Module core 

Cross-cutting primitives shared by every post-cortex crate.

Hosts the cache LRU helpers, the context_update data model, the error hierarchy (SystemError + Result), the structured_context projection types, and the timeout_utils retry helpers. Pure domain primitives shared by every post-cortex crate.

After Phase 3 the orchestrator (memory_system, content_vectorizer, semantic_query_engine, query_cache, context_assembly, scoring, performance) lives in post-cortex-memory; the embedding engines + HNSW index live in post-cortex-embeddings; the storage backends live in post-cortex-storage. What remains here is transport-/IO-free domain logic.

Modules

cache

Generic LRU cache primitives used across the workspace. Lock-free LRU cache backed by DashMap with atomic metrics

context_update

Context-update data model — ContextUpdate, EntityData, EntityRelationship, UpdateType, and supporting types. Core data types for context updates, entities, and relationships

error

Typed system error hierarchy and Result<T> alias. Typed error handling for the Post-Cortex system

structured_context

Structured projection types over a session’s update history. Structured context types for organizing conversation knowledge.

timeout_utils

Retry + timeout helpers (with_storage_timeout, with_mcp_timeout). Timeout utilities with exponential backoff retry support
