feat(cli): cover every OpenAPI endpoint and request-body param

Wires the Rust CLI up to every endpoint exposed by the Hindsight OpenAPI
spec and adds CI enforcement so new endpoints or new request-body fields
cannot slip in without matching CLI coverage.

Endpoints
- New `hindsight webhook {list,create,update,delete,deliveries}` and
  `hindsight audit {list,stats}` subcommands.
- `hindsight bank` gains `set-disposition`, `consolidation-recover`,
  `export-template`, `import-template`, `template-schema`.
- `hindsight memory` gains `history` and per-memory `clear-observations`.
- `hindsight document update`, `hindsight operation retry` added.
- Brings CLI coverage from 46/62 to 62/62 operations.

Request-body parameters
- Expose missing flags that the CLI was silently hardcoding: directive
  `--priority`; mental-model `--tags` / `--max-tokens` /
  `--trigger-refresh-after-consolidation`; recall `--query-timestamp`;
  reflect `--fact-types` / `--exclude-mental-models` /
  `--exclude-mental-model-ids`; retain `--document-tags`.

CI enforcement
- New `cli-coverage-check` entry point in `hindsight-dev` parses
  openapi.json and verifies that (a) every operationId is called from
  hindsight-cli/src/ (the progenitor client method names match the
  operationId), and (b) every request-body property is present in
  main.rs as a clap field or `long = "..."` attribute.
- Intentional non-exposures live in `hindsight-cli/.openapi-coverage.toml`
  under `[skip]` / `[fields.<op>]` with a reason each (38 documented
  field skips for flattened structs, nested structs, or fields surfaced
  via a different subcommand).
- New `check-cli-coverage` job in .github/workflows/test.yml, triggered
  on cli/core/dev/ci path changes, runs the script on every PR.
- smoke-test.sh exercises the new webhook / audit / bank-template /
  set-disposition / consolidation-recover commands.

