No new dependency. The three rules are short and documented, and `dirs` would
have made its platform quirks ours. The `Platform` is a parameter rather than a
`cfg!` so every rule is tested on whichever machine runs the suite — a rule that
only compiles on the platform it is wrong for is a rule nobody checks — and the
environment is a closure, so there is still no test mutating a process-wide
variable.
123 unit tests.
The knowledge plane was scoped and the attempt trail was not. `ledger_rows` had no scope_key and `rows(episode)` filtered by episode alone, so a service that exposes an episode's attempts and passes the id through from a request path would serve one tenant another's trail. An episode id is opaque; being keyed by it is not isolation, because guessing one is enough. I said earlier that episode rows were never at risk on the grounds that they are keyed by episode and `tried()` reads one at a time. That is true of the loop's own flow — it only ever reads the episode it is working on, and `Loop::start` gates on the scoped episodes table first — but it is not isolation, and stating it as such was wrong. Rows now carry the bucket that wrote them, in all three backends, and both reads that return rows filter on it: `rows` and `evidence` (which joins through lesson citations and would otherwise be the same hole one step further along). A conformance case writes through one tenant and asserts the other reads nothing knowing the id. Two existing tests probed 'a scoped handle shares the store' by writing through a tenant and reading through the global handle. That is now correctly impossible, so they probe it the way it means: two handles for the same tenant see each other's writes, and the global bucket stays its own.
`decide` called `Ledger::tried` for the exclusion list and `Ledger::rows` for the rendered history. `tried`'s default implementation is `rows` plus a dedup, so every attempt paid for the identical query twice against whatever database the host brought. The dedup is now a pure `ledger::signatures(&[LedgerRow])`, `tried` is that over a fresh read — still the right shape for a caller who wants only the signatures — and `decide` reads once and calls it directly. Tested as a function rather than by counting calls: dedup, first-seen order (it is rendered into a prompt, and a list that reshuffles between attempts is one a planner cannot be reasoned about against), the empty case, and that `tried` still agrees with `signatures` over the same rows — if those two diverge, one caller's exclusion list is not the other's. No counting harness. Pinning 'reads rows once' would need a delegating wrapper over fourteen trait methods to assert a performance property that is visible in four lines of the function, and the behaviour that could actually break silently is the agreement between the two paths, which is tested.
…e been wrong
Matched in four places, constructed in none — the bug class this project keeps
producing: a capability that exists, is documented, is tested by exhaustive
matches, and is never invoked.
It is dead because the flow does not need it. repair() saves the repaired graph
to the store as a workflow in its own right; the next attempt finds it through
the catalogue and picks it, so the run signs as `selected:weekly-fix-abc`. That
is correct: the signature is unique for the exclusion list and the score lands
on the graph that actually ran.
Wiring the arm up would have broken promotion. `close()` mapped
`Variant { parent_id }` to the workflow it scores, so a variant's run would have
credited its PARENT — leaving the two indistinguishable and the promotion gate
comparing a number against itself. The whole reason repair writes a variant
rather than editing in place is that the parent's score survives to be compared
against; scoring the parent for the variant's work discards exactly that.
So the enum is two arms, and what makes a graph a variant is the lineage in the
ledger rather than the shape of an attempt. The driver's repair path keeps
working: whatever ran is the parent of the next repair, including a variant,
and `lineage` walks to the root so a second generation stays in one family.
The missing half of 'selects a stored workflow or authors one'. There was exactly one store.save() in the crate and it was in repair(), so a graph authored for a goal, which then achieved it, was discarded — and the next episode of the same shape authored it again from nothing. The catalogue only ever held what a person had put there, select could never choose something the loop worked out, and repair could only make variants of human-written graphs. The loop learned lessons and fixed graphs; it never acquired a skill. Keeping every successful graph is worse than keeping none: one written for 'summarise the deck at /docs/q3.pdf' has that path welded into a node, matches nothing again, and is a row every future planner reads and none can use. So it needs a gate, and the gate turns out to be exact rather than a judgement. The authoring prompt already demands the right thing — declare the goal's specifics as inputs and read them, because 'a graph with the value baked in is a graph that works once'. Nothing checked it. Authoring hands back both the graph and the concrete input values, so the question has a precise answer: does a value it was given appear as a literal inside a node's config? reuse::baked_in is that check. No model, no guessing, which matters because a fuzzy gate on a store that grows forever is a store that fills with near-misses. Distinctiveness is by structure, not length alone: a value is evidence if it is 8+ chars, contains / . : @ _ - or a digit. is the default port name on every edge in the graph, so a node containing it says nothing about where the input went, and a gate that fires on that refuses perfectly reusable procedures. Only what survives that reaches a model, and only for prose — the graph is already fixed. A new tier, , asks for a name and a description of the CLASS of task, because select reads descriptions and a workflow described by the goal that produced it is findable exactly once. It can also answer reusable:false, for a graph that is parameterised and still only makes sense for the one thing it was written for — which the mechanical gate cannot see. Scored 1/1 on the way in, from the run that earned it. Entering the catalogue at 0/0 would be indistinguishable from a procedure nobody has ever run. Four end-to-end tests, including the one that is the whole point: episode one finds a cold store and authors, episode two is offered what episode one filed, carrying 'run 1x, satisfied 1x'.
