fix(worker): wire HINDSIGHT_API_WORKER_MAX_RETRIES into task retry decision

The HINDSIGHT_API_WORKER_MAX_RETRIES env var has been declared at
config.py:433 since the worker was introduced, but the actual retry
decision in MemoryEngine.execute_task hardcoded `if retry_count < 3`
and ignored the knob. Operators setting the env var saw no effect.

Wire the existing knob into the retry check and add a sibling
HINDSIGHT_API_WORKER_TASK_RETRY_BACKOFF_SECONDS (default 60) for the
hardcoded 60-second backoff interval at the same site.

Both env vars are read on each retry decision (not cached at process
start) so operators can tune the policy during an active provider
outage without restarting workers. Defaults preserve existing
behavior (3 retries x 60s).

Tests: 4 new regression tests covering each knob and the unchanged
default path.

-### API Layer & Data Access
-- **No direct database access in `api/http.py`** (or any API router). HTTP handlers must not build SQL, call `acquire_with_retry` / `conn.fetch` / `conn.fetchrow` / `conn.execute`, or reference `fq_table(...)`. All persistence and queries live in `MemoryEngine` (the engine layer). A handler parses/validates the request, calls an engine method, shapes the HTTP response, and maps domain results to status codes (e.g. a `None` return → 404).
-- **Authentication/tenancy is enforced inside each engine method, not assumed by the handler.** Every engine method that touches bank-scoped data must authenticate via `request_context` — typically `await self._authenticate_tenant(request_context)` (often indirectly through `get_bank_profile(...)`) — so the correct tenant schema is resolved before any query runs. Handlers must thread `request_context` through to the engine method; never query a tenant-scoped table assuming the schema is already set.
-- Engine methods return typed models (Pydantic/dataclass), not raw dicts (see Type Safety).

 - **Always start new feature branches from `origin/main`** — rebase to ensure a clean base.

-- Deterministic mechanics (prompt assembly, suppression/branching logic) that are covered *only* by a slow LLM test — these should also have fast non-LLM unit tests. **Note.**

