## 📊 Consolidation Workflow (Active → Shortterm)

### Overview

The `_consolidate_to_shortterm` method now includes:
1. Chunk creation and embedding
2. **Entity/relationship extraction using ER Extractor Agent**
3. **Auto-resolution logic** for merging entities
4. Storage in Neo4j graph database

### Auto-Resolution Algorithm

Implements the algorithm from `docs/memory-architecture.md`:

```python
# For each extracted entity:
if existing_entity_found:
    # Calculate metrics
    similarity = calculate_semantic_similarity(extracted, existing)
    overlap = calculate_entity_overlap(extracted, existing)
    
    # Auto-resolution criteria
    if similarity >= 0.85 and overlap >= 0.7:
        # MERGE: Update existing entity
        update_entity(confidence=max(existing.confidence, extracted.confidence))
    else:
        # CONFLICT: Create new entity (manual merge required)
        create_entity(metadata={"conflict_with": existing.id})
else:
    # CREATE: New entity
    create_entity()
```

### Semantic Similarity Calculation

```python
async def _calculate_semantic_similarity(text1, text2) -> float:
    """Calculate cosine similarity using embeddings."""
    emb1 = await embedding_service.get_embedding(text1)
    emb2 = await embedding_service.get_embedding(text2)
    
    similarity = dot(emb1, emb2) / (norm(emb1) * norm(emb2))
    return similarity  # 0.0-1.0
```

### Entity Overlap Calculation

```python
def _calculate_entity_overlap(entity1, entity2) -> float:
    """Calculate overlap based on name and type matching."""
    name_match = entity1.name.lower() == entity2.name.lower()
    type_match = entity1.type == entity2.type
    
    if name_match and type_match:
        return 1.0  # Perfect match
    elif name_match or type_match:
        return 0.5  # Partial match
    else:
        return 0.0  # No match
```

### Workflow Details

```python
async def _consolidate_to_shortterm(external_id, active_memory_id):
    # 1. Get active memory
    active_memory = await active_repo.get_by_id(active_memory_id)
    
    # 2. Create/find shortterm memory
    shortterm_memory = await find_or_create_shortterm_memory(...)
    
    # 3. Extract and chunk content
    content = extract_content_from_sections(active_memory)
    chunks = chunk_text(content, chunk_size, overlap)
    
    # 4. Store chunks with embeddings
    for chunk in chunks:
        embedding = await embedding_service.get_embedding(chunk)
        await shortterm_repo.create_chunk(...)
    
    # 5. Extract entities/relationships using ER Extractor Agent
    extraction_result = await er_extractor_agent.run(content)
    
    # 6. Get existing entities for comparison
    existing_entities = await shortterm_repo.get_entities_by_memory_id(...)
    
    # 7. Process entities with auto-resolution
    entity_map = {}
    for extracted_entity in extraction_result.data.entities:
        existing_match = find_matching_entity(extracted_entity, existing_entities)
        
        if existing_match:
            # Apply auto-resolution logic
            similarity = await calculate_semantic_similarity(...)
            overlap = calculate_entity_overlap(...)
            
            if similarity >= 0.85 and overlap >= 0.7:
                # Merge
                updated = await shortterm_repo.update_entity(...)
                entity_map[extracted_entity.name] = updated.id
            else:
                # Conflict - create new
                created = await shortterm_repo.create_entity(
                    metadata={"conflict_with": existing_match.id}
                )
                entity_map[extracted_entity.name] = created.id
        else:
            # No match - create new
            created = await shortterm_repo.create_entity(...)
            entity_map[extracted_entity.name] = created.id
    
    # 8. Create relationships
    for rel in extraction_result.data.relationships:
        from_id = entity_map.get(rel.source)
        to_id = entity_map.get(rel.target)
        if from_id and to_id:
            await shortterm_repo.create_relationship(...)
```

## 📈 Promotion Workflow (Shortterm → Longterm)

### Overview

The `_promote_to_longterm` method now includes:
1. Chunk promotion with importance filtering
2. **Entity promotion with confidence updates**
3. **Relationship promotion with temporal tracking**
4. Proper handling of start_date and end_date

### Confidence Update Formula

From `docs/memory-architecture.md`:

```python
weight = 0.7  # Favor existing confidence
new_confidence = weight * existing_confidence + (1 - weight) * new_evidence

# Example:
# existing_confidence = 0.8
# new_evidence = 0.9
# new_confidence = 0.7 * 0.8 + 0.3 * 0.9 = 0.56 + 0.27 = 0.83
```

### Importance Calculation

```python
def _calculate_importance(entity) -> float:
    """Calculate importance for promotion decision."""
    base_score = entity.confidence
    
    # Type-based multipliers
    multipliers = {
        "PERSON": 1.2,
        "ORGANIZATION": 1.2,
        "TECHNOLOGY": 1.15,
        "CONCEPT": 1.1,
        "PROJECT": 1.1,
        "FRAMEWORK": 1.1,
        "LIBRARY": 1.05,
        "TOOL": 1.05,
        "DATABASE": 1.05,
    }
    
    multiplier = multipliers.get(entity.type, 1.0)
    importance = base_score * multiplier
    
    return min(importance, 1.0)  # Cap at 1.0
```

### Temporal Tracking

```python
# Longterm chunks
create_chunk(
    start_date=datetime.utcnow(),
    end_date=None,  # Currently valid
    ...
)

# Longterm relationships
create_relationship(
    start_date=datetime.utcnow(),
    last_updated=datetime.utcnow(),
    ...
)
```

### Workflow Details

```python
async def _promote_to_longterm(external_id, shortterm_memory_id):
    # 1. Get and filter chunks by importance
    shortterm_chunks = await shortterm_repo.get_chunks_by_memory_id(...)
    
    # 2. Promote chunks to longterm
    for chunk in shortterm_chunks:
        importance = chunk.metadata.get("importance_score", 0.75)
        
        if importance >= promotion_threshold:
            await longterm_repo.create_chunk(
                start_date=datetime.utcnow(),
                end_date=None,  # Currently valid

    # 3. Get shortterm entities
    shortterm_entities = await shortterm_repo.get_entities_by_memory_id(...)
    
    # 4. Get existing longterm entities for comparison
    longterm_entities = await longterm_repo.get_entities_by_external_id(...)
    
    # 5. Process entities
    entity_id_map = {}  # shortterm_id -> longterm_id
    for st_entity in shortterm_entities:

            weight = 0.7

                weight * lt_match.confidence + 
                (1 - weight) * st_entity.confidence
            )

            )

        else:
            # Create new longterm entity
            importance = calculate_importance(st_entity)
            
            created = await longterm_repo.create_entity(
                name=st_entity.name,
                entity_type=st_entity.type,
                confidence=st_entity.confidence,
                importance=importance,
                first_seen=datetime.utcnow(),
                last_seen=datetime.utcnow(),
                ...
            )
            entity_id_map[st_entity.id] = created.id
    
    # 6. Promote relationships with temporal tracking
    shortterm_relationships = await shortterm_repo.get_relationships_by_memory_id(...)
    
    for st_rel in shortterm_relationships:
        from_lt_id = entity_id_map.get(st_rel.from_entity_id)
        to_lt_id = entity_id_map.get(st_rel.to_entity_id)
        
        if from_lt_id and to_lt_id:
