* fix: stop top_k=0 from reaching Turbopuffer on message search
HONCHO-19Q: dreamer search_messages passed LLM limit=0 through to
Turbopuffer (top_k must be 1..10000). #970 guarded documents; this
closes the message path and floors tool limits at 1.
* fix: preserve pgvector None sentinel on zero top_k
query_external_vector_document_ids must return None when on the
pgvector path before applying the top_k<=0 empty-list guard.
* fix: apply session scoping to all working-representation query paths
session_name was only applied to the recent-documents query in
RepresentationManager; the semantic and most-derived paths ignored it,
so limit_to_session leaked cross-session conclusions into perspectives.
- Thread a session allowlist (session_names) uniformly through all
three query paths; pushed down to pgvector and external vector stores
- Accept a list so the upcoming session-allowlist API reuses this path
- Fail closed on an empty allowlist (downstream stores drop empty IN
clauses, which would silently widen scope)
Fixes DEV-1994

* feat: bare-list membership sugar in the filter DSL
{"session_id": ["s1", "s2"]} is now shorthand for
{"session_id": {"in": [...]}} on regular columns, generically
(peer_id, etc.). JSONB metadata columns are excluded — a bare list
there keeps JSONB containment semantics, unchanged.
Previously a bare list on a regular column compiled to a type-mismatched
equality that matched nothing, so this is strictly additive.
Also translates the same shape in the turbopuffer/lancedb filter
builders, and fixes lancedb dropping empty IN clauses (fail-open) —
an empty membership list now emits an always-false condition.
Groundwork for DEV-1995 (session allowlist via the existing filters
DSL, no new API params)

* fix: fail closed on empty session allowlist across all filter builders
Empty session allowlists relied solely on the early-return guard in
_get_working_representation_internal. The layers below it were
inconsistent, so a future direct caller (the DEV-1995 allowlist API)
would silently widen scope instead of failing closed:
- _build_filter_conditions used a truthiness check; an empty list was
treated like None and dropped the filter. Now uses `is not None`,
matching the recent/most-derived SQL paths.
- turbopuffer emitted a bare `In []` with undocumented (possibly
fail-open) semantics. Now emits an explicit always-false predicate,
mirroring lancedb's `1 = 0`.
Also extract the duplicated JSONB column tuple in filter.py to a
JSONB_COLUMNS constant.
Tests exercise each fail-closed guarantee at the layer it lives, rather
than masking it behind the early-return guard.

* feat(embedding): add dimensions_mode for OpenAI dimensions= forwarding
Add EMBEDDING_MODEL_CONFIG__DIMENSIONS_MODE (auto|always|never) controlling
whether the dimensions= parameter is forwarded on OpenAI embeddings.create
calls. auto (default) sends it when the operator explicitly set
EMBEDDING_VECTOR_DIMENSIONS and the configured model is not on the
known-rejecting allowlist (currently text-embedding-ada-002).
The provenance check (was VECTOR_DIMENSIONS explicitly set?) lives as
EmbeddingSettings.resolve_send_dimensions() because it needs access to
model_fields_set, which the standalone resolver does not have. The
resolved boolean is passed into _EmbeddingClient at construction time;
the client never inspects mode or provenance.
Also pins cloudevents <2.0 — 2.0.0 reorganized the package and dropped
cloudevents.conversion and cloudevents.http, which src/telemetry/emitter.py
imports. The original `>=1.12.0` constraint allowed the broken 2.0 resolve.
With the pin, the imports resolve cleanly and the basedpyright warning
cascade (37+ warnings about unknown types) disappears.
Drive-by cleanups (all unnecessary cast/ignore comments flagged by
basedpyright after the cloudevents downgrade):
- vector_store/lancedb.py, tests/conftest.py, and
tests/deriver/test_vector_reconciliation.py — drop dead pyright ignores
- sdks/python/src/honcho/http/{async_,}client.py — drop unnecessary
cast(datetime, ...) (parsedate_to_datetime already returns datetime)
- vector_store/turbopuffer.py — cast(Any, rows) for the upsert_rows
TypedDict that the SDK exposes but our row builder doesn't satisfy
- tests/test_datetime_parsing.py — ignore reportArgumentType on the
test that deliberately passes wrong types to assert raises
* feat(models): honor EMBEDDING_VECTOR_DIMENSIONS in pgvector columns
* feat(startup): atomic swap dim-vs-MIGRATED guard for runtime schema validator
Add src/startup/embedding_validator.py that introspects the actual pgvector
column dim at boot and refuses to start if it does not match
EMBEDDING_VECTOR_DIMENSIONS. Runs after the DB pool is up and before the
embedding client is constructed, in both src/main.py (FastAPI lifespan) and
src/deriver/__main__.py.
