RuvllmProvider v2.0.0 Integration - Complete

Status: ✅ Implemented and Type-Safe Date: 2025-12-13 Package: @ruvector/ruvllm v0.2.3 File: /workspaces/agentic-qe-cf/src/providers/RuvllmProvider.ts

---

Summary

Successfully enhanced the RuvllmProvider to integrate with @ruvector/ruvllm v0.2.3, adding TRM (Test-time Reasoning & Metacognition) and SONA (Self-Organizing Neural Architecture) capabilities while maintaining full backward compatibility with the existing OpenAI-compatible API fallback.

---

Key Features Implemented

1. TRM (Test-time Reasoning & Metacognition)

Purpose: Iteratively refine LLM outputs to improve quality through self-critique and refinement.

Configuration:

export interface TRMConfig {
  maxIterations?: number;           // Default: 7
  convergenceThreshold?: number;     // Default: 0.95
  qualityMetric?: 'coherence' | 'coverage' | 'diversity';
}

Usage:

const provider = new RuvllmProvider({
  enableTRM: true,
  maxTRMIterations: 7,
  convergenceThreshold: 0.95
});

const response = await provider.complete({
  model: 'llama-3.2-3b-instruct',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Write a test plan' }],
  trmConfig: {
    maxIterations: 5,
    qualityMetric: 'coherence'
  }
});

// Response includes TRM metadata
console.log(response.trmIterations);        // 3
console.log(response.finalQuality);         // 0.87
console.log(response.convergenceHistory);   // [...iterations]

Quality Metrics:

• coherence: Sentence flow and structure (avg sentence length, sentence count)
• coverage: Breadth of content (unique words ratio)
• diversity: Vocabulary richness (type-token ratio)

Convergence Logic:

• Stops when improvement < (1 - convergenceThreshold)
• Example: threshold 0.95 means stop when improvement < 0.05
• Tracks quality and improvement per iteration

---

2. SONA (Self-Organizing Neural Architecture)

Purpose: Continuous learning from successful completions using trajectories, LoRA adapters, and EWC.

Configuration:

export interface SONAConfig {
  loraRank?: number;      // Default: 8
  loraAlpha?: number;     // Default: 16
  ewcLambda?: number;     // Default: 2000 (catastrophic forgetting prevention)
}

Components Initialized:

1. SonaCoordinator: Records and manages learning trajectories
2. ReasoningBank: Stores high-confidence patterns (>85% confidence)
3. LoraManager: Manages task-specific LoRA adapters

Usage:

const provider = new RuvllmProvider({
  enableSONA: true,
  sonaConfig: {
    loraRank: 8,
    loraAlpha: 16,
    ewcLambda: 2000
  }
});

await provider.initialize(); // Initializes SONA components

// Trajectories are automatically tracked for high-quality completions
const response = await provider.complete({
  model: 'llama-3.2-3b-instruct',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Generate tests' }]
});

// If confidence > 0.85, stored in ReasoningBank for reuse

Trajectory Tracking:

// Automatically called after successful completions
private async trackTrajectory(
  input: string,
  output: string,
  confidence: number
): Promise<void> {
  const trajectory = new TrajectoryBuilder()
    .startStep('query', input)
    .endStep(output, confidence)
    .complete('success');

  this.sonaCoordinator.recordTrajectory(trajectory);

  // Store in reasoning bank if high confidence
  if (confidence > 0.85) {
    this.reasoningBank.store({input, output, confidence});
  }
}

---

3. Enhanced Configuration

Full Configuration Interface:

export interface RuvllmProviderConfig extends LLMProviderConfig {
  // Existing fields
  ruvllmPath?: string;
  port?: number;
  defaultModel?: string;
  gpuLayers?: number;
  contextSize?: number;
  threads?: number;
  defaultTemperature?: number;
  enableEmbeddings?: boolean;

  // NEW: TRM configuration
  enableTRM?: boolean;
  maxTRMIterations?: number;
  convergenceThreshold?: number;

  // NEW: SONA configuration
  enableSONA?: boolean;
  sonaConfig?: {
    loraRank?: number;
    loraAlpha?: number;
    ewcLambda?: number;
  };
}

Defaults:

{
  enableTRM: true,
  enableSONA: true,
  maxTRMIterations: 7,
  convergenceThreshold: 0.95,
  sonaConfig: {
    loraRank: 8,
    loraAlpha: 16,
    ewcLambda: 2000
  }
}

---

4. Dual-Mode Operation

Native Mode (Primary):

