Documentation
# Neural Trader Memory Systems

High-performance memory systems for multi-agent coordination in neural-trader.

## Architecture

### Three-Tier Memory Hierarchy

1. **L1: Hot Cache** (`cache/hot.rs`)
   - Lock-free concurrent hashmap with DashMap
   - Sub-microsecond lookup (<1μs p99)
   - LRU eviction policy
   - Thread-safe without locks

2. **L2: Vector Database** (`agentdb/`)
   - AgentDB integration for semantic search
   - HNSW indexing (150x faster than linear scan)
   - <1ms vector search (p95)
   - Persistent storage

3. **L3: Cold Storage** (`agentdb/storage.rs`)
   - Sled embedded database
   - Long-term persistence
   - Automatic tiering from L1/L2

## Features

### ReasoningBank (`reasoningbank/`)

- **Trajectory Tracking**: Record agent decision paths
- **Verdict Judgment**: Compare predicted vs actual outcomes
- **Memory Distillation**: Compress and extract patterns
- **Feedback Loops**: Continuous learning from experience

### Cross-Agent Coordination (`coordination/`)

- **Pub/Sub Messaging**: Topic-based agent communication
- **Distributed Locks**: Prevent race conditions in critical sections
- **Consensus Engine**: Raft-inspired voting for decisions
- **Namespace Management**: Isolated agent state (`swarm/[agent-id]/[key]`)

## Performance Targets

| Component | Target | Status |
|-----------|--------|--------|
| L1 Cache Lookup | <1μs ||
| Vector Search | <1ms (p95) ||
| Position Lookup | <100ns (p99) ||
| Memory Footprint | <1GB/1M obs ||
| Cross-Agent Latency | <5ms ||

## Usage

### Basic Operations

```rust
use nt_memory::*;

// Initialize memory system
let config = MemoryConfig::default();
let memory = MemorySystem::new(config).await?;

// Store data
memory.put("agent_1", "position", position_data).await?;

// Retrieve data (tries L1 -> L2 -> L3)
let data = memory.get("agent_1", "position").await?;

// Semantic search
let results = memory.search_similar(
    "agent_1",
    query_embedding,
    top_k: 10
).await?;
```

### Trajectory Tracking

```rust
// Create trajectory
let mut trajectory = Trajectory::new("agent_1".to_string());

trajectory.add_observation(
    serde_json::json!({"price": 100.0}),
    Some(embedding_vector)
);

trajectory.add_action(
    "buy".to_string(),
    serde_json::json!({"quantity": 10}),
    predicted_outcome: Some(110.0)
);

trajectory.add_outcome(105.0);

// Track it
memory.track_trajectory(trajectory).await?;
```

### Cross-Agent Communication

```rust
// Subscribe to agent messages
let mut rx = memory.subscribe("agent_1/updates").await?;

// Publish message
memory.publish("agent_1/updates", message).await?;

// Receive
let msg = rx.recv().await?;
```

### Distributed Locks

```rust
// Acquire lock
let token = memory.acquire_lock(
    "shared_resource",
    timeout: Duration::from_secs(1)
).await?;

// Critical section
// ...

// Release lock
memory.release_lock(&token).await?;
```

### Consensus Voting

```rust
// Submit proposal
let proposal = Proposal {
    id: String::new(),
    proposer: "agent_1".to_string(),
    data: serde_json::json!({"action": "rebalance"}),
    quorum: 0.67, // Need 2/3 approval
};

let proposal_id = memory.consensus.submit_proposal(proposal).await;

// Vote
let result = memory.consensus.vote(Vote {
    proposal_id: proposal_id.clone(),
    voter: "agent_2".to_string(),
    approve: true,
    weight: 1.0,
}).await?;

// Check result
match result {
    ConsensusResult::Approved => println!("Consensus reached!"),
    ConsensusResult::Rejected => println!("Proposal rejected"),
    ConsensusResult::Pending { .. } => println!("Waiting for more votes"),
}
```

## Integration with Other Agents

### Agent 2: MCP Tools
```rust
// Cache MCP tool results
memory.put("mcp_cache", "tool_result_123", result).await?;
```

### Agent 3: Broker Interactions
```rust
// Log broker state
memory.track_trajectory(broker_trajectory).await?;
```

### Agent 4: Neural Models

// Version model weights
memory.put("models", "strategy_v1", model_weights).await?;
```

### Agent 5: Strategy Performance

// Track strategy metrics
memory.put("strategies", "momentum_stats", stats).await?;
```

### Agent 6: Risk Metrics
```rust
// Store risk calculations
memory.put("risk", "var_calculation", var_data).await?;
```

### Agent 7: Multi-Market State
```rust
// Coordinate across markets
let lock = memory.acquire_lock("market_sync", timeout).await?;
// ... synchronize state ...
memory.release_lock(&lock).await?;
```

### Agent 9: Distributed Systems
```rust
// Swarm coordination
memory.publish("swarm/coordination", message).await?;
let mut rx = memory.subscribe("swarm/coordination").await?;
```

### Agent 10: Test Results

// Store test outcomes
memory.put("tests", "backtest_results", results).await?;
```

## Configuration

```rust
let config = MemoryConfig {
    cache_config: CacheConfig {
        max_entries: 100_000,
        ttl: Duration::from_secs(3600),
        track_access: true,
    },
    agentdb_url: "http://localhost:3000".to_string(),
    storage_path: "./data/memory".to_string(),
    enable_compression: true,
    max_memory_bytes: 1_073_741_824, // 1GB