----
-
-# Hindsight Release
-
-Cut a **core** Hindsight release and open the accompanying changelog/blog PR. This is for the core
-product version (API, clients, CLI, control plane, Helm). **Integrations are versioned
-independently** — use `scripts/release-integration.sh` for those, not this skill.
-
-The release is **irreversible and outward-facing**: it tags a version and pushes it straight to
-`main`, which triggers CI that publishes packages to PyPI / npm / Helm. Confirm the version number
-and that the intended fixes are already merged to `main` before you start.
-
-## Step 0 — Pre-flight
-
-1. **Decide the base.** A release is cut from the latest `origin/main`, never from a feature
-   branch. `git fetch origin --tags` first. Confirm the "couple of fixes" the user means are
-   actually merged to `main` (`git log v<prev>..origin/main --oneline`).
-2. **Find where `main` is checked out.** `main` is often already checked out in a sibling worktree
-   (`git worktree list`). You **cannot** check out `main` in a second worktree — run the release in
-   the worktree that already holds it. If that worktree is dirty with throwaway cruft
-   (`.next-*` tsconfig paths, screenshots), `git stash push -u`, fast-forward to `origin/main`,
-   run the release, then `git stash pop`.
-3. **Pitfall:** never pipe the checkout in an `&&` chain like
-   `git checkout main 2>&1 | tail && git reset --hard ...` — the pipe's exit status is `tail`'s
-   (always 0), so a failed checkout won't stop the chain and the `reset` fires on the **wrong
-   branch**. Check out as its own command and verify `git branch --show-current` before resetting.
-
-## Step 1 — Cut the release
-
-Run from the worktree on a clean `main`:
-
-```bash
-./scripts/release.sh <version>     # e.g. 0.8.1  (no leading v)
-```
-
-`release.sh` bumps the version in every component, regenerates the OpenAPI spec + all client SDKs,
-updates docs versioning, commits `Release v<version>`, tags `v<version>`, and **pushes the commit
-and tag directly to `main`**. The push triggers the `Release` GitHub Actions workflow that builds
-and publishes the packages. It is **not** a PR.
-
-Verify after: `gh run list --limit 5` should show the `Release v<version>` workflow running, and
-`git ls-remote --tags origin v<version>` should return the tag.
-
-## Step 2 — Changelog + blog PR (separate)
-
-Done **after** the tag exists, as its own PR (precedent: v0.8.0 = #2053, v0.8.1 = #2080). Work on a
-branch off the new `main`:
-
-```bash
-git checkout -b docs-changelog-<version> origin/main
-```
-
-Only spin up a separate worktree (`git worktree add ../hindsight-changelog-<version> -b
-docs-changelog-<version> origin/main`) if you can't get a clean checkout otherwise — e.g. `main` is
-held in another worktree and the current one has work you don't want to disturb.
-
-**Branch naming:** use the `docs-` (hyphen) convention, e.g. `docs-changelog-0.8.1`. A remote
-branch literally named `docs` exists, so any `docs/...` branch is rejected on push with
-`directory file conflict`.
-
-### Changelog
-
-```bash
-uv run --directory hindsight-dev generate-changelog <version>
-```
-
-LLM-summarizes the commits between the previous tag and `v<version>` and prepends an entry to
-`hindsight-docs/src/pages/changelog/index.md`. Requires `OPENAI_API_KEY` (already in the repo
-`.env`). It excludes `hindsight-integrations/` source, but new integrations whose commits also
-touched docs will still appear — that matches precedent, leave them in the **changelog**.
-
-### Blog post
-
-Hand-write `hindsight-docs/blog/YYYY-MM-DD-version-X-Y-Z.md` (mirror an existing one; patch
-releases are short — see `2026-06-02-version-0-7-2.md`). Guidance:
-
-- **Explain user impact, not internals/mechanism.** Lead with what the user can now do and what to
-  set. Config/env-var names are fine (developer-facing), code symbols and internals are not.
-- **Do not list integrations in the release blog.** The core blog covers core engine / API /
-  ops changes; each integration ships its own changelog. (Integrations may still appear in the
-  generated `changelog/index.md` — that's fine; just keep them out of the blog.)
-- Call out an upgrade recommendation when there are operational/data-integrity fixes.
-- Validate formatting: `npx prettier --check <blog file>`.
-
-### Sync the docs skill
-
-```bash
-./scripts/generate-docs-skill.sh
-```
-
-Refreshes `skills/hindsight-docs/references/changelog/index.md`. It will also bump
-`skills/hindsight-docs/references/openapi.json` by one version — `release.sh` regenerates the skill
-*before* bumping OpenAPI, so the skill copy lags a version in the release commit; this step syncs
-it. Expect a one-line `version` diff there; keep it.
-
-### Commit, push, PR
-
-```bash
-git add -A
-git commit --no-verify -m "docs: changelog and blog post for v<version>"
-git push -u origin docs-changelog-<version>
-gh pr create --base main --title "docs: changelog and blog post for v<version>" --body "..."
-```
-
-Expected files in the PR: the changelog entry, the new blog post, the regenerated skill changelog
-mirror, and the skill `openapi.json` version sync.
-
-## Cleanup
-
-If you created a temporary worktree, remove it once the PR is up
-(`git worktree remove ../hindsight-changelog-<version>`; the branch stays on origin). Restore any
-stash you popped in Step 0.

-  control-plane files / unused (or unlisted) `package.json` dependencies.

 **After completing any implementation work, run `/code-review`** to verify your changes against project standards (missing tests, dead code, type safety, etc.). Fix any "must fix" issues before considering the task done.
 
 **MANDATORY: Run `/code-review` before pushing code or creating a pull request.** Do not push or create a PR until all "must fix" issues are resolved.
 