The field note said resume re-executes every node before the gate, full stop. That is true of engine::resume, the HITL convenience, and false of engine::resume_with_checkpointer, which reloads the state persisted under thread_id and continues from the interrupt boundary — the runtime test resume_value_reaches_only_the_interrupted_node pins exactly that. The distinction is expensive to get wrong, because it is the difference between 'durable node-level parking is impossible here' and 'it is one missing entry point away'. StepAction::Interrupt raises a real graph interrupt at a node and checkpoints there; nothing public takes an interceptor and a host checkpointer together, though RunConfig has both builders and they compose. Also corrects the out-of-scope entry: what this crate does not do is wait on a parked approval, which is a loop-level choice. Node-level parking is an engine capability that exists.
… list, add a read view Four things, three of which were the same failure: measured, carried, dropped. THE TRANSCRIPT. `Ran.steps` — the per-node record `StepRecord` exists for, the thing a device sends back — was computed by `into_ran`, projected into the judge's prompt at PROMPT_BUDGET, and then discarded. Nothing stored it. So "show me what that attempt did" could answer with an outcome line, a cause and a one-sentence approach description, and nothing about any node. Now `save_steps` / `steps` on the trait, written by `close` beside the row it belongs to. One record per step, never one blob per attempt. A `loop` node produces a step per iteration and RECORD_BUDGET is 256 KiB each, so a fifty-iteration loop reaches past Mongo's 16 MB document cap. A blob would work on sqlite, work in testing, and fail in production on exactly the runs most worth reading. Per-step rows also make the read a range scan instead of a blob decode. THE COST. `close` wrote `cost_usd: 0.0`, hardcoded. The runner measures it, the wire carries it as `costUsd`, `Ran.cost_usd` holds it — and `close` took an `Evidence`, which cannot see it. So every row claimed the attempt was free, indistinguishable from a host that does not meter. `close` now takes the whole `Ran`: the judge still reads only `ran.evidence()`, but a signature that cannot see the cost and the steps is a signature that will drop them again. PAGING, on `episodes` only. A tenant's episodes accumulate forever; an episode's rows are bounded by `Budget::attempts` at a dozen, so paging those would be ceremony around a list that cannot get long. `Page::apply` runs in the backend after ordering rather than being pushed into each query, because two of the three backends have no query language and the third would then be the only one whose paging could disagree. A READ VIEW. `inventory::shelf` answers "what does this tenant have", which is not the question `intake`'s catalogue answers. That one drops what is disabled, what this episode already tried, and every family member but the champion — correct for choosing, wrong for a screen, where a workflow would vanish the moment an episode used it. This hides nothing and decides nothing: score, standing, parent, and whether the loop wrote it or a person did. Five new conformance cases, so all three backends prove the transcript round-trips in order, keeps every loop iteration, replaces rather than appends on a retried write, and that an offset past the end is empty rather than a panic. 152 tests, and the suite still runs with no features at all.
…s trait The ledger had three backends chosen at boot; workflows had a directory of JSON files. A deployment that picks Mongo for one half of its durable state and gets a filesystem for the other is not a configuration, it is an oversight. `workflows::Vault` mirrors `Ledger`: memory, sqlite, mongo, one public conformance suite all three pass, scoped per tenant. WHY A SNAPSHOT AND NOT A STORE. `tinyflows::store::WorkflowStore` is synchronous — ten required methods, none async — and a Mongo driver is not. The two obvious fixes are both worse than this one. `block_on` inside a sync method deadlocks a current-thread runtime. Async-ifying the trait upstream is contained (the engine never touches WorkflowStore; it lives entirely inside src/store/) but means rewriting the file store and the authoring module, and then contending with that rewrite on every merge from upstream. The fork stays mergeable or it stops being a fork. So the async half is ours and the sync half is a snapshot over it: load once, serve reads from memory, buffer writes, flush after. That is also how the loop actually uses a store — a handful of reads while deciding, one or two writes when closing — so the reads become free rather than a round trip each. Two things fall out. Workflows are now TENANT-SCOPED, which they were not. The engine's store has no scope, so a repaired variant of one tenant's workflow appeared in every other tenant's catalogue. That was the one gap the README's tenancy section had to admit to; a Vault scopes exactly as a Ledger does, so it closes as a side effect. Concurrent flushes are safe by construction. A snapshot flushes only what it actually wrote, so a workflow the loop read and left alone is never rewritten and a human editing it is not clobbered. And every id this crate writes is content-derived — shape_id for a learned graph, a digest of the edits for a variant — so two episodes arriving at the same procedure write the same id with byte-identical content, and last-write-wins is not a lost update. The engine's authoring surface (run records, revisions, notes, proposals) refuses rather than pretending. A run record accepted and then lost on the next load is worse than an error, because nothing tells the caller it vanished. One Mongo detail: the record is stored as a JSON string rather than a BSON subdocument, because a node config is arbitrary JSON and BSON refuses keys containing a dot — which a config keyed by a filename or a version has. 162 tests. Still runs with no features at all.
