Session Management Implementation Summary¶

Overview¶

Successfully implemented a comprehensive session management system for FIML that enables persistent, context-aware multi-query analysis workflows.

Implementation Date¶

November 23, 2025

Components Delivered¶

1. Core Models (fiml/sessions/models.py)¶

✅ SessionType enum (equity, crypto, portfolio, comparative, macro) ✅ QueryRecord - Individual query tracking with parameters, results, timing ✅ AnalysisHistory - Complete query history with cache hit rate tracking ✅ SessionState - Context, preferences, intermediate results storage ✅ Session - Main session model with lifecycle management ✅ SessionSummary - Lightweight summary for listing operations

Key Features: - Automatic timestamp tracking - Expiration/TTL management - Context accumulation - Query history with statistics - Serialization support (to/from dict)

2. Database Schema (fiml/sessions/db.py)¶

✅ SessionRecord - SQLAlchemy model for PostgreSQL ✅ SessionMetrics - Analytics and metrics storage ✅ Indexes - Optimized for common query patterns ✅ CREATE_TABLES_SQL - Complete schema definition

Schema Highlights: - UUID primary keys - JSONB for flexible data storage - Comprehensive indexing (user_id, type, timestamps, archived status) - Retention policy support

3. Session Store (fiml/sessions/store.py)¶

✅ SessionStore class with dual backend: - Redis for active sessions (fast, TTL-based) - PostgreSQL for archived sessions (persistent, queryable)

Methods Implemented: - create_session() - Create new session - get_session() - Retrieve from Redis or PostgreSQL - update_session() - Update session state - delete_session() - Remove session - list_user_sessions() - List sessions with filtering - extend_session() - Extend TTL - archive_session() - Move Redis → PostgreSQL - cleanup_expired_sessions() - Batch cleanup

Architecture: - Singleton pattern with get_session_store() - Automatic initialization - Graceful fallback (Redis → PostgreSQL) - Connection pooling

4. Configuration (fiml/core/config.py)¶

✅ Added session settings:

session_default_ttl_hours: int = 24
session_max_ttl_hours: int = 168
session_cleanup_interval_minutes: int = 60
session_retention_days: int = 30
session_max_queries_per_session: int = 1000
session_enable_analytics: bool = True

5. Session Analytics (fiml/sessions/analytics.py)¶

✅ SessionAnalytics class

Methods: - record_session_metrics() - Record completed session metrics - get_session_stats() - Aggregated statistics - get_user_session_summary() - User-specific summary - export_session_metrics() - Export in various formats

Metrics Tracked: - Total sessions, queries - Average duration, queries per session - Abandonment rate - Top analyzed assets - Query type distribution - Cache hit rates

6. Background Tasks (fiml/sessions/tasks.py)¶

✅ Celery Tasks:

cleanup_expired_sessions (Hourly) - Archives expired sessions - Removes from Redis - Returns cleanup statistics

delete_old_archived_sessions (Daily) - Deletes sessions older than retention period - Frees database storage

generate_session_metrics (Daily) - Processes recent sessions - Generates aggregated analytics

CELERY_BEAT_SCHEDULE - Task scheduling configuration

7. MCP Tool Integration¶

New Tools (fiml/mcp/tools.py, fiml/mcp/router.py)¶

✅ create-analysis-session - Create new session - Configure assets, type, TTL, tags - Returns session_id

✅ get-session-info - Retrieve session details - Show query history, stats

✅ list-sessions - List user sessions - Filter by archived status - Pagination support

✅ extend-session - Extend session TTL - Update expiration

✅ get-session-analytics - Get usage statistics - Filter by user, type, time range

Enhanced Existing Tools¶

✅ search-by-symbol - Added session_id parameter ✅ search-by-coin - Added session_id parameter ✅ track_query_in_session() - Helper function for automatic tracking

Integration Features: - Automatic query tracking when session_id provided - Context accumulation - Cache hit tracking - Execution time recording - Result summaries

8. Testing (tests/test_sessions.py)¶

✅ TestSessionModels - Model unit tests - Query record creation - Analysis history tracking - Session state management - Expiration logic - Serialization

✅ TestSessionStore - Store operations - CRUD operations - Session retrieval - Archival - Cleanup - User session listing

✅ TestSessionIntegration - Full lifecycle test - Multi-query workflow - Context accumulation - Session extension - Analytics generation - Demonstrates real-world usage

Test Coverage: - 30+ test cases - Unit, integration, and E2E tests - Async test support - Fixtures for setup/teardown

9. Examples & Documentation¶

✅ examples/session_demo.py - Complete workflow demonstration - MCP tool integration examples - Analytics usage - Console output with formatting

✅ docs/SESSION_MANAGEMENT.md - Architecture overview - Component documentation - API reference - Usage examples - Configuration guide - Database schema - Performance characteristics

✅ scripts/setup_session_db.py - Database migration script - Table creation - Verification - Drop capability (with safety)

10. Module Organization¶

✅ fiml/sessions/init.py - Clean public API exports - Easy imports

File Structure:

fiml/sessions/

├── models.py            # Data models
├── store.py             # Storage layer

session.add_query(query)

# Store context
session.state.update_context("preference", "detailed")

# Save