-### Testing
-
-Most tests are deterministic (MockLLM, pure functions) — assert directly.
-
-**Tests that verify LLM behaviour use a real LLM + an LLM-as-judge.** When the thing under test is *how the model interprets a prompt* (classification, attribution, dimension preservation, instruction-following), MockLLM can't simulate it and exact string/enum asserts flake across providers and runs. Use this pattern instead:
-
-1. Mark the test module `pytestmark = pytest.mark.hs_llm_core` (single-provider; CI runs it in the core-LLM job). Use `hs_llm_mat` only for provider-matrix acceptance tests.
-2. Call the real pipeline (`LLMConfig.from_env()`, `_get_raw_config()`), e.g. `extract_facts_from_text(...)`.
-3. Assert with the judge, not string matching:
-   ```python
-   from tests.llm_judge import assert_meets_criteria
-   facts_summary = "\n".join(f"- [{f.fact_type}] {f.fact}" for f in facts)
-   await assert_meets_criteria(
-       response=facts_summary,
-       criteria="The first-person user statements are classified 'world' and attributed to the user, not the agent.",
-       context="What the input said and who was speaking.",
-   )
-   ```
-
-Rules of thumb:
-- **Judge anything non-deterministic** — including `fact_type` classification and speaker attribution. Do NOT hard-assert `fact_type == "..."`; pass a `[fact_type] fact` summary to the judge instead. Structural facts that ARE deterministic (counts, presence of a field, that a substring was injected into a prompt) stay as direct asserts in fast unit tests.
-- **Split the test surface**: cover the deterministic mechanics (prompt assembly, suppression logic) with fast non-LLM unit tests, and the model-following behaviour with one `hs_llm_core` judge test. (Example pair: `test_narrator_resolution.py` + `test_narrator_context_override.py`.)
-- The judge model is independent of the test provider (defaults to Gemini); never judge with the same call you're testing.

-
-OpenBLAS, OpenMP, and MKL each spawn a worker pool sized to the host CPU count
-the first time they are loaded (numpy pulls in OpenBLAS eagerly; torch and
-onnxruntime load their pools lazily on first inference). Hindsight already
-parallelizes at the request level via thread-pool executors (embeddings on the
-default executor, the reranker on its own pool), so these native intra-op pools
-oversubscribe the CPU: on a many-core host the process accumulates 100+ native
-threads, which inflates memory and, under contention, can degrade throughput.
-
-We bound each pool to ``_MAX_NATIVE_THREADS`` (or the available CPU count, if
-smaller). "Available" is the CPU budget actually granted to the process, not
-``os.cpu_count()``: in a CPU-limited container ``os.cpu_count()`` still reports
-the host's cores, so sizing pools by it oversubscribes the container's real
-quota — the exact failure mode this guards against. We therefore take the
-smallest of the CPU-affinity set, the cgroup CPU quota, and ``os.cpu_count()``.
-
-Every cap is applied with ``setdefault`` so an operator who has deliberately
-tuned one of these variables keeps their value. This must run *before* numpy,
-torch, or onnxruntime are imported — those libraries read the variables only at
-load time — which is why it is invoked at the very top of

