CI builds have their own artifact identities.
 
 The real Server harness covers SQLite with anonymous loopback, static Bearer, HTTPS with explicit CA/base path, and injected-provider/enforced access. It exercises save/search/exact reads, identity changes, binding revocation, ambiguous writes without replay and Scope pagination. Installed UI checks cover repeated launches preserving the existing editor, late committed-save responses preserving a new Scope draft, explicit connection/Scope selection, clipboard copies, connection isolation, draft cancellation, byte limits and independent Server survival after Desktop exit.
 
-Selecting a compatibility profile does not attest the remote binary identity. Existing `sqlite-1.1.1-v1` / `sqlite-63f918b7-v1` / `sqlite-ab43e3a7-v1` / `sqlite-f1089f4e-v1` selections require explicitly choosing the new profile and rechecking the connection. CLI diagnostics separately verify the registered executable path, digest and exact version.
+Selecting a compatibility profile does not attest the remote binary identity. Existing `sqlite-1.1.1-v1` / `sqlite-63f918b7-v1` / `sqlite-ab43e3a7-v1` / `sqlite-f1089f4e-v1` / `sqlite-6e237568-v1` / `sqlite-legacy-58f7f4f6-v1` selections require explicitly choosing the current profile and rechecking the connection. Desktop reads memories only through Atomic Memory references, so Servers that answer only with Memory entry citations are not qualified. CLI diagnostics separately verify the registered executable path, digest and exact version.
 
-`sqlite-legacy-58f7f4f6-v1` identifies Server sources at `58f7f4f6cbadd698bac35b3fca019d9f48f55b81`, contract digest `9f4ba7b35ecd3b3639af4e648aff84b713a7f30b51d5a4c30c8809aeb8dc8024`, and qualification-wheel digest `7203cf1a98cb9dfd8631e142f7a0f5e74c39845da4fb7d862117a49fa1ef38af`. Its original ten Desktop operations and Legacy Memory protocol were exercised by the native `ConnectionManager` against the isolated built-wheel SQLite Server in all four harness modes: anonymous loopback, Bearer, HTTPS with explicit CA/base path, and injected-provider/enforced access. These checks cover save/search/exact historical citation reads, identity changes, revocation, ambiguous writes without replay, and Scope pagination. The original `sqlite-6e237568-v1` record retains its identities and operations. Current qualification requires explicitly selecting a profile whose recorded contract matches the bundled Desktop contract and rechecking the connection.
+### Atomic Memory protocol qualification
 
-This qualification used macOS 26.2 ARM64, Rust 1.95.0 and Python 3.12.7. An external system Python launcher was used for native process creation because this environment can terminate native subprocesses before their first request. The wheel, native client, fixtures and business assertions were preserved. The real CLI's fixed version, service-status and integration commands were also exercised with an isolated home and PATH; their actual outputs passed the native projections. These checks establish the stated SQLite compatibility and CLI response handling. Windows registered-executable checks, credentials, process containment and installed-package acceptance require their actual Windows CI checks. No remote legacy deployment was tested in this qualification.
+`sqlite-atomic-f702c041-v1` identifies Server sources at `f702c0418d69e3072e1ec2fa657e0df81e8e51b4`, contract digest `5d8bbad951234b05e3174f1b9113e0ffe066ac968abbe53ac2456b2375e406d3`, and qualification-wheel digest `4fe64b868a2e214316a088574d8d4023d9b9679ec42029e2d13502121e6aade9`. The wheel version is `1.2.1.dev78+g77dc6f73b.d20261009`. It was captured at HEAD `77dc6f73b86678221d34a14e2de61dade0ff9db3` with staged tree `d2e9d703877ea707d78191ce0c358112fd69f65f` and a dirty working tree. That tree became the recorded Server commit; all 460 runtime files in the wheel match its sources byte for byte. The runtime source-manifest digest is `e26a4c4581f32b855689e3e0db26b48239f2f6758ab594addc9efc047978390d` (sorted wheel runtime paths and content digests). The OpenAPI contract, project configuration and lock remained unchanged between capture and commit. CI builds have their own wheel identities.
+
+The native `ConnectionManager` exercised the actual isolated built-wheel SQLite Server in four modes: anonymous loopback, static Bearer, HTTPS with explicit CA/base path, and injected-provider/enforced access. All four passed on macOS 26.2 ARM64 with Rust 1.95.0 and Python 3.12.7. Checks covered Atomic Memory save/search/exact Artifact revision reads, identity changes, binding revocation, ambiguous writes without replay, Scope pagination and independent Server survival after client exit. The catalog records the ten operations exercised, including `get_artifact_revision`. The native harness candidate remains separate from the product catalog.
+
+These results establish the stated Server protocol compatibility. Windows credentials, process containment, registered-executable checks and installed-package acceptance for this Atomic profile require their actual Windows CI checks. This protocol record does not establish platform or release acceptance.

+`ScopedAtomicMemoryApplication.create()` writes explicit memories in one all-or-nothing batch and returns one record per
+input. Source-based extraction follows a separate path: capture Sources, then call `flush()` to process the pending
+Source window with the configured extraction pipeline. `cursor()` reports the processed Source position.
 
-The result contains the new immutable Memory reference and the changed entry. Use its citation for later mutations:
+Every memory changes independently. `forget()` deactivates one memory and `merge()` replaces several memories with a
+new one. `forget()` takes the expected content revision and state version, and `merge()` takes the exact records read
+by the caller, so a stale caller fails instead of overwriting a concurrent change. `restore()` applies the token
+returned by `preview_restoration()`:

 ```
 
-`retire()` marks an entry inactive without deleting immutable content. `changes()` returns compact revision changes.
-Expected revisions and citations preserve optimistic concurrency without requiring callers to rebuild references.
-
-## Capacity and tombstone compaction
+`list()` pages memories by state, and `get()` reads one memory, optionally at an exact revision.
 
-`await runtime.memory.for_scope(scope_id).capacity()` reports the current head's active entries, total manifest
-entries, exact canonical content bytes, eligible tombstones, budget, and exceeded dimensions. The direct service
-method `await service.capacity(memory)` measures the exact Revision supplied. Remote callers use
-`POST /v1/memory/capacity` with `{"scope_id": "project-alpha"}`, or
-`PowerContextClient.get_memory_capacity(GetMemoryCapacityRequest(scope_id="project-alpha"))`.
-A Scope without a Memory returns 404; reading capacity does not create one.
-MCP exposes the same read as `get_memory_capacity`, with read-only and idempotent annotations.
-Tombstone eligibility can load complete manifests across the configured recovery window (10 Revisions by default),
-in addition to reading the target Revision. Read and decode cost scales with their combined size. Use this operation
-for explicit capacity inspection, not frequent polling; it is not a constant-cost counter.
+## Search
 
-`RuntimeConfig` supplies deployment-wide defaults:
-
-| Setting | Default |
-| --- | --- |
-| `memory_max_active_entries` | 5,000 |
-| `memory_max_manifest_entries` | 10,000 |
-| `memory_max_manifest_bytes` | 4,194,304 |
-| `memory_compaction_enabled` | `False` |
-| `memory_compaction_min_tombstone_revisions` | 10 |
-| `memory_max_history_revisions` | 100 |
-
-The capacity defaults bound growth of each Revision; they do not guarantee append latency or cap total database size.
-Retained historical manifests keep accumulating. Tune deployment budgets against representative backend measurements.
-
-Active-entry limits cannot exceed manifest-entry limits. Explicit writes, extraction, and generic Artifact management
-share the budget. A write is refused only when it exceeds a limit and increases that dimension relative to the base.
-The deterministic priority is bytes, manifest entries, then active entries. HTTP returns
-`409 memory_capacity_exceeded` with `dimension`, `limit`, and `observed`; the rejected write persists no content.
-`manifest_bytes` includes the complete canonical Revision content, including its changes and reasons.
-
-`forget()` and `organize()` remain available over budget. `reactivate()` checks active-entry growth only.
-Compaction removes aged, untagged inactive entries from the current manifest. Set
-`RuntimeConfig(memory_compaction_enabled=True)` when constructing the Runtime to permit explicit in-process commits.
-This flag does not schedule or automatically trigger compaction. Call the scoped Runtime entry point to preview and
-commit, using the preview's Revision to reject a head that has changed:
+SQLite and OceanBase both initialize a full-text index, so either database can search without an embedding model:
 
 ```python
-scoped = runtime.memory.for_scope(scope_id)
-preview = await scoped.compact(dry_run=True, limit=100)
-result = await scoped.compact(limit=100, expected_revision=preview.memory.revision)
+result = await runtime.atomic_memory.for_scope("project-alpha").search("composition root", mode="text")
 ```
 
-Direct service callers can construct `MemoryService` with `MemoryCompactionPolicy(enabled=True)` and call
-`service.compact(memory, ...)` against an exact Memory Revision. No HTTP, MCP, or CLI compaction operation is provided.
-
-A preview works while compaction is disabled and writes no Revision. Eligibility counts completed Revision advances:
-an entry deactivated at Revision 2 qualifies at Revision 12 with the default age of 10. Reactivation and a subsequent
-deactivation restart the window. Only this recent window is read. No-op maintenance does not advance the Revision;
-if every tombstone is too recent, explicitly configure `memory_compaction_min_tombstone_revisions=0` (or
-`MemoryCompactionPolicy(enabled=True, min_tombstone_revisions=0)`) to preview and compact immediately. Zero bypasses
-only the recovery window: active entries and tagged tombstones remain protected. Keep the default window unless
-immediate recovery is needed, because a compacted entry cannot be reactivated.
-Tags protect inactive entries; a tag added during compaction aborts the transaction with
-`CapabilityNotSupportedError("compaction-tag-conflict")` so the caller can preview again.
