+# Repository Guidelines
+
+## Architecture Overview
+Agent Lightning runs through a continuous loop: runners and tracers emit spans, `LightningStore` (`agentlightning/store/`) keeps them synchronized, and algorithms in `agentlightning/algorithm/` consume those traces to improve behavior.
+
+## Project Structure & Module Organization
+- `agentlightning/`: adapters, execution stack, training loop, tracer, reward logic, and the `agl` CLI.
+- `docs/` & `examples/`: narrative and procedural docs (assets in `docs/assets/`, navigation in `mkdocs.yml`) plus runnable workflows whose READMEs point to their companion how-to guides. `docs/how-to` covers task-focused instructions, while `docs/tutorials` explains concepts and subsystems.
+- `dashboard/`, `scripts/`, `tests/`: UI bundles, release/dataset/CI automation, and mirrored coverage of the runtime tree. Record download steps rather than committing binaries.
+
+## Build, Test, and Development Commands
+- `uv sync --group dev` — provision tooling once per environment.
+- `uv run --no-sync pytest -v` — execute the full suite; add a path or `-k expr` to narrow the run.
+- `uv run --no-sync pyright` — enforce static typing parity with CI.
+- `uv run --no-sync pre-commit run --all-files --show-diff-on-failure` and `uv run --no-sync mkdocs build --strict` — keep formatting tidy and documentation valid.
+Always commit the refreshed `uv.lock` when dependencies shift, and mention optional groups (VERL, APO, GPU) in PR notes.
+
+## Common Issues & Fixes
+- When `uv run` errors with `Permission denied` under `~/.cache`, override both cache locations inline: ``UV_CACHE="$(pwd)/.cache_uv" XDG_CACHE_HOME="$(pwd)/.cache_xdg" uv run --no-sync <command>``.
+
+## Coding Style & Naming Conventions
+- Target `requires-python >= 3.10`, four-space indentation, 120-character lines (though docstrings may run longer), and formatter-owned diffs (Black + isort, `black` profile). Use `snake_case` for modules, functions, and variables; `PascalCase` for classes and React components; lowercase hyphenation for CLI flags, branch names, and TypeScript filenames.
+- Maintain exhaustive type hints (pyright enforces them) and prefer shared dataclasses or Pydantic models from `agentlightning.types`.
+- Author Google-style docstrings for new modules or public methods—succinct descriptions, no redundant type info, no redundant `Key features/components` bullet points. Use mkdocs styles: `[][]` syntax for cross-references and single backticks for inline code blocks.
+- Writing logs is encouraged, especially for long functions with multiple steps and try-except blocks that catch all exceptions. Use `logging.getLogger(__name__)` to get loggers. Distinguish between DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, and ERROR logs.
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+- Mirror runtime directories under `tests/` and match filenames for quick traceability.
+- Parametrize pytest cases and apply markers (`openai`, `gpu`, `agentops`, `mongo`, `llmproxy`) so optional suites can be skipped via selectors like `-m "not mongo"` yet still exercised in CI.
+- Lean on fixtures, favor real stores/spans/agents over mocks, and drive coverage across the majority of branches.
+- If an imported module is missing from the environment, check whether `uv sync` has been run with the right groups. Do not make stubs for external dependencies unless necessary.
+
+## Example Contributions
+- Ship each example with a README that includes smoke-test instructions so maintainers can validate quickly. The README must contain an "Included Files" section summarizing every file and its role.
+- Keep runnable example modules self-contained with a module-level docstring describing CLI usage. Document important or educational classes/functions with targeted docstrings and inline comments where clarity matters.
+- Add a CI workflow per example named `examples-<name>.yml` in `.github/workflows/`. Register it in `badge-<name>.yml`, `badge-examples.yml`, and `badge-latest.yml` when applicable so badges stay accurate.
+
+## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
+- Branch from a fresh `main` using `feature/<slug>`, `fix/<slug>`, `docs/<slug>`, or `chore/<slug>`.
+- Write imperative, scoped commits, reference issues with `Fixes #123`, and rerun pre-commit plus the relevant pytest/doc builds before pushing.
+- Use PR descriptions to summarize intent, list verification commands, call out dependency or docs-navigation updates, and link new docs/examples via `mkdocs.yml` or `examples/README.md`. Include logs for dashboard changes.

