## Phase 3 Completion Status

### ✅ Phase 3.1: Core Module Implementation (COMPLETE)

#### Module 1: SpatiotemporalIndex (index.rs)
**Status**: ✅ COMPLETE
**LOC**: ~1,042 lines
**Tests**: 13 tests passing

**Features Implemented**:
- Three-level hierarchical indexing (domain → task_type → temporal)
- Temporal clustering with adaptive granularity (weekly, monthly, quarterly)
- Efficient insertion and removal operations
- Query methods for domain, task_type, and time range filtering

**Key Components**:
```rust
pub struct SpatiotemporalIndex {
    domains: HashMap<String, DomainIndex>,
}

pub struct DomainIndex {
    domain: String,
    task_types: HashMap<TaskType, TaskTypeIndex>,
}

pub struct TaskTypeIndex {
    task_type: TaskType,
    temporal_clusters: Vec<TemporalCluster>,
}
```

**Test Coverage**:
- Index creation and structure
- Episode insertion (single, multiple domains, same domain)
- Episode removal
- Temporal clustering (weekly, monthly, quarterly)
- Query operations (by domain, task_type, all episodes)
- Empty cluster cleanup

#### Module 2: HierarchicalRetriever (retriever.rs)
**Status**: ✅ COMPLETE
**LOC**: ~918 lines
**Tests**: 14 tests passing

**Features Implemented**:
- Coarse-to-fine retrieval strategy
- Multi-level scoring (domain match, task type, temporal proximity, text similarity)
- Configurable temporal bias for recency preference
- Efficient filtering and ranking

**Retrieval Algorithm**:
1. **Level 1**: Domain filtering (if specified)
2. **Level 2**: Task type filtering (if specified)
3. **Level 3**: Temporal proximity scoring (recent bias)
4. **Level 4**: Text similarity calculation
5. **Final**: Combined relevance scoring

**Scoring Formula**:
```
Combined Score = (domain_score * 0.3) + 
                 (task_type_score * 0.2) + 
                 (temporal_score * 0.2) + 
                 (text_similarity * 0.3)
```

**Test Coverage**:

- Domain filtering (with/without filter)
- Task type filtering (with/without filter)
- Scoring components (domain, task type, temporal, text similarity)
- Combined score calculation
- Temporal bias effects
- Full retrieval workflows
- Edge cases (empty episodes, no filters)

**Tests**: 23 tests passing

**Features Implemented**:
- Maximal Marginal Relevance (MMR) algorithm
- Cosine similarity calculation for embeddings
- Diversity score computation
- Configurable lambda parameter (default: 0.7)

**MMR Algorithm**:
```
MMR Score(e) = λ * Relevance(e) - (1-λ) * max(Similarity(e, selected_i))

Where:
- λ = 0.7 (default): 70% relevance, 30% diversity
- Relevance(e): Pre-computed relevance score
- Similarity(e, selected_i): Cosine similarity to selected episodes
```

**Diversity Score Target**: ≥0.7

**Test Coverage**:
- DiversityMaximizer creation

**LOC**: ~Various (integrated with embeddings module)
**Tests**: 14 tests passing

**Features Implemented**:

**Status**: ✅ COMPLETE
**Modified Files**:

- `do-memory-core/src/memory/mod.rs` (+10 lines)

**Changes Implemented**:
1. Added Phase 3 module imports
2. Added `hierarchical_retriever` field to `SelfLearningMemory`

4. Updated `retrieve_relevant_context()` to use hierarchical retrieval
5. Implemented fallback to legacy retrieval on error
6. Enhanced logging for Phase 3 retrieval

**New Retrieval Flow**:
```rust
// Phase 3: Use hierarchical retriever for efficient search
let query = RetrievalQuery {
    query_text: task_description.clone(),
    query_embedding: None,
    domain: Some(context.domain.clone()),
    task_type: None,
    limit: limit * 2, // Retrieve more for diversity
};

let scored_episodes = self.hierarchical_retriever
    .retrieve(&query, &completed_episodes)
    .await?;

// Sort by relevance and return top results
```

**Backward Compatibility**: ✅ Maintained
- Fallback to legacy retrieval if hierarchical fails
- Existing tests continue to pass
- No breaking API changes
