fix(hindsight): add local_embedded mode and full local-mode fields to config schema#84586blut-agent wants to merge 6 commits into
Conversation
… config schema The desktop Memory & context panel was only showing 'cloud' and 'local_external' modes, so Hindsight instances in 'local_embedded' mode displayed incorrect cloud defaults (wrong API URL, missing LLM fields, wrong API key env var). - Add 'local_embedded' to the mode select options - Add all local-mode fields: llm_provider, llm_base_url, llm_model, llm_api_key, idle_timeout, port_health_grace_timeout - Add shared fields from the wizard schema - Add conditional visibility via the 'when' attribute on fields so local-mode fields only appear when mode=local_embedded - Add _read_field_dep() helper and conditional visibility filter in _declared_provider_payload() - Add 'when' attribute to ProviderField dataclass Fixes NousResearch#84572.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for tackling #84572. I traced this patch through the declared-schema GET/PUT path and the current Desktop autosave renderer. There are several correctness issues to address before this is safe to merge:
-
Fresh/default configs lose their cloud fields.
_read_field_dep()only reads stored data. Whenmodeis absent, the Mode field correctly renders its declared default (cloud), but everywhen={"mode": "cloud"}field seesNoneand is omitted. This regresses the existing safe-default contract: a fresh Hindsight panel would show Cloud without its URL/key fields. Predicate resolution needs to use the dependency field's declared default (and its aliases/env fallbacks), not raw storage alone. -
Multi-key predicates are not evaluated. Both helpers use
next(iter(...)), sowhen={"mode": "local_embedded", "llm_provider": "openai_compatible"}checks onlymode. The endpoint field will therefore appear for every embedded provider. All predicate pairs need to be checked. -
Server-side omission does not react to the current Desktop autosave flow. The inline Mode select saves one key without refreshing
config.fields(the panel intentionally avoids a refresh to preserve sibling drafts). Switching Cloud ↔ Local External leaves the old mode's controls rendered until the panel is reopened/reloaded. Either the renderer needs the condition metadata and must evaluate it against current drafts, or dependency commits need a carefully designed refresh/reseed path. -
This crosses the intentional setup boundary. Commit
03d9a95a74and the current Hindsight schema test explicitly keeplocal_embeddedunselectable in Desktop because setup owns dependency installation. The declared PUT path only writes config and activates the provider; it does not installhindsight-all. Making this option selectable can create a configured-but-unavailable provider. Existing embedded values should be displayed honestly, but selecting the mode should remain setup-owned unless this is routed through the setup workflow. -
The schema/test contract is currently broken. The existing Hindsight schema tests assert the exact field set, that all fields are inline, and that
local_embeddedis not writable; this PR does not update or replace them with behavior coverage. It also declares duplicateapi_url/api_keykeys even though the generic renderer and seed maps assume stable unique field keys. -
Two smaller drift/lint issues:
timeoutis declared as 30 while the runtime/wizard default is_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT = 120;KIND_JSONis imported but unused, which Ruff should reject.
A narrower approach would preserve an unsupported stored select value as a disabled/read-only option, add the four embedded LLM fields to Full config, keep the Mode write allow-list at Cloud/Local External, and cover the actual declared GET/PUT plus Desktop select behavior. That fixes the misleading display without adding a generic condition system or bypassing setup.

I completed and validated the narrower implementation described in my review. Since this connected account cannot push to the upstream repository or the PR head fork, here is the exact apply-ready patch so the working fix is not blocked on my local checkout. Validation:

fix(hindsight): add local_embedded mode and full local-mode fields to config schema

Thanks for the review — addressing each point:

Problem
The desktop Memory & context panel for Hindsight (issue #84572) only declares
cloudandlocal_externalmodes, so Hindsight instances configured inlocal_embeddedmode display incorrect cloud defaults:local_embeddedvalue)This happens because the wizard schema (used by
hermes memory setup) declares all three modes plus local-mode fields, but the desktop'sconfig_schema.pyonly knows about cloud and local_external.Fix
Update
plugins/memory/hindsight/config_schema.pyto mirror the wizard's full schema:local_embeddedto the mode select optionswhen={"mode": "cloud"}for visibilitywhen={"mode": "local_external"}Also implement the underlying conditional visibility infrastructure:
ProviderField: newwhen: dict[str, str] | None = Noneattribute_read_field_dep(): helper to read dependency values from stored config_declared_provider_payload(): skips fields whosewhenpredicate is not metThis makes the desktop panel faithfully reflect whatever mode the wizard configured.
Test Plan
