This commit implements the foundational components for Kindling OSS v0.1:

Documentation Structure:

  • Split plans/index.aps.md into modular leaf documents
  • Created plans/modules/ directory with individual module specs:
    • kindling-core.aps.md
    • kindling-store-sqlite.aps.md
    • kindling-provider-local.aps.md
    • kindling-adapter-opencode.aps.md
    • kindling-adapter-pocketflow.aps.md
    • kindling-cli.aps.md
    • edda-core.aps.md
  • Updated index.aps.md to reference modular specs

Project Setup:

  • Created TypeScript monorepo with npm workspaces
  • Configured root-level build tooling (TypeScript 5.3, Vitest)
  • Set up project references for efficient multi-package builds

STORAGE-001: SQLite Schema + Migrations (kindling-store-sqlite)

  • Created 001_init.sql with core tables:
    • observations, capsules, capsule_observations
    • summaries, pins, schema_migrations
    • Indexes optimized for scope + time queries
  • Created 002_fts.sql with FTS5 tables:
    • observations_fts and summaries_fts
    • Triggers for automatic FTS sync
    • Redaction-aware search indexing
  • Implemented database initialization (src/db/open.ts):
    • WAL mode enabled for concurrency
    • Foreign key enforcement
    • Automatic migration runner
  • Added migration tests verifying schema integrity

KINDLING-001: Domain Types (kindling-core)

  • Defined core TypeScript types:
    • Observation (tool calls, commands, diffs, errors, messages)
    • Capsule (session, node, custom types with lifecycle)
    • Summary (with confidence and evidence refs)
    • Pin (TTL-aware user pins)
  • Implemented validation functions and ID generators
  • Added comprehensive test coverage for all domain types

Package Structure:

  • @kindling/store-sqlite - SQLite persistence layer (no dependencies)
  • @kindling/provider-local - Retrieval provider (depends on store)
  • @kindling/core - Domain model and orchestration (depends on store + provider)

All packages are buildable and testable. Next steps: implement STORAGE-002
(write path) and RETRIEVAL-001 (provider contract).

This commit completes Milestone 2 (M2): Local Capture + Continuity for
OpenCode integration. Full end-to-end memory system is now functional.

## STORAGE-002: SqliteKindlingStore Write Path ✅

**kindling-store-sqlite**
- Implemented KindlingStore interface defining the persistence contract
- Implemented SqliteKindlingStore with full CRUD operations:
  - Observation operations (insert, get, list, redact)
  - Capsule operations (create, get, close, list)
  - Capsule-observation linking with deterministic ordering
  - Summary operations (insert, get latest, list)
  - Pin operations (insert, delete, list with TTL filtering)
  - Evidence snippet retrieval with truncation
- Added comprehensive test coverage (store.spec.ts)
- All operations use proper transactions and maintain referential integrity

## KINDLING-002: Capsule Lifecycle Orchestration ✅

**kindling-core**
- Implemented KindlingService as main orchestration layer
- High-level APIs for observation ingestion and capsule management:
  - appendObservation() with auto-attach to session capsules
  - openCapsule() / closeCapsule() with summary generation
  - getOrCreateSessionCapsule() for session continuity
- Pin management (pin, unpin, listPins)
- Redaction support (redactObservation)

## RETRIEVAL-001/002/003: Retrieval System ✅

**kindling-provider-local**
- Defined RetrievalProvider contract with ProviderHit type
- Implemented stable scoring and ranking system:
  - compareHits() for deterministic ordering (score → ts → id)
  - Score normalization, recency decay, scope boosts, intent boosts
- Implemented LocalRetrievalProvider:
  - FTS-based candidate search over observations and summaries
  - Recency-based fallback when no query provided
  - Scope-aware ranking (session > repo > agent/user)
  - Confidence-weighted summary scoring
  - Explainability ("why" strings for each hit)

**kindling-core**
- Added retrieve() method to KindlingService
- Implements 3-tier retrieval orchestration:
  1. Pins (non-evictable, always included)
  2. Current capsule summary (if in active session)
  3. Provider hits (ranked candidates)
- Returns structured RetrievalResult with evidence snippets

