### Key Components

#### 1. SelfLearningMemory (Main Orchestrator)

**Location**: `memory/mod.rs`

**Responsibilities**:
- Episode lifecycle management (start → log → complete)
- Pattern extraction coordination
- Context retrieval for decision-making
- Storage backend integration

**Key Methods**:
```rust
pub async fn start_episode(task: String, context: TaskContext, task_type: TaskType) -> Uuid
pub async fn log_step(episode_id: Uuid, step: ExecutionStep) -> Result<()>
pub async fn complete_episode(episode_id: Uuid, outcome: TaskOutcome, reward: RewardScore) -> Result<()>
pub async fn retrieve_context(query: &str, task_type: TaskType) -> Result<Vec<Episode>>
```

**Architecture**:
- StepBuffer for batching execution steps (reduces I/O)
- Async pattern extraction queue (decouples completion from extraction)
- Dual storage coordination (Turso + redb)

#### 2. Pattern Extraction System

**Extractors (7 types)**:
1. **HybridPatternExtractor** - Combines all strategies
2. **ContextPatternExtractor** - Domain/language-aware
3. **DecisionPointExtractor** - Conditional branches
4. **ErrorRecoveryExtractor** - Error handling patterns
5. **ToolSequenceExtractor** - Sequential tool usage
6. **HeuristicExtractor** - Condition-action rules
7. **CustomPatternExtractor** - User-defined patterns

**Pattern Types**:
```rust
pub enum Pattern {
    ToolSequence { id, tools, context, success_rate, avg_latency },
    DecisionPoint { id, condition, action, outcome_stats },
    ErrorRecovery { id, error_type, recovery_steps, success_rate },
    ContextPattern { id, domain, language, task_type, success_rate },
    Custom { id, pattern_data },
}
```

**Validation**:
- PatternValidator for quality assessment (precision, recall, F1)
- PatternClusterer for deduplication (cosine similarity)
- EffectivenessTracker for usage statistics
- Risk assessment and compatibility checks

#### 3. Reward Calculation

**Components**:
- Base outcome score (success/partial/failure)
- Efficiency multiplier (duration + step count)
- Complexity bonus (expert-level tasks rewarded)
- Quality multiplier (step success rate)
- Learning bonus (new patterns discovered)

**Formula**:
```rust
reward = base_score * efficiency * (1 + complexity_bonus) * quality * (1 + learning_bonus)
```

#### 4. Embeddings System

**Providers**:
1. **LocalEmbeddingProvider** - Offline via sentence-transformers (candle)
   - Model: gte-small-en-v1.5 (384-dimensional)
   - No API costs, privacy-preserving

2. **OpenAIEmbeddingProvider** - Cloud-based (feature-gated)
   - Model: text-embedding-ada-002 (1536-dimensional)
   - Highest accuracy, API costs apply

3. **MockEmbeddingProvider** - Testing only
   - Hash-based pseudo-embeddings
   - NOT semantically meaningful

**SemanticService**:
- Episode semantic search
- Pattern embedding and retrieval
- Context-aware recommendations
- Batch embedding generation

#### 5. Storage Abstraction

**StorageBackend Trait**:
```rust
#[async_trait]
pub trait StorageBackend: Send + Sync {
    async fn store_episode(&self, episode: &Episode) -> Result<()>;
    async fn get_episode(&self, id: Uuid) -> Result<Option<Episode>>;
    async fn store_pattern(&self, pattern: &Pattern) -> Result<()>;
    async fn get_pattern(&self, id: PatternId) -> Result<Option<Pattern>>;
    async fn query_episodes(&self, query: EpisodeQuery) -> Result<Vec<Episode>>;
    async fn query_patterns(&self, query: PatternQuery) -> Result<Vec<Pattern>>;
}
```

**Implementations**:
- TursoStorage (durable, cloud/local)
- RedbStorage (cache, embedded)

---

## Phase 3 Storage Optimization Features (v0.1.14)

### Phase 3 Overview
**Completion Date**: 2026-01-30
**Purpose**: Add advanced caching, query optimization, and episode relationship tracking

