Bulk reprocess a profile

Re-extract all sources compiled by a specific profile version. Useful when you've improved extraction prompts and want to recompile the entire corpus.

Basic usage

riverbank recompile --profile docs-policy-v1 --version 1

This:

1. Finds all sources associated with the profile
2. Re-runs the full ingestion pipeline for each source
3. Produces a summary with triples added, removed, and unchanged

Dry-run mode

Preview what would be recompiled without executing:

riverbank recompile --profile docs-policy-v1 --version 1 --dry-run

Limit the scope

Recompile only the first N sources (useful for testing):

riverbank recompile --profile docs-policy-v1 --version 1 --limit 10

When to recompile

• After updating the profile's prompt_text
• After upgrading the LLM model (e.g., switching from gpt-4 to gpt-4o)
• After fixing an extractor bug
• After expanding competency_questions and wanting to verify the full corpus

Cost considerations

Bulk recompile triggers LLM calls for every fragment (hash check is bypassed). Estimate the cost first:

riverbank runs --since 30d --profile docs-policy-v1

Look at the "Cost" column to estimate per-fragment cost, then multiply by fragment count.

Warning

A full recompile of a large corpus can be expensive. Consider using --limit to test on a subset first.
