-# Memory Management
-
-Memory in RobotLab is a reactive key-value store that provides persistent storage for runtime data, conversation history, and arbitrary user-defined values. A single unified `Memory` class serves both standalone robot usage and shared network execution.
-
-## Memory Structure
-
-The `Memory` class holds:
-
-```ruby
-memory = RobotLab.create_memory(data: { user_id: "123" })
-
-memory.data        # StateProxy - custom key-value data with method-style access
-memory.results     # Array<RobotResult> - execution history
-memory.messages    # Array<Message> - conversation history
-memory.session_id  # String - optional persistence identifier
-memory.cache       # RubyLLM::SemanticCache when the optional gem is installed, else nil
-```
-
-## Standalone Robot Memory
-
-Every robot has its own inherent memory instance, accessible via `robot.memory`:
-
-```ruby
-robot = RobotLab.build(
-  name: "assistant",
-  system_prompt: "You are helpful."
-)
-
-# Access the robot's memory
-robot.memory[:user_name] = "Alice"
-robot.memory[:user_name]  #=> "Alice"
-
-# Run the robot
-result = robot.run("Hello!")
-
-# Memory persists between runs on the same robot instance
-robot.memory[:preference] = "dark_mode"
-result2 = robot.run("What are my preferences?")
-
-# Reset memory to initial state
-robot.reset_memory
-```
-
-`reset_memory` resets only the key-value store. It does **not** touch the robot's chat history — that is `robot.clear_messages(keep_system: true)`. The two are independent.
-
-## Network Shared Memory
-
-When robots execute within a network, they share the network's memory instead of using their own inherent memory. This enables inter-robot communication.
-
-```ruby
-classifier = RobotLab.build(name: "classifier", system_prompt: "Classify requests.")
-handler = RobotLab.build(name: "handler", system_prompt: "Handle requests.")
-
-network = RobotLab.create_network(name: "support") do
-  task :classifier, classifier, depends_on: :none
-  task :handler, handler, depends_on: [:classifier]
-end
-
-# The network has its own shared memory
-network.memory[:customer_tier] = "premium"
-
-# All robots in the network read/write from network.memory during execution
-result = network.run(message: "I need help with billing")
-
-# Reset network memory between runs if needed
-network.reset_memory
-```
-
-The memory resolution logic is:
-
-1. If `network_memory` is provided at runtime, use that
-2. If the robot is in a network, use the network's shared memory
-3. Otherwise, use the robot's own inherent memory (`robot.memory`)
-
-## Creating Memory
-
-### Basic Creation
-
-```ruby
-memory = RobotLab.create_memory
-```
-
-### With Initial Data
-
-```ruby
-memory = RobotLab.create_memory(
-  data: {
-    user_id: "user_123",
-    order_id: "ord_456",
-    priority: "high"
-  }
-)
-```
-
-### With Caching Disabled
-
-```ruby
-memory = RobotLab.create_memory(data: {}, enable_cache: false)
-```
-
-## Reserved Keys
-
-Memory has five reserved keys with special behavior and dedicated accessors:
-
-| Key | Type | Description |
-|-----|------|-------------|
-| `:data` | `StateProxy` | Runtime data with method-style access |
-| `:results` | `Array<RobotResult>` | Accumulated robot execution results |
-| `:messages` | `Array<Message>` | Conversation history |
-| `:session_id` | `String` | Conversation session identifier |
-| `:cache` | `RubyLLM::SemanticCache` or `nil` | Semantic cache module when the optional ruby_llm-semantic_cache gem is installed (read-only after init) |
-
-Reserved keys are accessed through dedicated methods and are excluded from `memory.keys`:
-
-```ruby
-memory.data[:category] = "billing"
-memory.data.category  #=> "billing"   (method-style via StateProxy)
-
-memory.results       #=> []
-memory.session_id    #=> nil
-memory.cache         #=> RubyLLM::SemanticCache (the module itself), or nil when enable_cache: false or the optional gem is absent
-```
-
-## StateProxy
-
-The `data` attribute is a `StateProxy` that provides convenient hash-style and method-style access:
-
-```ruby
-memory.data[:user_id]          # Hash-style access
-memory.data[:user_id] = "456"  # Assignment
-
-memory.data.user_id            # Method-style access
-memory.data.user_id = "456"    # Method-style assignment
-
-memory.data.key?(:user_id)     # Check existence
-memory.data.keys               # Get all keys
-memory.data.to_h               # Convert to plain hash
-```
-
-## Reactive Features
-
-Memory supports pub/sub semantics where robots can subscribe to key changes and optionally block until values become available.