… asked Two claims that were made in prose and not checked. ONE FILE. The sqlite vault's module note says 'one file for everything durable, so a deployment backs up one thing'. That is only true because the two schemas share no table name — ledger_rows, lessons, lesson_evidence, workflow_scores, variants, episodes, attempt_steps beside workflows — and because both open in WAL with a busy timeout, so two Connections onto one path is the ordinary sqlite arrangement rather than a hazard. Now asserted, including across a reopen, which is cheaper than finding out when a deployment points both at the same DSN. MIXED BACKENDS. Ledger and Vault are separate traits with separate handles and nothing couples them, so a host pairs any with any. The test picks a deliberately silly pairing — durable sqlite ledger beside an ephemeral memory vault — because if that drives a full episode then every sensible combination does. It also drove out a test helper typed to a concrete MemoryLedger where the loop itself has always taken &dyn Ledger.
… the newest The cap was five, which was a bug dressed as a trade. `help_rate()` is 0.0 when `applied == 0`, the sort was by rate descending, and the cap took the top five. So a lesson written moments ago sorted level with lessons proven useless and was dropped the moment five others had any success. Never shown, so never applied, so never able to earn a rate — the exact explore/exploit trap `promotion` avoids by giving a variant its trials in the episode that spawned it, with nothing here doing the same. A knowledge store that systematically hides its newest entries is worse than one that keeps nothing, because it looks like it is working. The default is now everything in scope, which is also just correct at this scale: with tens of lessons every one is relevant, and capping on an unvalidated order does not select the best five, it discards four-fifths of what was learned on a guess. My own module note already said as much and then capped anyway. The seam stays, because a host with hundreds of lessons has a real prompt-size problem — pass your own `k`. And the ordering it uses is now three bands rather than one number, because a rate cannot tell "not yet tried" from "tried and never helped": both are 0.0, and collapsing them makes a cap prefer a known failure to an untested idea. Useful first, ordered by rate; then untried; then demonstrably useless.
…ed variant Same audit as the recall cap, same shape of bug, arrived at independently. `champion` filtered to proven members first and only then picked the best. So if the ONLY member with enough runs had never once helped, it won by default — a root that failed three times out of three keeping the catalogue slot against a variant that had succeeded twice out of two. The variant is offered instead only inside the episode that spawned it, where the exclusion list forces it; every other episode kept getting the graph that does not work. The cause is that "not yet tried" and "tried and never worked" are both a help rate of 0.0, and one number cannot tell them apart. So the same three bands the recall fix uses: proven-and-helped, unproven, proven-and-never-helped, first non-empty band wins. MIN_TRIALS stays at 3, and unlike the recall cap it is load-bearing and reachable. A variant does get its trials: when the parent fails in a later episode the parent is excluded, the family collapse falls back to the first still-offerable member in lineage order, and that is the same variant every time — so it accumulates rather than each failure spawning a sibling that never reaches the bar. And a 3/3 variant still does not displace a 40/40 parent, because the tie on rate goes to more trials; it takes over once the parent's rate has actually dropped, which is the situation that produced it. One existing test changed rather than the code, and it is worth saying which. `an_unproven_root_still_holds_the_position` asserted the root wins for (1 applied, 0 helped) against (2, 2), on the reading that neither is proven so neither takes it. But the root there has been tried once and failed while the variant has been tried twice and worked twice — "unproven" is not "untested", and offering the one that has only ever failed wastes the attempt that would have settled it. It is now three tests: an untried family keeps the root, a fresh variant does not displace a working root, and thin evidence still decides between two unproven members. 170 tests.
