CODEX
Here’s what I implemented for the three HEXI tickets and how it fits into the
existing Hexi-Memory system.
HEXI-004: Vector Memory Wrapper
- Extended src/memory/vector.ts to keep existing Tri-Memory behavior and add the
wrapper API:
- Existing:
- isReady(), getStats(): VectorStats, rebuildIndex(...), query(question,
topK) (unchanged, still used by TriMemory and the CLI).
- getStats now also populates indexSizeBytes (new optional field on
VectorStats in src/memory/types.ts).
- New wrapper methods (per HEXI-004):
- async init(projectPath: string): Promise<void>
- No-op initializer that ensures the index directory exists;
construction with cwd still remains the primary configuration.
- async search(queryText: string, limit = 5):
Promise<VectorSearchResult[]>
- Wraps the existing RAG search from src/rag/index.ts.
- Returns objects of shape:
- file, chunk, score, lineStart, lineEnd (line numbers currently
0 because the index does not track them).
- async searchByEmbedding(embedding: number[], limit = 5):
Promise<VectorSearchResult[]>
- Reads .arela/.rag-index.json directly and does cosine similarity
over stored embeddings using a local cosineSimilarity helper.
- Does not call Ollama; useful for Meta-RAG workflows that already
have an embedding.
- async getIndexSize(): Promise<number>
- Returns the on-disk size of .arela/.rag-index.json in bytes, or 0
if missing.
- async getChunkCount(): Promise<number>
- Returns embeddings.length from the index JSON (or 0 if missing).
- Added VectorSearchResult interface in src/memory/vector.ts for the wrapper
results.
- Updated src/memory/types.ts:
- VectorStats now has optional indexSizeBytes?: number (no breaking changes;
existing usages still work).
HEXI-005: Graph Memory Wrapper
- Extended src/memory/graph.ts to keep the existing Tri-Memory behavior and add
Graph wrapper APIs:
- Existing (unchanged):
- isReady(), getStats(): GraphStats, impact(filePath),
findSlice(identifier), private helpers using GraphDB from src/ingest/
storage.ts.
- getStats now also sets lastUpdatedAt?: number on GraphStats using fs.stat
of graph.db (new optional field defined in src/memory/types.ts).
- New wrapper-facing types (exported from src/memory/graph.ts):
- GraphFileNode:
- { path, repoPath, language, size }
- language inferred from file extension (ts/tsx/js/jsx/py/go/rs/java/
unknown).
- size is current lines count stored in the files table.
- GraphImport:
- { source, target, type: 'internal' | 'external' }
- type classified by whether target looks like a file-ish path
(isInternalPath helper).
- GraphFunctionNode:
- { name, file, lineStart, lineEnd }.
- New wrapper methods (per HEXI-005):
- async init(projectPath: string): Promise<void>
- Ensures the .arela/memory directory exists; constructor cwd remains
the primary configuration.
- File queries:
- async getFile(path: string): Promise<GraphFileNode | undefined>
- Looks up files table by normalized path.
- async getFiles(repoPaths?: string[]): Promise<GraphFileNode[]>
- Optional filter by repo column; otherwise returns all files.
- async searchFiles(pattern: string): Promise<GraphFileNode[]>
- LIKE search on files.path.
- Dependency queries:
- async getImports(filePath: string): Promise<GraphImport[]>
- Uses imports join to map from_file_id → to_file_id/to_module and
returns source/target edges with type classification.
- async getImportedBy(filePath: string): Promise<string[]>
- All file paths that import the given file.
- async getDependencies(filePath: string, depth = 1): Promise<string[]>
- async getDependents(filePath: string, depth = 1): Promise<string[]>
- Both use a small BFS over the graph via GraphDB, walking
downstream (imports) or upstream (imported-by) up to depth,
returning sorted unique paths.
- Function queries:
- async getFunctions(filePath: string): Promise<GraphFunctionNode[]>
- Uses functions joined to files via file_id.
- async searchFunctions(name: string): Promise<GraphFunctionNode[]>
- LIKE search on functions.name with file path included.
HEXI-006: Governance Memory Wrapper
- Added src/memory/governance.ts implementing GovernanceMemory as a wrapper over
the existing audit_log table in .arela/memory/audit.db:
- Types:
- EventFilters:
- { type?, agent?, startDate?, endDate?, limit? } (timestamps in
epoch ms).
- AuditEvent:
- { id: string, timestamp: number, type: string, agent: string,
data: Record<string, any> }
- type derives from metadata.type if present, otherwise falls back
to action/generic "event".
- data merges metadata with result, commitHash, ticketId,
policyViolations.
- Decision:
- { id, title, description, rationale, timestamp, tags }.
- Derived from AuditEvent with type === 'decision' and fields in
data.
- Change:
- { id, file, author, timestamp, description, linesAdded,
linesRemoved }.
- Derived from AuditEvent with type === 'change' and fields in data.
- GovernanceStats:
- { totalEvents, totalDecisions, totalChanges, eventsByType,
lastUpdated }.
