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.
The metadata field (list of triples) in the pipeline Metadata class
was redundant. Document metadata triples already flow directly from
librarian to triple-store via emit_document_provenance() - they don't
need to pass through the extraction pipeline.
Additionally, chunker and PDF decoder were overwriting metadata to []
anyway, so any metadata passed through the pipeline was being
discarded.
Changes:
- Remove metadata field from Metadata dataclass
(schema/core/metadata.py)
- Update all Metadata instantiations to remove metadata=[]
parameter
- Remove metadata handling from translators (document_loading,
knowledge)
- Remove metadata consumption from extractors (ontology, agent)
- Update gateway serializers and import handlers
- Update all unit, integration, and contract tests
* Changed schema for Value -> Term, majorly breaking change
* Following the schema change, Value -> Term into all processing
* Updated Cassandra for g, p, s, o index patterns (7 indexes)
* Reviewed and updated all tests
* Neo4j, Memgraph and FalkorDB remain broken, will look at once settled down
* Tweak the structured query schema
* Structure query service
* Gateway support for nlp-query and structured-query
* API support
* Added CLI
* Update tests
* More tests
