## Data Flow

### Task Execution with Learning

```
1. Agent requests strategy → LearningEngine (5ms)
2. Agent executes task with recommended strategy
3. Agent records performance → PerformanceTracker (10ms)
4. Agent learns from execution → LearningEngine (30ms)
5. System persists state → SwarmMemoryManager (15ms)
6. System emits event → Event Bus (8ms)
7. Background improvement cycle (hourly, 0ms task overhead)
```

**Total overhead per task: 68ms** ✅

---

## Memory Architecture

### Storage Pattern

```
phase2/learning/{agentId}/
├── config                          # Learning configuration
├── state                          # Q-table + experiences
├── baseline                       # Baseline metrics
├── snapshots/{timestamp}          # Performance history (90-day TTL)
├── improvement                    # Current improvement data
├── abtests/{testId}              # A/B tests
├── strategies/{strategyName}      # Improvement strategies
├── cycles/{timestamp}             # Cycle results (30-day TTL)
└── failure-patterns/{patternId}   # Failure patterns
```

### Memory Usage

- **Per agent:** 600 KB (Q-table: 80KB, Experiences: 500KB, Patterns: 20KB)
- **Fleet total:** 10.2 MB (17 agents × 600 KB)
- **SQLite tables:** 15 tables with intelligent TTL policies

## Integration with BaseAgent (Future)

### Minimal Integration Code

```typescript
abstract class BaseAgent {
  async executeTask(task: Task): Promise<TaskResult> {
    // 1. Get recommendation (5ms)
    const state = this.extractTaskState(task);
    const recommendation = await this.learningEngine.recommendStrategy(state);

    // 2. Execute with strategy
    const result = await this.executeWithStrategy(task, recommendation.strategy);

    // 3. Record performance (10ms)
    await this.performanceTracker.recordSnapshot({
      metrics: this.extractMetrics(result)
    });

    // 4. Learn (30ms)
    await this.learningEngine.learnFromExecution(task, result);

    return result;
  }
}
```

**Total integration complexity:** ~50 lines of code per agent

---

## Rollback Strategy

### Performance Safeguards

```typescript
// Automatic rollback on degradation
if (performanceDrops > 5% for 3 consecutive checks) {
  1. Disable learning
  2. Restore previous Q-table
  3. Reset improvement loop
  4. Emit rollback event
  5. Alert operators
}
```

### State Versioning

- Snapshot every state save
- Version identifier: `v{timestamp}`
- Rollback to any previous version
- Supports manual and automatic rollback

---

## Advanced Features (Optional)

### AgentDB Integration

**9 Reinforcement Learning Algorithms:**
1. **Decision Transformer** - Offline RL (recommended)
2. **Q-Learning** - Value-based (baseline)
3. **SARSA** - On-policy (safe exploration)
4. **Actor-Critic** - Policy gradient (continuous actions)
5. **Active Learning** - Label-efficient
6. **Adversarial Training** - Robustness
7. **Curriculum Learning** - Progressive difficulty
8. **Federated Learning** - Distributed
9. **Multi-Task Learning** - Transfer learning

**Performance Boost:** 10-100x faster inference with WASM acceleration

**Use Case:** When standard Q-learning is insufficient for complex tasks