+user_invocable: true
+---
+
+# Code Review
+
+Review all changed code against the project's quality standards and coding conventions.
+
+## Code Standards
+
+Read and internalize these standards before writing code. The review steps below verify compliance.
+
+### Python Style
+- Python 3.11+, type hints required
+- Async throughout (asyncpg, async FastAPI)
+- Pydantic models for request/response
+- Ruff for linting (line-length 120)
+- No Python files at project root - maintain clean directory structure
+- **Never use multi-item tuple return values** — not even for internal/private functions. Always use a dataclass or Pydantic model. No exceptions, no "it's just two values" shortcuts. If a function returns more than one value, define a named type for it.
+
+### Type Safety with Pydantic Models
+**NEVER use raw `dict` types for structured data** — this applies to all code, including internal helpers and private functions. If the dict has known keys, it must be a dataclass or Pydantic model:
+- Use Pydantic `BaseModel` for all data structures passed between functions
+- Use `@dataclass` for lightweight internal data containers when Pydantic validation isn't needed
+- Add `@field_validator` for type coercion (e.g., ensuring datetimes are timezone-aware)
+- Avoid `dict.get()` patterns - use typed model attributes instead
+- Parse external data (JSON, API responses) into Pydantic models at the boundary
+- This catches type errors at parse time, not deep in business logic
+- The only acceptable `dict` usage is for truly dynamic/unknown keys (e.g., arbitrary metadata, JSON blobs with no fixed schema)
+
+```python
+# BAD - error-prone dict access
+def process(data: dict) -> str:
+    return data.get("name", "")  # No validation, silent failures
+
+# GOOD - typed and validated
+class UserData(BaseModel):
+    name: str
+    created_at: datetime
+
+    @field_validator("created_at", mode="before")
+    @classmethod
+    def ensure_tz_aware(cls, v):
+        if isinstance(v, str):
+            v = datetime.fromisoformat(v.replace("Z", "+00:00"))
+        if v.tzinfo is None:
+            return v.replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc)
+        return v
+
+def process(data: UserData) -> str:
+    return data.name  # Type-safe, validated at construction
+```
+
+### TypeScript Style
+- Next.js App Router for control plane
+- Tailwind CSS with shadcn/ui components
+
+### Code Comments
+- **Always comment non-trivial technical decisions** with the reasoning behind the choice. If someone would ask "why is it done this way?", there should be a comment.
+- **Keep comments up to date with history** — when changing an approach, update the comment to explain what was tried before and why it was changed. Comments serve as a tracker of previous implementations that likely had problems.
+- Don't comment obvious code — only where the "why" isn't self-evident from the code itself.
+
+```python
+# BAD - no context for future readers
+results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks, return_exceptions=True)
+
+# GOOD - explains the non-obvious choice
+# Use return_exceptions=True to avoid cancelling sibling tasks on failure.
+# Previously we used TaskGroup but it cancelled all tasks when one failed,
+# causing partial writes that left orphaned entity links (see #412).
+results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks, return_exceptions=True)
+```
+
+### Branch Hygiene
+- **Always start new feature branches from `origin/main`** — rebase to ensure a clean base.
+- **Only include commits relevant to the PR/branch/feature** — no unrelated changes. If the branch contains commits that don't belong, they must be removed before merging.
+
+### General Principles
+- Don't add features, refactor code, or make "improvements" beyond what was asked
+- Don't add unnecessary error handling for impossible scenarios
+- Don't create helpers or abstractions for one-time operations
+- No backwards-compatibility hacks (unused vars, re-exports, "removed" comments)
+- Three similar lines of code is better than a premature abstraction
+
+## Review Steps
+
+### 1. Check branch hygiene
+
+- Run `git log --oneline main..HEAD` to list all commits on the branch.
+- Verify every commit is relevant to the feature/PR. Flag any unrelated commits.
+- Check the branch is based on a recent `origin/main` (no stale base).
+
+### 2. Identify changed files
+
+Run `git diff --name-only HEAD` (unstaged) and `git diff --cached --name-only` (staged) to get all changed files. If there are no local changes, diff against the base branch using `git diff main...HEAD --name-only` and `git diff main...HEAD` to review all commits on the current branch.
+
+### 3. Run linters
+
+```bash
+./scripts/hooks/lint.sh
+```
+
+Report any failures. Do NOT fix them yourself — just report.
+
+### 4. Check for dead code
+
+For each changed Python file, check for:
+- Unused imports (Ruff should catch these, but verify)
+- Functions/methods/classes that were added but are never called from anywhere
+- Variables assigned but never read
+- Commented-out code blocks that should be removed
+
+For each changed TypeScript file, check for:
+- Unused imports
+- Unused variables or functions
+- Commented-out code
+
+### 5. Check type safety (Python)
+
+For each changed Python file, check for violations:
+- **No raw `dict` for structured data** — must use Pydantic model or dataclass, even for internal/private functions (only exception: truly dynamic/unknown keys)
+- **No multi-item tuple returns** — must use dataclass or Pydantic model, even for internal/private functions (no exceptions)
+- **Missing type hints** on function parameters and return types
+- **Missing `@field_validator`** for datetime fields that should be timezone-aware
+
+### 6. Check for missing tests
+
+For each new or significantly changed function/endpoint/class:
+- Check if there is a corresponding test addition or update
+- New API endpoints MUST have integration tests
+- New utility functions MUST have unit tests
+- Bug fixes SHOULD have a regression test
+
+Flag any new logic that lacks test coverage.
+
+### 7. Check API consistency
+
+If any files in `hindsight-api-slim/hindsight_api/api/` were changed:
+- Were the OpenAPI specs regenerated? (`./scripts/generate-openapi.sh`)
+- Were the client SDKs regenerated? (`./scripts/generate-clients.sh`)
+- Were the control plane proxy routes updated? (`hindsight-control-plane/src/app/api/`)
+
+### 8. Check code comments
+
+For each non-trivial change:
+- **New non-obvious logic** — is there a comment explaining the reasoning?
+- **Changed approach** — does the comment include what was done before and why it changed?
+- **Stale comments** — do existing comments near the changed code still accurately describe the behavior?
+
+### 9. Check integration completeness
+
+If any files in `hindsight-integrations/` were added or changed, verify:
+- **Tests exist** — the integration must have tests that simulate/exercise the external framework (not just pure unit tests of helpers). Check for a `tests/` directory with meaningful test files.
+- **CI job exists** — check `.github/workflows/test.yml` for a corresponding `test-<name>-integration` job. If missing, flag it.
+- **Release process** — check that the integration name is in the `VALID_INTEGRATIONS` array in `scripts/release-integration.sh`. If missing, flag it.
+- **Code standards** — the integration code must follow all Python style rules (type hints, no raw dicts, no tuple returns, etc.).
+
+### 10. Check MCP tool registration completeness
+
+If any new MCP tools were added or existing tools renamed in `hindsight-api-slim/hindsight_api/mcp_tools.py`:
+- **`_ALL_TOOLS` set** in `mcp_tools.py` — must include the new tool name
+- **`tools_to_register` default set** in `register_mcp_tools()` in `mcp_tools.py` — must include the new tool name
+- **`_SINGLE_BANK_TOOLS` set** in `hindsight-api-slim/hindsight_api/api/mcp.py` — must include the new tool if it is bank-scoped (not a bank-management tool like `list_banks`/`create_bank`)
+- **`MCP_TOOL_GROUPS`** in `hindsight-control-plane/src/components/bank-config-view.tsx` — must include the new tool in the appropriate group for the UI tool selector
+- **Tool count assertions** in tests (e.g., `test_mcp_tools.py`) — must be updated to reflect the new count
+
+### 11. Review against other coding standards
+
+Check the diff for violations of the standards listed above:
+- Python files at project root (not allowed)
+- Missing async patterns (should be async throughout)
+- Pydantic models for request/response
+- Line length > 120 chars
+- New features/code beyond what was asked (over-engineering)
+- Unnecessary error handling for impossible scenarios
+- Premature abstractions or speculative helpers
+- Backwards-compatibility hacks (unused vars, re-exports, "removed" comments)
+
+### 12. Report findings
+
+Present a clear summary organized by severity:
+
+**Must fix** — issues that will break CI or violate hard project rules:
+- Unrelated commits on the branch
+- Lint failures
+- Missing type hints on public functions
+- Raw dict usage for structured data (including internal code)
+- Multi-item tuple returns (including internal code)
+- Missing tests for new endpoints
+- New integration missing tests, CI job, or release-integration.sh entry
+
+**Should fix** — issues that hurt code quality:
+- Dead code / unused imports missed by linter
+- Missing tests for non-trivial utility functions
+- Over-engineering beyond the task scope
+
+**Note** — observations that may or may not need action:
+- API changes that might need client regeneration
+- Patterns that deviate from nearby code style
+
+For each finding, include the file path, line number, and a brief explanation.
+
+Do NOT auto-fix any issues. Report all findings and let the user decide what to address. If there are no findings, confirm the code looks good.

