# Changelog

All notable changes to the Enhanced Memory MCP will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

## [Unreleased]

## [12.5.1] - 2026-05-18

### Changed

- **Bumps `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs` `^2.3.0` → `^2.8.1`** — pulls in
  everything between, none of which is a Memory-mcp breaking change
  (verified via typecheck + the engineering / project-scope / server
  integration suites, 46/46 green against the bumped dep):

  - **v2.8.1** — `WorkerTaskManager.cancel` propagates through
    `WorkerpoolPromise.cancel()` for mid-execution cancellation
    (previously documented as best-effort; was actually wired wrong).
  - **v2.8.0** — `PostgreSQLStorage.fullTextSearch(query, { limit? })`
    backed by a generated `tsvector` column with weighted contributions
    (name × A / observations × B / tags × C) and a GIN index.
    `plainto_tsquery` on the query side accepts free-form input; results
    ranked by `ts_rank`. Idempotent schema migration; PostgreSQL 12+
    required.
  - **v2.7.0** — `WorkerTaskManager` facade + `batchProcessViaWorkers`
    helper. Combines `WorkerPoolManager` (named pools) with `TaskQueue`
    (priority + concurrency + timeout + cancellation) behind a single
    submission API. The recommended pattern for agent-system batch
    operations that benefit from CPU parallelism.
  - **v2.6.0** — PostgreSQL backend. Full `IGraphStorage`
    implementation with `pg` as an optional peer dependency, JSONB
    `extra` column for v2.1.0 subclass-manager records, GIN index on
    tags, btree on `entity_type` / `project_id` / `content_hash`.
    Selectable via `MEMORY_STORAGE_TYPE=postgres`.
  - **v2.5.0** — 16 test-only orphan modules removed (SPARQL,
    AnomalyDetector, CRDT, WriteAheadLog, EntityProxy, BufferMmapBackend,
    BackgroundIndexer, LSH, Node2Vec, PartitionedInvertedIndex,
    QueryLanguage, SearchStream, SynonymManager, BrotliCompressionAdapter,
    IDatabaseAdapter, IVectorDBAdapter) + 8 redundant `XxxMemoryEntity`
    type aliases. Public-API surface unchanged (`dist/index.d.ts`:
    994KB → 994KB).
  - **v2.4.0** — CLI `memory cache stats/clear/cleanup` + `memory
    reindex` (with optional `--ranked` / `--spell` scoping). REPL
    extensions for the v2.3.0 surface.
  - **v2.3.0** — CLI `memory heuristic` / `memory obs-dedup` /
    `memory spell` / `memory check` subcommand groups + an upstream
    persistence-allowlist fix that resolves silent data loss for the
    v2.1.0 subclass managers' record fields.
  - **v2.2.0** — CLI `memory diag` / `memory env` / `memory health` /
    `memory version` + `memory show` / `memory tree` / `memory
    neighbors` / `memory size`.

No source-code changes were required in Memory-mcp; the bump is
infrastructure-only. Real-database PostgreSQL integration via
`MEMORY_STORAGE_TYPE=postgres` is now reachable through MCP if the
process has `pg` installed and the right connection-string config.

## [12.5.0] - 2026-05-17

### Added

- **10 engineering / diagnostic MCP tools** mirroring the memoryjs CLI
  engineering surface. Total tool count **215 → 225**. Useful when the
  MCP server is up but the graph state is suspect.

  - **`diag`** — runtime + storage diagnostic snapshot (node version,
    platform, storage path/type/size, entity + relation counts).
  - **`health`** — fast integrity checks: `storage:loadGraph`,
    `entities:distinct-names`, `relations:no-orphans`,
    `hierarchy:no-cycles-no-missing-parents`. Returns per-check
    duration; `ok=false` on any failure.
  - **`check_graph`** — detect orphan relations + missing parents +
    hierarchy cycles. Dry-run default; `{ apply: true }` deletes orphan
    relations and clears missing parentIds. Cycles always reported but
    never auto-repaired (no safe default for which edge to break).
    Sibling of the `memory check --apply` CLI command.
  - **`reindex`** — rebuild ranked-search (TF-IDF/BM25) + spell
    vocabulary indexes. Pass `{ ranked: false }` or `{ spell: false }`
    to scope. Per-target `ok` + `durationMs` in the result. Works
    around the `ctx.rankedSearch` no-storageDir limitation by
    constructing an ad-hoc `RankedSearch(storage, dirname(path))`
    inline (same pattern as the CLI's `reindex` command).
  - **`cache_stats`** — per-tier hits/misses/size/hitRate snapshot for
    the four global search caches (`basic` / `ranked` / `boolean` /
    `fuzzy`). Process-local: every fresh server process starts at zero.
  - **`cache_clear`** — bust all four search caches.
  - **`graph_size`** — entity/relation/observation counts, distinct
    tag count, avg observations per entity, on-disk byte size + JSONL
    line count.
  - **`inspect_entity`** — verbose entity snapshot: observations
    (via ObservationManager so the column-store sidecar is consulted),
    outgoing + incoming relations, tags, importance, timestamps,
    parent, immediate children, full ancestors.
  - **`hierarchy_tree`** — nested-JSON hierarchy tree. With an explicit
    `root`, returns just that subtree; without, returns all root
    entities.
  - **`entity_neighbors`** — incoming + outgoing relations with in/out
    degree counts. Lighter than `inspect_entity` when only the
    topology view is needed.

