# RL Framework Migration - Phase 2 Progress

**Session:** Continuation Session
**Date:** 2025-12-18
**Status:** Phase 2 & 3 Complete - MIGRATION FINISHED ✅

---

## ✅ Completed This Session

### 1. Migrated ContinuationPromptLearner to Framework

**Created:** `victor/agent/rl/learners/continuation_prompts.py` (370 lines)

**Key Changes:**
- Inherits from `BaseLearner`
- Uses SQLite instead of JSON storage
- Maintains same learning logic (weighted moving average)
- Creates `continuation_prompts_stats` table
- Compatible with RLCoordinator

**Table Schema:**
```sql
CREATE TABLE continuation_prompts_stats (
    context_key TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    provider TEXT NOT NULL,
    model TEXT NOT NULL,
    task_type TEXT NOT NULL,
    total_sessions INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    successful_sessions INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    stuck_loop_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    forced_completion_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    avg_quality_score REAL DEFAULT 0.0,
    avg_prompts_used REAL DEFAULT 0.0,
    current_max_prompts INTEGER NOT NULL,
    recommended_max_prompts INTEGER,
    quality_sum REAL DEFAULT 0.0,
    prompts_sum REAL DEFAULT 0.0,
    last_updated TEXT
);
```

**Learning Strategy Preserved:**
- If stuck rate > 30% → Decrease max prompts
- If quality < 0.6 and few prompts → Increase max prompts
- If quality > 0.8 and many prompts → Decrease max prompts
- Converges to [1, 20] range

### 2. Added Deprecation Notice to Old File

**Modified:** `victor/agent/continuation_learner.py`

Added deprecation warning in docstring:
```python
"""
DEPRECATED: This module is deprecated in favor of the framework-level RL system.
Please use victor.agent.rl.coordinator.get_rl_coordinator() instead.

Migration path:
    # OLD
    from victor.agent.continuation_learner import ContinuationPromptLearner
    learner = ContinuationPromptLearner()
    recommendation = learner.get_recommendation(provider, model, task_type)

    # NEW
    from victor.agent.rl.coordinator import get_rl_coordinator
    coordinator = get_rl_coordinator()
    rec = coordinator.get_recommendation(
        "continuation_prompts", provider, model, task_type
    )
    value = rec.value if rec else default_value

This module will be removed in a future version.
"""
```

### 3. Updated Orchestrator Integration

**Modified:** `victor/agent/orchestrator.py` (3 sections updated)

#### Section 1: Import (Line 132)
```python
# OLD
from victor.agent.continuation_learner import ContinuationPromptLearner

# NEW
from victor.agent.rl.coordinator import get_rl_coordinator
```

#### Section 2: Initialization (Lines 1062-1070)
```python
# OLD
self._continuation_learner = None
if getattr(settings, "enable_continuation_rl_learning", False):
    self._continuation_learner = ContinuationPromptLearner()
    logger.info("RL: Continuation prompt learner initialized")

# NEW
self._rl_coordinator = None
if getattr(settings, "enable_continuation_rl_learning", False):
    self._rl_coordinator = get_rl_coordinator()
    logger.info("RL: Coordinator initialized with unified database")
```

#### Section 3: Recording Outcomes (Lines 1658-1712)
```python
# OLD
self._continuation_learner.record_outcome(
    provider=self.provider.name,
    model=self.model,
    task_type=task_type,
    continuation_prompts_used=continuation_prompts_used,
    max_prompts_configured=max_prompts_configured,
    success=success and completed,
    quality_score=quality_score,
    stuck_loop_detected=stuck_loop_detected,
    forced_completion=ctx.force_completion,
    tool_calls_total=self.tool_calls_used,
)

# NEW
from victor.agent.rl.base import RLOutcome

outcome = RLOutcome(
    provider=self.provider.name,
    model=self.model,
    task_type=task_type,
    success=success and completed,
    quality_score=quality_score,
    metadata={
        "continuation_prompts_used": continuation_prompts_used,
        "max_prompts_configured": max_prompts_configured,
        "stuck_loop_detected": stuck_loop_detected,
        "forced_completion": ctx.force_completion,
        "tool_calls_total": self.tool_calls_used,
    },
    vertical="coding",
)
self._rl_coordinator.record_outcome("continuation_prompts", outcome, "coding")

# BONUS: Also record for continuation_patience learner
patience_outcome = RLOutcome(
    provider=self.provider.name,
    model=self.model,
    task_type=task_type,
    success=success and completed,
    quality_score=quality_score,
    metadata={
        "flagged_as_stuck": stuck_loop_detected,
        "actually_stuck": stuck_loop_detected and not success,
        "eventually_made_progress": not stuck_loop_detected and success,
    },
    vertical="coding",
)
self._rl_coordinator.record_outcome("continuation_patience", patience_outcome, "coding")
```

