From f2a3f34ef413acc3b141cfe68d2040741e98f4f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: htafolla Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 11:07:11 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20activate=20inference=20feedback=20l?= =?UTF-8?q?oop=20=E2=80=94=20analytics=20pipeline=20now=20writes=20back?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Phase 1 — Critical write-back: - inference-tuner.ts: addKeywordMapping() no longer a no-op. Reads routing-mappings.json, checks for conflicts, appends new keyword mappings, writes back to disk. This single change activates the entire 3000-line analytics pipeline as an active learning system. - inference-tuner.ts: wired routingRefiner into performTuning(). Tuning cycle now consumes refiner suggestions and applies them. - inference-tuner.ts: imported routingRefiner singleton. Phase 2 — Runtime feedback: - agent-delegator.ts: when top agent confidence < 0.85, consults predictiveAnalytics.predictSync() for a historically-better routing suggestion. Logs the refinement and promotes predicted agent. - predictive-analytics.ts: added predictSync() method for hot-path usage (no disk reload, operates on in-memory data). Phase 3 — Dead code and stubs: - predictive-analytics.ts: replaced 11-line stub with 190-line implementation. predict() uses keyword overlap + historical success rate. predictOptimalAgent() returns best agent with >= 3 samples. - kernel/ directory: deleted. Standalone package with zero imports. - package.json: removed strray-analytics bin and analytics:daily scripts (pointed to non-existent files). - kernel-patterns.ts: learn() now writes to this.assumptions and this.cascades Maps instead of empty this.patterns Map. Includes confidence increment (+0.05 on match, cap 1.0) and decay (-0.02 on miss, floor 0.1). Phase 4 — Data quality: - rule-registry.ts: addRule() is now idempotent — silently updates on duplicate instead of throwing. Fixes codex-1 duplicate registration error that fired 5x per test run. - rule-registry.test.ts: updated tests for idempotent behavior. - outcome-tracker.ts: getPromptData() now computes real complexity (description length / 5, capped at 100) and extracts keywords (words > 3 chars, deduplicated, max 10) instead of returning 0/[]. All 2399 tests pass. Zero TS errors. --- kernel/bin/bytecode-vm.js | 547 ----------- kernel/bin/kernel.js | 269 ----- kernel/bin/vm.js | 210 ---- kernel/inference/BYTECODE.md | 297 ------ kernel/inference/PATTERNS.md | 667 ------------- kernel/inference/README.md | 918 ------------------ kernel/inference/index.md | 77 -- kernel/package.json | 24 - kernel/src/index.ts | 328 ------- kernel/tsconfig.json | 17 - package.json | 6 +- src/analytics/predictive-analytics.ts | 193 +++- src/core/kernel-patterns.ts | 69 +- src/delegation/agent-delegator.ts | 38 + src/delegation/analytics/outcome-tracker.ts | 8 +- .../core/__tests__/rule-registry.test.ts | 24 +- src/enforcement/core/rule-registry.ts | 6 +- src/services/inference-tuner.ts | 190 +++- 18 files changed, 489 insertions(+), 3399 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 kernel/bin/bytecode-vm.js delete mode 100644 kernel/bin/kernel.js delete mode 100644 kernel/bin/vm.js delete mode 100644 kernel/inference/BYTECODE.md delete mode 100644 kernel/inference/PATTERNS.md delete mode 100644 kernel/inference/README.md delete mode 100644 kernel/inference/index.md delete mode 100644 kernel/package.json delete mode 100644 kernel/src/index.ts delete mode 100644 kernel/tsconfig.json diff --git a/kernel/bin/bytecode-vm.js b/kernel/bin/bytecode-vm.js deleted file mode 100644 index c0ba7a3f3..000000000 --- a/kernel/bin/bytecode-vm.js +++ /dev/null @@ -1,547 +0,0 @@ -/** - * StringRay Inference Bytecode Interpreter - * - * A custom bytecode VM with instruction set - * - * @version 1.0.0-BYTECODE-VM - */ - -const fs = require('fs');

It is the cognitive bridge that allows a system to act meaningfully even when information is incomplete. - -In traditional software engineering, we document **what the code does**. In AI systems, we must document **what the reasoning does**. This distinction is fundamental: - -| Documentation Type | Question Answered | Output | -|-------------------|-------------------|--------| -| Traditional Docs | "How does this work?" | Specifications | -| API Reference | "How do I use this?" | Usage Guide | -| Inference Docs | "How does it think?" | Reasoning Traces | - -The StringRay Inference Kernel answers the third question. - -## 1.2 The Five Levels of Inference - -Every reasoning process in StringRay operates on five levels: - -``` -Level 1: PATTERN RECOGNITION - ══════════════════════ - Question: "Have I seen this before?" - Output: "This matches X, which I understand" - Mechanism: Memory retrieval and matching - Risk: False positives from superficial similarity - - ↓ - -Level 2: CAUSAL MAPPING - ══════════════════════ - Question: "What causes what?" - Output: "If X, then Y will happen" - Mechanism: Correlation analysis and hypothesis formation - Risk: Correlation mistaken for causation - - ↓ - -Level 3: ASSUMPTION SURFACING - ══════════════════════ - Question: "What am I taking for granted?" - Output: "I assume X is true, but haven't verified" - Mechanism: Meta-cognitive examination - Risk: Invisible assumptions remain invisible - - ↓ - -Level 4: COUNTERFACTUAL THINKING - ══════════════════════ - Question: "What if I'm wrong?" - Output: "If X weren't true, Y would be different" - Mechanism: Mental simulation and scenario analysis - Risk: Only checking obvious alternatives - - ↓ - -Level 5: META-INFERENCE - ══════════════════════ - Question: "How did I arrive at this conclusion?" - Output: "I followed this reasoning path: A→B→C→D" - Mechanism: Reasoning trace examination - Risk: Rationalization vs. actual reasoning -``` - -## 1.3 The Inference Cycle - -Every problem-solving session in StringRay follows the same fundamental cycle: - -``` -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ THE INFERENCE CYCLE │ -├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ -│ │ -│ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────────┐ ┌─────────┐ │ -│ │ OBSERVE │ ──▶ │ PATTERN │ ──▶ │ HYPOTHESIZE │ ──▶ │VALIDATE │ │ -│ └─────────┘ └─────────┘ └─────────────┘ └─────────┘ │ -│ │ │ │ │ -│ │ "What happened?" │ │ │ -│ │ "This matches X" │ │ │ -│ │ "If X, then Y" │ │ │ -│ │ │ │ │ -│ ▼ ▼ ▼ │ -│ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────────┐ ┌─────────┐ │ -│ │CONCLUDE │ ◀── │ ACT │ ◀── │ REFLECT │ ◀── │ LOOP │ │ -│ └─────────┘ └─────────┘ └─────────────┘ └─────────┘ │ -│ │ │ │ │ -│ │ "Therefore, do X" │ │ │ -│ │ "Fix the root cause" │ │ │ -│ │ "What did I learn?" │ │ │ -│ │ │ │ │ -│ └─────────────────────────────────────────┴──────────────┘ │ -│ │ │ -│ ▼ │ -│ ┌─────────────────────┐ │ -│ │ NEW UNDERSTANDING │ │ -│ │ → Update Patterns │ │ -│ └─────────────────────┘ │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ -``` - -## 1.4 The Inference Principles - -From 50+ reflections, these principles emerged as the foundation of StringRay's reasoning: - -### Principle 1: The 75% Threshold - -> *"The engine must function at 75% operational efficiency, or it cascades into infinity."* - -**Definition:** Beyond 75% operational efficiency, optimization costs exceed benefits exponentially. Perfect systems become brittle and cannot evolve. - -**Evidence:** StringRay operates at approximately 75% efficiency with: -- 99.6% error prevention (not 100%) -- 90% resource reduction achieved (not 100%) -- Modular architecture with intentional coupling tolerances - -**Inference:** The pursuit of perfection is an asymptotic trap. Every percentage point beyond 75% costs more than the last. - -### Principle 2: The Dev/Consumer Divide - -> *"Dev environment ≠ Consumer environment. Test where it runs."* - -**Definition:** Source code behavior and packaged behavior are fundamentally different. What works in development may fail in production. - -**Evidence:** MCP servers worked in dev (dormant) but failed in consumer (active). The path `require('./dist/')` worked locally but `require('strray-ai')` failed. - -**Inference:** Always verify in the target environment. Development is a simulation, not a representation. - -### Principle 3: The Constraint Trust Rule - -> *"Constraints exist for reasons you may not see. Ask 'Why?' not 'But why not?'"* - -**Definition:** When a constraint is presented, first assume there is a valid reason. Question it, but question with curiosity, not opposition. - -**Evidence:** The Architect's constraint "don't modify src/" protected the framework from unnecessary changes. When challenged, it was discovered that modifications would have broken 50+ working files. - -**Inference:** Those with more context often have good reasons for constraints. Trust, then verify. - -### Principle 4: The Unused Code Paradox - -> *"Code that isn't executed is worse than no code."* - -**Definition:** Unused code provides false confidence. It appears to solve problems but does nothing. - -**Evidence:** `fixMCPServerImports()` was defined but never called. Import paths were broken in consumer environments despite the "fix" existing. - -**Inference:** Verify execution, not just definition. Code that doesn't run is debt, not asset. - -### Principle 5: The Test Illusion - -> *"High test coverage doesn't guarantee absence of bugs."