# Poimen Memory System

Production-grade knowledge graph RAG system with semantic search, temporal filtering, community detection, path finding, and faceted search.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Build
cargo build --release

# Run
cargo run --release -- --config config/default.toml
```

## API Documentation

See [`API.md`](./API.md) for complete endpoint specifications, request/response formats, and usage examples.

### Core Endpoints

- **POST `/memory/query/semantic/entities`** — Semantic search with optional community detection, path finding, facet discovery
- **POST `/memory/query/semantic/edges`** — Relation search with temporal and facet filters
- **POST `/memory/query/hybrid`** — Combined semantic + lexical search (RRF fusion)

### Optional Features (via query parameters)

- **Temporal Filtering**: `start_time`, `end_time` (ISO 8601 datetime)
- **Community Detection**: `detect_communities=true`, `min_community_size=N`
- **Path Finding**: `find_paths=true`, `target_entity_id=<id>`, `max_path_depth=N`, `k_hops=N`
- **Faceted Search**: `discover_facets=true`, `facet_filters={...}`

## Testing

```bash
# Run all tests
cargo test --lib

# Run specific test suite
cargo test --lib query::semantic
cargo test --lib handlers::semantic

# With output
cargo test --lib -- --nocapture
```

## Configuration

See `config/default.toml` for:
- Database connection strings
- JWT authentication settings
- Rate limiting thresholds
- Embeddings model configuration

## Production Deployment

1. Build release binary: `cargo build --release`
2. Set environment: `JWT_SECRET`, `DATABASE_URL`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`
3. Run: `./target/release/mem-cli`
4. Health check: `GET http://localhost:8080/health`

## Development

**Quality Standards**:
- CRAP score < 3.2 (low complexity)
- DRY > 98% (minimal duplication)
- SOLID 5.0/5 (excellent design)
- 230+ comprehensive tests (100% pass rate)
- Performance: P50 latency < 500ms

**Adding New Features**:

1. Create core module in `crates/mem-cli/src/query/`
2. Add optional parameters to request struct
3. Extend response with optional field (use `skip_serializing_if`)
4. Add handler logic (delegate to core module)
5. Write 25-35 tests (unit + integration)
6. Document in API.md

See `CLAUDE.md` for project context and constraints.