-"""Add a composite index on memory_links(bank_id, link_type) (PostgreSQL).
-
-``bank_id`` was added to ``memory_links`` in ``c5d6e7f8a9b0`` precisely so that
-bank-scoped reads (e.g. the stats endpoint) could filter on the link table
-directly instead of joining ``memory_units`` — that JOIN took 18+ seconds on
-banks with millions of links. The column landed without an index, so every
-``bank_id = $1`` predicate still falls back to a sequential scan over the whole
-table.
-
-This adds the missing btree. It is composite on ``(bank_id, link_type)`` rather
-than ``bank_id`` alone because the hot query is the stats endpoint's
-``SELECT link_type, COUNT(*) ... WHERE bank_id = $1 GROUP BY link_type``: a
-``(bank_id, link_type)`` index serves that filter, grouping and count as an
-index-only scan, never touching the heap, whereas a ``bank_id``-only index would
-still have to read every matching row to recover ``link_type``. ``link_type`` is
-low-cardinality (only ``temporal``/``semantic``/``caused_by`` are written —
-entity edges were dropped in ``e9b2c7d1f3a4``), so the trailing column adds
-little to the index size while removing the heap fetch.
-
-The Oracle baseline (``o1a2b3c4d5e6``) already creates ``idx_ml_bank_id`` on
-``memory_links(bank_id)``; that single-column index already covers Oracle's
-bank-scoped filter, so the Oracle slot here is intentionally absent and only the
-PostgreSQL dialect gets the composite index.
-
-``memory_links`` can hold tens of millions of rows, so the index is built
-CONCURRENTLY to avoid taking a write lock on the table. CONCURRENTLY cannot run
-inside a transaction block, so the statement runs in an ``autocommit_block()``;
-``IF NOT EXISTS`` keeps it idempotent across retries and re-migrated tenant
-schemas. A CONCURRENTLY build interrupted partway (lock conflict, disk
-pressure, signal) leaves the index behind as *invalid*; ``IF NOT EXISTS`` would
-then skip over it forever, so the upgrade first drops any invalid leftover of
-this name before (re)creating it.

-tables (``observation_history``, ``mental_model_history``) to ``TEXT`` after the
-narrow ``VARCHAR(64)`` declaration bricked startup. The same VARCHAR(64) / TEXT
-inconsistency still affects the live tables that store a user-supplied

-                       ``n9i0j1k2l3m4``; recreated in ``h3c4d5e6f7g8``)
-
-``mental_model_versions`` is intentionally *not* widened here: it is created in
-``j5e6f7g8h9i0`` but dropped (``DROP TABLE ... CASCADE``) in ``o0j1k2l3m4n5`` and
-never recreated on the upgrade path, so it does not exist at head. Issuing
-``ALTER TABLE mental_model_versions ...`` would raise ``UndefinedTable`` and --
-because migrations run inside the lifespan-startup transaction -- roll the whole
-migration back, bricking the API. (It is unrelated to the live
-``mental_model_history`` table widened by ``c3e5a7b9d1f4``.)
-
-``banks.bank_id`` is ``TEXT`` (unbounded), so a deployment can create a bank
-whose id exceeds 64 chars -- the 78-char hierarchical org-unit shape reported in
-issue #2106 -- and the bank insert succeeds. The next write that propagates that
-id (``create_directive``, ``create_mental_model`` / consolidation, or
-mental-model versioning) then aborts with::
-
-    psycopg2.errors.StringDataRightTruncation: value too long for type
-    character varying(64)
-
-i.e. a 500 on core write endpoints, instead of the startup brick that
-``c3e5a7b9d1f4`` already repaired.
-
-``ALTER COLUMN ... TYPE TEXT`` is a no-op on a column that is already ``TEXT``,
-so every upgrade path converges on ``TEXT``. These tables are per-tenant (they
-live in each tenant schema, not ``public``), so this runs for every migrated
-schema via the search-path-aware prefix -- the same mechanism as
-``c3e5a7b9d1f4``.
-
-PostgreSQL only: these tables are created by PostgreSQL-only migrations
-(``run_for_dialect(pg=...)``); on Oracle they are absent or already
-``VARCHAR2(256)`` (consistent, never truncates), so the Oracle slot is
-intentionally absent -- mirroring ``c3e5a7b9d1f4``.

-"""Move mental-model and observation history into dedicated tables.
-
-Both histories were accumulated in a single JSONB/CLOB ``history`` column
-(``mental_models.history`` and ``memory_units.history``), appended to on every
-update. That design has two problems:
-
-1. **Unbounded growth on observations.** The observation write path appended a
-   snapshot on every update with no cap at all, so a frequently-reinforced
-   observation grew its ``history`` array until it crossed Postgres's hard 256MB
-   jsonb limit (SQLSTATE 54000), after which every further UPDATE failed and the
-   row was stuck.
-2. **Wrong-axis cap on mental models.** The mental-model cap bounded the *number*
-   of entries (50), not their *size* — a single large reflect snapshot could
-   still blow the budget — and rewrote the whole array (plus TOAST) on every
-   refresh, defeating HOT updates.
-
-This migration creates one row per history entry in two dedicated tables, with
-an index that makes "most recent N for this item" cheap, then drops the old
-columns. The cap is now enforced at write time as a bounded DELETE of the
-oldest over-cap rows (see config ``*_HISTORY_MAX_ENTRIES``).

