Context
During the stabilization of the Bridge Daemon WAKE delivery mechanism (PR #10423), a persistent cross-process coherence gap was identified.
The Problem
Raw SQLite messages written by the background Bridge Daemon are not immediately visible via standard MCP list_messages / get_message calls in the IDE harness. To read incoming WAKE payload metadata, agents are forced to bypass the MCP API and execute raw SQL queries against the database. This pattern has been consistently reproducible across recent sessions.
The Architectural Reality
The issue likely stems from an in-memory caching layer, SQLite WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) configuration, or a busy_timeout coherence issue between the isolated Bridge Daemon process (writing) and the Memory Core MCP server (reading).
The Fix
- Identify the cache invalidation or WAL syncing mechanism that is failing between the SQLite driver instance in the Daemon and the instance in the MCP server.
- Implement robust cache-invalidation or force a disk read in the
list_messages/get_message MCP tool execution path.
- Validate that messages written externally appear immediately via the standard API without raw SQL fallbacks.
Acceptance Criteria
Out of Scope
- Modifying the A2A messaging protocol schema itself.
- Changing the Bridge Daemon
osascript delivery sequence.
