-## Option 2: Package Users (No Example Data)
+### Using the API
 
-**Best for**: Using REM as a service (API + CLI) without modifying code, bringing your own data.
-
-### Step 1: Start Database and API with Docker Compose
+Once configured, you can also use the OpenAI-compatible chat completions API:
 
 ```bash
-# Create a project directory
-mkdir my-rem-project && cd my-rem-project
-
-# Download docker-compose file from public gist
-curl -O https://gist.githubusercontent.com/percolating-sirsh/d117b673bc0edfdef1a5068ccd3cf3e5/raw/docker-compose.prebuilt.yml
-
-# IMPORTANT: Export API keys BEFORE running docker compose
-# Docker Compose reads env vars at startup - exporting them after won't work!
-
-# Required: OpenAI for embeddings (text-embedding-3-small)
-export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
-
-# Recommended: At least one chat completion provider
-export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."           # Claude Sonnet 4.5 (high quality)
-export CEREBRAS_API_KEY="csk-..."               # Cerebras (fast, cheap inference)
-
-# Start PostgreSQL + API
+# Start the API server (if not using docker-compose for API)
 docker compose -f docker-compose.prebuilt.yml up -d
 
-# Verify services are running
-curl http://localhost:8000/health
-```
-
-This starts:
-- **PostgreSQL** with pgvector on port **5051** (connection: `postgresql://rem:rem@localhost:5051/rem`)
-- **REM API** on port **8000** with OpenAI-compatible chat completions + MCP server
-- Uses pre-built Docker image from Docker Hub (no local build required)
-
-### Step 2: Install and Configure CLI (REQUIRED)
-
-**This step is required** before you can use REM - it installs the database schema and configures your LLM API keys.
-
-```bash
-# Install remdb package from PyPI
-pip install remdb[all]
-
-# Configure REM (defaults to port 5051 for package users)
-rem configure --install --claude-desktop
+# Test the API
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-Session-Id: a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
+    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What documents did Sarah Chen author?"}],
+    "stream": false
+  }'
 ```
 
-The interactive wizard will:
-1. **Configure PostgreSQL**: Defaults to `postgresql://rem:rem@localhost:5051/rem` (prebuilt docker-compose)
-   - Just press Enter to accept defaults
-   - Custom database: Enter your own host/port/credentials
-2. **Configure LLM providers**: Enter your OpenAI/Anthropic API keys
-3. **Install database tables**: Creates schema, functions, indexes (**required for CLI/API to work**)
-4. **Register with Claude Desktop**: Adds REM MCP server to Claude
-
-Configuration saved to `~/.rem/config.yaml` (can edit with `rem configure --edit`)
-
 **Port Guide:**
 - **5051**: Package users with `docker-compose.prebuilt.yml` (pre-built image)
 - **5050**: Developers with `docker-compose.yml` (local build)
-- **Custom**: Your own PostgreSQL database
 
 **Next Steps:**
 - See [CLI Reference](#cli-reference) for all available commands
 - See [REM Query Dialect](#rem-query-dialect) for query examples
 - See [API Endpoints](#api-endpoints) for OpenAI-compatible API usage
 
-### Step 3: Load Sample Data (Optional but Recommended)
-
-**Option A: Clone example datasets** (Recommended - works with all README examples)
-
-```bash
-# Clone datasets repository
-git clone https://github.com/Percolation-Labs/remstack-lab.git
-
-# Load quickstart dataset
-rem db load --file remstack-lab/datasets/quickstart/sample_data.yaml --user-id demo-user
-
-# Test with sample queries
-rem ask --user-id demo-user "What documents exist in the system?"
-rem ask --user-id demo-user "Show me meetings about API design"
-rem ask --user-id demo-user "Who is Sarah Chen?"
-
-# Try domain-specific datasets
-rem db load --file remstack-lab/datasets/domains/recruitment/scenarios/candidate_pipeline/data.yaml --user-id my-company
-rem ask --user-id my-company "Show me candidates with Python experience"
-```
-
-**Option B: Bring your own data**
-
-```bash
-# Ingest your own files
-echo "REM is a bio-inspired memory system for agentic AI workloads." > test-doc.txt
-rem process ingest test-doc.txt --user-id test-user --category documentation --tags rem,ai
-
-# Query your ingested data
-rem ask --user-id test-user "What do you know about REM from my knowledge base?"
-```
-
-### Step 4: Test the API
-
-```bash
-# Test the OpenAI-compatible chat completions API
-curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/chat/completions \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -H "X-User-Id: demo-user" \
-  -d '{