* - -**Definition:** Tests validate what they are designed to validate. What isn't tested isn't validated — it's assumed to work. - -**Evidence:** The researcher infinite loop existed despite 1044/1114 tests passing. The tests didn't test for infinite recursion. - -**Inference:** Test coverage is a measure of what's tested, not a measure of quality. - ---- - -# CHAPTER 2: THE SEVEN FATAL ASSUMPTIONS - -Every major bug in StringRay's history traced back to one of seven fatal assumptions. These are not mistakes — they are patterns that repeat until recognized. - -## 2.1 Assumption 1: "It Works In Dev, It Works Everywhere" - -### The Pattern - -``` -Developer writes code - ↓ -Tests pass in development - ↓ -Developer assumes code works - ↓ -Code is published - ↓ -FAILURE IN PRODUCTION -``` - -### Case Study: The MCP Server Path Crisis - -**Date:** February 2026 -**Version:** 1.6.x -**Reflection:** `esm-cjs-consumer-verification-2026-02-27.md` - -The MCP servers were configured with paths like: -```javascript -// Source code - worked locally -"./dist/mcps/orchestrator.server.js" - -// Consumer package - FAILED -// npm installed to node_modules/strray-ai/dist/mcps/ -``` - -**What Happened:** -1. Development environment had symlinks that masked the issue -2. The MCP server paths pointed to non-existent locations in consumer packages -3. Tests passed because they ran against source, not the npm package - -**The Fix:** -- Consumer path became default: `node_modules/strray-ai/dist/` -- Fresh npm install testing became mandatory - -**Inference Extracted:** -> When debugging, always ask: "Where does this code actually run?" - ---- - -## 2.2 Assumption 2: "The Tests Pass, So It's Working" - -### The Pattern - -``` -Tests are written - ↓ -Tests pass - ↓ -Developer trusts tests - ↓ -Code is shipped - ↓ -USERS REPORT BUGS -``` - -### Case Study: The Librarian Infinite Loop - -**Date:** January 2026 -**Version:** 1.3.x -**Reflection:** `researcher-bug-fix-and-framework-analysis-reflection.md` - -**What Happened:** -1. 1044 out of 1114 tests passed -2. The framework appeared functional -3. Users reported "researcher spawns infinite subagents" -4. Activity log analysis revealed 1,057 operations in 15 minutes -5. Root cause: recursive consultation loop - -**The Debugging Process:** -``` -Symptom: Framework hangs indefinitely - ↓ -Activity log analysis: 1,057 operations in 15 minutes - ↓ -Pattern detection: Librarian → Rule → Agent → Librarian - ↓ -Root cause: No recursion protection in consultation system - ↓ -Fix: Added spawn governor + consultation loop breaker -``` - -**Inference Extracted:** -> Tests validate what they're designed to test. The absence of failing tests doesn't mean the absence of bugs — it means the tests don't cover that failure mode. - ---- - -## 2.3 Assumption 3: "The Code Is Written, So It's Implemented" - -### The Pattern - -``` -Developer writes function - ↓ -Function is defined - ↓ -Developer assumes function runs - ↓ -Code is shipped - ↓ -FUNCTION NEVER EXECUTES -``` - -### Case Study: The Unused Function - -**Date:** February 2026 -**Reflection:** Multiple reflections on consumer path issues - -**What Happened:** -```typescript -// File exists: scripts/node/prepare-consumer.cjs -function fixMCPServerImports() { - // This function DOES fix the imports - // But it was NEVER CALLED - console.log("This runs, right?"); -} - -// The function existed for MONTHS -// Import paths were broken the entire time -// Because nobody VERIFIED the call -``` - -**The Fix:** -- Added function invocation in the postinstall process -- Verification became mandatory - -**Inference Extracted:** -> Define → Export → Import → Call → Verify → Execute. Six steps. Skipping any is a bug waiting to happen. - ---- - -## 2.4 Assumption 4: "I Understand The Framework" - -### The Pattern - -``` -Developer reads documentation - ↓ -Developer believes they understand - ↓ -Developer makes changes - ↓ -CHANGES BREAK WORKING CODE -``` - -### Case Study: The Constraint Challenge - -**Date:** February 2026 -**Reflection:** `the-wisdom-of-constraints-2026-02-27.md` - -**What Happened:** -1. Developer (me) wanted to modify `src/index.ts` -2. The Architect said: "Don't modify src/" -3. Developer asked: "But why not?" -4. Response: "Trust the constraint" - -**The Investigation:** -``` -Constraint: "Don't modify src/" - ↓ -Question: "Why?" - ↓ -Investigation: Would have broken 50+ files - ↓ -Realization: The constraint was PROTECTION, not ignorance - ↓ -Inference: Trust constraints from those with more context -``` - -**Inference Extracted:** -> When facing a constraint, first assume there is a reason. Then investigate with curiosity, not opposition. - ---- - -## 2.5 Assumption 5: "Manual Processes Work" - -### The Pattern - -``` -Developer performs manual process - ↓ -Developer believes process completed - ↓ -Code is shipped - ↓ -PROCESS WAS INCOMPLETE -``` - -### Case Study: The Version Chaos - -**Date:** February 2026 -**Reflection:** `deployment-crisis-journey-deep-reflection.md` - -**What Happened:** -``` -1. Developer: "I'll remember to run version manager" -2. Developer: "I'll remember to sync versions" -3. Developer: "I'll remember to test in fresh environment" - -Result: -- 7 failed npm publishes -- 9 versions in registry (should be 3) -- README showed wrong version -- Source files had different versions -``` - -**The Fix:** -- 3-layer automated enforcement: - 1. Pre-commit hook (blocks local) - 2. CI/CD workflow (blocks PRs) - 3. Preversion hook (auto-syncs) - -**Inference Extracted:** -> If a step can be forgotten, it will be forgotten. Manual processes are design flaws waiting to happen. - ---- - -## 2.6 Assumption 6: "More Tests = More Quality" - -### The Pattern - -``` -Developers add tests - ↓ -Coverage increases - ↓ -Quality assumed to improve - ↓ -Technical debt accumulates hidden - ↓ -BUGS SURFACE IN PRODUCTION -``` - -### Case Study: The Skipped Tests Crisis - -**Date:** January 2026 -**Reflection:** `test-fixing-system-reflection.md` - -**What Happened:** -``` -Original state: -- 47 skipped tests -- 10 failing test files -- "42 failing tests" reported - -Reality: -- Tests were skipped to hide failures -- Skipped tests = architectural debt -- 24 it.skip() statements hidden systemic issues - -The "42 failing tests" weren't bugs - they were symptoms -``` - -**The Fix:** -- Tests were fixed, not skipped -- Regular test health audits became mandatory -- "Test health score" became a metric - -**Inference Extracted:** -> Tests don't just validate code — they validate architecture. Skipped tests are warning signs, not achievements. - ---- - -## 2.7 Assumption 7: "Optimization Is Always Good" - -### The Pattern - -``` -Developer optimizes - ↓ -Metrics improve - ↓ -More optimization applied - ↓ -SYSTEM BECOMES BRITTLE -``` - -### Case Study: The 75% Threshold Discovery - -**Date:** January 2026 -**Reflection:** `architectural-threshold-75-efficiency-reflection.md` - -**What Happened:** -``` -Initial belief: "If 85% is good, 90% is better, 95% is best" - -Reality discovered: -- Each percentage point beyond 75% costs exponentially more -- Perfectly optimized systems cannot evolve -- "Optimization" created new edge cases - -The StringRay solution: -- Target 75% operational efficiency -- Leave room to evolve -- Accept "just good enough" -``` - -**Inference Extracted:** -> There is a point where optimization becomes its own enemy. Beyond 75%, you're not improving — you're digging a hole. - ---- - -# CHAPTER 3: THE CORE INFERENCE ENGINE - -## 3.1 Architecture Overview - -The StringRay Inference Engine operates on three interconnected systems: - -``` -┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ -│ INFERENCE ENGINE ARCHITECTURE │ -├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ -│ │ -│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ -│ │ OBSERVATION LAYER │ │ -│ │ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ │ │ -│ │ │ Activity │ │ Error │ │ Metric │ │ State │ │ │ -│ │ │ Log │ │ Traces │ │ Collector│ │ Monitor │ │ │ -│ │ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ │ │ -│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ -│ ↓ │ -│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ -│ │ PATTERN LAYER │ │ -│ │ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ │ │ -│ │ │ Pattern │ │ Causal │ │Assumption│ │Counter- │ │ │ -│ │ │ Detector │ │ Mapper │ │ Surfacers│ │ factual │ │ │ -│ │ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ │ │ -│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ -│ ↓ │ -│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ -│ │ DECISION LAYER │ │ -│ │ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ │ │ -│ │ │ Decision │ │ Action │ │ Execution │ │ Feedback │ │ │ -│ │ │ Matrix │ │ Planner │ │ Router │ │ Loops │ │ │ -│ │ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ │ │ -│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ -│ │ -└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ -``` - -## 3.2 The Observation Layer - -### Activity Log Analysis - -The framework maintains an activity log that captures every operation: - -```typescript -interface ActivityEntry { - timestamp: Date; - operation: string; - agent: string; - status: 'success' | 'error' | 'pending'; - duration: number; - metadata: Record; -} -``` - -**Case Study: Librarian Infinite Loop Detection** - -``` -Activity Log Analysis: -- 1,057 operations in 15 minutes -- 70.7% success rate -- Recursive pattern detected: - Librarian → Rule → Agent → Librarian → Rule → Agent... - -Detection mechanism: -- High operation frequency (>70/minute) -- Recursive pattern recognition -- Success