Health Alerts Guide

The health system proactively monitors your knowledge base and warns about potential issues before they cause problems.

Alert Types

EXPIRING_SOON

Triggered when memories are about to cross tier demotion thresholds within 24 hours.

Action: Recall the expiring memories (which refreshes their decay timer) or promote them if they're important.

UNRESOLVED_CONFLICTS

Triggered when CHALLENGED memories remain unresolved for more than 48 hours.

Action: Use epistemic_diff to view conflicts, then epistemic_resolve to resolve them.

HIGH_ENTROPY

Triggered when system entropy exceeds 0.05 (warning) or 0.15 (critical).

Action: Resolve conflicts immediately. At critical entropy, the pipeline may halt new stores.

STALE_QUARANTINE

Triggered when QUARANTINE memories remain for more than 7 days without promotion or evidence.

Action: Review quarantined memories — either forget them or provide supporting evidence to boost confidence.

Monitoring Best Practices

  1. Call epistemic_health at the start of each conversation session
  2. Address critical alerts before continuing normal operation
  3. Set up periodic health checks (the agent can do this automatically)
  4. Keep entropy below 0.05 for optimal performance
