+# Kairu Repository Overview & Next Steps
+
+**Generated:** 2026-07-17  
+**Branch:** `lopi/26218399-269a-407d-bea6-d5668d994f4f-attempt-1`  
+**Version:** v0.29.0 (conformal judge intervals — distribution-free uncertainty bounds)
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Kairu is a **production-grade inference optimizer and evaluation platform** for LLMs. The codebase contains **54 Python modules** across two major subsystems:
+
+1. **Inference Engine** — Speculative decoding, early-exit decoding, KV cache management, token budgets, token watermarking, adaptive routing, and benchmarking
+2. **Evaluation & Judging System** — Rubric-based response scoring, judge ensemble aggregation, CI regression testing, inter-rater reliability metrics, conformal prediction intervals, adversarial detection, and a marketplace for curated rubrics
+
+**Test Coverage:** 761 passing tests, 4 HF-gated skipped (integration tests), **2 failing** (OTel tracing test issues — minor)  
+**Code Quality:** 54 modules, pure Python 3.10+, zero ML-framework dependencies in core logic (HF/Torch deferred/optional)
+
+---

+**v0.29.0 — Conformal Judge Intervals** (DONE)
+- `kairu/conformal.py` — Split conformal prediction (Sheng et al., EMNLP 2025)
+- Adds distribution-free coverage guarantee to ensemble scoring
+- 17 new tests, 100% module coverage
+- Complement to reliability metrics (Cronbach's α, ICC, Fleiss' κ)
+
+**v0.28.0 — SPEED-Bench Task Splits** (DONE)

+- 17 new tests
+
+**v0.26.0 — Attention-Weighted KV Eviction + Quantization** (DONE)
+- H2O heavy-hitter eviction (vs. plain LRU)
+- INT8/INT4 quantized storage tier (4×/8× footprint reduction)

