- Add batching to generate_embeddings() (50 texts per batch with per-batch retry)
to prevent 413 Payload Too Large errors on large documents
- Add 413 error classification rule for user-friendly error messages
- Fix misleading "Created 0 embedded chunks" log in process_source_command
by removing premature get_embedded_chunks() call (embedding is fire-and-forget)
Closes#594
Replace generic "An unexpected error occurred" messages with descriptive,
user-friendly error messages when LLM operations fail. Errors like invalid
API keys, wrong model names, and rate limits now surface clearly in the UI.
Adds error classification utility, global FastAPI exception handlers, and
frontend getApiErrorMessage() helper. Bumps version to 1.7.2.
* fix: filter empty content in rebuild embeddings queries
Update collect_items_for_rebuild() to properly filter out items with
empty or whitespace-only content before submitting embedding jobs.
Changes:
- Sources: add string::trim(full_text) != '' filter
- Notes: add string::trim(content) != '' filter
- Insights: add content != none AND string::trim(content) != '' filter
(previously had no content filter at all)
This prevents unnecessary job submissions that would fail validation
in the individual embed commands.
Ref #513
* feat: add command_id to embedding error logs
Add get_command_id() helper to extract command_id from execution context.
Include command_id in error logs for all embedding commands:
- embed_note_command
- embed_insight_command
- embed_source_command
- create_insight_command
This makes it easier to trace failed embedding jobs back to specific
command records in the database.
Ref #513
* fix: improve logging for embedding commands
Log improvements:
- Add command_id to all embedding error logs for traceability
- Transaction conflicts in repo_insert now log at DEBUG (not ERROR)
- Embedding API errors log at DEBUG, only ERROR when retries exhausted
- Friendlier retry messages: "This will be retried automatically"
- Include model name and command_id in generate_embeddings errors
Files changed:
- commands/embedding_commands.py: command_id in logs, friendlier messages
- open_notebook/database/repository.py: DEBUG for transaction conflicts
- open_notebook/utils/embedding.py: DEBUG logging, pass-through command_id
Ref #513
* fix: correct field names in rebuild embeddings status endpoint
The API status endpoint was looking for wrong field names:
- sources_processed → sources_submitted
- notes_processed → notes_submitted
- insights_processed → insights_submitted
- processed_items → jobs_submitted
- failed_items → failed_submissions
The command outputs "_submitted" because embedding happens async
(we count jobs submitted, not items processed).
Ref #513
* fix: update rebuild UI text to reflect async job submission
Changed terminology from "Completed/processed" to "Jobs Submitted"
since the rebuild command submits embedding jobs for async processing,
not completing them synchronously.
Updated in all locales: en-US, pt-BR, zh-CN, zh-TW, ja-JP

* refactor: migrate retry strategy from allowlist to blocklist
- Change from `retry_on: [RuntimeError, ...]` to `stop_on: [ValueError]`
- This is more resilient: new exception types auto-retry by default
- Simplified exception handling: ValueError = permanent, else = retry
- Transient errors logged at DEBUG (surreal-commands logs final failure)
- Permanent errors (ValueError) logged at ERROR
Ref #513
Migrate insight creation to the command system with automatic retry logic
to prevent SurrealDB transaction conflicts during batch imports.
Changes:
- Add create_insight_command with retry logic for transaction conflicts
- Add run_transformation_command for async transformation execution
- Make Source.add_insight() fire-and-forget (returns command_id)
- Update POST /sources/{id}/insights to return 202 Accepted immediately
- Frontend polls command status until complete, then refreshes
- Auto-update notebook page icon when source gains insights
- Add i18n keys for insight generation feedback

* feat: content-type aware chunking and unified embedding
- Add chunking.py with HTML, Markdown, and plain text detection
- Add embedding.py with mean pooling for large content
- Create dedicated commands: embed_note, embed_insight, embed_source
- Use fire-and-forget pattern for embedding via submit_command()
- Refactor rebuild_embeddings_command to delegate to individual commands
- Remove legacy commands and needs_embedding() methods
- Reduce chunk size to 1500 chars for Ollama compatibility
- Update CLAUDE.md documentation for new architecture
Fixes#350, #142
* fix: address code review issues
- Note.save() now returns command_id for tracking embedding jobs
- Add length check after generate_embeddings() to fail fast on mismatch
- Add numpy as explicit dependency (was transitive)
- Remove hardcoded chunk sizes from docstrings
* docs: address code review comments
- Rename "SYNC PATH" to "DOMAIN MODEL PATH" in embedding router
- Add test_chunking.py and test_embedding.py to Testing Strategy
- Clarify auto-embedding behavior for each domain model
* fix: clean thinking tags from prompt graph output
Adds clean_thinking_content() to prompt.py to handle extended thinking
models that return <think>...</think> tags. This fixes empty titles
when saving notes from chat.
* chore: remove local docker-compose from git
* fix(frontend): handle null parent_id in search results
Add defensive check for null parent_id in search results to prevent
"Cannot read properties of null (reading 'split')" error. This can
happen with orphaned records in the database.
* fix: cascade delete embeddings and insights when source is deleted
When deleting a Source, now also deletes associated:
- source_embedding records
- source_insight records
This prevents orphaned records that cause null parent_id errors
in vector search results.
* fix: add cleanup for orphan embedding/insight records in migration 10
Deletes source_embedding and source_insight records where the
linked source no longer exists (source.id = NONE).
* chore: bump esperanto to 2.16
Increases ctx_num for Ollama models to accommodate larger notebook
context windows. See: https://github.com/lfnovo/esperanto/pull/69
Addresses issue #362 - users were seeing hundreds of ERROR/WARNING logs
when processing large documents due to SurrealDB v2 transaction conflicts
during concurrent chunk embedding operations.
Changes:
- Upgraded to surreal-commands v1.3.0 which includes retry_log_level feature
- Increased retry attempts from 5 to 15 with max wait time 120s (from 30s)
to handle deep queues during concurrent processing
- Set retry_log_level to "debug" in embed_chunk and process_source commands
- Changed repository.py RuntimeError logging from ERROR to DEBUG level
- Updated command exception handlers to log retries at DEBUG level
- Updated documentation to reflect retry strategy
This is a temporary workaround for SurrealDB v2.x transaction conflict
issues with SEARCH indexes. Settings can be reduced after migrating to
SurrealDB v3 which fixes the underlying concurrency issue.
