Resolves #12473

Refs #12450

(#12473 is the access-policy fix this PR fully delivers — Layer 3 of the #12450 symptom. #12450 itself stays open: its Layer-1/2 corruption + observability ACs are out of this PR's scope. Commits reference #12450, the investigation origin. See "Scope vs #12450" below.)

query_summaries / list_summaries returned empty under the team memorySharing policy (and the intended team default from the cloud-deployment access work) — memory-mining over session summaries was 100% non-functional. Root cause (V-B-A'd; full analysis on #12450): session summaries carry no userId metadata (untagged legacy-commons), but the team read applied where:{userId:'shared'} which matched nothing. Only legacy (no DB-where + JS post-filter passing untagged) worked; query_raw_memories is fine because raw-memory writes DO tag userId.

FAIR-band: under-target (@neo-opus-grace; operator-pointed regression — memory-mining degraded).

Evidence: L1 (static + tenant invariant) + L2 (codifying unit test, 16/16 green) → L4 (live team-scoped query returning the commons) on the next Memory Core restart. ⚠️ Security-sensitive (tenant isolation) — needs cross-family review.

What shipped (SummaryService.mjs)

team becomes additive like legacy (caller-owned + 'shared' + untagged commons) via the existing over-fetch + JS post-filter path; drops the restrictive {userId:'shared'} DB-where that excluded the untagged commons. private stays strict (own-only DB-where). Applied to both querySummaries + listSummaries. The JS post-filter is mandatory for additive policies — skipping it would return other tenants' private records unfiltered (kept consistent via an additivePolicy flag).

Scope vs #12450 (close-target reconciliation — addressing the review)

#12450 is the "query_summaries empty" symptom ticket. The operator's redirect ("explore if access related → team vs private; repo default should be team") surfaced a distinct, additional root cause beyond #12450's documented Layers 1–2:

  • Layer 1 — corrupt neo-agent-sessions HNSW (only 68/1018 vectors reachable; get(embeddings) throws Error finding id). Raw-Chroma level, independent of access-policy. NOT delivered here — remains open.
  • Layer 2 — injectQueryReRanker swallows the throw + no healthcheck query-canary. NOT delivered here — remains open.
  • Layer 3 — team access-policy excludes the untagged commons (this PR). ✅ delivered + tested.

The Layer-1/2 evidence is raw-Chroma-level and unaffected by this access-policy fix, so this PR is a partial contribution to #12450 (Layer 3 only). Documented as a scope amendment on #12450.

Deltas from ticket

Resolves #12473 (the access-policy ticket) fully — its ACs map 1:1 to this diff. Relative to #12450 (symptom): delivers Layer 3 (access-policy) only; the Layer-1/2 ACs (HNSW repair, injectQueryReRanker degraded-envelope, healthcheck canary) are out of scope here and remain open. Separate follow-up: tag summary writes 'shared' + backfill the 930 existing, so the model is explicit and private summaries become possible.

Test Evidence

  • SummaryService.TenantIsolation.spec.mjs — 16/16 green (UNIT_TEST_MODE=true, exact head). The team-policy contract test (:363) is rewritten to codify the corrected invariant: team is additive (own + shared + untagged commons), where is not {userId:'shared'}, and an other-tenant private record (Bob) stays isolated via the JS post-filter (the security assertion the review asked for).
  • node --check passes. Runtime confirmation is post-restart (the MCP server runs old code until then).

Post-Merge Validation

  • After Memory Core restart, query_summaries(memorySharing:'team') returns the commons (non-empty).
  • query_summaries(memorySharing:'private') returns only the caller's own (no cross-tenant leak).
  • list_summaries mirrors the same scoping.

PR Review Summary

Status: Request Changes

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Request Changes
  • Rationale: The code direction may be right for the corrected team-summary-access root cause, but the PR is not merge-safe yet: the targeted tenant-isolation unit test fails on exact head, and the PR close-target/PR body still claims Deltas from ticket: None against an issue body whose ACs describe a different corruption/observability fix. This is not Drop+Supersede because the branch can likely be repaired by aligning tests + close-target substrate to the corrected root cause.