-## Core Concepts
-
-### Memory Banks
-- Each bank is an isolated memory store (like a "brain" for one user/agent)
-- Banks contain: memory units (facts), entities, documents, entity links
-- Banks have a **disposition** (personality traits) and **background** (context)
-- Bank isolation is strict - no cross-bank data leakage
-
-### Memory Types
-- **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)
-
-### Operations
-- **Retain**: Store new memories (extracts facts, entities, relationships)
-- **Recall**: Retrieve memories (semantic, BM25, graph, temporal search)
-- **Reflect**: Deep analysis to form new insights/opinions
-
-## API Design Decisions
-
-### Single Bank Per Request
-- All API endpoints (`recall`, `reflect`, `retain`) operate on a single bank
-- Multi-bank queries are the **client/agent's responsibility** to orchestrate
-- This keeps the API simple and the isolation model clear
-
-### Disposition Traits (3-trait system)
-- **Skepticism** (1-5): How skeptical vs trusting when forming opinions
-- **Literalism** (1-5): How literally to interpret information
-- **Empathy** (1-5): How much to consider emotional context
-- These influence the `reflect` operation, not `recall`
-- Background info also only affects `reflect` (opinion formation)
-
-## Multi-Bank Architecture Patterns
-
-See [hindsight-docs/docs/cookbook/](./hindsight-docs/docs/cookbook/) for detailed guides:
-
-- **Per-User Memory**: One bank per user, simplest pattern
-- **Support Agent + Shared Knowledge**: User bank + shared docs bank, client orchestrates
-
-## Developer Guide
-
-### Running the API Server
-
-```bash
-# From project root
-./scripts/dev/start-api.sh
-
-# With options
-./scripts/dev/start-api.sh --reload --port 8888 --log-level debug
-```
-
-### Running Tests
-
-```bash
-# API tests
-cd hindsight-api
-uv run pytest tests/
-
-# Specific test
-uv run pytest tests/test_http_api_integration.py -v
-```
-
-### Generating OpenAPI Spec
-
-After changing API endpoints, regenerate the OpenAPI spec and docs:
-
-```bash
-./scripts/generate-openapi.sh
-```
-
-This will:
-1. Generate `openapi.json` at project root
-2. Copy to `hindsight-docs/openapi.json`
-3. Regenerate API reference documentation
-
-### Generating API Clients
-
-After updating the OpenAPI spec, regenerate all clients:
-
-```bash
-./scripts/generate-clients.sh
-```
-
-This generates:
-- **Rust client**: `hindsight-clients/rust/` (via progenitor in build.rs)
-- **Python client**: `hindsight-clients/python/` (via openapi-generator Docker)
-- **TypeScript client**: `hindsight-clients/typescript/` (via @hey-api/openapi-ts)
-
-Note: The maintained wrapper `hindsight_client.py` and `README.md` are preserved during regeneration.
-
-### Running the Documentation Site
-
-```bash
-./scripts/dev/start-docs.sh
-```
-
-### Running the Control Plane
-
-```bash
-./scripts/dev/start-control-plane.sh
-```
-
-## Code Style
-
-### Python (hindsight-api)
-- Use `uv` for package management
-- Async throughout (asyncpg, async FastAPI endpoints)
-- Pydantic models for request/response validation
-- No py files at project root - maintain clean directory structure
-
-### TypeScript (control-plane, clients)
-- Next.js with App Router for control plane
-- Tailwind CSS with shadcn/ui components
-
-### Rust (CLI)
-- Async with tokio
-- reqwest for HTTP client
-- progenitor for API client generation
-
-## Database
-
-- PostgreSQL with pgvector extension
-- Schema managed via Alembic migrations in `hindsight-api/alembic/`, db migrations happen during api startup, no manual commands
-- Key tables: `banks`, `memory_units`, `documents`, `entities`, `entity_links`

+## Project Overview
+
+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")
+- **Mental models**: Consolidated knowledge synthesized from facts ("User prefers functional programming patterns")
+