### Relationship Module (NEW 2026-01-31)

**Location**: `do-memory-core/src/episode/relationships.rs`, `do-memory-storage-turso/src/relationships.rs`

**Features**:
- Episode-episode relationship tracking
- 7 relationship types: ParentChild, DependsOn, Follows, RelatedTo, Blocks, Duplicates, References
- Bidirectional relationship management
- Metadata support for custom attributes
- Cascade delete on episode removal

**Database Schema**:
```sql
CREATE TABLE episode_relationships (
    relationship_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    from_episode_id TEXT NOT NULL,
    to_episode_id TEXT NOT NULL,
    relationship_type TEXT NOT NULL,
    reason TEXT,
    created_by TEXT,
    priority INTEGER,
    metadata TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '{}',
    created_at INTEGER NOT NULL,
    FOREIGN KEY (from_episode_id) REFERENCES episodes(episode_id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    FOREIGN KEY (to_episode_id) REFERENCES episodes(episode_id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    UNIQUE(from_episode_id, to_episode_id, relationship_type)
);

CREATE INDEX idx_relationships_from ON episode_relationships(from_episode_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_relationships_to ON episode_relationships(to_episode_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_relationships_type ON episode_relationships(relationship_type);
```

**Performance**: <50ms for relationship queries

### Caching Layer (Phase 3.1)

**Location**: `do-memory-storage-turso/src/cache/`

**Components**:
- **CachedTursoStorage** (403 LOC) - Cache wrapper with adaptive TTL
- **AdaptiveTtlCache** (915 LOC) - Advanced cache with memory pressure awareness
- Episode and pattern caching with configurable limits
- Query result caching with pattern matching
- Cache statistics and monitoring

**Cache Configuration**:
```rust
pub struct CacheConfig {
    pub max_episodes: usize,        // Default: 1000
    pub max_patterns: usize,        // Default: 500
    pub default_ttl_secs: u64,      // Default: 3600 (1 hour)
    pub adaptive_scaling: bool,     // Default: true
}
```

### Query Optimization (Phase 3.2)

**Location**: `do-memory-storage-turso/src/prepared/`

**Components**:
- **PreparedStatementCache** (482 LOC) - SQL statement caching with LRU eviction
- Prepared statement reuse across queries
- 80% reduction in SQL parsing overhead
- Integrated into all 22 storage operations

**Cache Statistics**:
```rust
pub struct CacheStats {
    pub hits: u64,
    pub misses: u64,
    pub hit_rate: f64,
    pub evictions: u64,
}
```

### Batch Operations (Phase 3.3)

**Location**: `do-memory-storage-turso/src/storage/batch/`

**Components**: 1,569 LOC across 5 files
- **episode_batch.rs** (293 LOC) - Batch episode operations
- **pattern_batch.rs** (488 LOC) - Batch pattern operations
- **combined_batch.rs** (460 LOC) - Combined episode + pattern batches
- **query_batch.rs** (288 LOC) - Batch query operations

**Performance**: 4-6x throughput improvement for bulk operations

**Example**:
```rust
// Batch insert 100 episodes
storage.store_episodes_batch(episodes, transaction).await?;
// 4-6x faster than individual inserts
```

### File Compliance (Phase 3.4)

**Status**: ✅ ALL MODULES ≤500 LOC
- 17 files split from oversized modules
- All modules now comply with size limit
- Improved maintainability and testability

### Storage Synchronization

**Location**: `do-memory-core/src/sync.rs`

**Strategy**: Turso is source of truth, redb is fast cache

**Synchronizer**:
```rust
pub struct StorageSynchronizer<P, C>
where
    P: StorageBackend,
    C: StorageBackend,
{
    primary: Arc<P>,     // Turso (durable)
    cache: Arc<C>,       // redb (fast)
    config: SyncConfig,
}
```

**Sync Operations**:
1. **Write**: Turso → redb (write-through cache)
2. **Read**: redb first (cache hit), fallback to Turso (cache miss)
3. **Periodic Sync**: Background task syncs Turso → redb
4. **Conflict Resolution**: Turso always wins

