F2 003 IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP claude

Documentation for F2_003_IMPLEMENTATION_ROADMAP_claude from the Foundation repository.

=== 20250622_1000_gemini.md === Of course. You’ve laid out a powerful and forward-thinking vision. The key is to translate that vision into a concrete technical design that respects the architectural principles we’ve established: maximum reusability in foundation, no unnecessary wrappers, and a clear path from simple optimization to recursive meta-optimization.

This document expands on the provided PRD and TDD, fleshing out the technical details to create a clear blueprint for implementation.


Enhanced Technical Design: Foundation as a Universal Agent OS

1. Executive Summary & Architectural Principles

This design solidifies the vision of Foundation as a generic, domain-agnostic “Agent Operating System” for the BEAM. It provides two distinct but related layers of abstraction:

  1. Foundation.MABEAM: The low-level “kernel” for multi-agent primitives. It manages processes, state, and coordination via economic models (auctions, markets). It knows how to make agents interact but not why.
  2. Foundation.Agents: A higher-level “standard library” for building goal-oriented agents. It sits atop MABEAM and provides a generic framework for planning and execution. It knows that an agent has a goal and a plan, but not what those goals are.

ElixirML consumes these layers directly, providing the ML-specific domain knowledge to translate a DSPEx.Program into a Foundation.Agents.Agent and an optimization problem into a Foundation.Agents.Goal.

2. Detailed Component Specifications

Here we expand upon the PRD and TDD, defining the precise interfaces and internal logic.

Epic 1: Foundation.MABEAM Core Enhancements

Feature 1.1: Universal Variable Orchestrator (Core)

The Core module is the central nervous system. Its primary job is to execute coordination functions associated with system-wide variables.

  • Data Structure (orchestration_variable):
    defstruct [
      :id,      # :active_coder_pool, :system_temperature
      :type,    # :resource_allocation, :parameter_tuning
      :agents,  # List of agent_ids this variable affects
      :coordination_fn, # The function to call to enact a change
      # e.g., &Foundation.MABEAM.Coordination.Auction.run_auction/3
      :adaptation_fn,   # (Optional) Function to auto-adjust this variable based on metrics
      :constraints      # e.g., max_agents: 5
    ]
    
  • Key Logic (coordinate_system/0):
    1. Iterates through all registered orchestration variables.
    2. For each variable, it gathers the current context (e.g., system load from Telemetry).
    3. It calls the variable’s :coordination_fn, passing in the affected agents and context.
    4. The result of the coordination_fn (e.g., the winner of an auction) is then used to update system state, for example, by directing the AgentRegistry to start or stop agents.
Feature 1.2: Advanced Agent Registry

This is more than a process registry; it’s an agent lifecycle manager.

  • Public Interface (register_agent/2): It accepts a generic configuration map, making it domain-agnostic.
    # This is how ElixirML would use it directly
    agent_config = %{
      module: ElixirML.Process.ProgramWorker, # The generic worker that wraps a DSPEx program
      args: [program_module: MyDSPExProgram],
      type: :ml_worker,
      restart_policy: {:permanent, max_restarts: 5, period_seconds: 60},
      capabilities: [:code_generation, :python],
      resource_requirements: %{memory_mb: 512}
    }
    Foundation.MABEAM.AgentRegistry.register_agent(:python_coder_1, agent_config)
    
  • Internal Logic (Health Monitoring): It will use Process.monitor/1 on every agent it starts. On a {:DOWN, ...} message, it will consult the agent’s restart_policy and either restart it, mark it as failed, or give up.
Feature 1.3: Coordination Protocols

These are pure, algorithmic modules. They take agents and context, and return a result.

  • Example: Auction.run_auction/3:
    • Input: run_auction(:cpu_time, [agent1, agent2], auction_type: :english, starting_price: 10)
    • Process:
      1. It does not know what :cpu_time is. It’s just an ID.
      2. It sends messages (e.g., GenServer.call) to the PIDs of agent1 and agent2, asking for their bids at the current price. This requires the agents to implement a simple :handle_bid_request callback.
      3. It iteratively increases the price and repeats step 2 until a winner is found.
    • Output: {:ok, %{winner: :agent2, payment: 50.0, ...}}

Epic 2: Foundation.Agents Framework (The New Generic Layer)

This is the key to enabling meta-optimization. It provides the structure for any kind of goal-oriented agent.