+
+### Database
+PostgreSQL with pgvector. Schema managed via Alembic migrations in `hindsight-api-slim/hindsight_api/alembic/`. Migrations run automatically on API startup.
+
+Key tables: `banks`, `memory_units`, `documents`, `entities`, `entity_links`
+
+### Adding Database Migrations
+
+1. **Create a new migration file** in `hindsight-api-slim/hindsight_api/alembic/versions/`:
+   - File name format: `<revision_id>_<description>.py` (e.g., `f1a2b3c4d5e6_add_new_index.py`)
+   - Use a unique hex revision ID (12 chars)
+   - Set `down_revision` to the previous migration's revision ID
+
+2. **Migration template**:
+   ```python
+   """Description of the migration
+
+   Revision ID: f1a2b3c4d5e6
+   Revises: <previous_revision_id>
+   Create Date: YYYY-MM-DD
+   """
+   from collections.abc import Sequence
+   from alembic import context, op
+
+   revision: str = "f1a2b3c4d5e6"
+   down_revision: str | Sequence[str] | None = "<previous_revision_id>"
+   branch_labels: str | Sequence[str] | None = None
+   depends_on: str | Sequence[str] | None = None
+
+   def _get_schema_prefix() -> str:
+       """Get schema prefix for table names (required for multi-tenant support)."""
+       schema = context.config.get_main_option("target_schema")
+       return f'"{schema}".' if schema else ""
+
+   def upgrade() -> None:
+       schema = _get_schema_prefix()
+       op.execute(f"CREATE INDEX ... ON {schema}table_name(...)")
+
+   def downgrade() -> None:
+       schema = _get_schema_prefix()
+       op.execute(f"DROP INDEX IF EXISTS {schema}index_name")
+   ```
+
+3. **Run migrations locally**:
+   ```bash
+   # Set database URL and run migrations for the base schema plus all tenants
+   uv run hindsight-admin run-db-migration
+
+   # Run on a specific tenant schema
+   uv run hindsight-admin run-db-migration --schema tenant_xyz
+   ```
+
+## Key Conventions
+
+### Code Quality
+
+**Before writing code, read `.claude/skills/code-review/SKILL.md`** for the full coding standards (Python style, type safety, TypeScript style, general principles).
+
+**Always run the lint script after making Python or TypeScript/Node changes:**
+```bash
+./scripts/hooks/lint.sh
+```
+
+**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.
+
+### Memory Banks
+- 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 to orchestrate
+- Disposition traits only affect reflect, not recall
+
+### Control Plane API Routes
+
+When adding or modifying parameters in the dataplane API (hindsight-api), you must also update the control plane routes that proxy to it:
+
+1. **API Routes** (`hindsight-control-plane/src/app/api/`):
+   - `recall/route.ts` - proxies to `/v1/default/banks/{bank_id}/memories/recall`
+   - `reflect/route.ts` - proxies to `/v1/default/banks/{bank_id}/reflect`
+   - `memories/retain/route.ts` - proxies to `/v1/default/banks/{bank_id}/memories/retain`
+   - Other routes follow the same pattern
+
+2. **Client types** (`hindsight-control-plane/src/lib/api.ts`):
+   - Update the TypeScript type definitions for `recall()`, `reflect()`, `retain()` etc.
+
+3. **Checklist when adding new API parameters**:
+   - Add parameter extraction in the route handler (destructure from `body`)
+   - Pass the parameter to the SDK call
+   - Update the client type definition in `lib/api.ts`
+   - Update any UI components that need to use the new parameter
+
+### Adding New Integrations
+
+Every new integration in `hindsight-integrations/` must satisfy all of the following before it can be merged:
+
+1. **Tests are required** — tests must simulate or exercise the external system (mock the framework's interfaces and verify the integration actually calls Hindsight correctly). Pure unit tests of helper functions are not sufficient.
+2. **CI job** — add a test job in `.github/workflows/test.yml` following the existing pattern (e.g., `test-crewai-integration`). The job must build, install deps, and run `uv run pytest tests -v`. Also add the integration to `detect-changes` outputs so it only runs when its files change.
+3. **Release process** — add the integration name to the `VALID_INTEGRATIONS` array in `scripts/release-integration.sh` so it can be released via the standard release workflow.
+4. **Follow project code standards** — Python style, type safety, no raw dicts for structured data, no multi-item tuple returns (see `.claude/skills/code-review/SKILL.md`).
+
+If any of these are missing, the integration is incomplete and must not be pushed or merged.
+
+### Adding New API Configuration Flags
+
+Configuration follows a hierarchical system: **Global (env vars) → Tenant (via extension) → Bank (database)**.
+
+Fields must be categorized as either **hierarchical** (can be overridden per-tenant/bank) or **static** (server-level only).
+
+#### Adding a New Configuration Field
+
+1. **config.py** (`hindsight-api-slim/hindsight_api/config.py`):
+   - Add `ENV_*` constant for the environment variable name (e.g., `ENV_MY_SETTING = "HINDSIGHT_API_MY_SETTING"`)
+   - Add `DEFAULT_*` constant for the default value
+   - Add field to `HindsightConfig` dataclass with type annotation
+   - **Mark as configurable** by adding to `_CONFIGURABLE_FIELDS` set if the field should be overridable per-tenant/bank via API
+   - Add initialization in `from_env()` method
+
+   ```python
+   # Configurable field (can be overridden per-tenant/bank via API)
+   _CONFIGURABLE_FIELDS = {
+       ...,
+       "my_setting",  # Add here for configurable
+   }
+
+   # Static field - just don't add to _CONFIGURABLE_FIELDS
+   ```
+
+2. **main.py** (`hindsight-api-slim/hindsight_api/main.py`):
+   - Add field to the manual `HindsightConfig()` constructor call (search for "CLI override")
+
+3. **Use hierarchical config in MemoryEngine**:
+   ```python
+   # Config is resolved automatically per bank via ConfigResolver
+   config_dict = await self._config_resolver.get_bank_config(bank_id, context)
+   value = config_dict["my_setting"]
+   ```
+
+4. **Use static config** (non-hierarchical):
+   ```python
+   from ...config import get_config
+   config = get_config()
+   value = config.my_static_field
+   ```
+
+5. **Documentation** (`hindsight-docs/docs/developer/configuration.md`):
+   - Add to appropriate section table with Variable, Description, Default
+   - Mark if it's hierarchical (can be overridden per-bank)
+
+#### Hierarchical vs Static Guidelines
+
+**Hierarchical** (per-bank overridable):
+- LLM settings (provider, model, API key, base URL)
+- Operation-specific settings (retain mode, chunk size, etc.)
+- Feature flags that vary by customer/bank
+
+**Static** (server-level only):
+- Infrastructure settings (database URL, port, host)
+- Global limits (max concurrent operations)
+- System-wide feature flags
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+# Edit .env with LLM API key
+
+# Python deps
+uv sync --directory hindsight-api-slim/
+
+# Node deps (uses npm workspaces)
+npm install
+```