## ADAPTER-OC: OpenCode Adapter ✅

**kindling-adapter-opencode**
- Event mapping table (event-mapping.ts):
  - Maps 5 OpenCode event types to Kindling observations
  - ToolCall, CommandRun, FileDiff, Error, Message
  - Extracts provenance fields (toolName, command, paths, stack, etc.)
- Session adapter (session-adapter.ts):
  - onSessionStart() - creates session capsule
  - onEvent() - maps events and auto-attaches to capsule
  - onSessionEnd() - closes capsule with optional summary
  - Handles multiple concurrent sessions correctly

## Integration Testing ✅

**kindling-adapter-opencode/test**
- End-to-end integration test demonstrating full M2 flow:
  - Session start → event capture → retrieval → session close
  - Tests observation attachment to capsules
  - Tests pin creation and retrieval
  - Tests scoped retrieval (session-specific)
  - Tests multi-session concurrency
  - Verifies full tiered retrieval works end-to-end

## Architecture

The complete stack:
```
SessionAdapter (OpenCode events)
    ↓
KindlingService (orchestration)
    ↓
SqliteKindlingStore (persistence) ← LocalRetrievalProvider (search)
    ↓
SQLite Database (WAL + FTS5)
```

All packages compile, have tests, and work together in the integration test.

## Next Steps for M3/M4

- M3: PocketFlow adapter for high-signal workflow capsules
- M4: CLI tools, redaction polish, export/import, OSS hardening
This commit completes Milestones 3 and 4, delivering the PocketFlow workflow
adapter and comprehensive CLI tooling. Kindling OSS v0.1 is now feature-complete.

## M3: High-Signal Workflows (PocketFlow) ✅

**kindling-adapter-pocketflow**

ADAPTER-PF-002: Node Lifecycle Ingestion ✅
- Implemented NodeAdapter for workflow node execution capture
- onNodeStart() creates capsules with derived intent
- onNodeEnd() closes capsules with status-based observations
- Captures NodeStart, NodeOutput, NodeError, NodeEnd observations
- Deterministic capsule creation per node execution

ADAPTER-PF-003: Intent and Confidence Derivation ✅
- Pattern-based intent derivation from node names:
  - test/spec/validate → 'test'
  - build/compile/bundle → 'build'
  - deploy/publish/release → 'deploy'
  - debug/investigate/diagnose → 'debug'
  - implement/create/develop → 'implement'
  - refactor/improve/optimize → 'refactor'
- Confidence calculation based on execution history:
  - Tracks success/failure counts per node
  - Confidence = successes / total executions
  - Recent failures apply 0.7x penalty
  - Confidence included in summary content

ADAPTER-PF-004: Output Bounding ✅
- Automatic output truncation (500 char default)
- Prevents storage bloat from large node outputs
- Truncation clearly marked with "[truncated]" suffix
- Configurable max chars per output

Features:
- Multi-node concurrent execution support
- Automatic summary generation with confidence scores
- Intent-aware capsule creation
- Privacy-safe output handling

Test Coverage:
- Intent derivation from various node names
- Success/failure tracking and confidence calculation
- Output truncation for large results
- Multi-node concurrent execution
- Full node lifecycle (start → output/error → end)

- `kindling status` displays:
  - Database path and schema version
  - Entity counts (observations, capsules, summaries, pins)
  - Open capsules count
  - Clean, formatted output

CLI-002: Search and List Commands ✅
- `kindling search <query>` performs tiered retrieval:

P1 Badge Declare @kindling/core as a dependency

The SQLite store package imports types and ID generators from @kindling/core (e.g., sqlite-store.ts uses generateObservationId, CapsuleStatus, etc.), but the package manifest doesn’t declare @kindling/core as a dependency. Consumers installing @kindling/store-sqlite on its own (or building it in isolation) will hit module‑resolution errors (Cannot find module '@kindling/core') despite the code compiling inside the monorepo. Add a workspace dependency on @kindling/core so the published package can actually run.