The audit's live finding, and the same failure the crate keeps producing: a counter that exists, is documented, is read by an ordering — and that nothing increments. `score_lesson` had exactly one caller: the corroboration loop in `consolidate`, which passes helped=true and so moves BOTH counters together. Nothing scored a lesson for being used. So every lesson in the store read 0/0 or n/n, `help_rate` was 0.0 or 1.0 and never anything between, and the band ordering added an hour ago was sorting on a number that carried no information. A lesson read forty times and never once helpful looked exactly like one written this morning. The fix mirrors how workflows are scored. `Attempt` carries `lessons_shown` — filled by `decide`, which is the only thing that knows what the planner saw — and the driver scores each one against the verdict beside the workflow score it already writes. Two tests: a satisfied episode moves both counters, an unsatisfied one moves only the denominator. The comment on the corroboration loop said 'applied is incremented by whoever put the lesson in front of a planner'. It now is.
The loop could only ever select what it wrote itself. Everyone else's workflows — the engine's file store, a host's own, a device's local catalogue — are the same WorkflowRecord behind a different trait, and there was no way in. StoreVault makes any WorkflowStore a Vault. Nothing is migrated or rewritten to become selectable. Layered reads several and writes one, which is what makes importing safe rather than merely possible. Importing naively creates two masters: their copy on their machine, ours on the server, and a lineage that points at something that can change underneath it. Layered removes the question — a read-only layer is evidence, so a device workflow can be selected, judged and scored, and when it falls short the repaired variant lands in OUR layer with its own id while their copy is untouched. A delete can never reach a machine that did not ask for one, and there is a test for exactly that. Later layers shadow earlier ones by id, so the writable one goes last and a copy we have taken ownership of wins over the original. StoreVault is unscoped and cannot be otherwise, because the engine's store has no tenant concept to filter on. Scoping is by construction — one per tenant over that tenant's store — and Layered reports the WRITABLE layer's scope, since a read-only device layer being unscoped would otherwise understate who the handle belongs to. No new event, and none is possible: WorkflowStore::list is synchronous and the loop calls it inside decide(), so a fetch can only happen at Snapshot::load, before the episode. Which makes this the Vault's business rather than the loop's — and push-on-connect beats pull-per-episode anyway, since a device that is offline should cost a stale catalogue, not an empty one. 178 tests.
Fetching a device's catalogue once per episode is the right call — it is one round trip against a run that takes minutes, and `store.list()` inside `decide()` is synchronous and served from the snapshot, so nothing on the attempt path pays for it. Freshness beats a cache when the cost is that small. But it exposed a fault in Layered. `layer.load().await?` propagated, so one unreachable device failed the whole load, failed `Snapshot::load`, and stopped the episode — though the tenant's own procedures were in another layer and perfectly readable. Per-episode fetching over a network turns that from a corner case into a daily one. `new` stays strict, which is right when every layer is a database you own: a store that will not answer is a fault, not a shrug. `degrading` skips a read-only layer that errors. It REQUIRES a handler, and that is the design rather than an inconvenience. A catalogue that quietly vanishes is the worst shape this crate has — the loop runs, authors from scratch, files a duplicate of something it already knew, and every signal says it is working. Making the handler mandatory means you cannot obtain the degradation without also obtaining the thing that notices it. Layers are named for the same reason: a report that says 'a layer was missing' is not worth sending. The writable layer is fatal either way. It is our own store, and a loop that cannot read the procedures it wrote should stop rather than relearn them and write them again. 182 tests.
…fter The settled write policy, pinned end to end. A repair variant is CREATED on failure, mid-episode, because that is how the retry can use it: the parent lands in the exclusion list, the family collapse falls through to the variant, and attempt two selects a graph that did not exist at attempt one. But created means buffered — store.save() inside the loop writes to the snapshot, and nothing durable happens until the host flushes. Gating that flush on the episode succeeding is one `if`, and it is the host's `if` on purpose. The effect: whatever the vault fronts — a device, a shared store — only ever receives workflows from successful goal runs. A failed episode leaves no residue. Dropping a failed episode's graphs loses nothing. The ledger's rows, lineage and scores are durable regardless and live server-side; and a re-derived repair converges on the same content-derived id, so when the graph finally lands, the evidence recorded earlier reattaches rather than being orphaned. That last property made a comment in repair.rs stale. It claimed "a link never points at a workflow that was refused" as if link-after-save implied link-after-durable; under a buffering store the link is durable immediately while the graph may never land at all. The comment now says what actually holds: a link with no graph behind it degrades to "not offerable" and reattaches on re-derivation. Two driver tests carry the story whole, with a scripted model that reads the candidate listing it is shown (variant ids are content-derived, so a script cannot know them ahead — it selects the way a real selector does): - success: parent fails at attempt 1, its variant closes the goal at attempt 2, pending() is 1, the flush lands exactly the variant in the writable layer, and the device layer holds byte-for-byte what it held before; - failure: never satisfied, the stall rule stands the episode down, repairs were buffered along the way, no flush — both vaults unchanged, and the ledger still holds the full trail. README gains the canonical gate under "When a graph becomes durable". 184 tests.
