alvis cba3f1a184 docs(services): update integrations + recommender READMEs for signal abstraction (#78)
integrations/README — replace stale Connector interface and fictional
libsodium vault with the actual SignalSource pattern, SQLite token table,
and real OAuth routes.

recommender/README — document the SignalAggregator pipeline, current
policy registry, and actual /recommend + /feedback contract shapes.

# recommender
The core of oO. Takes a user + context, returns **one** tip.
## Contract
```
POST /api/recommend
{ } (user inferred from session)
→ { tip: { id, content, source, kind, sourceId?, rationale?, createdAt } }
POST /api/tip/:id/feedback
{ action: "done"|"dismiss"|"snooze"|"helpful"|"not_helpful", dwellMs? }
→ { ok: true }
```
## Pipeline
1. **Signals**`SignalAggregator.fetchAll(userId)` fans out to all registered `SignalSource` implementations in parallel. Currently: `TodoistSignalSource`. Add a source via `aggregator.register(new MySource())`.
2. **LLM candidates**`POST /generate` on `ml/serving` returns `TipCandidate[]` from the `tip-generator` LiteLLM alias.
3. **Scoring** — all candidates sent to `ml/serving` active policy (`POST /score/egreedy`). Falls back to random if `ml/serving` is unreachable.
4. **Shadow policies** — active policy runs shadow policies in the same request for offline comparison (ADR-0002). Currently: `egreedy-v2` shadows `egreedy-v1`.
5. **Persistence**`tipViews` + `tipScores` rows written on every serve; `tipFeedback` row on reaction.
6. **Reward delivery** — reaction triggers `POST /reward/egreedy` on `ml/serving` with inferred reward value.
## Signal normalization
Signals carry `features: Record<string, number | boolean>` (bandit-ready) and `metadata: Record<string, unknown>` (source-specific raw fields). The bandit treats features as an opaque dict — sources own their feature names. See ADR-0009.
## Policy registry
| Policy | Status | Notes |
|--------|--------|-------|
| `random` | Shadow | Fallback when ml/serving unreachable |
| `egreedy-v1` | **Active** | d=7, ADR-0007 |
| `egreedy-v2` | Shadow | d=12 + profile features, ADR-0012 |
Shadow → active promotion requires offline sim + online agreement (ADR-0002).
## Extraction criteria
Extract to its own process at scaling hotspot: when `POST /recommend` p99 latency exceeds SLA or when recommendation CPU displaces API serving on shared host.