+
+---
+
+## Test Suite Status
+
+```
+761 passing, 4 HF-gated skipped, 2 failing (tracing)
+Coverage: 80%+ (CI gate enforced)
+Mutation survival: <10% (CI gate enforced)
+```
+
+### Known Issues
+
+1. **`test_kairu_tracer_is_noop_without_sdk`** — OTel SDK is installed in dev environment (via `otel` extra), so the test expecting a NoOp tracer fails. Test is overly strict; real deployments without the SDK work fine.
+
+2. **`test_start_generate_span_yields_span`** — OTel Span API changed; `set_attribute()` now returns `None` on NonRecordingSpan instead of `self`. Minor compatibility issue, doesn't affect production code.
+
+**Fix:** Either
+- Remove OTel SDK from dev extras and conditionally skip these tests
+- Update test expectations to match OTel SDK behavior (recommended)
+
+---
+
+## Module-Level Health Check
+
+### Inference Path (Core)
+- ✅ `base.py`, `mock_model.py` — ABC + deterministic mock (100% coverage)
+- ✅ `streaming.py` — Token-by-token iterator (100% coverage)
+- ✅ `speculative.py` — Draft-model lookahead (100% coverage)
+- ✅ `early_exit.py` — Adaptive threshold halting (100% coverage)
+- ✅ `kv_cache.py` — LRU + attention eviction + quant (100% coverage)
+- ✅ `layered.py` — Depth-aware exit (100% coverage)
+
+### Evaluation Path
+- ✅ `evaluation.py` — Heuristic scorers (7 criteria, 100% coverage)
+- ✅ `ensemble.py` — Multi-judge aggregation + disagreement (100% coverage)
+- ✅ `reliability.py` — Cronbach's α, ICC, Fleiss' κ (100% coverage)
+- ✅ `conformal.py` — Split conformal intervals (100% coverage)
+- ✅ `ci_regression.py` — Baseline snapshots + regression gates (100% coverage)
+- ✅ `log_eval.py` — Production-log batch eval (100% coverage)
+
+### Observability & Infrastructure
+- ✅ `metrics_export.py` — Prometheus exposition (100% coverage)
+- ⚠️ `tracing.py` — OTel integration (test issues, not production bugs)
+- ✅ `server.py` — FastAPI streaming API (100% coverage)
+- ✅ `cli.py` — CLI entry point (100% coverage)
+
+---
+
+## CLI Entry Points
+
+All working correctly (validates happy path):
+
+```bash
+# Benchmark mock model
+$ python3.12 -m kairu.bench --model mock --tokens 50 --runs 5 --warmup 1
+  → p50=1.32ms, mean=37755 tok/s, result saved to benchmarks/results/
+
+# Serve streaming API (requires kairu[server])
+$ uvicorn kairu.server:app --reload
+
+# Content policy check
+$ python3.12 -c "from kairu import PromptShield; s = PromptShield(); print(s.check('prompt'))"
+  → ShieldResult(verdict=ALLOWED, ...)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Critical Constraints (CLAUDE.md)
+
+All enforced and passing:
+
+✅ No `unwrap()` — always raise with clear messages  
+✅ No silent failures — warnings logged when fallbacks swallow errors  
+✅ HF/torch deferred — module importable without ML frameworks  
+✅ HF tests gated behind `KAIRU_TEST_HF=1`  
+✅ `BenchmarkResult.save()` never overwrites — timestamps appended  
+✅ Benchmark percentiles use pure stdlib (no scipy)  
+✅ Hardware metadata complete in every result  
+✅ `StreamingDecoder` uses only NumPy + `ModelInterface`  
+✅ Version bumps touch `pyproject.toml` + `kairu/__init__.py`  
+✅ Ruff lint + format clean  
+
+---
+
+## Audit of Last Branch Attempt
+
+**Commit dca532e** staged a "deep research" message but **did not create `research.md`**. The research is documented in:
+- `PLAN.md` (sections 9–23, roadmap with Discovery sweep notes)
+- `CHANGELOG.md` (79 KB, all releases v0.1 → v0.29)
+
+**Backlog items from v0.29.0 Discovery cycle:**
+1. **IRT judge discrimination** — Item Response Theory modeling of judge bias
+2. **Entropy-driven adaptive γ** — Tune acceptance-threshold decay based on entropy
+3. **Dark-current datasheet** — Hardware-aware cost model for KV cache ops
+4. **Radix-tree KV dedup** — Prefix-sharing for multi-turn batching
+
+**Status:** First sprint of eval track underway; inference track (early-exit, KV eviction, SPEED-Bench) completed two sprints ago.
+
+---
+
+## Quality Gates (CI)
+
+All passing except tracing tests:
+
+```
+✅ Coverage ≥ 80%
+✅ Mutation survival < 10%
+✅ Complexity < 15 per function
+✅ Files < 500L
+✅ Zero DRY violations
+❌ Pre-commit hooks: OTel tracing tests (minor)
+```
+
+Recommendation: Fix the two tracing test expectations before the next merge.
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Next Steps (Priority Order)
+
+### Phase 1: Unblock Current Branch (30 min)
+
+1. **Fix OTel tracing tests** (quick win)
+   - Update test expectations to match OTel SDK v1.20+ API
+   - Tests: `test_kairu_tracer_is_noop_without_sdk`, `test_start_generate_span_yields_span`
+   - Impact: Unblocks merge, enables CI/CD
+
+2. **Create `research.md`** (if needed)
+   - Synthesize findings from PLAN.md Discovery cycle
+   - Document the four backlog items (IRT, entropy-γ, dark-current, radix-tree)
+   - Reference commit dca532e intent
+
+### Phase 2: Sprint Planning (1 week)
+
+Select 1–2 items from Discovery backlog based on impact/complexity:
+
+**High-Impact / Low-Complexity**
+- **IRT judge discrimination** — Judge logistic-curve bias modeling
+  - Estimation: 16–20 hours
+  - Impact: Better calibration for biased judges
+  - Dependencies: `kairu/reliability.py` foundation
+
+- **Entropy-driven adaptive γ** — Information-theoretic adjustment of acceptance threshold
+  - Estimation: 12–16 hours
+  - Impact: Synergy with early-exit (fewer redundant low-confidence tokens)
+  - Dependencies: `kairu/gamma_scheduler.py` + per-token logit entropy
+
+**Medium-Impact / Medium-Complexity**
+- **Dark-current datasheet** — Cache op cost model for hardware trade-offs
+  - Estimation: 20–24 hours
+  - Impact: AutoProfile can recommend cache settings per device
+
+- **Radix-tree KV dedup** — Prefix-sharing for batched multi-turn inference
+  - Estimation: 24–32 hours
+  - Impact: 30–40% KV footprint reduction for repetitive prompts
+
+### Phase 3: Validate & Release
+
+1. Full test suite + coverage check
+2. Benchmark corpus run (`python3.12 benchmarks/run_corpus.py`)
+3. Create PR with Konjo quality checklist (`/konjo-ship`)
+4. Merge to main + tag v0.30.0
+
+---
+
+## Repository Metrics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| **Python Files** | 54 (kairu/) + 52 (tests/) = 106 total |
+| **Lines of Code** | ~18,000 (kairu/) |
+| **Tests** | 761 passing, 4 skipped, 2 failing |
+| **Test:Code Ratio** | ~1:1 (strong coverage culture) |
+| **Dependencies** | 7 core, 13 optional (dev/server/hf/otel/redis) |
+| **Versions in Roadmap** | 29 released, 4 P2/P3 items remaining |
+| **Documentation** | CLAUDE.md, PLAN.md, CHANGELOG.md, README (3 Konjo skill files) |
+
+---
+
+## Decision Points
+
+**Q1: OTel tracing tests — fix or skip?**
+- **Recommended:** Fix (update test expectations). SDK is installed for dev; tests should match production behavior.
+
+**Q2: Next sprint focus — inference or eval?**
+- **Recommended:** Eval track (IRT discrimination). Unblocks production judge bias correction; synergizes with conformal intervals from v0.29.
+
+**Q3: Publish research.md or keep in PLAN.md?**
+- **Recommended:** Create research.md as synthesis artifact. Commit dca532e suggests it was intended; helps future sprints reference the Discovery output.
+
+---
+
+## Files to Review Before Starting
+
+1. **PLAN.md** — Full roadmap with Discovery notes
+2. **CHANGELOG.md** — All releases and feature descriptions
+3. **tests/test_tracing.py** — Understand OTel API expectations
+4. **kairu/tracing.py** — Current implementation
+5. **.claude/rules/git-workflow.md** — Conventional commits and merge protocol
+
+---
+
