hirameki
A vector-search API whose source code is gone — still running, sealed by digest, and deliberately never rebuilt.

What it does
Unknown, in the specific sense that matters most: no client, no route table, no README survives to say what a person did with it. What's certain is narrower — it is an API that stayed up, backed by a Postgres database with the vector extension enabled, which means it stored and searched embeddings. Semantic similarity over something. The record stops there.
How it is built
A single Go service on :8080, fronted the same way every app on the box is, with pgvector doing the retrieval work underneath. It is the platform's oldest resident — the one app that predates the per-project convention and still sits in AWS's shared default network as a fossil of that.
Where it stands
Its source directory was gone before anyone thought to ask why. What's left is one built image, pinned by digest so it can never drift or be overwritten, kept running and archived off-site, and never touched again. The name is 閃き, hirameki — the flash of insight, the moment before an idea becomes anything. Whatever it was insight into didn't make it into the record.
This entry was drafted from the platform's own infrastructure notes, not from the app itself — there was nothing left to read it from. Still to come: nothing likely. The source is gone.