 ## What is Hindsight?
 
-Hindsight is an agent memory system built to create smarter agents that learn over time. It eliminates the shortcomings of alternative techniques such as RAG and knowledge graph.
+Hindsight™ is an agent memory system built to create smarter agents that learn over time. Most agent memory systems focus on recalling conversation history. Hindsight is focused on making agents that learn, not just remember.
 
-Hindsight addresses common challenges that have frustrated AI engineers building agents to automate tasks and assist users with conversational interfaces. Many of these challenges stem directly from a lack of memory.
 
-- **Inconsistency:** Agents complete tasks successfully one time, then fail when asked to complete the same task again. Memory gives the agent a mechanism to remember what worked and what didn't and to use that information to reduce errors and improve consistency.
-- **Hallucinations:** Long term memory can be seeded with external knowledge to ground agent behavior in reliable sources to augment training data.
-- **Cognitive Overload:** As workflows get complex, retrievals, tool calls, user messages and agent responses can grow to fill the context window leading to context rot. Short term memory optimization allows agents to reduce tokens and focus context by removing irrelevant details.

-## How Hindsight Works
+It eliminates the shortcomings of alternative techniques such as RAG and knowledge graph and delivers state-of-the-art performance on long term memory tasks.
 
-![Overview](./hindsight-docs/static/img/hindsight-overview.webp)
+## Memory Performance & Accuracy
 
-Hindsight organizes memory into four networks to mimic the way human memory works:
+Hindsight is the most accurate agent memory system ever tested according to benchmark performance. It has achieved state-of-the-art performance on the LongMemEval benchmark, widely used to assess memory system performance across a variety of conversational AI scenarios. The current reported performance of Hindsight and other agent memory solutions as of January 2026 is shown here:
 
-- **World:** Facts about the world ("The stove gets hot")
-- **Experiences:** Agent's own experiences ("I touched the stove and it really hurt")
-- **Opinion:** Beliefs with confidence scores ("I shouldn't touch the stove again" - .99 confidence)
-- **Observation:** Complex mental models derived by reflecting on facts and experiences ("Curling irons, ovens, and fire are also hot. I shouldn't touch those either.")
+![Overview](./hindsight-docs/static/img/hindsight-bench.jpg)
 
-Hindsight provides three simple methods to interact with the system:
+The benchmark performance data for Hindsight has been independently reproduced by research collaborators at the Virginia Tech [Sanghani Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics](https://sanghani.cs.vt.edu/) and The Washington Post. Other scores are self-reported by software vendors.
 
-- **Retain:** Provide information to Hindsight that you want it to remember
-- **Recall:** Retrieve memories from Hindsight
-- **Reflect:** Reflect on memories and experiences to generate new observations and insights from existing memories.
+Hindsight is being used in production at Fortune 500 enterprises and by a growing number of AI startups. 
 
-Memories in Hindsight are stored in banks (e.g. memory banks). When memories are retained, they are transformed to construct a series of search indexes, time series data, and entity/relationship graphs.
+## Adding Hindsight to Your AI Agents
+
+The easiest way to use Hindsight with an existing agent is with the LLM Wrapper. You can add memory to your agent with 2 lines of code. That will swap your current LLM client out with the Hindsight wrapper. After that, memories will be stored and retrieved automatically as you make LLM calls.
+
+If you need more control over how and when your agent stores and recalls memories, there's also a simple API you can integrate with using the SDKs or directly via HTTP.

+Hindsight is built to support conversational AI agents as well as agents that are intended to perform tasks autonomously. The ideal use case for Hindsight are agents that require a blend of these features such as AI employees that need to handle open-ended tasks, change behavior based on user feedback, and learn to perform complex tasks to automate work at a level that approximates a human work. Hindsight can be used with simple AI workflows like those built with n8n and other similar tools, but may be overkill for such applications.
+
+### Per-User Memories and Chat History
+
+One of the simpler use cases you can use Hindsight for is to personalize AI chatbots and other conversational agents by storing and recalling memories associated with individual users.
+
+The requirements for this use case usually look something like this:
+
+![Per-User Memories](./hindsight-docs/static/img/per-user-memory-requirements.png)
+
+<video src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4805e8e1-e7d1-47c6-a4f8-2344a5ec8906" controls></video>
+
+Satisfying these requirements in Hindsight is straightforward. When new user inputs and tool calls are ingested into Hindsight using the retain operation, custom metadata can be used to enrich the new memories. Metadata provides a convenient way to isolate memories that need to be restricted to a given user. Once these are fed into the retain operation, any raw memories and mental models that get created can be filtered when retrieving relevant memories.

