Enable TTL-based adjacency cache for MPFP graph retrieval

The adjacency cache was defined but never used, causing every graph
retrieval to reload ALL edges from the database. Under concurrent load,
this caused severe performance degradation (30-70+ seconds per request).

Changes:
- Add CachedAdjacency dataclass with timestamp
- Implement _get_adjacency() with TTL-based cache checking
- Use asyncio.Lock to prevent thundering herd on cache miss
- Default TTL of 60 seconds (configurable via cache_ttl parameter)
- Add logging for cache hits/misses and edge counts

This significantly reduces database load under concurrent requests by
reusing the in-memory graph representation within the TTL window.

 ## Project Overview
 
-Hindsight is an agent memory system that provides long-term memory for AI agents using biomimetic data structures. It stores memories as World facts, Experiences, Opinions, and Observations across memory banks.
+Hindsight is an agent memory system that provides long-term memory for AI agents using biomimetic data structures. Memories are organized as:
+- **World facts**: General knowledge ("The sky is blue")
+- **Experience facts**: Personal experiences ("I visited Paris in 2023")
+- **Opinion facts**: Beliefs with confidence scores ("Paris is beautiful" - 0.9 confidence)
+- **Observations**: Complex mental models derived from reflection

+- **Recall**: Retrieve memories via 4 parallel strategies (semantic, BM25, graph, temporal) + reranking
+- **Reflect**: Deep analysis forming new opinions/observations (disposition-aware)
 
 ### Database
 PostgreSQL with pgvector. Schema managed via Alembic migrations in `hindsight-api/hindsight_api/alembic/`. Migrations run automatically on API startup.
 
 Key tables: `banks`, `memory_units`, `documents`, `entities`, `entity_links`
 
-### Database Backups (IMPORTANT)
-**Before any operation that may affect the database, run a backup:**
-```bash
-docker exec hindsight /backups/backup.sh
-```
-
-Operations requiring backup:
-- Running database migrations
-- Modifying Alembic migration files
-- Rebuilding Docker images
-- Resetting or recreating containers
-- Any schema changes
-- Bulk data operations
-
-Backups are stored in `~/hindsight-backups/` on the host.
-
-To restore:
-```bash
-docker exec -it hindsight /backups/restore.sh <backup-file.sql.gz>
-```
-
 ## Key Conventions
 
+### Code Quality
+**Always run the lint script after making Python or TypeScript/Node changes:**
+```bash
+./scripts/hooks/lint.sh
+```
+This runs the same checks as the pre-commit hook (Ruff for Python, ESLint/Prettier for TypeScript).
+
 ### Memory Banks
-- Each bank is isolated (no cross-bank data access)
+- Each bank is an isolated memory store (like a "brain" for one user/agent)
 - Banks have dispositions (skepticism, literalism, empathy traits 1-5) affecting reflect
 - Banks can have background context
+- Bank isolation is strict - no cross-bank data leakage
 
 ### API Design
 - All endpoints operate on a single bank per request
-- Multi-bank queries are client responsibility
+- Multi-bank queries are client responsibility to orchestrate
 - Disposition traits only affect reflect, not recall
 
 ### Python Style
@@ -122,11 +133,35 @@ docker exec -it hindsight /backups/restore.sh <backup-file.sql.gz>
 - Async throughout (asyncpg, async FastAPI)
 - Pydantic models for request/response
 - Ruff for linting (line-length 120)

 - Tailwind CSS with shadcn/ui components
 
+### Adding New API Configuration Flags
+
+When adding a new environment variable configuration:
+
+1. **config.py** (`hindsight-api/hindsight_api/config.py`):
+   - Add `ENV_*` constant for the environment variable name
+   - Add `DEFAULT_*` constant for the default value
+   - Add field to `HindsightConfig` dataclass
+   - Add initialization in `from_env()` method
+
+2. **main.py** (`hindsight-api/hindsight_api/main.py`):
+   - Add field to the manual `HindsightConfig()` constructor call (search for "CLI override")
+
+3. **Use the config** in code:
+   ```python
+   from ...config import get_config
+   config = get_config()
+   value = config.your_new_field
+   ```
+
+4. **Documentation** (`hindsight-docs/docs/developer/configuration.md`):
+   - Add to appropriate section table with Variable, Description, Default

-   - For assistant facts: MUST include what the user asked/requested that triggered this!
+DO NOT extract:
+❌ Generic greetings: "how are you", "hello", pleasantries without substance
+❌ Pure filler: "thanks", "sounds good", "ok", "got it", "sure"
+❌ Process chatter: "let me check", "one moment", "I'll look into it"
+❌ Repeated info: if already stated, don't extract again
 
-Plus: fact_type, fact_kind, entities, occurred_start/end (for structured dates), where (structured location)
-
-VERBOSITY REQUIREMENT: Include EVERY detail mentioned. More detail is ALWAYS better than less.
+CONSOLIDATE related statements into ONE fact when possible.
 