Feature 2.1: The Agent Behaviour

File: lib/foundation/agents/agent.ex

defmodule Foundation.Agents.Agent do
  @moduledoc "A generic behaviour for a goal-oriented, reasoning agent."

  alias Foundation.Agents.{Goal, Plan, Step}

  # An agent receives a high-level goal and must return a plan.
  @callback plan(goal :: Goal.t(), state :: map()) :: {:ok, Plan.t()} | {:error, term()}

  # An agent receives a single step from a plan and must execute it.
  @callback execute_step(step :: Step.t(), state :: map()) :: {:ok, result :: term()} | {:error, term()}

  # An agent declares its capabilities for planner matching.
  @callback get_capabilities() :: [atom()]
end
Feature 2.2: The Generic Planner

The Planner is the brain of this layer. It’s a deterministic executor, not an AI itself.

File: lib/foundation/agents/planner.ex

defmodule Foundation.Agents.Planner do
  alias Foundation.MABEAM.{AgentRegistry, Coordination}
  alias Foundation.Agents.{Goal, Plan}

  # This is the entry point for meta-optimizers.
  def execute_goal(goal, available_agents_by_capability) do
    # 1. Decompose the goal into a logical plan (this part is simple initially)
    plan = decompose(goal)

    # 2. Find and start the necessary agents using the generic MABEAM API
    required_capabilities = Enum.map(plan.steps, & &1.required_capability)
    agent_assignments = assign_agents(required_capabilities, available_agents_by_capability)
    
    for {step, agent_id} <- agent_assignments do
      # This is a direct call to the generic MABEAM layer
      AgentRegistry.start_agent(agent_id) 
    end

    # 3. Execute the plan
    execute_plan(plan, agent_assignments)
  end

  defp execute_plan(plan, assignments) do
    # This is where the coordination logic happens.
    # It sends `:execute_step` messages to the assigned agents' PIDs,
    # respecting the plan's dependency graph.
    # It might use MABEAM.Coordination.barrier_sync to wait for parallel steps.
  end
end

Epic 3: ElixirML Integration (The Minimal, Essential Bridge)

As established, this is a translator, not a wrapper.

The agentize Function

This is the most critical piece of the bridge.

File: lib/elixir_ml/mabeam/integration.ex

defmodule ElixirML.MABEAM.Integration do
  # This module implements the generic `Foundation.Agents.Agent` behaviour
  # for DSPEx programs.

  defstruct [:program_module, :variable_config]

  @behaviour Foundation.Agents.Agent

  # `plan/2` is simple for a program-as-agent: the plan is a single step.
  @impl Foundation.Agents.Agent
  def plan(goal, state) do
    # Translate the generic goal into specific DSPEx input fields.
    dspex_inputs = translate_goal_to_inputs(goal, state.program_module)
    
    step = %Foundation.Agents.Step{
      id: :execute_program,
      action: :forward,
      params: dspex_inputs,
      required_capability: state.program_module.get_capability() # e.g., :code_generation_python
    }
    
    plan = %Foundation.Agents.Plan{steps: [step]}
    {:ok, plan}
  end

  # `execute_step/2` calls the DSPEx program's `forward` function.
  @impl Foundation.Agents.Agent
  def execute_step(step, state) do
    DSPEx.Program.forward(state.program_module, step.params, config: state.variable_config)
  end
  
  @impl Foundation.Agents.Agent
  def get_capabilities, do: # ...
end

When Foundation.Agents.Planner tells an “agent” to execute a step, it’s actually calling the execute_step callback on this bridge module, which in turn runs the DSPEx.Program. This is how the generic framework drives the specific ML logic without knowing anything about it.


Epic 4: DSPEx Universal Optimizer Structure

The optimizer operates on the OptimizationTarget behaviour.

