translate the system prompt constant and the user-message template in
backend/app/services/ontology_generator.py from chinese to english.
the chinese base prompt was biasing the model toward chinese structure
and word choice even when accept-language was en, leaving ontology
descriptions and analysis_summary fields chinese-flavoured.
translation is in-place and preserves every functional contract: the
json output schema, the entity-type and relationship-type taxonomies
verbatim, the reserved-attribute-name list, the count and length
constraints, and all f-string interpolations. the
get_language_instruction() postfix call site and the trailing english
identifier-format directive are unchanged, so zh and other locales
continue to receive locale-appropriate descriptions.
logger calls, docstrings, and inline comments are intentionally left
in chinese — they are owned by issues #6 and #7.
a small static guard script (backend/scripts/test_ontology_prompts_no_cjk.py)
ast-parses the module and asserts zero cjk in the system prompt and in
every string literal of _build_user_message except the docstring, so
the regression cannot reappear silently.
Closes#2
Adds a Neo4j service to docker-compose so `docker compose up -d` works
on a clean checkout, and unhardcodes Graphiti's LLM/embedder so the
documented default provider (Qwen via Dashscope) actually works.
- docker-compose: neo4j:5-community service with cypher-shell
healthcheck, named volumes, and `depends_on: service_healthy` on the
app container; in-Docker NEO4J_URI override leaves the host-mode
default untouched.
- Config: new GRAPHITI_LLM_PROVIDER (openai|gemini, default openai) plus
optional EMBEDDING_API_KEY / EMBEDDING_BASE_URL that fall back to the
chat LLM credentials.
- graphiti_adapter: provider switch inside the singleton factory with
lazy per-provider imports; Gemini path is preserved exactly. The
no-op `_GeminiReranker` becomes a provider-agnostic
`_PassthroughReranker`, still injected explicitly so Graphiti does
not fall back to its OpenAI-only default reranker.
- Drop the ignored `reranker=` kwarg from `_GraphNamespace.search` and
the misleading callers in `zep_tools.py` and
`oasis_profile_generator.py`.
- Refresh `.env.example` to mirror the README env section.
Spec, requirements, and design under
`.kiro/specs/graphiti-neo4j-finalize/`.
Closes#1
Add .kiro/steering/ as persistent project memory for CC-SDD / Kiro
workflows. Three core files (product, tech, structure) capture
purpose, stack, and organization patterns; three custom files
(database, api-standards, error-handling) pin the load-bearing
project-specific conventions:
- group_id isolation and the Graphiti adapter / event-loop singleton
- {success, data|error} envelope and the Task polling contract
- reasoning-model output stripping and the retry_with_backoff helper
Files focus on patterns and decisions, not catalogs, per the
steering-principles "golden rule".
Adopt CC-SDD (Kiro) as the project's spec-driven planning tool, with
plans persisted in .kiro/specs/ and a checkpoint after every task
(strictest cadence — no code without an approved plan).
CC-SDD install (via npx cc-sdd@latest --claude --lang en):
- .kiro/settings/rules/: EARS format, gap-analysis, design and
requirements review gates, design discovery, tasks generation,
steering principles, parallel-task analysis.
- .kiro/settings/templates/: specs (init, requirements, design, tasks,
research) and steering (product/tech/structure plus optional
api-standards/auth/db/deployment/error-handling/security/testing).
- .claude/commands/kiro/: 11 Kiro slash commands — spec-init,
spec-requirements, spec-design, spec-tasks, spec-impl, spec-status,
steering, steering-custom, validate-gap, validate-design,
validate-impl.
Local additions:
- .claude/commands/plan.md: /plan [task] wrapper that picks up the task
from $ARGUMENTS or a single .ticket/<n>.md snapshot, walks the Kiro
flow (steering -> spec-init -> spec-requirements -> validate-gap ->
spec-design -> validate-design -> spec-tasks) and stops for human
approval after each artefact. Refuses "just code it" requests.
- .claude/hooks/session_start.sh: extend to print active tickets
(.ticket/*.md) and open specs (.kiro/specs/*/) with phase from
spec.json, alongside the existing branch/state line.