 ### Database Management
 
-#### `rem db migrate` - Run Migrations
+REM uses a **code-as-source-of-truth** approach for database schema management. Pydantic models define the schema, and the database is kept in sync via diff-based migrations.
 
-Apply database migrations (install.sql and install_models.sql).
+#### Schema Management Philosophy
+
+**Two migration files only:**
+- `001_install.sql` - Core infrastructure (extensions, functions, KV store)
+- `002_install_models.sql` - Entity tables (auto-generated from Pydantic models)
+
+**No incremental migrations** (003, 004, etc.) - the models file is always regenerated to match code.
+
+#### `rem db schema generate` - Regenerate Schema SQL
+
+Generate `002_install_models.sql` from registered Pydantic models.
 
 ```bash
-# Apply all migrations
-rem db migrate
+# Regenerate from model registry
+rem db schema generate
+
+# Output: src/rem/sql/migrations/002_install_models.sql
+```
 
-# Core infrastructure only (extensions, functions)
-rem db migrate --install
+This generates:
+- CREATE TABLE statements for each registered entity
+- Embeddings tables (`embeddings_<table>`)
+- KV_STORE triggers for cache maintenance
+- Foreground indexes (GIN for JSONB, B-tree for lookups)
 
-# Entity tables only (Resource, Message, etc.)
-rem db migrate --models
+#### `rem db diff` - Detect Schema Drift
 
-# Background indexes (HNSW for vectors)
-rem db migrate --background-indexes
+Compare Pydantic models against the live database using Alembic autogenerate.
+
+```bash
+# Show additive changes only (default, safe for production)
+rem db diff
+
+# Show all changes including drops
+rem db diff --strategy full
+
+# Show additive + safe type widenings
+rem db diff --strategy safe
 
-# Custom connection string
-rem db migrate --connection "postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db"
+# CI mode: exit 1 if drift detected
+rem db diff --check
 
-# Custom SQL directory
-rem db migrate --sql-dir /path/to/sql
+# Generate migration SQL for changes
+rem db diff --generate
 ```
 
-#### `rem db status` - Migration Status
+**Migration Strategies:**
+| Strategy | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `additive` | Only ADD columns/tables/indexes (safe, no data loss) - **default** |
+| `full` | All changes including DROPs (use with caution) |
+| `safe` | Additive + safe column type widenings (e.g., VARCHAR(50) → VARCHAR(256)) |
 
-Show applied migrations and execution times.
+**Output shows:**
+- `+ ADD COLUMN` - Column in model but not in DB
+- `- DROP COLUMN` - Column in DB but not in model (only with `--strategy full`)
+- `~ ALTER COLUMN` - Column type or constraints differ
+- `+ CREATE TABLE` / `- DROP TABLE` - Table additions/removals
+
+#### `rem db apply` - Apply SQL Directly
+
+Apply a SQL file directly to the database (bypasses migration tracking).
 
 ```bash
-rem db status
+# Apply with audit logging (default)
+rem db apply src/rem/sql/migrations/002_install_models.sql
+
+# Preview without executing
+rem db apply --dry-run src/rem/sql/migrations/002_install_models.sql
+
+# Apply without audit logging
+rem db apply --no-log src/rem/sql/migrations/002_install_models.sql
 ```
 