-
-Compaction preserves all entry bodies, prior Revisions, and exact citations. A removed entry cannot be reactivated or
-listed in the current manifest. Each removal records the additive `compact` change operation; update consumers that
-exhaustively enumerate change operations before enabling compaction. Compaction is available in process only.
-`reclaimed_bytes` is the signed difference between complete canonical contents. New audit records or a long reason
-can outweigh a small directory reduction; subsequent revisions no longer carry those compaction records.
-
-`MemoryService.revisions(memory, since_revision=0, through_revision=None)` reads the interval
-`(since_revision, through_revision]`, defaulting to the current head as the upper bound. It refuses intervals longer
-than `memory_max_history_revisions` with `CapabilityNotSupportedError("history-window")` before expanding them.
-For example, `through_revision=1` still reads the first Revision of a Memory with more than 100 Revisions, and
-`since_revision=100, through_revision=200` reads its next 100. Results are never silently truncated.
-The default 100 Revisions can already contain about 400 MiB of
-canonical content near the 4 MiB budget, before object overhead. This is a read fan-out bound, not a hard memory limit;
-lowered budgets and relief operations can leave Revisions above the byte budget. Increase the configurable history
-limit only when the caller can afford the complete snapshots. This bound does not paginate `entries()` or `changes()`.

+title: Migrate to Atomic Memory
+---
+
+Existing Memory collections require an offline conversion to independent `atomic-memory` artifacts.
+The versioned task `powercontext.memory.v1-to-atomic-memory.v1` freezes the legacy content format,
+identity rules, version chains and import encoding. It connects using deployment settings without starting
+a Runtime or Worker. After migration, legacy Memory collections exist only in the offline archive table
+`pc_memory_artifact_archive`; they leave the public Artifact tables, search and every online read path.
+Normal service startup runs only a light residual check: no legacy collection or lineage to one remains in the
+public tables, the legacy entry tables no longer reference them, and the public tables no longer declare the
+legacy `memory_citations` columns. It reads neither the archive nor the
+legacy entry tables; complete per-entry verification is the job of `verify`.
+
+## Run the maintenance task
+
+Inspect the read-only plan with the new deployment's configuration:
+
+```shell
+powercontext server atomic-memory-migrate --action plan --env-file .env
+```
+
+The JSON output includes `counts`, `errors`, `ready` and a Source/processing snapshot digest.
+`pending_entries` counts identities still requiring conversion. A valid plan with pending entries has
+`ready: false`. The scan includes every Scope and legacy container, all collection and entry revisions,
+inactive entries and compacted entries.
+
+For SQLite, plan and verify require an existing persistent database. Filesystem URLs and SQLite file URIs
+are opened with `mode=ro`; the commands only configure connection settings and do not create directories,
+initialize schema or change the database's journal mode. Missing or unreadable paths fail explicitly.
+Process-memory and temporary databases, including `:memory:`, file URIs with `mode=memory` and empty
+file URIs, are rejected. Inspection ignores `immutable` and `nolock` URI options to retain normal locking
+and committed WAL visibility. SQLite's WAL coordination can use or create `-wal` and `-shm` sidecars.
+
+Back up the database. Stop all old APIs, hosts and Workers, disable their automatic restart, and pause
+Source input, manual writes and explicit triggers. The confirmation flag attests to these external
+conditions; the command cannot stop external processes. Then run:
+
+```shell
+powercontext server atomic-memory-migrate --action apply --env-file .env --maintenance-confirmed
+powercontext server atomic-memory-migrate --action verify --env-file .env
+```
+
+Start the new service and resume writes only after verification returns `ready: true`. A vector deployment
+uses its configured embedding service through the normal projection publisher, preparing vectors only for
+current active entries. A deployment without vectors still maintains full-text search. Plan and verify do
+not call the embedding service.
+
+Complete any required [processing scheduling migration](./artifact-processing-migration.md) first.
+Its schema marker establishes scheduling readiness only; Atomic Memory readiness is verified independently.
+
+## Conversion and rejection rules
+
+A fixed UUIDv5 rule derives the new identity from `(scope_id, old_memory_artifact_id, entry_id)`.
+Entry IDs shared by different containers remain distinct. Each new revision equals the old entry version;
+collection revisions caused by other entries do not create extra content revisions.
+
+Validation requires versions continuous from 1, consistent predecessor IDs, content hashes, identities and
+manifest references. The current manifest pointer, or the last pointer before compaction, must identify
+that entry's chain tail. Unexplained absence, missing changes, duplicate identities, skipped versions and
+lagging heads block conversion. Legacy active, inactive and compacted entries become active, forgotten and
+retired respectively. Family state versions and common head governance summaries agree.
+
+A formal Owner on an exact legacy entry resource becomes the new memory's Owner. Without enforced access,
+an entry without an Owner migrates without one. Several Owners on one entry or an invalid Owner block
+conversion. Collection ownership is not distributed to entries. Entry tags become artifact
+tags; collection tags retain their collection meaning. Exact entry bindings keep their original binding ID,
+subject, role, expiry, revocation, grant provenance and idempotency fields while their resource is retargeted.
+Legacy Memory grants without an entry selector are unsupported and block conversion.
+
+Grant creation idempotency receipts include the resource identity. Migration validates the original request
+digest before converting it to the new identity. Replaying the same request and key still returns the same
+binding; changing its subject, role, expiry, reason or resource still conflicts. Revoke and replace receipt
+digests do not contain a resource identity and remain unchanged. Missing receipts, mismatched associations
+or unverifiable digests block migration.
+
+A current custom `memory.extract` Prompt blocks the task. Explicitly set that legacy Prompt to Auto and
+configure `atomic_memory.extract` and `atomic_memory.reconcile` for their new input/output contracts; the
+new Prompts may use Auto. Old Prompt history remains available. Injected legacy CandidatePipeline components
+must be replaced with AtomicMemoryGenerationPipeline. The task does not silently translate custom guidance
+or examples. Unknown cursor/task formats and unresolved legacy Memory candidates also block conversion.
+
+
+The legacy MemoryWriteGate depends on the collection write contract and cannot be injected into Atomic Runtime.
+Enabling `POWERCONTEXT_SERVER_RUNTIME_MEMORY_WRITE_GATE_ENABLED` or injecting an old gate is rejected during
+construction. Legacy capacity and compact settings do not constrain Atomic Memory. See
+[configuration](configuration.md#atomic-memory) and [API/SDK compatibility](../workflows/atomic-memory.md#legacy-memory-api-compatibility).
+
+## Archive, legacy references and decisions
+
+Apply runs these steps in order; each can be repeated after an interruption:
+
+1. Each collection's revisions, lineage, head, Owners, tags, grants and grant receipts are written to
+   `pc_memory_artifact_archive`. An existing identical archive is reused; a collection changed after
+   archiving is a conflict and never overwrites the snapshot. Import and verification read that snapshot.
+2. Each entry's version chain is imported. Every imported revision records only that entry's exact Source
+   and non-collection Artifact evidence; revision two and later also reference their imported predecessor.
+3. Exact references to legacy entries become the corresponding Atomic revision. Experience
+   `memory_citations` become lineage ArtifactRefs; Candidate `memory_citations` join `artifact_refs`;
+   `kind: memory` citations in Handoff content and Work Sources, including Handoff receipts, become
+   `kind: artifact`. Handoff lineage and publication digests follow, and recurrence ledger keys are
+   recomputed when a Task Outcome item digest changes.
+4. A relationship to a whole collection has no single Atomic counterpart. Its original location and value
+   are recorded in the referenced collection revision's archived `incoming_references` before it is removed
+   from online lineage, Candidate `artifact_refs`, Task Outcome `produced_artifacts`, and `kind: artifact`
+   citations of a whole collection in Handoff content and Work claims or checks. A Handoff receipt's
+   `unavailable_evidence` records evidence that was unavailable rather than support: its collection references
+   remain unchanged in that field as historical unavailable addresses. Reading the receipt does not query
+   the archive, and these addresses cannot support new requests. Exact entry citations still become Atomic references.
+5. Finished Dream runs move to a historical format: the original request, input manifest and request digest
+   move to `historical_data` and are no longer read as an executable request. Unfinished runs without legacy
+   snapshots drop the empty entry citation field from their request. Request digests are recomputed in the
+   current request format, so retrying the same request with the same idempotency key still replays the run.
+   A request that cited legacy entries cannot be sent again; its run keeps the accepted digest, so reusing its
+   key conflicts.
+6. The retained legacy entry tables are detached from public Artifact rows. While the collections are still
+   public, the import history, current projection, grant conversion and every reference conversion are
+   accepted; any failure stops before a collection is removed.
+7. The lineage owned by every legacy collection is deleted first, then the collections, their heads, tags
+   and Owners, so collections that cite each other never block removal through identifier order. Legacy entry
+   tables stay unused.
+8. The emptied `memory_citations` columns are dropped from `pc_artifacts` and `pc_artifact_candidate_versions`.
+   A final residual check confirms nothing legacy remains public.
+
+If startup reports that public tables still declare `memory_citations`, reference conversion has not finished
+for that database, for example because an interrupted apply had already removed every collection. Keep writers
+stopped and rerun apply with the same configuration; it completes the remaining receipt, Dream and column steps
+and can be repeated.
+
+These conditions block before any data is rewritten and are listed by plan: an unfinished Dream run whose
+pinned inputs this migration changes, including legacy entry citations, legacy collections, and Artifacts or
+Work Sources whose content or lineage is rewritten; a legacy Memory Family Candidate or publication; a
+reference that does not resolve to an exact imported Atomic revision; a Handoff statement or verified Work
+claim or check left without evidence once collection citations are removed; and a Candidate version left
+without any Source or Artifact evidence once its collection references are removed.