Example: A Meta-Optimizer evaluate implementation

# In DSPEx.AgentTeam.OptimizerTarget

@impl DSPEx.Teleprompter.OptimizationTarget
def evaluate(target, _training_data, metric_fn) do
  # 1. Get the architecture chosen by the optimizer for this run.
  architecture = target.current_architecture
  # e.g., %{coder: PythonCoder, reviewer: StrictReviewer}

  # 2. Build the high-level goal for the generic Foundation.Agents layer.
  goal = %Foundation.Agents.Goal{
    id: :build_feature,
    description: "Implement and review the user login feature.",
    # The Planner will use this to find agents with matching capabilities
    steps: [
      %{id: :coding, capability: :code_generation, input: "feature specs..."},
      %{id: :review, capability: :code_review, depends_on: :coding}
    ]
  }

  # 3. Define the pool of available agents for the planner.
  available_agents = %{
    code_generation: [architecture.coder],
    code_review: [architecture.reviewer]
  }

  # 4. DIRECTLY CALL the generic Foundation.Agents Planner.
  #    This is the "system call" from the ML application to the Agent OS.
  case Foundation.Agents.Planner.execute_goal(goal, available_agents) do
    {:ok, final_result} ->
      # 5. Score the result and return it to the optimizer.
      score = metric_fn.(final_result)
      {:ok, score}
    
    {:error, reason} ->
      {:error, reason}
  end
end

This detailed design provides a clear path forward, respecting the architectural principles and enabling the powerful, layered optimization you envisioned. It makes Foundation a truly reusable and powerful asset while keeping ElixirML and DSPEx focused on their core ML competencies.

=== 20250622_1001_gemini.md === Excellent. This is a critical and insightful refinement of the architecture. Decoupling the generic Agents framework from Foundation and treating it as a separate, dependent layer is the correct move. It purifies Foundation into a true, reusable BEAM infrastructure library and provides maximum flexibility for ElixirML to evolve its agentic capabilities independently.

This new structure perfectly supports your vision of parallel non-agentic and agentic workflows, culminating in powerful meta-optimizers.

Here is the comprehensive architectural plan and revised Foundation PRD that reflects this more sophisticated, layered approach.


Part 1: The New Grand Architecture - Parallel Stacks

This new architecture clearly delineates two primary workflows: a direct, non-agentic path for standard program optimization, and a more advanced agentic path that leverages the new Agents layer for meta-optimization.

Workflow Explanation:

  1. Non-Agentic Path (Left Side): This is for standard DSPy functionality. A Base Optimizer in DSPEx uses ElixirML’s core Variable and Schema systems. To execute a program, it can directly use Foundation.MABEAM.AgentRegistry to start a simple process, bypassing the Agents layer entirely. This is lean, fast, and efficient for single-program optimization.

  2. Agentic Path (Right Side): This is for advanced meta-optimization.

    • An Agentic Meta-Optimizer in DSPEx orchestrates the workflow.
    • It interacts with the Agentic Bridge in ElixirML to define what constitutes an agent (e.g., mapping a DSPEx.Program to the Agent behaviour) and what architectural variables to tune.
    • The ElixirML bridge then uses the new, separate Agents module to create high-level goals and plans.
    • The Agents module, in turn, uses the low-level primitives from Foundation.MABEAM to execute its plans (e.g., “start 3 worker processes,” “run a resource auction”).

This parallel design perfectly isolates the complexity. Simple workflows don’t pay the overhead of the agentic framework, while complex workflows have a powerful, generic foundation to build upon.


Part 2: Revised Foundation MABEAM Enhancement PRD

This PRD is now leaner and more focused. The Foundation.Agents epic has been removed and will become its own separate project.

Product Requirements Document
Version 2.0 (Refined Scope)

Executive Summary

This PRD defines the enhancement of Foundation’s MABEAM system to serve as the universal primitive layer for multi-agent coordination on the BEAM. It provides the low-level, domain-agnostic “kernel” functionalities—process management, state synchronization, and economic coordination—upon which higher-level agent frameworks (like the planned Agents module and ElixirML) can be built. This enhancement solidifies Foundation’s role as a reusable, high-performance infrastructure library for any distributed Elixir application.

