Summary

CortexDB's managed API (api-v1.cortexdb.ai) extracts facts and rebuilds a scope's beliefs on its own within about a minute of a write. The lifecycle still queued a BuildBeliefs job every build_beliefs_every turns and after every brain ingest, so on the managed API each queued job only re-ran a full rebuild of the scope. This adds Consolidation::Automatic and stops handing those jobs back on an engine that declares it. An explicit build ("refresh now") still works in every mode.

Related issue

None. This follows a scoping review with the CortexDB team: on hosted, belief builds need no trigger, and POST /v1/beliefs/build is only for "refresh right now".

API or behavior changes

Breaking:

  • tinymemory_tools::Ingested::job is now Option<BackgroundJob>. It is None on an Automatic engine.
  • tinymemory_api::Consolidation gains Automatic. An exhaustive match on it needs an arm.

Additive:

  • CortexEngine::with_consolidation, EngineSettings::consolidation (TOML consolidation = "automatic"), Brain::build, and ReferenceEngine::with_consolidation (conformance feature).

Behaviour:

  • A direct cortexdb engine declares Automatic when its endpoint origin is https://api-v1.cortexdb.ai, and OnDemand anywhere else. Self-hosted CortexDB builds beliefs in the background only when its operator sets CORTEX_V1_LAYERS_AUTO=1, which is off by default.
  • cortexdb_descriptor() describes its default endpoint, so it now reports Automatic.
  • tinyhumans stays Scheduled, unchanged.
  • An Automatic engine gets no build job from post_turn, Brain::ingest or Brain::ingest_many. Brain::build and AgentMemory::history_build still hand one back, and running it still POSTs v1/beliefs/build.
  • The decision lives in one function, descriptor::direct_consolidation. If CortexDB confirms a server-side signal (for example derivation status), it can replace the endpoint check there. This PR deliberately does not auto-detect.

Validation

GitHub CI also runs on this PR. Every command below was run locally from the repository root, with a target dir of this worktree's own; at f0f88a6 that is 1069 tests with all features and 382 with default features.

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check: ok
  • cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings: ok
  • cargo build --all-targets --all-features: ok
  • cargo test --all-features: ok, all suites pass
  • cargo test (default features): ok
  • RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --no-deps --all-features: ok
  • cargo run -p tinymemory-integrations --example basic: ok
  • The CI "Refuse inline test code" script: ok
  • cargo llvm-cov --all-features --workspace … --fail-under-lines 80: ok, 93.71% lines
  • cargo hack --feature-powerset --depth 2 --workspace check --all-targets: ok, 47/47

Revert-checks: with each guard removed in turn (the post_turn check, the Brain::ingest check, the endpoint default), its new tests fail. They pass again with the guard restored.

The live tests (live_*) run in the "CortexDB live" CI job against cortexdb/cortexdb:v0.10.4; they were not run locally. live_cortex_lifecycle now asks Brain::build explicitly when an ingest returns no job. A new live test, live_an_automatic_engine_queues_no_builds_but_still_builds_on_request, configures consolidation = "automatic" through the registry against that server. It asserts no build job after an ingest or a turn, and that Brain::build and history_build still reach v1/beliefs/build.

Tests

  • api:
    • Automatic serde round-trip;
    • the conformance check for Automatic accepts Started/Completed and rejects a bare Scheduled acknowledgement;
    • a full conformance run against ReferenceEngine::with_consolidation(..) for every mode (None, OnDemand, Scheduled, Automatic); the reference engine now consolidates as it declares.
  • integrations:
    • per-endpoint defaults (managed API, trailing slash, loopback, another host, another port, http);
    • with_consolidation refusals per wire;
    • an explicit build on an Automatic engine sends exactly one POST /v1/beliefs/build;
    • the registry applies EngineSettings::consolidation;
    • the TOML override parses.
  • tools:
    • post_turn hands back no job under Automatic while still logging, and history_build still runs;
    • ingest/ingest_many hand back no jobs, and Brain::build still runs to Done.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added automatic belief rebuilding for supported engines. Ingestion and post-turn processing on these engines no longer return separate belief-build jobs; explicit builds remain available.
    • Added a consolidation setting to engine configuration, with endpoint-based defaults and validation for unsupported modes.
    • Ingestion can return no background job when beliefs rebuild automatically. Batch ingestion continues to process all returned jobs.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified consolidation modes and build-job behavior across engine and lifecycle guides.

CortexDB's managed API extracts facts and rebuilds a scope's beliefs on its
own shortly after each write, so the build jobs the lifecycle queued after
every N turns and every brain ingest only re-ran a full scope rebuild.

