The vector_store_registry block in litellm-config.yaml only seeds the
store into litellm's in-memory registry at boot — the Admin UI's Vector
Stores page (/ui/vector-stores) reads litellm's own DB
(LiteLLM_ManagedVectorStoresTable) instead, via /vector_store/list. A
config-only entry there gets silently deleted from memory the first time
anyone loads that page, since /vector_store/list treats the DB as the
source of truth and removes anything not also present there.
update.sh now registers it in the DB too, via POST /vector_store/new
(idempotent, same pattern as the existing virtual-key minting) — with the
literal resolved key, not the os.environ/... form used in
litellm-config.yaml, since the management API doesn't do config.yaml-style
substitution on request bodies.
Found in the process: /vector_store/update in this litellm version can't
touch litellm_params at all (VectorStoreUpdateRequest has no such field,
so PGVECTOR_API_KEY sent through it is silently dropped) — worth knowing
if this key ever needs rotating; documented in update.sh's comment.
Verified live: registered via the API, confirmed the row appears in
/vector_store/list (what the Admin UI page reads) with the real key, and
re-verified search still works end-to-end afterward.
Without it, litellm's pg_vector provider sent Authorization: Bearer None,
which round-tripped to the real api.openai.com and came back with
'Incorrect API key provided: None' — masking the actual problem and making
every vector store call fail. Points at litellm-pgvector's own
LITELLM_PGVECTOR_API_KEY (its SERVER_API_KEY), already present in .env.
Smoke-tested end-to-end against the live deploy for issue #24, alongside
the litellm-pgvector fixes in the following commits.
Confirmed in llama-server logs: a real request hit exactly n_gen=4096
(the old floor) and returned no answer -- reasoning_content alone ate
the whole budget before any content was written, exactly the failure
mode this config's own comment predicted. 16384 is the user-chosen
middle ground between 8192 and 32768: ~10 min worst-case at ~26.7 t/s,
well under the 65536-token context window.

This reverts commit abeadc49c8.
Restores vendor/litellm-pgvector/ and the vector_store_registry wiring
(in-band file_search tool-call support) at the user's request, after
re-confirming against docs.litellm.ai/docs/completion/knowledgebase and
litellm-pgvector's own README that pg_vector is still not an in-process
vector_store_registry backend -- it requires this same standalone
connector service either way, so there is no simpler 'native' path that
was missed. Trading back in: 793 lines of vendored code, the untested
Prisma migration, and the git-context build risk noted in VENDORED.md
(all flagged as unverified against real hardware in issue #24), in
exchange for the file_search in-band tool call memory-retrieval did not
support.
Conflicts resolved on top of later commits (Redis, update.sh key-minting
fold-in):
- .env.example / docs/memory-knowledgebase.md: kept the auto-mint-via-
update.sh language, renamed MEMORY_RETRIEVAL_* back to
LITELLM_PGVECTOR_*.
- scripts/generate-secrets.sh: left deleted -- its job was folded into
update.sh in 24d749b, unrelated to this revert.
- scripts/update.sh: renamed the MEMORY_RETRIEVAL_* secret/mint calls to
LITELLM_PGVECTOR_* to match.

New redis service (redis:7-alpine, password-protected, no persistence
volume — everything it holds is cache/coordination state). litellm gets
REDIS_HOST/REDIS_PORT/REDIS_PASSWORD, which is all LiteLLM needs to use it
for router state, rate limits/budgets, and cache invalidation — no
litellm-config.yaml block required (docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/caching).
REDIS_PASSWORD added to .env.example and update.sh's auto-generated
secrets.

Per docs/research/langchain-pgvector-vs-litellm-pgvector.md (issue #25):
the vendored litellm-pgvector connector (793 lines, Prisma migrations, a
fragile git-context build) is replaced by a ~90-line FastAPI service
(services/memory-retrieval/) wrapping langchain_postgres.PGVector directly
against pgvector-db. Same gateway boundary — it still calls litellm for
embeddings, nothing talks to Postgres or the model directly except this
service.
- New services/memory-retrieval/ (main.py, Dockerfile, requirements.txt):
POST /ingest, POST /query, GET /health.
- docker-compose.yml: litellm-pgvector service replaced by memory-retrieval;
pgvector-db and embedding-server untouched.
- litellm-config.yaml: vector_store_registry block removed (no
langchain_postgres provider exists to register against; callers query
memory-retrieval directly instead of an in-band file_search tool call —
that mechanism was never confirmed working per issue #24 anyway).
- scripts/ingest-memory.sh rewritten for the new /ingest endpoint (same
per-line chunking, no dedup).
- .env vars renamed: LITELLM_PGVECTOR_API_KEY/LITELLM_PGVECTOR_EMBEDDING_KEY
-> MEMORY_RETRIEVAL_API_KEY/MEMORY_RETRIEVAL_EMBEDDING_KEY.
- vendor/litellm-pgvector/ removed entirely.
- docs/memory-knowledgebase.md updated for the new setup/query flow.

- search_tools block in litellm-config.yaml (SearXNG as a first-class
search_provider, standalone /v1/search endpoint, not a model tool) plus
extra_hosts on the litellm service so it can resolve search.home.
- New embedding-server (nomic-embed-text-v1.5 on a second llama.cpp
instance), pgvector-db, and litellm-pgvector services — LiteLLM's native
knowledgebase feature has no Qdrant backend, so this is the only
self-hosted path (docs/research/litellm-knowledgebase.md).
- vector_store_registry + local-embedding model entry in
litellm-config.yaml, wiring it together.
- scripts/ingest-memory.sh to load data/memory.md and
data/claude-legacy-memory.md into the knowledgebase.
- docs/memory-knowledgebase.md documenting the whole setup; data/
gitignored (personal memory content, not meant to be committed).
- New .env vars (SEARXNG_LAN_IP, PGVECTOR_DB_PASSWORD,
LITELLM_PGVECTOR_API_KEY, LITELLM_PGVECTOR_EMBEDDING_KEY,
EMBEDDING_MODEL_FILE) and generate-secrets.sh support for the
auto-generatable ones.
Resolves#22 and #23 (wayfinder map #21). Not yet verified on real
hardware — see #24.

Qwen3 spends output tokens on reasoning_content before writing content.
Open WebUI's default chat request doesn't set max_tokens, so it fell
through to llama.cpp's low default and the model ran out mid-thought,
returning finish_reason=length with empty content — no reply shown in
Open WebUI. Confirmed via a manual /v1/chat/completions call: works with
max_tokens=2000, fails without it.
litellm_params.max_tokens is a default, not a cap — any caller (or Open
WebUI's per-model Advanced Params) that sets its own max_tokens still
overrides it.

Open WebUI now points at litellm instead of llama-server directly, using a
provisioned virtual key. llama-server's host port is dropped (internal-only
on the ai-stack network) since the proxy is the only intended entry point
now. docs/coding-cli-setup.md repointed at the proxy's endpoints/ports with
per-CLI virtual keys instead of the old shared dummy key.

Adds litellm + litellm-db to docker-compose.yml, litellm-config.yaml with
custom shadow-cost pricing (Claude Sonnet 5 reference, per #11) and a
priority-scheduling stub (per #16, needs real-hardware smoke test), and
required LITELLM_MASTER_KEY/SALT_KEY/DB_PASSWORD env vars. Untested on real
hardware — that's #17. Open WebUI/coding CLIs still talk to llama.cpp
directly, migration is #15.
