Summary

  • replace the TinyAgents runtime dependency with provider-neutral TinyInference APIs
  • pin TinyInference to current main (cc8aca4) and remove the TinyAgents submodule
  • rewrite the persona decision example as deterministic retrieval plus one direct inference call
  • relicense TinyCortex and its API crate under GPL-3.0-only
  • update the audit, contributor, and user-facing license documentation

API Or Behavior Changes

  • EmbeddingModel integrations now use tinyinference::embeddings::EmbeddingModel instead of the historical TinyAgents path.
  • The project license changes from MIT to GPL-3.0-only.
  • The persona example no longer instantiates an agent/tool runtime.

Tests

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
  • cargo build --all-targets --all-features
  • ulimit -n 8192; cargo test --all-features (1,565 unit tests plus integration tests and doctests passed; one credentialed live test remained ignored)

Documentation

Updated README license badge, contributor docs, FAQ, persona demo plan, and audit resolution notes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project replaces TinyAgents references with pinned TinyInference APIs, removes the vendored submodule, updates GPL-3.0-only licensing references, revises persona and audit documentation, and consolidates card-number prefix checks.

Changes

TinyInference migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dependency and embedding wiring
.gitmodules, Cargo.toml, src/memory/...
Cargo configuration removes TinyAgents and adds pinned TinyInference. Embedding adapters use TinyInference APIs.
Persona documentation and metadata
examples/persona_agent.rs, docs/plan/06-persona-agent-demo.md
Persona documentation describes the direct TinyInference flow and documents PERSONA_IDENTITY.
Migration audit documentation
docs/spec/...
Specifications and audit notes record the TinyInference migration and updated inference bridge.

GPL licensing update

Layer / File(s) Summary
License and package metadata
LICENSE, Cargo.toml, api/Cargo.toml, benchmarks/effectiveness/Cargo.toml
The repository and packages now declare GPL-3.0-only licensing.
License documentation
CONTRIBUTING.md, gitbooks/contributing.md, README.md, gitbooks/faq.md
Contribution guidance, the README badge, and the FAQ now describe GPLv3 licensing.

PII check consolidation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Card-number prefix check
src/memory/store/safety/pii/checks.rs
The Mastercard and Mir prefix conditions are combined without changing validation behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3f56a

The dependency, example, license, and documentation updates are merge-ready after normal checks and review; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

model.invoke flow described for persona_agent: remove or revise the stale
“decision agent” title and replace the outdated model/tool call counts, or
clearly label those measurements as historical.

**Resolved:** TinyCortex now depends on the provider-neutral `tinyinference`
crate and no longer carries the TinyAgents runtime or submodule. The original
finding below is retained as audit history.

P2 Badge Do not mark the git-dependency finding resolved

The dependency was renamed, but the condition described by SW-1 still exists: Cargo.toml now points tinyinference at an unpublished Git revision rather than a vendored or registry package. Fresh/offline builds still require access to that repository, and this dependency would still prevent future crates.io packaging, so marking the entire finding resolved hides the remaining supply-chain and publishing work; describe it as only partially resolved until TinyInference is published or vendored.