-#### `rem db rebuild-cache` - Rebuild KV Cache
+#### `rem db migrate` - Initial Setup
 
-Rebuild KV_STORE cache from entity tables (after database restart or bulk imports).
+Apply standard migrations (001 + 002). Use for initial setup only.
 
 ```bash

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Apple Silicon Mac: "Failed to build kreuzberg" Error
+
+**Problem**: Installation fails with `ERROR: Failed building wheel for kreuzberg` on Apple Silicon Macs.
+
+**Root Cause**: REM uses `kreuzberg>=4.0.0rc1` for document parsing with native ONNX/Rust table extraction. Kreuzberg 4.0.0rc1 provides pre-built wheels for ARM64 macOS (`macosx_14_0_arm64.whl`) but NOT for x86_64 (Intel) macOS. If you're using an x86_64 Python binary (running under Rosetta 2), pip cannot find a compatible wheel and attempts to build from source, which fails.
+
+**Solution**: Use ARM64 (native) Python instead of x86_64 Python.
+
+**Step 1: Verify your Python architecture**
+
+```bash
+python3 -c "import platform; print(f'Machine: {platform.machine()}')"
+```
+
+- **Correct**: `Machine: arm64` (native ARM Python)
+- **Wrong**: `Machine: x86_64` (Intel Python under Rosetta)
+
+**Step 2: Install ARM Python via Homebrew** (if not already installed)
+
+```bash
+# Install ARM Python
+brew install python@3.12
+
+# Verify it's ARM
+/opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12 -c "import platform; print(platform.machine())"
+# Should output: arm64
+```
+
+**Step 3: Create venv with ARM Python**
+
+```bash
+# Use full path to ARM Python
+/opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12 -m venv .venv
+
+# Activate and install
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install "remdb[all]"
+```
+
+**Why This Happens**: Some users have both Intel Homebrew (`/usr/local`) and ARM Homebrew (`/opt/homebrew`) installed. If your system `python3` points to the Intel version at `/usr/local/bin/python3`, you'll hit this issue. The fix is to explicitly use the ARM Python from `/opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12`.
+
+**Verification**: After successful installation, you should see:
+```
+Using cached kreuzberg-4.0.0rc1-cp310-abi3-macosx_14_0_arm64.whl (19.8 MB)
+Successfully installed ... kreuzberg-4.0.0rc1 ... remdb-0.3.10
+```
+
+## Using REM as a Library
+
+REM wraps FastAPI - extend it exactly as you would any FastAPI app.
+
+### Recommended Project Structure
+
+REM auto-detects `./agents/` and `./models/` folders - no configuration needed:
+
+```
+my-rem-app/
+├── agents/                 # Auto-detected for agent schemas
+│   ├── my-agent.yaml       # Custom agent (rem ask my-agent "query")
+│   └── another-agent.yaml
+├── models/                 # Auto-detected if __init__.py exists
+│   └── __init__.py         # Register models with @rem.register_model
+├── routers/                # Custom FastAPI routers
+│   └── custom.py
+├── main.py                 # Entry point
+└── pyproject.toml
+```
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```python
+# main.py
+from rem import create_app
+from fastapi import APIRouter
+
+# Create REM app (auto-detects ./agents/ and ./models/)
+app = create_app()
+
+# Add custom router
+router = APIRouter(prefix="/custom", tags=["custom"])
+
+@router.get("/hello")
+async def hello():
+    return {"message": "Hello from custom router!"}
+
+app.include_router(router)
+
+# Add custom MCP tool
+@app.mcp_server.tool()
+async def my_tool(query: str) -> dict:
+    """Custom MCP tool available to agents."""
+    return {"result": query}
+```
+
+### Custom Models (Auto-Detected)
+
+```python
+# models/__init__.py
+import rem
+from rem.models.core import CoreModel
+from pydantic import Field
+
+@rem.register_model
+class MyEntity(CoreModel):
+    """Custom entity - auto-registered for schema generation."""
