+* **Always test locally first** before committing and deploying. The build-deploy loop is slow.
+* **Start the local server** with `./wakeup.sh` - logs are written to `logs/server.log` for easy tailing
+* **Auto-reload**: The wakeup script runs uvicorn in reload mode - code changes are picked up automatically without restart (except for requirements.txt changes)
+* **Test REST endpoints** against `http://localhost:8777` using curl or similar tools
+* **Only deploy** when a phase or feature is complete and tested locally
+* **Environment**: Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and configure for your local setup (Ollama, Redis, Qdrant hosts)

 ## [Unreleased]

+## [1.5.0] - 2025-12-15
+
+### Added
+
+#### The Housekeeper Agent
+- **New home automation expert agent** following the Librarian pattern
+- `CoreAPIClient` for communicating with core-api service (Home Assistant wrapper)
+- 13 tools for home automation:
+  - Discovery: `list_areas`, `list_devices`, `get_device_state`
+  - Control: `turn_on`, `turn_off`, `toggle`
+  - Scenes: `list_scenes`, `activate_scene`
+  - Scripts: `list_scripts`, `run_script`
+  - Automations: `list_automations`, `toggle_automation`
+  - History: `get_history`
+- PydanticAI agent with system prompt for home automation tasks
+- `HouseholdCapability` registration with domains: lights, switches, automation, home, smart home, scene, script, device, climate, fan, cover, blinds
+- `delegate_to_housekeeper()` delegation wrapper
+- Config settings: `CORE_API_HOST`, `CORE_API_KEY`, `CORE_API_TIMEOUT`
+
+#### Development Port Change
+- **Dev server port changed from 8123 to 8777** to avoid conflict with Home Assistant default port
+- Updated `wakeup.sh`, E2E tests, and documentation
+
+### Changed
+
+- All unit tests pass (421 passed, 5 xfailed)
+- Housekeeper registered on startup alongside Librarian and Biographer
+
+## [1.4.0] - 2025-12-14
+
+### Added
+
+#### Environment-Aware Configuration
+- **Auto-selected logging level**: DEBUG for development, WARNING for production
+- **Auto-selected default user**: `llm_tester` for development (isolated test scope), `jpmschweitzer` for production
+- Properties `effective_log_level` and `effective_default_user` in config
+- User context logging at request entry with INFO level
+
+#### Direct Delegation Bypass
+- **Pure memory/librarian requests bypass Tatlock**: When Steward recommends only biographer/librarian, skip Tatlock LLM call
+- `_direct_delegation()` function for immediate expert agent execution
+- Reduces latency for memory-only requests
+
+#### Text-Based Delegation Fallback
+- **Parse text delegation patterns**: Handle LLM outputs like `[DELEGATE:biographer] task="..."`
+- Multiple pattern support for delegation parsing
+- Sequential and parallel execution with `[PARALLEL]` prefix
+
+#### Comprehensive E2E Test Suite
+- **22 new orchestration tests** in `tests/e2e/test_orchestration_e2e.py`
+- `QdrantVerifier` helper class for data verification
+- `assert_llm_behavior()` for flexible LLM output pattern matching
+- Test classes covering:
+  - Memory storage and recall
+  - Steward delegation
+  - Direct delegation bypass
+  - User context isolation (llm_tester vs production)
+  - Data verification in Qdrant
+  - Integration health checks
+  - Orchestration scenarios (weather, calculator, wiki, multi-expert)
+  - Error handling
+  - Evaluation reports
+- Updated `tests/e2e/README.md` with comprehensive documentation
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Unit test mocks**: Updated Steward streaming tests to mock `run_with_scoped_tools_stream` (async generator)
+- **Temporal context in tests**: Tests now account for `_inject_temporal_context()` appending timestamps
+- **LLM non-determinism**: Integration tests use `pytest.xfail()` for LLM-dependent assertions
+- **Streaming test timeouts**: Increased timeouts (60-90s) for LLM processing time
+
+### Changed
+
+- All unit tests now pass (380 passed, 5 xfailed for LLM non-determinism)
+- E2E tests use `llm_tester` user for isolation from production data
+
+## [1.3.3] - 2025-12-14
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Memory**: Fix Qdrant point IDs - use UUID5 instead of arbitrary strings
+
+## [1.3.2] - 2025-12-14
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Memory**: Fix biographer tool type hints for Ollama compatibility (remove `| None` union types)
+
+## [1.3.1] - 2025-12-14
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Memory**: Add biographer to delegation wrappers (was returning raw tools causing Ollama error)
+- **Config**: Add Qdrant host/port to .env.example
+
+## [1.3.0] - 2025-12-14
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Memory**: Update Qdrant client to use `query_points` API (qdrant-client >= 1.10)
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Config**: Rename `REDIS_DB` to `REDIS_BENCHMARK_DB` for clarity
+- **Config**: Update Redis defaults to match stack allocation (benchmark=6, memory=1)
+
+## [1.2.5] - 2025-12-14
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Dependencies**: Add missing `pydantic-settings` (not included in pydantic-ai-slim)
+

