Summary

  • REQUIRED fix: init_pml() now sets assignment[i] = -1 for all variables (unassigned). Previously calloc left sticky 0 (false), so pml_refine saw no unassigned vars, set flag = 1 immediately, and output_to_ppm() collapsed to all-black.
  • Extended memory_silo_t with associative slots + hash embeddings; recursive forward and backward integer-tree propagation preserved via update_silo().
  • peek: exact key and index paths kept; peek_semantic adds cosine similarity retrieval over embeddings.
  • SAT stack bridge: sat_bridge_literal / sat_bridge_clause / sat_bridge_assignment_meanings lift boolean/3SAT tokens into associative memory strings in the silo, coherent with output_to_ppm().
  • Mirrored from the same core change on drQedwards/pmll.

Test plan

  • gcc -Wall -Wextra -O2 -o pmll_test PMLL.c -lm and run demo
  • Confirm init assignments are -1 and PPM shows gray (0x80) for unassigned
  • Confirm peek(key=…) and peek_semantic hits on bridged clause strings

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added semantic memory storage for keys, content, and text embeddings.
    • Added exact, indexed, and similarity-based lookup capabilities.
    • Added integration between SAT literals, clauses, assignments, and associated meanings.
    • Added bidirectional propagation between tree structures and stored memory.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of unassigned and solved states.
    • Added safeguards for invalid calculations and output-file failures.
    • Improved cleanup and failure handling during memory initialization.
    • Improved compatibility with the latest memory server protocol.

Initialize every assignment[i] to -1 so refine no longer treats calloc
zeros as false and immediately sticks flag=1. Extend memory_silo_t with
associative slots and hash embeddings; peek keeps key/index lookup and
adds cosine semantic retrieval. Bridge 3SAT literals/clauses into silo
memory strings while preserving integer-tree forward/back propagation
and the existing output_to_ppm path.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

PMLL adds dynamic semantic silo storage with text embeddings and cosine lookup. It bridges SAT literals, clauses, and assignments into associative memory. Solver initialization, termination, cleanup, recursion bounds, PPM output, and the guarded demo are updated. Both MCP servers now use MCPServer, with MCP dependencies constrained to version 2.x.

Changes

Semantic silo and SAT integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Semantic silo storage APIs
PMLL.h, PMLL.c
Adds managed silo slots, fixed-dimension embeddings, exact lookup, semantic lookup, storage replacement, initialization, and cleanup.
SAT association and refinement
PMLL.c
Adds SAT meaning bridges, distinguishes undecided clauses from conflicts, persists solved assignments, and applies guarded recursion and step limits.
Output and executable validation
PMLL.c
Handles PPM file-open failure and guards a demo that checks allocation, initialization, lookups, unknown assignments, and solved state.

MCP server upgrade

Layer / File(s) Summary
MCPServer migration
Ppm-lib/pmll_mcp/pmll_mcp_server.py, mcp/pmll_memory_mcp/server.py, mcp/pyproject.toml, pyproject.toml, PPM.toml
Replaces FastMCP with MCPServer and constrains MCP dependency declarations to versions 2.x through, but excluding, 3.0.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e82fc

This PR changes initialization, semantic retrieval, and SAT bridging, but the current head still has a dependency constraint that may prevent the migrated servers from importing and a refinement-path correctness issue that can misreport satisfiable formulas. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

259-264: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Clamp the embedding length used for the stack buffer qvec.

qvec holds exactly PMLL_EMBED_DIM floats, but silo_embed_text writes silo->embed_dim floats into it. init_silo is the only current writer of embed_dim, so the two values match today. memory_silo_t and embed_dim are public in PMLL.h, so a caller that builds a silo directly, or raises embed_dim, causes a stack buffer overflow here. Clamp the dimension before the call.

🛡️ Proposed defensive clamp
     float qvec[PMLL_EMBED_DIM];
     float best = -1.0f, s;
-    int best_i = -1, i;
+    int best_i = -1, i, dim;
 
     if (!silo || !query) return 0;
-    silo_embed_text(query, qvec, silo->embed_dim);
+    dim = silo->embed_dim;
+    if (dim > PMLL_EMBED_DIM) dim = PMLL_EMBED_DIM;
+    silo_embed_text(query, qvec, dim);

Use dim in the silo_cosine_similarity call as well.

Consider prefixing the public peek symbol.

peek is a very generic external name in a public header. C has no namespaces, so this symbol can collide at link time with another library or translation unit that also defines peek. Every other new API in this header already uses a silo_ or sat_bridge_ prefix.

♻️ Proposed rename for consistency and collision safety
-int peek(memory_silo_t *silo, const char *key, int index,
-         const char **out_value, int *out_index);
+int silo_peek(memory_silo_t *silo, const char *key, int index,
+              const char **out_value, int *out_index);

Rename peek_semantic to silo_peek_semantic as well, and update the definitions and call sites in PMLL.c.

Synchronize MCP dependency metadata.

The ppm-ci workflow runs ppm resolve and uploads PPM.toml and PPM.lock. ppm resolve copies the PPM.toml constraints into PPM.lock, so mcp = "^1.0.0" can produce lock metadata incompatible with the MCP 2.x requirements in both Python manifests. Update PPM.toml to the MCP 2.x constraint and regenerate PPM.lock.

433-433: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Backtrack to a prior decision when both values fail.

After both values for unassigned conflict, this recursion keeps all earlier assignments unchanged. It then selects the same variable and repeats the same failed choices.

For (x1 ∨ x2) ∧ (x1 ∨ ¬x2), the solver fixes x1=0, retries both values of x2, and never flips x1 to the valid value 1. The logic loop later exhausts its budget and sets flag=1 with a partial, unsatisfied assignment.

Store decision levels and backtrack to the most recent flippable assignment before continuing. Set flag only after a complete assignment passes check_conflict.

Reject zero and INT_MIN literals before calling abs.

check_conflict can receive unvalidated clause_t literals through init_pml. For lit == 0, var becomes -1, and assignment[var] accesses assignment[-1]. abs(INT_MIN) has undefined behavior. Apply the guard in check_conflict and in pml_refine unit propagation.