+
+Finish unfinished Dream runs that have saved an input manifest in the legacy format before migration,
+even if they selected only Experiences without Memory citations. Their Artifact digests include the empty
+legacy lineage field, so removing it invalidates those snapshots. Queued runs without a saved manifest can
+migrate when their selected inputs are unaffected; current-format snapshots remain usable when their inputs are unchanged.
+
+Candidates left without evidence require a decision file, passed with `--decisions`, that names replacement evidence for each
+blocked Candidate version:
+
+```json
+{
+  "format": "powercontext.atomic-memory-reference-decisions.v1",
+  "decisions": [
+    {
+      "carrier": "candidate",
+      "scope_id": "team-a",
+      "candidate_id": "candidate-1",
+      "version": 1,
+      "field": "artifact_refs",
+      "action": "replace",
+      "artifact_refs": [{"family": "experience", "artifact_id": "exp-1", "revision": 2}]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+```shell
+powercontext server atomic-memory-migrate --action plan --env-file .env --decisions decisions.json
+powercontext server atomic-memory-migrate --action apply --env-file .env --maintenance-confirmed --decisions decisions.json
+```
+
+Only `replace` is supported. Replacement evidence must be existing exact Artifact revisions and cannot be a
+legacy Memory collection. Decisions must match blocked versions one to one; extra or duplicate decisions are
+errors. The original reference is still archived and marked as replaced. After partial or complete success,
+rerun the same command with the same decision file: an applied decision is checked against the Candidate
+version's current replacement evidence, counts as complete when it matches, and conflicts only otherwise.
+
+Historical lineage_only Sources retain their original targets and remain provenance without entering model
+input. The task neither rebinds old Sources nor invents timestamps.
+
+Cursors, CAS generations, high-water marks, pending/flush requests, accepted tasks and scheduling keys remain
+unchanged. Family `memory` and binding `memory-source-window` remain scheduling aliases. Old leases are
+invalidated and their fences advance before maintenance completes. Consumed Sources are not extracted again.
+
+Each entry's history, head, state, Owner, tags, grant conversion and current projection commit together.
+Embedding preparation occurs outside the transaction. Repeat apply with the same configuration after an
+interruption. Existing targets must match the exact imported history; differing data or orphan content/state
+is rejected without overwriting authority. Subsequent revisions or lifecycle changes never cause the task
+to reset a target's head, state or tags.
+
+If a converted binding still has a creation receipt with the legacy resource digest, plan and verify return
+`ready: false` and report `pending_grant_receipts`. Keep the service stopped and repeat apply to repair those
+receipts. `migrated_grant_receipts` reports the number repaired in that run; binding identities, revocation
+state and audit records remain unchanged.
+
+Legacy collections are retained only in the archive table, which has no online read surface. This task does
+not downgrade the database; rollback requires the complete backup from before maintenance. The command
+performs archiving, reference conversion, removal and the column drop itself rather than through the RFC 1771
+migration executor, which currently covers only the four Artifact tables' structure and cannot run data tasks.
+The column drop is not registered as an RFC 1771 schema revision because it is valid only after the reference
+conversion has been accepted. Atomic
+Memory content restoration is a separate operation.
+
+## Rebuild the current search projection
+
+After changing the embedding model, profile, dimension or normalization, or repairing current search data,
+back up the database and stop every API, host and Worker, their automatic restart and all input writes.
+Use the target deployment configuration:
+
+```shell
+powercontext server atomic-memory-rebuild-projection --env-file .env --maintenance-confirmed

+
+This command checks that legacy objects, columns and foreign keys have been removed from public storage and
+that Atomic heads, content and states are valid. It rebuilds only active current rows and removes nonactive
+or orphan current rows. Heads, content revisions, lifecycle states, retained history and Source/processing
+progress keep their exact identities and values. Rebuilding reads neither the archive nor legacy entry tables.
+The offline migration `verify` command checks whether legacy history was imported completely; projection
+rebuilding cannot supply missing history.
+
+Each active body's embedding is prepared outside the write transaction. Before publishing, the command
+locks and rechecks its exact revision, state version and deployment profile, then loads the latest formal
+tags in that transaction. With vectors disabled, it retains body/full-text
+data and clears embedding, profile and input hashes. SQLite refreshes its derived FTS helper using stable
+Scope/Artifact identity tokens, independent of rowids changed by `VACUUM`.
+
+For OceanBase and seekDB, a changed vector dimension first clears the derived vectors, replaces the native
+vector index and reconfigures the current column offline. This DDL can commit independently; keep maintenance
+in force throughout the operation. Matching dimensions still require all active rows to be embedded with
+the target profile. No historical vector cache is retained.
+
+Rows commit separately. An interrupted run can leave a partial projection; repeat the same command while
+writes remain stopped. It prepares every active row again rather than resuming through a progress table.
+`--batch-size` controls identity reads (1–1000, default 100), not a vector-result limit. The JSON report
+includes `profile_fingerprint`, `active_rows`, `obsolete_rows`, `rebuilt_rows`, `removed_rows`,
+`embedding_calls` and `elapsed_ms`. Resume service only after the complete current check returns
+`ready: true` and normal startup verification succeeds. Errors do not silently enable another retrieval mode.
+
+Current bounded vector searches also calculate exact L2 over the eligible current rows. Eligibility is
+applied before ranking and limiting. Complete related-memory enumeration uses the same exact calculation
+without a result limit and returns every qualifying result within its threshold. Work grows with eligible
+row count times vector dimension. The native vector index is provisioned, but these search paths do not
+use ANN; this implementation makes no ANN performance promise or claim of production backend validation.
+
+## Record maintenance costs
+
+Counts report containers, collection revisions, entries, entry versions, lifecycle totals, imported/verified
+entries, `archived_collections`, `removed_collections` and reference conversion counts prefixed `reference_`. Apply's `elapsed_ms` measures time inside the command, not total external downtime. Payload byte
+counts exclude indexes, access records, database pages and replication; record actual coexistence storage
+through database monitoring.
+
+Plan, apply and verify read retained history and Source/task snapshots, materializing those records in
+memory. Read cost and peak memory grow with history. Record read volume, peak memory, embedding calls and
+downtime on a backup copy before scheduling production maintenance. Production scale costs have not been
+established by this implementation. The startup residual check only counts legacy objects in public tables
+and reads no retained history; its cost depends on those tables and the execution plan.
+
+A current table created during development of this branch (with copied read grants or Owner columns) belongs
+to no release and is rejected at initialization. Before migration completes, apply drops and recreates that
+derived table and its report asks for a projection rebuild; after migration, stop writers and run the
+projection rebuild command above. Either way only that derived table is rebuilt from retained authority;
+Artifact history, Family state and grant records are unchanged.

+Restoration previews require an explicit shared signing key. Every process that generates or validates tokens must
+use the same secret and key ID:
+
+| Variable | Default | Meaning |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `POWERCONTEXT_SERVER_RUNTIME_ATOMIC_MEMORY_PREVIEW_SIGNING_SECRET` | unset | Secret of at least 32 characters; without it, previews and token validation return `422 invalid_preview`, while direct restoration remains available |
+| `POWERCONTEXT_SERVER_RUNTIME_ATOMIC_MEMORY_PREVIEW_SIGNING_KEY_ID` | `atomic-memory-v1` | Current key ID, 1–128 characters; deployment configuration loads only this one key |
+| `POWERCONTEXT_SERVER_RUNTIME_ATOMIC_MEMORY_PREVIEW_TTL_SECONDS` | `300` | Preview lifetime, 1–3600 seconds |
+| `POWERCONTEXT_SERVER_RUNTIME_ATOMIC_MEMORY_RESTORE_RETRY_BUDGET` | `3` | Re-read and preparation retries after `atomic_memory_changed` during restoration without a token, 0–10; the default permits the initial attempt plus 3 retries |
+| `POWERCONTEXT_SERVER_RUNTIME_ATOMIC_MEMORY_RELATED_MODE` | `auto` | Related-memory recall during Source processing: `auto`, `fts`, `vector` or `hybrid`; auto selects fts without a profile and hybrid with one |
+| `POWERCONTEXT_SERVER_RUNTIME_ATOMIC_MEMORY_RELATED_MAX_DISTANCE` | `1.0` | Maximum exact L2 distance for complete related-vector enumeration, nonnegative; does not apply to ordinary searches with a limit |
+| `POWERCONTEXT_SERVER_RUNTIME_ATOMIC_MEMORY_RELATED_FTS_FALLBACK` | `false` | Explicitly permit full-text enumeration when the related query vector is unavailable, profiles mismatch or vector projections are incomplete; ordinary search error handling is unchanged |

+| `POWERCONTEXT_SERVER_RUNTIME_ATOMIC_MEMORY_INPUT_TOKENS_LIMIT` | `24000` | Estimated tokens per extraction/comparison input, including instructions and complete input, positive integer |
+
+An unset secret never generates a random process key. Changing the secret or key ID invalidates old tokens; preview
+again. A restoration with a token returns `preview_stale` on changes instead of reinterpreting the intent. The retry
+budget does not replay a write whose commit outcome is unknown after a connection failure.
+
+Source processing generates candidates, then enumerates related active memories satisfying permission, tag and
+retrieval eligibility. Fts enumerates all qualifying matches; vector enumerates all results within its threshold;
+hybrid combines both. Neither comparison batch size nor token budget truncates the total candidates. Oversized
+comparison input reduces the batch until every candidate is processed. A single object or complete extraction input
+that exceeds the budget fails the window without partial publication or cursor advancement. Fallback changes recall
+evidence and requires an explicit choice; by default errors retain the window for diagnosis and retry.