-
-### Setting Values
-
-Use `memory.set(key, value)` to write a value, wake any waiters, and notify subscribers. Subscriber callbacks are dispatched through `Async { }`: inside a running reactor they run as fibers, but **outside** one they run synchronously on the writer's thread.
-
-```ruby
-memory.set(:sentiment, { score: 0.8, confidence: 0.95 })
-```
-
-The `[]=` operator also triggers reactive notifications for non-reserved keys:
-
-```ruby
-memory[:sentiment] = { score: 0.8 }  # Equivalent to memory.set(:sentiment, ...)
-```
-
-### Blocking Reads
-
-Use `memory.get(key, wait:)` to block until a value becomes available. This is useful for concurrent pipeline execution where one robot needs to wait for another's output:
-
-```ruby
-# Immediate read (returns nil if missing)
-memory.get(:sentiment)
-
-# Block indefinitely until value exists
-memory.get(:sentiment, wait: true)
-
-# Block up to 30 seconds, then raise RobotLab::AwaitTimeout
-memory.get(:sentiment, wait: 30)
-
-# Wait for multiple keys at once
-results = memory.get(:sentiment, :entities, :keywords, wait: 60)
-#=> { sentiment: {...}, entities: [...], keywords: [...] }
-```
-
-Two things to be careful with:
-
-- On expiry a blocking read **raises** `RobotLab::AwaitTimeout`; it does not return `nil`. Rescue it if a missing value is acceptable.
-- With multiple keys the timeout is applied **per missing key**, not to the call as a whole. `get_multiple` waits on the missing keys one at a time in order, so the call raises as soon as the *first* one expires — it does not spend the full 60 s on each. The 180 s worst case is only reached when the earlier keys arrive just before their own deadlines.
-
-### Subscriptions
-
-Subscribe to key changes with async callbacks. The callback receives a `MemoryChange` object:
-
-```ruby
-memory.subscribe(:raw_data) do |change|
-  puts "#{change.key} changed from #{change.previous} to #{change.value}"
-  puts "Written by: #{change.writer} at #{change.timestamp}"
-end
-
-# Subscribe to multiple keys
-memory.subscribe(:sentiment, :entities) do |change|
-  update_dashboard(change.key, change.value)
-end
-
-# Pattern-based subscriptions (glob-style matching)
-memory.subscribe_pattern("analysis:*") do |change|
-  puts "Analysis key #{change.key} updated"
-end
-
-# Unsubscribe
-sub_id = memory.subscribe(:status) { |c| puts c.value }
-memory.unsubscribe(sub_id)
-
-# Check if key has subscribers
-memory.subscribed?(:status)  #=> true/false
-```
-
-### MemoryChange
-
-The `MemoryChange` object provides context about what changed:
-
-```ruby
-change.key           #=> :sentiment
-change.value         #=> { score: 0.8 }
-change.previous      #=> nil (or previous value)
-change.writer        #=> "classifier" (robot name)
-change.network_name  #=> "support_pipeline"
-change.timestamp     #=> Time
-change.created?      #=> true (new key, no previous value)
-change.updated?      #=> false
-change.deleted?      #=> false
-```
-
-## Memory Lifecycle
-
-### Results
-
-Results track the history of robot executions:
-
-```ruby
-# Append a result
-memory.append_result(robot_result)
-
-# Get all results (returns a copy)
-memory.results
-
-# Get results from a specific index (for incremental persistence)
-memory.results_from(5)
-```
-
-Each `RobotResult` contains:
-
-```ruby
-result.robot_name       # Which robot produced this
-result.output           # [TextMessage] synthesized from the final response text
-result.tool_calls       # Array<ToolResultMessage> - effectively always empty (see Message Flow)
-result.stop_reason      # always nil for a robot.run result (see Message Flow)
-result.last_text_content # Convenience: last text content string
-result.input_tokens     # Prompt tokens for the run
-result.output_tokens    # Completion tokens for the run
-result.created_at       # When it was created
-```
-
-### Format History
-
-The `format_history` method prepares messages for LLM consumption:
-
-```ruby
-formatted = memory.format_history