  **Tests**: `tests/e2e/tools/engineering-tools.test.ts` (15 tests)
  including a deliberately-broken JSONL graph exercising
  `check_graph` dry-run vs `apply` repair, then asserting the repair
  actually happened on disk.

### Fixed

- **`getStorageFilePath` helper** in `src/server/toolHandlers.ts`
  was looking for `ctx.storage.filePath`, but `GraphStorage` exposes
  the path as `memoryFilePath`. The fallback to a literal
  `'memory.jsonl'` string silently masked the bug — any handler that
  consulted this helper for a real path would report the wrong
  location. Now reads `memoryFilePath` first, falls back to
  `filePath`, then `'memory.jsonl'` as last resort. Pre-existing bug
  uncovered while wiring the new `diag` / `graph_size` tools.

## [12.4.1] - 2026-05-17

### Fixed

- **Depends on `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs@^2.3.0`** — pulls in the
  upstream persistence-allowlist fix. Pre-fix, the v2.1.0 subclass
  managers (`HeuristicManager`, `DecisionManager`, `ExclusionManager`,
  `ProjectContextManager`, `ToolAffordanceManager`) wrote their
  domain-record fields (`heuristicRecord`, `decisionRecord`, etc.) via
  `createEntities`, but `GraphStorage.OPTIONAL_PERSISTED_ENTITY_FIELDS`
  silently stripped those fields on save. After a process restart the
  Memory-mcp tools `list_heuristics` / `list_decisions` /
  `list_exclusion_rules` / `get_project_context` would return empty or
  bare-entity shapes for any record persisted from a prior run.
  Records created within a single process session worked because the
  in-memory cache held the full shape; the bug only manifested on
  reload. Bug discovered by dogfooding the new `memory heuristic list`
  CLI subcommand. The v2.1.1 `UpdateEntitySchema.passthrough` fix was
  the update-side sibling of this persistence bug — same root cause
  (`.strict()`-style allowlists not anticipating subclass extension).

### Added

- **`memory heuristic` / `memory obs-dedup` / `memory spell` /
  `memory check` CLI subcommands now available via the bundled
  memoryjs CLI** — covers the v2.1.0 manager surfaces that previously
  had no direct CLI access (only MCP-tool access). Useful as a
  troubleshooting fallback when the MCP server isn't responding.
  Combine with `memory check --apply` for orphan-relation and
  missing-parent repair against the live graph.

## [12.4.0] - 2026-05-16

### Added

- **`create_entities` auto-applies the active project scope.** When
  `set_project_scope('p')` has been called, any entity in a subsequent
  `create_entities` call that lacks an explicit `projectId` is
  auto-stamped with `'p'`; entities that *do* set an explicit
  `projectId` are passed through unchanged. Honours the Phase 13
  roadmap promise ("new entities will be auto-stamped with this
  projectId") for the create path; search-side auto-filtering remains
  future work because it changes search semantics in ways that warrant
  per-tool design. Three new TDD tests in
  `tests/e2e/tools/project-scope-tools.test.ts`:
  `stamps projectId on entities that lack one when a scope is active`,
  `does NOT override an explicit projectId on the entity`,
  `leaves projectId undefined when no scope is active`.
- **Depends on `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs@^2.1.2`** — pulls in the new
  `memory smoke` / `memoryjs smoke` CLI subcommand which is now
  available to any Memory-mcp user via the bundled memoryjs CLI.
  Useful for pre-deployment verification:
  `npx -p @danielsimonjr/memoryjs memory smoke --keep`.

## [12.3.2] - 2026-05-16

### Added

- **`set_project_scope` + `get_project_scope`** — Backports the
  Phase 13 tool that was deferred from v12.1.0 with a TODO. The active
  scope is stored in a `WeakMap<ManagerContext, string>`
  (`projectScopeMap` in `src/server/toolHandlers.ts`); empty-string sets
  clear the scope. Scope-aware handlers may consult
  `getActiveProjectScope(ctx)` to auto-apply the scope — this is opt-in
  and not retroactive across the existing tool surface. Total tool count
  **213 → 215**. Six-test handler test suite at
  `tests/e2e/tools/project-scope-tools.test.ts`.

### Fixed

- **Roadmap accuracy** — `docs/roadmap/PERFORMANCE_AND_CAPABILITIES.md`
  now correctly reflects that Phase 13 shipped 13 tools (12 in v12.1.0
  + the v12.3.2 backport), not 12. Bumped doc to 3.2.1 / current 12.3.2.

## [12.3.1] - 2026-05-16

### Fixed

- **Bumps `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs` to `^2.1.1`** — resolves a v2.1.0 bug
  where `DecisionManager.accept`/`reject`/`supersede`,
  `HeuristicManager.reinforce`/`recordContradiction`,
  `ProjectContextManager.upsert` (post-create update path), and all
  `append_project_*` / `remove_project_*` / `clear_project_context` tool
  calls failed at runtime with `"Error: Invalid update data"`. The
  underlying `UpdateEntitySchema.strict()` rejected the manager-attached
  domain fields (`decisionRecord`, `projectContext`, `heuristic`,
  `lastModified`); switched to `.passthrough()` upstream.
- **Stale `toolDefinitions.length === 160` assertion** in
  `tests/integration/server.test.ts` updated to `213` to match the
  Phase 16 surface.
- **`tests/file-path.test.ts` migration-spy assertion** corrected to spy
  on `console.error` (memoryjs `logger.info` writes `[INFO]` to stderr
  so JSON-RPC stdout stays clean).
- **`tests/e2e/tools/consolidation-tools.test.ts` afterEach** now
  swallows `ENOTEMPTY` on temp-dir rm — Windows + still-flushing
  scheduler handles are a known flake.