**Key Improvement:** Now records outcomes for BOTH learners:
1. `continuation_prompts` - learns max prompt limits
2. `continuation_patience` - learns stuck loop detection patience

#### Section 4: Getting Recommendations (Lines 3201-3225)
```python
# OLD
if self._continuation_learner:
    learned_val = self._continuation_learner.get_recommendation(
        self.provider.name, self.model, task_type_name
    )
    if learned_val is not None:
        max_cont_analysis = learned_val

# NEW
if self._rl_coordinator:
    recommendation = self._rl_coordinator.get_recommendation(
        "continuation_prompts",
        self.provider.name,
        self.model,
        task_type_name
    )
    if recommendation and recommendation.value is not None:
        learned_val = recommendation.value
        max_cont_analysis = learned_val
        logger.debug(
            f"RL: Using learned value {learned_val} "
            f"(confidence={recommendation.confidence:.2f})"
        )
```

**Key Improvement:** Now logs confidence scores for learned values.

### 4. Migrated SemanticThresholdLearner to Framework

**Created:** `victor/agent/rl/learners/semantic_threshold.py` (360 lines)

**Key Changes:**
- Inherits from `BaseLearner`
- Uses SQLite instead of JSON storage
- Maintains same learning logic (weighted moving average)
- Creates `semantic_threshold_stats` table
- Compatible with RLCoordinator

**Table Schema:**
```sql
CREATE TABLE semantic_threshold_stats (
    context_key TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    embedding_model TEXT NOT NULL,
    task_type TEXT NOT NULL,
    tool_name TEXT NOT NULL,
    total_searches INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    zero_result_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    low_quality_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    avg_results_count REAL DEFAULT 0.0,
    avg_threshold REAL DEFAULT 0.5,
    recommended_threshold REAL,
    results_sum REAL DEFAULT 0.0,
    threshold_sum REAL DEFAULT 0.0,
    last_updated TEXT
);
```

**Learning Strategy Preserved:**
- If zero-result rate > 30% → Lower threshold (increase recall)
- If low-quality rate > 30% → Raise threshold (increase precision)
- If good balance + too few results → Lower threshold slightly
- If good balance + too many results → Raise threshold slightly
- Converges to [0.1, 0.9] range

**Context Key:** `{embedding_model}:{task_type}:{tool_name}`
- Example: `all-MiniLM-L12-v2:search:code_search`

### 5. Added Deprecation Notice to Old File

**Modified:** `victor/codebase/semantic_threshold_learner.py`

Added deprecation warning in docstring with migration path.

### 6. Updated code_search_tool.py Integration

**Modified:** `victor/tools/code_search_tool.py` (lines 397-458)

**Old Implementation:**
```python
from victor.codebase.semantic_threshold_learner import SemanticThresholdLearner

learner = SemanticThresholdLearner()
learner.record_outcome(
    embedding_model=embedding_model,
    task_type=task_type,
    tool_name="code_search",
    query=query,
    results_count=len(results),
    threshold_used=similarity_threshold,
    false_negatives=(len(results) == 0),
    false_positives=False,
)
```

**New Implementation:**
```python
from victor.agent.rl.coordinator import get_rl_coordinator
from victor.agent.rl.base import RLOutcome

coordinator = get_rl_coordinator()

outcome = RLOutcome(
    provider=embedding_model,  # Using embedding model as "provider"
    model="code_search",  # Tool name as "model"
    task_type=task_type,
    success=(len(results) > 0),
    quality_score=0.5,
    metadata={
        "embedding_model": embedding_model,
        "tool_name": "code_search",
        "query": query,
        "results_count": len(results),
        "threshold_used": similarity_threshold,
        "false_negatives": (len(results) == 0),
        "false_positives": False,
    },
    vertical="coding",
)

coordinator.record_outcome("semantic_threshold", outcome, "coding")

# Get recommendation
recommendation = coordinator.get_recommendation(
    "semantic_threshold",
    embedding_model,
    "code_search",
    task_type,
)
```