 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-COREFERENCE RESOLUTION (CRITICAL)
+FACT FORMAT - BE CONCISE
 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 
-When text uses BOTH a generic relation AND a name for the same person → LINK THEM!
+1. **what**: Core fact - concise but complete (1-2 sentences max)
+2. **when**: Temporal info if mentioned. "N/A" if none. Use day name when known.
+3. **where**: Location if relevant. "N/A" if none.
+4. **who**: People involved with relationships. "N/A" if just general info.
+5. **why**: Context/significance ONLY if important. "N/A" if obvious.
 
-Example input: "I went to my college roommate's wedding last June. Emily finally married Sarah after 5 years together."
-
-CORRECT output:
-- what: "Emily got married to Sarah at a rooftop garden ceremony"
-- when: "Saturday, June 8, 2024, after dating for 5 years"
-- where: "downtown San Francisco, at a rooftop garden venue"
-- who: "Emily (user's college roommate), Sarah (Emily's partner of 5 years)"
-- why: "User found it romantic and beautiful, dreams of similar outdoor ceremony"
-- where (structured): "San Francisco"
-
-WRONG output:
-- what: "User's roommate got married" ← LOSES THE NAME!
-- who: "the roommate" ← WRONG - use the actual name!
-- where: (missing) ← WRONG - include the location!
+CONCISENESS: Capture the essence, not every word. One good sentence beats three mediocre ones.
 
 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-FACT_KIND CLASSIFICATION (CRITICAL FOR TEMPORAL HANDLING)
+COREFERENCE RESOLUTION
 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 
-⚠️ MUST set fact_kind correctly - this determines whether occurred_start/end are set!
-
-fact_kind="event" - USE FOR:
-- Actions that happened at a specific time: "went to", "attended", "visited", "bought", "made"
-- Past events: "yesterday I...", "last week...", "in March 2020..."
-- Future plans with dates: "will go to", "scheduled for"
-- Examples: "I went to a pottery workshop" → event
-           "Alice visited Paris in February" → event
-           "I bought a new car yesterday" → event
-           "The user graduated from MIT in March 2020" → event
-
-fact_kind="conversation" - USE FOR:
-- Ongoing states: "works as", "lives in", "is married to"
-- Preferences: "loves", "prefers", "enjoys"
-- Traits/abilities: "speaks fluent French", "knows Python"
-- Examples: "I love Italian food" → conversation
-           "Alice works at Google" → conversation
-           "I prefer outdoor dining" → conversation
+Link generic references to names when both appear:
+- "my roommate" + "Emily" → use "Emily (user's roommate)"
+- "the manager" + "Sarah" → use "Sarah (the manager)"
 
 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-TEMPORAL HANDLING (CRITICAL - USE EVENT DATE AS REFERENCE)
+CLASSIFICATION
 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 
-⚠️ IMPORTANT: Use the "Event Date" provided in the input as your reference point!
-All relative dates ("yesterday", "last week", "recently") must be resolved relative to the Event Date, NOT today's date.
+fact_kind:
+- "event": Specific datable occurrence (set occurred_start/end)
+- "conversation": Ongoing state, preference, trait (no dates)
 
-For EVENTS (fact_kind="event") - MUST SET BOTH occurred_start AND occurred_end:
-- Convert relative dates → absolute using Event Date as reference
-- If Event Date is "Saturday, March 15, 2020", then "yesterday" = Friday, March 14, 2020
-- Dates mentioned in text (e.g., "in March 2020") should use THAT year, not current year
-- Always include the day name (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) in the 'when' field
-- Set occurred_start AND occurred_end to WHEN IT HAPPENED (not when mentioned)
-- For single-day/point events: set occurred_end = occurred_start (same timestamp)
-
-For CONVERSATIONS (fact_kind="conversation"):
-- General info, preferences, ongoing states → NO occurred dates
-- Examples: "loves coffee", "works as engineer"
+fact_type:
+- "world": About user's life, other people, external events
+- "assistant": Interactions with assistant (requests, recommendations)
 
