## Session End Hook
### Background Upload Pattern
**Location**: `session_buddy.mcp.tools.session.session_tools._queue_akosha_sync_background`
Non-blocking background task that uploads memories after session end.
#### Implementation
```python
def _queue_akosha_sync_background() -> None:
"""Queue Akosha sync as background task without blocking session end."""
import asyncio
asyncio.create_task(
_akosha_sync_background_task(),
name="akosha_sync_upload",
)
async def _akosha_sync_background_task() -> None:
"""Background sync task for uploading memories to Akosha."""
config = AkoshaSyncConfig.from_settings(get_settings())
sync = HybridAkoshaSync(config)
result = await sync.sync_memories(force_method="auto")
if result["success"]:
logger.info(f"✅ Akosha sync complete: {result['method']}")
else:
logger.warning(f"⚠️ Akosha sync failed: {result.get('error')}")
```
#### Usage Pattern
```python
async def _end_impl(working_directory: str | None = None) -> str:
"""Implementation for end tool."""
result = await _get_session_manager().end_session(working_directory)
if result["success"]:
output.extend(_format_successful_end(result["summary"]))
# Queue Akosha sync without blocking
_queue_akosha_sync_background()
return "\n".join(output)
```
#### Flow Diagram
```
Session End Triggered
↓
Session cleanup completes
↓
Queue background task (asyncio.create_task)
↓
Session end completes immediately (non-blocking)
↓
Background task runs:
- Load configuration
- Create sync orchestrator
- Perform sync (cloud → HTTP fallback)
- Log result
```
______________________________________________________________________
## Exceptions
### CloudUploadError
**Location**: `session_buddy.storage.sync_protocol.CloudUploadError`
Raised when cloud storage upload fails.
```python
class CloudUploadError(SyncError):
"""Cloud storage upload failed.
Raised when:
- Cloud bucket not accessible
- Authentication failed
- Network timeout during upload
- Insufficient permissions
"""
def __init__(self, message: str, method: str, original: Exception | None = None):
self.method = method
self.original = original
```
#### Example
```python
try:
await cloud_sync.sync()
except CloudUploadError as e:
logger.error(f"Cloud upload failed: {e}")
logger.error(f"Original error: {e.original}")
# Handle cloud-specific error
```
### HTTPSyncError
**Location**: `session_buddy.storage.sync_protocol.HTTPSyncError`
Raised when HTTP sync to Akosha fails.
```python
class HTTPSyncError(SyncError):
"""HTTP sync to Akosha failed.
Raised when:
- Akosha server not reachable
- Connection refused
- Request timeout
- Server error (5xx)
"""
```
### HybridSyncError
**Location**: `session_buddy.storage.sync_protocol.HybridSyncError`
Raised when all sync methods fail.
```python
class HybridSyncError(SyncError):
"""All sync methods failed.
Attributes:
errors: List of error dictionaries from each failed method
"""
def __init__(self, message: str, method: str, errors: list[dict[str, Any]]):
self.errors = errors
```
#### Example
```python
try:
await hybrid.sync_memories()
except HybridSyncError as e:
logger.error("All sync methods failed:")
for error in e.errors:
logger.error(f" - {error['method']}: {error['error']}")
```
______________________________________________________________________
## Type Hints
### Common Types
```python
from typing import Any, Literal
# Sync result type
type SyncResult = dict[
str, Any # Keys: method, success, files_uploaded, bytes_transferred, etc.
]
# Method type
type SyncMethodType = Literal["cloud", "http", "hybrid"]
# Configuration types
type CompressionEnabled = bool
type DeduplicationEnabled = bool
type ChunkSizeMB = int # 1-100
```
______________________________________________________________________
## Best Practices
### 1. Error Handling
Always handle sync-specific exceptions:
```python
from session_buddy.storage.sync_protocol import (
CloudUploadError,
HTTPSyncError,
HybridSyncError,
)
try:
result = await sync.sync()
except CloudUploadError as e:
# Cloud-specific handling (retry, notify user, etc.)
logger.error(f"Cloud error: {e}")
except HTTPSyncError as e:
# HTTP-specific handling
logger.error(f"HTTP error: {e}")
except HybridSyncError as e:
# All methods failed
logger.error(f"All methods failed: {e.errors}")
```
### 2. Configuration Validation
Validate configuration before use:
```python
config = AkoshaSyncConfig.from_settings(settings)
errors = config.validate()
if errors:
for error in errors:
logger.error(f"Configuration error: {error}")
raise ValueError(f"Invalid Akosha configuration: {errors}")
```
### 3. Async Context Managers
Use async context managers for cleanup:
```python
async def sync_with_cleanup():
config = AkoshaSyncConfig.from_settings(settings)
hybrid = HybridAkoshaSync(config)
try:
result = await hybrid.sync_memories()
return result
finally:
# Cleanup resources
logger.info("Sync complete, resources cleaned")
```
### 4. Logging
Log sync operations at appropriate levels:
```python
logger.info(f"Starting sync: method={method}")
logger.debug(f"Configuration: {config}")
logger.warning(f"Retry attempt {attempt}/{max_retries}")
logger.error(f"Sync failed: {e}")
```
______________________________________________________________________
## Performance Considerations
### Memory Usage
- **Chunking**: Large files split into 5MB chunks (configurable)
- **Compression**: Reduces memory usage by 65%
- **Streaming**: Files read and uploaded in chunks, not loaded entirely
### Network Usage
- **Compression**: 65% bandwidth reduction
- **Deduplication**: Skips uploading unchanged files
- **Retry Logic**: Exponential backoff reduces network spam
### CPU Usage
- **Compression**: Adds CPU overhead (~2-3s for 100MB)
- **Checksum**: SHA-256 computation (~1s for 100MB)
- **Chunking**: Minimal overhead
______________________________________________________________________
## Testing
### Unit Tests
```python
@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_cloud_sync_success():
config = AkoshaSyncConfig(cloud_bucket="test")
cloud_sync = CloudSyncMethod(config)
with patch.object(cloud_sync, "_upload_to_s3"):
result = await cloud_sync.sync()
assert result["success"] is True
```
### Integration Tests
```python
@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_hybrid_fallback():
config = AkoshaSyncConfig.from_settings(settings)
hybrid = HybridAkoshaSync(config)
result = await hybrid.sync_memories()
assert result["success"] is True
```
______________________________________________________________________
## Migration Guide
### From Manual Sync
Before:
```python
# Manual HTTP POST to Akosha
async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
await client.post("http://localhost:8682/store_memory", ...)
```
After:
```python
# Use hybrid sync with automatic fallback
from session_buddy.storage.akosha_sync import HybridAkoshaSync
hybrid = HybridAkoshaSync(config)
result = await hybrid.sync_memories()
```
### From Direct S3 Uploads
Before:
```python
import boto3
s3 = boto3.client("s3")
s3.upload_file("reflection.duckdb", "bucket", "key")
```
After:
```python
from session_buddy.storage.cloud_sync import CloudSyncMethod
cloud_sync = CloudSyncMethod(config)
result = await cloud_sync.sync() # Handles compression, retry, manifest
```