// Uses @ruvector/ruvllm directly
const ruvllm = new RuvLLM({
  learningEnabled: true,
  embeddingDim: 768,
  ewcLambda: 2000
});

// Benefits:
// - Memory search for context
// - Direct embedding generation
// - SONA trajectory tracking
// - No external server required

Fallback Mode (Server):

// Falls back to OpenAI-compatible API if:
// - ruvLLM initialization fails
// - Server is already running
// - Compatibility mode requested

// Uses existing startServer/checkServerHealth methods

Mode Detection:

const health = await provider.healthCheck();
console.log(health.metadata.mode); // 'native' or 'server'

---

5. New Response Types

TRM Completion Response:

export interface TRMCompletionResponse extends LLMCompletionResponse {
  trmIterations: number;           // Number of refinement iterations
  finalQuality: number;            // Final quality score (0-1)
  convergenceHistory: TRMIteration[]; // Per-iteration tracking
}

export interface TRMIteration {
  iteration: number;
  quality: number;
  improvement: number;
  reasoning?: string;
}

Enhanced Metadata:

{
  content: [...],
  usage: {...},
  metadata: {
    latency: 123,              // Response time
    confidence: 0.87,          // Model confidence
    memoryHits: 3,             // Relevant memory results
    cost: 0,                   // Always 0 for local
    trmLatency: 456,           // TRM-specific latency
    qualityMetric: 'coherence' // Selected metric
  }
}

---

Implementation Details

TRM Workflow

1. Initial Completion:

   let current = await this.completeBasic(options);
   let quality = this.measureQuality(current, 'coherence');
   

2. Iterative Refinement:

   for (let i = 1; i < maxIterations; i++) {
     const refined = await this.refineTRM(current, options, metric);
     const newQuality = this.measureQuality(refined, metric);
   
     if (newQuality - quality < (1 - threshold)) break;
   
     current = refined;
     quality = newQuality;
   }
   

3. Trajectory Tracking:

   if (this.sonaCoordinator) {
     await this.trackTrajectory(input, output, quality);
   }
   

SONA Integration

Initialization:

const ruvllmModule = await import('@ruvector/ruvllm');

this.ruvllm = new ruvllmModule.RuvLLM({
  learningEnabled: true,
  embeddingDim: 768,
  ewcLambda: 2000
});

this.sonaCoordinator = new ruvllmModule.SonaCoordinator();
this.reasoningBank = new ruvllmModule.ReasoningBank(0.85);
this.loraManager = new ruvllmModule.LoraManager();

Memory-Enhanced Completion:

// Search memory for relevant context
const memoryResults = this.ruvllm.searchMemory(input, 5);

// Query with context
const response = this.ruvllm.query(input, options);

// Add to memory for future use
this.ruvllm.addMemory(response.text, {
  input,
  timestamp: Date.now(),
  model: response.model
});

---

Backward Compatibility

Preserved Functionality

All existing functionality remains intact:

• ✅ OpenAI-compatible API server mode
• ✅ startServer() and checkServerHealth() methods
• ✅ Streaming support via streamComplete()
• ✅ Embeddings via server or native ruvLLM
• ✅ Token counting estimation
• ✅ Health checks with metadata
• ✅ Graceful shutdown

Migration Path

Existing Code (No Changes Required):

const provider = new RuvllmProvider({
  port: 8080,
  defaultModel: 'llama-3.2-3b-instruct'
});

await provider.initialize();
const response = await provider.complete({
  model: 'llama-3.2-3b-instruct',
  messages: [...]
});
// Works exactly as before, now with SONA learning in background

Opt-In to Advanced Features:

const provider = new RuvllmProvider({
  enableTRM: true,      // Enable TRM
  enableSONA: true,     // Enable SONA (default)
  maxTRMIterations: 5
});

const response = await provider.complete({
  messages: [...],
  trmConfig: {          // Opt-in per request
    qualityMetric: 'coherence'
  }
});

---

Error Handling

All new features include proper error handling:

try {
  const trajectory = new TrajectoryBuilder()...;
  this.sonaCoordinator.recordTrajectory(trajectory);
} catch (error) {
  this.logger.warn('Failed to track trajectory', {
    error: error.message
  });
  // Non-fatal: continues without SONA tracking
}

Error Types:

• INIT_ERROR: Failed to initialize ruvLLM
• INFERENCE_ERROR: Completion failed
• STREAM_ERROR: Streaming failed
• EMBEDDING_ERROR: Embedding generation failed
• NOT_INITIALIZED: Provider not initialized

