symfonic.core.learning.policy

policy

Moved to :mod:symfonic.capabilities.memory.policy.

The learning policy configures the consolidation roster, so it lives with the roster in the capability and is imported back here for the shipped consolidator and its tests to keep using. One value object, two spellings: as_kwargs for this route and as_phase_kwargs for the kernel one.

LearningPolicy dataclass

LearningPolicy(lookback_hours: int = 24, promotion_min_pattern_count: int = 3, promotion_recency_days: int = 30, promotion_max_drafts_per_run: int = 5, promotion_use_tool_calls_fallback: bool = False, promotion_promote_assistant_content: bool = False, phase_12_use_llm_extractor: bool = False, phase_12_llm_model: str = 'claude-haiku-4-5', phase_12_llm_max_episodes_per_run: int = 100, phase_12_llm_max_drafts_per_run: int = 5, episodic_summarization_max_entries: int = 100, episodic_summarization_batch_size: int = 50, phase1_spreading_weight: float = 0.5, synthetic_link_min_co_count: int = 2, enable_entity_linker: bool = False, entity_linker_extractor_kind: str = 'regex', entity_linker_min_mention_count: int = 2, entity_linker_max_episodics_per_run: int = 200, entity_linker_confidence_threshold: float = 0.5)

What a consolidation run should promote, summarise and link.

Frozen: a run reads its policy once, and one that could change mid-pass would produce a result nobody can reproduce.

as_kwargs

as_kwargs() -> dict[str, Any]

The keyword arguments a consolidation run takes.

One call site instead of nineteen. Every getattr(config, name, default) it replaces was a place the framework's default and the template's copy could drift apart with nothing to notice.

as_phase_kwargs

as_phase_kwargs() -> dict[str, Any]

The same knobs, named as the phase factories name them.

A translation table rather than a rename, because the two vocabularies are genuinely different: the shipped consolidator takes nineteen keyword arguments on one constructor, and the factories take them where the phase that reads each one is built. Written once, here, next to the fields it maps -- a worker doing this inline would be a second copy of every default in the place this class exists to remove them from.

enable_entity_linker and phase_12_use_llm_extractor are absent on purpose: in the factories a phase runs when it was given the collaborator it needs, so "enabled" is not a flag but the presence of an extractor. A deployment that set the flag and composed nothing would otherwise have a phase that reports zero rather than declining.

from_settings classmethod

from_settings(settings: Any) -> LearningPolicy

Read a deployment's own settings object, falling back per field.

Absent names take the shipped default rather than raising: a settings object carries what that deployment chose to configure and nothing else, and requiring all nineteen would put a second copy of every default back in the place this removes it from.
