Forgejo Client Search Integration with Ordinator Reranking Service

Overview

Integrate the forgejo-client Python library with the Ordinator reranking service to provide intelligent, semantic search capabilities for Forgejo issues and repositories.

Current State

  • forgejo-client: Basic issue listing and simple keyword matching
  • Ordinator: Running reranking service with Unix socket communication
  • Forgejo: Has ordinator integration but only server-side
  • Gap: No client-side semantic search capabilities

Proposed Implementation

Phase 1: Ordinator Client Module

File: tools/forgejo-client/modules/ordinator.py

class OrdinatorModule:
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client
        self.socket_path = '/var/run/reynard/ordinator.sock'
        self.timeout = 5
    def search_issues(self, query: str, repo_owner: str, repo_name: str, 
                      limit: int = 10) -> List[Dict]:
        """Search issues with semantic reranking"""
    def rerank_results(self, query: str, candidates: List[Dict]) -> List[Dict]:
        """Rerank search results using ordinator"""

Phase 2: Enhanced Issues Module

File: tools/forgejo-client/modules/issues.py

New Methods:

  • search_issues(query: str, use_reranking: bool = True) - Semantic search
  • find_similar_issues_semantic(query: str, limit: int = 5) - Advanced similarity
  • search_with_filters(query: str, filters: Dict, use_reranking: bool = True)

Enhanced Existing Methods:

  • find_similar_issues() - Add ordinator option
  • find_similar_issues_advanced() - Use ordinator instead of sklearn

Phase 3: Search Configuration

File: tools/forgejo-client/config.py

New Configuration:

@dataclass
class ForgejoConfig:
    # ... existing fields ...
    ordinator_enabled: bool = True
    ordinator_socket_path: str = '/var/run/reynard/ordinator.sock'
    ordinator_timeout: int = 5
    ordinator_strategy: str = 'default'
    search_cache_enabled: bool = True
    search_cache_ttl: int = 300  # 5 minutes

Phase 4: Client Integration

File: tools/forgejo-client/client.py

New Property:

@property
def ordinator(self):
    if self._ordinator_module is None:
        from modules.ordinator import OrdinatorModule
        self._ordinator_module = OrdinatorModule(self)
    return self._ordinator_module

Technical Architecture

Communication Protocol

  • Unix Socket: /var/run/reynard/ordinator.sock
  • Protocol: gRPC over Unix socket
  • Format: Protocol Buffers

Request Flow

  1. Client Search Request → forgejo-client
  2. Initial Candidates → Forgejo API (keyword search)
  3. Reranking Request → Ordinator service
  4. Reranked Results → Client
  5. Final Results → User

Data Structures

@dataclass
class SearchRequest:
    query: str
    repo_owner: str
    repo_name: str
    filters: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None
    limit: int = 10
    use_reranking: bool = True
    strategy: str = 'default'
@dataclass
class SearchResult:
    issue: Dict[str, Any]
    relevance_score: float
    match_reasons: List[str]
    reranked: bool = False

Implementation Details

Ordinator Protocol Buffer

File: tools/forgejo-client/proto/ordinator.proto

syntax = "proto3";
service OrdinatorService {
    rpc Rerank(RerankRequest) returns (RerankResponse);
    rpc Health(HealthRequest) returns (HealthResponse);
}
message RerankRequest {
    string query = 1;
    repeated string candidates = 2;
    string strategy = 3;
}
message RerankResponse {
    bool success = 1;
    repeated int32 reranked = 2;
    repeated float scores = 3;
}

Search Strategies

  1. semantic: Embedding-based similarity
  2. personalized: User preference weighted
  3. recency: Time-decay enhanced
  4. authority: Repository priority weighted

Caching Strategy

  • Search Results: 5-minute TTL
  • Embeddings: 1-hour TTL
  • Reranking: Per-query cache
  • Fallback: Basic keyword search if ordinator unavailable

API Examples

client = ForgejoClient(config)
results = client.ordinator.search_issues(
    query="zone pvp mechanics",
    repo_owner="kade",
    repo_name="spiffy",
    limit=10
)

Advanced Search with Filters

results = client.ordinator.search_issues(
    query="combat system",
    repo_owner="kade",
    repo_name="spiffy",
    filters={
        'state': 'open',
        'labels': ['combat', 'design'],
        'assignee': 'kade'
    },
    limit=5
)

Similar Issue Detection

similar = client.ordinator.find_similar_issues_semantic(
    query="territory control pvp",
    limit=3
)

Benefits

For Users

  • Semantic Search: Find issues by meaning, not just keywords
  • Personalized Results: Priority to user's repositories
  • Better Relevance: Ordinator's multi-factor scoring
  • Fast Performance: Cached results and streaming

For Developers

  • Easy Integration: Drop-in replacement for existing search
  • Backward Compatible: Existing methods still work
  • Configurable: Enable/disable ordinator per client
  • Extensible: Easy to add new search strategies

Testing Strategy

Unit Tests

  • Ordinator module communication
  • Search request/response handling
  • Configuration parsing
  • Error handling and fallbacks

Integration Tests

  • End-to-end search with live ordinator
  • Performance benchmarks
  • Cache behavior validation
  • Failover scenarios

Performance Tests

  • Search latency (< 100ms for 100 candidates)
  • Memory usage (< 50MB for client)
  • Cache hit rates (> 80%)
  • Concurrent search handling

Migration Plan

Phase 1 (Week 1): Foundation

  • Create ordinator module
  • Implement Unix socket communication
  • Add basic reranking functionality
  • Add configuration options

Phase 2 (Week 2): Integration

  • Enhance issues module with new search methods

  • Performance: Search latency < 100ms
  • Reliability: > 99% uptime with graceful fallback
  • Adoption: > 80% of search operations use reranking
  • Cache Efficiency: > 80% cache hit rate