-"""Repair: install maintenance routines on the ``public`` / base-schema run.
-
-The original maintenance-routines migration (``e5f6a7b8c9d0``) only created the
-shared ``public.banks_needing_consolidation()`` and
-``public.schemas_with_expired_rows(...)`` routines when the run had *no*
-``target_schema`` at all. But the single-tenant runtime always migrates an
-explicit schema — which defaults to ``public`` — so on every default
-PostgreSQL deployment the migration was stamped as applied while the functions
-were never created. Background maintenance then logs::
-
-    Retention sweep failed for llm_requests: function public.schemas_with_expired_rows(...) does not exist
-    Consolidation reconcile discovery failed: function public.banks_needing_consolidation() does not exist
-
-See https://github.com/vectorize-io/hindsight/issues/2056.
-
-Because ``e5f6a7b8c9d0`` is already stamped on affected ``0.8.0`` databases,
-editing it would not re-run it there. This forward migration re-installs the
-functions idempotently (``CREATE OR REPLACE``) on the run that targets the
-shared ``public`` schema (base run with no ``target_schema``, or an explicit
-``target_schema=public``), self-healing already-upgraded deployments and
-covering fresh upgrades from earlier versions.
-
-Per-tenant runs against a non-``public`` schema still skip it: re-issuing
-``CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public....`` from each concurrent tenant migration
-aborts with ``tuple concurrently updated`` on the ``pg_proc`` catalog row, and
-the base/public run has already created the functions for every tenant to use.
-Runs that target ``public`` are serialized by the per-schema migration advisory
-lock, so only one wins the create.
-
-PostgreSQL only — the worker poller and these tables are not wired for Oracle,
-so the Oracle slot is intentionally absent (mirrors ``e5f6a7b8c9d0``).

-"""Repair: widen ``*_history.bank_id`` from VARCHAR(64) to TEXT on PostgreSQL.
-
-The original split-history migration (``a7b8c9d0e1f2``) declared
-``observation_history.bank_id`` and ``mental_model_history.bank_id`` as
-``VARCHAR(64)`` on PostgreSQL. But ``memory_units.bank_id`` — the backfill
-source for observations — is ``TEXT`` (unbounded), as are ``banks``,
-``documents`` and ``entities``. Any deployment whose ``bank_id`` exceeds 64
-characters aborts the backfill ``INSERT`` with::
-
-    psycopg2.errors.StringDataRightTruncation: value too long for type
-    character varying(64)
-
-Because the migration runs in ``lifespan`` startup inside a transaction, the
-whole migration rolls back and the API never comes up — unrecoverable from the
-running container. See https://github.com/vectorize-io/hindsight/issues/2106.
-
-``a7b8c9d0e1f2`` itself has been corrected to create the column as ``TEXT``,
-which unblocks deployments that *failed* (the migration rolled back, so it
-re-runs the fixed DDL). This forward migration covers deployments that already
-*succeeded* with the narrow ``VARCHAR(64)`` column — where editing
-``a7b8c9d0e1f2`` has no effect because it will not re-run — by widening the
-column in place. ``ALTER COLUMN ... TYPE TEXT`` is a no-op on a column that is
-already ``TEXT`` (fresh installs and re-run failures), so every upgrade path
-converges on ``TEXT``.

-The history tables are per-tenant (they live in each tenant schema, not
-``public``), so this runs for every migrated schema via the search-path-aware
-prefix — unlike the shared-``public`` routines repaired in ``b2d4f6a8c1e3``.
-
-PostgreSQL only. On Oracle both ``memory_units.bank_id`` and the history
-``bank_id`` columns are already ``VARCHAR2(256)`` (consistent, never
-truncates), so the Oracle slot is intentionally absent.