- Class GovernanceMemory:
- Constructor: new GovernanceMemory(cwd?: string) (defaults to
process.cwd()).
- async init(projectPath: string): Promise<void>
- Sets dbPath under <projectPath>/.arela/memory/audit.db.
- Ensures directory exists.
- Calls AuditMemory.init() to create schema, without changing
AuditMemory behavior.
- async getEvents(filters?: EventFilters): Promise<AuditEvent[]>
- Reads from audit_log, maps each row via rowToEvent, then filters
in memory by:
- type, agent, startDate, endDate, limit.
- timestamp is converted to epoch ms (Date.parse on the stored
text).
- async getEventsByType(type: string): Promise<AuditEvent[]>
- async getEventsByAgent(agent: string): Promise<AuditEvent[]>
- async getRecentEvents(limit: number): Promise<AuditEvent[]>
- async getDecisions(): Promise<Decision[]>
- Uses type === 'decision' events; expects decision fields in
event.data (e.g. id, title, description, rationale, tags).
- async getDecisionsByTag(tag: string): Promise<Decision[]>
- Filters decisions where tags contains the tag.
- async getChanges(filePath?: string): Promise<Change[]>
- Uses type === 'change' events; expects file, author, description,
linesAdded, linesRemoved in data.
- Optional filePath is normalized relative to cwd before comparison.
- async getChangesByAuthor(author: string): Promise<Change[]>
- async getStats(): Promise<GovernanceStats>
- Aggregates counts by event.type, tallies decisions/changes, and
computes lastUpdated as max timestamp.
- Internal helpers:
- openDb() – mirrors AuditMemory’s DB setup (WAL, foreign keys).
- rowToEvent, parseTimestamp, safeParseJson, normalizePath.
- Exported GovernanceMemory from src/memory/index.ts:
- Added import { GovernanceMemory } from "./governance.js";.
- Added export { GovernanceMemory } from "./governance.js";.
- Tri-Memory (TriMemory) itself still orchestrates vector, graph, and audit;
governance is now available as a first-class memory class, but not yet
wired into TriMemory’s API (keeping behavior stable).
Tests
- Added test/memory/vector.test.ts:
- Creates a temporary project dir with a minimal .arela/.rag-index.json.
- Verifies:
- isReady() returns true.
- getStats() includes correct counts and indexSizeBytes > 0.
- getIndexSize() and getChunkCount() behave as expected.
- searchByEmbedding() returns the expected best match and a high score,
without invoking Ollama.
- Added test/memory/graph.test.ts:
- Uses GraphDB to create a tiny in-memory graph under a temp .arela/memory/
graph.db:
- Two files (src/a.ts, src/b.ts), one import a -> b, and two functions
(fnA, fnB).
- Verifies:
- isReady() and getStats() work.
- getFile, getFiles, searchFiles return sensible data and infer
language.
- getImports / getImportedBy reflect the a -> b relationship.
- getDependencies / getDependents traverse transitive dependencies up to
a given depth.
- getFunctions and searchFunctions see both fnA and fnB.
- Added test/memory/governance.test.ts:
- Uses AuditMemory to seed decisions and changes into a temp audit.db:
- One decision event with metadata including id, title, rationale, tags.
- One change event with metadata including file, author, linesAdded,
linesRemoved.
- Verifies:
- getEvents, getEventsByType, getEventsByAgent, getRecentEvents.
- getDecisions, getDecisionsByTag.
- getChanges, getChangesByAuthor.
- getStats counts events and types correctly.
Test Run Status / Environment Note
- I ran Vitest in this environment:
- vector.test.ts passed.
- graph.test.ts and governance.test.ts both failed due to a native module
ABI mismatch in better-sqlite3:
- The installed better_sqlite3.node was compiled against a different
Node NODE_MODULE_VERSION than the current Node version.
- This is an environment/build issue, not a logic issue in the new
code. Locally, you can fix it by running npm rebuild better-sqlite3 or
reinstalling dependencies with the Node version you use to run tests, then
rerun npm test.
How to Use the New Wrappers
- Vector (semantic layer):
- const vector = new VectorMemory(projectPath); await
vector.init(projectPath);
- await vector.search("login authentication", 10);
- await vector.searchByEmbedding(myEmbedding, 10);
- await vector.getStats();, await vector.getIndexSize();, await
vector.getChunkCount();
- Graph (structural layer):
- const graph = new GraphMemory(projectPath); await graph.init(projectPath);
- await graph.getFile("src/auth/login.ts");
- await graph.getImports("src/auth/login.ts");
- await graph.getDependents("src/auth/login.ts", 2);
- await graph.getFunctions("src/auth/login.ts");, await
graph.searchFunctions("login");
- Governance (historical layer):
- const gov = new GovernanceMemory(projectPath); await
gov.init(projectPath);
- await gov.getEvents({ type: "decision", agent: "codex" });
- await gov.getDecisionsByTag("database");
- await gov.getChanges("src/index.ts");
- await gov.getStats();
If you’d like, I can next wire GovernanceMemory into TriMemory (and potentially
the CLI) so governance queries sit alongside memory query/impact/audit.
