hypabolic-trajectory

Normalize coding-agent session transcripts into deterministic, versioned Trajectory contracts. Independent native Python 3.11+ runtime of the Hypabolic Trajectory product — same wire contracts and shared conformance suite as .NET, TypeScript, and Rust. No FFI to other language runtimes.

Published vs tree: NuGet / npm / crates 0.1.0 already ship without AHP. The first public PyPI cut of this package ships on the next synchronized multi-registry tag (with tip sources including AHP Shape A). Until that tag, install from this monorepo (editable) or wait for the tag.

Package map

Cross-ecosystem map (same product):

Install

# After first public tag (replace with the tag SemVer):
pip install hypabolic-trajectory==<tag-semver>
pip install 'hypabolic-trajectory[otel]==<tag-semver>'     # optional SDK sinks
pip install 'hypabolic-trajectory[io]==<tag-semver>'       # stream file I/O intent
pip install 'hypabolic-trajectory[ahp]==<tag-semver>'      # AHP client intent
pip install 'hypabolic-trajectory[hermes]==<tag-semver>'   # Hermes provider intent

# From this monorepo (development):
python -m pip install -e './python[dev]'
# Stream extras (optional install intent; modules already in the src tree):
python -m pip install -e './python[io,ahp,hermes,dev]'

The published wheel has no console scripts. The conformance runner and sample CLI (stream / ahp-stream included) are monorepo-only unpublished samples.

Sample CLI (unpublished)

# After editable install of the core package:
PYTHONPATH=python/samples python -m trajectory_cli list --source pi
PYTHONPATH=python/samples python -m trajectory_cli show \
  --source pi \
  --path conformance/cases/pi/tool-calls/input.jsonl
PYTHONPATH=python/samples python -m trajectory_cli browse
PYTHONPATH=python/samples python -m trajectory_cli stream \
  --source pi \
  --path conformance/cases/pi/tool-calls/input.jsonl \
  --max-updates 1

See samples/trajectory_cli/README.md.

Supported public imports (semver-stable)

Only these paths are supported:

1. Package root hypabolic_trajectory — names in root __all__
2. hypabolic_trajectory.ir — multi-project IR surface (ir.__all__)
3. hypabolic_trajectory.otel — always importable from the core wheel
4. hypabolic_trajectory.io — optional file stream I/O ([io] extra intent)
5. hypabolic_trajectory.ahp_client — optional AHP client ([ahp] extra intent)
6. hypabolic_trajectory.hermes_provider — optional Hermes provider ([hermes] extra intent)

Any other module path (api, engine, normalize, sources, …) is unsupported and may break without notice.

Quick usage

from pathlib import Path
from hypabolic_trajectory import (
    NormalizeRequest,
    TrajectorySource,
    list_trajectories,
    normalize_to_ir,
    project_hypabolic,
    project_letta,
    project_otel_genai,
    serialize_projection,
    TrajectoryEngine,
)

# Listing always takes an explicit root (no home default in library APIs).
page = list_trajectories(
    source=TrajectorySource.CLAUDE_CODE,
    root=Path.home() / ".claude" / "projects",
    limit=20,
)
session = page.items[0]

transcript = Path(session.path).read_bytes()
request = NormalizeRequest(
    source=TrajectorySource.CLAUDE_CODE,
    transcript=transcript,
)

ir = normalize_to_ir(request)
hypabolic = project_hypabolic(ir)
messages = project_letta(ir)
spans = project_otel_genai(ir)  # pure; no OTEL SDK required

# Product JSON emit (shared Trajectory string-escape; never stdlib json.dumps
# for identity/product schemas):
wire = serialize_projection(hypabolic)

# Engine (tip matrix including pure otel); free functions ignore engine mutations.
engine = TrajectoryEngine.create_default()
out = engine.project(ir, "hypabolic-trajectory-v1")

Filters (normalize options)

NormalizeOptions.filters controls content inclusion during normalization:

Bounds (options.bounds.tool_arguments / tool_results) cap argument/result character lengths with documented truncation strategies. Domain validation of options runs at free-function / engine entry (DTO construction does not raise TrajectoryError).

from hypabolic_trajectory import (
    Filters,
    NormalizeOptions,
    NormalizeRequest,
    TrajectorySource,
    normalize_to_ir,
)

request = NormalizeRequest(
    source=TrajectorySource.PI,
    transcript=b"...",
    options=NormalizeOptions(filters=Filters(tool_results="omit")),
)
ir = normalize_to_ir(request)

Dual timestamps

Source adapters and the normalizer preserve dual timing when present (never fabricated):

Public timestamp formats (filled timestamp_ms only — never source_timestamp_ms):

Identity formulas and string escape

Authority: contracts/spec/identity.md, contracts/spec/canonical-json.md, and peer goldens. Digests are 64 lowercase hex.

Trajectory string-escape (shared by canonical_json, serialize_projection, and each project_minimal_jsonl line):

1. Walk the string as UTF-16 code units.
2. Short escapes for ", \\, \b, \t, \n, \f, \r.
3. \uXXXX four uppercase hex for U+0000–001F, U+E000–F8FF, U+2028, U+2029, and surrogates; else UTF-8.
4. Do not escape solidus /; no Unicode normalization; no BOM.

Only identity hashing sorts object keys by UTF-16 code unit order via canonical_json. Product serialize_projection preserves insertion order.

Capabilities and sources

Advertised surface is the tip matrix in python/runtime-capabilities.json (must equal contracts/compatibility.json and peer TS/Rust manifests at ship):

• Sources: pi, claude-code, codex, openclaw, hermes, ahp (Shape A offline ChatState snapshot; listing Phase 3 stub)
• Outputs: letta-trajectory-v1, letta-canonical-v1, hypabolic-trajectory-v1, openai-chat-messages, jsonl-minimal, otel-genai-spans-v1
• Capabilities: normalize, normalize-partial, list-explicit-root, typed-diagnostics, typed-fatal-errors, deterministic-rerun
• Slice: ML13 (historical id; AHP is a post-0.1.0 source addition on tip)

Do not treat IMPLEMENTED_SOURCES as a registry claim — the capabilities file is authoritative for CI and advertising.

Conformance (filtered runner argv)

Protocol v1 runner (unpublished): python/tools/trajectory_conformance.

# Editable install + unit tests
python -m pip install -e './python[dev]'
python -m pytest python/tests -q

# Tip suite (unfiltered verify defaults to compatibility tip set):
python conformance/verify.py --repository-root . -- \
  env PYTHONPATH=python/src:python/tools python -m trajectory_conformance

# Progressive / filtered argv from claimed capabilities (fail-closed when ⊂ tip):
python conformance/verify.py --repository-root . \
  $(python tools/conformance_argv_from_capabilities.py --repository-root .) \
  -- \
  env PYTHONPATH=python/src:python/tools python -m trajectory_conformance

# Manual filters while iterating:
python conformance/verify.py --repository-root . \
  --source pi --operation normalize-letta --operation normalize-canonical -- \
  env PYTHONPATH=python/src:python/tools python -m trajectory_conformance

When claimed sources/outputs are a proper subset of tip, CI must pass explicit --source / --operation filters (generator: tools/conformance_argv_from_capabilities.py). Never run unfiltered verify while claimed ⊂ tip.