-"""Add invalidated_memory_units table for curation (edit/invalidate).
-
-Curation keeps the recall hot-path (``memory_units``) clean by *moving*
-invalidated facts into a sibling archive table rather than flagging them in
-place. If a row is in ``memory_units`` it is live; if it is in
-``invalidated_memory_units`` it has been retired. Recall/consolidation/graph
-queries never need a state predicate — the rows simply aren't there.
-
-The archive mirrors ``memory_units`` column-for-column — except ``embedding``,
-which it never keeps: the archive is cold storage, never a recall surface, and
-revert recomputes the embedding from the unit's text/dates/entities. Keeping no
-archive vector also means a later embedding-model switch (which re-dimensions
-``memory_units``) can't trip a dimension mismatch on the move (#2209). Plus:
-- ``invalidation_reason``  optional free text recorded on invalidate
-- ``invalidated_at``       when it was retired
-- ``entity_ids``           snapshot of the unit's entity associations, so revert
-                           can restore them (``unit_entities`` is cascade-deleted
-                           when the live row is removed)
-
-This migration also adds ``edited_at`` to ``memory_units``: set whenever a user
-edits a memory's fields (text, context, dates, fact_type, entities) via curation.
-NULL means never manually modified; a non-NULL value answers "has the user ever
-changed this?" with the time of the last edit (distinct from ``updated_at``,
-which background operations also bump). It is added to ``memory_units`` *before*
-the archive is cloned below, so the archive inherits the column and the marker
-travels with a fact when it is invalidated.

-invalidate and recomputes it on revert, so the column is dead weight.

-round-trip. With no column at all, there is nothing to mismatch.
-
-The creation sites no longer add the column (the PG ``LIKE`` clone in

-this migration is a no-op (DROP ... IF EXISTS / Oracle ORA-00904 swallow). It
-does the real work on databases created before the column was removed there.

-DROP COLUMN is a metadata-only operation on both PostgreSQL and Oracle 23ai (no

-"""Add server-side routines for background maintenance sweeps.
-
-Installs two PL/pgSQL discovery routines in the ``public`` schema. Both loop
-over every schema that actually holds the relevant table (via ``pg_class``), so
-a single function call covers all tenants in one round-trip instead of the
-per-tenant query storm that a client-side loop would create at thousands of
-tenants.
-
-- ``public.banks_needing_consolidation()`` -> (schema_name, bank_id) for banks
-  that have eligible-but-unscheduled facts (``consolidated_at IS NULL AND
-  consolidation_failed_at IS NULL`` for consolidatable fact types), have
-  auto-consolidation not explicitly disabled at the bank level, and have no
-  consolidation operation already pending/processing. Drives the periodic
-  reconcile that re-schedules consolidation after a terminal failure left facts
-  stranded (see HINDSIGHT_API_CONSOLIDATION_RECONCILE_INTERVAL_SECONDS).
-
-- ``public.schemas_with_expired_rows(p_table, p_ts_col, p_days)`` -> schema
-  names that hold at least one ``p_table`` row older than ``p_days``. Drives the
-  cross-tenant retention sweeps for ``audit_log`` and ``llm_requests``; the loop
-  then issues a DELETE only against the returned schemas.
-
-These are read-only (STABLE) discovery routines — the caller performs the
-enqueue/DELETE — so installing them never mutates data.
-
-PostgreSQL only — the worker poller and these tables are not wired for Oracle,
-so the Oracle slot is intentionally absent (mirrors the audit_log / llm_requests
-table migrations). The routines live in ``public`` and are CREATE OR REPLACE, so
-running this migration once per tenant schema is idempotent.

-"""Cooperative cancellation for long-running engine operations.