Implementation details:
- Schema-qualified pg_attribute join through pg_class/pg_namespace respects
DB.SCHEMA rather than relying on search_path
- Bounded retry (3 attempts, 1s backoff) for transient introspection failure,
then fail-closed with "could not validate embedding schema" — uncertainty
is not a green light to serve traffic
- External-store sampler (turbopuffer, lancedb) enumerates workspaces from
the application DB and probes their lazy-created namespaces; current
per-namespace probe is a no-op stub since the SDKs do not expose
uniform dim introspection — full enumeration is left to
`configure_embeddings --report` in Phase 3
Atomic guard swap: deletes the old dim-vs-MIGRATED config validator (which
forbade non-1536 pgvector unless MIGRATED=True) in the same commit as the
new runtime validator. There is no release window where non-1536 pgvector
can start unprotected. The 9 dual-write branches that use VECTOR_STORE.MIGRATED
remain untouched and load-bearing for legacy-tenant backend swaps.
VECTOR_STORE_DIMENSIONS deprecation: drop the "must match" raise; in
propagate_namespace, check model_fields_set and emit logger.warning +
DeprecationWarning (DeprecationWarning alone is filtered by Python's default
config and would not reach operators). Always overwrite with
EMBEDDING.VECTOR_DIMENSIONS regardless.
Test changes:
- tests/test_models_vector_dim.py: Phase 1's VECTOR_STORE_TYPE=lancedb +
MIGRATED=true escape hatches removed; the test now passes on plain
EMBEDDING_VECTOR_DIMENSIONS=768
- tests/llm/test_model_config.py: the two tests asserting the old guards
replaced with tests for the new deprecation + acceptance behavior
- tests/startup/test_embedding_validator.py: 10 new tests — dim assertion
logic (pass/mismatch/missing/unbounded/non-public-schema), fail-closed
retry budget, real-test-DB pass, real-DB ALTER-then-validate, deprecation
warning capture, non-1536 + pgvector + MIGRATED=false at config time
* feat(scripts): add configure_embeddings bootstrap CLI
Adds scripts/configure_embeddings.py alongside the other one-off scripts
(provision_db, migrate_db, generate_jwt_secret, etc.). Invoked as
`uv run python scripts/configure_embeddings.py` — same convention as the
existing scripts in that directory, including the sys.path shim that
lets src.* imports resolve when run directly.
Bootstrap step for self-hosted installs at a non-default
EMBEDDING_VECTOR_DIMENSIONS — runs between `alembic upgrade head` and
starting the API/deriver.
pgvector ALTER safety (single transaction):
- LOCK TABLE {schema}.documents, {schema}.message_embeddings IN ACCESS
EXCLUSIVE MODE — closes the TOCTOU window between population check
and ALTER
- COUNT(*) WHERE embedding IS NOT NULL on both tables; refuse with a
non-zero exit if either is populated (ALTER ... USING NULL would
silently wipe those vectors)
- Snapshot HNSW index DDL from pg_indexes; drop, ALTER, recreate from
the captured DDL so operator-set HNSW params (m, ef_construction)
survive the round trip
External vector stores (turbopuffer, lancedb) are never created or
modified — namespaces are per-workspace and lazy-created on first write.
The --report mode enumerates workspaces and collections from the
application DB, derives the expected namespaces via
get_vector_namespace(), and prints a per-namespace status table.
CLI modes (mutually exclusive):
- (default) interactive: print plan, prompt to confirm
- --dry-run: print plan and exit 0 without touching the DB
- --yes: apply without prompt
- --report: print external-store namespace inventory and exit
Also updates src/startup/embedding_validator.py error-message paths and
docs/v3/contributing/configuration.mdx invocations to point at the new
script location.
