Unreleased

Added - Autonomous Scheduling: Timezone Support and Distributed Fire-Lock

vapora-workflow-engine — scheduling hardening

• Timezone-aware cron evaluation (chrono-tz = "0.10"):
  • ScheduledWorkflow.timezone: Option<String> — IANA identifier stored per-schedule
  • compute_next_fire_at_tz(expr, tz) / compute_next_fire_after_tz(expr, after, tz) — generic over chrono_tz::Tz; UTC fallback when tz = None
  • validate_timezone(tz) — compile-time exhaustive IANA enum, rejects unknown identifiers
  • compute_fire_times_tz in scheduler.rs — catch-up and normal firing both timezone-aware
  • Config-load validation: [workflows.schedule] timezone = "..." validated at startup (fail-fast)
• Distributed fire-lock (SurrealDB document-level atomic CAS):
  • scheduled_workflows gains locked_by: option<string> and locked_at: option<datetime> (migration 011)
  • ScheduleStore::try_acquire_fire_lock(id, instance_id, now) — conditional UPDATE ... WHERE locked_by IS NONE OR locked_at < $expiry; returns true only if update succeeded (non-empty result = lock acquired)
  • ScheduleStore::release_fire_lock(id, instance_id) — WHERE locked_by = $instance_id guard prevents stale release after TTL expiry
  • WorkflowScheduler.instance_id: String — UUID generated at startup, identifies lock owner
  • 120-second TTL: crashed instance's lock auto-expires within two scheduler ticks
  • Lock acquired before fire_with_lock, released in finally-style block after (warn on release failure, TTL fallback)
• New tests: test_validate_timezone_valid, test_validate_timezone_invalid, test_compute_next_fire_at_tz_utc, test_compute_next_fire_at_tz_named, test_compute_next_fire_at_tz_invalid_tz_fallback, test_compute_fires_with_catchup_named_tz, test_instance_id_is_unique
• Test count: 48 (was 41)

vapora-backend — schedule REST API surface

• ScheduleResponse, PutScheduleRequest, PatchScheduleRequest gain timezone: Option<String>
• validate_tz() helper validates at API boundary → 400 InvalidInput on unknown identifier
• put_schedule and patch_schedule use compute_next_fire_at_tz / compute_next_fire_after_tz
• fire_schedule uses compute_next_fire_after_tz with schedule's stored timezone

Migrations

• migrations/011_schedule_tz_lock.surql: DEFINE FIELD timezone, locked_by, locked_at on scheduled_workflows

Documentation

• ADR-0034: design rationale for chrono-tz selection and SurrealDB conditional UPDATE lock
• docs/features/workflow-orchestrator.md: Autonomous Scheduling section with TOML config, REST API table, timezone/distributed lock explanations, Prometheus metrics

Added - Workflow Engine Hardening (Persistence · Saga · Cedar)

vapora-workflow-engine — three new hardening layers

• persistence.rs: SurrealWorkflowStore — crash-recoverable WorkflowInstance state in SurrealDB
  • save() upserts on every state-mutating operation; serializes via serde_json::Value (surrealdb v3 SurrealValue requirement)
  • load_active() on startup restores all non-terminal instances to the in-memory DashMap
  • delete() removes terminal instances after completion
• saga.rs: SagaCompensator — reverse-order rollback dispatch via SwarmCoordinator
  • Iterates executed stages in reverse; skips stages without compensation_agents in StageConfig
  • Dispatches { type: "compensation", stage_name, workflow_id, original_context, artifacts_to_undo } payload
  • Best-effort: errors are logged and never propagated
• auth.rs: CedarAuthorizer — per-stage Cedar policy enforcement
  • load_from_dir(path) reads all *.cedar files and compiles a single PolicySet
  • Called before each SwarmCoordinator::assign_task(); deny returns WorkflowError::Unauthorized
  • Disabled when EngineConfig.cedar_policy_dir is None
• config.rs: StageConfig gains compensation_agents: Option<Vec<String>>; EngineConfig gains cedar_policy_dir: Option<String>
• instance.rs: WorkflowInstance::mark_current_task_failed() — isolates the current_stage_mut() borrow to avoid NLL conflicts and clippy excessive_nesting in on_task_failed()
• migrations/009_workflow_state.surql: SCHEMAFULL workflow_instances table; indexes on template_name and created_at
• New deps: surrealdb = { workspace = true }, cedar-policy = "4.9"
• Tests: 31 pass (5 new — auth × 3, saga × 2); 0 clippy warnings