 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-FACT TYPE
+TEMPORAL HANDLING
 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 
-- **world**: User's life, other people, events (would exist without this conversation)
-- **assistant**: Interactions with assistant (requests, recommendations, help)
-  ⚠️ CRITICAL for assistant facts: ALWAYS capture the user's request/question in the fact!
-  Include: what the user asked, what problem they wanted solved, what context they provided
+Use "Event Date" from input as reference for relative dates.
+- "yesterday" relative to Event Date, not today
+- For events: set occurred_start AND occurred_end (same for point events)
+- For conversation facts: NO occurred dates
 
 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-USER PREFERENCES (CRITICAL)
+ENTITIES
 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 
-ALWAYS extract user preferences as separate facts! Watch for these keywords:
-- "enjoy", "like", "love", "prefer", "hate", "dislike", "favorite", "ideal", "dream", "want"
-
-Example: "I love Italian food and prefer outdoor dining"
-→ Fact 1: what="User loves Italian food", who="user", why="This is a food preference", entities=["user"]
-→ Fact 2: what="User prefers outdoor dining", who="user", why="This is a dining preference", entities=["user"]
-
-══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-ENTITIES - INCLUDE PEOPLE, PLACES, OBJECTS, AND CONCEPTS (CRITICAL)
-══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-
-Extract entities that help link related facts together. Include:
-1. "user" - when the fact is about the user
-2. People names - Emily, Dr. Smith, etc.
-3. Organizations/Places - IKEA, Goodwill, New York, etc.
-4. Specific objects - coffee maker, toaster, car, laptop, kitchen, etc.
-5. Abstract concepts - themes, values, emotions, or ideas that capture the essence of the fact:
-   - "friendship" for facts about friends helping each other, bonding, loyalty
-   - "career growth" for facts about promotions, learning new skills, job changes
-   - "loss" or "grief" for facts about death, endings, saying goodbye
-   - "celebration" for facts about parties, achievements, milestones
-   - "trust" or "betrayal" for facts involving those themes
-
-✅ CORRECT: entities=["user", "coffee maker", "Goodwill", "kitchen"] for "User donated their coffee maker to Goodwill"
-✅ CORRECT: entities=["user", "Emily", "friendship"] for "Emily helped user move to a new apartment"
-✅ CORRECT: entities=["user", "promotion", "career growth"] for "User got promoted to senior engineer"
-✅ CORRECT: entities=["user", "grandmother", "loss", "grief"] for "User's grandmother passed away last week"
-❌ WRONG: entities=["user", "Emily"] only - missing the "friendship" concept that links to other friendship facts!
+Include: people names, organizations, places, key objects, abstract concepts (career, friendship, etc.)
+Always include "user" when fact is about the user.
 
 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 EXAMPLES
 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 
-Example 1 - World Facts (Event Date: Tuesday, June 10, 2024):
-Input: "I'm planning my wedding and want a small outdoor ceremony. I just got back from my college roommate Emily's wedding - she married Sarah at a rooftop garden, it was so romantic!"
+Example 1 - Selective extraction (Event Date: June 10, 2024):
+Input: "Hey! How's it going? Good morning! So I'm planning my wedding - want a small outdoor ceremony. Just got back from Emily's wedding, she married Sarah at a rooftop garden. It was nice weather. I grabbed a coffee on the way."
 
-Output facts:
+Output: ONLY 2 facts (skip greetings, weather, coffee):
+1. what="User planning wedding, wants small outdoor ceremony", who="user", why="N/A", entities=["user", "wedding"]
+2. what="Emily married Sarah at rooftop garden", who="Emily (user's friend), Sarah", occurred_start="2024-06-09", entities=["Emily", "Sarah", "wedding"]
 
-1. User's wedding preference
-   - what: "User wants a small outdoor ceremony for their wedding"
-   - who: "user"
-   - why: "User prefers intimate outdoor settings"
-   - fact_type: "world", fact_kind: "conversation"
-   - entities: ["user", "wedding", "outdoor ceremony"]
+Example 2 - Professional context:
+Input: "Alice has 5 years of Kubernetes experience and holds CKA certification. She's been leading the infrastructure team since March. By the way, she prefers dark roast coffee."
 