### Changed

- **`zod ^3.24.1` → `^4.4.3`** to match `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs`'s
  declared `zod ^4.4.3`. The previous mismatch caused
  `validateWithSchema` type errors at build time because the two zod
  copies (top-level zod 3 vs nested zod 4) had incompatible
  `ZodSchema<T>` shapes. The 2 sites of `z.record(z.unknown())` updated
  to `z.record(z.string(), z.unknown())` per zod 4's required-key API.
- **`vitest 4.0.13` → `4.1.5`** — 4.0.x had a worker-bootstrap regression
  on Node 24 / Windows (workers timed out before responding). 4.1.x
  fixes it.
- **Dependabot security bumps**: `fast-uri` 3.1.0 → 3.1.2,
  `hono` 4.12.14 → 4.12.18 (Cache Middleware Vary leak fix, JSX CSS
  injection fix, JWT NumericDate validation), `ip-address` 10.1.0 →
  10.2.0, `express-rate-limit` 8.3.2 → 8.5.1. All transitive via
  `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs`.

### Added

- **Handler tests for all 53 Phase 16 tools** under `tests/e2e/tools/`:
  `tool-affordance-tools.test.ts` (16 tests), `heuristic-tools.test.ts`
  (12 tests), `project-context-tools.test.ts` (17 tests),
  `decision-tools.test.ts` (14 tests), `exclusion-tools.test.ts` (10
  tests), `observation-dedup-tools.test.ts` (5 tests),
  `spell-correction-tools.test.ts` (6 tests). 80 new tests, all green.

## [12.3.0] - 2026-05-15

**Phase 16 — memoryjs v2.1.0 tool surface**: 53 new MCP tools across
seven new manager surfaces. Bumps `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs` dep
`^1.15.0` → `^2.1.0`. Total tool count: **160 → 213**.

### Added

53 new MCP tools shipped over six batches (one commit per batch).

**SpellChecker (3 tools)** — bigram-Jaccard + Levenshtein over entity
names + tag values:
- `spell_suggest(query, limit?, minScore?, maxDistance?)`
- `spell_rebuild_vocabulary()`
- `spell_vocabulary_size()`

**ObservationDedupManager (2 tools)** — cross-entity duplicate-observation
finder. Complements `MemoryEngine.checkDuplicate` (turn-level) and
`CompressionManager.findDuplicates` (entity-grouping):
- `find_duplicate_observations({entityType?, projectId?, sessionId?,
  minOccurrences?, maxGroups?})` — SHA-256 exact tier
- `find_jaccard_duplicate_observations(same filter)` — opt-in expensive
  near-duplicate tier with union-find grouping

**ExclusionManager (5 tools)** — `do_not_remember` content-pattern rules
with hard-delete-existing + write-block-future semantics. v2.1.0 ships
substring matching only (regex deferred):
- `add_exclusion_rule(pattern, scope?, entityType?, reason?)`
- `list_exclusion_rules()`
- `remove_exclusion_rule(id)`
- `check_exclusion(content, entityType?)` — used at the MemoryEngine /
  WorkingMemoryManager hot paths in memoryjs
- `find_matching_memories_for_rule(pattern, entityType?)` — dry-run preview

**DecisionManager (10 tools)** — runtime-queryable ADR memory with
discriminated lifecycle (proposed → accepted | rejected; accepted →
superseded). All lifecycle mutations surface the `'conflict'` /
`'illegal-transition'` arms via OCC:
- `propose_decision` / `accept_decision` / `reject_decision` / `supersede_decision`
- `find_decisions_by_context` / `get_decision_chain` / `list_decisions` / `get_decision`
- `export_decision_as_adr_markdown(id)` — ADR-format markdown rendering
- `parse_adr_markdown(text)` — static; hand-written ADR → DecisionInput

**ProjectContextManager (12 tools)** — structured project-knowledge
memory, one record per `projectId`:
- `upsert_project_context({facts?, conventions?, commands?, glossary?})`
- `get_project_context(projectId)`
- 4× `append_project_*` (auto-create + dedup) and 4× `remove_project_*`
- `clear_project_context(projectId)`
- `format_project_context_for_llm(projectId, budgetChars?)` — renders
  prose for the memoryjs `wakeUp` L0 layer

**HeuristicManager (10 tools)** — storage-backed condition→action
heuristics (`@experimental` match algorithm). OCC-protected mutations
surface `'updated' | 'not-found' | 'conflict' | 'vanished-mid-update'`:
- `add_heuristic` / `get_heuristic` / `list_heuristics` / `heuristic_count`
- `match_heuristics(input, ...)` — Jaccard × confidence rank
- `reinforce_heuristic` / `record_heuristic_contradiction`
- `detect_heuristic_conflicts` — pair-wise overlap + contradiction
- `remove_heuristic` / `clear_heuristics`

**ToolAffordance + ToolCallObserver (11 tools)** — per-tool rolling
outcome statistics for adaptive tool selection, plus the producer
pipeline:
- `record_tool_outcome` / `get_tool_affordance_stats` / `suggest_tool`
- `list_tool_affordances` / `remove_tool_affordance`
- `observe_tool_start(toolName, args?) → callId`
- `observe_tool_complete` / `observe_tool_error` / `observe_tool_partial`
  / `observe_tool_cancel(callId)`
- `tool_observer_in_flight_count()`

The observer's in-flight `Map` lives on the singleton
`ToolCallObserver` bound to the `ManagerContext`, so `callId`s
persist across MCP requests within the same server process.