rate anomaly -``` - -### Error Trace Collection - -Every error is captured with full context: - -```typescript -interface ErrorTrace { - error: Error; - stack: string; - context: { - agent: string; - operation: string; - inputs: any; - state: any; - }; - chain: ErrorTrace[]; // Previous errors in chain -} -``` - -### Metric Collection - -Key metrics tracked: -- Operation success rate -- Response time percentiles -- Resource utilization -- Agent delegation accuracy -- Rule enforcement compliance - ---- - -## 3.3 The Pattern Layer - -### Pattern Detection - -Patterns are detected through statistical analysis: - -```typescript -interface Pattern { - name: string; - frequency: number; - confidence: number; - conditions: PatternCondition[]; - outcomes: PatternOutcome[]; -} - -interface PatternCondition { - metric: string; - operator: '>' | '<' | '=' | 'contains'; - value: any; -} - -interface PatternOutcome { - subsequent_metric: string; - expected_change: number; - confidence: number; -} -``` - -### Causal Mapping - -Correlations are elevated to causal hypotheses through: - -1. **Temporal precedence**: Cause must precede effect -2. **Correlation strength**: >0.7 correlation required -3. **Plausibility**: Mechanism must be explainable -4. **Specificity**: Cause must specifically produce effect - -### Assumption Surfacing - -Assumptions are surfaced through: - -1. **Constraint analysis**: What must be true for this to work?

The food was being cooked, plated, and then thrown directly into the trash. + +--- + +## The Kitchen + +StringRay has this massive analytics stack. 15 files in `src/analytics/`. An outcome tracker that persists to disk. A pattern learning engine with 383 lines of real logic. An emerging pattern detector doing actual clustering. A routing refiner generating 575 lines of optimization suggestions. A routing performance analyzer. A prompt pattern analyzer. A pattern performance tracker. All of it wired internally, all of it doing real work, all of it producing output that went absolutely nowhere. + +I started by mapping everything. Every file that touched inference, calibration, tuning, or the kernel. The subagents fanned out — one reading kernel code, one auditing CLI commands, me running the actual tools. `npx strray-ai inference:tuner --run-once` printed "Tuning cycle complete" and did nothing. `npx strray-ai inference:improve` loaded 0 routing outcomes. `npx strray-ai calibrate` — doesn't exist. `analytics:daily` — dead file reference. `strray-analytics` bin — dead file reference. + +The kernel was alive but not learning. It ran pattern matching against 9 Fatal Assumptions and 8 Bug Cascade Patterns, could block tasks and flag issues, but its `learn()` method wrote to `this.patterns` — a Map that was never populated. The router was a `.d.ts` type definition. The actual implementation had been refactored away. 48 keyword mappings, 374 keywords, 24 agents in routing-mappings.json, and nothing at runtime to consume them. + +The predictive analytics module was 11 lines. It returned null. + +--- + +## The One-Line Fix That Changes Everything + +Here's the thing that got me. The inference tuner had a method called `addKeywordMapping()`. It took four parameters — keyword, agent, skill, confidence — and returned false. Always. That was it. The entire tuning pipeline ran end-to-end: it loaded outcomes, analyzed patterns, generated suggestions from the routing refiner, called `suggestMappingsFromPatterns()`, iterated through the suggestions, called `addKeywordMapping()` for each one, and then... nothing. Every single suggestion hit the `return false` wall. + +The fix was 150 lines of write-back logic. Read routing-mappings.json. Check for conflicts (keyword already mapped to a different agent). If it's the same agent, boost confidence. If it's a new keyword for an existing agent/skill combo, append it. If it's genuinely new, create a new mapping entry. Write back to disk. + +That one change — making `addKeywordMapping()` actually do something — activates the entire 3,000-line analytics pipeline as a learning system. The outcome tracker collects routing results. The pattern learning engine analyzes them. The routing refiner generates optimization suggestions. The inference tuner applies them to routing-mappings.json. Next time routing happens, it uses the updated mappings. Rinse, repeat. + +It went from a one-way observability pipe to a closed feedback loop. + +--- + +## The Codex Error That Wasn't + +One of the first things I noticed running tests was the codex-1 duplicate registration error, firing 5 times per test run. The error message was clean: "Rule with ID 'codex-1' already exists in registry." The fix seemed obvious — make `addRule()` idempotent. But I wanted to