+    name: str = Field(description="Entity name")
+    status: str = Field(default="active")
+```
+
+Run `rem db schema generate` to include your models in the database schema.
+
+### Custom Agents (Auto-Detected)
+
+```yaml
+# agents/my-agent.yaml
+type: object
+description: |
+  You are a helpful assistant that...
+
+properties:
+  answer:
+    type: string
+    description: Your response
+
+required:
+  - answer
+
+json_schema_extra:
+  kind: agent
+  name: my-agent
+  version: "1.0.0"
+  tools:
+    - search_rem
+```
+
+Test with: `rem ask my-agent "Hello!"`
+
+### Example Custom Router
+
+```python
+# routers/analytics.py
+from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends
+from rem.services.postgres import get_postgres_service
+
+router = APIRouter(prefix="/analytics", tags=["analytics"])
+
+@router.get("/stats")
+async def get_stats():
+    """Get database statistics."""
+    db = get_postgres_service()
+    if not db:
+        return {"error": "Database not available"}
+
+    await db.connect()
+    try:
+        result = await db.execute(
+            "SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM resources"
+        )
+        return {"resource_count": result[0]["count"]}
+    finally:
+        await db.disconnect()
+
+@router.get("/recent")
+async def get_recent(limit: int = 10):
+    """Get recent resources."""
+    db = get_postgres_service()
+    if not db:
+        return {"error": "Database not available"}
+
+    await db.connect()
+    try:
+        result = await db.execute(
+            f"SELECT label, category, created_at FROM resources ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT {limit}"
+        )
+        return {"resources": result}
+    finally:
+        await db.disconnect()
+```
+
+Include in main.py:
+
+```python
+from routers.analytics import router as analytics_router
+app.include_router(analytics_router)
+```
+
+### Running the App
+
+```bash
+# Development (auto-reload)
+uv run uvicorn main:app --reload --port 8000
+
+# Or use rem serve
+uv run rem serve --reload
+
+# Test agent
+uv run rem ask my-agent "What can you help me with?"
+
+# Test custom endpoint
+curl http://localhost:8000/analytics/stats
+```
+
+### Extension Points
+
+| Extension | How |
+|-----------|-----|
+| **Routes** | `app.include_router(router)` or `@app.get()` |
+| **MCP Tools** | `@app.mcp_server.tool()` decorator or `app.mcp_server.add_tool(fn)` |
+| **MCP Resources** | `@app.mcp_server.resource("uri://...")` or `app.mcp_server.add_resource(fn)` |
+| **MCP Prompts** | `@app.mcp_server.prompt()` or `app.mcp_server.add_prompt(fn)` |
+| **Models** | `rem.register_models(Model)` then `rem db schema generate` |
+| **Agent Schemas** | `rem.register_schema_path("./schemas")` or `SCHEMA__PATHS` env var |
+| **SQL Migrations** | Place in `sql/migrations/` (auto-detected) |
+
+### Custom Migrations
+
+REM automatically discovers migrations from two sources:
+
+1. **Package migrations** (001-099): Built-in migrations from the `remdb` package
+2. **User migrations** (100+): Your custom migrations in `./sql/migrations/`
+
+**Convention**: Place custom SQL files in `sql/migrations/` relative to your project root:
+
+```
+my-rem-app/
+├── sql/
+│   └── migrations/
+│       ├── 100_custom_table.sql      # Runs after package migrations
+│       ├── 101_add_indexes.sql
+│       └── 102_custom_functions.sql
+└── ...
+```
+
+**Numbering**: Use 100+ for user migrations to ensure they run after package migrations (001-099). All migrations are sorted by filename, so proper numbering ensures correct execution order.
+
+**Running migrations**:
+```bash
+# Apply all migrations (package + user)
+rem db migrate
+
+# Apply with background indexes (for production)
+rem db migrate --background-indexes
+```