+# Contrib Area
+
+This tree hosts experimental integrations, third-party recipes, and curated recipes that are not ready for the main `agentlightning/`, `examples/`, or `docs/` trees. Treat it as an incubator: keep contributions self-contained, clearly owned, and reproducible so downstream users can vendor them without guesswork.
+
+## When to add something here
+
+- You are iterating on a runtime extension that would bloat the primary `agentlightning/` namespace.
+- You want to share a recipe that assembles existing components for a focused agent training or optimization workflow and needs more context than the main examples directory allows.
+- You need automation scripts or download helpers that will help the community but should not live under `scripts/` at the repo root.
+
+If a contribution starts depending on core release cadence, tight CI guarantees, or repo-wide infrastructure, talk to maintainers about graduating it out of `contrib/`.
+
+## Directory map
+
+- `agentlightning/` — Namespace packages, utilities, and adapters that extend the published wheel. Place new code under `agentlightning/contrib/<feature>/` so `import agentlightning.contrib.<feature>` works for downstream users.
+- `recipes/` — Task-focused example bundles that solve a specific problem and derive certain results. Each recipe belongs in its own directory with a README that documents usage, result reports, and ownership.
+- `scripts/` — Shared automation, dataset download steps, or reproducibility helpers that support the contrib modules above.
+
+When adding folders, document the intent in a local README, link to companion docs or examples, and update `CODEOWNERS` so future fixes reach the right reviewers quickly.
+
+Questions or proposals for new subtrees can be discussed in Discord, GitHub issues, or GitHub Discussions before opening a PR. For the canonical requirements and review checklist, see the “Agent-lightning Contrib” section of [`docs/community/contributing.md`](../docs/community/contributing.md).

-Evaluation scripts and benchmark results will be released soon.
+We evaluated Search-R1 across seven diverse question-answering benchmarks, covering both General QA (NQ, TriviaQA, PopQA) and complex multi-hop reasoning tasks (HotpotQA, 2WikiMultiHopQA, Musique, and Bamboogle).
+
+The following tables compare the performance of the original Search-R1 implementation and the Agent-Lightning version across various base models.

 Have a project that builds on Agent-lightning but does not belong in the main repo? Fork it or depend on it externally, then let us know. We can showcase notable projects in [Community Projects](../index.md) and the main [README]({{ src("README.md") }}).
 
+### Agent-lightning Contrib
+
+[`contrib/`]({{ src("contrib") }}) is where work-in-progress or third-party integrations, and curated recipes live before they are hardened enough for the core runtime tree. Think of it as an incubator: additions should remain easy to consume, clearly owned, and scoped so downstream users can vendor them with minimal risk.
+
+The following types of contributions are welcome in the contrib area:
+
+- **Recipes** that assemble multiple Agent Lightning components for a narrow task (`contrib/recipes/<topic>/`). Each recipe must be self-contained, include running instructions and result reports.
+- **Runtime extensions** that would bloat the primary `agentlightning/` namespace (`contrib/agentlightning/contrib/<feature>/`). These should mirror the published wheel layout so that `import agentlightning.contrib.<feature>` works out of the box.
+- **Supporting scripts and assets** (`contrib/scripts/`) that automate dataset downloads, environment preparation, or benchmarks required by contrib modules.
+
+If you are unsure where a contribution should live, start a thread in Discord or open an issue before writing code. The [contrib README]({{ src("contrib/README.md") }}) also lists the directory expectations.
+
+A quick checklist for contributions to be accepted:
+
+1. **Document everything.** Include configuration steps, environment variables, and sample commands so contributors can reproduce the results without guesswork. Pin to a specific version of Agent-lightning and other dependencies to avoid unexpected changes if you don't want to update the recipe frequently.
+2. **Keep quality predictable.** Match the repo’s style guide, apply exhaustive type hints, and run `uv run --no-sync pyright` plus targeted `pytest` suites for any Python module you touch.
+3. **Ship reproducibility artifacts.** Store only scripts or instructions for downloading datasets, weights, or binaries. Never upload large artifacts or credentials directly.
+4. **Update ownership.** Add `CODEOWNERS` entries when new directories appear so maintainers know who can review follow-up fixes.
+
+Contrib entries do not need the same maturity level as core code, but they must still meet the baseline above. Submissions that lack documentation, hide ownership, or depend on untracked assets are typically rejected until those gaps are resolved.
+

+- Target `requires-python >= 3.10`, four-space indentation, ~120-character lines (docstrings may run longer), and formatter-owned diffs (Black + isort with the `black` profile).
+- Use `snake_case` for modules, functions, and variables; `PascalCase` for classes and React components; lowercase hyphenation for CLI flags, branch names, and TypeScript filenames.
+- Maintain exhaustive type hints (pyright enforces them), write succinct Google-style docstrings (with `[][]` cross-references).
+- Prefer dataclasses or Pydantic models from `agentlightning.types`.
+- Log via `logging.getLogger(__name__)` with targeted DEBUG/INFO/WARNING/ERROR calls—especially for long multi-step functions or broad `try/except` blocks.

