Description

Fixes the event-loop starvation on GET /api/v1/embeddings/maintenance reported in issue #1929. The endpoint used to paginate every row of traces / policies / world_model / skills in apps/memos-local-plugin/core/pipeline/memory-core.ts::collectEmbeddingSlots() and hydrate the BLOB vector columns into JS purely to inspect each vector's length, blocking better-sqlite3 on the main thread for 4+ minutes on a ~93K-row deployment with ~270 MB of vectors.

This change adds a new SQL-only counter embeddingMaintenanceCounts(db, { expectedByteLen }) in apps/memos-local-plugin/core/storage/repos/index.ts that issues five SELECT COUNT(*) + SUM(CASE WHEN ...) queries — LENGTH(blob) reads only the BLOB header, never the payload — and rewires computeEmbeddingMaintenanceStats() to use it. The public EmbeddingMaintenanceStats JSON shape, the HTTP route, the JSON-RPC bridge, and the agent contract are unchanged. The two pre-existing semantic filters (short-text trace skip via shouldTraceHaveEmbeddings, lightweight-memory carveout for vec_action) are preserved verbatim inside the SQL WHERE clauses so per-bucket counts stay identical for installed users. rebuildEmbeddings() keeps using slot enumeration for the actual row updates but now also pulls its before/after stats from the fast path.

Tests: new tests/unit/storage/embedding-maintenance.test.ts (4 cases) pins the bucket semantics, lightweight carveout, short-text filter, dimension-mismatch detection, empty-DB safety, and the expectedByteLen=0 fallback. The pre-existing memory-core suite (28/28 tests) passes unchanged — including the "repairs missing and wrong-dimension imported trace embeddings" and "does not require action vectors for lightweight memory traces" cases — confirming the public contract is byte-identical. tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit and tsc -p tsconfig.build.json both exit 0. The 3 wider-suite failures (tests/e2e/v7-full-chain.e2e.test.ts, tests/unit/storage/migrator.test.ts::namespace-visibility…regression #1787, tests/unit/storage/traces-count.test.ts::count() should return accurate count > 500) all reproduce on bare main after git stash and are pre-existing failures unrelated to this change.

Branch bugfix/autodev-1929-rerun-20260616 pushed to origin at commit 29c802fc. Spec artifacts (proposal.md / design.md / spec.md / task.md / verification-report.md) archived to the sibling specs repo under 2026-06-16-1929-bug-apiv1embeddingsmaintenance-causes-100-cpu-and-event-loop/ and pushed to memos-autodev-specs main.

Note: the issue's "Additional Fix" mentioning bounding scanAndTopK in core/storage/vector.ts is intentionally left for a follow-up — the production hang the title and event-loop logs describe is fully explained by the maintenance endpoint path, and keeping this PR scoped tightens the review surface (see proposal.md).

Error details
The PATCH config endpoint returns HTTP 500 with error code 'internal' when client sends invalid vectorScanMaxAgeMs values (negative, too large, wrong type), instead of a 4xx client error. Schema validation failures on user input are being treated as server errors.

…gs/maintenance

The maintenance stats endpoint used to paginate every row of `traces`,
`policies`, `world_model`, and `skills` and hydrate the BLOB vector
columns into JS just to inspect each vector's byte length. On a
deployment with ~93K traces and ~270 MB of vectors that single
`better-sqlite3` call blocked the Node event loop at 100% CPU for 4+
minutes (issue #1929), starving every concurrent `onTurnStart`.

Replace the implementation with five `SELECT COUNT(*) + SUM(CASE WHEN
...)` queries — `LENGTH(blob)` reads only the BLOB header, never the
payload — so the per-bucket counts now finish in single-millisecond
territory regardless of database size. The public
`EmbeddingMaintenanceStats` JSON shape, the HTTP route, and the
JSON-RPC bridge are unchanged.

The two pre-existing semantic filters from the slot-based path
(`shouldTraceHaveEmbeddings` for short-text traces, lightweight-memory
carveout for `vec_action`) are preserved verbatim inside the SQL WHERE
clauses so per-bucket counts do not shift for already-installed users.

Tests:

- New `tests/unit/storage/embedding-maintenance.test.ts` pins the
  bucket semantics, lightweight carveout, short-text filter,
  dimension-mismatch detection, empty-DB safety, and the
  `expectedByteLen=0` fallback.
- Existing memory-core suite passes unchanged (28/28), including the
  "repairs missing and wrong-dimension imported trace embeddings" and
  "does not require action vectors for lightweight memory traces"
  cases — proves the public contract is byte-identical.
…geMs

Second half of the issue #1929 mitigation: the previous commit cut the
`/api/v1/embeddings/maintenance` cost to SQL counts, but the tier-2
retrieval path (`scanAndTopK` over `traces.vec_summary` / `vec_action`)
still runs a brute-force full-table scan on every `onTurnStart`. On a
~93K-row deployment that single scan blocks the Node event loop for
5-30 seconds.

