WalkthroughThe PR adds a knowledge capability that exposes tool-mode sources through a search tool, searches sources concurrently, tags and ranks matches, and supports optional cross-encoder reranking. It also adds helpers to inspect and update the latest user prompt in model history. ChangesKnowledge search and tool integration

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.Correct the docstrings. They contradict the implementation.
The module docstring says there is "no blending with original similarity scores". It also references a
CrossEncoderRegistrythat lazily loads models. The code does neither:modelis passed in, and scores are blended 30% cross-encoder and 70% original (Lines 88-97).The
rerankdocstring saysscoreis "replaced with its cross-encoder score" and that results are sorted by cross-encoder score. The result is actually the combined normalized score. The "Returned unchanged ... if loading the model" wording also refers to loading that does not happen here.Update the docstrings to describe the blended-score behavior. Correct the stale
lightspeed.core.agent.knowledge...references.Also applies to: 31-38

Fix the reranker docstring. It describes a different type.
The field is typed Optional[CrossEncoder], an instantiated model. The docstring calls it a "model id" and says it is "Loaded lazily on first use". Neither is true here, because the caller must supply a loaded CrossEncoder. The module docstring (Lines 3, 10) also references lightspeed.core.agent.knowledge... paths that do not match the knowledge.* imports.
Update the docstrings to match the actual contract.

Move model.predict off the event loop.
rerank is async, but model.predict(...) is synchronous CPU-bound cross-encoder inference. It runs directly on the event loop. Each search_knowledge call with a reranker blocks every other request on the loop for the length of inference. That time grows with the number of matches.
Run the call in a worker thread.

Make the optional reranker dependency type-only.
sentence-transformers is declared in the ogxlibdev dependency group, not in the main project dependencies. If that group is not installed, the unconditional imports can prevent non-reranked knowledge searches from loading.
CrossEncoder is used only in annotations in all four knowledge modules. Move these imports under TYPE_CHECKING. Add postponed annotations to src/knowledge/search.py.

Fix stale references in the docstrings.
The docstrings name extract_prompt_text and replace_latest_message. Neither function exists in this module. The reader cannot find the "shared contract" the text describes. Use the real name extract_latest_message_text. Remove the replace_latest_message references, or add that function in this PR.
📝 Proposed docstring fix
- Shared by `extract_prompt_text` (reads it) and `replace_latest_message`
- (rewrites it) so both agree on what "the current user prompt" means, and
- reusable for any other part type a future capability needs to locate the
- same way (e.g. the last `ToolReturnPart`).
+ Used by `extract_latest_message_text` to define "the current user
+ prompt". Reusable for any other part type a capability needs to locate
+ the same way (e.g. the last `ToolReturnPart`).- Takes the same `content` type as `replace_latest_message` -- the two
- are meant to be used identically, one adding a part and the other
- rewriting the latest one. `ModelRequest` isn't frozen, so this just
- reassigns its `parts` field -- no need to rebuild the message or write
- back into `messages`.

Extract structured prompt content as text.
extract_latest_message_text advertises text extraction, but str(part.content) returns the representation of a structured sequence. This produces object syntax instead of prompt text. No production caller currently connects this helper to the Knowledge search query, so the search-retrieval impact is not established.
Use the repository's existing TextContent extraction behavior and update the test to expect "rich".

Use the Parameters: docstring header instead of Args:.
The project convention is the Parameters: section header for function arguments. These helper docstrings use Args:. The same Args: usage appears in src/knowledge/reranker.py, src/knowledge/toolset.py and the other new test helpers.
Based on learnings: in lightspeed-stack, docstrings must use the section header "Parameters:" (not "Args:").

This test locks in the repr behavior.
The test asserts str(content). This makes the repr-style query text in extract_latest_message_text a required behavior. If you change the helper to extract text, assert the extracted text here. Add a case with a non-text item, such as an image, to confirm it is skipped.

Add `KnowledgeToolset`, a pydantic-ai `FunctionToolset` that registers a single `search_knowledge` tool over all `'tool'`-mode knowledge sources. `Knowledge.get_toolset()` returns the toolset when at least one source supports tool mode, forwarding the optional reranker. Includes unit tests for toolset construction, source filtering, id/description generation, schema, and search delegation.