Agent-lightning helps parsing `ExportTraceServiceRequest` messages, validate identifiers, normalize resource metadata, and allocate sequence numbers so store implementations only need to persist [`Span`][agentlightning.Span] objects in order.
 
 Because the interface speaks standard OTLP, any OpenTelemetry-compatible SDK or collector can emit spans directly to a LightningStore OTLP endpoint without custom shims. The server responds according to the OTLP contract (status code, encoding, and error payloads), which keeps Agent-lightning interoperable with existing observability tooling. This compatibility serves as a strong complement to the OpenTelemetry conversion discussed above.
 
-## Store Implementations
+Check whether the store supports OTLP traces via the [`capabilities["otlp_traces"]`][agentlightning.LightningStore.capabilities] property.
 
-Currently, the only out-of-the-box implementation is [`InMemoryLightningStore`][agentlightning.InMemoryLightningStore]:
+## Implementation Overview
 
-- Fast startup, zero external dependencies, and ideal for local development, CI, and unit tests.
-- Fully asyncio-safe for writes; most reader operations can iterate without locks, except those that need to perform multiple queries.
-- Includes a best-effort span eviction policy once memory crosses a configured watermark; querying evicted spans raises a clear error so callers can fall back.
+The `agentlightning.store` module is organized into two distinct layers plus optional wrappers:
 
-For production you will likely want persistence. We’re actively building a SQLite-backed store that keeps the same API surface while adding durability, crash recovery, and better historical span queries. If you need something sooner, implement your own store by subclassing [`LightningStore`][agentlightning.LightningStore] and providing concrete storage for the small set of abstract methods (`enqueue_rollout`, `dequeue_rollout`, `update_attempt`, `add_span`, etc.). This document plus the tests in `tests/store/` illustrate the expected behavior.

