fleet-vector-api

Real semantic search across the SuperInstance ecosystem using Cloudflare Workers AI embeddings + Vectorize.

This isn't fake 32-dim hand-computed vectors. This is @cf/baai/bge-small-en-v1.5 — a real 384-dimensional embedding model running on Cloudflare's edge network, producing embeddings that actually understand what your crates do.

Pipeline

Crate README + Cargo.toml metadata
        ↓
Workers AI (bge-small-en-v1.5, 384-dim)
        ↓
Vectorize index (cosine similarity)
        ↓
Semantic search API at the edge

Why This Matters

The ecosystem has 548 crates. Finding related work across domains is hard:

• "What crates use conservation laws?" → finds conservation-law, entropy-lint, agent-homeostasis, hodge-belief-rs
• "sheaf theory" → finds persistent-sheaf, sheaf-cohomology, sheaf-agents-c, sheaf-coherence
• "agent timing" → finds agent-cadence, agent-rubato, agent-groove, agent-swing

Keyword search misses cross-domain connections. Semantic embeddings catch them.

API

Ingest

curl -X POST http://localhost:8787/ingest \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "crates": [{
      "name": "conservation-law",
      "description": "Core invariant for constraint-aware AI systems",
      "readme": "# Conservation Law\n\nImplements γ + η = C...",
      "version": "0.2.1",
      "keywords": ["conservation", "invariant", "ternary"]
    }]
  }'

Search

curl -X POST http://localhost:8787/search \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{" query": "agent coordination with conservation laws", "topK": 5 }'

Find Similar

curl -X POST http://localhost:8787/similar \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"crate_name": "conservation-law", "topK": 10}'

Debug Embed

curl -X POST http://localhost:8787/embed \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "ternary mathematics for agent systems"}'
# Returns: 384-dim vector, magnitude, preview

Endpoints

Method	Path	Description
POST	/ingest	Ingest crate(s): README → Workers AI → Vectorize
POST	/search	Semantic search across all crates
POST	/similar	Find crates similar to a given crate
GET	/crates/:name	Get crate metadata + README preview

GET	/health	Health check

Batch Ingestion

# Ingest all crates from local filesystem
npm run ingest -- --api http://localhost:8787 --repos /home/phoenix/repos

# Dry run first
npm run ingest -- --dry-run

# Limit to first 10 for testing
npm run ingest -- --limit=10

Architecture Decisions

Why bge-small-en-v1.5 (384-dim) not bge-m3 (1024-dim)?

• Latency: 384-dim embeddings are ~3x faster to generate at the edge
• Cost: Fewer dimensions = cheaper Vectorize storage
• Accuracy: For crate descriptions (technical English), 384-dim is sufficient
• Upgrade path: Swap to @cf/baai/bge-m3 in wrangler.toml when needed

Why CLS pooling?

Cloudflare recommends pooling: 'cls' for bge models — uses the [CLS] token representation which captures full-sequence semantics better than mean pooling.

Why normalize to unit vectors?

Cosine similarity is the standard for semantic search. Unit vectors make dot product = cosine similarity, which is what Vectorize uses internally.

Storage

Store	Purpose	Retention
Vectorize	384-dim embeddings + metadata	Permanent
KV	Full crate metadata JSON	30 days (refresh on ingest)
R2	Raw README.md files	Permanent

Local Development

npm install
npm run dev     # Starts wrangler dev on :8787
npm test        # Run unit tests

Deployment

# Create Vectorize index first
wrangler vectorize create fleet-crates --dimensions=384 --metric=cosine

# Deploy
npm run deploy
