└─ Initialize messages list
Message Logging
User: "What is Python?"
│
▼
SessionTracker.log_message("user", "What is Python?")
│
└─ Append to session.messages[]
ATLES: "Python is a programming language..."
│
▼
SessionTracker.log_message("assistant", "Python is...")
│
└─ Append to session.messages[]
Session Completion
User Closes Chat

Performance Characteristics
Resource Usage
| Component | CPU | Memory | Disk I/O |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daemon Idle | <1% | 50 MB | None |
| Session Monitor | 1-2% | +10 MB | Read only |
| Processing Loop | 20-30% | +50 MB | Write intensive |
| Memory Processing | 15-20% | +20 MB | DB writes |
| Fine-Tuning | 25-30% | +30 MB | File I/O |
Timing
| Operation | Time |
|---|---|
| Session Detection | <1s |
| Queue Addition | <0.1s |
| Memory Processing | 1-2s |
| Training Data Prep | 1-2s |
| Fine-Tuning (sim) | 1-2s |
| Logging | <1s |
| Total per Session | 4-8s |
Scalability
- Sessions/hour: Unlimited (queue-based)
- Concurrent sessions: Sequential processing (thread-safe queue)
- Storage growth: ~1-5 MB per session
- Long-term operation: Designed for 24/7 continuous operation
Integration Points
Streamlit
# Session lifecycle tied to Streamlit session state
if 'tracker' not in st.session_state:
st.session_state.tracker = SessionTracker()
st.session_state.tracker.start_session()
# Automatic message logging in chat loop
st.session_state.tracker.log_message("user", user_input)
st.session_state.tracker.log_message("assistant", response)
# Manual or automatic session end
if st.button("End Session"):
st.session_state.tracker.end_session()
Console
# Lifecycle tied to application runtime
tracker = SessionTracker()
tracker.start_session()
# Message logging in chat loop
while chatting:
tracker.log_message("user", input())
tracker.log_message("assistant", get_response())
# Automatic cleanup on exit (via atexit)
tracker.end_session()
API
# Session tied to API session/token
sessions = {} # session_id -> tracker
@app.route('/start', methods=['POST'])
def start():
tracker = SessionTracker()
session_id = tracker.start_session()
sessions[session_id] = tracker
return {"session_id": session_id}
@app.route('/chat', methods=['POST'])
def chat():
tracker = sessions[session_id]
tracker.log_message("user", data['message'])
tracker.log_message("assistant", response)
return {"response": response}
@app.route('/end', methods=['POST'])
def end():
tracker = sessions.pop(session_id)
tracker.end_session()
return {"status": "complete"}
