# llm-ingestion-okf ## Context Shared OKF (Open Knowledge Format) ingestion library. Three entry doors, one boundary rule: - **Door A — spec-based ingestion:** implements the normative `ingest-spec.md` owned by `portfolio-optimiser-commons` (manifest → `file`/`sql`/`http` connector → deterministic materialization of `ingest-{id}.md` → index generation; zero model calls). This repo IMPLEMENTS the spec; commons keeps authorship. Spec changes the library needs go via commons, never edited locally. The library ships the §11 golden fixtures (byte-exact) for the three door-A source types (`ingest-golden-{file,sql,http}/`, shipped in `9dd86b1`). - **Door B — bundle inbox:** converts dropped files to OKF concepts. The drop directory is walked RECURSIVELY, sorted by relative path, and a concept's `source_file` is that relative path (`/`-separated) while its NAME still comes from the basename — so a nested duplicate hits the §3 collision refusal rather than vanishing. Dot-directories and a bundle nested inside the inbox are skipped with a code, never silently, because recursion makes the door's own output reachable as its own input (operator 2026-09-06; the flat listing was not a boundary, it was an absence with no denominator). All file-type→text extraction lives HERE (the guard is text-only). v1 core: `md`, `txt`, `csv`, `json`, `html` (stdlib). `pdf`/`docx`/`xlsx` only via the optional `[extract]` extra; without it those types are rejected fail-fast. The extra ships `pdfplumber` for `pdf` (chosen on ONE measured property: it keeps a requirement table's label and value on the same line where three alternatives do not); `docx`/`xlsx` still ship no parser. Structured table recovery is **out of scope** — two independent parsers return the same wrong shape, so the breakage is document geometry, not a library choice. PDFs enter as prose, and drawn content (figures) does not survive extraction at all, which every `pdf` extraction warns about. Under the `STRUCTURED_V1` profile Door B additionally DERIVES structure — title (leading heading → `title` key → `path.stem`), document number, hierarchy, and cross-references — writes it into the concept frontmatter, and projects it into a faceted index entry. Every inferred field is named in a `derived` list; an unmarked heuristic is worse than none. Under the SEGMENTED v0.2 profile a concept additionally POINTS BACK at the original: `sources: [{ resource, title }]` in SPEC §5.1's form (`resource` is the inbox-relative path), plus a locator per format — `source_pages`, `source_sheet`+`source_rows`, else `source_lines`. The locator keys are OURS and must stay top-level: §5.1 has no field for a place within a resource, and the pinned guard rejects every route to putting one inside a `sources` entry (non-allowlisted key, nested flow list, quoted scalar), so a locator in the entry would emit bundles Door C could never read back. The unit table is built AT EXTRACTION — a page number cannot be recovered from joined text — and `source_offset` stays. `source_lines` indexes the EXTRACTED text, never the original's paragraphs: measured, docx `` counts and converted-line counts do not agree on a single one of five documents. Record: `docs/2026-09-08-proveniens-k2.md`. The index is a PROJECTION recomputed from the whole bundle each round, which is what makes rebuild-from-scratch equal an incremental update byte for byte. `DEFAULT` is untouched and byte-identical. Record: `docs/plan/structure-derivation.md`. - **Door C — external bundle import:** third-party OKF bundles are assessed per concept via the guard's `okf.import_bundle`; only concepts clearing the guard's non-blocking floor are merged/indexed here. Two invariants, both load-bearing: a merged concept is written **verbatim** (this library's line-oriented frontmatter parser cannot round-trip the block lists the guard's parser accepts, so stamping an external concept would destroy sender data and persist bytes the guard never screened), and ownership is therefore proven by **content identity** — an occupied target name is re-used only when the bytes there are already identical, never overwritten otherwise. **Boundary rule (non-negotiable, zero overlap):** `llm-ingestion-guard` (pinned `>=1.2,<2.0`) answers "is this content safe to persist?" — scan/sanitize/quarantine/fail-secure/provenance-stamp. This library is plumbing: connect source → materialize deterministic OKF bundle → generate index. Never reimplement security; call the guard at persist gates (`prepare_input`/`screen_output`, `okf.import_bundle`). When in doubt which side of the boundary something belongs on: ask the operator. **Implementation baseline:** the stricter behaviors from `portfolio-optimiser` (streaming row caps, utf-8-sig, in-memory staging with pre-mutation collision gate, validated `ingested_at`, typed `IngestError`) are the library baseline. First consumer: `portfolio-optimiser-claude`. ### Roadmap (phases 1–3 shipped; what follows is demand-driven) 1. **Phase 1 — Door A (Python).** ingest-spec implementation + the §11 golden fixtures. Consumers: `portfolio-optimiser-claude` first, then `portfolio-optimiser`. 2. **Phase 2 — Doors B/C (Python).** Bundle inbox and external-bundle import, guard-gated. 