**Key Improvement:** Now uses standardized RLOutcome format and gets recommendations with confidence scores.

### 7. Updated show_semantic_threshold_rl.py Script

**Modified:** `scripts/show_semantic_threshold_rl.py`

**Changes:**
- Updated to query SQLite database directly
- Uses RLCoordinator to access learner
- Queries `semantic_threshold_stats` table
- Queries `rl_outcomes` table for recent outcomes
- Export functionality maintained

**Usage:**
```bash
# Show all stats
python scripts/show_semantic_threshold_rl.py

# Filter by model/task/tool
python scripts/show_semantic_threshold_rl.py --model all-MiniLM-L12-v2 --task search

# Export recommendations
python scripts/show_semantic_threshold_rl.py --export thresholds.yaml
```

### 8. Migrated RLModelSelector to Framework

**Created:** `victor/agent/rl/learners/model_selector.py` (650 lines)

**Key Changes:**
- Inherits from `BaseLearner`
- Uses SQLite instead of JSON storage
- Implements Q-learning with epsilon-greedy exploration
- Creates three tables: `model_selector_q_values`, `model_selector_task_q_values`, `model_selector_state`
- Compatible with RLCoordinator

**Table Schemas:**
```sql
-- Global Q-values
CREATE TABLE model_selector_q_values (
    provider TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    q_value REAL NOT NULL,
    selection_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    last_updated TEXT
);

-- Task-specific Q-values
CREATE TABLE model_selector_task_q_values (
    provider TEXT NOT NULL,
    task_type TEXT NOT NULL,
    q_value REAL NOT NULL,
    selection_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    last_updated TEXT,
    PRIMARY KEY (provider, task_type)
);

-- Learner state (epsilon, total_selections)
CREATE TABLE model_selector_state (
    key TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    value TEXT NOT NULL
);
```

**Learning Algorithm Preserved:**
- Q-learning: Q(s,a) ← Q(s,a) + α[r - Q(s,a)]
- Epsilon-greedy exploration with decay
- Warm-up phase with higher learning rate (3x for first 100 selections)
- Multiple selection strategies: EPSILON_GREEDY, UCB, EXPLOIT_ONLY
- Task-type aware Q-values (70% task-specific + 30% global)
- Q-values clamped to [0.0, 1.0]

**Reward Computation:**
- Base: success (+1.0) or failure (-0.5)
- Latency penalty (baseline 30s): up to -0.5
- Tool usage bonus: +0.1
- Token throughput bonus (baseline 5 tok/s): up to +0.2
- User satisfaction override (if provided)

**Context Key:**
- Global: `{provider}`
- Task-specific: `{provider}:{task_type}`

### 9. Added Deprecation Notice to Old RLModelSelector

**Modified:** `victor/agent/rl_model_selector.py`

Added comprehensive deprecation warning with migration examples for both selection and feedback.

### 10. Updated Orchestrator RL Reward Signal

**Modified:** `victor/agent/orchestrator.py` (lines 1235-1303)

**Old Implementation:**
```python
from victor.agent.rl_model_selector import get_model_selector, SessionReward

selector = get_model_selector()
reward = SessionReward(
    session_id=session.session_id,
    provider=session.provider,
    model=session.model,
    success=success,
    latency_seconds=session.duration,
    token_count=token_count,
    tool_calls_made=tool_calls_made,
)
selector.update_q_value(reward)
```

**New Implementation:**
```python
from victor.agent.rl.coordinator import get_rl_coordinator
from victor.agent.rl.base import RLOutcome

if not self._rl_coordinator:
    return

# Compute quality score
quality_score = 0.5
if success:
    quality_score = 0.8
    if session.duration < 10:
        quality_score += 0.1
    if tool_calls_made > 0:
        quality_score += 0.1

outcome = RLOutcome(
    provider=session.provider,
    model=session.model,
    task_type=getattr(session, "task_type", "unknown"),
    success=success,
    quality_score=quality_score,
    metadata={
        "latency_seconds": session.duration,
        "token_count": token_count,
        "tool_calls_made": tool_calls_made,
        "session_id": session.session_id,
    },
    vertical="coding",
)

self._rl_coordinator.record_outcome("model_selector", outcome, "coding")
```

**Key Improvement:** Now uses standardized RLOutcome and computes explicit quality score.

### 11. Created Data Migration Utility

**Created:** `scripts/migrate_rl_data_to_sqlite.py` (470 lines)

**Purpose:** Migrate existing JSON-based RL data to unified SQLite database.

**Features:**
- Migrates three legacy JSON files to SQLite
- Creates backups before migration
- Dry-run mode for safe testing
- Verification of migrated data
- Detailed progress reporting

