feat: lossless by default — durable redaction and cloud-embedding privacy are independent, both optional - #374
Conversation
…ing privacy Owner product ruling (2026-08-26): the brand is LOSSLESS. The durable store is never mutated unless the operator explicitly opts in — but the v0.23.1 design forced sensitive_patterns_enabled=True for any cloud embedding provider, and that one flag also drives durable redaction, so every cloud user silently lost losslessness. Split: - sensitive_patterns_enabled (default False, opt-in forever) now controls ONLY durable redaction at ingest. - NEW embedding_privacy_enabled (LCM_EMBEDDING_PRIVACY_ENABLED; default None = auto-ON for providers the privacy predicate marks as cloud) controls ONLY provider-bound copies: protect_embedding_text, dispatch validation, and the recall/grep/proactive query transform. - Explicit opt-out (False): raw text flows to the provider by the operator's choice — no policy errors anywhere — and the vector identity binds revision 'privacy:off', so toggling re-embeds cleanly. - The transform uses the configured pattern catalog independently of the durable flag; unknown-pattern/empty-catalog still raise when ON. - Harness follows: cloud benchmark runs now measure the lossless corpus (raw durable + protected embedding copies) — the flagship default. - Docs: config reference + the lossless guarantee statement. 270 privacy/recall/harness tests green; every caller of the old sensitive_patterns-based cloud gate audited (remaining reads are durable/diagnostic only). Implemented by codex per SPEC-LOSSLESS-SPLIT; brand semantics verified by an independent probe.

WalkthroughCloud embedding privacy is now independent from durable sensitive-pattern redaction. Known cloud providers protect provider-bound copies by default. ChangesEmbedding privacy behavior
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change separates durable redaction from privacy applied to cloud-bound copies, but some documentation is inconsistent and invalid privacy catalogs can be reported as active even though cloud retrieval fails, making the outage harder to diagnose. This is a bounded low-risk issue that is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Maintainer Analysis
Changed behavior:
- Durable sensitive-pattern redaction remains opt-in, while known cloud embedding providers now protect provider-bound copies automatically.
- LCM_EMBEDDING_PRIVACY_ENABLED=false explicitly permits raw cloud embedding input under the distinct privacy:off vector revision.
- Local embedding providers continue receiving unchanged input.
- The benchmark harness now preserves raw durable corpus and FTS content while applying privacy only to cloud-bound embedding copies.
Affected invariants:
- Durable messages, FTS rows, summaries, and payloads remain lossless unless durable redaction is explicitly enabled.
- Cloud privacy posture is bound to vector identity so protected and privacy:off vectors are not silently mixed.
- Provider-bound privacy transformations do not mutate durable stored content.
- Local-provider embedding input remains byte-identical.
Evidence:
- config.py adds the independent optional embedding_privacy_enabled setting and environment mapping.
- ingest_protection.py separates privacy revision and dispatch behavior from sensitive_patterns_enabled and distinguishes privacy:off.
- tests/test_embedding_privacy.py covers raw durable storage, protected cloud copies, explicit opt-out, identity separation, and unchanged local-provider input.
- tests/test_lcm_recall.py covers protected cloud queries with durable redaction disabled and raw queries under explicit opt-out.
- tests/test_longmemeval_harness.py verifies that cloud embedding operation leaves the FTS corpus raw.
Limitations:
- Review was limited to the supplied checkout diff and context.
- No tests, builds, package scripts, app commands, shell commands, or arbitrary PR code were executed.
- Remote CI state and behavior outside the shown source context were not independently verified.
No-finding rationale: The diff consistently separates durable redaction from provider-copy privacy, fail-closes automatic cloud privacy when the configured catalog is invalid, uses a distinct identity for explicit opt-out, and adds focused tests for the highest-risk storage, dispatch, recall, and vector-identity paths. No concrete correctness, security, data-loss, CI, release, or high-signal test defect was validated from the permitted evidence.

…lags Review findings: two stale lines still described the pre-split coupling (cloud requires sensitive patterns; disabled policy blocks dispatch). Both now state the real semantics: embedding privacy on-by-default for cloud with the privacy:off opt-out, durable redaction separate and opt-in, lossless durable store by default.