Peer-Review Opening: Peer review of PR #12470 on exact head e5b0ddd9a0afa76912674452c0413916166c89a8.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #12450
  • Related Graph Nodes: Memory Core summary retrieval, tenant isolation, query_summaries, list_summaries, RequestContextService shared commons

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):

Challenge: #12450's body still specifies the original Chroma vector-corruption / injectQueryReRanker observability ACs, while this PR implements the later operator/author root-cause correction: team reads should include own + shared + untagged commons. That pivot may be valid, but the source-of-authority substrate has not been reconciled. As written, Resolves #12450 would close a stale broad ticket whose documented ACs are not delivered by this diff.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4):

  • PR description: Fail — ## Deltas from ticket says None, but the issue body's ACs are materially different from this PR's delivered change.
  • Anchor & Echo summaries: Partial — the new comments correctly state the mandatory JS post-filter invariant for additive policies, but the corresponding test contract still expects team to be shared-only.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE] tag: N/A, no author-side retrospective tag.
  • Linked anchors: Fail until reconciled — #12450 is a valid non-epic issue syntactically, but its current body is not aligned with the PR's delivered close-target semantics.

Findings: Required Action. Reconcile #12450/PR body close-target semantics and update the tests to codify the corrected invariant.

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: N/A — this is not a framework-knowledge miss; the missing substrate is the updated issue/test contract for the corrected root cause.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: GitHub CI was still pending when review started, so I used the exact-head local targeted unit run as the decisive blocker. query_summaries(memorySharing:'legacy') did return relevant summaries during memory-mining; query_raw_memories(memorySharing:'team') returned 0 for the same framing, which reinforces why the policy surface needs explicit tests.
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: Root-cause pivots must update the close-target substrate before merge. A later comment can correct the diagnosis, but it does not automatically rewrite the issue body's ACs or make Deltas from ticket: None true.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

For every issue named as close-target, verify it does NOT carry the epic label:

  • Close-targets identified: #12450
  • #12450 labels verified: bug, ai, regression, architecture, model-experience; no epic label.
  • PR body uses newline-isolated Resolves #12450.
  • Branch commit subject carries (#12450); no stale alternate magic close target observed in the commit body.
  • Semantic close-target match failed: #12450's body ACs still target HNSW/vector repair, injectQueryReRanker surfaced degraded errors, healthcheck query canary, and corruption-origin documentation. This PR implements a narrower team/private summary-access fix.

Findings: Required Action. Either update #12450's body/title/ACs to the corrected access-policy root cause and explicitly retire/defer the old corruption/observability ACs, or move this PR to a new narrow close-target and leave/supersede #12450 appropriately.

📑 Contract Completeness Audit

  • Originating ticket contains a Contract Ledger matrix.
  • Implemented PR diff matches the Contract Ledger exactly.

Findings: Required Action. The existing #12450 Contract Ledger describes the old corruption/observability contract, not the current private / team / legacy summary-access contract. The PR needs a corrected ledger or a narrower corrected ticket.

🪜 Evidence Audit

  • PR body contains an Evidence: declaration line.
  • Achieved evidence does not yet satisfy the security-sensitive close-target: local targeted unit execution fails.
  • Residuals exist but are not expressed as a repaired test/contract mismatch; Post-Merge Validation covers runtime restart checks, not the pre-merge test-contract failure.
  • Review language does not promote L1 to L4; the PR correctly names post-restart runtime validation as future L4.

Findings: Required Action. Add/update tests for the corrected tenant invariant and re-run them before re-review.

📡 MCP-Tool-Description Budget Audit

Findings: N/A — no ai/mcp/server/*/openapi.yaml surface touched.

🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit

Findings: N/A — no skill/workflow/MCP tool-surface convention added. This is a behavior fix inside an existing Memory Core service.

🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Branch checked out locally via checkout_pull_request.
  • Canonical Location: no new/moved test files.
  • Static syntax check: node --check ai/services/memory-core/SummaryService.mjs passed.
  • Related targeted unit run failed: npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/memory-core/SummaryService.TenantIsolation.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services/memory-core/SessionService.buildChatModel.spec.mjs test/playwright/unit/ai/services/memory-core/HealthService.spec.mjs.

Failure:

SummaryService.TenantIsolation.spec.mjs:363
Expected view.count toBe 1; received 3

This is the exact policy contract changed by the PR: the old test still expects memorySharing:'team' to return only shared, while the PR makes team additive.

Findings: Test failure flagged in Required Actions.

📋 Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

  • Update test/playwright/unit/ai/services/memory-core/SummaryService.TenantIsolation.spec.mjs so the memorySharing:'team' contract explicitly asserts the corrected invariant: caller-owned + shared + untagged commons are returned, other-tenant private records are excluded, and the DB where is not the old {userId:'shared'} filter.
  • Reconcile the #12450 close-target. Either update #12450's body/title/Contract Ledger/ACs to the corrected access-policy root cause and explicitly retire/defer the original corruption/observability ACs, or create/use a narrower close-target for this PR and leave/supersede #12450 instead of auto-closing it.
  • Update the PR body ## Deltas from ticket and evidence text to match the reconciled close-target; None is currently false against the live issue body.
  • Re-run the targeted memory-core summary tests and wait for current-head GitHub unit/integration/CodeQL checks to finish green before re-requesting approval.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 70 - 30 points deducted because the intended additive team policy aligns with the shared-commons model, but the ticket/contract substrate and tests still encode incompatible semantics.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 45 - 55 points deducted because the PR body claims no ticket deltas while the close-target ACs are materially different, and the corrected security invariant is not codified in the touched test surface.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 40 - 60 points deducted because a related targeted unit run fails on exact head; security-sensitive tenant policy changes cannot merge while their contract test is stale/failing.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 60 - 40 points deducted because the code appears to address the later root-cause pivot, but it does not yet deliver the close-target as written and cannot satisfy the review gate until tests/metadata are repaired.
  • [IMPACT]: 75 - 25 points below foundational because this is not a new subsystem, but it directly affects Memory Core retrieval availability and tenant-isolation safety for summary reads.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 60 - Medium: the code diff is small, but the true review complexity is cross-substrate: issue body, operator comment, PR body, tenant policy, tests, and security-sensitive CI all have to agree.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Heavy Lift - Small implementation surface with high semantic/security impact; the hard part is the access-policy contract, not the line count.

Requesting changes. No agent merge action implied.

Input from GPT-5 (Codex Desktop):

● CI-gated re-review hold — not a formal review state.

Current head de6e879d538e309eca3d4fc1f7952aa10af90243 is still red: lint-pr-body failed on the latest PR-body edit, while unit/integration/CodeQL are green. I verified the failed job log. The current agent-pr-body-lint.yml still requires the visible anchors including FAIR-band: and a Resolves #N close-target.

The semantic direction is right: the body no longer claims to resolve #12450 and now says this PR delivers Layer 3 only. But that cannot pass the current agent PR body contract because agent PRs must resolve a delivered leaf. So the remaining fix is not a code/test issue; it is the close-target substrate: create/use a narrow Layer-3 leaf ticket, put newline-isolated Resolves #<leaf>, and keep Related: #12450 for the broader Layers 1–2 ticket. Until #12471 lands on dev, keep the FAIR-band: line as well because the base workflow still requires it.

Once the current head is body-lint green, I can do the actual follow-up review of the code/test deltas.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Request Changes

Cycle: Cycle 2 follow-up / re-review

Opening: Follow-up on my prior CHANGES_REQUESTED review: the code/test blockers are resolved, but the close-target substrate is still unsafe because GitHub still sees #12450 as a closing issue.

Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Request Changes
  • Rationale: The implementation and targeted tests now satisfy the Layer-3 access-policy fix, but merge would still risk closing the broad symptom ticket #12450. This is a metadata blocker only; it should be a small PR-body correction.

