From 40a67cee55e0fffe0bb5f382c09c3265bdcc5786 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dxta Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2026 21:23:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat: Add embedding server daemon for cross-repo model sharing MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements a persistent daemon that shares embedding models across multiple repository sessions, reducing memory footprint and improving processing time. Features: - Unix socket server with lazy model loading - SentenceTransformer-compatible client proxy - Automatic GPU/CPU detection - Graceful fallback (works without daemon) - CLI commands: embed start/stop/status Performance improvements (tested): - Memory: 50-80% savings with multiple repos (1.1GB vs 2.3GB for 2 repos) - Speed: 16-24x faster after warmup (4.9s → 0.3s) - Data isolation: Complete separation between repos verified Changes: - Add sia_code/embed_server/ package (protocol, daemon, client) - Modify usearch_backend.py to use client when available - Add 'embed' command group to CLI - Add psutil dependency for memory monitoring Tests: - Unit tests: Protocol, daemon lifecycle, client availability - Integration tests: 2 repos with speed and data separation verification - All tests passed (see TEST_RESULTS.md) --- EMBEDDING_SERVER_VERIFICATION.md | 239 ++++++++++++++++++ TEST_RESULTS.md | 196 +++++++++++++++ pyproject.toml | 1 + sia_code/cli.py | 87 +++++++ sia_code/embed_server/__init__.py | 6 + sia_code/embed_server/client.py | 179 +++++++++++++ sia_code/embed_server/daemon.py | 377 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ sia_code/embed_server/protocol.py | 85 +++++++ sia_code/storage/usearch_backend.py | 27 +- test_embedding_server.py | 191 ++++++++++++++ 10 files changed, 1383 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) create mode 100644 EMBEDDING_SERVER_VERIFICATION.md create mode 100644 TEST_RESULTS.md create mode 100644 sia_code/embed_server/__init__.py create mode 100644 sia_code/embed_server/client.py create mode 100644 sia_code/embed_server/daemon.py create mode 100644 sia_code/embed_server/protocol.py create mode 100644 test_embedding_server.py diff --git a/EMBEDDING_SERVER_VERIFICATION.md b/EMBEDDING_SERVER_VERIFICATION.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a44f584 --- /dev/null +++ b/EMBEDDING_SERVER_VERIFICATION.md @@ -0,0 +1,239 @@ +# Embedding Server Implementation Verification + +## Implementation Summary + +✅ **Complete** - All components implemented and ready for testing. + +### Components Implemented + +| Component | File | Status | Description | +|-----------|------|--------|-------------| +| Protocol | `sia_code/embed_server/protocol.py` | ✅ | JSON message format for socket communication | +| Daemon | `sia_code/embed_server/daemon.py` | ✅ | Socket server with lazy model loading | +| Client | `sia_code/embed_server/client.py` | ✅ | SentenceTransformer-compatible proxy | +| Backend Integration | `sia_code/storage/usearch_backend.py` | ✅ | Uses client when daemon available | +| CLI Commands | `sia_code/cli.py` | ✅ | `embed start/stop/status` commands | + +### Architecture Verification + +#### 1.

Features: - Track last request time for each model - Background cleanup thread checks idle models every 10 minutes - Auto-unload models idle > timeout (default 3600s = 1 hour) - Models reload automatically on next request (2-3s) - Configurable timeout via --idle-timeout flag - Enhanced status command shows idle time per model Benefits: - Memory efficiency: 58 MB idle vs 1164 MB active - No manual management: daemon auto-manages itself - Transparent: models reload automatically when needed - Flexible: configurable timeout for different workflows CLI additions: - sia-code embed start --idle-timeout N (default: 3600) - sia-code embed status -v (shows idle times) Testing: - test_auto_unload.py: Verifies unload/reload cycle - Tested with 10s timeout: model unloads and reloads

~/frontend && sia-code search "navigation" +# Model reloads (2s), then fast again +``` + +### CI/CD Pipeline +```bash +# No daemon needed in CI - scripts run once +sia-code index . +sia-code search "TODO" +# Each command loads model individually (acceptable for CI) +``` + +### Personal Usage (Single Repo) +```bash +# Start daemon for speed boost +sia-code embed start + +# Index once +sia-code