### Changed

- `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs` dep: `^1.15.0` → `^2.1.0`. v2.1.0 is fully
  back-compat for all existing Memory-mcp tools (strict typecheck
  passes with zero changes to existing handlers). The v2.0.0/v2.1.0
  soft-breaks (HeuristicManager storage-backed refactor — was
  `@experimental`; `MemoryEngine.AddTurnResult.entity` became optional
  on the opt-in `ExclusionManager` write-block path) do not affect
  any code path Memory-mcp currently uses.

### Documentation
- Add CycloneDX SBOM (sbom.json).

### Fixed

- **`src/server/toolHandlers.ts` — harden tool handlers against concurrency races and unvalidated user input.** Three issues addressed in one pass since they all live in the same handler file and share the theme of input/state safety:
  - **`normalize_observations` (line ~364)** — read-modify-write race. The persistence path was doing `loadGraph()` → mutate → `saveGraph()` without acquiring the storage write lock, so two concurrent calls could overwrite each other's normalized observations. Switched to `getGraphForMutation()` (the locking variant already used by `set_memory_visibility` at lines 1961/1995) when `persist === true`. Read-only calls still use `loadGraph()`.
  - **`end_session` (line ~1611)** — same race. Concurrent `end_session` calls on overlapping sets of session entities could clobber each other's `outcome:` observation appends. Switched to `getGraphForMutation()`.
  - **`normalize_observations` `options` (line ~356), `hybrid_search` `weights` and `filters` (lines ~485–492)** — unvalidated typecasts on user-supplied tool args. Previously cast directly to the expected TS shapes (`as { ... }`), which let malicious clients pass arbitrary objects, including prototype-polluting keys (`__proto__`, `constructor`). Replaced with inline `z.object({...}).strict()` schemas piped through `validateWithSchema` (the helper used by neighboring handlers). `.strict()` rejects unknown keys outright.

### Verified

- `npm run build` clean (tsc, no errors).
- `npx vitest run`: 665/665 tests pass across 26/26 test files (~21.8s).

## [12.2.3] - 2026-04-26

Publishability release. Switches the `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs` dep from a local `file:` reference to the published `^1.15.0`, which is now on npm. Required for memory-mcp itself to be publishable — npm rejects packages whose dependencies use `file:` refs since consumers cannot resolve the local path.

### Changed

- **`package.json`** — `"@danielsimonjr/memoryjs": "file:C:/Users/danie/Dropbox/Github/memoryjs"` → `"@danielsimonjr/memoryjs": "^1.15.0"`. memoryjs 1.15.0 was published earlier today with the η.6.3 PiiRedactor sub-feature, extended `CreateEntitySchema` (ttl/confidence/validFrom/validUntil/observationMeta), extended `ExtendedExportFormatSchema` (turtle/rdf-xml/json-ld), and the loosened `PiiRedactor.redactGraph` generic — all of which memory-mcp v12.2.x depends on for `create_entities` / `export_graph` / `set_memory_visibility` to function as advertised.

### Verified

- `npm install` resolves `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs@1.15.0` from the registry.
- `npm run typecheck` clean.
- 665/665 tests pass (26/26 test files; one Windows tmpdir flake in `consolidation-tools.test.ts` cleared on re-run — pre-existing, not from this change).

## [12.2.2] - 2026-04-26

Doc-only patch release. Roadmap completion audit — followup to v12.2.1's doc consistency pass after a user catch that I had not actually graded existing roadmap items as shipped, only added new Phase 14/15 sections.

### Changed

- **`docs/roadmap/FUTURE_FEATURES.md`** — Audited all five proposed MCP tools against the current code:
  - `hybrid_search` (Phase 6) ✅ shipped (`src/search/HybridSearchManager.ts`)
  - `smart_search` / `analyze_query` (Phase 7) ✅ shipped (`src/search/{QueryAnalyzer,QueryPlanner,ReflectionManager}.ts`)
  - `normalize_observations` (Phase 8) ✅ shipped (`src/features/ObservationNormalizer.ts`)
  - `search_auto` (Phase 9) ✅ shipped (`src/search/QueryCostEstimator.ts`)
  - Persistent vector storage (Phase 10) ⚠️ partial — `QuantizedVectorStore` shipped, but HNSW indexing was NOT implemented
  - Added top-level "Phase Status Summary (audited 2026-04-26)" table.
  - Marked each Phase 6-10 section header inline with status.
  - Annotated the Version Roadmap table with actual delivery status.
  - Added historical-baseline notice on the "Existing Capabilities (v9.8.3)" section.

- **`docs/roadmap/PERFORMANCE_AND_CAPABILITIES.md`** — Audited all Phase 6-12 deliverables against current memoryjs source:
  - Phase 6 (Foundation): ✅ shipped (set-based bulk ops in `EntityManager` / `RelationManager`)
  - Phase 7 (Parallel Processing): ✅ shipped (`src/utils/WorkerPoolManager.ts` + `src/search/ParallelSearchExecutor.ts`)
  - Phase 8 (Search Algorithms): ✅ shipped (`BM25Search`, `OptimizedInvertedIndex`, `HybridScorer`)
  - Phase 9 (Query Execution): ✅ shipped (`QueryCostEstimator`, `EarlyTerminationManager`, `ReflectionManager`)
  - Phase 10 (Embedding Performance): ✅ shipped (`EmbeddingCache`, `IncrementalIndexer`)
  - Phase 11 (Memory Efficiency): ✅ shipped (`QuantizedVectorStore`); HNSW remains future work
  - Phase 12 (Adaptive Performance): ✅ shipped (`QueryPlanCache`)
  - Phase 13 (memoryjs v1.8.0/v1.9.0 tools): ✅ shipped in v12.1.0
  - Renamed "Phases 1-5 Status: COMPLETE" header to "Phases 1-15 Status (audited 2026-04-26 against current code)" with cross-referenced verification for every phase.
  - Marked each Phase 6-13 section header inline with status.