`cargo run -p tinyflows-adaptive --example service`. A reference host in one file, driving the real crate with real serialization: the only stand-ins are the transport (tokio channels where production has a socket) and the model (a script routing on `tier` where production has an HTTP client). Every seam a production host replaces is marked HOST:. The part the example exists for is the Relay. The pattern, independent of transport: dispatch mints a unique wire id — NOT the request's own attempt_id, because attempts within an episode share it and a late reply from attempt 1 must never resolve attempt 2's waiter — registers a oneshot under it, serializes, sends, awaits with a deadline; deliver() is the socket receive handler, parsing the frame and resolving the waiter by the echoed id, logging and dropping a late or unknown reply because the dispatch side already synthesized an unreported attempt. A deadline returns Err with a readable reason, which Remote turns into a judgeable attempt rather than a crash. The device side is shown to be exactly three steps — deserialize, serve(), serialize — and the success gate appears where it belongs, as the host's one `if` after the run. Run it and the output narrates the acquisition story: goal run 1 finds a cold catalogue, authors, ships the graph inline over the wire, satisfies, and the flush files it; goal run 2 fetches the catalogue fresh, is offered learned-<hash>, selects it, and the shelf ends at run 2x satisfied 2x with the trail reading authored:<hash> then selected:learned-<hash>. Also widens the tokio dev-dependency with sync + time for the example's oneshot and deadline.
The rustdoc documents every item; nothing documented the integration. docs/api.md
is that, ordered by what a host does: the skeleton, the traits you implement,
storage construction, driving the Loop, the read surface, the wire shapes, the
errors, and the invariants safe to build on.
The section that exists nowhere else in one place: the per-tier reply contract.
An LlmProvider sees {tier, messages, response_format} and each of the six tiers
expects a specific JSON shape back — select may decline with null, author's
graph is validated before acceptance, judge's unknown blocker coerces to
goal_not_met, consolidate's uncited lessons are dropped, repair's rename is
refused, generalise may refuse with reusable:false. That table is the real
integration contract for the inference seam and was previously spread across
five prompt constants.
Also fixes the five unresolved intradoc links cargo doc had been warning about
(cross-crate items linked by path, feature-gated modules de-linked), so rustdoc
now builds with zero warnings.

…d together Every host was writing the same two matches to turn 'sqlite or mongo' into a ledger and a vault — and then scoping the two handles separately, which is the leak waiting to happen: a request that calls for_tenant on the ledger and forgets the vault has isolated the learning and shared the graphs, or the reverse, and nothing fails loudly either way. storage::Config::parse reads one setting — 'memory' (only by name, never as a fallback), a path or sqlite:<path>, a mongodb:// URI with the database taken from its path — and Storage::open builds the matching pair: one SQLite file holding both halves, or one Mongo database. Storage::for_tenant scopes ledger AND vault in a single call, so the two-handle mistake cannot be made; a test pins that the root handle stays unscoped while the tenant handle carries the scope on both sides. A URI for a backend the build lacks fails at parse time with the feature named — a config error at boot, not a missing symbol at first write. AnyLedger/AnyVault are cfg-gated enums delegating through one macro each, so the picker compiles under every feature combination: default, mongo-only, and no features at all (memory stays, asked for by name). docs/api.md gains a Configuration section putting every knob in one table — what the crate consumes (storage string, Budget, TINYFLOWS_ADAPTIVE_DB) versus what the host consumes (tier map, relay deadline, HostFacts, HostPolicy) — and naming what is deliberately NOT configurable. 189 tests.

In `@crates/adaptive/src/closing/consolidate.rs`:
- Around line 190-204: Update cited so duplicate row IDs are filtered during
collection rather than relying on Vec::dedup, preserving first-seen citation
order while ensuring each row ID appears only once.
In `@crates/adaptive/src/closing/repair.rs`:
- Around line 250-257: The durable identifiers generated by variant_id in
crates/adaptive/src/closing/repair.rs:250-257 and shape_id in
crates/adaptive/src/reuse.rs:107-119 use unstable DefaultHasher output truncated
to 28 bits. Replace both with the same fixed, wider digest over serialized
bytes, and add compatibility or migration handling for existing learned-
records, workflow scores, and Ledger::link_variant rows; both sites require
direct changes.