+1. **Collections Layer** – Low-level storage primitives ([`LightningCollections`][agentlightning.store.collection.LightningCollections]) providing CRUD operations via [`Collection`][agentlightning.store.collection.Collection], [`Queue`][agentlightning.store.collection.Queue], and [`KeyValue`][agentlightning.store.collection.KeyValue] interfaces. Each backend (in-memory, MongoDB) implements these primitives.
+
+2. **Store Layer** – All [`LightningStore`][agentlightning.LightningStore] implementations must inherit from [`LightningStore`][agentlightning.LightningStore] and override the methods to implement the storage logic. [`CollectionBasedLightningStore`][agentlightning.CollectionBasedLightningStore] builds on collections to implement the full [`LightningStore`][agentlightning.LightningStore] API, including business logic like status transitions, watchdog health checks, and retry policies.
+
+3. **Wrappers** – Cross-cutting concerns live in thin wrappers:
+    - [`LightningStoreThreaded`][agentlightning.LightningStoreThreaded] adds mutex-based thread safety.
+    - [`LightningStoreServer`][agentlightning.LightningStoreServer] / [`LightningStoreClient`][agentlightning.LightningStoreClient] enable multi-process access over HTTP.
+
+## Collections
+
+The collections layer provides storage primitives that [`CollectionBasedLightningStore`][agentlightning.CollectionBasedLightningStore] builds upon. This separation keeps business logic (status transitions, watchdog, retries) in the store layer while allowing different backends to focus purely on persistence.
+
+The off-the-shelf implementations are [`InMemoryLightningCollections`][agentlightning.store.collection.InMemoryLightningCollections] and [`MongoLightningCollections`][agentlightning.store.collection.mongo.MongoLightningCollections], which are the underlying collections for [`InMemoryLightningStore`][agentlightning.InMemoryLightningStore] and [`MongoLightningStore`][agentlightning.store.mongo.MongoLightningStore], respectively.
+
+### Collection Primitives
+
+[`LightningCollections`][agentlightning.store.collection.LightningCollections] bundles three primitive types:
+
+| Primitive | Purpose | Methods |
+|-----------|---------|---------|
+| [`Collection[T]`][agentlightning.store.collection.Collection] | Indexed storage with primary keys | [`query()`][agentlightning.store.collection.Collection.query], [`get()`][agentlightning.store.collection.Collection.get], [`insert()`][agentlightning.store.collection.Collection.insert], [`update()`][agentlightning.store.collection.Collection.update], [`upsert()`][agentlightning.store.collection.Collection.upsert], [`delete()`][agentlightning.store.collection.Collection.delete] |
+| [`Queue[T]`][agentlightning.store.collection.Queue] | FIFO queue for task scheduling | [`enqueue()`][agentlightning.store.collection.Queue.enqueue], [`dequeue()`][agentlightning.store.collection.Queue.dequeue], [`peek()`][agentlightning.store.collection.Queue.peek], [`size()`][agentlightning.store.collection.Queue.size] |
+| [`KeyValue[K, V]`][agentlightning.store.collection.KeyValue] | Simple key-value store | [`get()`][agentlightning.store.collection.KeyValue.get], [`set()`][agentlightning.store.collection.KeyValue.set], [`inc()`][agentlightning.store.collection.KeyValue.inc], [`chmax()`][agentlightning.store.collection.KeyValue.chmax], [`pop()`][agentlightning.store.collection.KeyValue.pop] |
+
+Every [`LightningCollections`][agentlightning.store.collection.LightningCollections] instance exposes these named collections:
+
+- `rollouts` – [`Collection[Rollout]`][agentlightning.store.collection.Collection] keyed by `rollout_id`
+- `attempts` – [`Collection[Attempt]`][agentlightning.store.collection.Collection] keyed by `(rollout_id, attempt_id)`
+- `spans` – [`Collection[Span]`][agentlightning.store.collection.Collection] keyed by `(rollout_id, attempt_id, span_id)`
+- `resources` – [`Collection[ResourcesUpdate]`][agentlightning.store.collection.Collection] keyed by `resources_id`
+- `workers` – [`Collection[Worker]`][agentlightning.store.collection.Collection] keyed by `worker_id`
+- `rollout_queue` – [`Queue[str]`][agentlightning.store.collection.Queue] holding rollout IDs awaiting execution
+- `span_sequence_ids` – [`KeyValue[str, int]`][agentlightning.store.collection.KeyValue] tracking monotonic sequence counters
+
+### Atomic Operations
+
+Collections support atomic operations through the [`atomic()`][agentlightning.store.collection.LightningCollections.atomic] context manager:
+
+```python
+async with collections.atomic(mode="rw", labels=["rollouts", "attempts"]) as ctx:
+    rollout = await ctx.rollouts.get(filter={"rollout_id": {"exact": rollout_id}})
+    # modify and update within the same transaction
+    await ctx.rollouts.update([updated_rollout])
+```
+
+The arguments passed to [`atomic()`][agentlightning.store.collection.LightningCollections.atomic] are quite arbitrary and flexible. Different implementations may have different interpretations of the arguments. For example, to [`InMemoryLightningCollections`][agentlightning.store.collection.InMemoryLightningCollections], the `mode` parameter controls locking behavior (`"r"` for read-only, `"rw"` for read-write), while `labels` specifies which collections to lock. Acquiring locks in sorted order prevents deadlocks when multiple operations run concurrently.
+
+### Implementing a Custom Backend
+
+To add a new storage backend, implement [`LightningCollections`][agentlightning.store.collection.LightningCollections]:
+
+```python
+from agentlightning.store.collection import LightningCollections, Collection, Queue, KeyValue
+
+class MyLightningCollections(LightningCollections):
+    @property
+    def rollouts(self) -> Collection[Rollout]:
+        return self._rollouts  # your implementation
+
+    @property
+    def rollout_queue(self) -> Queue[str]:
+        return self._queue  # your implementation
+
+    # ... implement remaining properties
+
+    async def atomic(self, *, mode, snapshot=False, labels=None, **kwargs):
+        # provide transaction / locking semantics
+        ...
+```
+
+Then instantiate your store:
+
+```python
+from agentlightning.store.collection_based import CollectionBasedLightningStore
+
+store = CollectionBasedLightningStore(collections=MyLightningCollections())
+```
+
+The store layer handles all business logic; your collections just need to provide correct CRUD semantics.
+
+## Collection-based Store Implementations
+
+Agent-lightning ships with two collection-based store implementations:
+
+### InMemoryLightningStore
+
+[`InMemoryLightningStore`][agentlightning.InMemoryLightningStore] uses [`InMemoryLightningCollections`][agentlightning.store.collection.InMemoryLightningCollections] backed by Python data structures. It supports **fast startup** with zero external dependencies—ideal for local development, CI, and unit tests. It also provides two lock modes, configurable between `"asyncio"` (single-thread, multiple coroutines) and `"thread"` (multi-threaded via [aiologic](https://github.com/x42005e1f/aiologic)).
+[`InMemoryLightningCollections`][agentlightning.store.collection.InMemoryLightningCollections] use nested dictionaries for O(1) primary-key lookup and `deque` for the task queue.
+
+### MongoLightningStore
+
+[`MongoLightningStore`][agentlightning.store.mongo.MongoLightningStore] uses [`MongoLightningCollections`][agentlightning.store.collection.mongo.MongoLightningCollections] backed by MongoDB. It supports **persistent storage** suitable for production deployments and **multi-process safe** via database-level atomicity. It also supports **partition support** via `partition_id` for running multiple trainers against the same database.
+
+```python
+from agentlightning.store.mongo import MongoLightningStore
+
+store = MongoLightningStore(
+    mongo_uri="mongodb://localhost:27017/?replicaSet=rs0",
+    database_name="agentlightning",
+    partition_id="trainer-1",  # optional: isolate data per trainer
+)
+```
+
+!!! note
+
+    [`MongoLightningStore`][agentlightning.store.mongo.MongoLightningStore] requires the `mongo` optional dependency. Install with `pip install agentlightning[mongo]`.
+
+### Capabilities
+
+[](){ #store-capabilities }
+
+Different stores have different capabilities. Check the [`capabilities`][agentlightning.LightningStore.capabilities] property to understand what a store supports:
+
+| Capability | Description | InMemory | Mongo | Server | Client |
+|------------|-------------|----------|-------|--------|--------|
+| `thread_safe` | Safe for concurrent access from multiple threads | configurable | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
+| `async_safe` | Safe for concurrent access from multiple coroutines | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
+| `zero_copy` | Can be shared across processes without serialization | ✗ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
+| `otlp_traces` | Exposes an OTLP-compatible `/v1/traces` endpoint | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | ✓ |
 
