# Supermemory POC on unRaid

This project is an isolated evaluation service. It does not replace the
production Hindsight service or change the default Hermes profile.

## Fixed deployment choices

- Supermemory Local `server-v0.0.8`, Linux x64 binary, verified by SHA-256.
- One self-contained server; state, auth material, uploaded files, and model
  cache live under `/mnt/user/appdata/supermemory-poc/data`.
- A dedicated address on Docker `br0`; port `6767` is not published on the
  unRaid host address.
- Local multilingual `Xenova/bge-m3` embeddings at 1024 dimensions.
- One embedding worker and ingest concurrency 1. This avoids treating known
  concurrent-local-embedding instability as a retrieval-quality result.
- Extraction/summarization uses an operator-supplied OpenAI-compatible LLM.
- Resource ceiling: 4 CPUs and 8 GiB RAM. Supermemory Local keeps its corpus
  in memory, so RSS must be watched as the sample grows.

Do not change the embedding model or dimensions in place. Use a fresh data
directory and re-ingest when comparing a different embedding plan.

## Before deployment

1. Confirm the chosen `SUPERMEMORY_IPV4_ADDRESS` is absent from both Arcane's
   `br0` attachments and the LAN neighbor/DHCP tables.
2. Add `SUPERMEMORY_IPV4_ADDRESS`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, and optional model/base URL
   overrides to this Project's Arcane environment. Do not put secrets in Git,
   Compose, activity notes, or chat.
3. Confirm `/mnt/user/appdata` has room for the 298 MiB server binary, the
   multilingual model cache, data, and rollback copy.
4. Confirm no other build, image pull, backup, or migration is active on the
   unRaid Environment.

The `supermemory-fetch` init service downloads the exact release asset once,
checks its SHA-256, and stores it in the POC appdata directory. Subsequent
starts only verify the existing binary. No custom image build is required.

## First boot and authentication

The server creates its client bearer token at:

`/mnt/user/appdata/supermemory-poc/data/api-key`

Read it through an authorized unRaid/Arcane console without printing it into
logs. Save it only as `SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY` in the `supermemory-lab` Hermes
profile. The extraction LLM key and Supermemory client key are different.

The current candidate address is `192.168.50.13`: it is not attached to an
Arcane-managed `br0` container and did not answer the pre-deployment neighbor
or ICMP probes. Confirm it is outside the DHCP pool or reserve it before the
Project is started.

Expected Hermes profile file `$HERMES_HOME/supermemory.json` (also provided as
`hermes-supermemory.json.example`):

```json
{
  "base_url": "http://<dedicated-ip>:6767",
  "container_tag": "hermes_supermemory_lab",
  "auto_recall": true,
  "auto_capture": true,
  "max_recall_results": 10,
  "profile_frequency": 50,
  "capture_mode": "all",
  "search_mode": "hybrid",
  "api_timeout": 10.0
}
```

Run `poc.py smoke` before importing any sampled production material. It checks
the v3 document path plus the v4 search, profile, and conversation endpoints
used by Hermes.

## Evaluation guardrails

- Score raw Supermemory API retrieval separately from the Hermes answer. In
  Hermes Agent v0.21.1, the provider reads result metadata but omits it from
  automatic prefetch text and from the explicit search tool response. A raw
  hit with correct `source`/`original_id` followed by an uncited Hermes answer
  is an adapter attribution gap, not a retrieval miss.
- Do not run the fixed scored question set with automatic writes enabled. The
  default Hindsight profile has `auto_retain: true`, and this lab profile has
  `auto_capture: true`; earlier test answers could leak into later questions.
  Use a read-only Hindsight snapshot/profile and set Supermemory
  `auto_capture: false` for the retrieval benchmark. Re-enable capture only for
  the separately scored session-experience phase.
- Hermes built-in `MEMORY.md` and `USER.md` remain active independently of the
  external provider. Record their presence and size for each arm so built-in
  context is not credited to Hindsight or Supermemory.
- Self-hosted Supermemory has no managed Google Drive, Gmail, Notion, or
  OneDrive connectors. This POC evaluates explicit file/document ingestion,
  not hosted connector sync.

## Staged data flow

1. `poc.py sample-hindsight` reads active observations from the supported
   Hindsight 0.8.4 list API and writes a local JSONL artifact. It never mutates
   the source bank.
2. Manually review that artifact for scope and sensitive content.
3. `poc.py ingest-jsonl` writes the approved rows serially to the isolated
   Supermemory container using stable custom IDs and provenance metadata.
4. `poc.py ingest-files` uploads a small, separately reviewed
   DEVONthink/Obsidian manifest. Keep the original UUID/path in metadata and
   treat the source system as authoritative. The default per-file cap is 50
   MiB so an accidental library-wide import fails closed.
5. Run the same questions against the default and `supermemory-lab` profiles;
   record groundedness, source traceability, latency, tokens, and cost.

Artifacts are ignored by Git. Do not put exported observations or document
content in this configuration repository.

Hermes sanitizes container tags by replacing hyphens with underscores. Keep
the canonical `hermes_supermemory_lab` spelling in direct API imports so they
land in the same container queried by the profile.

## Rollback

Stop/down only this Project. Keep `/mnt/user/appdata/supermemory-poc` for later
inspection, or archive it before any separately approved deletion. The default
Hermes profile and Hindsight service require no rollback because this project
does not modify them.
