Phase 9 Commit A from the agreed plan: turn AtoCore from a stateless
context enhancer into a system that records what it actually fed to an
LLM and what came back. This is the audit trail Reflection (Commit B)
and Extraction (Commit C) will be layered on top of.
The interactions table existed in the schema since the original PoC
but nothing wrote to it. This change makes it real:
Schema migration (additive only):
- response full LLM response (caller decides how much)
- memories_used JSON list of memory ids in the context pack
- chunks_used JSON list of chunk ids in the context pack
- client identifier of the calling system
(openclaw, claude-code, manual, ...)
- session_id groups multi-turn conversations
- project project name (mirrors the memory module pattern,
no FK so capture stays cheap)
- indexes on session_id, project, created_at
The created_at column is now written explicitly with a SQLite-compatible
'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' format so the same string lives in the DB and the
returned dataclass. Without this the `since` filter on list_interactions
would silently fail because CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and isoformat use different
shapes that do not compare cleanly as strings.
New module src/atocore/interactions/:
- Interaction dataclass
- record_interaction() persists one round-trip (prompt required;
everything else optional). Refuses empty prompts.
- list_interactions() filters by project / session_id / client / since,
newest-first, hard-capped at 500
- get_interaction() fetch by id, full response + context pack
API endpoints:
- POST /interactions capture one interaction
- GET /interactions list with summaries (no full response)
- GET /interactions/{id} full record incl. response + pack
Trust model:
- Capture is read-only with respect to memories, project state, and
source chunks. Nothing here promotes anything into trusted state.
- The audit trail becomes the dataset Commit B (reinforcement) and
Commit C (extraction + review queue) will operate on.
Tests (13 new, all green):
- service: persist + roundtrip every field
- service: minimum-fields path (prompt only)
- service: empty / whitespace prompt rejected
- service: get by id returns None for missing
- service: filter by project, session, client
- service: ordering newest-first with limit
- service: since filter inclusive on cutoff (the bug the timestamp
fix above caught)
- service: limit=0 returns empty
- API: POST records and round-trips through GET /interactions/{id}
- API: empty prompt returns 400
- API: missing id returns 404
- API: list filter returns summaries (not full response bodies)
Full suite: 118 passing (was 105).
master-plan-status.md updated to move Phase 9 from "not started" to
"started" with the explicit note that Commit A is in and Commits B/C
remain.