-2. User planning wedding
-   - what: "User is planning their own wedding"
-   - who: "user"
-   - why: "Inspired by Emily's ceremony"
-   - fact_type: "world", fact_kind: "conversation"
-   - entities: ["user", "wedding"]
-
-3. Emily's wedding (THE EVENT - note occurred_start AND occurred_end both set)
-   - what: "Emily got married to Sarah at a rooftop garden ceremony in the city"
-   - who: "Emily (user's college roommate), Sarah (Emily's partner)"
-   - why: "User found it romantic and beautiful"
-   - fact_type: "world", fact_kind: "event"
-   - occurred_start: "2024-06-09T00:00:00Z" (recently, user "just got back" - relative to Event Date June 10, 2024)
-   - occurred_end: "2024-06-09T23:59:59Z" (same day - point event)
-   - entities: ["user", "Emily", "Sarah", "wedding", "rooftop garden"]
-
-Example 2 - Assistant Facts (Context: March 5, 2024):
-Input: "User: My API is really slow when we have 1000+ concurrent users. What can I do?
-Assistant: I'd recommend implementing Redis for caching frequently-accessed data, which should reduce your database load by 70-80%."
-
-Output fact:
-   - what: "Assistant recommended implementing Redis for caching frequently-accessed data to improve API performance"
-   - when: "March 5, 2024 during conversation"
-   - who: "user, assistant"
-   - why: "User asked how to fix slow API performance with 1000+ concurrent users, expected 70-80% reduction in database load"
-   - fact_type: "assistant", fact_kind: "conversation"
-   - entities: ["user", "API", "Redis"]
-
-Example 3 - Kitchen Items with Concept Inference (Event Date: Thursday, May 30, 2024):
-Input: "I finally donated my old coffee maker to Goodwill. I upgraded to that new espresso machine last month and the old one was just taking up counter space."
-
-Output fact:
-   - what: "User donated their old coffee maker to Goodwill after upgrading to a new espresso machine"
-   - when: "Thursday, May 30, 2024"
-   - who: "user"
-   - why: "The old coffee maker was taking up counter space after the upgrade"
-   - fact_type: "world", fact_kind: "event"
-   - occurred_start: "2024-05-30T00:00:00Z" (uses Event Date year)
-   - occurred_end: "2024-05-30T23:59:59Z" (same day - point event)
-   - entities: ["user", "coffee maker", "Goodwill", "espresso machine", "kitchen"]
-
-Note: "kitchen" is inferred as a concept because coffee makers and espresso machines are kitchen appliances.
-This links the fact to other kitchen-related facts (toaster, faucet, kitchen mat, etc.) via the shared "kitchen" entity.
-
-Note how the "why" field captures the FULL STORY: what the user asked AND what outcome was expected!
+Output: ONLY 2 facts (skip coffee preference - too trivial):
+1. what="Alice has 5 years Kubernetes experience, CKA certified", who="Alice", entities=["Alice", "Kubernetes", "CKA"]
+2. what="Alice leads infrastructure team since March", who="Alice", entities=["Alice", "infrastructure"]

+Mike told me about his new job at a tech startup in San Francisco. He's working as a senior

+In the afternoon, we went to see a movie - the new sci-fi thriller that everyone's been talking
+about. I thought it was okay, maybe a 7 out of 10. Mike loved it though. He's always been more
+into action-heavy films than I am.