-Recall runs as a staged pipeline whose heavy stages — graph expansion and
-cross-encoder reranking — execute in worker threads (``run_in_executor``) that
-asyncio task cancellation cannot interrupt once they have started. Cancelling
-the awaiting task only unblocks the ``await``; the thread keeps burning CPU to
-completion. So rather than rely on task cancellation, callers thread a
-``CancellationToken`` through ``RequestContext`` and the engine checks it at
-stage boundaries (``raise_if_cancelled``), bailing out *before* dispatching the
-next expensive stage.
-
-This is cooperative by design: it cannot stop a computation already inside a
-worker thread, but it does stop an abandoned recall from progressing into — or
-past — that work, which is what starves the instance in issue #2122. The token
-lives on ``RequestContext``, so any operation that receives one (recall today;
-reflect/consolidation/MCP later) can adopt the same checkpoints, and any driver
-(client disconnect today; a deadline tomorrow) can fire it.

-"""Background maintenance loop.
-
-A single periodic loop that drives all of Hindsight's recurring housekeeping
-from one place, so we don't spawn a separate ``asyncio`` task per concern:
-
-- **Retention sweeps** (hourly): delete ``audit_log`` and ``llm_requests`` rows
-  older than their configured retention, across *all* tenant schemas.
-- **Consolidation reconcile** (configurable, default 5 min): re-schedule
-  consolidation for banks that have eligible-but-unscheduled facts and no
-  in-flight consolidation. This recovers facts that were stranded when a
-  consolidation operation failed terminally and left them with
-  ``consolidated_at IS NULL AND consolidation_failed_at IS NULL`` and nothing to
-  re-trigger them.
-
-The loop wakes on a short fixed tick and runs each job when its own
-``last_run + interval`` is due (run-at-start, then on interval), so adding jobs
-with different cadences doesn't burst CPU. Cross-tenant discovery goes through
-server-side PL/pgSQL routines (``public.schemas_with_expired_rows`` and
-``public.banks_needing_consolidation``) — one round-trip each — instead of a
-per-schema query storm, which matters at thousands of tenants.

-"""Fireworks AI provider with batch-inference support.
-
-Fireworks' *online* inference endpoint (``/inference/v1``) is OpenAI-compatible,
-so ``FireworksLLM`` subclasses :class:`OpenAICompatibleLLM` and reuses its entire
-chat path. Only the *batch* mechanism differs: Fireworks does NOT implement the
-OpenAI ``/v1/batches`` API. Instead it exposes a proprietary, account-scoped
-dataset -> job -> download REST workflow on a separate control-plane host. This
-class overrides only the four batch members of the interface, translating that
-workflow to/from the OpenAI-batch shapes the retain orchestrator and
-``fact_extraction`` consumer expect — so nothing downstream changes.
-
-Interface contract preserved (see ``fact_extraction.py`` result handling)::
-
-    result["response"]["body"]["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
-
-Workflow (control-plane host, e.g. ``https://api.fireworks.ai``)::
-
-    POST /v1/accounts/{acct}/datasets                      create input dataset
-    POST /v1/accounts/{acct}/datasets/{id}:upload          upload input JSONL
-    POST /v1/accounts/{acct}/batchInferenceJobs            create job
-    GET  /v1/accounts/{acct}/batchInferenceJobs/{jobId}    poll status
-    GET  /v1/accounts/{acct}/datasets/{out}:getDownloadEndpoint   signed URLs
-    GET  <signed-url>                                      download output JSONL
-
-NOTE: the exact *output JSONL line* nesting is not verbatim-documented by
-Fireworks. ``_normalize_output_line`` handles both the observed shape
-(``{custom_id, response: {...completion...}, error}``) and a ``response.body``
-nesting defensively. Confirm against a live key via the integration path.

