feat(memory): smart multi-strategy retrieval walk - #3077
Conversation
E2GraphRAG-inspired memory retrieval that combines vector search, keyword search, entity lookup, content browsing, and tree navigation. Supports raw/wiki/document/episodic content types with evidence collection and citation tracking. New tools for the walker LLM: keyword_search, vector_search, entity_search, list_sources, read_content, browse_tree, collect_evidence, answer. Wired into MemoryTreeTool as "smart_walk" mode.
- Register SmartMemoryWalkTool in the agent tool list - Add memory_tree.smart_walk_model config field with env override OPENHUMAN_MEMORY_TREE_SMART_WALK_MODEL (supports e.g. "deepseek:deepseek-chat" for fast walking) - Model resolution: smart_walk_model > memory_provider > chat_model_id
Adds #[ignore] tests that verify keyword search, content reading, wiki summary access, episodic memory reading, and the full keyword-search-then-read pipeline against the staging workspace content (raw/wiki/document/episodic). All 6 staging tests pass.
Exposes smart_walk as a JSON-RPC method (memory_tree_smart_walk) so it can be invoked from the frontend, CLI, and external callers — not just through the agent tool interface. Returns answer, evidence, trace, and stop reason.
Use the managed backend summarization tier instead of falling back through memory_provider/chat_model_id. The summarization-v1 model is routed through the OpenHuman backend and works out of the box.

1-1638: 🏗️ Heavy liftSplit this module before it grows further.
This file is already doing public API types, tool execution, prompt building, model resolution, parsing, dispatch, filesystem walkers, and tests in one place. Follow-up fixes here are going to get harder quickly; breaking it into smaller units would make the behavior easier to reason about and test.
As per coding guidelines, "Prefer modules ≤ ~500 lines; split growing modules into separate files".

Inline comments:
In `@src/openhuman/memory/query/smart_walk.rs`:
- Around line 227-230: run_smart_walk currently computes a model via
opts.model.unwrap_or_else(resolve_walk_model) but never passes it into the chat
layer because ChatProviderAdapter ignores the _model and ChatPrompt is
constructed without a model; update run_smart_walk to forward the resolved model
into the chat provider/prompt creation (remove the unused _model variable and
supply the selected model to ChatProviderAdapter or include a model field on
ChatPrompt), ensuring the environment variable
OPENHUMAN_MEMORY_TREE_SMART_WALK_MODEL and tool-level model overrides actually
affect the provider; similarly apply the same change in the other occurrence
(around lines 394-427) so the resolved model is used end-to-end.
- Around line 249-250: build_content_inventory and keyword_search perform
synchronous, recursive std::fs IO and must be moved off the Tokio worker
threads; wrap their calls (and other full-tree scans referenced at ranges
474-588 and 1117-1155) inside a blocking executor (e.g.,
tokio::task::spawn_blocking) so the directory recursion and read_to_string work
runs on a blocking threadpool, await the JoinHandle result in the async flow,
and keep the helper functions unchanged (or provide small sync wrappers) so
callers like the call at build_content_inventory(&content_root) delegate the
heavy work to spawn_blocking.
- Around line 191-198: The current formatting uses byte-based slices like
&ev.snippet[..ev.snippet.len().min(200)] which can panic on UTF-8 multibyte
characters; replace these byte-slices with a char-safe truncation helper (e.g.,
truncate_by_chars(s: &str, max_chars: usize) -> &str or -> String) and use it
wherever snippets or model/query responses are truncated (references: the loop
over outcome.evidence and ev.snippet, and the other truncation sites noted
around lines 369-371, 909-912, 1230-1247); ensure the helper returns a valid
UTF-8 string and use it in the format calls instead of direct byte slicing.
- Around line 760-780: The current read_content check only rejects the literal
".." token and misses absolute paths and symlink escape; update read_content to
(1) reject absolute paths (use Path::is_absolute on the parsed Path) and any
obvious drive-qualified forms, (2) canonicalize both content_root and the
resolved full_path (handle canonicalize errors) and ensure the canonicalized
full_path has the canonicalized content_root as a prefix (starts_with) to
prevent symlink escapes, and (3) keep the existing plain ".." guard as an early
fast-fail and return clear error messages from read_content when any of these
checks fail; reference variables/functions: read_content, path_str,
content_root, full_path, and use canonicalize result comparisons to enforce
containment.
In `@src/openhuman/memory/schema.rs`:
- Around line 1103-1139: The adapter is dropping the per-request model override:
update Adapter::chat_with_system (and transitively chat_with_history) to forward
the model argument into the backend call instead of ignoring it—either by adding
a model field to crate::openhuman::memory::chat::ChatPrompt (and setting it from
the function's model param) or by changing self.inner.chat_for_text to accept an
explicit model parameter and passing the model through; ensure chat_with_history
continues to pass its model arg into chat_with_system so the req.model from
SmartWalkOptions actually reaches the backend.
- Around line 829-854: The schema for the smart_walk controller is missing the
"evidence" and "trace" outputs advertised by the handler; update the outputs
vector in the smart_walk FieldSchema block to add FieldSchema entries for
"evidence" and "trace" (use the exact TypeSchema types that the handler actually
returns — e.g., array/object types or specific item schemas — and mark required
as appropriate), and apply the same additions to the other schema occurrence
referenced in the PR (the second smart_walk schema block). Locate the smart_walk
controller schema entries and add matching FieldSchema definitions so the
registry accurately reflects the handler payload.

…tinyhumansai#3170) The orchestrator turn loop unconditionally injected a "last 7 days" memory-tree digest onto the user message on the first turn and every 30 min thereafter. This is now redundant with the on-demand memory-tree retrieval tools (smart multi-strategy walk, tinyhumansai#3077), and — unlike those tools — it ignored the memory-tree on/off toggle, which only gates the ingestion scheduler (scheduler_gate.mode), not this read path. So even with the tree disabled, every session still force-fed the 7-day digest to the model. Remove the eager prefetch from the turn loop and drop the per-session last_tree_prefetch_at bookkeeping. The tree_loader module is retained (still covered by tests/inference_agent_raw_coverage_e2e.rs) so an opt-in eager digest can be re-wired behind a proper read-side gate later; its docstring now records that it is currently unwired. On-demand memory retrieval is unaffected — only the unconditional auto-injection is removed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