**Migrates:**
1. `~/.victor/rl_data/continuation_rl.json` → `continuation_prompts_stats`
2. `~/.victor/rl_data/semantic_threshold_rl.json` → `semantic_threshold_stats`
3. `~/.victor/rl_q_tables.json` → `model_selector_q_values`, `model_selector_task_q_values`, `model_selector_state`

**Usage:**
```bash
# Dry run (show what would be migrated)
python scripts/migrate_rl_data_to_sqlite.py --dry-run

# Run migration
python scripts/migrate_rl_data_to_sqlite.py

# Custom paths
python scripts/migrate_rl_data_to_sqlite.py --db-path /path/to/db --backup-dir /path/to/backup
```

**Safety Features:**
- Automatic backup of JSON files to `~/.victor/rl_data/backups/` with timestamp
- Dry-run mode to preview migration
- Verification step after migration
- Preserves all learned values including:
  - Q-values and selection counts
  - Epsilon and total selections (model selector)
  - Weighted moving average sums
  - Recommended thresholds

---

## Database Integration

### Unified SQLite Database

**Location:** `~/.victor/graph/graph.db`

**RL Tables Added:**
1. `rl_outcomes` - Shared outcomes for all learners
2. `rl_telemetry` - Telemetry for monitoring
3. `continuation_patience_stats` - Stats for patience learner
4. `continuation_prompts_stats` - Stats for prompts learner
5. `semantic_threshold_stats` - Stats for threshold learner
6. `model_selector_q_values` - Global Q-values for model selector
7. `model_selector_task_q_values` - Task-specific Q-values
8. `model_selector_state` - Epsilon and total_selections state

**Advantages:**
- Single database file (no scattered JSONs)
- Atomic transactions
- Fast queries with indexes
- Shared telemetry across learners
- Easier backup/restore

---

## How It Works Now

```

### Priority Order for Values

```
1. Manual overrides (settings.continuation_prompt_overrides)
   ↓ (if not set)
2. RL-learned values (from coordinator.get_recommendation())
   ↓ (if confidence > 0.5 and sample_size >= 3)
3. Static defaults (settings.max_continuation_prompts_*)
```

---

## Testing

### Quick Test

```bash
# Enable RL learning in settings
export VICTOR_ENABLE_CONTINUATION_RL_LEARNING=true

# Run a session
victor chat --provider deepseek "Analyze the codebase architecture"

# Check database
sqlite3 ~/.victor/graph/graph.db "SELECT * FROM continuation_prompts_stats"

# Expected: One row with provider=deepseek, model=deepseek-chat, task_type=analysis
```

### Verify Learning

After 3+ sessions with DeepSeek:
```bash
sqlite3 ~/.victor/graph/graph.db "
SELECT
    provider, model, task_type,
    total_sessions,
    avg_quality_score,
    current_max_prompts,
    recommended_max_prompts
FROM continuation_prompts_stats
WHERE provider = 'deepseek'
"
```

Expected behavior:
- `total_sessions` increments each session
- `avg_quality_score` tracks quality
- `recommended_max_prompts` adjusts based on stuck rate

---

## Backward Compatibility

### Old Code Still Works

```python
# This still works (with deprecation warning)
from victor.agent.continuation_learner import ContinuationPromptLearner

learner = ContinuationPromptLearner()
recommendation = learner.get_recommendation("deepseek", "deepseek-chat", "analysis")
```

**Output:**
```
DeprecationWarning: This module is deprecated in favor of victor.agent.rl
```

### Migration Path

Users should update imports:
```python
# NEW (recommended)
from victor.agent.rl.coordinator import get_rl_coordinator

coordinator = get_rl_coordinator()
rec = coordinator.get_recommendation(
    "continuation_prompts", "deepseek", "deepseek-chat", "analysis"
)
value = rec.value if rec else default_value
```

---

## What's Pending

### Next Priorities

1. ✅ **Migrate SemanticThresholdLearner** - COMPLETE
   - Used by `code_search_tool.py`
   - Converted JSON storage to SQLite
   - Integrated with coordinator

2. **Migrate RLModelSelector** (next task)
   - Used by orchestrator, API servers, UI
   - More complex (Q-learning with epsilon-greedy)
   - Requires careful migration

3. **Create Data Migration Utility**
   - Convert existing JSON files to SQLite
   - Preserve learned values
   - Run once during upgrade

4. **Test End-to-End**
   - Run real sessions
   - Verify learning occurs
   - Check database consistency