Epic 1: Production-Ready MABEAM Primitives (The “Kernel”)

Objective: To provide a robust, generic, and performant set of tools for managing and coordinating groups of supervised processes (referred to generically as “agents”).

  • Feature 1.1: Universal Variable Orchestrator (Core)

    • Requirement: Manage system-wide variables that trigger generic coordination functions. The Core orchestrator should not have any domain-specific logic.
    • Acceptance Criteria:
      • Can register a variable with a reference to a coordination function (e.g., &MyCoordination.run/3).
      • coordinate_system/0 successfully invokes these functions, passing the relevant context.
      • The system is fully observable via Foundation.Telemetry.
  • Feature 1.2: Advanced Process Registry (AgentRegistry)

    • Requirement: Sophisticated lifecycle management for any supervised process, configured via a generic map.
    • Acceptance Criteria:
      • register_agent/2 accepts a generic %{module: ..., args: ..., restart_policy: ...} config.
      • Manages starting, stopping, and restarting these processes according to their policy.
      • Provides health status based on process liveness (Process.alive?/1).
      • Tracks basic resource usage (memory, message queue length) for registered PIDs.
  • Feature 1.3: Pluggable Coordination Protocols (Coordination)

    • Requirement: A framework for executing domain-agnostic coordination algorithms like auctions and consensus.
    • Acceptance Criteria:
      • register_protocol/2 allows adding new coordination algorithms at runtime.
      • Includes built-in, generic implementations for Auction (sealed-bid, English), Market (equilibrium finding), and Consensus (majority vote).
      • These protocols communicate with registered processes via a simple, defined message-passing interface (e.g., a :get_bid GenServer call), keeping them decoupled.

Epic 2: Distribution and Clustering Primitives

Objective: To enable MABEAM coordination to scale across multiple BEAM nodes.

  • Feature 2.1: Cluster-Aware Registry & Orchestrator

    • Requirement: The AgentRegistry and Core orchestrator must be ableto operate across a distributed BEAM cluster.
    • Acceptance Criteria:
      • Can register and start a process on a remote node.
      • Can coordinate processes running on different nodes.
      • Leverages Horde or a similar library for distributed process supervision and registry.
  • Feature 2.2: Generic Process Migration

    • Requirement: Provide a primitive for migrating a generic process (and its state) from one node to another.
    • Acceptance Criteria:
      • MABEAM.migrate_process(pid, destination_node) successfully moves a GenServer’s state.
      • The migration is stateful and handles temporary network failures.
  • Feature 2.3: Distributed Variable Primitives

    • Requirement: Provide primitives for synchronizing a shared value across multiple nodes.
    • Acceptance Criteria:
      • Includes strategies for eventual consistency (gossip) and strong consistency (consensus via Raft/Paxos-lite).
      • Provides basic conflict resolution like last_write_wins.

OUT OF SCOPE for this PRD:

  • The Agents Framework: The higher-level concepts of Goal, Plan, and the Agent behaviour are not part of Foundation. This will be a separate module/library that depends on this enhanced Foundation.MABEAM.
  • ML-Specific Logic: All translation from DSPEx.Program to a generic process config, and from ElixirML.Variable to an orchestration plan, resides exclusively in ElixirML.

Part 3: Revised Foundation MABEAM Technical Design

The technical design is now simplified and purified, removing all high-level agentic concepts.

  • Foundation.MABEAM.AgentRegistry:

    • register_agent(id, config): The config map is now strictly generic. It contains :module, :args, :restart_policy, and optional :capabilities (a simple list of atoms like :database_access or :gpu_enabled that are domain-agnostic).
    • Supervision: Will use a DynamicSupervisor to start children based on the provided :module and :args. The agent module itself must conform to a standard child spec (e.g., implement start_link/1).
  • Foundation.MABEAM.Coordination:

    • Interaction Model: When a coordination protocol needs input from a process (e.g., an auction needs a bid), it will use a standardized GenServer.call(pid, {:mabeam_coordination_request, request}).
    • Example Request: {:mabeam_coordination_request, %{protocol: :auction, type: :get_bid, current_price: 50.0}}.
    • Responsibility: It is the responsibility of the agent process module (e.g., the ElixirML.Process.ProgramWorker) to implement the handle_call for this message, not Foundation. This keeps Foundation decoupled.
  • API Purity: All function names and types will be reviewed to remove high-level agentic language. For instance, functions related to the Agents framework (handle_goal, plan) will not exist anywhere in Foundation.