**Configuration**:
```rust
pub struct SyncConfig {
    pub sync_interval_secs: u64,    // Default: 300 (5 minutes)
    pub batch_size: usize,          // Default: 100
    pub enable_background_sync: bool, // Default: true
}
```

## MCP Tool Architecture (2026-01-31)

### Current Implementation (v0.1.14)

The Memory-MCP server provides **~20 tools** for episodic memory operations across 4 categories:

#### Tool Categories
1. **Episode Management** (5 tools)
   - `create_episode`, `add_episode_step`, `complete_episode`
   - `get_episode`, `delete_episode`

2. **Memory Queries** (4 tools)
   - `query_memory`, `query_semantic_memory`
   - `bulk_episodes`, `search_episodes_by_tags`

3. **Pattern Analysis** (5 active tools + deferred batch analytics)
   - `analyze_patterns`, `search_patterns`, `recommend_patterns`
   - `advanced_pattern_analysis` (active)
   - `batch_pattern_analysis` (deferred / not advertised in current MCP contract)
   - `pattern_effectiveness_tracking`

4. **System & Monitoring** (5 tools)
   - `health_check`, `get_metrics`, `quality_metrics`
   - `execute_agent_code`, `configure_embeddings`

#### Tool Loading Mechanism (Pre-Optimization)

**Current State**:
- All tool schemas loaded at MCP server startup
- Full tool definitions included in `tools/list` response
- Tool discovery cost: ~12,000 tokens per session
- All schemas transmitted even if client only uses 2-3 tools
- Lazy listing is available via `lazy=true` for clients that support ToolStub responses

**Architecture**:
```rust
// do-memory-mcp/src/server/tools/mod.rs
pub struct ToolSet {
    pub tools: HashMap<String, Tool>,
    // All schemas loaded eagerly
}

impl ToolSet {
    pub fn list_tools(&self) -> Vec<Tool> {
        self.tools.values().cloned().collect()
        // Returns full schemas for all 20 tools
    }
}
```

**Performance Impact**:
- Network overhead: ~50KB for tool discovery
- Token cost: ~12,000 tokens (JSON-RPC response)
- Latency: ~100-200ms for schema transmission
- Scalability: Linear growth with tool count

### Optimization Opportunities

Based on research documents:
- [P0] Dynamic/Lazy Tool Loading: 90-96% input reduction (2-3 days)
- [P0] Field Selection/Projection: 20-60% output reduction (1-2 days)
- [P1] Semantic Tool Selection: 91% overall reduction (3-5 days)
- [P1] Response Compression: 30-40% output reduction (2-3 days)
- [P2] Pagination: 50-80% reduction (1-2 days)
- [P2] Semantic Caching: 20-40% reduction (3-4 days)

### Integration with Existing Systems

#### SemanticService Integration
- **Location**: `do-memory-core/src/embeddings/semantic/`
- **Current Use**: Episode/pattern semantic search
- **Extension**: Tool embedding index for semantic selection
- **Dependencies**: OpenAI/local embedding providers

#### Storage Backend Integration
- **Turso**: Primary storage for episodes/patterns
- **Redb**: Cache layer for hot data
- **Impact**: Field projection reduces storage I/O

#### WASM Sandbox Integration
- **Current**: `execute_agent_code` tool uses WASM sandbox
- **Impact**: No changes needed (isolated execution)

### Performance Targets (Post-Optimization)

| Metric | Current | Target (P0) | Target (P0-P2) | Measured (lazy) |
|--------|---------|------------|---------------|------------------|
| Tool Discovery | 12,000 tokens | <500 tokens | <200 tokens | 227 tokens (8 tools) |
| Query Response | 3,000 tokens | 1,200-2,400 | 600-1,200 | — |
| Bulk Operations | 50,000 tokens | 20,000-40,000 | 10,000-20,000 | — |
| Annual Usage | 780M tokens | 332M tokens | 220M tokens | ~50M tokens (lazy) |