- tinymemory-api: add `Consolidation::Automatic`. An explicit `consolidate`
  still builds and answers as `OnDemand` does; the conformance suite holds
  it to that, and `ReferenceEngine::with_consolidation` lets a host test it.
- tinymemory-integrations: a direct engine declares `Automatic` when its
  endpoint is the managed API and `OnDemand` anywhere else (self-hosted
  CortexDB builds in the background only when its operator turns the layer
  scheduler on). `CortexEngine::with_consolidation` and
  `EngineSettings::consolidation` override it; the TinyHumans wire stays
  `Scheduled`. The choice is made in one place, `direct_consolidation`, so
  a server-reported signal can replace the endpoint check later.
- tinymemory-tools: `post_turn` and `Brain::ingest`/`ingest_many` hand back
  no build on an `Automatic` engine. `Brain::build` (new) and
  `AgentMemory::history_build` still ask for one at any time.

Breaking: `Ingested::job` is now `Option<BackgroundJob>`, and
`Consolidation` gains a variant.

What changed

This pull request adds a new `Consolidation::Automatic` mode to the consolidation contract. `Consolidation::Automatic` declares that an engine rebuilds beliefs on its own shortly after each write; an explicit `consolidate` still runs a build at once and answers as `Consolidation::OnDemand` does. The reference engine gained `ReferenceEngine::with_consolidation` and its `consolidate` now answers according to its declared consolidation (`None` refuses with `Unsupported`, `Scheduled` only acknowledges, `OnDemand`/`Automatic` build at once). The conformance suite's `answers_as_promised` now accepts `Automatic` alongside `OnDemand`, refusing a merely-acknowledged receipt. On the CortexDB side, the direct engine derives its default consolidation from the endpoint via the new `direct_consolidation` helper: `Automatic` on the managed API (`CORTEX_API_ENDPOINT`) and `OnDemand` elsewhere; `CortexEngine::with_consolidation` overrides it and refuses modes the wire cannot serve. Configuration gained an optional `EngineSettings::consolidation` override applied by `build_engine`. In the tools crate, a `builds_on_its_own` helper suppresses belief-build jobs on automatic engines: `Brain::ingest` now returns `Ingested::job` as `Option<BackgroundJob>` (a breaking change), `Brain::ingest_many` returns no jobs, and `AgentMemory::post_turn` returns no turn build regardless of `RecallPolicy::build_beliefs_every`; `Brain::build` and `AgentMemory::history_build` remain explicit refreshes. Docs were updated across the lifecycle architecture, integration, and agent-memory spec.

Features

  • Added — Consolidation::Automatic mode: Engines can declare they rebuild beliefs on their own after writes; an explicit `consolidate` still builds at once and answers like `OnDemand`. Serialized as the snake-case name "automatic". (crates/tinymemory-api/src/consolidate/mod.rs#pub enum Consolidation {)
  • Added — Endpoint-based consolidation default for direct CortexDB engines: `CortexEngine::new` derives the default consolidation from the endpoint via `direct_consolidation`: `Automatic` on the managed API endpoint and `OnDemand` on any other endpoint, so self-hosted deployments default to on-demand builds. (crates/tinymemory-integrations/src/cortex/descriptor/mod.rs#pub fn cortexdb_descriptor() -> EngineDescriptor {, crates/tinymemory-integrations/src/cortex/engine/mod.rs#impl CortexEngine {, crates/tinymemory-integrations/src/cortex/descriptor/mod.rs#pub fn tinyhumans_descriptor() -> EngineDescriptor {)
  • Added — CortexEngine::with_consolidation override: Hosts can override the endpoint default; modes a wire cannot serve (a direct engine with `None` or `Scheduled`, the TinyHumans wire with anything but `Scheduled`) are refused with `Error::Config`. An explicit build still posts `v1/beliefs/build` per held scope on either direct mode. (crates/tinymemory-integrations/src/cortex/engine/mod.rs#impl CortexEngine {, crates/tinymemory-integrations/src/cortex/engine/mod.rs#impl MemoryEngine for CortexEngine {)
  • Added — EngineSettings::consolidation config override: Configuration can set `consolidation = "automatic"` per engine, applied by `build_engine` through `CortexEngine::with_consolidation`; a consolidation the engine cannot serve is a config error. (crates/tinymemory-integrations/src/config/mod.rs#pub struct EngineSettings {, crates/tinymemory-integrations/src/registry/mod.rs#pub fn build_engine()
  • Modified — Lifecycle and brain suppress build jobs on automatic engines: `Brain::ingest` returns `Ingested::job` as `None` and `ingest_many` returns no jobs on engines declaring `Automatic` (breaking type change to `Option<BackgroundJob>` and affected example/harness call sites); `AgentMemory::post_turn` returns no belief-build job regardless of `RecallPolicy::build_beliefs_every`. `Brain::build` (now public) and `AgentMemory::history_build` still hand back an explicit refresh build. (crates/tinymemory-tools/src/brain/mod.rs#impl Brain {, crates/tinymemory-tools/src/brain/types.rs#pub struct Ingested {, crates/tinymemory-tools/src/lifecycle/mod.rs#impl AgentMemory {, crates/tinymemory-tools/src/lifecycle/types.rs#pub struct RecallPolicy {, crates/tinymemory-tools/src/background/mod.rs#use tinymemory_api::{)
  • Internal refactor — Documentation updated for the Automatic mode: Lifecycle architecture, integration guide, and agent-memory spec now document the `Automatic` mode, the managed-API default, the config override, and the suppression of queued builds. (docs/architecture/lifecycle.md#What a build does depends on the engine's `consolidation`:, docs/integration.md#for job in queue.drain(..) {, docs/specs/agent-memory.md#skipped, engine }`., docs/integration.md#the `EngineCredential`'s alone.)