+
+Atomic Memory has no legacy collection capacity budget or compact operation. `MEMORY_MAX_ACTIVE_ENTRIES`,
+`MEMORY_MAX_MANIFEST_ENTRIES`, `MEMORY_MAX_MANIFEST_BYTES` and `MEMORY_COMPACTION_*` settings remain parseable but do not
+limit new memories or enable compaction. The legacy MemoryWriteGate collection contract is unsupported by the Atomic
+Runtime; enabling `MEMORY_WRITE_GATE_ENABLED` or injecting an old gate is rejected explicitly.
+The existing limit of 32 tags per Artifact still applies. If merged input tags exceed it, the whole merge fails;
+Source processing also retains the window without partial publication or cursor advancement.

+title: Use Atomic Memory
+description: Create, search, revise and restore independent memories, and adapt legacy Memory API clients.
+---
+
+Atomic Memory stores each fact, preference or decision as an independent `atomic-memory` Artifact. Content revisions
+are immutable; the current lifecycle is stored separately. Explicit creation and replacement need no generation model.
+With Embedding configured, publication also prepares the current search vector. Existing collection databases require
+[offline migration](../operate/atomic-memory-migration.md) first.
+
+## Create, read and replace
+
+In these HTTP examples, `S` is an existing Scope ID and `M` is the Artifact ID returned by creation. Send
+`Content-Type: application/json` and the deployment's Bearer token when authentication is enabled.
+
+Submit to `POST /v1/scopes/S/artifacts`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "family": "atomic-memory",
+  "content": {
+    "schema": "powercontext.atomic-memory.v1",
+    "kind": "decision",
+    "text": "Keep the public API asynchronous."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The server assigns the identity, creates revision 1 and returns the content `ETag`. `kind` is an application-defined
+name of at most 128 characters. New writes normalize `text` to Unicode NFC and trim surrounding whitespace; the
+result must be nonempty and fit within 8192 UTF-8 bytes. Existing content and historical revisions remain unchanged
+when read. Restoring a revision preserves its original text without applying the normalization rules for new writes.
+Ordinary writes do not accept merge metadata named `creation`.
+
+`GET /v1/scopes/S/artifacts/atomic-memory/M` reads the current content and `ETag`.
+`GET /v1/scopes/S/artifacts/atomic-memory/M/revisions/1` always reads that exact historical revision.
+Use `/v1/scopes/S/artifacts/atomic-memory/M/revisions` to list content history.
+
+Submit complete content to `PUT /v1/scopes/S/artifacts/atomic-memory/M`, sending the content `ETag` just read in `If-Match`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "content": {
+    "kind": "decision",
+    "text": "Keep the public API asynchronous and provide a separate internal synchronous adapter."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Success creates the next content revision. Missing `If-Match` returns `428 precondition_required`; a stale value
+returns `412 revision_conflict`. Read and reconcile the content before submitting again.
+
+## Current state and forgetting
+
+`GET /v1/scopes/S/artifacts/atomic-memory/M/state` returns the current exact `artifact` reference, `state`,
+`state_version` and `merged_into_id`. Its ETag includes both content revision and state version and supports
+`If-None-Match` with `304`. Content replacement still uses the ETag from the content read.
+
+| State | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `active` | Included in ordinary search and context recall |
+| `forgotten` | Content and history remain available; it can be restored |
+| `merged` | Frozen as a merge input; `merged_into_id` identifies the result |
+| `retired` | No longer available for current use; editing and restoration are rejected. Create a new Artifact to adopt its content again |
+
+Forget through `POST /v1/atomic-memory/lifecycle`, copying the exact reference and `state_version` from the state read:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scope_id": "S",
+  "target": {
+    "artifact": {"family": "atomic-memory", "artifact_id": "M", "revision": 2},
+    "state_version": 0
+  },
+  "state": "forgotten"
+}
+```
+
+Replace the example revision and state_version with the values actually read. Forgetting does not advance the content
+revision. Ordinary Replace can edit active or forgotten content and preserves its state. Merged and retired content
+cannot be edited directly. The lifecycle endpoint currently accepts only `forgotten`.
+
+## Search and administrative listing
+
+Submit to `POST /v1/atomic-memory/search`:
+
+```json
+{"scope_id": "S", "query": "public API", "mode": "text", "limit": 10}
+```
+
+`mode` accepts `text`, `vector` or `hybrid` and defaults to `text`. Vector and hybrid modes require an available,
+matching Embedding profile. Search returns active memories only. Each `hits[].memory` contains the content, exact
+Artifact reference and state version; the hit also has `score` and `matched_by`. Preserve `memory.artifact` for citations.
+Ordinary vector search applies eligibility first, computes exact L2, then ranks and limits results. This path does not
+use ANN and does not establish production backend performance or acceptance.
+
+Submit to `POST /v1/atomic-memory/list`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scope_id": "S",
+  "states": ["active", "forgotten", "merged", "retired"],
+  "kind": "decision",
+  "limit": 50
+}
+```
+
+Listing accepts no semantic query. Omitting `states` selects active only. `items` contain current content and state.
+When `next_cursor` is present, continue with that cursor and the same Scope, principal and filters. Search and list
+both accept `kind`, `tags` and `tag_match: "all" | "any"`, with limits of 1–100. Use the
+[Artifact tag API](manage-artifact-tags.md) with `{type: "artifact", family: "atomic-memory", artifact_id: "M"}`
+for new targets.
+
+## Merge and restore
+
+`POST /v1/atomic-memory/merges` requires at least two exact active input references and state versions, plus result content:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scope_id": "S",
+  "inputs": [
+    {"artifact": {"family": "atomic-memory", "artifact_id": "A", "revision": 1}, "state_version": 0},
+    {"artifact": {"family": "atomic-memory", "artifact_id": "B", "revision": 3}, "state_version": 2}
+  ],
+  "content": {"kind": "decision", "text": "The public API is asynchronous; internal adapters may be synchronous."}
+}
+```
+
+The server creates result C and marks A and B merged. Supply additional evidence through `source_refs` and
+`artifact_refs`; the inputs themselves become exact Artifact evidence. Merge and restore authorize every actual
+target. The current principal must own each write target.
+
+Restore directly through `POST /v1/atomic-memory/restorations`:
+
+```json
+{"scope_id": "S", "target": {"artifact_id": "B"}}
+```
+
+Restoring forgotten content makes it active. Restoring an already active memory without a revision returns unchanged.
+Restoring a merged input undoes the later merges that froze it. For A+B→C followed by C+D→E, restoring B makes
+A, B and D active and retires C and E. Ordinary downstream Artifacts and Source cursors are not rolled back.
+Supplying `target.revision` saves that historical content as a new revision of the target.
+
+Inspect the impact first through `POST /v1/atomic-memory/restoration-previews`:
+
+```json
+{"scope_id": "S", "operation": "restore", "target": {"artifact_id": "B", "revision": 3}}
+```
+
+The response contains `preview_token`, `expires_at`, the current chain `endpoint`, proposed `restore` items, exact
+`retire` references and `undo_merge_results`. A preview holds no locks and creates no pending approval record.
+After inspecting it, send the original token to restorations with the same principal, Scope, operation and target:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scope_id": "S",
+  "operation": "restore",
+  "target": {"artifact_id": "B", "revision": 3},
+  "preview_token": "copy the original preview_token here"
+}
+```
+
+Success returns `changed`, exact resulting `restored` references, `retired` and `undo_merge_results`.
+To undo the merge that created C, use `operation: "undo_merge"` and `target: {"artifact_id": "C"}`.
+That operation cannot also select a content revision.
+
+| Error | HTTP status | Action |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `invalid_preview` | 422 | Check the token, principal, Scope, operation, target and shared signing configuration |
+| `preview_expired` | 409 | Preview again |
+| `preview_stale` | 409 | Read the impact and preview again |
+| `invalid_memory_state` | 409 | Do not edit merged content directly or restore retired content |
+| `atomic_memory_changed` | 409 | Read the changed content/state before deciding to retry |
+| `invalid_memory_relation` | 409 | Investigate inconsistent stored relationships |
+
+Restore and merge have no `idempotency_key` or durable receipt for replaying an earlier response. A direct restoration
+interprets the relationships current on each invocation; repeating it after another merge can undo that newer merge.
+Replaying a successful request with a token can return `preview_stale`. If the connection fails during commit, inspect
+current states before deciding to preview again. The Python SDK does not blindly retry writes with an unknown outcome.
+See [configuration](../operate/configuration.md#atomic-memory) for signing keys, TTL and direct restoration retries.
+
+## Legacy Memory API compatibility
+
+Only five legacy Memory routes remain, and the server request layer translates them into Atomic Memory calls.
+Retaining a route does not retain its old response model: results carry real `atomic-memory` ArtifactRefs only, with
+no collection revision, entry_version_id or MemoryCitation.
+
+| Retained call | Behavior and response after upgrade |
+| --- | --- |
+| `entries/get` with an old `target` | Computes the Atomic ID from the old collection and entry IDs and returns the current `AtomicMemoryRecord` |
+| `entries/list` | Returns the Scope's `entries: AtomicMemoryRecord[]` and `next_cursor`; `include_inactive=true` includes all four states |
+| `search` | Runs `fts` as `text` mode and keeps `auto/vector/hybrid` and tag_filter; each hit's `memory` is an AtomicMemoryRecord |
+| `remember` with omitted or null `expected_revision` | Creates independent memories; returns `changed` and `records: AtomicMemoryRecord[]` |
+| `flush` | Runs Atomic Source processing, keeping the existing consumption progress, status and counts; `memory` is null, held_count is 0 and hold_codes is empty |
+
+The following legacy operations are rejected before execution and never read legacy storage:
+
+- `entries/get` with an old `citation`. Read exact history through `ArtifactRef(atomic-memory, artifact_id, revision)`.
+- `remember` with a non-null collection `expected_revision`. Reconstruct the intended concurrency contract with the
+  new API.
+- `entries/revise` and `entries/retire`. Use Atomic Replace or the forgotten lifecycle respectively.