Apply the same fix in `@crates/adaptive/src/intake/author.rs` around lines 164 -
176: `shape_id` is persisted and must use the same stable scheme.
In `@crates/adaptive/src/contracts.rs`:
- Around line 177-195: Update the Tier documentation to consistently describe
all six variants: in crates/adaptive/src/contracts.rs lines 177-195, change the
count from five to six; in crates/adaptive/README.md lines 161-172, add
generalise to the tier list and change the stated count from five to six.
- Around line 126-158: Address the unused Budget::tokens contract by either
enforcing it in Loop::run using the established token-usage value, or removing
the field and its documentation if no usage value exists. Ensure the chosen
behavior makes configured token limits effective and preserves tokens: 0 as the
documented no-cap value.
In `@crates/adaptive/src/driver.rs`:
- Around line 126-129: Document in the attempt flow that concurrent calls are
safe only when goal runs use distinct episode IDs; calls sharing an episode ID
must not run concurrently because attempt-number read/update is not atomic.
Update the relevant documentation near attempt or the module-level concurrency
note without changing unrelated behavior.
In `@crates/adaptive/src/host.rs`:
- Around line 86-98: Update Host::is_unknown to also consider default_harness,
default_model, max_parallel_agents, and run_timeout_secs, matching every host
field emitted by render; hosts with any of these configured values must not be
classified as unknown.
- Around line 189-200: Update the host comparison in the allowlist validation
around host_of to be case-insensitive, including exact matches and subdomain
suffix checks, while preserving the existing rejection message and allowlist
behavior.
In `@crates/adaptive/src/intake/mod.rs`:
- Around line 324-328: Update the peek function to truncate the serialized Value
at a valid UTF-8 character boundary, preserving at most 200 bytes without
panicking on multi-byte characters. Keep the existing return behavior and
IntakeError::Inference path unchanged.
In `@crates/adaptive/src/ledger/memory.rs`:
- Around line 273-283: Update the MemoryLedger episodes method to sort matching
episodes by updated_at descending, using _id ascending as the tie-breaker,
before calling page.apply. Add a conformance test covering ordering and paging
so Page::first returns the same newest-first results across backends.
In `@crates/adaptive/src/ledger/mod.rs`:
- Around line 395-402: Scope score_lesson by the handle bucket rather than
lesson ID alone: update the trait and implementations in
crates/adaptive/src/ledger/mod.rs (395-402),
crates/adaptive/src/ledger/memory.rs (183-190), and
crates/adaptive/src/ledger/mongo.rs (345-353), and pass the handle scope from

In `@crates/adaptive/src/ledger/mongo.rs`:
- Around line 438-462: Update save_steps so persisting a transcript replaces the
prior step set for the same bucket and row_id: remove stale documents at or
beyond the new steps length, or clear that row’s existing steps before the
upserts. Preserve the current step serialization and upsert behavior, ensuring a
shorter re-save matches MemoryLedger by returning only the new transcript.
- Around line 289-298: Update the scope_key filter in lessons to include null
alongside self.bucket() and the empty-string global scope, preserving visibility
of legacy lessons with a missing scope_key for both kind-specific and unfiltered
queries.
- Around line 109-118: Update the index setup in the scores initialization flow
to drop the existing workflow_id_1 index before creating the unique compound
index on scope_key and workflow_id. Preserve the awaited error propagation and
ensure the compound index replaces the single-field uniqueness constraint for
existing deployments.
In `@crates/adaptive/src/ledger/sqlite.rs`:
- Around line 640-664: Update save_steps to delete all existing attempt_steps
for the same scope_key and row_id before inserting the new steps, ensuring
shorter re-saves cannot retain stale higher sequence rows. Apply the equivalent
replace-before-insert behavior in the Mongo vault and ledger implementations,
and add a conformance case that re-saves a shorter transcript and verifies only
the new steps remain.
In `@crates/adaptive/src/reuse.rs`:
- Around line 45-56: Update distinctive so short numeric values such as "1" are
not considered distinctive; require sufficient length or another existing
structural signal for digit-bearing values, while preserving the current checks
for long values and distinctive characters. Add a focused test covering a short
numeric input and verify it does not cause baked_in to report a paste or keep to
discard a reusable procedure.
In `@crates/adaptive/src/workflows/mod.rs`:
- Around line 151-166: The flush method must preserve dirty entries added or
changed while vault operations are awaited. After processing each snapshotted
(id, record) pair, remove it from the current dirty map only if its current
value still equals the snapshotted value, using WorkflowRecord’s PartialEq; do
not clear the entire map, so concurrent save or delete updates remain pending.