3. **Phase 3 — Configurable bundle contract.** Types, layers, frontmatter sets, index shape, and reserved-file policy become config instead of constants; proving consumer is `claude-code-llm-wiki` (`strict-v1` profile). Two consumers hold opposite postures on whether an index is authored or directory-derived, so neither is a library invariant and nothing here enumerates a directory unless the profile says derived. 4. **Phase 4 — Node half (`node/`).** Zero-dependency Node/ESM package (importable *and* CLI-invokable, vendorable per plugin — matching the marketplace precedent) for the second-brain world: bundle check, index generation, inbox split/frontmatter/write, and doc conversion (docx/pdf/eml/html → md). Covers okr, linkedin-studio, ms-ai-architect, and the marketplace catalog. 5. **Phase 5 — MCP as a way to populate a bundle. NOT COMMITTED; needs-based (operator 2026-08-02, superseding the 2026-07-27 commitment.)** No MCP work, and no data-lake or database source types, are undertaken without a stated need. `docs/plan/mcp-bundle-population.md` stays as a design record, not a queue. Its open fork — whether we are the MCP **server** (an agent calls our doors as tools) or an MCP **client** (a manifest source type pulling from someone else's server) — no longer blocks anything, because nothing waits behind it. It is a question to answer *if* a need arrives, not before. This is also why `sql` staying sqlite-only is not a gap: a Postgres driver would be runtime dependency number two, bought for no asked-for use. The two halves share the OKF contract and fixture suite, **not code**. **Standing posture (operator 2026-08-02).** Phases 1–3 shipped; the library now runs on what it has. Work is defect fixes, improvements, and features that a consumer has actually asked for or that measured feedback shows are needed — not roadmap completion for its own sake. The upstream version policy below is the one exception, and it is not a counterexample: "always latest" is a promise already made to consumers, so an upstream release *is* the stated need. Phase 4 keeps four named consumers with working implementations to lift, so its need is real but untriggered — it starts when one of them asks, not on a date. ### Upstream version policy (standing, non-negotiable) **The library always supports the current latest version of Google OKF.** Set by the operator 2026-07-26. Phases 1–3 were built against v0.1; v0.2 shipped 2026-07-25, so v0.2 support is committed work — not contingent on a consumer asking for it. Plan: `docs/plan/okf-v0.2-alignment.md`. Support is **additive, expressed as a new profile**, never a migration of existing ones. This is what makes the policy sustainable instead of a recurring crisis, and it is bounded by three facts that do not yield to it: - `DEFAULT` states commons' ingest-spec §5 layer — its `generated` shape is commons' call, raised there, never patched locally. **This fired 2026-08-09:** commons ratified and executed the O2 form, so `DEFAULT` now stamps `generated: { by: process:okf-ingest, at: }` and four goldens moved with it. It is not a counterexample to "additive, never a migration" — that rule governs *upstream* versions, and commons' spec is a separate axis `DEFAULT` tracks by definition. `DEFAULT` stays v0.1 on everything upstream owns. Ownership recognition is one-way, so the cost to a consumer stays a re-run: a profile carrying an actor still owns the older literal stamp. - `STRICT_V1` mirrors the proving consumer's ratified contract — changing another repo's contract from here violates O2. - `okf_version`'s *value* belongs to catalog (decision E1). **Rollout is pilot-first.** A new upstream version reaches a small pilot set on a pre-release tag and is revised on their feedback before general availability — consumers testing real data find what fixtures cannot. `OKF_LATEST` means the latest version supported as *stable*, so flipping that alias is the GA event, not a merge side effect. Two invariants fall out: no profile hard-codes an upstream version, and no bundle declares a version its shape has not earned. The first has a mechanism, not just an intention: **a profile names a key, a caller owns its value.** `okf_version` is declared through `materialize_bundle(..., root_frontmatter_values=...)` because its value tracks the upstream Google version and belongs to catalog (decision E1) — a constant here would claim a decision we do not own, and would be the one thing to chase on every upstream release. Where upstream itself defers a contract — v0.2's attestation receipt and verdict wire formats — the format is supported and the unspecified runtime is not; it re-enters scope when upstream specifies it. Because "always latest" decays silently, the release checklist carries an upstream-version re-check. **Structured frontmatter values are emitted in YAML *flow* form, never block.** Both are valid YAML and an upstream reader recovers the same structure from either, but this library's parser is line-oriented: it round-trips a flow mapping as an opaque value and cannot read the block form at all — two block mappings sharing an inner key (§10.2's `executor` and `attester`, both carrying `resource`) collapse into one namespace and the first is lost silently. Emitting block would produce bundles we cannot read back. Reading it needs the structured reader (D1b); until then the constraint binds what we write. **Every upstream release runs `docs/upstream-okf-upgrade-runbook.md`.