 ## Thread Safety
 
-**[`LightningStoreThreaded`][agentlightning.LightningStoreThreaded]** is a subclass of [`LightningStore`][agentlightning.LightningStore] that wraps another underlying store to make a store instance safe for multi-threaded callers. It wraps every state-mutating call in a mutex. Specifically:
+Thread safety can be achieved at different layers:
+
+**At the collections layer**: [`InMemoryLightningCollections`][agentlightning.store.collection.InMemoryLightningCollections] accepts a `lock_type` parameter:
+
+- `"asyncio"` – Uses per-event-loop `asyncio.Lock` for single-threaded, multi-coroutine scenarios.
+- `"thread"` – Uses `aiologic.Lock` for true multi-threaded access.
+
+**At the store layer**: [`LightningStoreThreaded`][agentlightning.LightningStoreThreaded] wraps any [`LightningStore`][agentlightning.LightningStore] to add mutex-based thread safety:
 
 * Methods like [`start_rollout`][agentlightning.LightningStore.start_rollout], [`enqueue_rollout`][agentlightning.LightningStore.enqueue_rollout], [`update_attempt`][agentlightning.LightningStore.update_attempt], [`add_span`][agentlightning.LightningStore.add_span], etc. are guarded by a lock.
-* Non-mutating, potentially blocking calls remain pass-through by design (e.g., [`wait_for_rollouts`][agentlightning.LightningStore.wait_for_rollouts]), as they don’t modify shared state and should not hold the lock for long periods.

+    After launching the store via CLI, you can tell the [`Trainer`][agentlightning.Trainer] to use the store by passing the store address to the trainer.
+
+    ```python
+    store_client = agl.LightningStoreClient("http://localhost:4747")
+    trainer = agl.Trainer(store=store_client, ...)
+    ```
+
+    See [using external store][debug-with-external-store] for more details.
+
+## agl prometheus
+
+Expose the Prometheus multiprocess registry on a dedicated FastAPI server. This is useful when the main LightningStore service is under heavy load; exporters can scrape this auxiliary endpoint instead.
