¶
PredictionLedgerMixin — Outcome tracking with auto-resolution.
Provides a mixin for recording predictions before acting and resolving them against actual outcomes. High prediction errors feed back into ConfidenceField to reduce trust in bad knowledge. Auto-resolution via ObservationProtocol handles the common case where outcomes are inferred from behavior.
Redis Key Patterns
- $PL:{ClassName}:meta:{pk} — hash storing prediction metadata (msgpack)
- $PL:{ClassName}:errors:{partition} — sorted set of PKs scored by |error|
Example
from popoto import Model, UniqueKeyField, StringField from popoto.fields.prediction_ledger import PredictionLedgerMixin from popoto.fields.confidence_field import ConfidenceField
class Memory(PredictionLedgerMixin, Model): key = UniqueKeyField() content = StringField() certainty = ConfidenceField()
_pl_partition = "default"
memory = Memory.create(key="fact1", content="sky is blue") PredictionLedgerMixin.record_prediction(memory, predicted={"relevance": 0.9}) PredictionLedgerMixin.resolve_prediction(memory, actual={"relevance": 0.3})
PredictionLedgerMixin
¶
Mixin that adds prediction recording, resolution, and error tracking.
Add as a base class alongside Model
class MyModel(PredictionLedgerMixin, Model): _pl_partition = "default"
Class Attributes (resolution order):
_pl_partition: Partition key for error sorted set. Default "default".
Plain class attribute on the mixin; subclasses override by assigning
a different value.
_pl_confidence_error_threshold, _pl_confidence_low_signal,
_pl_auto_resolve_errors:
- Subclasses may override by assigning a plain class attribute
(subclass-dict-first lookup shadows the parent property).
- Otherwise the mixin reads from Defaults.* at attribute-access
time so runtime overrides via apply_overrides are observed.
Note: Attributes prefixed with underscore to avoid conflict with Popoto's ModelBase metaclass, which requires public attributes to be Fields.

¶
Query instances with the highest prediction errors.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |

The Model class to query. |

Max results to return. Default 10. |
10

Returns:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
list |
List of (member_key_str, error_float) tuples, ordered by descending error. |

error_summary(model_class, partition='default', group_by=None, limit=100)
classmethod
¶
Aggregate prediction errors across instances with optional grouping.
Reads up to limit members from the error sorted set (top-|error|)
plus their per-instance meta via a pipelined batch of HGET calls
against $PL:{ClassName}:meta:{pk} hashes. The per-instance
meta dict stores prediction_error and resolved_at.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
model_class
|
The Model class (same contract as
|
required | |
partition
|
Partition key. Default |
'default'
|
|
group_by
|
One of:
|
None
|
|
limit
|
Max members to sample. Default 100. Pass a larger
number for broader coverage; |
100
|
Returns:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
dict |
|
|
|
keys |
||

Notes
- Corrupt msgpack entries are logged at warning and skipped.
- When the error set is empty, returns
{"__all__": {...}}withcount=0(no raise on empty inputs). - Not a cross-instance snapshot: pipelined HGETs are NOT transactional, so a resolution landing mid-batch may be observed for some instances and not others.