vapora-knowledge-graph — surrealdb v3 compatibility fixes

• All response.take(0) call sites updated from custom #[derive(Deserialize)] structs to Vec<serde_json::Value> intermediary pattern
  • Affected: find_similar_executions, get_agent_success_rate, get_task_distribution, cleanup_old_executions, get_execution_count, get_executions_for_task_type, get_agent_executions, get_task_type_analytics, get_dashboard_metrics, get_cost_report, get_rlm_executions_by_doc, find_similar_rlm_tasks, get_rlm_execution_count, cleanup_old_rlm_executions
• Root cause: surrealdb v3 changed take() bound from T: DeserializeOwned to T: SurrealValue; serde_json::Value satisfies this; custom structs do not

---

Fixed - distro.just build and installation

• distro::install: now builds all 5 server binaries in one cargo build --release pass
  • Added vapora-a2a and vapora-mcp-server to the explicit build list (were missing; silently copied from stale target/release/ if present, skipped otherwise)
  • Added vapora-a2a to the install copy list (was absent entirely)
  • Missing binary → explicit warning with count; exits non-zero if zero installed
• distro::install-full: new recipe — runs install as a dependency then trunk build --release
  • Replaces the broken UI=true parameter approach: just 1.x treats KEY=value tokens as positional args to the first parameter when invoked via module syntax (distro::recipe), not as named overrides
  • Validates trunk is in PATH before attempting the build
• distro::install-targets: added wasm32-unknown-unknown; idempotent — checks rustup target list --installed before calling rustup target add
• distro::build-all-targets: excludes wasm32-unknown-unknown from the workspace loop; WASM requires per-crate trunk build, not cargo build --workspace --target wasm32

Added - NatsBridge + A2A JetStream Integration

vapora-agents — NatsBridge (real JetStream)

• nats_bridge.rs: new NatsBridge with real async_nats::jetstream::Context
  • submit_task() → JetStream publish with double-await ack, returns sequence number
  • subscribe_task_results() → durable pull consumer (WorkQueue retention), returns mpsc::Receiver<TaskResult>
  • list_agents() → reads from live AgentRegistry, never hardcoded
  • NatsBrokerConfig with sensible defaults; stream auto-created via get_or_create_stream
• swarm_adapter.rs: replaced all 3 stubs with real logic
  • select_agent() → swarm.submit_task_for_bidding() for load-balanced selection
  • report_completion() → swarm.update_agent_status() with load adjustment on failure
  • agent_load() → derives current tasks from fractional load via swarm.get_agent()

vapora-swarm — SwarmCoordinator::get_agent()

• Added pub fn get_agent(&self, agent_id: &str) -> Option<AgentProfile> to expose per-agent profiles from private DashMap

vapora-a2a — NatsBridge integration + SurrealDB serialization fixes

• CoordinatorBridge: replaced raw NatsClient with Option<Arc<NatsBridge>>
  • start_result_listener() uses JetStream pull consumer (at-least-once delivery)
  • dispatch() publishes to JetStream after coordinator assignment (non-fatal fallback)
  • list_agents() delegates to NatsBridge.list_agents()
• server.rs: added GET /a2a/agents endpoint
• task_manager.rs: fixed SurrealDB serialization
  • create(): switched from .content() to parameterized INSERT INTO query; avoids SurrealDB serializer failing on adjacently-tagged enums (A2aMessagePart)
  • get(): changed SELECT * to explicit field projection; excludes id (SurrealDB Thing) and casts datetimes with type::string() to avoid serde_json::Value deserialization failures
• Integration tests verified: 4/5 pass with SurrealDB + NATS; 5th requires live agent

vapora-leptos-ui

• Set doctest = false in [lib]: Leptos components require WASM reactive runtime; native doctests are incompatible by design