+- `changes`, `capacity` and collection compaction.
+- `family=memory` Create, Replace and collection rollback. Use independent Artifact writes and restoration.
+- Reading or replacing old collection tags, and tag queries that explicitly select the `memory` family or
+  `memory_entry` targets. Default tag queries exclude legacy Memory; migrated entry tags are read and written on the
+  Atomic Artifact target.
+- Access checks and binding creation that use the old `memory_entry` selector.
+
+Unsupported legacy operations return HTTP `422` with `error.code: "legacy_memory_operation_unsupported"`.
+`error.details` contains `operation`, replacement `alternatives` routes and `instruction`, plus `kind` and `name`.
+Alternatives are empty when no replacement operation exists. Clients must not automatically drop collection CAS
+preconditions and retry.
+
+Read the current memory by its old logical identity through `POST /v1/memory/entries/get`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scope_id": "S",
+  "target": {"type": "memory_entry", "family": "memory", "artifact_id": "OLD", "entry_id": "E"}
+}
+```
+
+Within the requested Scope, the server maps the old identity to its Atomic Artifact and reads that head and current
+state. If the original memory is merged, it returns that object's frozen content, merged state and merged_into_id; it
+does not follow the result automatically. Newly created memories use their new Artifact IDs directly.
+
+Python Client methods retain the old names, but `remember_memory` returns `.records`, `search_memory` hits use
+`.memory.artifact`, and `list_memory_entries` returns `.entries` and `.next_cursor`. `get_memory_entry` accepts only the
+target mode and returns an `AtomicMemoryRecord` with `.artifact`. Upgrade the SDK and handle the actual model. Old
+collection `.memory` and citation fields do not apply to new results. Inspect unsupported
+errors through `ServerResponseError.status_code`, `.code` and `.details`.
+New methods include `get_atomic_memory_state`, `list_atomic_memories`, `search_atomic_memory`, `merge_atomic_memories`,
+`change_atomic_memory_lifecycle`, `preview_atomic_memory_restoration` and `restore_atomic_memory`. Use generic Artifact
+Client methods for creation, replacement and exact historical reads.
+
+Search and list require `scope.read`, following the Memory and Topic Memory Scope boundary. An individual
+Artifact share permits its exact get and history reads; it does not grant a Scope inventory or search.
+If Scope read is revoked before reranking or context assembly, the request returns `403` even when an individual share remains.
+Source extraction enumerates the complete same-Scope threshold set owned by its principal, then checks the
+configured authorizer for Artifact read and write before comparing a memory. Denied candidates are skipped;
+authorization failures stop processing. The immutable Owner columns are only an extraction prefilter.
+
+Scope checks using the same database with supported Builtin or Casbin providers share the business snapshot.
+Independent decision stores and custom providers retain their configured read consistency contracts.

+Each legacy entry's complete content history, original direct evidence, and current lifecycle state migrate to Atomic
+Memory. Existing entry tags and Owners are retained. Valid entry sharing grants migrate automatically, preserving
+relationship identities, permissions, and revoked or expired status. Atomic follows the same Owner requirements as
+other Artifacts: migration does not invent Owners when authorization is disabled, and deployments with authorization
+enabled use the shared authorization rules.
+Source processing progress remains valid without re-extracting processed Source. Entries that were recoverable or
+non-reactivatable retain those respective semantics. Current content cannot stand in for missing historical versions.
+
+Exact entry references still used by business operations become Atomic `ArtifactRef` values. They read the specified
+content revision without following the current head. Legacy random version IDs have no online aliases. Clients must
+use the migrated Artifact identity and revision rather than submit legacy `MemoryCitation` values.
+
+Old collection content, snapshots, and necessary metadata leave the online Artifact system for a new dedicated archive
+table. It preserves original data for offline verification and provides no API compatibility. Before removing
+whole-collection evidence from online lineage, the archive records where each reference came from and its association
+with the original collection. Such evidence is not expanded into members or Source, or reinterpreted as a single
+Atomic Memory. This explicitly ends online reading and tracing of old collections; exact entry evidence is still
+converted as described above. The archive does not participate in queries,
+search, or generation and cannot replace an upgrade backup. Rollback, archive retention, and cleanup follow RFC #1771.
+
+If removing whole-collection evidence makes a Handoff, Work, or Candidate record violate existing nonempty-evidence
+constraints, preflight blocks migration unless a maintainer decision file covers every such item. A decision may
+replace the reference with explicit exact `ArtifactRef`s, downgrade a verified Work claim or check to declared, or
+reject a pending Candidate; the original value is archived. This proposal does not introduce historical variants of
+business records to bypass those constraints.
+
+Only five legacy server entry points, `memory.get/list/search/remember/flush`, retain adapters. Memory results use
+Atomic identities and revisions:
+
+- `get` may locate the current Atomic head using the legacy collection ID and entry ID. Exact historical reads use
+  the new `ArtifactRef`.
+- `list` and `search` query Atomic Memory in the Scope using the new model's listing, state, and search semantics.
+- `remember` supports simple creation only, without legacy entry updates, collection revision appends, or evidence
+  referring to old objects.
+- `flush` continues extraction into Atomic Memory using the preserved Source processing progress.
+
+All other legacy entry points explicitly stop accepting the old model. These include generic `family=memory`
+operations, old tag targets and their ETags, old access selectors, collection CAS, and old cursors. Requests cannot be
+accepted by ignoring concurrency preconditions or filters. Clients use Atomic and shared Artifact APIs for reading,
+writing, tags, and authorization, and restart queries and pagination under the new contract. Authorization and execution
+target the same Atomic Memory.
+
+The SDK and runtime do not retain the legacy Memory domain model, `MemoryCitation`, or other legacy typed Memory references.
+Terminal Dream runs with old structures are converted offline into explicit untyped historical data for display only,
+without evidence resolution, execution, or recovery. Historical receipts retain unavailable collection addresses in