+# Admin CLI
+
+The `hindsight-admin` CLI provides administrative commands for managing your Hindsight deployment, including database migrations, backup, and restore operations.
+
+## Installation
+
+The admin CLI is included with the `hindsight-api` package:
+
+```bash
+pip install hindsight-api
+# or
+uv add hindsight-api
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+### run-db-migration
+
+Run database migrations to the latest version. This is useful when you want to run migrations separately from API startup (e.g., in CI/CD pipelines or before deploying a new version).
+
+```bash
+hindsight-admin run-db-migration [OPTIONS]
+```
+
+**Options:**
+
+| Option | Description | Default |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| `--schema`, `-s` | Database schema to run migrations on | `public` |
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```bash
+# Run migrations on the default public schema
+hindsight-admin run-db-migration
+
+# Run migrations on a specific tenant schema
+hindsight-admin run-db-migration --schema tenant_acme
+```
+
+:::tip Disabling Auto-Migrations
+To disable automatic migrations on API startup, set `HINDSIGHT_API_RUN_MIGRATIONS_ON_STARTUP=false`. This is useful when you want to run migrations as a separate step in your deployment pipeline.
+:::
+
+---
+
+### backup
+
+Create a backup of all Hindsight data to a zip file.
+
+```bash
+hindsight-admin backup OUTPUT [OPTIONS]
+```
+
+**Arguments:**
+
+| Argument | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `OUTPUT` | Output file path (will add `.zip` extension if not present) |
+
+**Options:**
+
+| Option | Description | Default |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| `--schema`, `-s` | Database schema to backup | `public` |
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```bash
+# Backup to a file
+hindsight-admin backup /backups/hindsight-2024-01-15.zip
+
+# Backup a specific tenant schema
+hindsight-admin backup /backups/tenant-acme.zip --schema tenant_acme
+```
+
+The backup includes:
+- Memory banks and their configuration
+- Documents and chunks
+- Entities and their relationships
+- Memory units (facts, experiences, opinions, observations)
+- Entity cooccurrences and memory links
+
+:::note Consistency
+Backups are created within a database transaction with `REPEATABLE READ` isolation, ensuring a consistent snapshot across all tables.
+:::
+
+---
+
+### restore
+
+Restore data from a backup file. **Warning: This deletes all existing data in the target schema.**
+
+```bash
+hindsight-admin restore INPUT [OPTIONS]
+```
+
+**Arguments:**
+
+| Argument | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `INPUT` | Input backup file (.zip) |
+
+**Options:**
+
+| Option | Description | Default |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| `--schema`, `-s` | Database schema to restore to | `public` |
+| `--yes`, `-y` | Skip confirmation prompt | `false` |
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```bash
+# Restore with confirmation prompt
+hindsight-admin restore /backups/hindsight-2024-01-15.zip
+
+# Restore without confirmation (for scripts)
+hindsight-admin restore /backups/hindsight-2024-01-15.zip --yes
+
+# Restore to a specific tenant schema
+hindsight-admin restore /backups/tenant-acme.zip --schema tenant_acme --yes
+```
+
+:::warning Data Loss
+Restore will **delete all existing data** in the target schema before importing the backup. Always verify you have a recent backup before performing a restore.
+:::
+
+---
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+The admin CLI uses the same environment variables as the API service. The most important one is:
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `HINDSIGHT_API_DATABASE_URL` | PostgreSQL connection string | `pg0` (embedded) |

+# Use a specific database
+export HINDSIGHT_API_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/hindsight
+hindsight-admin backup /backups/mybackup.zip

