fix(recall): fold Russian yo spelling in Cyrillic fallback - #1340
The Russian fallback can lose a memory before scoring it: свеклы does not match the four-character LIKE prefix in stored Свёкла, and the scorer treats е and ё as distinct trigrams.
Apply lowercase/ё→е normalization consistently to query prefixes, SQL candidate matching and trigram scoring. Reserve half of the bounded candidate pool for original-spelling prefixes before filling it with folded matches, so spelling expansion cannot exclude every original-prefix candidate. Both SQL stages use stable identifier order; Python scoring remains capped at k * 5 rows. Stored content and FTS indexes are preserved.
This implements the normalization portion of #1295 and intentionally leaves the issue open. Query-word mean aggregation, nonzero prior lexical scores suppressing fallback, lexical thresholds and cross-language dense admission retain their behavior. Enhanced-recall cache generation is 19, following Main's generation 18. The branch includes Main e249583 and preserves its graph, embedding and Hermes CLI changes.
Validation at fc81545
Before the candidate-pool repair: all 6 pressure regressions failed, across both memory tiers, both spelling directions and uppercase. Each inserts 31 competing rows before the relevant row, exceeding k * 5 for k=5.
After repair: 56 Cyrillic tests passed. The expanded Cyrillic, lexical-preparation, BEAM, lexical-gate, enhanced-cache, query-cache, recency and catalog suites passed 371 tests with 1 existing skip.
Release-contract, manifest, catalog and CLI-version checks: 33 passed and the explicitly online minimum-Core case skipped in the offline run.
The opt-in online test then passed independently against the checksum-verified published Core 4.0.0 wheel and the built current provider. It covers batch write/recall, global recall after recovery, a session marker hidden in the recovery session and visible again in its original session. Normal test runs remain offline; CI runs this online compatibility check separately.
Ruff F/RUF022, generated documentation checks, wheel/sdist builds, twine check and git diff --check passed. Hosted CI run 42768134612 passed at this head: Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13 (including each separate published-Core online check), lint, docs and build.
Core version, bundled manifest, README, changelog and generated API versions follow CONTRIBUTING. The catalog floor remains >=4.0.0. CodeRabbit automatically paused reviews after its previously reviewed head 0b507d3; its skipped check on this head is not a fresh review approval.
Prepared with assistance from OpenAI Codex.
Summary
BEAM’s Russian Cyrillic fallback now lowercases text and folds ё to е during candidate selection and trigram scoring. This helps spelling variants and inflected forms reach scoring without changing stored content or FTS indexes. Query-word mean aggregation and the lexical admission gate remain unchanged.
The candidate pool remains capped at k * 5. It reserves up to half for original-spelling matches, then adds folded-only matches and uses any remaining capacity for other original matches. Both queries order candidates by identifier.
Enhanced-recall cache generation advances from 18 to 19. Tests add coverage for scoring, working and episodic recall, candidate limits, and recomputation of stale cached results. Test results for the current head are not available.
Architecture and compatibility
This change updates BEAM’s lexical candidate retrieval and scoring. It does not change the working, episodic, or BEAM memory architecture, consolidation pipeline, veracity system, sync layer, or benchmark methodology.
Folding spelling only during fallback matching is the right call. It supports equivalent Russian spellings without rewriting stored content or FTS indexes.
The diff shows no new runtime remote processing or data flow. It does not erode Mnemosyne’s local-first or privacy posture.
The package and Hermes provider versions move to 4.1.0. The MCP tool-schema documentation version also moves to 4.1.0; no MCP behavior or CLI changes are shown.
Release-contract tests add provider lifecycle coverage for working and session scope, batch remember-and-recall, and recovery after reinitialization. An opt-in online test downloads and checksum-verifies the published Core 4.0.0 wheel. CI is configured to run that test separately. This adds a test-time network dependency, not a runtime memory-processing dependency.
The cache generation is 19, following generation 18. Documentation describes the fallback and its limits. Multi-word score dilution and broader admission behavior remain unchanged.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
Russian fallback candidate selection and trigram scoring now fold case and ё to е. Stored text and lexical admission rules remain unchanged. The enhanced-recall cache generation advances to 19. Release metadata changes to 4.1.0, and release-contract tests check compatibility with the published Core 4.0.0 floor.

Summary
Check the published Core compatibility floor tests/test_hermes_core_release_contract.py, .github/workflows/ci.yml, CONTRIBUTING.md
The catalog dependency check uses a fixed Core floor of 4.0.0. An opt-in test downloads and verifies the published Core wheel, builds the current Hermes wheel, and checks the provider lifecycle. CI runs the test, and contributor instructions document its local invocation.
mnemosyne-oss/mnemosyne#1295 — The issue identifies missing ё/е normalization as one cause of Cyrillic fallback misses. This change adds normalization to candidate selection and scoring; the issue’s other concerns remain unchanged.
Possibly related PRs
mnemosyne-oss/mnemosyne#1294 — Both PRs address the Core compatibility contract by keeping the catalog floor at 4.0.0 while Core moves to 4.1.0.
Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 16bd4
The normal test suite no longer requires the published-Core download. The separate online compatibility check does not block offline test runs; no actionable merge risk is established.

Reviewed 59a28c5. Candidate selection and trigram scoring consistently lowercase and fold ё to е, including uppercase and reverse-spelling inflections. I verified public linear recall in both working and episodic memory, plus unrelated and other-language controls. The focused offline suite passed 157 tests; the packaging lifecycle test remains locally unverified because pip's isolated build dependency setup could not complete offline.
The implementation keeps the agreed scope: stored content and FTS indexes are preserved, and query-word averaging, lexical thresholds and existing nonzero-score behavior are unchanged. The remaining multi-word dilution work in #1295 stays separate.
Before integration, please refresh against current Main and resolve the cache generation using the actual predecessor plus one. This head uses 17, while Main currently uses 18; retain the graph/embedding changes and update the changelog to the final generation. No additional correctness issue found in the normalization change itself.