-# Returns combined messages + formatted results
-```
-
-### Merge
-
-Merge additional values into memory:
-
-```ruby
-memory.merge!(user_id: 123, category: "billing")
-```
-
-### Key Management
-
-```ruby
-memory.key?(:user_id)      # Check existence
-memory.keys                 # Get all non-reserved keys
-memory.all_keys             # Get all keys including reserved
-memory.delete(:temp_data)   # Delete a specific key
-memory.clear                # Clear all non-reserved keys
-memory.reset                # Reset to initial state (preserves cache)
-```
-
-## Cloning
-
-Create independent copies of memory for isolated execution. Subscriptions are not cloned:
-
-```ruby
-original = RobotLab.create_memory(data: { count: 1 })
-cloned = original.clone
-
-cloned[:count] = 2
-original[:count]  #=> still 1
-```
-
-## Serialization
-
-Convert memory to and from hash for persistence:
-
-```ruby
-# To hash
-hash = memory.to_h
-#=> {
-#     data: { ... },
-#     results: [...],
-#     messages: [...],
-#     session_id: "abc123",
-#     custom: { my_key: "value" }
-#   }
-
-# To JSON
-json = memory.to_json
-
-# From hash
-memory = Memory.from_hash(hash)
-```
-
-`to_h` is compacted, so nil-valued reserved keys (a missing `session_id`, for instance) are omitted entirely rather than serialized as `nil`.
-
-## Semantic Cache
-
-Memory includes a semantic cache via `RubyLLM::SemanticCache` (optional ruby_llm-semantic_cache gem; not yet ruby_llm 2.0-compatible, so `memory.cache` is `nil` without it) that reduces costs and latency by returning cached responses for semantically equivalent queries:
-
-```ruby
-# Using the cache with fetch
-response = memory.cache.fetch("What is Ruby?") do
-  RubyLLM.chat.ask("What is Ruby?")
-end
-
-# Wrapping a chat instance
-chat = memory.cache.wrap(RubyLLM.chat(model: "gpt-4o"))
-chat.ask("What is Ruby?")  # Cached on semantic similarity
-```
-
-Caching can be disabled per-memory or per-robot:
-
-```ruby
-memory = RobotLab.create_memory(enable_cache: false)
-robot = RobotLab.build(name: "bot", system_prompt: "...", enable_cache: false)
-```
-
-## Backend Options
-
-Memory defaults to a Hash-based backend but can use Redis for distributed scenarios:
-
-```ruby
-# Try Redis, fall back to Hash
-memory = Memory.new(backend: :auto)
-
-# Hash backend — the only value that is honoured literally
-memory = Memory.new(backend: :hash)
-
-# Same behaviour as :auto — try Redis, fall back to Hash
-memory = Memory.new(backend: :redis)
-
-# Check what you actually got
-memory.redis?  #=> true/false
-```
-
-!!! note "`backend: :redis` does not force Redis"
-    `select_backend` special-cases only `:hash`; every other value (`:redis`,
-    `:auto`, anything else) takes the same branch —
-    `create_redis_backend || create_hash_backend`. `create_redis_backend`
-    returns `nil` when `redis` is unavailable and rescues `StandardError` to
-    `nil` on a connection failure, so an unreachable Redis silently downgrades
-    to a Hash with no exception and no warning. Always check `memory.redis?` if
-    the distinction matters.
-
-Redis is configured via `RobotLab.config.redis` or the `REDIS_URL` environment variable.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Use Memory for Cross-Robot Data
-
-```ruby
-# In a network, robots share memory automatically.
-# Robot A writes:
-memory.set(:classification, "billing")
-
-# Robot B reads:
-category = memory.get(:classification)
-```
-
-### 2. Use Blocking Reads for Concurrent Pipelines
-
-```ruby
-# When robots run in parallel, use blocking reads
-# to synchronize on shared data:
-results = memory.get(:sentiment, :entities, wait: 60)
-```
-
-### 3. Keep Data Minimal
-
-```ruby
-# Store references instead of large objects
-memory[:response_id] = response.id    # Preferred
-# memory[:huge_response] = api_response  # Avoid
-```
-
-### 4. Reset Between Independent Runs
-
-```ruby
-network.reset_memory
-result = network.run(message: "New conversation")
-```