Tests

  • addition — Unit tests hold an `Automatic` engine to the same explicit-build answers as `OnDemand`, and reject a `Scheduled`-style acknowledgment.: Pins the suite's promised-answer behavior for `Automatic`. (crates/tinymemory-api/src/conformance/suite/lifecycle_tests.rs)
  • observation — `Brain::build`'s `# Errors` doc claims it never errors, but it can return a layout error for a source whose scope fails `MemoryLayout::brain`.: Doc-accuracy nit noted by the tests lane; not a behavior change. (crates/tinymemory-tools/src/brain/mod.rs#impl Brain {)

tests

  • Conclusion: Success
  • Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
  • Lane summary: The change introduces a new `Consolidation::Automatic` mode, plumbs it through the reference engine, the conformance suite, the CortexDB direct/hosted engines, config, registry, and the tools lifecycle, and backs each behaviour claim with a test that would fail if the claim were false: the conformance suite now refuses a merely-acknowledged build from an `Automatic` engine, the brain and lifecycle tests assert that no job is queued and that an explicit build still runs, the descriptor tests pin the managed-API/self-hosted split, and the registry test pins the config override. The live test now drives the real managed-API scheduler by polling `v1/derivation/status`, making the previously-untestable automatic path observable end to end. Previous findings about driving this path through the live harness and about the optional ingestion job are addressed by this revision. Safe to merge. (1 earlier finding(s) still open) _Code retrieval was unavailable (model: ladder embeddings returned 400 Bad Request: {"error":{"message":"unknown ladder vectors; known ladders are flash (also chat-v1, flash-v1), instant (also no-think, instant-v1), reasoning (also deepseek), max-reasoning (also max-reasoning-v1), deepseek-flash (also reasoning-v1, agentic-v1), deep (also luna), scribe, uncensored, vectors-oai3 (also embeddings-oai3-v1), vision (also vision-v1, multimodal-v1), image (also images-v1, image-v1), vi), so this review saw the diff alone._ _Memory was unavailable (model: cortex: v1/recall: error sending request for url (http://cortexdb:3141/v1/recall\)\), so this review ran without it._

description

  • Conclusion: Success
  • Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
  • Lane summary: The latest commit replaces the old nondeterministic automatic-consolidation checks with a bounded poll on `v1/derivation/status` against a server whose harness runs the layer scheduler, and routes the existing lifecycle test's build through `Brain::build` when an ingest returns no job — the earlier 'Trigger automatic consolidation after writes', 'Drive the automatic-consolidation path through the live harness', 'Drive automatic consolidation through the live lifecycle', 'Make the automatic-consolidation test deterministic' and 'Require a build newer than this test's write' concerns are all addressed, and the 'Iterate the optional ingestion job' finding is moot because the iteration is gone. The whole pull request — descriptor, registry, conformance suite, tools and docs — is consistent and the description matches the diff; remaining nits are a misworded `late:` note in the existing live test's comment and a `late: true` scope/refresh comment pair in the new test, both cosmetic. (24 earlier finding(s) still open) _Code retrieval was unavailable (model: ladder embeddings returned 400 Bad Request: {"error":{"message":"unknown ladder vectors; known ladders are flash (also chat-v1, flash-v1), instant (also no-think, instant-v1), reasoning (also deepseek), max-reasoning (also max-reasoning-v1), deepseek-flash (also reasoning-v1, agentic-v1), deep (also luna), scribe, uncensored, vectors-oai3 (also embeddings-oai3-v1), vision (also vision-v1, multimodal-v1), image (also images-v1, image-v1), vi), so this review saw the diff alone._ _Memory was unavailable (model: cortex: v1/recall: error sending request for url (http://cortexdb:3141/v1/recall\)\), so this review ran without it._