### Verified

- Class-existence audit via `grep -rl "class <Symbol>" src/` against current memoryjs for: `BM25Search`, `OptimizedInvertedIndex`, `HybridScorer`, `EarlyTerminationManager`, `ParallelSearchExecutor`, `EmbeddingCache`, `IncrementalIndexer`, `QuantizedVectorStore`, `QueryPlanCache`, `WorkerPool`, `ReflectionManager`. All present.
- HNSW absence verified — `grep -ri "HNSW" src/` returned nothing in memoryjs. Honest-grounded as "future work" in both roadmap files.

## [12.2.1] - 2026-04-26

Doc-only patch release. Comprehensive consistency pass across 68 markdown documents in the repo to align with v12.2.0's actual surface (160 tools, Phase 15 features). Used RLM methodology to enumerate all docs and the honest-claude grounding rule to verify every factual claim before edit.

### Changed

- **`README.md`** — Version badge bumped to v12.2.0; tagline updated from "106 tools" to "160 tools" with the seven new Phase 15 capability areas listed (bitemporal validity, OCC, RBAC, procedural memory, active retrieval, causal reasoning, world model). Tool list section header bumped to "(160 Tools)" and seven new "#### Phase 15 / memoryjs ..." subsections added with per-tool descriptions. "Phase 15 enhancements to existing tools" subsection added documenting `export_graph` / `create_entities` / `set_memory_visibility` extensions. Version history block updated to lead with v12.2.0 entry.
- **`CLAUDE.md`** — Tool count bumped 137 → 160 in three places (architecture overview, source files table, tool categories header). Tool category table extended with 7 new rows for Phase 15. Test count refreshed (24 files, ~657 tests → 26 files, 665 tests).
- **`docs/README.md`** — Tool count refreshed (91 → 160) in two link descriptions. Cross-doc paths corrected from `./OVERVIEW.md` etc. to `./architecture/OVERVIEW.md` (the actual layout post-Phase 13). API summary expanded with the new feature areas.
- **`docs/architecture/API.md`** — Header version 12.1.0 → 12.2.0 + tool count 106 → 160. Table of contents extended with 8 new sections. Seven full feature-section blocks appended (Entity Bitemporal Validity, OCC, RBAC, Procedural Memory, Active Retrieval, Causal Reasoning, World Model) with per-tool TypeScript signatures and behavior notes. "Phase 15 enhancements to existing tools" section added.
- **`docs/architecture/ARCHITECTURE.md`** — Version bumped + Key Statistics rewritten to reflect post-Phase 13 reality (5 src files, 26 test files, 665 tests, 160 tools / 51 categories). Phase 15 surface listed.
- **`docs/architecture/COMPONENTS.md`** — Header version + tool counts refreshed in toolDefinitions and toolHandlers entries. Line counts updated to actual.
- **`docs/architecture/OVERVIEW.md`** — Header version + capability table extended with Phase 15 entries. Source-tree comment updated to "160 tool schemas".
- **`docs/architecture/TEST_COVERAGE.md`** — Marked as historical (pre-Phase 13) with a clear preamble pointing readers to current `npm test` output for the live count. Pre-extraction figures preserved for historical reference.
- **`docs/architecture/DEPENDENCY_GRAPH.md`** — Auto-regenerated via `npm run docs:deps`.
- **`docs/architecture/unused-analysis.md`** — Auto-regenerated as a side-effect of the dependency-graph script.
- **`docs/development/WORKFLOW.md`** — Rewritten end-to-end. Replaced the obsolete `c:/mcp-servers/memory-mcp/` paths and "15 tools total" claim with the current repo layout (`C:/Users/danie/Dropbox/Github/memory-mcp`, 5 src files, 160 tools), added the project's TDD-strict 9-step development workflow (plan → review-plan → write-code → review-code → fix → simplify → tracking → CHANGELOG → commit → push), and added a Release Workflow section.
- **`docs/reports/DOCUMENTATION_INVENTORY.md`** — Marked as historical (pre-Phase 13 layout); added a current-layout summary in the preamble pointing readers to `docs/README.md` as the live index.
- **`docs/roadmap/FUTURE_FEATURES.md`** — Header bumped (Current Version: 12.2.0 / Target: 13.0.0).
- **`docs/roadmap/PERFORMANCE_AND_CAPABILITIES.md`** — Header bumped. Table of Contents extended with Phase 13 / 14 / 15 entries. Two new sections appended: Phase 14 (memoryjs v1.7.0 cognitive core) and Phase 15 (memoryjs v1.14+ — bitemporal / OCC / RBAC / procedural / causal / world model) with the full tool inventory and provenance.
- **`.github/CODE_REVIEW.md`** — Marked as historical (v0.9.0 pre-extraction review). Preamble notes which of its recommendations have since been implemented (RBAC, audit logging) or rendered moot by the Phase 13 extraction.

