…mon log (rohitg00#931) A missing or broken embedding runtime surfaced only as a per-write logger.warn inside the vector-index guards, so a corpus could reach six figures of observations at ~1% vector coverage with no visible signal. A live deployment was observed at 201,102 observations with 1.1% coverage. Probe the resolved provider once at boot (one embed call, warming the model) and report the outcome. The probe is dispatched fire-and-forget: the shutdown handlers are not registered yet at that point in main(), and a cold local-model load can download tens of MB, so awaiting it would leave a window where SIGTERM kills the process without the persisted search index being saved. Reporting goes through logger, not just bootLog: bootLog reaches stderr only under --verbose, which a daemon (launchd/systemd) start never sets, so bootLog-only diagnostics were silently discarded on exactly the deployments that needed them. The disabled branch also prints the resolved EMBEDDING_PROVIDER value rather than hardcoding "none", so a typo'd value is not blamed on the opt-out. The local provider's install error now also names the legacy @xenova/transformers 2.x package as incompatible - that is exactly what sat installed on the observed live box while the code imported the renamed successor. The probe calls embedBatch, not embed, since embedBatch is what the indexing path (vectorIndexAddBatchGuarded) actually uses, and verifies the returned shape - the guard drops any vector whose length differs from the provider's dimensions, so a wrong-shape provider would pass a bare probe yet index nothing. LocalEmbeddingProvider now caches the in-flight extractor load: the probe and a BM25 rebuild's embedding queue can both hit a cold provider at once, and each concurrent caller used to kick off its own pipeline() initialization. The cached promise is evicted on rejection so a transient download failure is retried rather than latched until restart.
…exes (rohitg00#931) A synthetic compression legitimately has an empty narrative when the hook carried no prompt, input, or output (compress-synthetic.ts). indexRecords required both title and narrative, silently dropping those observations from the BM25 and vector indexes, while the live observe.ts path indexed them fine. Gate on title alone and fall back to title-only text for the embedding queue.

…im comments The regression test asserted only the indexed count, which passes even when the observation never reaches the index - the exact failure it exists to catch. It now asserts the index holds o1 and that a search returns it. Also cut the added comments from 44 to 27 percent of added source lines, per the repository source-comment guideline, keeping only rationale the code cannot carry.

Both addressed in Assert index contents — fixed, and you were right that the count alone was hollow. Comments — trimmed, from 44% to 27% of added source lines. Kept the reason the boot probe is deliberately not awaited (the SIGINT/SIGTERM handlers are registered later in that function, and a cold model load can outlast a deploy signal, which would lose the persisted index), and the reason the probe calls |

Problem
#931's underlying complaint is that embedding failures are invisible. Two concrete holes:
logger.warninside the vector-index guards. On a live deployment we observed, the corpus reached 201,102 observations at 1.1% vector coverage before anyone noticed — the installed package was the legacy@xenova/transformers2.x while the code imports the renamed@huggingface/transformers, and not one boot line said so.indexRecordssilently dropped observations with an empty narrative from both the BM25 and vector indexes. Synthetic compressions legitimately have an empty narrative when the hook carried no prompt/input/output (compress-synthetic.ts), and the liveobserve.tspath indexes those fine — only the rebuild path lost them.Fix
Boot probe (commit 1). Resolve and warm the embedding provider once at boot with a single
embed()call, and report the outcome — provider name and dimensions on success, the underlying error plus the BM25-only degradation on failure. Details that matter:main()the shutdown handlers aren't registered yet, and a cold local-model load can download tens of MB — awaiting the probe would open a window where a rolling deploy's SIGTERM kills the process beforeindexPersistence.save()runs, losing the persisted search index. Detached, a slow cold load simply reports later; no timeout needed.logger, not justbootLog.bootLogreaches stderr only under--verbose, which a daemon (launchd/systemd) start never passes — its buffer is otherwise never read. That's precisely why hole fix: system audit -- 10 bugs fixed across hooks, triggers, and core #1 stayed invisible on the deployment that mattered.bootLogis kept alongside for--verboseparity.EMBEDDING_PROVIDERvalue instead of hardcodingnone, so a typo'd value isn't blamed on the deliberate opt-out.embedBatch, notembed, and verifies the returned shape (one vector of exactlydimensionslength) —embedBatchis what the indexing path (vectorIndexAddBatchGuarded) actually uses, and that guard drops any wrong-length vector, so a wrong-shape provider would pass a bare probe yet index nothing.@xenova/transformers2.x as incompatible — the exact trap from the observed deployment.LocalEmbeddingProvidercaches the in-flight extractor load. The probe and a BM25 rebuild's embedding queue can both hit a cold provider at once; with only a post-awaitcache, each concurrent caller kicks off its ownpipeline()initialization (duplicate model download/memory — verified against plain Node promise semantics; vitest's module runner serializes mocked dynamic imports, so the concurrency itself isn't black-box testable there). The cached promise is evicted on rejection so a transient download failure retries instead of latching until restart — and that eviction behavior is pinned by a test that fails against the naive??=implementation.Indexing gate (commit 2).
indexRecordsnow requires only a title, with title-only text for the embedding queue when the narrative is empty — matching whatobserve.tsalready does.Tests
Probe success/failure/never-rejects via the exported
reportEmbeddingProbeResult(exported precisely because the call site is fire-and-forget, so awaiting it in a test is the only way to observe settlement); structural checks for the two boot lines inmain()(which can't be invoked from a unit test — importingsrc/index.tsstarts a real worker); the rewritten install error naming both packages; a wrong-shape probe failure; retry-after-failed-init for the extractor cache; and an empty-narrative observation indexing to count 1.Full suite: 1720 passed / 1 skipped.
tsc --noEmitunchanged at the 30 pre-existing errors (none in touched files).One reviewer-style suggestion I investigated and declined: replacing the factory-less
vi.doMock("@huggingface/transformers")in the package-unavailable tests with a factory that raisesERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND. Vitest wraps any factory throw/rejection in its own "error when mocking a module" error, discarding thecodethe provider's mapping keys on, so the explicit simulation is not expressible; the factory-less form (the repo's existing pattern for these tests) reliably produces the module-not-found path because the optional runtime is not in devDependencies. Documented in a comment at the test site.Independent of #1283 (local-by-default detection): the probe reports whatever provider resolves under current detection rules, and each PR merges cleanly without the other. Together they close the loop on #931's "embeddings silently absent" story.