+`unavailable_evidence` as descriptions of what was unavailable. These addresses are not resolved or accepted as new evidence;

-容量默认值约束每个版本的增长，不保证追加延迟，也不限制数据库总大小；保留的历史清单仍会持续累积。
-部署时应结合对应后端的代表性测量调整预算。
-
-活跃条目上限不得大于清单条目上限。显式写入、提取和通用 Artifact 管理共用预算。只有某维度既超过上限、又比

-活跃条目和带标签墓碑仍受保护。除非需要立即恢复容量，否则建议保留默认窗口，因为压缩后无法重新激活条目。
-标签会保护非活跃条目；压缩期间新增标签会使整个事务回滚并抛出

+已有 Memory 集合数据库需要停服转换为独立的 `atomic-memory` Artifact。迁移任务为
+`powercontext.memory.v1-to-atomic-memory.v1`；它冻结旧内容格式、版本链、身份规则及导入编码，
+通过现有配置连接数据库，不启动 Runtime 或 Worker。迁移完成后，旧 Memory 集合只保存在离线归档表
+`pc_memory_artifact_archive` 中，不再出现在公共 Artifact 表、检索或任何在线读取路径里。
+普通服务启动只做轻量残留检查：公共表中没有旧集合、没有指向旧集合的 lineage，旧 entry 表到公共表的
+外键已解除，公共表也不再有旧的 `memory_citations` 列。它不读取归档表或旧 entry 表；逐条完整核验由 `verify` 执行。
+
+## 执行顺序
+
+先使用新版部署的配置查看只读计划：
+
+```shell
+powercontext server atomic-memory-migrate --action plan --env-file .env
+```
+
+计划扫描全部 Scope、全部旧 Memory 容器的集合历史与 entry 历史，包括 inactive 和 compact 条目。
+输出为 JSON，包含 `counts`、`errors`、`ready` 与 Source/处理进度快照摘要。
+`pending_entries` 表示尚未转换的逻辑身份；没有错误但仍有待转换条目时，`ready` 为 false。
+
+SQLite 的 plan 和 verify 要求数据库已存在且持久化。普通文件 URL 与 SQLite file URI 都使用
+`mode=ro` 连接；命令只设置连接参数，不创建目录、初始化 schema 或改变数据库的日志模式。
+路径不存在或不可读时明确失败。`:memory:`、`mode=memory` 的 file URI 和空 file URI 等进程内
+或临时数据库会被拒绝。检查连接忽略 URI 中的 `immutable` 和 `nolock`，保持正常锁协调并读取
+WAL 中已提交的数据。SQLite 的 WAL 协调可能使用或创建 `-wal`、`-shm` 辅助文件。
+
+备份数据库，停止全部旧 API、宿主、Worker 及其自动重启，暂停 Source 输入、手工写入和显式触发。
+维护确认参数表示操作者已经完成这些条件；命令不会停止外部进程。随后执行：
+
+```shell
+powercontext server atomic-memory-migrate --action apply --env-file .env --maintenance-confirmed
+powercontext server atomic-memory-migrate --action verify --env-file .env
+```
+
+只有 `verify` 返回 `ready: true` 后才能启动新版服务、恢复写入和后台处理。使用有向量的部署配置时，
+apply 按正常投影发布流程调用配置的 embedding 服务；只为当前 active 条目准备向量。
+无向量配置仍创建和更新全文索引。plan 和 verify 不调用 embedding 服务。
+
+如果处理调度 schema 尚未完成其自身升级，应先按
+[Artifact 后台处理状态迁移](./artifact-processing-migration.md)完成该任务。
+它的完成标记只证明处理调度 schema；Atomic Memory 通过自己的历史和导入对象核验就绪条件。
+
+## 转换规则与阻断条件
+
+新身份由 `(scope_id, old_memory_artifact_id, entry_id)` 通过固定 UUIDv5 规则生成。
+不同容器使用相同 entry_id 不会共用新身份。新 revision 等于旧 entry 的 version；其他条目导致的集合
+revision 不会产生该条记忆的新 revision。
+
+导入检查版本从 1 连续增长、前驱指针、内容摘要、精确身份和集合 manifest 的引用。
+当前 manifest 或 compact 前最后一次出现的指针必须指向本 entry 的版本链末端。
+缺失变化记录、无法解释的缺席、重复身份、跳过版本或落后的 head 都会阻断；迁移不会选取最大版本
+来掩盖不一致。旧 active、inactive、compact 分别成为 active、forgotten、retired。
+状态版本计数与公共 head 的治理摘要同步。
+
+旧 entry 的精确资源身份上有正式 Owner 时，它迁为新记忆的 Owner；未启用鉴权的部署中没有 Owner 的
+entry 迁移后同样没有 Owner。同一 entry 有多个 Owner 或 Owner 不合法时会阻断，集合 Owner 不会分配给
+所有新记忆。entry 标签迁为新 Artifact 标签；集合标签保留集合含义。
+共享按精确 entry 资源转换，保留原 binding_id、主体、角色、有效期、撤销信息、授权来源和幂等字段。
+不带 entry selector 的旧 Memory 授权不是当前支持的共享格式，会明确阻断。
+
+创建授权的幂等回执包含资源身份，迁移时会核对原请求摘要，并将其转换为新身份对应的摘要。
+原请求使用相同幂等键重试时仍返回同一条授权；更换主体、角色、有效期、理由或资源会继续报冲突。
+撤销和替换授权的回执不含资源身份，保持原值。回执缺失、关联不符或摘要无法核实时会阻断迁移。
+
+当前为 custom 的旧 `memory.extract` Prompt 会阻断。操作者需要明确将旧 Prompt 当前模式设置为 Auto，
+并按新输入和输出契约配置 `atomic_memory.extract`、`atomic_memory.reconcile`；新 Prompt 可使用 Auto。
+旧 Prompt 历史继续保留。旧的自定义 CandidatePipeline 需要改为 AtomicMemoryGenerationPipeline。
+迁移不会将自定义指导或样例默认为新默认值。未知 cursor 或持久任务字段，以及未处理的旧 Memory
+candidate，也会阻断，必须先按原契约明确处置。
+
+
+旧 MemoryWriteGate 依赖集合写入契约，不能注入 Atomic Runtime；开启
+`POWERCONTEXT_SERVER_RUNTIME_MEMORY_WRITE_GATE_ENABLED` 或注入旧 gate 会明确拒绝构造。容量与 compact 旧配置
+不约束 Atomic Memory；配置边界见[配置选项](configuration.md#atomic-memory)，接口和 SDK 适配见
+[使用 Atomic Memory](../workflows/atomic-memory.md#旧-memory-api-兼容)。
+
+## 归档、旧引用转换与决策文件
+
+apply 按以下顺序执行，每一步都可以在中断后重复：
+
+1. 逐个集合把全部 revision、lineage、head、Owner、标签、授权及授权回执写入
+   `pc_memory_artifact_archive`。已归档且内容一致的集合直接复用原快照；归档后集合又发生变化时报冲突，
+   不覆盖快照。之后的导入和核验都读取这份快照。
+2. 导入每条 entry 的版本链。每个导入 revision 只记录这条 entry 自己的精确 Source 和非集合 Artifact
+   依据；第二个及后续 revision 还引用同一新 Artifact 的前一个 revision。
+3. 把指向旧 entry 的精确引用改为对应的 Atomic revision：Experience 的 `memory_citations` 转为
+   lineage 中的 ArtifactRef；Candidate 的 `memory_citations` 并入 `artifact_refs`；Handoff 正文、
+   Work Source（包括 Handoff 回执）中 `kind: memory` 的 citation 改为 `kind: artifact`，
+   Handoff 的 lineage 和发布摘要随之更新；Task Outcome 条目摘要变化时，同步重算 recurrence 账本的键。
+4. 指向整个旧集合的关系没有单条 Atomic 对应。迁移先把它的原位置和原值记入被引用集合 revision 的
+   归档 `incoming_references`，再从在线 lineage、Candidate `artifact_refs`、Task Outcome
+   `produced_artifacts`，以及 Handoff 正文和 Work claim/check 中以 `kind: artifact` 引用整个集合的
+   citation 中移除。Handoff 回执的 `unavailable_evidence` 记录当时不可用的证据，不表达支持关系：
+   其中的集合地址在原字段中保留原值，只描述历史上不可用的对象。读取回执不查归档，
+   这些地址不能作为新请求的有效依据；精确 entry citation 仍转换为对应的 Atomic 引用。
+5. 已结束的 Dream 运行改为历史格式：原请求、输入清单和请求摘要移入 `historical_data`，
+   不再作为可执行请求读取。没有旧格式快照的未结束运行从请求中删除空的旧 entry 引用字段。请求摘要按当前请求
+   格式重算，用同一幂等键重试相同请求仍会重放原运行。引用过旧 entry 的请求无法再次提交，其运行保留原摘要，
+   复用该幂等键会冲突。
+6. 解除保留的旧 entry 表到公共 Artifact 表的外键，然后在旧集合仍在公共表时完整验收：导入历史、
+   当前投影、授权转换以及全部引用转换都必须通过，否则不删除任何集合。
+7. 先删除所有旧集合自身的 lineage，再删除公共表中的旧集合、集合 head、标签和 Owner，集合之间的
+   相互引用不会因标识排序阻断清理。旧 entry 表保留但不再使用。
+8. 从 `pc_artifacts` 和 `pc_artifact_candidate_versions` 删除已清空的 `memory_citations` 列。
+   最后检查公共表中没有残留。
+
+如果启动时报告公共表仍有 `memory_citations` 列，说明该数据库的引用转换尚未完成，例如中断前的 apply
+已经移除了全部集合。保持停服，用相同配置再次执行 apply，它会补完回执、Dream 和删列步骤，可以重复执行。
+
+以下情况在改写任何数据前阻断，并在 plan 中列出：未结束的 Dream 运行固定的输入会被本次迁移改变，
+包括旧 entry citation、旧集合，以及正文或 lineage 将被改写的 Artifact 和 Work Source；
+旧 Memory Family 的 Candidate 或发布记录；引用无法对应到导入后的精确 Atomic revision；
+Handoff 陈述或 verified 的 Work claim/check 移除集合引用后不再有证据；
+某个 Candidate 版本删除集合引用后没有任何 Source 或 Artifact 依据。
+
+已经保存旧格式输入清单的未结束 Dream，需要先运行完成再迁移，即使它只选择了没有 Memory 引用的
+Experience。旧 Artifact 摘要包含空的旧 lineage 字段，删除该字段也会使快照失效。尚未保存输入清单的
+排队任务，在所选输入不受影响时可以迁移；已经使用当前格式保存的快照，在输入不变时仍可继续使用。
+
+如果 Candidate 失去了全部依据，操作者需要通过 `--decisions` 提供决策文件，为每个被阻断的版本指定替代依据：
+
+```json
+{
+  "format": "powercontext.atomic-memory-reference-decisions.v1",
+  "decisions": [
+    {
+      "carrier": "candidate",
+      "scope_id": "team-a",
+      "candidate_id": "candidate-1",
+      "version": 1,
+      "field": "artifact_refs",
+      "action": "replace",
+      "artifact_refs": [{"family": "experience", "artifact_id": "exp-1", "revision": 2}]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+```shell
+powercontext server atomic-memory-migrate --action plan --env-file .env --decisions decisions.json
+powercontext server atomic-memory-migrate --action apply --env-file .env --maintenance-confirmed --decisions decisions.json
+```
+
+当前只支持 `replace`。替代依据必须是已存在的精确 Artifact revision，不能是旧 Memory 集合；
+决策必须一一对应被阻断的版本，多余或重复的决策同样报错。原引用仍记入归档，并标明使用了替代依据。
+部分成功后或全部完成后，可以用同一命令和同一决策文件重跑：已生效的决策按 Candidate 版本当前的
+替代依据核对，一致即视为完成，不一致才报冲突。
+
+旧 lineage_only Source 保留原目标，仍可溯源但不进入模型输入。迁移不改变旧 Source 的绑定，
+也不生成替代历史时间。
+
+Source Cursor、CAS generation、高水位、pending/flush 请求、已接受任务和旧调度键保持原值。
+`memory` Family 与 `memory-source-window` binding 继续作为调度兼容身份。
+迁移完成前失效旧 Lease 并推进 fence，已消费的 Source 不重新抽取。
+
+每条记忆的历史、head、状态、Owner、标签、授权转换与当前投影在同一个事务提交。
+向量准备在事务外完成。中途退出后，可以使用相同配置重复 apply；已提交对象先核验精确导入历史。
+与确定性身份对应的内容不同、存在孤立状态或历史时明确报错，不覆盖目标数据。
+已经导入的对象后续产生新 revision 或生命周期变化时，迁移不回退其 head、状态或标签。
+
+如果已转换的授权仍保留旧资源摘要，plan 和 verify 会返回 `ready: false`，并在
+`pending_grant_receipts` 中报告待修复数量。保持停服，重复 apply 即可修复这些回执；
+`migrated_grant_receipts` 报告本次修复数量，授权身份、撤销状态和审计记录保持不变。
