🔧 Technical Achievements
1. Controller API Migration (ReflexionMemory)
Problem: Controllers used SQLite APIs (db.prepare()) incompatible with GraphDatabase
Solution: Implemented GraphDatabaseAdapter detection and specialized methods
Changes:
- Added GraphDatabaseAdapter import
- Implemented
storeEpisode()detection:'storeEpisode' in this.graphBackend - Implemented
searchSimilarEpisodes()for vector similarity - Maintained backward compatibility with SQLite
Code:
// GraphDatabaseAdapter detection
if (this.graphBackend && 'storeEpisode' in this.graphBackend) {
const graphAdapter = this.graphBackend as any as GraphDatabaseAdapter;
const nodeId = await graphAdapter.storeEpisode({
sessionId,
task,
reward,
success,
// ...
}, taskEmbedding);
}
Result: ✅ reflexion-learning scenario now 100% operational
