Principles
- Every model has a model card in
registry/describing inputs, offline metrics, fairness checks, and rollout history. - Online inference must be stateless and < 50ms p99.
- Training reads from the offline feature store; serving reads from the online feature store; definitions are shared (no train/serve skew).
- Shadow deploys before any policy change that affects real users.
Profile-feature contract
User-level features (completion rate, preferred hour, tip volume…) are computed
by the TypeScript recommender and shipped to ml/serving on every /score and
/generate call as profile_features: dict | None. The Python mirror in
features/profile_schema.py documents the available names + dtypes — keep it
in sync with services/api/src/profile/registry.ts (a CI-style test asserts
the name sets match). See ADR-0011.
Prompt registry
serving/prompts.py keys tip-generation prompts by stable version string. Adding a new variant means adding an entry — no caller changes. Selection precedence: POST /generate body's prompt_version field → env DEFAULT_PROMPT_VERSION → "v1". The TypeScript recommender drives selection via TIP_PROMPT_VERSION (single value or comma-separated rotation); the version actually used flows back in the response and is persisted to tip_scores.prompt_version so the admin reward-analytics dashboard can bucket reactions per variant.