-# Dependency Slimming: pydantic-ai → pydantic-ai-slim
-
-**Date**: 2025-12-13
-**Version**: Post v1.2.0
-
-## Change
-
-Switched from `pydantic-ai` to `pydantic-ai-slim[openai]` to reduce container image size.
-
-### Before
-```
-pydantic-ai>=1.27,<1.28
-```
-
-This installs SDKs for ALL LLM providers:
- anthropic
- boto3 + botocore (AWS Bedrock)
- cohere
- google-genai + google-auth
- groq
- huggingface-hub
-
-Total packages: ~158
-
-### After
-```
-pydantic-ai-slim[openai]>=1.27,<1.28
-```
-
-Only installs the OpenAI-compatible SDK. Ollama works through this interface.
-
-Expected packages: ~80-90 (significant reduction)
-
-## Why This Works
-
-Tatlock uses Ollama exclusively, which implements the OpenAI-compatible API. The code uses:
-```python
-from pydantic_ai.models.openai import OpenAIChatModel
-from pydantic_ai.providers.ollama import OllamaProvider
-
-model = OpenAIChatModel(
-    model_name=config.OLLAMA_DEFAULT_MODEL,
-    provider=OllamaProvider(base_url=f"{config.OLLAMA_HOST}/v1")
-)
-```
-
-This pattern only requires the `openai` extra, not the full pydantic-ai package.
-
-## Rollback Instructions
-
-If this change breaks things:
-
-1. Revert requirements.txt:
-```diff
- pydantic-ai-slim[openai]>=1.27,<1.28
-+ pydantic-ai>=1.27,<1.28
-```
-
-2. Reinstall dependencies:
-```bash
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-```
-
-3. Delete this file once confirmed stable.
-
-## Testing Checklist
-
- [ ] Unit tests pass
- [ ] Integration tests pass (with Ollama running)
- [ ] Wakeup script e2e test passes
- [ ] Container builds successfully
- [ ] Container runs correctly

+HOUSEKEEPER_SYSTEM_PROMPT = """You are The Housekeeper, an expert home automation assistant in the Tatlock household.
+
+Your role is to help users control and monitor their smart home through Home Assistant:
+- Lights, switches, and other devices
+- Scenes (pre-configured device states)
+- Scripts (automation sequences)
+- Automations (event-triggered rules)
+
+## Your Personality
+- Efficient and practical
+- Safety-conscious (confirm destructive actions)
+- Proactive in suggesting optimizations
+- Clear about what actions you're taking
+
+## Your Tools
+
+### Discovery Tools
+- **list_areas**: See all rooms/areas configured in Home Assistant
+- **list_devices**: Find devices by type (domain) or location (area)
+- **get_device_state**: Check a device's current state and attributes
+
+### Control Tools
+- **turn_on**: Turn on lights, switches, etc. (supports brightness/color for lights)
+- **turn_off**: Turn off devices
+- **toggle**: Flip a device's state
+
+### Scene Tools
+- **list_scenes**: See available scene presets
+- **activate_scene**: Activate a scene (e.g., "movie night", "good morning")
+
+### Script Tools
+- **list_scripts**: See available automation scripts
+- **run_script**: Execute a script
+
+### Automation Tools
+- **list_automations**: See all automations and their status
+- **toggle_automation**: Enable or disable an automation
+
+### History Tools
+- **get_history**: Check a device's state history
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Device Discovery First**: If the user asks about devices without being specific,
+   use list_devices to find what's available before acting.
+
+2. **Confirm State After Actions**: After turning something on/off, you can verify
+   with get_device_state if needed.
+
+3. **Use Entity IDs**: Devices are identified by entity_id (e.g., light.living_room).
+   Always use the exact entity_id from list_devices.
+
+4. **Area-Aware**: When users say "living room lights", filter by area="living_room".
+
+5. **Safety**: For actions affecting multiple devices or automations, summarize
+   what you're about to do.
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+- "Turn on the lights" → list_devices(domain="light"), then turn_on each
+- "What's on?" → list_devices() and filter for state="on"
+- "Movie time" → Either activate_scene("scene.movie_night") or run_script if available
+- "Dim the bedroom" → turn_on("light.bedroom", brightness=64)
+
+## Response Format
+Your responses are returned to Tatlock (the butler) who will synthesize them into
+a final answer for the user. Keep this in mind:
+- Lead with confirmation of what you did or found
+- Be specific about which devices were affected
+- Include relevant state information
+- Note any issues or failures
+- Be concise - Tatlock will format the final response