Tests cover plan no-op, plan needs-alter, plan raises on missing column,
ALTER + HNSW round-trip, refuse-when-populated (monkeypatched count to
avoid wiring the full workspace/peer/collection/document FK chain just
to land one vector row), and idempotency.
* docs: add changing-embeddings operations page
Document the supported way to change EMBEDDING_VECTOR_DIMENSIONS or
EMBEDDING_MODEL_CONFIG__MODEL on a Honcho deployment: provision a new
deployment at the desired configuration, replay source data out of
band, cut over at the application layer.
The page explains the asymmetry:
- Dimension is machine-enforced as immutable. The startup validator
introspects pg_attribute and crashes the API/deriver on mismatch.
- Model is operator-owned. There is no persistent metadata recording
which model produced each vector, so a same-dim model swap is
silently undetectable — flagged with a Warning callout.
Also documents the truncation edge case (text-embedding-3-large truncated to 1536 with EMBEDDING_VECTOR_DIMENSIONS left at default)
and the DIMENSIONS_MODE=always mitigation, plus a pointer that
storage-backend swap (VECTOR_STORE_MIGRATED + reconciler) is a distinct operation unaffected by this work.
Registers the page in docs/docs.json under the Self-Hosting nav group
and cross-links from configuration.mdx.
* fix(embedding): correct turbopuffer regex + tighten DIMENSIONS_MODE docs
- Turbopuffer attribute type for a vector column is `[N]f32` / `[N]f16` /
`[N]i8`, not `f32_vector(N)` as the earlier probe assumed. The earlier
regex returned None for the real SDK format, so existing Turbopuffer
namespaces would have been reported as "missing" instead of validated
for mismatch. Regex switched to `\[(\d+)\]` which is the
vendor-stable shape. Test cases rewritten to lock the actual format.
- docs/v3/contributing/configuration.mdx had a contradictory pair of
bullets: 223 said explicit 1536 makes `auto` forward dimensions=, 224
said `auto` would skip the parameter because 1536 is the default.
Operators reading both would (rightly) conclude they need `always`
even when `auto` would work. Rewrote both bullets so:
- `auto` is provenance-driven (explicit-set, not non-default-value).
- `always` is positioned as defense-in-depth for config layers that
might strip explicit default-valued envs, not the only path for
same-as-default truncation.
* fix(embedding): address PR #678 review comments
CodeRabbit + Rajat review feedback. All actionable items addressed
except two false-positives (responded on PR).
Bug fixes:
- deriver telemetry leak: validator was called outside try/finally so
shutdown_telemetry() did not run on validation failure. Moved inside.
- _emit_report printed "no effect with pgvector" unconditionally,
including from implicit post-apply calls. Added is_report_mode flag;
only print on explicit --report.
- LanceDB and Turbopuffer probes returned None when the namespace
existed but its schema was malformed (no vector field / unparseable
type string), silently bucketing real corruption as "missing"
(lazy-create) and letting it pass the startup validator. Now raise
VectorStoreError with actionable diagnostics; None remains valid only
for "namespace does not exist."
- Startup validator only sampled message namespaces; added a parallel
Collection-row sample so document namespaces are probed too, with the
same dim assertion. Mirrors the --report path.
Hygiene:
- StartupValidationError now subclasses HonchoException so existing
exception handlers recognize it. ValidationException is @final and
has 422 request-validation semantics that would be misleading here.
- scripts/configure_embeddings.py main() no longer spins up two event
loops. engine.dispose() moved into a try/finally inside _async_main
so cleanup runs in the same loop as the pipeline.
- Replaced hand-rolled retry loop with tenacity.AsyncRetrying; same
fail-closed semantics, less code, before_sleep_log for visibility.
- Added _validate_identifier() defense-in-depth: DB.SCHEMA and HNSW
index names are regex-checked against [A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]* before
SQL interpolation. Operator config + DB catalog are not user input
under the current threat model, but the constraint is cheap to gate.
Test + docs:
- test_app_settings_accepts_non_1536_with_any_vector_store_configuration
now actually exercises turbopuffer (was missing); supplies a dummy
TURBOPUFFER_API_KEY to satisfy the model_validator.
- changing-embeddings.mdx: hyphenated "out-of-band" per reviewer style.
