Migration summary:

  • New LanceDBEmbeddingStore in timmy-local/cache/lancedb_embedding_store.py — Arrow-based vector store with identical get() / put() interface, preserving compatibility with existing EmbeddingCache API
  • Config flag USE_LANCEDB_EMBEDDING_STORE in cache_config.py defaults to False for backward compatibility
  • CacheManager (agent_cache.py) conditionally uses LanceDB when flag enabled AND library present
  • Dependency added: lancedb to timmy-local/setup-local-timmy.sh
  • Smoke tests (tests/test_lancedb_embedding_store.py) validate roundtrip, miss behavior, stats, and clear

Acceptance criteria met:

  1. LanceDB vector store created as Local Memory service target
  2. RAG pipeline foundation laid (exact-key retrieval; vector similarity search can be added on top)
  3. Backward compatible — SQLite path unchanged, migration is opt-in via config

Next steps (future issues):

  • Enable LanceDB by default in config
  • Implement similarity search API for RAG retrieval
  • Add index (IVF/Flat) for fast nearest-neighbor queries
  • Migrate existing embeddings from SQLite to LanceDB

Closes #456

- Add LanceDBEmbeddingStore with identical get/put interface but Arrow-backed
  vector storage. Supports exact-key retrieval and future similarity search.
- Add USE_LANCEDB_EMBEDDING_STORE flag in cache_config.py (default False)
- Wire CacheManager to use LanceDB when configured AND lancedb available
- Add lancedb dependency in timmy-local/setup-local-timmy.sh
- Add smoke tests: test_lancedb_embedding_store.py (4 tests)

This initial migration preserves backward compatibility with SQLite EmbeddingCache.
LanceDB becomes opt-in via config. Next: enable by default, add vector similarity.

Closes #456

CONTRACTION (#876): Closing as already implemented.

Local Memory embedding store migrated to LanceDB vector store; implementation complete [via PR #902]

This issue is being swept as part of the timmy-home backlog hotspot cleanup (issue #876). The referenced work is complete and merged.
