Alex Newman 36b0929fae Server-beta: Postgres storage + independent runtime + BullMQ queue (Phases 1–3) (#2351)
* Add server beta runtime foundation

* Address server beta review findings

* Resolve server beta review comments

* Tighten server beta review follow-ups

* Harden server beta auth and search

* Avoid unnecessary FTS rebuilds

* Block scoped keys from creating projects

* Release BullMQ claims best effort on close

* Address server beta review blockers

* Reset BullMQ claims best effort

* Add Postgres observation storage foundation

* feat(server-beta): add independent runtime service

Introduce src/server/runtime/ as a self-contained server-beta runtime
that owns its lifecycle, Postgres bootstrap, and HTTP boundary without
depending on WorkerService.

ServerBetaService wraps the existing Server class, exposes
/healthz and /v1/info with runtime="server-beta", and persists state
to dedicated paths (.server-beta.pid|.port|.runtime.json). The four
boundary managers (queue, generation worker, provider registry, event
broadcaster) are intentionally disabled in this phase and report their
status through /v1/info; later phases activate them.

Adds plans/2026-05-07-finish-bullmq-branch-ship-plan.md to track the
remaining work for this branch.

* feat(server-beta): route CLI lifecycle and bundle separate runtime

scripts/build-hooks.js now produces plugin/scripts/server-beta-service.cjs
as a separate Node CJS bundle, alongside the existing worker-service
bundle. The server-beta runtime is now installable independently.

src/npx-cli/commands/server.ts routes start|stop|restart|status to the
server-beta lifecycle instead of the legacy worker. The worker keeps its
own start|stop|restart|status under the worker namespace; the two
runtimes can be operated independently.

src/services/worker-service.ts adds a server-* command parser branch
that delegates to the sibling server-beta-service.cjs bundle so
direct worker-service invocations still route to the right runtime.

tests/npx-cli-server-namespace.test.ts updated to expect server-beta
lifecycle routing.

Includes rebuilt plugin/scripts/*.cjs bundles produced by
build-and-sync.

* feat(server-beta): add BullMQ job queue primitives

Introduce src/server/jobs/ as the queue-side primitives that Phase 3 of
the server-beta runtime needs to operate.

types.ts defines a discriminated union over the four job kinds (event,
event-batch, summary, reindex) and maps each to a per-kind BullMQ queue
name and deterministic-ID prefix.

job-id.ts builds deterministic, colon-free BullMQ jobIds from
(kind, team, project, source). The colon ban exists because BullMQ uses
':' as a Redis key separator internally; embedding ':' in jobIds
breaks scan and state lookups.

ServerJobQueue.ts is a thin wrapper over BullMQ Queue + Worker that
enforces autorun:false, default concurrency 1, and an attached error
listener — all per BullMQ docs requirements. Test seams accept queue
and worker factories so unit tests do not need Redis.

outbox.ts publishes through the Postgres ObservationGenerationJob
repository as canonical history. enqueueOutbox writes the row first,
then publishes to BullMQ; if BullMQ throws, the row is transitioned to
failed and a failed event is appended. reconcileOnStartup re-enqueues
queued + processing rows after a restart, replacing terminal BullMQ
jobs that may still be holding the deterministic ID slot. markCompleted
and markFailed wrap transitionStatus and append the matching event row.

Includes 20 unit tests covering deterministic ID stability, colon-free
output, queue lifecycle, error-listener attachment, double-start
refusal, idempotent enqueue, BullMQ failure rollback, startup
reconciliation, max-attempts skipping, and completion / failure /
retry transitions.

Phase 3 commit 1 of plans/2026-05-07-server-beta-independent-bullmq-observation-runtime.md.

* feat(server-beta): activate queue boundary in runtime service

Wire ActiveServerBetaQueueManager into the server-beta runtime graph.
The active manager owns one ServerJobQueue per generation kind (event,
event-batch, summary, reindex) and surfaces lane metadata through
boundary health.

Selection is opt-in and fail-fast: if CLAUDE_MEM_QUEUE_ENGINE is set to
bullmq the active manager is constructed (and any Redis/config error
throws — no silent fallback to SQLite, per Phase 3 anti-pattern guard).
For any other engine the disabled boundary remains so worker-era and
test setups stay compatible.

Widens ServerBetaBoundaryHealth.status to a discriminated union
('disabled' | 'active' | 'errored') with optional details. The disabled
adapter still emits status='disabled', which keeps the existing
server-beta-service test green.

ServerBetaService receives the manager through a new optional
queueManager field on CreateServerBetaServiceOptions so test graphs
and Phase 4 wiring can inject custom managers.

Adds tests/server/runtime/active-queue-manager.test.ts covering bullmq
guard, active health shape, per-kind queue access, close behavior, and
post-close errored health.

Phase 3 commit 2 of plans/2026-05-07-server-beta-independent-bullmq-observation-runtime.md.

Ragtime

Email Investigation Batch Processor using Claude-mem's email-investigation mode.

Overview

Ragtime processes email corpus files through Claude, using the email-investigation mode for entity/relationship/timeline extraction. Each file gets a NEW session - context is managed by Claude-mem's context injection hook, not by conversation continuation.

Features

  • Email-investigation mode - Specialized observation types for entities, relationships, timeline events, anomalies
  • Self-iterating loop - Each file processed in a new session
  • Transcript cleanup - Automatic cleanup prevents buildup of old transcripts
  • Configurable - All paths and settings via environment variables

Usage

# Basic usage (expects corpus in datasets/epstein-mode/)
bun ragtime/ragtime.ts

# With custom corpus path
RAGTIME_CORPUS_PATH=/path/to/emails bun ragtime/ragtime.ts

# Limit files for testing
RAGTIME_FILE_LIMIT=5 bun ragtime/ragtime.ts

Configuration

Environment Variable Default Description
RAGTIME_CORPUS_PATH ./datasets/epstein-mode Path to folder containing .md email files
RAGTIME_PLUGIN_PATH ./plugin Path to claude-mem plugin
CLAUDE_MEM_WORKER_PORT 37777 Worker service port
RAGTIME_TRANSCRIPT_MAX_AGE 24 Max age of transcripts to keep (hours)
RAGTIME_PROJECT_NAME ragtime-investigation Project name for grouping
RAGTIME_FILE_LIMIT 0 Limit files to process (0 = all)
RAGTIME_SESSION_DELAY 2000 Delay between sessions (ms)

Corpus Format

The corpus directory should contain markdown files with email content. Files are processed in numeric order based on the first number in the filename:

datasets/epstein-mode/
  0001.md
  0002.md
  0003.md
  ...

Each markdown file should contain a single email or document to analyze.

How It Works

  1. Startup: Sets CLAUDE_MEM_MODE=email-investigation and cleans up old transcripts
  2. Processing: For each file:
    • Starts a NEW Claude session (no continuation)
    • Claude reads the file and analyzes entities, relationships, timeline events
    • Claude-mem's context injection hook provides relevant past observations
    • Worker processes and stores new observations
  3. Cleanup: Periodic and final transcript cleanup prevents buildup