+
+旧集合只保存在归档表中，归档表没有在线读取接口。此任务不提供数据库降级；回退数据库应恢复停服升级前的
+完整备份。归档、引用转换、移除旧对象和删除旧列由本命令自己执行，不经过 RFC 1771 的迁移执行器：该执行器
+目前只覆盖四张 Artifact 表的结构，不能运行数据转换任务。删列只有在引用转换验收通过后才成立，因此没有登记为
+RFC 1771 的结构版本。Atomic Memory 内容恢复接口不能替代数据库回退。
+
+## 重建当前检索投影
+
+更换 embedding 模型、profile、维度或归一化方式，或修复当前检索数据时，先备份数据库，停止全部
+API、宿主、Worker、自动重启和输入写入，然后使用目标部署配置执行：
+
+```shell
+powercontext server atomic-memory-rebuild-projection --env-file .env --maintenance-confirmed
+```
+
+命令检查公共表中的旧对象、旧列和外键已清理，且 Atomic 的 head、正文和状态有效。它只重建 active 的
+current 行，清除非 active 或孤立的 current 行；head、正文 revision、生命周期状态、保留历史及
+Source/处理进度保持原身份和原值。重建不读取归档或旧 entry 表；旧历史是否已完整导入，由停服迁移的
+`verify` 负责核验，投影重建不能补做缺失的历史导入。
+
+每条 active 正文在写事务外准备向量。提交前锁定并重新核对精确 revision、state_version 和部署
+profile，再在同一个事务中读取最新正式标签。关闭向量时保留正文与全文检索，
+清除 embedding、profile 和输入摘要。SQLite 的全文辅助索引使用稳定的 Scope/Artifact 身份 token，
+不依赖 `VACUUM` 可能改变的 rowid。
+
+OceanBase 和 seekDB 的向量维度改变时，先在停服状态下清除派生向量、替换原生向量索引并调整
+current 列的维度。该 DDL 可能独立提交，整个过程必须保持维护条件。维度相同但 profile 改变时，
+也会按目标 profile 为全部 active 行重新准备向量；不保留历史向量缓存。
+
+各行分别提交。中断后可能留下部分投影，保持停写并重复执行相同命令即可；重试会重新准备全部
+active 行，不使用进度表续跑。`--batch-size` 控制每批读取的身份数量（1–1000，默认 100），不是
+向量结果上限。JSON 输出包含 `profile_fingerprint`、`active_rows`、`obsolete_rows`、`rebuilt_rows`、
+`removed_rows`、`embedding_calls` 和 `elapsed_ms`。完整 current 核验返回 `ready: true`，且普通启动
+检查成功后再恢复服务。错误不会悄悄启用另一种检索模式。
+
+当前有结果上限的普通向量搜索，也会对满足资格的 current 行计算精确 L2；资格过滤先于排序和截断。
+相关记忆完整枚举使用同一精确计算，不设结果上限，返回阈值内全部合格结果。计算量随合格行数与向量
+维度的乘积增长。原生向量索引已配置，但这些路径没有使用 ANN；本实现不承诺 ANN 性能，也不代表
+已完成生产后端验收。
+
+## 资源记录
+
+输出包含集合数、集合历史 revision 数、逻辑 entry 数、entry version 数、各状态数量、已导入和已核验
+数量，以及 `archived_collections`、`removed_collections` 和以 `reference_` 开头的引用转换计数。apply 的 `elapsed_ms` 是命令内转换时长，不能代替外部停服总时长。
+`legacy_collection_payload_bytes` 和 `atomic_content_payload_bytes` 是正文 payload 字节数，不包含索引、
+权限记录、数据库页和复制开销；实际并存空间应由数据库监控记录。
+
+plan、apply 和 verify 读取保留的全部旧历史和 Source/任务快照，首版将这些记录保存在进程内。
+这会随历史规模增加读取量和内存消耗。应在备份副本上记录读量、内存峰值、embedding 调用量和总停服
+时长，再安排正式维护窗口；这里不声称已经验证生产规模成本。普通启动的残留检查只统计公共表中的
+旧对象，不读取旧历史，工作量取决于这些表的数据量和执行计划。
+
+本分支开发过程中创建的 current 表（含读取授权副本或 Owner 列）不属于任何发布版本，初始化时会被
+明确拒绝。迁移尚未完成时，apply 会删除并重建这张派生表，结果报告提示随后执行投影重建；迁移已完成
+时，停服后直接执行上述投影重建命令。两种方式都只重建这张派生表，并从正式记录恢复活跃记忆，
+不改变 Artifact 历史、Family 状态和授权记录。

+{
+  "content": {
+    "kind": "decision",
+    "text": "公开 API 保持异步，内部同步适配器另行提供。"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+成功后正文产生下一条 revision。缺少 `If-Match` 返回 `428 precondition_required`，
+过期返回 `412 revision_conflict`。重新读取并协调正文后再提交。
+
+## 当前状态与遗忘
+
+`GET /v1/scopes/S/artifacts/atomic-memory/M/state` 返回当前精确 `artifact` 引用、`state`、
+`state_version` 和 `merged_into_id`。此接口的 ETag 同时包含正文 revision 和状态版本，
+支持 `If-None-Match` 与 `304`；修订正文仍使用正文读取接口的 ETag。
+
+| 状态 | 含义 |
+| --- | --- |
+| `active` | 参与普通搜索和上下文召回 |
+| `forgotten` | 正文和历史保留，可恢复在役 |
+| `merged` | 作为合并输入被冻结；`merged_into_id` 指向合并结果 |
+| `retired` | 退出当前使用，不能编辑或恢复；如需重新采用正文，应创建新 Artifact |
+
+遗忘使用 `POST /v1/atomic-memory/lifecycle`。将状态读取响应的精确引用和 `state_version` 原样带回：
+
+```json
+{
+  "scope_id": "S",
+  "target": {
+    "artifact": {"family": "atomic-memory", "artifact_id": "M", "revision": 2},
+    "state_version": 0
+  },
+  "state": "forgotten"
+}
+```
+
+示例里的 revision 和 state_version 必须替换为实际读取值。遗忘不增加正文 revision。
+普通 Replace 可修订 active 或 forgotten 正文，并保留其状态；merged、retired 不能直接修订。
+当前 lifecycle 接口只接受 `forgotten`。
+
+## 搜索和管理列表
+
+向 `POST /v1/atomic-memory/search` 提交：
+
+```json
+{"scope_id": "S", "query": "公开 API", "mode": "text", "limit": 10}
+```
+
+`mode` 可选 `text`、`vector`、`hybrid`，默认 `text`。向量和混合模式要求可用且匹配的 Embedding profile。
+搜索只返回 active 记忆，`hits[].memory` 包含正文、精确 Artifact 引用和状态版本；还返回 `score`、
+`matched_by`。引用结果时保留 `memory.artifact`。普通向量搜索在资格过滤后计算精确 L2，再排序和限制条数；
+当前路径不使用 ANN，不能据此推断生产后端性能或验收结果。
+
+向 `POST /v1/atomic-memory/list` 提交：
+
+```json
+{
+  "scope_id": "S",
+  "states": ["active", "forgotten", "merged", "retired"],
+  "kind": "decision",
+  "limit": 50
+}
+```
+
+列表不接受语义查询，未传 `states` 时只列 active。`items` 包含当前正文与状态；有 `next_cursor` 时，
+保持 Scope、主体和过滤条件相同，用该 cursor 继续读取。搜索和列表都支持 `kind`、`tags` 与
+`tag_match: "all" | "any"`，条数范围为 1–100。标签使用
+[Artifact 标签接口](manage-artifact-tags.md)，新目标为 `{type: "artifact", family: "atomic-memory", artifact_id: "M"}`。
+
+## 合并与恢复
+
+`POST /v1/atomic-memory/merges` 至少需要两个 active 输入的精确引用和状态版本，以及结果正文：
+
+```json
+{
+  "scope_id": "S",
+  "inputs": [
+    {"artifact": {"family": "atomic-memory", "artifact_id": "A", "revision": 1}, "state_version": 0},
+    {"artifact": {"family": "atomic-memory", "artifact_id": "B", "revision": 3}, "state_version": 2}
+  ],
+  "content": {"kind": "decision", "text": "公开 API 异步，内部适配器可同步。"}
+}
+```
+
+服务端创建结果 C，将 A、B 设为 merged。额外依据可放入 `source_refs`、`artifact_refs`；
+合并输入本身会成为精确 Artifact 依据。合并与恢复会检查全部实际目标的权限，写入目标须由当前主体拥有。
+
+直接恢复调用 `POST /v1/atomic-memory/restorations`：
+
+```json
+{"scope_id": "S", "target": {"artifact_id": "B"}}
+```
+
+恢复 forgotten 使其重新在役；恢复已经 active 且未指定 revision 的记忆返回未变化。
+恢复 merged 会撤销冻结该目标的后续合并。例如 A+B→C、C+D→E，恢复 B 会让 A、B、D 在役，C、E 退役。
+普通下游 Artifact 和 Source cursor 不随之回滚。指定 `target.revision` 时，将所选历史正文保存为目标的新 revision。
+
+先查看影响范围可调用 `POST /v1/atomic-memory/restoration-previews`：
+
+```json
+{"scope_id": "S", "operation": "restore", "target": {"artifact_id": "B", "revision": 3}}
+```
+
+响应包含 `preview_token`、`expires_at`、当前链终点 `endpoint`、待恢复的 `restore`、待退役的精确引用
+`retire`，以及 `undo_merge_results`。预览不保留锁，也不写入待审批记录。检查结果后，使用同一主体、Scope、
+operation 和 target 向 restorations 提交原 token：
+
+```json
+{
+  "scope_id": "S",
+  "operation": "restore",
+  "target": {"artifact_id": "B", "revision": 3},
+  "preview_token": "复制预览响应中的原值"
+}
+```
+
+成功响应返回 `changed`、恢复后的精确 `restored` 引用、`retired` 和 `undo_merge_results`。
+若要撤销创建结果 C 的合并，改用 `operation: "undo_merge"`、`target: {"artifact_id": "C"}`；
+该操作不能同时指定内容 revision。
+
+| 错误 | HTTP 状态 | 处理 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `invalid_preview` | 422 | 检查 token、主体、Scope、operation、target 及共享签名配置 |
+| `preview_expired` | 409 | 重新预览 |
+| `preview_stale` | 409 | 重新读取影响范围并预览 |
+| `invalid_memory_state` | 409 | 不直接编辑 merged，也不恢复 retired |
+| `atomic_memory_changed` | 409 | 当前内容或状态已变，重新读取后决定是否重试 |
+| `invalid_memory_relation` | 409 | 关系数据不一致，需要排查存储数据 |
+
+恢复与合并没有 `idempotency_key`，不返回某次旧请求的持久回执。不带 token 的恢复按每次调用时的当前关系解释；
+目标后来又被合并，重复请求可能撤销新的合并。携带 token 的成功请求重发也可能返回 `preview_stale`。
+连接在提交时中断，应先读取各对象状态确认结果，再决定是否重新预览。Python SDK 不盲目重试结果未知的写入。
+签名密钥、有效期及直接恢复重试预算见[配置](../operate/configuration.md#atomic-memory)。
+
+## 旧 Memory API 兼容
+
+旧 Memory 路由只保留五个入口，由 server 请求层转换为 Atomic 调用。保留路由不代表旧响应模型仍适用：
+结果只包含真实的 `atomic-memory` ArtifactRef，不分配旧集合版本、entry_version_id 或 MemoryCitation。
+

+| `search` | `fts` 按 `text` 模式执行，`auto/vector/hybrid` 与 tag_filter 保留；每个 hit 的 `memory` 是 AtomicMemoryRecord |
+| `remember` 不传或传 null `expected_revision` | 创建独立记忆；返回 `changed`、`records: AtomicMemoryRecord[]` |
+| `flush` | 运行 Atomic Source 处理，保留原消费进度、status 和计数；`memory` 为 null，held_count 为 0、hold_codes 为空 |
+
+以下旧行为在执行前拒绝，不读取旧存储：
+
+- `entries/get` 传旧 `citation`。精确历史读取使用 `ArtifactRef(atomic-memory, artifact_id, revision)`。
+- `remember` 带非空集合 `expected_revision`。调用方按原并发意图改用新 API。