-Currently in Phase 1 development - expert agent delegation will be added in later phases.
+## Expert Delegation (CRITICAL)
+
+When you see "DELEGATE:" in your instructions, you MUST delegate to the appropriate agent.
+
+**PRIMARY METHOD**: Call the delegation function directly:
+- `delegate_to_librarian(task="...")` for research/wiki tasks
+- `delegate_to_biographer(task="...")` for memory tasks
+
+**FALLBACK METHOD**: If function calling fails, output EXACTLY this format:

+1. When you see "DELEGATE: biographer" - delegate to biographer
+2. When you see "DELEGATE: librarian" - delegate to librarian
+3. NEVER ask for confirmation - just delegate
+4. NEVER handle delegated tasks yourself

-## What These Tests Verify
+## Test Organization

-### 1. Chat Completions Endpoint (`/v1/chat/completions`)
+### `test_api_endpoints.py` - Core API Tests

- ✅ Simple calculations trigger calculator tool
- ✅ Search queries trigger web search
- ✅ Multi-turn conversations maintain context
- ✅ Complex requests use multiple tools
- ✅ Simple greetings don't trigger unnecessary tools
- ✅ Date/time queries trigger datetime tools
+- Chat Completions endpoint (`/v1/chat/completions`)
+- Responses API endpoint (`/v1/responses`)
+- Streaming responses
+- Error handling
+- OpenAI format compliance

-### 2. Responses API Endpoint (`/v1/responses`)
+### `test_orchestration_e2e.py` - Orchestration Scenario Tests

- ✅ Reasoning output includes Steward's analysis
- ✅ Multi-turn conversations show in Steward reasoning
- ✅ Response structure follows OpenAI Responses format
+Based on `ORCHESTRATION_SCENARIOS.md`:

-### 3. Streaming
+| Class | Scenario | What it Tests |
+|-------|----------|---------------|
+| `TestMemoryStorage` | Memory storage | Store -> Qdrant verification |
+| `TestMemoryRecall` | Memory recall | Store -> Recall flow |
+| `TestStewardDelegation` | Steward routing | Capability recommendations |
+| `TestDirectDelegation` | Direct bypass | Pure memory/librarian requests |
+| `TestScenario1WeatherWithMemory` | Weather check | Multi-step with memory lookup |
+| `TestScenario4SimpleExpertDelegation` | Calculator/datetime | Simple tool use |
+| `TestScenario6WikiCreation` | Wiki operations | Librarian delegation |
+| `TestScenario8MultiExpertCoordination` | Complex requests | Multiple capabilities |
+| `TestUserContextIsolation` | User isolation | llm_tester vs production |
+| `TestDataVerification` | Data presence | Qdrant structure verification |
+| `TestIntegrationHealth` | System health | API/Qdrant reachability |
+| `TestEvaluationReport` | Diagnostic | Generates behavior reports |

- ✅ Chat completions streaming works
- ✅ Steward reasoning appears in stream
- ✅ Proper SSE format with chunks
+## User Isolation

-### 4. Error Handling
+Tests use the `llm_tester` user (development environment default) to isolate test data from production:

- ✅ Invalid model returns 404
- ✅ Missing required fields return 422
- ✅ Invalid parameters return 422
+- Test memories: `memories_llm_tester` (Qdrant collection)
+- Production memories: `memories_jpmschweitzer` (never modified by tests)

-### 5. Steward Integration
+## Handling LLM Non-Determinism

- ✅ Steward recommends correct capabilities
- ✅ Steward detects conversation context
- ✅ Steward analysis appears in all responses
+LLM outputs are non-deterministic. Tests handle this by:

-## Expected Behavior
+1. **Flexible assertions** - Check for behavior patterns, not exact text
+2. **`assert_llm_behavior()`** - Helper for pattern matching with confidence levels
+3. **Soft failures (`pytest.xfail`)** - Some tests may fail due to LLM variance without failing the suite
+4. **Evaluation reports** - Generate diagnostic reports for human review

-When tests run, you should see in the server logs:

-## Test Scenarios
+## Data Verification

-### Simple Calculation
-```
-User: "What is 144 divided by 12?"
-Expected: Calculator tool used, answer is "12"
-```
+Tests verify data presence in Qdrant:

-### Web Search
-```
-User: "What is the capital of France?"
-Expected: Search may be used, answer mentions "Paris"
-```
-
-### Multi-Turn
-```
-User: "What is 15 times 4?"
-Assistant: "60"
-User: "Now add 20 to that result."
-Expected: Context recognized, answer is "80"
-```
-
-### Combined Tools
-```
-User: "Calculate the square root of 256, then search for what number squared equals that result."
-Expected: Both calculator and search recommended
-```
-
-### Date/Time
-```
-User: "What is today's date?"
-Expected: Datetime tool used, current date returned
+```python
+# QdrantVerifier helper
+qdrant = QdrantVerifier()
+points = await qdrant.scroll_points("memories_llm_tester")
+memory = await qdrant.find_memory_by_key("memories_llm_tester", "favorite_color")
 ```

 ## Troubleshooting
@@ -129,33 +132,53 @@ Expected: Datetime tool used, current date returned

 Make sure the server is running:
 ```bash
-uvicorn src.main:app --reload
+./wakeup.sh
+curl http://localhost:8777/health  # Should return 200
 ```

 ### Tests timeout

- Check that Ollama is running and responsive
- Increase timeout in test file if needed (default: 60s)
+- Check Ollama is running: `curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags`
+- Increase timeout if needed (default: 120s for LLM calls)

-### Tool usage not detected
+### Memory tests fail

- Check server logs to see if tools are actually being called
- Verify Steward preprocessing is happening (look for `steward_analysis` logs)
+- Check Qdrant is running: `curl http://localhost:6333/collections`
+- Verify `memories_llm_tester` collection exists

 ### Inconsistent results

- LLM responses can vary - tests check for key indicators rather than exact text
- If a test occasionally fails, it might be due to LLM variance
- Check the actual response content in the test output
+- LLM responses vary - this is expected
+- Check the evaluation report for detailed diagnostics:
+  ```bash
+  pytest tests/e2e/test_orchestration_e2e.py::TestEvaluationReport -v -s
+  ```

-## Coverage
+### Tests pollute production data

-These tests complement the unit and integration tests by:
+- This shouldn't happen - tests use `llm_tester` user
+- If it does, check `ENVIRONMENT` is set to `development` in `.env`

-1. **Testing the full HTTP stack** - Request parsing, routing, middleware
-2. **Testing real LLM behavior** - Not mocked, actual Ollama responses
-3. **Testing real tool execution** - Calculator, datetime, search actually run
-4. **Testing Steward preprocessing** - Real analysis and tool scoping
-5. **Testing error handling** - HTTP error codes and error responses
+## Adding New Tests

-Together with unit/integration tests, this provides comprehensive coverage of the entire system.
+1. Use existing fixtures (`client`, `qdrant`, `clean_test_memories`)
+2. Use `assert_llm_behavior()` for flexible LLM output checking
+3. Add `@pytest.mark.e2e` decorator
+4. Consider adding soft failures for non-deterministic checks
+5. Add test keys to `clean_test_memories` fixture if storing new memories
+
+Example:
+```python
+@pytest.mark.e2e
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