understand *why* it was happening before I fixed it. + +The `RuleEnforcer` constructor calls `initializeRules()` synchronously, which registers hardcoded rules. Then it calls `loadAsyncRules()` fire-and-forget (no await). That async loader uses a `LoaderOrchestrator` which spins up a `CodexLoader`, an `AgentTriageLoader`, a `ProcessorLoader`, and an `AgentsMdValidationLoader`. The `CodexLoader` reads `.opencode/strray/codex.json` and converts 60 codex terms into `RuleDefinition` objects, each with ID `codex-${key}`. Then the orchestrator calls `this.addRule(rule)` for each one. + +The singleton `ruleEnforcer` at the bottom of rule-enforcer.ts triggers this once. But the async loading is fire-and-forget, and the RuleRegistry throws on duplicates. If anything causes the enforcer to be instantiated twice — a test that creates a fresh instance after the singleton exists, a hot-reload, a module re-import — the async loader from the first instantiation might still be running when the second instantiation starts registering the same codex rules. The race condition. + +Making `addRule()` idempotent was the right fix. Not because the error was complex, but because the semantics of "register this rule" should be "ensure this rule exists with this definition" — not "fail if someone already registered something with this ID." The test suite had two tests asserting that duplicates should throw. I rewrote them to assert idempotent behavior. Because the old behavior was a bug masquerading as a feature. + +--- + +## The Router Is a Ghost + +The `task-skill-router.d.ts` is a 180-line type definition file. It defines `routeTask()`, `RoutingResult`, `RoutingOptions`, the whole interface. But the `.ts` implementation was refactored away at some point. Only the type definition survives. + +Meanwhile, `strray/routing-mappings.json` has 48 keyword mappings. The `agent-delegator.ts` has a `determineAgents()` method that does... none of that. It uses hardcoded if/else chains. If operation is "security", push security-auditor. If operation is "review", push code-reviewer. If operation is "design", push architect. If complexity is multi-agent and risk is critical, push security-auditor. It's a decision tree hard-baked into the code. + +I didn't fix the router. That's a bigger piece of work — it needs a real implementation that consumes the routing-mappings.json at runtime. What I did instead was add a feedback layer: when the top agent from the hardcoded logic has confidence below 0.85, the delegator now consults `predictiveAnalytics.predictSync()` to see if historical outcomes suggest a better agent. It's a band-aid on top of a hardcoded system, but it's a band-aid that actually uses real data. + +--- + +## The Predictive Analytics That Wasn't + +The original `predictive-analytics.ts` was 11 lines. An interface, a function signature, `return null`. That's it. + +I replaced it with 190 lines. The `predict()` method loads outcomes from disk, groups them by agent, calculates keyword overlap between the current task description and historical descriptions, and picks the agent with the best weighted score (70% keyword overlap + 30% historical success rate). The `predictOptimalAgent()` method returns the agent with the highest success rate among those with at least 3 samples. I also added `predictSync()` — the same logic but operating on in-memory data without a disk reload — because the agent-delegator needed it in a synchronous context. + +The predictive analytics won't be very useful until there's actual routing data flowing through the system. Right now there are 4 test outcomes in `routing-outcomes.json`. You need real usage to generate the pattern data that makes predictions meaningful. But the infrastructure is ready. Once the feedback loop starts running — outcomes get recorded, patterns get analyzed, refinements get written back — the predictions will get better with every cycle. + +--- + +## The Kernel That Couldn't Learn + +The kernel is interesting. It's actually running in production — 4 consumers import it (orchestrator, agent-delegator, regression-analysis, CLI). It pattern-matches against 9 Fatal Assumptions and 8 Bug Cascade Patterns. It can block tasks (P7 Release Readiness) and trigger deeper analysis. + +But `learn()` was writing to `this.patterns`, a Map that was never populated by anything. The fix: make `learn()` iterate `this.assumptions` and `this.cascades` — the Maps that actually hold data. If an assumption's triggers match the input, increment its confidence by 0.05 (capped at 1.0). If a cascade's patterns are referenced, same thing. And decay: assumptions not matched in the current input lose 0.02 confidence per cycle (floor 0.1). + +It's a simple reinforcement signal. Match more → higher confidence. Match less → decay. The kernel is now actually learning from the tasks it analyzes. It won't transform routing overnight, but it's the beginning of a signal that can feed back into the broader analytics pipeline. + +--- + +## What Got Cut + +I planned to hook the inference tuner into the Hermes plugin lifecycle — trigger a tuning cycle every N tool calls. I deferred it. The Hermes plugin is a Python bridge that talks to StringRay via subprocess calls. Adding a `npx strray-ai inference:tuner --run-once` shell-out on every 50th tool call would work, but it's heavy and the CLI already exists for manual runs. The framework-side feedback loop is the critical piece. The plugin-side automation can come later when we have real data to work with. + +--- + +## The Dead Code + +I deleted the `kernel/` standalone package. 10 files — a bytecode VM, pattern docs, its own package.json. Zero imports from `src/`. It was a proof-of-concept or an earlier iteration that got superseded by `src/core/kernel-patterns.ts` but never cleaned up. + +I removed `strray-analytics` from the bin section and `analytics:daily` from scripts in package.json. Both pointed to `dist/scripts/analytics/daily-routing-analysis.js` — a file that doesn't exist. These were ghosts from a cleanup that happened on master (the big 28K-line deletion I saw in the git pull) but the package.json references weren't cleaned up until now. + +--- + +## The Data Quality Problem + +The outcome tracker's `getPromptData()` method — which converts outcomes into data points for pattern analysis — was returning `complexity: 0` and `keywords: []` for every single outcome. Hardcoded. With a comment: "Would need to be calculated from prompt." + +So all this beautiful analytics infrastructure — the pattern learning engine, the emerging pattern detector, the routing performance analyzer — was operating on data where every outcome had the same complexity (zero) and no keywords. The pattern analysis was comparing identical feature vectors. It's like trying to train a vision model where every image is pure black. + +The fix was trivial: complexity = `Math.min(100, Math.floor(description.length / 5))`, keywords = unique words > 3 chars, max 10. Not sophisticated, but it's actual signal. The difference between a 10-word bug report and a 200-word architectural design will now show up as different complexity scores. The keywords will actually vary between tasks. + +--- + +## What This Means + +Before this PR, StringRay had a sophisticated analytics system that was purely observational. It watched. It recorded. It analyzed. But it couldn't change anything. The routing refiner generated suggestions that nobody read. The pattern learning engine detected drift that nobody acted on. The inference tuner ran cycles that produced no output. + +After this PR, there's a closed loop: + +1. Tasks get routed to agents (hardcoded, but routing happens) +2. Outcomes get recorded (success/failure, complexity, keywords) +3. Pattern performance tracker detects drift +4. Routing refiner generates optimization suggestions +5. Inference tuner applies suggestions to routing-mappings.json +6. Predictive analytics uses historical data to suggest better routing +7. Agent delegator consults predictions when confidence is low +8. Kernel learns from task patterns, adjusts assumption confidence + +Steps 1-8 form a cycle. The system improves itself. Slowly at first — it needs data — but the mechanism exists now. The kitchen has plates. The dining room is open. + +The first few tuning cycles won't do much. There aren't enough outcomes yet.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The inference tuner was dry — only the MCP orchestrator recorded outcomes, so the auto-tune at call #100 always hit the 'insufficient data' guard. Normal tool calls (write, edit, search, etc.) never fed into the analytics pipeline. OpenCode plugin (strray-codex-injection.ts): - Added TOOL_AGENT_MAP: maps tool names (write, edit, bash, search, read, glob, grep, ls) to agent/skill identifiers - After every tool.execute.after, imports routingOutcomeTracker and records the outcome with tool name, args description, agent/skill mapping, confidence, and success status Hermes plugin (__init__.py): - Added _TOOL_AGENT_MAP: same mapping for Hermes tool names (write_file, patch, execute_code, terminal, search_files, etc.) - Added _record_tool_outcome(): writes directly to logs/framework/routing-outcomes.json (same format as TS tracker) - Called from _on_post_tool_call after error detection - Circular buffer: keeps last 1000 outcomes - Supports wildcard patterns (browser_*) Both plugins now feed real data into the analytics pipeline. By call #100, the tuner has ~100 outcomes to analyze. Instance-level tuning is fully functional. Upstream tuning (sending calibration data to Jelly) still requires the Jelly API — tracked separately. 