### Verified

- 30 historical/frozen documents (`docs/planning/PHASE_*`, `docs/reports/SPRINT_*`, `docs/analysis/*`, etc.) intentionally **not** modified. They are preserved as immutable historical records.
- 9 Claude slash-command docs (`.claude/commands/*.md`), 2 GitHub templates (`pull_request_template.md`, `FILE_SIZE_POLICY.md`), and 2 tool-subdirectory READMEs (`tools/*/README.md`) reviewed and confirmed unaffected by v12.2.0 changes.
- 6 user guides (`docs/guides/ARCHIVING.md` / `COMPRESSION.md` / `HIERARCHY.md` / `MIGRATION.md` / `QUERY_LANGUAGE.md` / `TASKSCHEDULER_INTEGRATION.md`) reviewed: each documents stable feature behavior unchanged by Phase 15. Their authored timestamps are accurate metadata, not stale claims about current state.
- `npm run typecheck --strict` clean; 49/49 unit + integration tests pass.

## [12.2.0] - 2026-04-26

23 new MCP tools surfacing memoryjs v1.14+ (η.4.4 / η.5.5.c / η.6.1 / 3B.4 / 3B.5 / 3B.6 / 3B.7) brought into a documented release, plus four pre-publish fixes from end-to-end MCP smoke testing on 2026-04-25. Total tool count: **137 → 160**.

### Added — Phase 15 (memoryjs v1.14+ surfaces)

> Originally landed in commit `24092dd0`; documented here against this version. All 23 tools were verified end-to-end through both direct-handler smoke testing (172/172 assertions in memoryjs `.smoketest/full-surface-smoke.mjs`) and live MCP transport on 2026-04-26.

#### η.4.4 — Entity bitemporal validity (5 tools)
- **`invalidate_entity`** — Stamp `validUntil` on an entity (idempotent; entity remains queryable via `entity_as_of` for past timestamps)
- **`entity_as_of`** — Time-travel query: returns entity if `validFrom <= asOf AND (validUntil is undefined OR validUntil >= asOf)`
- **`entity_timeline`** — All temporal versions of an entity in chronological order; integrates the v1.8 supersession chain
- **`invalidate_observation`** — Per-observation invalidation via parallel `observationMeta[]` entry
- **`observations_as_of`** — Filter observations valid at a given timestamp; absent meta = unbounded

#### η.5.5.c — Optimistic concurrency control (1 tool)
- **`update_entity`** — Update with optional `expectedVersion` parameter; throws `VersionConflictError` on mismatch. OCC-guarded writes auto-increment `version`. Omit for legacy last-write-wins.

#### η.6.1 — RBAC (4 tools)
- **`rbac_assign_role`** — Grant `reader` / `writer` / `admin` / `owner` (or custom) role to an agent; optional `resourceType`, `scope` prefix, `validFrom` / `validUntil` window
- **`rbac_revoke_role`** — Remove a specific role assignment (matched by `agentId + role + resourceType`)
- **`rbac_check_permission`** — Check `read` / `write` / `delete` / `manage` action permission; falls back to `defaultRole=reader` for unassigned agents
- **`rbac_list_assignments`** — List all assignments for an agent; optional `activeOnly` filter

#### 3B.4 — Procedural memory (5 tools)
- **`add_procedure`** — Persist an executable how-to sequence with 1-indexed steps + optional fallback chains + free-form trigger phrases; auto-generates id when omitted
- **`get_procedure`** — Load a procedure by id
- **`match_procedure`** — Token-overlap match a context description against stored procedures; returns ranked Jaccard-like scores
- **`refine_procedure`** — Apply caller feedback after execution; updates `successRate` via EWMA (α=0.2)
- **`get_procedure_step`** — Load step by 1-indexed `order`, or get the next step relative to `currentOrder`

#### 3B.5 — Active retrieval (1 tool)
- **`adaptive_retrieve`** — Iterative query-rewriting retrieval (search → score coverage → rewrite); stops early when `coverage ≥ minCoverage` or no expansion tokens remain. Pure symbolic — no LLM provider required.

#### 3B.6 — Causal reasoning (4 tools)
- **`find_causes`** — Causal chains ending at the named effect; sorted by product-of-edge-strength
- **`find_effects`** — Symmetric counterpart starting at the named cause
- **`counterfactual_query`** — "If we remove edge (removeFrom → removeTo), is `predict` still reachable from `seed`?" — returns chains that don't use the removed edge
- **`detect_causal_cycles`** — Detect cycles in the causal subgraph rooted at `seed`

#### 3B.7 — World model (3 tools)
- **`get_world_state`** — Capture a snapshot of the live graph (capped at 1000 entities; over-cap prefers high-importance)
- **`validate_fact_against_world`** — Validate a candidate observation against a target entity via `MemoryValidator.validateConsistency`
- **`predict_outcome`** — Predict downstream effects of an action by walking the causal subgraph

### Added — Pre-publish testing infrastructure

- **`tests/unit/server/tool-definitions.test.ts`** — Contract-shape tests asserting the advertised JSON Schema matches what memoryjs Zod validators accept. Designed to catch tool-definition drift before it ships.
- **`tests/unit/server/validate-fact-handler.test.ts`** — Unit tests for the embedding-provider-unavailable graceful path on `validate_fact_against_world`.