Added - NATS JetStream local container

• /containers/nats/: Docker Compose service following existing containers pattern
  • JetStream enabled via nats.conf (store_dir: /data, max_mem: 1G, max_file: 10G)

Key Architectural Decisions

• SCHEMALESS vs SCHEMAFULL: SurrealDB tables use SCHEMALESS to avoid conflicts with auto-generated id fields
• Hybrid Search: BM25 + Semantic + RRF outperforms either alone empirically
• Custom Implementation: Native Rust RLM vs Python frameworks (LangChain/LlamaIndex) for performance, control, and zero-cost abstractions
• Reuse from zircote/rlm-rs: 60-70% reuse (chunking, RRF, core types) as dependency, not fork

1.2.0 - 2026-01-11

Added - Phase 5.3: Multi-Agent Learning

• Learning Profiles: Per-task-type expertise tracking for each agent

  • LearningProfile struct with task-type expertise mapping
  • Success rate calculation with recency bias (7-day window weighted 3x)
  • Confidence scoring based on execution count (prevents small-sample overfitting)
  • Learning curve computation with exponential decay

• Agent Scoring Service: Unified agent selection combining swarm metrics + learning

  • Formula: final_score = 0.3*base + 0.5*expertise + 0.2*confidence
  • Base score from SwarmCoordinator (load balancing)
  • Expertise score from learning profiles (historical success)
  • Confidence weighting dampens low-execution-count agents

• Knowledge Graph Integration: Learning curve calculator

  • calculate_learning_curve() with time-series expertise evolution
  • apply_recency_bias() with exponential weighting formula
  • Aggregate by time windows (daily/weekly) for trend analysis

• Coordinator Enhancement: Learning-based agent selection

  • Extract task type from description/role
  • Query learning profiles for task-specific expertise
  • Replace simple load balancing with learning-aware scoring
  • Background profile synchronization (30s interval)

Added - Phase 5.4: Cost Optimization

• Budget Manager: Per-role cost enforcement

  • BudgetConfig with TOML serialization/deserialization
  • Role-specific monthly and weekly limits (in cents)
  • Automatic fallback provider when budget exceeded
  • Alert thresholds (default 80% utilization)
  • Weekly/monthly automatic resets

• Configuration Loading: Graceful budget initialization

  • BudgetConfig::load() with strict validation
  • BudgetConfig::load_or_default() with fallback to empty config
  • Environment variable override: BUDGET_CONFIG_PATH
  • Validation: limits > 0, thresholds in [0.0, 1.0]

• Cost-Aware Routing: Provider selection with budget constraints

  • Three-tier enforcement:
    1. Budget exceeded → force fallback provider
    2. Near threshold (>80%) → prefer cost-efficient providers
    3. Normal → rule-based routing with cost as tiebreaker
  • Cost efficiency ranking: (quality * 100) / (cost + 1)
  • Fallback chain ordering by cost (Ollama → Gemini → OpenAI → Claude)

• Prometheus Metrics: Real-time cost and budget monitoring

  • vapora_llm_budget_remaining_cents{role} - Monthly budget remaining

  • vapora_llm_cost_per_provider_cents{provider} - Cumulative cost per provider
  • vapora_llm_tokens_per_provider{provider,type} - Token usage tracking

• Grafana Dashboards: Visual monitoring

  • Budget utilization gauge (color thresholds: 70%, 90%, 100%)
  • Cost distribution pie chart (percentage per provider)
  • Fallback trigger time series (rate of fallback activations)
  • Agent assignment latency histogram (P50, P95, P99)