127 test files, 2399 tests green. --- src/integrations/hermes-agent/__init__.py | 79 +++++++++++++++++++++++ src/plugin/strray-codex-injection.ts | 43 ++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 122 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/integrations/hermes-agent/__init__.py b/src/integrations/hermes-agent/__init__.py index ed6b87b0c..53d49cb54 100644 --- a/src/integrations/hermes-agent/__init__.py +++ b/src/integrations/hermes-agent/__init__.py @@ -79,6 +79,20 @@ def _find_project_root(): # Tools that produce/modify code — these get the full pipeline _CODE_TOOLS = {"write_file", "patch", "execute_code", "write", "edit"} +# Map tool names to agent/skill for outcome tracking +_TOOL_AGENT_MAP = { + "write_file": ("code-reviewer", "write"), + "patch": ("code-reviewer", "patch"), + "execute_code": ("testing-lead", "execution"), + "write": ("code-reviewer", "write"), + "edit": ("code-reviewer", "edit"), + "terminal": ("testing-lead", "execution"), + "search_files": ("researcher", "search"), + "read_file": ("researcher", "read"), + "browser_*": ("researcher", "browser"), + "delegate_task": ("orchestrator", "delegation"), +} + # Tools where StringRay has a better alternative # terminal: only nudge when the command looks lint/security/search related _BETTER_WITH_STRRAY = { @@ -327,6 +341,9 @@ def _on_post_tool_call(tool_name: str, args: dict, result, task_id: str, **kwarg error = result["error"] _log_tool_event("complete", tool_name, args, duration, error) + # Record outcome for the inference feedback loop + _record_tool_outcome(tool_name, args or {}, error is None) + # delegate_task: validate all files the subagent changed if tool_name == "delegate_task": tid = kwargs.get("task_id", "") or args.get("task_id", "") or task_id @@ -456,6 +473,68 @@ def _strray_command(args: str) -> str: ) +# ── Outcome tracking (feeds inference tuner) ────────────────── + +_OUTCOMES_PATH = PROJECT_ROOT / "logs" / "framework" / "routing-outcomes.json" +_MAX_OUTCOMES = 1000 + + +def _record_tool_outcome(tool_name: str, args: dict, success: bool): + """Append a routing outcome to routing-outcomes.json. + + Writes directly to the JSON file (same format the TS outcome tracker uses) + so both OpenCode and Hermes plugin outcomes are visible to the tuner. + """ + call_num = _session_stats.get("total_tool_calls", 0) + + # Look up agent/skill mapping + agent, skill = "direct", tool_name + for pattern, mapped in _TOOL_AGENT_MAP.items(): + if pattern.endswith("*"): + if tool_name.startswith(pattern[:-1]): + agent, skill = mapped + break + elif tool_name == pattern: + agent, skill = mapped + break + + # Build description from args + if isinstance(args, dict): + content = args.get("content") or args.get("path") or args.get("filePath") or "" + description = str(content)[:200] if content else f"tool call: {tool_name}" + else: + description = f"tool call: {tool_name}" + + outcome = { + "taskId": f"hermes-{call_num}", + "taskDescription": description, + "routedAgent": agent, + "routedSkill": skill, + "confidence": 0.8 if agent != "direct" else 0.5, + "success": success, + "timestamp": datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat(), + "routingMethod": "keyword" if agent != "direct" else "default", + } + + try: + _OUTCOMES_PATH.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) + if _OUTCOMES_PATH.exists(): + with open(_OUTCOMES_PATH, "r") as f: + outcomes = json.load(f) + else: + outcomes = [] + + outcomes.append(outcome) + # Circular buffer — keep last N outcomes + if len(outcomes) > _MAX_OUTCOMES: + outcomes = outcomes[-_MAX_OUTCOMES:] + + with open(_OUTCOMES_PATH, "w") as f: + json.dump(outcomes, f, indent=2) + except Exception as e: + logger.debug("[strray] outcome recording failed: %s", e) + + # ── Inference tuning (auto-calibration) ──────────────────────── def _run_inference_tune(): diff --git a/src/plugin/strray-codex-injection.ts b/src/plugin/strray-codex-injection.ts index ad8e3ce37..172a7ecbb 100644 --- a/src/plugin/strray-codex-injection.ts +++ b/src/plugin/strray-codex-injection.ts @@ -503,6 +503,23 @@ const INFERENCE_TUNE_INTERVAL = 100;

Falls back to hardcoded if nothing hits. 2. Predictive analytics threshold dropped from 0.85 to 0.7 so the prediction layer actually fires instead of being suppressed by hardcoded high-confidence values. 3. Task-type classification added to both OpenCode and Hermes plugin outcome recording. Tool calls are now classified (testing, build, security, lint, git, etc.) instead of every terminal call being recorded as 'testing-lead/execution'. RoutingOutcome interface gains optional taskType field.
