Addresses recommendations from the UX developer's agent experience report.
Adds provenance predicates, DAG structure changes, error resilience, and
a published OWL ontology.
Explainability additions:
- Tool candidates: tg:toolCandidate on Analysis events lists the tools
visible to the LLM for each iteration (names only, descriptions in config)
- Termination reason: tg:terminationReason on Conclusion/Synthesis events
(final-answer, plan-complete, subagents-complete)
- Step counter: tg:stepNumber on iteration events
- Pattern decision: new tg:PatternDecision entity in the DAG between
session and first iteration, carrying tg:pattern and tg:taskType
- Latency: tg:llmDurationMs on Analysis events, tg:toolDurationMs on
Observation events
- Token counts on events: tg:inToken/tg:outToken/tg:llmModel on
Grounding, Focus, Synthesis, and Analysis events
- Tool/parse errors: tg:toolError on Observation events with tg:Error
mixin type. Parse failures return as error observations instead of
crashing the agent, giving it a chance to retry.
Envelope unification:
- Rename chunk_type to message_type across AgentResponse schema,
translator, SDK types, socket clients, CLI, and all tests.
Agent and RAG services now both use message_type on the wire.
Ontology:
- specs/ontology/trustgraph.ttl — OWL vocabulary covering all 26 classes,
7 object properties, and 36+ datatype properties including new predicates.
DAG structure tests:
- tests/unit/test_provenance/test_dag_structure.py verifies the
wasDerivedFrom chain for GraphRAG, DocumentRAG, and all three agent
patterns (react, plan, supervisor) including the pattern-decision link.
Remove Pulsar-specific concepts from application code so that
the pub/sub backend is swappable via configuration.
Rename translators:
- to_pulsar/from_pulsar → decode/encode across all translator
classes, dispatch handlers, and tests (55+ files)
- from_response_with_completion → encode_with_completion
- Remove pulsar.schema.Record from translator base class
Queue naming (CLASS:TOPICSPACE:TOPIC):
- Replace topic() helper with queue() using new format:
flow:tg:name, request:tg:name, response:tg:name, state:tg:name
- Queue class implies persistence/TTL (no QoS in names)
- Update Pulsar backend map_topic() to parse new format
- Librarian queues use flow class (persistent, for chunking)
- Config push uses state class (persistent, last-value)
- Remove 15 dead topic imports from schema files
- Update init_trustgraph.py namespace: config → state
Confine Pulsar to pulsar_backend.py:
- Delete legacy PulsarClient class from pubsub.py
- Move add_args to add_pubsub_args() with standalone flag
for CLI tools (defaults to localhost)
- PulsarBackendConsumer.receive() catches _pulsar.Timeout,
raises standard TimeoutError
- Remove Pulsar imports from: async_processor, flow_processor,
log_level, all 11 client files, 4 storage writers, gateway
service, gateway config receiver
- Remove log_level/LoggerLevel from client API
- Rewrite tg-monitor-prompts to use backend abstraction
- Update tg-dump-queues to use add_pubsub_args
Also: pubsub-abstraction.md tech spec covering problem statement,
design goals, as-is requirements, candidate broker assessment,
approach, and implementation order.
Introduce an agent orchestrator service that supports three
execution patterns (ReAct, plan-then-execute, supervisor) with
LLM-based meta-routing to select the appropriate pattern and task
type per request. Update the agent schema to support
orchestration fields (correlation, sub-agents, plan steps) and
remove legacy response fields (answer, thought, observation).
Add unified explainability support and librarian storage for all retrieval engines
Implements consistent explainability/provenance tracking
across GraphRAG, DocumentRAG, and Agent retrieval
engines. All large content (answers, thoughts, observations)
is now stored in librarian rather than as inline literals in
the knowledge graph.
Explainability API:
- New explainability.py module with entity classes (Question,
Exploration, Focus, Synthesis, Analysis, Conclusion) and
ExplainabilityClient
- Quiescence-based eventual consistency handling for trace
fetching
- Content fetching from librarian with retry logic
CLI updates:
- tg-invoke-graph-rag -x/--explainable flag returns
explain_id
- tg-invoke-document-rag -x/--explainable flag returns
explain_id
- tg-invoke-agent -x/--explainable flag returns explain_id
- tg-list-explain-traces uses new explainability API
- tg-show-explain-trace handles all three trace types
Agent provenance:
- Records session, iterations (think/act/observe), and conclusion
- Stores thoughts and observations in librarian with document
references
- New predicates: tg:thoughtDocument, tg:observationDocument
DocumentRAG provenance:
- Records question, exploration (chunk retrieval), and synthesis
- Stores answers in librarian with document references
Schema changes:
- AgentResponse: added explain_id, explain_graph fields
- RetrievalResponse: added explain_id, explain_graph fields
- agent_iteration_triples: supports thought_document_id,
observation_document_id
Update tests.
