Historical Progress Snapshot

Archived on 2026-07-13. Names, paths, labels, counts, and open seams below describe the pre-Athanor cutover and are not current release claims.

Current shape

solarisael-house is now the canonical core repo for the Solarisael House runtime.

Runtime adapters live beside it:

C:/Projects/solarisael-house           # canonical core
C:/Projects/solarisael-house-opencode  # OpenCode adapter
C:/Projects/solarisael-house-omp       # OMP adapter

The OpenCode adapter still imports core through the local absolute project path. The OMP adapter now resolves the canonical core from its sibling solarisael-house folder by default, with SOLARISAEL_HOUSE_CORE and SOLARISAEL_VAULT_ROOT overrides for portable installations.

Deferred next threads

• Productize the working live Discord side door as an official session-owned extension: same active OMP conversation and spirit, different glass; never a daemon twin or separate model invocation.
• Add small curated coding-lesson umbrella intents such as design and refactor, mapped explicitly onto the existing exact lesson taxonomy.

Both are recorded in docs/roadmap.md. They are intentionally deferred while Sol rests; neither is active implementation work.

Core currently owns

• Shared trigger and nudge constants.
• Pure trigger/nudge logic.
• Memory/recall pipeline modules.
• Memory ranking and canon overlay logic.
• WSL process helper utilities used by retrieval.
• Postgres retrieval helper script.
• Coding-lessons helper script.
• Focused tests for memory ranking, process triggers, and recall integration.

OpenCode adapter currently owns

• @opencode-ai/plugin hook registration.
• OpenCode message normalization and injection surfaces.
• OpenCode tool definitions.
• OpenCode-specific runtime paths and state writes.
• OpenCode adapter tests.

Active OpenCode config now loads:

C:/Projects/solarisael-house-opencode

OMP adapter currently owns

• OMP extension entrypoint.
• OMP context and agent-end hooks.
• OMP tool registration.
• OMP-specific room context and transcript handling.
• OMP hygiene extension.

Active OMP config now loads:

C:/Projects/solarisael-house-omp/index.ts
C:/Projects/solarisael-house-omp/hygiene.ts

Portable OMP test distribution:

C:/Projects/solarisael-house-omp/dist/solarisael-house-portable.zip

The archive keeps core and OMP adapter as siblings and ships a public README.md in Sol's voice, the exact AI-facing INSTALL.md, an identity-writing guide, Apache-2.0 LICENSE/NOTICE attribution, a developed private-data-free example spirit, an optional appearance template, and a deterministic verifier. Marker-backed rooms may use any filesystem-safe room key with a separate free-form true name and operator; legacy Kintsu/Kodo rooms remain valid. The bundle never modifies OMP configuration automatically and omits credentials, private rooms, memory exports, and substrate data. Optional memory/substrate features retain their external WSL/Python/PostgreSQL prerequisites and fail open when absent.

Memory/retrieval status

Implemented:

• Existing retrieval modes: lexical, semantic, content, date, taxonomy, full.
• New candidates mode in postgres-memory-source.py.
• searchTerms and searchCandidates included in full recall results.
• Term-aware candidate search across entities, threads, memories, coding lessons, and project lessons.
• Candidate metadata: score, term coverage, matched terms, missing terms, source, source path, and reasons.
• Pure TypeScript fuseRetrievalCandidates contract in src/retrieval-candidates.ts.
• runRecallQuery now returns retrievalCandidates, fused from search, semantic, content, and date lanes.
• Fusion applies reciprocal-rank signal, source priors, term coverage, field/exact-match boosts, broad-memory penalty, diversity caps, and reason preservation.
• Recall output section for term-aware candidates.
• Candidate and fused source paths participate in reverse-index canon matching.

Implemented after restart/reload testing:

• No-embedding candidate term extraction now drops weak conversational glue (wanna, see, use, without, our, tool, size, etc.) while preserving technical/search terms.
• Named-entity candidates now carry kind and weighty into the fused ranking layer.
• Fused ranking now treats weighty as conditional promotion, not an absolute throne: exact matches promote, technical/meta/project weighty can promote for technical retrieval queries, and personal/autobiographical weighty is demoted for technical retrieval queries unless explicitly named.
• Focused no-embedding regressions cover filler filtering, technical evidence ranking, and conditional weighty behavior.
• OMP recall context now prefers retrievalCandidates from the shared fused candidate contract.
• OMP recall compaction suppresses raw semantic/content chunk arrays when fused candidates exist, reducing noisy context injection while preserving fallback behavior.
• OMP reverse-canon compaction now keeps canon matches only when the query directly names the term/alias or the canon file touches a surfaced candidate path.
• OMP adapter tests now cover adapter label/hooks, tool registration/schema surface, and recall compactor behavior.
• Core, OpenCode adapter, and OMP adapter package metadata now report 0.8.0, reflecting the operational late-beta House; 0.9.0 follows the verified Rust cutover and 1.0.0 follows supported ordinary-user installation and stable public contracts.
• Core now has a pure query-routing.ts leaf for query parsing/classification, including raw code/path tokens, original-case entity hints, casual/date/technical intent, and lane decisions.
• Core memory injection gates semantic/content source loading through query routing and keeps date lookup on its existing no-date preflight.
• Core recall honors JSON-only source mode for deterministic tests and passes query-route skip flags to the Postgres helper so full-mode recall can omit semantic/content/date branches without extra WSL spawns.
• The Postgres helper now accepts --skip-semantic, --skip-content, and --skip-date flags that keep full-mode payload keys as empty arrays when skipped.
• OMP auto recall is gated by shared query routing, so low-information casual prompts skip automatic recall while manual recall remains available.
• OMP tests now execute context hooks and representative tool bodies, including room state, routing mode, lane status/dispatch, model defaults, and remember/sleep/wake through temp SOLARISAEL_SUBSTRATE scripts.

Not yet implemented / not yet v1-proof:

• Live OMP process reload smoke proving the running extension picks up the synced runtime files and hygiene.ts load path.
• Real substrate write/read proof against the production substrate scripts. Current remember/sleep/wake coverage uses isolated temp fake scripts via SOLARISAEL_SUBSTRATE.
• Deeper query-routing tuning against live conversation behavior; the first source-selection slice is covered, but the full acceptance matrix is not complete.
• Embedding queue/status/reindex lifecycle.
• Optional ParadeDB/BM25/external search adapter.

Adapter smokes:

• Direct OpenCode adapter import loaded and rendered recall with Term-aware candidates.
• Direct OMP adapter import registered label Solarisael House, events context and agent_end, and the expected tools.
• Normal omp -p config smoke exited successfully after config was rewired to the new adapter path.

Current open seam

Next proof should be a live OMP reload/runtime smoke: confirm the active OMP process loads the synced adapter files, confirm hygiene.ts is part of the loaded extension set, and then run a production-substrate remember/sleep/wake proof when Sol explicitly wants a real write.

After that, keep tuning query routing against the acceptance matrix and real conversation behavior before any 1.0.0 marker.