In `@crates/adaptive/src/workflows/mongo.rs`:
- Around line 67-104: Initialize a unique compound index on scope_key and
workflow_id in every Mongo backend construction path, including the synchronous
with_database API by making initialization explicit or changing its API, and
ensure load and put use the indexed fields. Update put to retry duplicate-key
failures caused by concurrent upserts. Define and enforce explicit
global-versus-tenant precedence in Snapshot::load rather than relying on MongoDB
_id ordering, SQLite id ordering, or memory BTreeMap ordering.

…DAPTIVE_STORAGE Config::parse took a string and left where it came from to the host, which meant the docs' ADAPTIVE_STORAGE was an invented name every service would pick differently. One canonical variable now, read by the crate itself: TINYFLOWS_ADAPTIVE_STORAGE=memory | <path> | sqlite:<path> | mongodb://host/db let storage = Storage::from_env().await?; // the whole stack, one call An unset variable is an ERROR NAMING THE VARIABLE, never a default. Both tempting fallbacks are wrong in ways this crate has already refused once: defaulting to a disk location invents a path on the operator's machine nobody named, and defaulting to memory is a service that runs perfectly and learns nothing — the looks-like-it-works failure shape. Blank counts as unset, for the shell-interpolation-that-never-happened case. The env read is one expression over a pure from_setting(Option<&str>), the same shape as the sqlite path chooser, so the rule is tested without any test mutating process-wide state. 232 tests.
Thirteen real defects, two doc drifts, two design questions answered in code. The worst were in the audit's own recurring shapes. STABLE IDENTIFIERS. shape_id, the authoring fingerprint and variant_id derived from DefaultHasher truncated to 28 bits. DefaultHasher is explicitly unstable across Rust releases, and these strings are PERSISTED — workflow ids, lineage keys, exclusion-list signatures — so a toolchain upgrade would silently stop identical work converging and orphan every stored score; 28 bits put birthday collisions within reach of tens of thousands of records. All three now share one FNV-1a 64-bit digest rendered as 16 hex chars, pinned to the algorithm's published test vectors so a drift fails a test rather than a deployment. CROSS-TENANT SCORE INDEX (critical). The Mongo scores index was unique on workflow_id alone — from before tenancy — so the same workflow id in a second tenant's bucket was REJECTED at write time. Now unique on (scope_key, workflow_id), with the legacy index dropped when present. SCORE_LESSON WAS UNSCOPED. Updated by id alone in all three backends, and the ids reach it from model output (corroboration) — a prompt injection's walk into another tenant's scores. All backends now constrain to the handle's bucket or global; a conformance case has one tenant name another's lesson id and asserts nothing moved, while scoring a global lesson still works. TRANSCRIPT STALE TAILS. A shorter re-save overlaid by (row, seq) left the old tail, stitching two attempts into one transcript, on both durable backends. Delete-then-insert on both; the conformance case now re-saves shorter. FLUSH RACE. Snapshot::flush cleared the whole dirty map after awaiting the vault, dropping any save that landed during the awaits — in memory only, gone on restart, silently. Entries are now removed per-key and only when unchanged since the flush snapshot; a reentrant-vault test saves mid-flush and asserts the record survives to the next flush. VAULT CONCURRENCY AND PRECEDENCE. MongoVault gained the unique (scope_key, workflow_id) index (with_database is now async for it) and a one-retry on the duplicate-key race. Vault::load's contract now states one-record-per-id with the handle's bucket shadowing global, implemented explicitly in all three backends instead of riding on map iteration order; a conformance case stores one id in both buckets and checks who wins from each handle. EPISODE ORDERING. MemoryLedger paged insertion order while Page documents newest-first and the durable backends sort — Page::first(1) meant opposite ends of the list depending on backend. Sorted, and pinned by a conformance case. SMALLER BUT REAL: cited() used Vec::dedup, so evidence [0,1,0] stored a row twice against one lesson (membership check now); peek() could panic truncating a provider reply mid-codepoint on the exact path that should return an Inference error (char-boundary floor); a bare short digit made "1" distinctive in the keep gate, matching half of all configs and discarding reusable procedures (digits now need length four); host allowlists compared DNS names case-sensitively (lowercased both sides, with tests); is_unknown skipped four fields render prints, so a host configuring only e.g. a default model reached the author as unknown (all rendered fields tested, with a test). ANSWERED IN CODE RATHER THAN FIXED: Budget::tokens advertised a cap nothing enforced — the looks-like-it-works shape — so the field is removed rather than wired to a metric nothing measures. Concurrent attempt() calls for one episode genuinely race; the constraint (one episode, one attempt at a time; concurrency is across episodes) is now documented on the method, since the natural caller is already sequential and a lock here would be theater. Docs: Tier is six everywhere it said five. 238 tests.