e2e

  • Conclusion: Success
  • Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
  • Lane summary: The new live test drives the automatic-consolidation behaviour end to end: it writes through the real engine, observes the server rebuild the scope on its own via `v1/derivation/status`, and confirms an explicit refresh still reaches `v1/beliefs/build`, with the docker harness enabling `CORTEX_V1_LAYERS_AUTO`. The earlier coverage gaps are addressed; nothing new is uncovered, weakened or unobservable, so the change looks sound to merge.

Walkthrough

The API adds an Automatic consolidation mode. CortexDB selects a mode by endpoint and accepts supported configuration overrides. Brain ingestion and scheduled lifecycle processing omit build jobs for Automatic engines, while explicit builds remain available.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c1f2f

The change is mostly safe to merge. The live CortexDB test could hang if the server stalls mid-request. Documentation about optional ingestion jobs appears updated but was not independently re-verified.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to c1f2f

The inspected changes preserve write validation, scope selection, credentials, and explicit refresh capability. No introduced security vulnerability was substantiated. Remaining uncertainty concerns automatic refresh completion and failure coordination in the external service, plus compatibility with consumers outside this repository.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected scheduling changes affect derived belief freshness for sources and agents using the configured engine, not a newly broadened namespace. Brain::build still constructs an exact source reach with document filtering, and history_build retains an exact agent reach with conversation filtering. Effective cross-tenant service exposure remains dependent on existing credentials and server enforcement, which were not independently verified here.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Consolidation mode comes from engine construction and host settings, not document text or turn contents. URL parsing precedes classification. Existing transport controls reject credentialed cleartext endpoints outside loopback, resolve credentials for requests, and attach Authorization. The new mode does not replace these controls.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Automatic intentionally delegates refresh progress to the service rather than retaining client-generated recovery work. Explicit builds remain available, but their existence does not prove automatic-build recovery or safe coordination with concurrent writes and deletion. The live test checks a last-built timestamp against a last-write timestamp on a configured server; it supplies no execution result or failure-injection evidence for those terminal and recovery states.

- `ReferenceEngine::consolidate` honours `with_consolidation`: `None`
  refuses as `Unsupported`, `Scheduled` only acknowledges, `OnDemand` and
  `Automatic` build. The conformance suite now passes for all four.
- live_cortex_lifecycle: an engine configured with
  `consolidation = "automatic"` through the registry queues no build after
  an ingest or a turn, while `Brain::build` and `history_build` still reach
  `v1/beliefs/build` on the real server.
- docs: an ingest's job is optional (`integration.md` example,
  `agent-memory.md` spec).

@coderabbitai The outside-diff item (docs/integration.md:183, docs/specs/agent-memory.md:187) is fixed in f0f88a6:

  • the integration example now does queue.extend(ingested.job), with a note that an Automatic engine yields none;
  • the spec says that ingest and ingest_many hand back no build job on an Automatic engine, and that Brain::build asks for one explicitly.

🧩 Analysis chain

🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
rg -n -C 5 'queue\.extend\(ingested\.job\)|Automatic|Brain::build|ingest_many' docs/integration.md docs/specs/agent-memory.md

Length of output: 6124


@M3gA-Mind Verified both documentation updates on the PR branch:

  • docs/integration.md, Line 183 uses queue.extend(ingested.job) and notes that an Automatic engine returns no job.
  • docs/specs/agent-memory.md, Lines 187–190 describe the absent ingest jobs on Automatic engines and the explicit Brain::build option.

This addresses the outside-diff finding. Thanks for the fix.

- live_cortex_lifecycle: after an ingest on an Automatic engine, with no
  build requested, poll CortexDB's v1/derivation/status until the scope's
  last build is no older than its last write: the harness server's layer
  scheduler rebuilt it on its own.
- ReferenceEngine::with_consolidation: say that the in-memory engine has no
  background builder and builds only when asked, and why it does not build
  on every write (its beliefs are ordinary items, which every read would
  then return).

Comment thread crates/tinymemory-integrations/tests/live_cortex_lifecycle.rs Outdated
The derivation-status poll now needs last_built_at strictly after
last_write_at (the scope is unique to the run, so that write is the
test's own), and every request is bounded by the time left, so a stalled
server cannot hold the poll past its deadline.