Maintainer Analysis
Changed behavior:
- Cloud embedding privacy is decoupled from durable sensitive-pattern redaction and automatically enabled for recognized cloud providers.
- An explicit LCM_EMBEDDING_PRIVACY_ENABLED=false setting sends raw provider input under the distinct privacy:off vector identity.
- Durable messages and FTS content remain raw by default while provider-bound cloud copies are transformed.
- Benchmark configuration now exercises lossless durable storage with automatic provider-copy privacy.
Affected invariants:
- Cloud privacy posture remains bound to vector identity, preventing protected and raw vectors from sharing an identity.
- Recognized cloud providers still fail closed for invalid active privacy catalogs unless privacy is explicitly disabled.
- Local embedding-provider document input remains unchanged.
- Durable redaction remains an explicit, irreversible opt-in.
Evidence:
- config.py adds the nullable embedding_privacy_enabled configuration and environment mapping.
- ingest_protection.py assigns privacy:off to explicit opt-out and bypasses transformation only for that revision.
- tests/test_embedding_privacy.py covers default cloud protection, raw opt-out, identity separation, durable raw storage, and local-provider pass-through.
- tests/test_lcm_recall.py covers protected cloud queries with durable redaction disabled and explicit raw-query opt-out.
- tests/test_longmemeval_harness.py verifies cloud embedding operation leaves the FTS corpus raw.
Limitations:
- Review was limited to the supplied diff; no shell commands, tests, builds, package scripts, or PR code were executed.
- Unchanged call sites and runtime behavior outside the shown context were not independently inspected.
No-finding rationale: The changed implementation and focused tests consistently bind protected and explicit-raw cloud postures to different revisions, preserve durable losslessness by default, and retain fail-closed catalog validation for the protected posture. No concrete right-side defect or missing gate-critical regression test was validated from the supplied diff.

…resolution The lossless split escalated #371 from marginal to a default-path leak: rerank snippets now come from the RAW durable store, so data protected on the embedding path disclosed via the rerank request. _lcm_recall_rerank now protects the query and every hit snippet with the provider-copy transform when the embedding-privacy resolution is ON (ranking indices map back to the original hits — only what leaves the machine is transformed); the explicit opt-out keeps raw payloads by choice, and transient rerank failures keep the skip-to-RRF contract. Policy errors propagate per #370 semantics. 189 tests green. Implemented by codex per SPEC-RERANK-PRIVACY; verified by my own run.
…d payloads The product now protects rerank payloads under the embedding-privacy resolution, so production parity flips direction: rerank_sessions_voyage protects the query and each session-summary document with the provider-copy transform when the caller supplies the active privacy context (evaluate_question passes its config + summary revision); ordering still applies to the original sessions. 272 tests green.

covering recall, grep, proactive-query, and rerank payloads.

- Around line 300-305: The README embedding privacy guidance should require a
nonempty sensitive-pattern catalog containing only supported pattern names,

the existing opt-out and raw-text consent requirements.
- Around line 496-504: Update the policy statements in README.md lines 496-504

All findings dispositioned: code gates fully passed across three deep review rounds; the harness-rerank escape and three doc minors fixed with regressions; 4 threads terminally resolved; receipt-validated gate PASS at the exact head. Dismissing the stale request-changes state to reflect that record.

Merge receipt (admin path, standing pre-stable grant). Composite barrier satisfied at exact head: receipt-validated gate PASS (acceptance 97 / adversarial 99, digests bound); full CI green; three deep review rounds (final PASS 99/0) + brand-semantics probe; #346 amendment of record implemented; #371 closes with this merge (rerank protected in product AND harness). Lossless is now the shipped default: durable store untouched unless opted in; provider-bound copies protected for cloud with the explicit privacy:off opt-out. Only unmet ruleset condition = the solo-repo approval count (#369 FIX3). |
…reconciliation docs+gauntlet: post-#374 lossless reconciliation + v0.23.2-rc1 notes
1 participant
Owner product ruling: the brand is lossless. Durable storage is never mutated by default; cloud-outbound privacy protects provider-bound copies only, on by default for cloud providers, explicitly opt-out-able (
LCM_EMBEDDING_PRIVACY_ENABLED=false→ revisionprivacy:off, clean re-embed on toggle).Before this PR, configuring a cloud embedding provider force-enabled
sensitive_patterns_enabled, which also scrubbed the durable store — every cloud user silently lost losslessness. Now the two are independent flags; durable scrubbing stays opt-in forever.Rides v0.23.2-rc1 so the release gauntlet measures the real semantics (Phase-A cloud posture = lossless durable + protected embedding copies).
Review trail: codex-authored per SPEC-LOSSLESS-SPLIT, Claude line-review + independent semantic probe (durable-raw/protected-copy/opt-out-revision all verified). Two-lane receipts to follow.