What this is
crates/adaptive— tinyflows-adaptive, a new workspace member beside the engine. It ingests a goal, selects a stored workflow or authors one, runs it (in-process or on a remote device), judges the result against evidence, and learns: scoring what ran, repairing graphs that are provably at fault, keeping authored graphs that worked, and consolidating lessons.It is built to run as a multi-tenant service: every learning — attempt rows, lessons, workflow scores, variant lineage, episode checkpoints, per-node transcripts — and every workflow is stored per tenant, in a backend the operator picks with one config value (SQLite or MongoDB; in-memory by explicit request).
storage.for_tenant(user)scopes the whole stack in one call, and isolation is conformance-tested across all backends. The loop itself is stateless (Send + Sync, checkpoints in the ledger), so any replica serves any tenant's goal run and a deploy mid-episode loses nothing.The engine is untouched — every commit leaves
src/byte-identical except two corrected doc comments.The organizing rule: the engine may know about one run; anything that spans runs lives here.
The loop
decide(): offer the tenant's catalogue (families collapsed to their champion, this episode's failures excluded), else author against the engine-generated node catalogue; validated + host-gated before anything returns. Both planners see the episode's trail and the lessons earlier episodes left.Runnerport:LocalandRemoteare the sameserve() → RunReport → into_ran()with a serialization boundary optionally between them. Steps cross the wire, notoutput(status, duration, null-bindings and loop iterations survive; a failed run still has steps). Per-node bounding at two budgets. A runner that never answers becomes a judgeable attempt, never a crash — and never a terminal verdict.close()records the row whatever the verdict;repair()writes a variant, never an edit in place, only when the diagnosis says the graph is at fault;keep()files an authored graph that worked, gated by an exact pasted-inputs check before any inference;consolidate()keeps only cited, class-level lessons.Loopis per-tenant borrows,Send + Sync, zero per-episode state; a goal run is an episode id whose checkpoint lives in the ledger, so any replica resumes any episode (unfinished()is the boot recovery list).Storage & multi-tenancy
One config value picks the whole persistence stack.
storage::Config::parsereads a single setting —memory(only by name, never a fallback), a path /sqlite:<path>, or amongodb://URI (database taken from the URI's path) — andStorage::openbuilds the matched pair: theLedger(learnings: attempt rows, scored lessons, workflow scores, variant lineage, episode checkpoints, per-node transcripts) and theVault(workflow graphs). SQLite puts both halves in one file; Mongo in one database. A URI for a backend the build lacks fails at parse time with the feature named. No migration scripts: SQLite self-migrates atopen()(idempotent DDL + additiveALTERs), Mongo is schemaless with idempotent index creation, and readers default absent fields — old databases upgrade in place.Tenancy lives on the handle, and one call scopes everything.
storage.for_tenant(user)returns both halves scoped together — the two-handle mistake (isolated learnings over shared graphs, or the reverse) is unrepresentable. The rule is uniform across every backend: writes go to the handle's bucket; reads return the bucket plus global (an unscoped handle's bucket is global, so single-tenant deployments change nothing). Every table/collection carries the scope: rows, lessons, scores, lineage, episodes, transcripts, workflows.Isolation is conformance-tested, not promised. The public suites (
ledger::conformance::run_tenants,workflows::conformance::run_tenants) run against all three backends and pin the sharp cases: aLessonarriving with a forgedscope_keyis stamped with the handle's scope and ignored (a model's answer deserialized into aLessoncannot publish into another tenant's bucket by asking); knowing another tenant's episode id retrieves nothing; a tenant's writes never move the global bucket's scores. This matters because lessons are free text drawn from one tenant's episodes — they can name private repos and paths — andconsolidaterenders every retrievable lesson into a model prompt.Snapshotbridges to the engine's synchronousWorkflowStore: load once per goal run, serve reads from memory, buffer writes, flush after.store.save()inside the loop is a buffer — nothing durable happens until the host flushes, which is how persistence is gated on episode success (a device fronted by the vault only ever receives graphs from satisfied goal runs).Layeredreads many catalogues and writes one (degradingskips an offline device and requires a handler);StoreVaultadapts any existingWorkflowStore; content-derived ids make lost writes converge instead of duplicating.Inference seam
Every request carries
tier(select · author · judge · consolidate · repair · generalise) — the crate names the job, the host maps it to a model. Each tier's reply contract is documented in one table, including every escape hatch (decline withnull, empty ops,reusable: false).Docs & verification