** Pin the commit, enumerate the whole `okf/` tree, **read the shipped example bundles and not only `SPEC.md`**, classify the diff, measure our exposure and each consumer's, plan additively, pilot before GA, then inform every OKF-consuming repo. The runbook is not optional and not a summary of good intentions: each step names the concrete failure it prevents, and all of them are failures that happened during v0.1 → v0.2. **This repo is a black box for its consumers.** The target cost of an upstream release to a consuming repo is **a re-run, nothing more**: support is additive (a new profile, never a migration), existing profiles stay byte-stable, new public parameters are keyword-only with defaults so positional call sites stay source-compatible, and consumer golden fixtures must not churn. The boundary is stated every time rather than glossed — the library absorbs *shape* changes, not upstream changes to content a consumer authored (v0.2's `timestamp` and `# Citations` supersessions). For that class the deliverable is a measured exposure report per consumer, sent before they ask. Phase 4 preconditions (coordination, not unilateral moves): - Lifts okr's reference implementations (`okf-check.mjs`, `okf-index.mjs`, innboks libs) in agreement with okr and the marketplace catalog; the catalog remains the convention owner and re-pins its shared gate here. - linkedin-studio's `ingest/published/` provenance-record grammar stays plugin-local by design (different lifecycle) — do not normalize it. - The Node-side persist gate remains security territory: guard-as-contract (per okr's adoption doc) until a Node guard exists in the security repo. No security reimplementation here, in either runtime. ### Non-goals (all phases) - Verdict/feedback machinery (method-spec) — stays in consumer repos. - Embedding/RAG/retrieval layers. - Security functionality — always the guard's domain. ## Stack Python 3.10+. Package `llm_ingestion_okf` (src layout, hatchling). **Exactly one runtime dependency, ever:** `llm-ingestion-guard>=1.2,<2.0` (itself zero-dep), landed with the Door B/C persist gates. Everything else is stdlib, and a packaging test enforces it. Only `guard_adapter.py` imports the guard; importing the package does not. Install channel until the package index exists (a direct reference is a channel, not the pin): `pip install "llm-ingestion-guard @ git+https://git.fromaitochitta.com/open/llm-ingestion-pipeline-security.git@v1.2.0"`. Binary extraction parsers live behind the `[extract]` extra only — today `pdfplumber>=0.11.10,<0.12` for `pdf`. Extracted PDF text is pinned to an exact transitive parser version (`pdfminer.six==20260107`), so widening that range is a fixture migration, guarded by a frozen literal in `tests/test_extract.py`; see `tests/fixtures/README.md`. Phase 4 adds a `node/` half: Node/ESM with zero npm dependencies (`node:` builtins only), both importable and CLI-invokable, consumed by vendoring per plugin rather than npm publishing. The halves share contract and fixtures, never code. ## Conventions - Type hints everywhere; `mypy --strict` target. - Determinism is bit-exact: `ingested_at` is an explicit required argument (no wall-clock defaults); LF-only output; golden fixtures compared byte-for-byte. - Filenames and titles are normalized to Unicode NFC before use (`materialize.reduce_to_id_grammar`, `inbox.process_inbox`): macOS/APFS hands filenames over in decomposed form, so an `é` arrives as `e` + combining acute. Without normalizing first, the same visual name (e.g. a Norwegian slugger title like "linkedin-studio") reduces differently depending on which form it arrived in, splitting one title into two generated filenames. - No model calls anywhere in the run path. - Credentials only as env-var *references* resolved at runtime; never in manifests, logs, or frontmatter. - Network access requires an explicit per-run opt-in flag; refuse fail-fast otherwise. - Conventional Commits: `type(scope): description`. - English for all code, docs, and commit messages (public repo). ## Commands - Test: `pytest` - Lint: `ruff check .` + `ruff format --check .` - Type check: `mypy --strict src/` - Build a bundle: `okf build --bundle --bundle-id --okf-version ` — the installed console script (`[project.scripts]`), the packaged form of what used to be a shell loop over two `tools/` scripts. It is orchestration only: the proposer and the corpus harness live in `llm_ingestion_okf.propose` and `llm_ingestion_okf.corpus`, and the `tools/` scripts are thin entry points to the same functions so the published reproduction blocks still run. Path scope for a document's proposals is its RELATIVE path minus the extension (the door walks recursively, and two same-named documents in different folders must not collide); `--ingested-at` and `--proposed-at` default to one shared epoch constant rather than the clock, because a wall-clock default takes rebuild-equals-incremental away from anyone who omits them. Arm C, Arm D and Arm E are off and not exposed here. - Consume a bundle: `python3 tools/okf_consume.py --question "" [--k N] [--limit N] [--out PATH] [--ref IDENTITY]` — the **pre-pass** `docs/consumption-contract.md` § 1 defines, and the only reading direction this library has. It lives in `tools/` for the reason `okf_contract_check.py` states for itself: outside `src/`, so no consumer's install surface changes because it exists. Its entry point is `build_payload(...)