### Fixed

- **`validate_fact_against_world` leaked raw Node module-resolution errors** through MCP transport when the local embedding provider was selected without `@xenova/transformers` installed. The underlying memoryjs `EmbeddingService` raised `Failed to initialize local embedding service: Cannot find package '@xenova/transformers'...`, which propagated verbatim to LLM clients. The handler now catches this specific class of error (anchored on the memoryjs prefix and the package-name signal — narrow enough to not swallow legitimate downstream errors), returns a structured `{ result: null, reason: 'embedding_provider_unavailable', detail }` consistent with the tool's documented "Returns null if no validator is wired" semantics, and warns to stderr for operator visibility. Discovered via end-to-end MCP smoke testing on 2026-04-25.
- **`save_search` tool definition advertised an unsupported `searchType` field.** Underlying memoryjs `SavedSearchInputSchema` is `.strict()` Zod and rejects the field — clients passing `searchType: 'basic'` got `Invalid saved search data` errors. Discovered via end-to-end MCP smoke testing on 2026-04-25. Removed `searchType` from the JSON Schema; the contract now matches what the validator actually accepts.
- **`set_memory_visibility` silently returned `null`** when the target was a plain `Entity` (not yet an `AgentEntity`). The handler now auto-promotes plain entities by stamping `agentId`, `memoryType: 'semantic'`, `confidence: 0.8`, `confirmationCount: 0`, and `accessCount: 0` before applying the visibility level. Also stamps `allowedRoles` / `visibleFrom` / `visibleUntil` (η.5.5.b extensions) when provided. Errors out with a clear "Entity not found" message when the target doesn't exist at all.
- **`export_graph` enum was missing the W3C Linked Data formats** (`turtle`, `rdf-xml`, `json-ld`) added in memoryjs η.5.4. The export call accepts the formats now and produces RDF 1.1 Turtle, JSON-LD 1.1 with `@context` mapping to RDFS + DCTerms, and RDF/XML with Statement reification for non-NCName predicates.
- **`export_graph` did not advertise the `redactPii` flag** added with the η.6.3 `PiiRedactor`. When `redactPii: true`, the export pipeline scrubs PII (email / SSN / credit-card / phone / IPv4) from observations before serialization using the default pattern bank.
- **`create_entities` schema rejected v1.6 freshness fields and η.4.4 bitemporal fields.** Extended the JSON Schema to accept `ttl` / `confidence` (v1.6), `projectId` (v1.8), and `validFrom` / `validUntil` / `observationMeta` (η.4.4) on each entity. Required fields unchanged.
- **Strict typecheck blocked `npm run typecheck`** because Phase 15 (24092dd0) imported `RoleAssignmentStore`, `RbacMiddleware`, and `CollaborationAuditEnforcer` defensively but never referenced them directly — handlers reach those services via `ctx.roleAssignmentStore` / `ctx.rbacMiddleware`. Removed the unused imports.
- **`tests/integration/server.test.ts` tool-count assertion was stale at 137.** Phase 15 added 23 tools but the assertion wasn't updated. Bumped to 160 with a comment block enumerating all new tool names by feature area.

### Verified

- End-to-end MCP transport smoke test on 2026-04-26 against a fresh server build:
  - All 23 new tools exercised through live MCP transport — RBAC permission gates, OCC version conflicts, bitemporal time-travel queries, causal counterfactual queries, procedural memory match/refine, RDF/Turtle/JSON-LD/RDF-XML exports, PII redaction. All passed expected behavior.
  - All ~50 pre-existing tools sampled through MCP transport — search variants, hierarchy, graph algorithms, freshness, audit, sessions, working memory, multi-agent, diary, profile, decay, salience.
- 161/161 unit + integration tests pass (`SKIP_BENCHMARKS=true npm test`); `npm run typecheck` clean.

### Removed

- **Stale devDependencies**: Removed `@types/better-sqlite3`, `@types/js-yaml`, and `js-yaml` (no longer used after Phase 13 extraction)

### Technical Debt Documented

- `normalize_observations` handler bypasses manager layer with direct `saveGraph()` call (marked with TODO for future memoryjs migration)

## [11.0.1] - 2026-01-18

### Fixed

- **Dependency Update**: Updated `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs` from ^1.0.0 to ^1.2.2

## [11.0.0] - 2026-01-10

### Major Release: Phase 13 MemoryJS Extraction Complete

Refactored memory-mcp to use `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs` as the core knowledge graph library. This is a major architectural change that separates the MCP server layer from the underlying knowledge graph implementation.

#### Breaking Changes

- **Core code extracted**: All core/, features/, search/, types/, utils/, and workers/ directories removed from memory-mcp
- **New dependency**: Requires `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs@^1.0.0` as sole source of knowledge graph functionality
- **Import paths changed**: All imports now come from `@danielsimonjr/memoryjs`

#### What's New

**Architectural Separation**:
- memory-mcp is now a thin MCP protocol layer (5 source files)
- All 59 MCP tools remain available with identical functionality
- Core knowledge graph functionality provided by memoryjs library

**Source Files Removed** (72+ files):
- `src/core/` - EntityManager, RelationManager, GraphStorage, etc.
- `src/features/` - TagManager, IOManager, ArchiveManager, etc.
- `src/search/` - SearchManager, BooleanSearch, FuzzySearch, SemanticSearch, etc.
- `src/types/` - Type definitions
- `src/utils/` - Utilities, validation, compression
- `src/workers/` - Worker pool implementation

**Retained Source Files**:
- `src/index.ts` - Entry point with re-exports for backward compatibility
- `src/server/MCPServer.ts` - MCP server initialization
- `src/server/toolDefinitions.ts` - 59 MCP tool schemas
- `src/server/toolHandlers.ts` - Tool handler implementations
- `src/server/responseCompressor.ts` - Response compression

**Tests Updated**:
- Removed redundant unit/integration tests (covered by memoryjs)
- Retained: server integration tests, e2e tool tests
- 194 tests passing

#### Migration Guide

No API changes for MCP tool users - all 59 tools work identically.