+# Multilingual Support
+
+Hindsight automatically detects the language of your input and responds in the same language. This means facts, entities, and reflections are preserved in their original language without translation to English.
+
+## How It Works
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+    A[Chinese Input] --> B[Language Detection]
+    B --> C[Extract Facts in Chinese]
+    C --> D[Chinese Entities]
+    D --> E[Chinese Response]
+```
+
+When you retain content or reflect on a query, Hindsight:
+
+1. **Detects the input language** automatically from the content
+2. **Extracts facts in the original language** - preserving nuance and meaning
+3. **Stores entities in their native script** - 张伟 stays 张伟, not "Zhang Wei"
+4. **Responds in the same language** - queries in Chinese get Chinese answers
+
+---
+
+## Retain with Non-English Content
+
+When you retain content in any language, Hindsight extracts and stores facts in that same language.
+
+### Example: Chinese Content
+
+```python
+from hindsight import Hindsight
+
+hindsight = Hindsight()
+
+# Retain Chinese content
+hindsight.retain(
+    bank_id="user-123",
+    content="""
+    张伟是一位资深软件工程师，在腾讯工作了五年。
+    他专门研究分布式系统，并领导了公司微服务架构的开发。
+    """,
+    context="团队概述"
+)
+
+# Query in Chinese - get Chinese results
+results = hindsight.recall(
+    bank_id="user-123",
+    query="告诉我关于张伟的信息"
+)
+
+# Facts are returned in Chinese:
+# - 张伟是一位资深软件工程师，在腾讯工作了五年
+# - 张伟专门研究分布式系统，并领导了公司微服务架构的开发
+```
+
+### Example: Japanese Content
+
+```python
+hindsight.retain(
+    bank_id="user-123",
+    content="""
+    田中さんはソフトウェアエンジニアで、東京のスタートアップで働いています。
+    彼女はPythonとTypeScriptが得意で、毎日コードレビューをしています。
+    """,
+    context="チームプロフィール"
+)
+
+# Query in Japanese
+results = hindsight.recall(
+    bank_id="user-123",
+    query="田中さんについて教えてください"
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Reflect with Non-English Queries
+
+The `reflect` operation also respects the input language, generating thoughtful responses in the same language as the query.
+
+### Example: Chinese Reflection
+
+```python
+# Store facts about team members (in Chinese)
+hindsight.retain(
+    bank_id="team-eval",
+    content="张伟是一位优秀的软件工程师，完成了五个重大项目。他总是按时交付，代码整洁有良好的文档。",
+    context="绩效评估"
+)
+
+hindsight.retain(
+    bank_id="team-eval",
+    content="李明最近加入团队。他错过了第一个截止日期，代码有很多bug。",
+    context="绩效评估"
+)
+
+# Reflect in Chinese
+result = hindsight.reflect(
+    bank_id="team-eval",
+    query="谁是更可靠的工程师？"
+)
+
+# Response is in Chinese:
+# "我认为张伟更可靠。张伟完成了五个重大项目，按时交付，代码质量高..."
+```
+
+---
+
+## Mixed Language Content
+
+Hindsight handles mixed-language content gracefully, preserving both languages where appropriate.
+
+### Example: Chinese Text with English Company Names
+
+```python
+hindsight.retain(
+    bank_id="user-123",
+    content="""
+    王芳在Google北京办公室工作，她是一名高级产品经理。
+    之前她在Microsoft和Amazon工作过。
+    她负责管理YouTube在中国市场的推广策略。
+    """,
+    context="员工资料"
+)
+
+# Facts preserve both languages:
+# - 王芳在Google北京办公室工作，担任高级产品经理
+# - 王芳曾在Microsoft和Amazon工作过
+# - 王芳负责管理YouTube在中国市场的推广策略
+```
+
+---
+
+## Supported Languages
+
+**Hindsight's multilingual support depends entirely on your LLM's language capabilities.** Hindsight instructs the LLM to detect the input language and respond in that same language. If your LLM supports a language, Hindsight will work with it.
+
+Most modern LLMs (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama 3, etc.) support dozens of languages including:
+
+- **East Asian**: Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Japanese, Korean
+- **European**: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian
+- **Middle Eastern**: Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish
+- **South Asian**: Hindi, Bengali, Tamil
+- **Southeast Asian**: Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian
+
+**To verify support for your target language**, test your LLM directly with content in that language. If the LLM can understand and generate text in the language, Hindsight will preserve it correctly.
+
+---
+
+## Configuring for Multilingual Use
+
+For optimal multilingual performance, you should configure all three components of the pipeline:
+
+### 1. LLM (Required)
+Your LLM must support the target languages. Most modern LLMs do, but verify with your specific model.
+
+### 2. Embedding Model (Recommended)
+The default embedding model (`BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5`) is **English-only**. For multilingual content, use a multilingual embedding model:
+
+```bash
+# In your .env file
+HINDSIGHT_API_EMBEDDINGS_LOCAL_MODEL=BAAI/bge-m3
+```
+
+**Recommended multilingual embedding models:**
+| Model | Languages | Notes |
+|-------|-----------|-------|
+| `BAAI/bge-m3` | 100+ | Best overall multilingual performance |
+| `intfloat/multilingual-e5-large` | 100+ | Good alternative |
+| `sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2` | 50+ | Lighter weight |
+
+### 3. Reranker Model (Recommended)
+The default reranker (`cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2`) is **English-only**. For multilingual content, use a multilingual reranker:
+
+```bash
+# In your .env file
+HINDSIGHT_API_RERANKER_LOCAL_MODEL=BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3
+```
+
+**Recommended multilingual reranker models:**
+| Model | Languages | Notes |
+|-------|-----------|-------|
+| `BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3` | 100+ | Best multilingual reranking |
+| `cross-encoder/mmarco-mMiniLMv2-L12-H384-v1` | 14 | Lighter alternative |
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Use Multilingual Models for Non-English Content
+If you primarily work with non-English content, configure multilingual embedding and reranker models. English-only models will still store your content correctly, but semantic search quality will be degraded.
+
+### 2. Keep Content in One Language Per Retain Call
+While mixed content works, keeping each `retain` call in a single language produces more consistent results.
+
+### 3. Query in the Same Language as Your Content
+For best results, query using the same language as your stored content. Cross-language queries (e.g., English query for Chinese content) may work but results can vary depending on your embedding model.
+
+---
+
+## Technical Details
+
+Multilingual support is implemented through LLM prompt instructions rather than external language detection libraries. This approach:
+
+- **Requires no additional dependencies**
+- **Works with any LLM** that supports multiple languages
+- **Handles edge cases** like mixed-language content naturally
+- **Preserves semantic meaning** better than rule-based translation
+
+The LLM is instructed to:
+1. Detect the input language
+2. Extract all facts, entities, and descriptions in that same language
+3. Never translate to English unless the input is in English