` with the CLI a thin `main()`, so lifting it into `src/` the day a consumer asks for a wheel-installed command is a move, not a rewrite. Deterministic and offline by construction: no model call, no socket, no clock, stdlib plus this package only. It **walks the index tree, never a directory** — § 9.2 forbids enumerating one unless the named profile says the index is derived, and measured, `entries_match_directory` is `True` for `STRICT_V1` alone; the walk loses nothing (629 = 629 on the K2 bundle, controlled in a test against the very method § 9.2 forbids). `--ref` is an **assertion**, never an override: the emitted identity is always the computed one, because § 3.3 exists to stop a payload being labelled with an identity its bytes do not have. Three exit codes: 0 written, 1 refused, 2 did not run. The first instantiated consumption skill is `skills/okf-consume/`; the measurement behind it, including the control that FAILED, is `docs/2026-09-07-okf-konsumskill-maaling.md`. **The ranking is this repository's own choice** — the contract binds a payload, not a retrieval algorithm (§ 10) — and it has THREE optional widenings, all **off by default** and all keeping the default payload byte-identical. `--cost-vocabulary`: a declared cost/price/quantity vocabulary family that bridges a question and a document naming money with different words, gated on the QUESTION carrying such a term, so a question without one is byte-identical either way. It moves a measured case from candidate rank 249 to 10 and does **not** deliver it — the budget is a second, independent lock. Measured, with two rules falsified before building and the `k`-sweep that showed a higher `k` can EVICT a gold concept, in `docs/2026-09-08-blindsone-below-k-k2.md`. `--reserve-top-rank` is that second lock: the pack is an exact knapsack over a SUM, so it has no opinion about rank and out-sums a top-ranked excerpt costing a large share of the budget. The flag gives rank one its bytes first, AFTER the `over_budget_alone` pre-exclusion and never before, and declares `budget.reserved` in the payload. It fixes the eviction and does **not** close the mandate-shaped blind spot (that concept ranks 10, not 1); the budget stays the caller's decision, because deriving a limit from the corpus was measured and falsified — two defensible derivations, 49x apart, one of them breaking the known-positive. `docs/2026-09-08-blindsone-laas2-budsjett-k2.md`. `--rarity-weight` is the third: each lexical hit weighs `log(N/df)` over the bundle's own concepts instead of 1, so an identifier is not worth what a common verb is worth. It enters the RANKING and never the GATE — `lexical` stays a count, because a word every concept carries weighs exactly 0 and a weighted gate is what `54a0bc2` falsified. Off by default BY MEASUREMENT: it delivers one of three requirement lookups and takes a priced sheet from candidate rank 10 to 2, leaves one gold unmoved and costs another seven rank positions. Two limits are decomposed rather than guessed, and both are someone else's mechanism: `MIN_SHARED_PREFIX = 4` makes a unique identifier read as 135-of-446 common, and RRF consumes RANKS, so no weighting inside a signal can move a gold that already leads it. `docs/2026-09-08-sjeldenhetsvekt.md`. ## Workflow - TDD: no production code without a failing test first. - This repo is published PUBLICLY (`open/` namespace on Forgejo). `STATE.md` and `docs/oppstartsprompt.md` are LOCAL-ONLY (gitignored) — never commit session state or internal briefs. No secrets, sober English prose, no marketing language. - **Consumer content stays at form level in public files.** Some consumers we read are private (`claude-code-llm-wiki` is, pending an Anthropic ToS assessment). Key names, counts, gate names, profile fields and contract shapes are publishable; page bodies, full title or path lists from a consumer's bundle, and Anthropic-derived prose are not. Findings about a private consumer's data go back to them through coord, never as a file here. This costs nothing — every question this library asks of a consumer is about shapes and key sets — and it is not reversible once pushed. - After `git commit`: push to Forgejo (`git push origin`) immediately. Never GitHub. ## Communication patterns ### Linking to local files When pointing to local files in responses, always use markdown link syntax with a descriptive name: - Use `[Human-friendly name](file:///absolute/path)` — never bare `file:///...` URLs or autolinks ``. - Always use absolute paths. Never `~/` or relative paths. - For multiple files, render as a bullet list of named markdown links. Why: bare `file://` URLs only render the first as clickable across multiple lines. Named markdown links make each entry independently clickable and look cleaner.