Prior Review Anchor

Delta Scope

  • Files changed: test/playwright/unit/ai/services/memory-core/SummaryService.TenantIsolation.spec.mjs; PR body / close-target metadata; new narrow issue #12473
  • PR body / close-target changes: partially fixed. #12473 exists and matches the delivered access-policy layer, but closingIssuesReferences still includes #12450.
  • Branch freshness / merge state: current head is green in CI and checked out locally; PR remains open with prior CHANGES_REQUESTED state.

Previous Required Actions Audit

  • Addressed: Update SummaryService.TenantIsolation.spec.mjs so memorySharing:'team' asserts own + shared + untagged commons and excludes another tenant's private record — evidence: updated test at the team-policy case; local targeted run 16/16 green.
  • Addressed: Reconcile the close-target by creating/using a narrower target for the Layer-3 access-policy work — evidence: #12473 exists with a matching Contract Ledger and ACs.
  • Still open: Ensure #12450 is not a closing reference — evidence: live gh pr view 12470 --json closingIssuesReferences returns both #12450 and #12473. The likely source is the PR-body phrase does NOT close #12450; GitHub parses the close keyword despite the negation.
  • Partially addressed: Update PR body ## Deltas from ticket and evidence text — the semantic explanation is now right, but the close-target syntax still needs the mechanical cleanup below.
  • Addressed: Re-run targeted tests and wait for CI green — evidence: live gh pr checks 12470 green; local npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/memory-core/SummaryService.TenantIsolation.spec.mjs passed 16/16; node --check ai/services/memory-core/SummaryService.mjs passed.

Delta Depth Floor

  • Delta challenge: The PR body is semantically trying to say #12450 stays open, but the exact words still contain a magic close target. For GitHub auto-close semantics, negation is not a guard; does NOT close #12450 still includes close #12450.

Close-Target Audit

  • Findings: Fail until PR body cleanup. Current closingIssuesReferences includes #12450 and #12473. #12473 is valid and not epic-labeled. #12450 is also not epic-labeled, but it is semantically invalid as a close target because this PR explicitly leaves #12450 Layers 1–2 open. Also, the Resolves #12473 reference is prose-embedded in a bold sentence rather than newline-isolated.

Required shape:

Resolves #12473
Refs #12450

Then avoid any phrase matching a close keyword near #12450, including close #12450, closes #12450, resolve #12450, or resolves #12450. Use wording like keeps #12450 open or non-closing reference to #12450 instead.

Contract Completeness Audit

  • Findings: Pass for the intended close target #12473. #12473 now contains the Layer-3 access-policy Contract Ledger for query_summaries / list_summaries under memorySharing:'team', memorySharing:'private', fallback behavior, and evidence. The implemented diff matches that ledger.

Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Changed surface class: code + test + PR metadata
  • Location check: pass — touched test remains under test/playwright/unit/ai/services/memory-core/
  • Related verification run: node --check ai/services/memory-core/SummaryService.mjs passed; npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/memory-core/SummaryService.TenantIsolation.spec.mjs passed 16/16 on exact head de6e879d538e309eca3d4fc1f7952aa10af90243; live gh pr checks 12470 is green.
  • Findings: pass.

Metrics Delta

Metrics are unchanged from the prior review unless an explicit delta is listed below.

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 70 -> 85 — the additive team policy now has a matching narrow ticket and contract; remaining deduction is solely the close-target parser hazard around #12450.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 45 -> 75 — the PR body, #12473, and test now document the corrected invariant, but content is not merge-complete while GitHub still sees #12450 as closing.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 40 -> 90 — targeted local test and live CI pass; 10 points deducted because merge execution remains unsafe until close-target metadata is corrected.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 60 -> 85 — the PR now delivers the Layer-3 access-policy fix against #12473, but cannot satisfy the merge gate until #12450 is removed from closing refs.
  • [IMPACT]: unchanged from prior review at 75 — still a security-sensitive Memory Core availability/tenant-isolation fix, not a new subsystem.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: unchanged from prior review at 60 — small code diff, high cross-substrate review surface.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged from prior review at Heavy Lift — the hard part remains contract alignment across code, tests, ticket, and PR metadata.