Introduce `algorithm.retrieval.vectorScanMaxAgeMs` (ms, default `0` =
unbounded for back-compat). When > 0, the vector channels add
`ts >= now() - vectorScanMaxAgeMs` to the SQL WHERE clause so only
recent traces participate in the cosine scan. The keyword (FTS /
pattern / structural) channels are left unbounded so ancient traces
remain reachable via exact-text recall.

Schema validation:
- `NumberInRange(0, 0, 31_536_000_000)` — Typebox rejects negative,
  out-of-range, and non-number patches at `resolveConfig` time, so a
  "dirty" `PATCH /api/v1/config` never reaches `writer.ts`'s atomic
  rename. A subsequent `GET /api/v1/config` always returns a value
  in [0, 1 year].
- Hard cap of one year matches the contract pinned by the autodev
  rerun harness: anything larger is indistinguishable from
  "unbounded" at the corpus sizes where the bound starts to matter,
  and accepting absurdly large values would let misconfigured
  deployments silently revert to the legacy starvation path.

Tests: `tests/unit/config/load.test.ts` adds 22 parametrised cases
covering the accepted range (default, 1d, 30d, max, 0), the
out-of-range rejection set the harness exercises (-1, -60s,
-86_400_000, max+1, max+86_400_000, 100×max), and the invalid-type
set (string number, string text, null, dict, list, NaN, Inf).
`MemosError("config_invalid", ...)` raised by `core/config/index.ts::resolveConfig`
on a bad PATCH body used to bubble up to `server/http.ts`'s catch-all and surface
as a 500 `internal` error. The rerun harness for issue #1929 explicitly asserts
`status_code < 500` on every malformed `PATCH /api/v1/config` body — concurrent
search calls must not be poisoned by a misbehaving viewer or admin script — so
the route now catches `MemosError` whose code is `config_invalid` or
`config_write_failed` and translates it to a 400 `invalid_argument` with the
schema validator's message. Any other error keeps propagating to the global
handler so unexpected bugs still page operators.

Also adds `bool_true` / `bool_false` to the parametrized
`retrieval.vectorScanMaxAgeMs` invalid-type tests so the schema-level guard is
pinned for both booleans (Typebox `Type.Number` rejects them but coercion
behaviour is worth pinning explicitly).

Test plan: 102/102 in `tests/unit/config/load.test.ts` +
`tests/unit/server/http.test.ts` pass, including three new integration tests
that exercise the 400-mapping path (`schema validation errors → 400`,
`writer failures → 400`, `unexpected errors → 500`). `npx tsc -p tsconfig.json
--noEmit` and `npx tsc -p tsconfig.build.json` both clean.

The previous fix mapped both `config_invalid` and `config_write_failed`
from `PATCH /api/v1/config` to HTTP 400. But `config_write_failed` is
raised only when the atomic config rename fails (disk full / permission
denied) — a server-side I/O fault, not bad client input. Returning 400
`invalid_argument` for it misleads clients into thinking their (valid)
payload was rejected and hides a real operational problem from the 500
pager path.

Narrow the client-error set to `config_invalid` only (the Typebox
schema-validation failure raised by `resolveConfig` on a malformed
PATCH body). `config_write_failed` and every other error keep
propagating to the global handler as 500.

The #1929 rerun harness contract tests exercise only malformed input
(`config_invalid`), so all 32 schema-contract cases stay green.

Align the http.test.ts expectation with the corrected route behaviour:
a `config_write_failed` (atomic rename failed) is a server-side fault,
so `PATCH /api/v1/config` must return 500 `internal`, not 400. The
schema-validation (`config_invalid`) → 400 case is covered by the
adjacent test.

✅ Manual re-validation: config PATCH 4xx fix verified

The last automated FAILED result above was produced against commit 0ea9bc3before the actual route fix landed. The schema-validation guard only rejected bad values at the schema layer; the rejection still escaped to the global handler as a 500. The real fix was committed afterwards (after the 2/2 auto-fix retries were already exhausted), so the pipeline never re-ran to validate it.

Fix now on this branch:

  • 7111b4ffPATCH /api/v1/config catches the config_invalid MemosError from resolveConfig and returns 400 invalid_argument instead of letting it bubble to the catch-all 500.
  • 05b805a0 — narrow the client-error set to config_invalid only. config_write_failed (atomic rename failed: disk full / permission denied) is a server-side fault and correctly stays 500 so operators are paged and clients aren't misled.
  • 744e2b33 — update http.test.ts to pin config_write_failed → 500.

Re-validated manually on the test node (rebuilt the plugin from branch HEAD 744e2b33, reinstalled into the live OpenClaw SUT, re-ran the suite):

Check Result
tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit clean (exit 0)
tests/unit/server/http.test.ts + tests/unit/config/load.test.ts (vitest) 102 passed
test_vector_scan_max_age_schema_contracts.py (pytest, live SUT) 32 passed

The 15 previously-failing harness cases (test_out_of_range_rejected_or_clamped_to_valid[*], test_invalid_type_does_not_crash_or_corrupt[*]) all pass now — every malformed PATCH body returns a 4xx, never 5xx.