 ## Architecture & Operations
 
+![Overview](./hindsight-docs/static/img/hindsight-overview.webp)
+
+Most agent memory implementations rely on basic vector search or sometimes use a knowledge graph. Hindsight uses biomimetic data structures to organize agent memories in a way that is more like how human memory works:
+
+- **World:** Facts about the world ("The stove gets hot")
+- **Experiences:** Agent's own experiences ("I touched the stove and it really hurt")
+- **Mental Models:** Learned understanding of the agent's world formed by reflecting on raw memories and experiences.
+
+Memories in Hindsight are stored in banks (i.e. memory banks). When memories are added to Hindsight, they are pushed into either the world facts or experiences memory pathway. They are then represented as a combination of entities, relationships, and time series with sparse/dense vector representations to aid in later recall.
+
+Hindsight provides three simple methods to interact with the system:
+
+- **Retain:** Provide information to Hindsight that you want it to remember
+- **Recall:** Retrieve memories from Hindsight
+- **Reflect:** Reflect on memories and experiences to generate new observations and insights from existing memories.

 ### Reflect

+# Nginx Reverse Proxy with Custom Base Path
+
+Deploy Hindsight API under `/hindsight` (or any custom path) using Nginx reverse proxy.
+
+## Quick Start (Published Image - API Only)
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+- **API:** http://localhost:8080/hindsight/docs
+- **Control Plane:** http://localhost:9999 (direct access, not proxied)
+
+## Full Stack with Custom Base Path (Requires Build)
+
+**Important:** You cannot rebuild from the published image with build args. You must build from source.
+
+### Build from Source with Custom Base Path
+
+1. **Clone the repository** (if you haven't):
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/vectorize-io/hindsight.git
+cd hindsight
+```
+
+2. **Build with base path**:
+```bash
+docker build \
+  --build-arg NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH=/hindsight \
+  -f docker/standalone/Dockerfile \
+  -t hindsight:custom \
+  .
+```
+
+3. **Update docker-compose.yml** to use your built image:
+```yaml
+services:
+  hindsight:
+    image: hindsight:custom  # ← Change this
+    environment:
+      HINDSIGHT_API_BASE_PATH: /hindsight
+      NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH: /hindsight
+```
+
+4. **Update nginx.conf** to handle Control Plane routes (see below)
+
+5. **Run**:
+```bash
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+### Required nginx.conf for Full Stack
+
+Replace the current `nginx.conf` with this to proxy both API and Control Plane:
+
+```nginx
+events { worker_connections 1024; }
+
+http {
+    include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
+    default_type application/octet-stream;
+
+    upstream hindsight_api { server hindsight:8888; }
+    upstream hindsight_cp { server hindsight:9999; }
+
+    server {
+        listen 80;
+
+        # API
+        location ~ ^/hindsight/(docs|openapi\.json|health|metrics|v1|mcp) {
+            proxy_pass http://hindsight_api;
+            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
+        }
+
+        # Control Plane static files
+        location ~ ^/hindsight/_next/ {
+            proxy_pass http://hindsight_cp;
+            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
+        }
+
+        # Control Plane UI
+        location /hindsight {
+            proxy_pass http://hindsight_cp;
+            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
+        }
+
+        location = / { return 301 /hindsight; }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Why Build is Required
+
+Next.js requires `basePath` at **build time**. The published image was built without a custom base path, so you must rebuild from source with the `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH` build arg to deploy the Control Plane under a subpath.
+
+The API works without rebuild because `HINDSIGHT_API_BASE_PATH` is a runtime environment variable.

+#
+# This example deploys Hindsight API under the path /hindsight with:
+# - Hindsight standalone image (API + Control Plane + embedded pg0)
+# - Nginx reverse proxy (API only)
+#
+# Quick Start:
+#   docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose/nginx/docker-compose.yml up
+#
+# Access:
+#   API (via nginx):         http://localhost:8080/hindsight/docs
+#   Control Plane (direct):  http://localhost:9999
+#
+# For full stack deployment (API + Control Plane both under /hindsight):
+#   See README.md in this directory for instructions on building with basePath.
+#
+# Note: This configuration uses the published image (no build required).
+#       Control Plane is served directly because Next.js basePath requires
+#       build-time configuration. See README.md for the full stack option.