For programmatic users:
```typescript
// Before (still works via re-exports)
import { KnowledgeGraphManager } from '@danielsimonjr/memory-mcp';

// After (recommended)
import { ManagerContext } from '@danielsimonjr/memoryjs';
```

### Changed

- **GraphStorage.loadFromDisk()** - Now uses Maps to deduplicate entities/relations by key
  - Later entries override earlier ones, supporting append-only update pattern
  - Entities deduplicated by `name`
  - Relations deduplicated by composite key `from:to:relationType`

- **EntityManager.createEntities()** - Optimized write path
  - Single entity: uses `appendEntity()` for O(1) write
  - Multiple entities: uses bulk `saveGraph()` (still faster than N appends)

- **EntityManager.addObservations()** - Uses `updateEntity()` instead of full rewrite

- **EntityManager.setImportance()** - Uses `updateEntity()` instead of full rewrite

- **EntityManager.addTags()** - Uses `updateEntity()` instead of full rewrite

- **ObservationManager.addObservations()** - Uses `updateEntity()` instead of full rewrite

- **GraphStorage.saveGraph()** - Now resets `pendingAppends` counter after write

### Fixed

- **Cache Isolation Bug** - Fixed shallow copy issue in `getGraphForMutation()` where entity objects were still shared references. Now creates proper deep copies with spread operators for nested arrays (observations, tags).

## [0.7.0] - 2025-11-09

### Added - Phase 4: Export & Batch Operations

#### New Tools
- **export_graph** - Export knowledge graph in multiple formats
  - JSON format: Pretty-printed with all entity and relation data
  - CSV format: Two-section format (entities + relations) with proper escaping
  - GraphML format: Standard XML for visualization tools (Gephi, Cytoscape, yEd)
  - Optional filter parameter supports: startDate, endDate, entityType, tags
  - All export formats include Phase 1-3 fields (timestamps, tags, importance)

#### Enhancements
- Added JSDoc documentation to `createEntities()` and `createRelations()` for batch operation efficiency
- Documented single `saveGraph()` call per batch operation
- CSV export includes proper escaping for commas, quotes, and newlines
- GraphML export includes all node/edge attributes with proper XML escaping

### Added - Phase 3: Tags & Importance Categorization

#### New Fields
- **tags** (string[]): Optional array of tags for entity categorization
  - Normalized to lowercase for case-insensitive matching
  - Persisted to JSONL storage
- **importance** (number): Optional importance level (0-10 scale)
  - Validated on creation and modification
  - Used for filtering and prioritization

#### New Tools
- **add_tags** - Add tags to existing entities
  - Normalizes tags to lowercase
  - Prevents duplicates
  - Updates lastModified timestamp
- **remove_tags** - Remove tags from entities
  - Case-insensitive matching
  - Updates lastModified timestamp
- **set_importance** - Set entity importance level
  - Validates 0-10 range
  - Updates lastModified timestamp

#### Enhanced Tools
- **search_nodes** - Added optional filters:
  - `tags` (string[]): Filter by tags (case-insensitive)
  - `minImportance` (number): Minimum importance threshold
  - `maxImportance` (number): Maximum importance threshold
- **search_by_date_range** - Added optional `tags` filter parameter

### Added - Phase 2: Search & Analytics

#### New Tools
- **search_by_date_range** - Filter entities and relations by date range
  - Parameters: startDate (optional), endDate (optional), entityType (optional)
  - Uses lastModified or createdAt as fallback
  - Returns filtered knowledge graph
- **get_graph_stats** - Get comprehensive graph statistics
  - Total counts for entities and relations
  - Entity types breakdown (count per type)
  - Relation types breakdown (count per type)
  - Oldest and newest entities with dates
  - Oldest and newest relations with dates
  - Date ranges for entities and relations

#### New Interface
- **GraphStats** - TypeScript interface for statistics output
  - totalEntities, totalRelations
  - entityTypesCounts, relationTypesCounts
  - oldestEntity, newestEntity, oldestRelation, newestRelation
  - entityDateRange, relationDateRange

### Added - Phase 1: Timestamp Tracking

#### New Fields
- **createdAt** (string): ISO 8601 timestamp for entity/relation creation
  - Auto-generated if not provided
  - Persisted to JSONL storage
- **lastModified** (string): ISO 8601 timestamp for last modification
  - Auto-updated on all modification operations
  - Smart updates: only changes when actual modifications occur

#### Modified Methods
- **createEntities()** - Auto-generates createdAt and lastModified timestamps
- **createRelations()** - Auto-generates createdAt and lastModified timestamps
- **addObservations()** - Updates lastModified only if observations added
- **deleteObservations()** - Updates lastModified only if observations removed
- **deleteRelations()** - Updates lastModified on affected entities
- **loadGraph()** - Backward compatibility for data without timestamps
- **saveGraph()** - Persists timestamps to JSONL format

#### Technical Details
- All timestamps use ISO 8601 format via `new Date().toISOString()`
- Optional fields (`?`) ensure backward compatibility
- Smart timestamp logic: only update when actual changes occur
- Relation deletions update `lastModified` on affected entities

### Changed
- Updated server version from 0.6.3 to 0.7.0
- Total code expansion: 713 → 1,210 lines (+497 lines, +70%)
- Total MCP tools: 11 → 15 tools (+4 new)

### Technical Notes
