6 Server Internals ¶

This chapter is the operator-and-developer reference for how the server fits together: process model, request lifecycle, the database schema, the embedding-provider abstraction, the security model, logging, and how the auto-migration framework handles schema changes over time.

• Process model
• Request lifecycle
• The memories table
• The embedding provider abstraction
• Tag normalization
• Dedup-on-write and tombstones
• The auto-migration framework
• The per-record upgrader framework
• Security model
• Logging
• Treat memories as data, not instructions