+# Hindsight with Timescale Extensions
+
+This Docker Compose setup provides a complete Hindsight deployment with **Timescale extensions**:
+- **pgvectorscale** - DiskANN algorithm for disk-based scalable vector search  
+- **pg_textsearch** - High-performance BM25 text search
+
+Both extensions are from [Timescale](https://github.com/timescale) and provide production-grade performance.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker and Docker Compose installed
+- OpenAI API key (or another LLM provider)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Set environment variables
+export HINDSIGHT_DB_PASSWORD="your-secure-password"
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key"
+
+# Build and start
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose/timescale/docker-compose.yaml up -d --build
+
+# Check logs
+
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose/timescale/docker-compose.yaml logs -f
+```
+
+**Access:**
+- API: http://localhost:8888
+- Control Plane: http://localhost:9999
+
+## Stop and Clean Up
+
+```bash
+# Stop services
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose/timescale/docker-compose.yaml down
+
+# Remove volumes (deletes all data)
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose/timescale/docker-compose.yaml down -v
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `HINDSIGHT_DB_PASSWORD` | PostgreSQL password | `hindsight_password` |
+| `HINDSIGHT_DB_USER` | PostgreSQL username | `hindsight_user` |
+| `HINDSIGHT_DB_NAME` | Database name | `hindsight_db` |
+| `HINDSIGHT_VERSION` | Hindsight Docker image version | `latest` |
+| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | OpenAI API key | (required) |
+| `HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER` | LLM provider | `openai` |
+
+### Why Timescale Extensions?
+
+**pgvectorscale (DiskANN):**
+- 28x lower p95 latency vs dedicated vector databases
+- 16x higher query throughput at 99% recall
+- 60-75% cost reduction (disk is cheaper than RAM)
+- Best for large datasets (10M+ vectors)
+
+**pg_textsearch (BM25):**
+- High-performance keyword retrieval
+- Native BM25 ranking algorithm
+- Optimized for full-text search
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Extensions not installed
+
+Check if extensions are available:
+
+```bash
+docker exec -it hindsight-db-timescale psql -U hindsight_user -d hindsight_db -c "\dx"
+```
+
+You should see:
+- `vector` (pgvector)
+- `vectorscale` (pgvectorscale/DiskANN)
+- `pg_textsearch` (BM25 search)
+
+### Build fails
+
+If the Docker build fails during pgvectorscale compilation:
+
+1. Ensure you have sufficient memory (recommended: 4GB+)
+2. Check Docker build logs for Rust compilation errors
+3. Try building with more resources: `docker compose build --no-cache --memory 4g`
+
+### Port conflicts
+
+If port 5438 is already in use, modify the `ports` section in docker-compose.yaml.

+# Docker Smoke Test Script
+#
+# Tests that a Hindsight Docker image starts correctly and becomes healthy.
+# Can be run locally or in CI pipelines.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   ./docker/test-image.sh <image> [target]
+#
+# Arguments:
+#   image   - Docker image to test (e.g., hindsight-api:test, ghcr.io/vectorize-io/hindsight:latest)
+#   target  - Optional: 'cp-only' for control plane, otherwise assumes API image (default: api)
+#
+# Environment variables:
+#   HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY                   - Required for API/standalone images (LLM verification)
+#   HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER                  - LLM provider (default: openai)
+#   HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_MODEL                     - LLM model (default: gpt-4o-mini)
+#   HINDSIGHT_API_EMBEDDINGS_PROVIDER           - Embeddings provider (optional, for slim images: openai, cohere, tei)
+#   HINDSIGHT_API_EMBEDDINGS_OPENAI_API_KEY     - OpenAI API key for embeddings (optional)
+#   HINDSIGHT_API_RERANKER_PROVIDER             - Reranker provider (optional, for slim images: cohere, tei)
+#   HINDSIGHT_API_COHERE_API_KEY                - Cohere API key for reranking (optional)
+#   SMOKE_TEST_TIMEOUT                          - Timeout in seconds (default: 120)
+#   SMOKE_TEST_CONTAINER_NAME                   - Container name (default: hindsight-smoke-test)
+#
+# Examples:

+# @vectorize-io/hindsight-all
+
+Node.js equivalent of the Python [`hindsight-all`](https://pypi.org/project/hindsight-all/) package — programmatic lifecycle manager for a local Hindsight daemon. Use this when you want to embed Hindsight in a Node application without hand-rolling subprocess management.
+
+This package deliberately does **not** ship an HTTP client. Once the daemon is running, talk to it with [`@vectorize-io/hindsight-client`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vectorize-io/hindsight-client) against `server.getBaseUrl()`. The two packages compose — one owns the daemon process, the other owns the HTTP API surface.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **Node.js >= 22** — uses global `fetch` and `AbortSignal.timeout`.
+- **`uv` / `uvx`** on `PATH` — used to download and run the underlying `hindsight-embed` daemon on first use. Install via <https://docs.astral.sh/uv/>.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install @vectorize-io/hindsight-all @vectorize-io/hindsight-client
+```
+
+## Example
+
+```ts
+import { HindsightServer, consoleLogger } from '@vectorize-io/hindsight-all';
+import { HindsightClient } from '@vectorize-io/hindsight-client';
+
+const server = new HindsightServer({
+  profile: 'my-app',
+  port: 9077,
+  env: {
+    HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER: 'anthropic',
+    HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
+    HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_MODEL: 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514',
+    HINDSIGHT_EMBED_DAEMON_IDLE_TIMEOUT: '0',
+  },
+  logger: consoleLogger,
+});
+
+await server.start();
+
+const client = new HindsightClient({ baseUrl: server.getBaseUrl() });
+
+await client.retain('user-123', 'User prefers dark mode and concise answers.', {
+  documentId: 'pref-2026-04-01',
+});
+
+const recall = await client.recall('user-123', 'what are the user preferences?');
+console.log(recall.results);
+
+await server.stop();
+```
+
+For a remote Hindsight API, skip `HindsightServer` entirely and just point `HindsightClient` at the remote URL.
+
+## Open config — forward-compatible with new daemon flags
+
+`HindsightServerOptions` is designed so every new environment variable or CLI flag in the underlying Hindsight daemon can be used without waiting for a wrapper release:
+
+- **`env`** accepts an arbitrary `Record<string, string>`. Every entry is exported into the daemon process and written into the profile config via `--env KEY=VALUE`.
+- **`extraProfileCreateArgs`** / **`extraDaemonStartArgs`** append raw args to the respective commands.
+
+## Development against a local checkout
+
+If you're hacking on the Python `hindsight-embed` package in the same monorepo, point the server at the local path — it'll use `uv run --directory <path>` instead of `uvx`:
+
+```ts
+new HindsightServer({
+  embedPackagePath: '/path/to/hindsight-embed',
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+## API surface
+
+- `HindsightServer` — daemon lifecycle (`start`, `stop`, `checkHealth`, `getBaseUrl`, `getProfile`).
+- `Logger` interface plus `silentLogger` (default) and `consoleLogger` helpers.
+- `getEmbedCommand(opts)` — low-level helper that returns the `[cmd, ...args]` tuple used to invoke the underlying Python CLI.
+
+For memory operations (retain, recall, reflect, bank management, stats) use [`@vectorize-io/hindsight-client`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vectorize-io/hindsight-client).

+# Hindsight API
+
+**Memory System for AI Agents** — Temporal + Semantic + Entity Memory Architecture using PostgreSQL with pgvector.
+
+Hindsight gives AI agents persistent memory that works like human memory: it stores facts, tracks entities and relationships, handles temporal reasoning ("what happened last spring?"), and forms opinions based on configurable disposition traits.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install hindsight-api
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Run the Server
+
+```bash
+# Set your LLM provider
+export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER=openai
+export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxx
+
+# Start the server (uses embedded PostgreSQL by default)
+hindsight-api
+```
+
+The server starts at http://localhost:8888 with:
+- REST API for memory operations
+- MCP server at `/mcp` for tool-use integration
+
+### Use the Python API
+
+```python
+from hindsight_api import MemoryEngine
+
+# Create and initialize the memory engine
+memory = MemoryEngine()
+await memory.initialize()
+
+# Create a memory bank for your agent
+bank = await memory.create_memory_bank(
+    name="my-assistant",
+    background="A helpful coding assistant"
+)
+
+# Store a memory
+await memory.retain(
+    memory_bank_id=bank.id,
+    content="The user prefers Python for data science projects"
+)
+
+# Recall memories
+results = await memory.recall(
+    memory_bank_id=bank.id,
+    query="What programming language does the user prefer?"
+)
+
+# Reflect with reasoning
+response = await memory.reflect(
+    memory_bank_id=bank.id,
+    query="Should I recommend Python or R for this ML project?"
+)
+```
+
+## CLI Options
+
+```bash
+hindsight-api --help
+
+# Common options
+hindsight-api --port 9000          # Custom port (default: 8888)
+hindsight-api --host 127.0.0.1     # Bind to localhost only
+hindsight-api --workers 4          # Multiple worker processes
+hindsight-api --log-level debug    # Verbose logging
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configure via environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `HINDSIGHT_API_DATABASE_URL` | PostgreSQL connection string | `pg0` (embedded) |
+| `HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER` | `openai`, `anthropic`, `gemini`, `groq`, `ollama`, `lmstudio` | `openai` |
+| `HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY` | API key for LLM provider | - |
+| `HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_MODEL` | Model name | `gpt-4o-mini` |
+| `HINDSIGHT_API_HOST` | Server bind address | `0.0.0.0` |
+| `HINDSIGHT_API_PORT` | Server port | `8888` |
+
+### Example with External PostgreSQL
+
+```bash
+export HINDSIGHT_API_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/hindsight
+export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER=groq
+export HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY=gsk_xxxxxxxxxxxx
+
+hindsight-api
+```
+
+## Docker
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it -p 8888:8888 \
+  -e HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY \
+  -v $HOME/.hindsight-docker:/home/hindsight/.pg0 \
+  ghcr.io/vectorize-io/hindsight:latest
+```
+
+## MCP Server
+
+For local MCP integration without running the full API server:
+
+```bash
+hindsight-local-mcp
+```
+
+This runs a stdio-based MCP server that can be used directly with MCP-compatible clients.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Multi-Strategy Retrieval (TEMPR)** — Semantic, keyword, graph, and temporal search combined with RRF fusion
+- **Entity Graph** — Automatic entity extraction and relationship tracking
+- **Temporal Reasoning** — Native support for time-based queries
+- **Disposition Traits** — Configurable skepticism, literalism, and empathy influence opinion formation
+- **Three Memory Types** — World facts, bank actions, and formed opinions with confidence scores
+
+## Documentation