-"""Gemini context-cache manager.
-
-Wraps the ``google-genai`` SDK's CachedContent API to let callers reuse a
-stable system_instruction + response_schema prefix across many requests.
-
-Cached input tokens are billed at ~10× lower than fresh input tokens
-(check the current Gemini pricing for the exact ratio per model), so for
-workloads that repeatedly send a large fixed prefix with a small variable
-user message — fact extraction, structured tagging, classification — the
-input-cost savings are substantial.
-
-This module owns only the create/refresh/lookup lifecycle. It is up to
-the caller to (a) decide that the prefix is stable enough to cache, and
-(b) pass the returned cache name to ``GeminiLLM.call()``. When the
-returned name is ``None`` (because Gemini rejected the create — most
-commonly because the prefix is smaller than the model's minimum), the
-caller MUST fall back to a non-cached call.
-
-Cardinality
------------
-The intended cache count per process is small (≲100 entries). Each
-entry corresponds to one combination of (model, system_instruction,
-response_schema). If a caller sees the cache grow unboundedly it
-indicates the system_instruction contains per-request data that should
-move into the user message instead.
-
-TTL
----
-Gemini's CachedContent has a TTL bounded by the model (currently 1h
-for most generally-available models). This manager refreshes proactively
-at ``ttl_safety_margin`` before expiry. If a cached entry has expired
-between refreshes the next call will recreate it transparently.

-Native Nous Portal OAuth authentication manager.
-
-The Nous Portal inference endpoint (https://inference-api.nousresearch.com/v1)
-speaks the OpenAI-compatible wire format but authenticates with a short-lived,
-inference-scoped JWT rather than a static API key. Hermes obtains that JWT once
-via an interactive browser login (``hermes portal``) and persists the resulting
-OAuth state — ``access_token`` + ``refresh_token`` — under ``providers.nous`` in
-``~/.hermes/auth.json``.
-
-This manager reads that file *directly* and refreshes the access token itself,
-exactly mirroring ``codex_auth.py`` (read ``~/.codex/auth.json`` + native
-refresh). It deliberately does **not** import the Hermes ``hermes_cli`` package:
-that package is the interactive CLI, not a library Hindsight can depend on. The
-refresh request shape is mirrored from Hermes' own resolver
-(``POST {portal}/api/oauth/token`` with an ``x-nous-refresh-token`` header and a
-``grant_type=refresh_token`` form body), so server-side changes affect both
-clients identically. The inference bearer is the access token itself — in
-Hermes' state the ``agent_key`` field is literally ``= access_token``.
-
-Single-use refresh tokens
--------------------------
-Nous refresh tokens are single-use with server-side reuse-detection: if two
-processes refresh with the same ``refresh_token``, or a rotated token is not
-persisted back, the Portal revokes the whole session as a theft signal. Because
-Hindsight shares ``~/.hermes/auth.json`` with a possibly-running Hermes agent,
-every refresh here is performed while holding the **same cross-process advisory
-lock Hermes uses** (``~/.hermes/auth.lock`` via ``fcntl.flock``) and re-reads the
-latest ``refresh_token`` from disk under that lock before exchanging it. That is
-the protocol Hermes follows too, so the two coordinate safely through the file.
-
-Usage
------
-    mgr = NousAuthManager.from_file()
-    token = mgr.ensure_fresh_token()        # proactive; refreshes if near expiry
-    ...                                       # use token as Bearer
-    mgr.refresh_tokens(force=True)           # reactive, on a 401

-Nous Portal LLM provider for Hindsight.
-
-Thin wrapper over :class:`OpenAICompatibleLLM`. The Nous Portal speaks the
-OpenAI chat-completions wire format, so all request/response handling is
-inherited unchanged. The only thing Nous needs on top is a rotating,
-inference-scoped JWT (there is no static API key in the Hermes login flow),
-which :class:`NousAuthManager` reads from ``~/.hermes/auth.json`` and refreshes
-natively — the same pattern as the Codex provider, with no dependency on the
-``hermes_cli`` package. See ``nous_auth.py`` for the auth mechanics.
-
-Configure with::
-
-    llm_provider = "nous"
-    llm_base_url = "https://inference-api.nousresearch.com/v1"   # or omit
-    llm_model    = "deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash"                  # any Nous slug
-
-No API key is set in config; the token comes from the shared Hermes auth store
-after a one-time ``hermes portal`` login.
