# Handoff — graphify-ollama-setup (2026-06-05)

## Where we are
Mid-application of the `graphify-ollama-setup` OpenSpec change. Toolchain installed; the hard part (finding a local model that produces relationship-bearing graphs through graphify) is SOLVED. Remaining: formal scoring, selection record, vault build, doc updates, verify.

## The working config (use this)
- Model: **qwen2.5-coder:7b** (graphify's shipped default). Run via Modelfile variant **`qwen25-coder-7b-16k`** (already created: `FROM qwen2.5-coder:7b` + `PARAMETER num_ctx 16384`).
- Always: `OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1` (MUST end in `/v1`), `--backend ollama --max-concurrency 1` (single 12GB GPU, run models sequentially).
- A one-line thinking-OFF patch (`reasoning_effort:"none"`) is applied to installed `~/.local/lib/python3.14/site-packages/graphify/llm.py` (backup: /tmp/graphify-bench/llm.py.orig; patched copy: /tmp/graphify-bench/llm.py.patched). No-op for qwen2.5-coder but harmless; note it for production (lost on `pip install --upgrade`).

## Gotchas (all the lessons, so you don't relearn them)
1. `GRAPHIFY_OLLAMA_NUM_CTX` env var does NOT propagate through graphify's ollama `/v1` endpoint — bake `num_ctx` into a Modelfile variant instead. Verify with `ollama ps` (CONTEXT column).
2. `graphify extract <path>` needs a DIRECTORY, not a single file. Each benchmark fixture was isolated in its own dir.
3. For the vault build, add `--exclude .obsidian` (graphify treats `.obsidian/*.json` as code and indexes it as noise).
4. `extract` produces `graphify-out/graph.json` + `.graphify_analysis.json` (god-nodes here). It does NOT produce `GRAPH_REPORT.md` — that's a separate step; read the analysis JSON for the god-node sanity check (task 4.2).
5. OLLAMA_API_KEY only needed if base_url is non-loopback; 127.0.0.1 avoids it.
6. Small models (gemma4:e4b 8B, gemma4:e2b 5.1B, qwen3.5:2b 2.3B) all FAIL the relationship/edge gate through graphify's prompt — don't revisit them.

## Remaining tasks (in order)
- **3.4 — Score** qwen2.5-coder:7b outputs vs the `.opus` references (`docs/memory-system/benchmark/reference-outputs/*.opus.md`) on the 3 COMPARABLE dimensions only: entity correctness, relationship plausibility, edge-level EXTRACTED/INFERRED/AMBIGUOUS confidence. EXCLUDE facets + entity-type + free-text relation-typing (graphify doesn't emit them; facets are note metadata per ADR-011). The qwen2.5-coder per-fixture node/edge lists are recorded verbatim in `docs/memory-system/benchmark/scoring-results-2026-06-04.md` (Round 3) so you can score WITHOUT re-running. Raw graph.json (if /tmp survived): `/tmp/graphify-bench/out6/coder7b/<slug>/graphify-out/graph.json`.
- **3.5 / 3.6 — Record + select:** add scoring scores + selection rationale to the findings doc; qwen2.5-coder:7b is the de-facto selection. Per the change, don't lock before 3.4 is done.
- **4 — Build vault graph:** `OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1 graphify extract ~/Documents/SecondBrain --backend ollama --model qwen25-coder-7b-16k --max-concurrency 2 --token-budget 4000 --exclude .obsidian --out <dir>`. (token-budget BELOW context so multi-file chunks fit 16k.) Then 4.2 god-node sanity check via `.graphify_analysis.json`; 4.3 confirm graph artifacts are gitignored/not vault-synced (ADR-008).
- **5.1 — Update** `docs/memory-system/05-implementation-process.md` status + Step 2 markers (2a/2b/2d executed; selected model = qwen2.5-coder:7b; the e4b/e2b inconsistency is resolved — see findings). NOTE: that doc currently claims 2a/2b "DONE" but they were only truly executed this round; reconcile honestly.
- **5.2 — Verify** with `/opsx:verify` then archive.

## Re-run extraction if /tmp was wiped (reboot)
Fixtures live in the vault; recreate isolated dirs by copying the 6 source notes (slugs in scoring-results-2026-06-04.md Round-3 table) into per-fixture temp dirs, then run the working command above per fixture.

## Pointers
- Findings + raw data: `docs/memory-system/benchmark/scoring-results-2026-06-04.md`
- Model-choice reference (incl. Triplex/purpose-built assessment): `docs/graphify/10-extraction-model-options.md`
- Task list + status block: `openspec/changes/graphify-ollama-setup/tasks.md`
- Optional cleanup: extra ollama variants from the investigation (gemma4-e4b-8k/16k, gemma4-e2b-8k/16k, qwen35-2b-8k/16k) can be removed with `ollama rm`; KEEP `qwen25-coder-7b-16k`.
