 > Per [Hindsight's docs](https://hindsight.vectorize.io/developer/observations), observations are the **consolidated** knowledge layer Hindsight builds on top of raw facts: deduplicated beliefs grounded in evidence, refined as new facts arrive, with proof counts and freshness signals. Raw `world` / `experience` facts are the individual supporting evidence that feeds them. For per-turn context injection, observations are denser per token and avoid feeding the model multiple raw facts that one observation already summarizes.

-> Restore the broad recall with `"recall_types": "observation,world,experience"` (string or JSON list) in `~/.hermes/hindsight/config.json`. Per-turn `hindsight_recall` tool calls are unaffected — they only filter by `types` when the tool argument is passed explicitly.
+> Restore the broad recall with `"recall_types": "observation,world,experience"` (string or JSON list) in `~/.hermes/hindsight/config.json`. This applies to **both** auto-recall and the `hindsight_recall` tool — both read the same `recall_types` setting (the tool schema has no per-call `types` argument), so narrowing the default narrows both paths.