Part 4: Revised Implementation Roadmap

The roadmap is now more focused on delivering the core primitives first.

  • Phase 1: Core MABEAM Primitives (Weeks 1-4)

    • Goal: Implement a fully functional, single-node Core, AgentRegistry, and Types.
    • Deliverables: Robust process lifecycle management and basic telemetry.
  • Phase 2: Coordination Protocols (Weeks 5-8)

    • Goal: Implement the generic Coordination engine and the Auction, Market, and Consensus modules.
    • Deliverables: A set of pluggable, domain-agnostic algorithms for resource allocation and agreement. The standard message-passing interface (:mabeam_coordination_request) will be finalized.
  • Phase 3: Distribution & Clustering (Weeks 9-12)

    • Goal: Make the primitives work across a BEAM cluster.
    • Deliverables: Distributed AgentRegistry, process migration, and basic distributed variable synchronization.
  • Phase 4: Hardening & Production Readiness (Weeks 13-16)

    • Goal: Performance optimization, comprehensive documentation, and developer tools.
    • Deliverables: Benchmarks, deployment guides, and observability dashboards.

This refined plan creates a powerful, reusable Foundation.MABEAM layer that perfectly serves as the “kernel” for the forthcoming Agents module and the broader ElixirML/DSPEx ecosystem, without baking in any domain-specific logic.

Example 1: Zero-Config Development

# mix.exs - Just add Foundation
{:foundation, "~> 2.0"}

# lib/my_app/application.ex
defmodule MyApp.Application do
  def start(_type, _args) do
    children = [
      # Foundation automatically handles clustering in development
      {Foundation, []},
      
      # Your services work distributed automatically

    Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
  end
end

# Start multiple nodes for development
# iex --name dev1@localhost -S mix
# iex --name dev2@localhost -S mix
# Foundation automatically discovers and connects them via mdns_lite

Example 2: One-Line Production

# config/prod.exs
config :foundation,
  cluster: :kubernetes  # That's it!

# Foundation automatically:
# - Configures libcluster with Kubernetes strategy
# - Sets up Horde for distributed processes

      # ElixirScope automatically traces across all nodes
      ElixirScope.complete_trace(request_id)
    end
  end
end

Example 5: DSPEx Distributed Optimization

# Leverage Foundation for distributed AI optimization
defmodule MyApp.AIOptimization do
  def optimize_model_across_cluster() do
    # DSPEx + Foundation = distributed AI optimization
    program = create_base_program()
    dataset = load_training_dataset()

      DSPEx.BootstrapFewShot,
      program,
      dataset, 
      metric,
      cluster: :ai,
      max_workers: Foundation.Cluster.node_count(:ai) * 4

        mode: :hostname,
        kubernetes_node_basename: "myapp",
        kubernetes_selector: "app=myapp"
      ]
    ]
  ]

# After: Foundation orchestration
config :foundation,
  cluster: :kubernetes  # Foundation handles the rest
  
# Migration helper
Foundation.Migration.from_libcluster(existing_libcluster_config)

From Swarm

# Before: Swarm registration
Swarm.register_name(:my_process, MyProcess, :start_link, [args])

# After: Foundation process management  
Foundation.ProcessManager.start_distributed_process(
  MyProcess,
  args,
  name: :my_process,
  strategy: :singleton
)

# Migration helper
Foundation.Migration.from_swarm(existing_swarm_processes)

From Manual OTP Distribution

# Before: Manual distribution setup
children = [
  {Phoenix.PubSub, name: MyApp.PubSub},
  {Registry, keys: :unique, name: MyApp.Registry},
  MyApp.Worker
]

# After: Foundation orchestration
children = [