Testing Recommendations

Unit Tests

describe('RuvllmProvider TRM', () => {
  it('should refine output over multiple iterations', async () => {
    const provider = new RuvllmProvider({ enableTRM: true });
    await provider.initialize();

    const response = await provider.completeTRM({
      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Test' }],
      trmConfig: { maxIterations: 3 }
    });

    expect(response.trmIterations).toBeGreaterThan(0);
    expect(response.finalQuality).toBeGreaterThan(0);
  });
});

describe('RuvllmProvider SONA', () => {
  it('should track trajectories', async () => {
    const provider = new RuvllmProvider({ enableSONA: true });
    await provider.initialize();

    const response = await provider.complete({
      messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Test' }]
    });

    expect(response.metadata.confidence).toBeDefined();
  });
});

Integration Tests

describe('RuvllmProvider Integration', () => {
  it('should fall back to server mode on ruvLLM failure', async () => {
    // Mock ruvLLM import failure
    jest.mock('@ruvector/ruvllm', () => {
      throw new Error('Module not found');
    });

    const provider = new RuvllmProvider();
    await provider.initialize(); // Should start server

    const health = await provider.healthCheck();
    expect(health.metadata.mode).toBe('server');
  });
});

Performance Considerations

TRM Overhead

• Without TRM: 1 completion = ~100ms
• With TRM (5 iterations): 5 completions = ~500ms
• Recommendation: Use TRM for high-value outputs only

SONA Memory Usage

• Embedding storage: ~768 floats per memory
• Trajectory storage: Lightweight metadata
• ReasoningBank: Only high-confidence patterns (>85%)

Optimization Tips

1. Disable TRM for simple queries:

   const response = await provider.complete({
     messages: [...],
     // No trmConfig = no TRM overhead
   });
   

2. Adjust convergence threshold:

   trmConfig: {
     convergenceThreshold: 0.9 // Stop earlier
   }
   

3. Use quality metrics wisely:

   • coherence: Best for long-form text
   • coverage: Best for comprehensive answers
   • diversity: Best for creative responses

     activeAdapters: number;
   }
   

3. Add Custom Quality Metrics:

   registerQualityMetric(name: string, fn: (text: string) => number)
   

4. Implement LoRA Adapter Management:

   loadAdapter(name: string): Promise<void>
   saveAdapter(name: string): Promise<void>
   

Testing Checklist

• Unit tests for TRM convergence
• Unit tests for quality metrics
• Unit tests for SONA trajectory tracking
• Integration tests for dual-mode operation
• Integration tests for fallback behavior
• Performance benchmarks (TRM overhead)
• Memory usage tests (SONA storage)
• End-to-end tests with real models

Usage Examples

Example 1: Basic TRM Usage

import { RuvllmProvider } from './providers/RuvllmProvider';

const provider = new RuvllmProvider({
  enableTRM: true,
  maxTRMIterations: 5
});

await provider.initialize();

const response = await provider.complete({
  model: 'llama-3.2-3b-instruct',
  messages: [
    { role: 'user', content: 'Write a comprehensive test plan for a REST API' }
  ],
  trmConfig: {
    maxIterations: 7,
    qualityMetric: 'coverage'
  }
});

console.log(`TRM iterations: ${response.trmIterations}`);
console.log(`Final quality: ${response.finalQuality}`);
console.log(`Convergence history:`, response.convergenceHistory);

Example 2: SONA Learning

const provider = new RuvllmProvider({
  enableSONA: true,
  sonaConfig: {
    loraRank: 8,
    loraAlpha: 16,
    ewcLambda: 2000
  }
});

await provider.initialize();

// First completion - learns pattern
const response1 = await provider.complete({
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Generate unit tests for UserService' }]
});

// Second completion - reuses learned pattern
const response2 = await provider.complete({
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Generate unit tests for OrderService' }]
});

// Memory search finds similar patterns
console.log(`Memory hits: ${response2.metadata.memoryHits}`);

Example 3: Dual-Mode with Fallback

const provider = new RuvllmProvider({
  enableTRM: true,
  enableSONA: true,
  port: 8080  // Fallback server port
});

await provider.initialize();

const health = await provider.healthCheck();
console.log(`Mode: ${health.metadata.mode}`); // 'native' or 'server'
console.log(`SONA enabled: ${health.metadata.sonaEnabled}`);
console.log(`TRM enabled: ${health.metadata.trmEnabled}`);

// Works in both modes
const response = await provider.complete({
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }]
});
