Extension boundaries

• Core domain records and ports remain provider-neutral.
• Connectors, parsers, models, and repositories are injected through adapters.
• Canonical chunking has maintained Confluence and Jira policies plus a source-neutral fallback for attachments and community connectors.
• Provider writes and Temporal orchestration remain outside the engine.
• Agent logic is provider- and transport-neutral; MCP and runtime prompt adapters are injected at higher package boundaries.
• Conversation identity and memory contracts live in core; PostgreSQL persistence lives in adapters, outside chat and agent orchestration.

Ingestion chunking

harborrag_engine.ingestion.chunking implements the deterministic chunking stages used before the immutable chunk registry:

canonical document
  -> canonical, Confluence, Jira, or registered source strategy
  -> structure segmentation
  -> oversized-unit refinement
  -> compatible peer packing
  -> separate source/context metadata
  -> stable logical + revision identity
  -> canonical chunk records
  -> lightweight manifest validation

minimum_tokens is a preferred merge threshold, target_tokens is the soft packing target, and maximum_tokens is a hard postcondition. Tables are split by complete rows and repeat their header only as bounded context metadata; canonical chunk content remains suitable for fingerprinting and source diffs.

ChunkingConfig maps a normalized connector name to a profile; it never routes on raw media types. ChunkingService executes the profile’s registered strategy, validates its output, assigns stable logical_chunk_id and content-specific chunk_id values, and returns a ChunkingResult containing canonical core ChunkRecord values plus a manifest of lightweight chunk references.

Construct the service with build_chunking_service, a model-compatible TokenCounter, and a framework-neutral TextRefiner. ChunkingService.chunk is synchronous, pure, and deterministic. The runtime persists the returned validated chunk set and manifest through its immutable artifact repositories.

Confluence and Jira are maintained built-ins. Community connectors use the canonical fallback or inject a ChunkStrategy through additional_strategies; they do not modify the service. Raw Markdown, HTML, JSON, PDF, and Office structure is resolved before chunking by parser and normalizer adapters. A TextRefiner remains explicit because enforcing maximum_tokens is a hard correctness requirement.

See ingestion/chunking/README.md for the package map and extension boundary.

Representations and projections

harborrag_engine.ingestion.representations creates versioned dense and sparse representations. harborrag_engine.ingestion.projections maps validated chunks and canonical relations into deterministic staged vector and graph batches:

validated chunks + representation manifest + canonical relations
  -> Qdrant route/evidence batches
  -> FalkorDB document/section/table/comment batches
  -> cross-projection verification
  -> Postgres-controlled publication in the runtime

Projection builders are pure and provider-independent. They never publish a version, call Qdrant or FalkorDB, or treat a projection store as authoritative. The runtime owns staged writes, verification, and the Postgres activation transaction. Provider adapters own native payload and query translation.

Package tests

Tests for this package live in:

The deployed end-to-end ingestion smoke lives in harborrag-runtime, which owns provider composition and Temporal orchestration.
