Documentation Audit & Updates - Complete Summary

✅ Completed Tasks

1. Fixed All High-Priority Documentation Issues

Updated the following files with corrected claims:

• overview/index.md (3 replacements)
• concepts/architecture.md (2 replacements)
• quickstart/index.md (1 replacement)
• about.md (1 replacement - 86% → 91%)
• integrations/deprecations-and-migrations.md (1 replacement - softened "always")
• tutorials/messages-api-basics.md (1 replacement - removed "always")
• guides/message-compression.md (3 replacements - "instant" → "near-instant")

Changes Made:

• ✅ Updated <100ms → <150ms when cached (5 locations)
• ✅ Updated 86% → 91%+ accuracy (1 location)
• ✅ Softened "always" language (2 locations)
• ✅ Changed "instant" → "near-instant" (3 locations)

2. Content Type Clarification (Video/Audio)

Finding: No action needed!

The only video/audio references in docs are about creating video tutorials for users (in guides/dashboard.md), NOT about PAPR supporting video/audio file ingestion.

Created: VIDEO-AUDIO-AUDIT.md documenting this finding.

3. Enhanced Predictive Memory Documentation

Updated: overview/predictive-memory.md

New Content Added:

• Detailed explanation of the scoring formula: 0.6×vector_sim + 0.3×transition + 0.2×hotness
• Why it gets better with scale (behavioral learning)
• Explanation of the three components (vector similarity, transition probability, normalized hotness)
• Research backing (30-day logs, Markov predictions, log normalization)
• Link to Sync API for accessing predictive context
• Python SDK examples
• Performance metrics (#1 STaRK, <150ms cached)

4. Comprehensive Sync API Documentation

Updated: guides/portability-and-sync.md

New Content Added:

• Use cases (edge/local AI, offline-first, migration)
• Detailed Tier 0 vs Tier 1 explanation
• Full request/response examples with all fields
• Key field explanations (predicted_importance, behavioral_score, transitions)
• Complete sync workflow (initial + delta)
• Python SDK examples for both tiered and delta sync
• Performance tips (INT8 embeddings, batch updates, transition prefetching)
• Link to predictive memory details

5. Audit Documentation Created

Files Created:

1. AUDIT-ANSWERS.md - Detailed findings from code audit

   • Gzip threshold: 1KB (verified from code)
   • Auto-compression trigger: Every 15 messages
   • Content types: text/image/PDF/Word only
   • "Gets better with scale" mechanism explained
   • Code references for all claims

2. docs-comprehensive-audit.csv - Updated with verified answers

   • Changed 4 rows from NEEDS_USER_INPUT to VERIFIED
   • Added code evidence and explanations
   • Marked one claim (cached compression latency <50ms) for removal

3. VIDEO-AUDIO-AUDIT.md - Video/audio status

   • Confirmed no inaccurate claims in docs
   • Documented current support (text/image/PDF/Word)
   • Listed locations to update when video/audio support is added

📊 Key Findings from Code Audit

Verified from memory Codebase:

1. Gzip Threshold: Exactly 1000 bytes (1KB)

   • Source: app_factory.py:401
   • Code: app.add_middleware(GZipMiddleware, minimum_size=1000)

2. Auto-Compression: Every 15 messages

   • Source: routers/v1/message_routes.py:211, 592
   • Source: services/message_batch_analysis.py:87

3. Predictive Memory Mechanism:

   • Source: services/predictive/tier0_builder.py:232-271
   • Formula: 0.6×vector + 0.3×transition + 0.2×hotness
   • Uses 30-day retrieval logs
   • Multi-step Markov predictions (3-step lookahead)
   • Exponential time decay (0.95 per day)

4. Cache TTLs:

   • Source: services/cache_utils.py
   • Auth caches: 2-3 minutes (security)
   • Embedding cache: 10 minutes
   • Business data: 1 hour + daily flush

Claims to Remove:

1. Cached compression latency (<50ms):
   • No measurement found in codebase
   • Compression endpoint has from_cache field but no latency tracking
   • Recommendation: Remove claim unless measured

📚 Documentation Enhancements

Predictive Memory

• Now explains WHY it gets better with scale (not just that it does)
• Details the scoring algorithm with research backing
• Shows how to access predictive context via Sync API
• Includes Python SDK examples

Sync API

• Complete workflow documentation (initial + delta)
• Detailed tier explanations (Tier 0 = predictive, Tier 1 = hot)
• Performance tips for production use
• Python SDK integration examples
• Links back to predictive memory explanation

🎯 Impact

For Users:

• More accurate claims (91%+, <150ms cached, near-instant vs instant)
• Better understanding of predictive memory mechanism
• Clear content type support (no confusion about video/audio)
• Production-ready sync examples for edge/local AI apps

For Internal:

• Audit trail of all documentation claims vs code reality
• Source of truth for performance numbers
• Code references for all technical claims
• Clear gaps identified (e.g., cached compression latency measurement)