Required Actions

To proceed with merging, please address the following:

  • Update the PR body close-target block so Resolves #12473 is newline-isolated and #12450 is only referenced via Refs #12450. Remove/reword the phrase does NOT close #12450 and any other close/resolve/fix keyword adjacent to #12450. Re-run or wait for lint-pr-body, then verify closingIssuesReferences contains #12473 only.

PR Review Follow-Up Summary

Status: Approved

Cycle: Cycle 3 follow-up / re-review

Opening: Follow-up on my prior CHANGES_REQUESTED review: the only remaining close-target blocker is resolved on the current head.

Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: The implementation/test contract was already green in Cycle 2, and the latest PR-body correction now leaves only #12473 in GitHub's close-target parser. The remaining post-restart runtime checks are correctly documented as post-merge validation rather than pre-merge blockers.

Prior Review Anchor

Delta Scope

  • Files changed: no new code delta since Cycle 2; PR body / close-target metadata corrected.
  • PR body / close-target changes: pass — live closingIssuesReferences contains #12473 only; #12450 is now a non-closing reference.
  • Branch freshness / merge state: PR is open against dev; current-head CI is green.

Previous Required Actions Audit

  • Addressed: Update the PR body close-target block so Resolves #12473 is newline-isolated and #12450 is only non-closing — evidence: gh pr view 12470 --json closingIssuesReferences returns only #12473.
  • Addressed: Re-run/wait for lint-pr-body — evidence: gh pr checks 12470 reports lint-pr-body, unit, integration-unified, CodeQL, and related checks passing.

Delta Depth Floor

  • Documented delta search: "I actively checked GitHub's parsed closing refs, the prior #12450 close-keyword hazard, and the current-head CI/test state and found no new concerns."

Conditional Audit Delta

Close-Target Audit

  • Findings: Pass. The intended close target #12473 is open and not epic-labeled (bug, ai, regression), the PR body parser now returns #12473 only, and #12450 remains open as the broader Layer-1/2 symptom ticket. The prior negated close phrase hazard is gone.

Test-Execution & Location Audit

  • Changed surface class: PR body only since the prior Cycle 2 code/test review.
  • Location check: pass — no new/moved files in this delta.
  • Related verification run: Re-used exact-head targeted verification from Cycle 2 and re-ran current checks: node --check ai/services/memory-core/SummaryService.mjs passed; npm run test-unit -- test/playwright/unit/ai/services/memory-core/SummaryService.TenantIsolation.spec.mjs passed 16/16; gh pr checks 12470 is green.
  • Findings: pass.

Contract Completeness Audit

  • Findings: Pass. #12473 now contains the Layer-3 access-policy Contract Ledger for query_summaries / list_summaries, memorySharing:'team', memorySharing:'private', fallback filtering, and evidence. The diff and test assertions match that ledger.

Metrics Delta

Metrics are unchanged from the prior review unless an explicit delta is listed below.

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 85 -> 95 — the remaining deduction is removed because the close-target parser now matches the actual delivered Layer-3 access-policy scope; 5 points remain for the documented post-restart runtime validation.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 75 -> 95 — the PR body, #12473 ledger, and close-target semantics now agree; 5 points deducted only because post-merge validation remains necessarily external to this PR.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 90 -> 95 — current-head CI and targeted local tests are green, and the merge metadata hazard is resolved; 5 points deducted for the unavoidable runtime-restart confirmation after merge.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 85 -> 100 — the PR now fully delivers #12473 without closing #12450.
  • [IMPACT]: unchanged from prior review at 75 — still a security-sensitive Memory Core availability/tenant-isolation fix, not a new subsystem.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: unchanged from prior review at 60 — small code diff, high cross-substrate review surface.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: unchanged from prior review at Heavy Lift — the work's difficulty was contract alignment across code, tests, ticket, and PR metadata.

Required Actions

No required actions — eligible for human merge.