+- `entries/revise`、`entries/retire`。分别改用 Atomic Replace 和 forgotten lifecycle。
+- `changes`、`capacity` 和集合 compact。
+- `family=memory` 的创建、替换和集合回滚。改用独立 Artifact 写入与恢复。
+- 旧集合标签的读取和替换，以及在标签查询中显式选择 `memory` family 或 `memory_entry` 目标。默认标签查询不包含旧 Memory；
+  迁移后的 entry 标签通过 Atomic Artifact 目标读写。
+- 以旧 `memory_entry` selector 发起的授权检查和 binding 创建。

+不支持的旧操作返回 HTTP `422`、`error.code: "legacy_memory_operation_unsupported"`。
+`error.details` 包含 `operation`、替代 `alternatives` 路由和 `instruction`，并保留 `kind`、`name`。
+无对应操作时 alternatives 为空。客户端不得自动删除旧集合 CAS 前提后重试。
+

+返回原对象的冻结正文、merged 状态及 merged_into_id；不会跳到合并结果。升级后新建的记忆直接使用新 Artifact ID。
+
+Python Client 方法沿用旧名称，但 `remember_memory` 返回 `.records`，`search_memory` 的 hit 使用
+`.memory.artifact`，`list_memory_entries` 返回 `.entries` 和 `.next_cursor`。
+`get_memory_entry` 只接受 target 模式，返回具有 `.artifact` 的 `AtomicMemoryRecord`。
+应升级 SDK 并按实际模型处理；旧集合 `.memory` 和 citation 字段不能用于新结果。

+新入口包括 `get_atomic_memory_state`、`list_atomic_memories`、`search_atomic_memory`、
+`merge_atomic_memories`、`change_atomic_memory_lifecycle`、`preview_atomic_memory_restoration` 和 `restore_atomic_memory`；
+创建、修订与精确历史读取使用通用 Artifact Client 方法。
+
+搜索和列表沿用 Memory、Topic Memory 的 Scope 边界，要求 `scope.read`。单条 Artifact 分享允许
+精确读取和历史读取，不授予整个 Scope 的列表或搜索权限。重排或上下文组装前若 Scope 读取权限已被
+撤销，请求返回 `403`，即使单条分享仍有效。Source 提取会完整枚举同 Scope 中满足阈值、
+属于当前主体的记忆，再由实际配置的授权服务检查 Artifact 读取和写入权限后交给模型比较。明确拒绝的

 For negative recall contracts, replay evidence stores the pre-redaction match verdict rather than the matched text.
 Offline rescoring therefore preserves the live outcome without exposing a configured secret through the replay.
 
+Memory snapshots record each Atomic Memory's exact ArtifactRef, lifecycle state and state version, and its immutable
+revision's direct Sources and Artifact dependencies. Collection follows every list page and reads the listed revision
+even if the current head changes afterwards. Groundedness still checks direct Sources against captured Source IDs;
+Artifact dependencies are retained as lineage and do not by themselves satisfy that check. Offline rescoring also

 The harness does not mirror PowerContext Server, PowerContext Client, Bub, Harbor, or any-llm settings. Each component
 loads its native parameters, and the adapter only forwards the native values needed across the nested-container
 boundary. The Bub plugin uses Bub's Pydantic settings extension and accepts the same fields in the `powercontext`

-# Memory capacity benchmark
-
-This provider-free benchmark appends one entry per Revision at 200, 1,000 and 5,000 entries, then retires 80% of the
-entries, advances the tombstone recovery window, previews and commits compaction, and appends once more. It measures
-canonical bytes, database bytes, mean append latency, the final 100 appends, affected projection rows, and preservation
-of FTS hit identities across compaction. It retains historical manifests and entry bodies.
-
-```bash
-uv run python -m evaluation.performance.memory_capacity --output .artifacts/memory-capacity/run-01/sqlite.json
-uv run python -m evaluation.performance.memory_capacity --backend oceanbase --output .artifacts/memory-capacity/run-01/oceanbase.json
-```
-
-Choose a new run directory for each measurement. Raw JSON, logs, and databases are local acceptance artifacts under the
-Git-ignored `.artifacts/` directory. Attach reviewed results to the relevant PR or CI run and keep reusable methodology
-and concise measurement summaries in this README.
-
-SQLite creates a fresh database beside the output JSON, retained for inspection. Samples checkpoint and truncate the
-WAL; the compaction report also records file bytes after `VACUUM`.
-The full run requires several GB of disk because every historical manifest remains authoritative.
-
-OceanBase requires `POWERCONTEXT_TEST_OCEANBASE_URL` pointing at a disposable test database. It creates a unique Scope;
-reported database bytes cover the entire database, so use an otherwise idle database. The default observation delay is
-30 seconds, adjustable with `--reclamation-delay`. No storage-engine compaction is forced. An unavailable database is
-recorded as `not_run`, never represented as a measured result. No model calls are made on either backend.
-
-OceanBase database bytes sum `OCCUPY_SIZE` from `oceanbase.DBA_OB_TABLE_SPACE_USAGE` for the selected database, including
-its index tables. This measures reported SSTable occupancy, excluding memtables, transaction logs, and preallocated
-cluster files; early samples can be zero before a flush. `information_schema.tables` statistics can remain zero even
-after SSTables occupy space and are not used for this measurement.
-
-`reclaimed_bytes` compares full canonical contents, including the new compaction audit records. The follow-up Revision
-shows the continuing cost of the reduced manifest. Projection rows are counted using the database cursor's affected
-row count; zero-row deletes do not count. FTS and active-head rows are included; immutable entry bodies are separate.
-
-The latency sample is a local calibration, not an SLA. Default budgets remain 5,000 active entries, 10,000 manifest
-entries, and 4 MiB pending deployment-specific latency requirements.
-
-
-## Recorded local SQLite run
-
-Windows, Python 3.11.9, one append per Revision; other repository validation ran concurrently, so these latencies are
-indicative and must not be used as an isolated performance baseline. Byte counts are exact.
-
-| Entries | Canonical bytes | Checkpointed database bytes | Mean append (ms) | Final 100 mean (ms) | Projection rows/append |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| 200 | 44,866 | 5,607,424 | 14.42 | 15.85 | 2 |
-| 1,000 | 223,266 | 114,847,744 | 29.29 | 46.09 | 2 |
-| 5,000 | 1,115,266 | 2,804,195,328 | 116.19 | 217.74 | 2 |
-
-Compaction removed 4,000 tombstones with zero projection writes and preserved the same sentinel search hit. Complete
-canonical content fell from 1,123,307 to 939,091 bytes in the compaction Revision, then to 223,489 bytes on the next
-append. The audit delta accounts for the difference. Database bytes after that append were 2,815,942,656 and after
-`VACUUM` were 2,815,492,096: old manifests still occupy live pages.
-
-## OceanBase validation status
-
-On 2026-09-26, all 13 OceanBase capacity behavior cases passed against OceanBase CE 4.3.5.6 without skips. Another
-67 SQLite, HTTP/API contract, and projection regression checks passed. The complete 5,000-entry scale run and
-compaction cycle also passed locally: 4,000 tombstones were removed, zero projection rows were written by compaction,
-and the sentinel FTS hit identity was preserved.
-
-| Entries | Canonical bytes | Observed database bytes | Mean append (ms) | Final 100 mean (ms) | Projection rows/append |
-| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
-| 200 | 44,866 | 73,706 | 24.69 | 25.94 | 1 |
-| 1,000 | 223,266 | 73,706 | 36.14 | 47.70 | 1 |
-| 5,000 | 1,115,266 | 1,679,697,682 | 99.85 | 180.02 | 1 |
-
-The compaction revision reduced manifest entries from 5,000 to 1,000 and canonical bytes from 1,123,307 to 939,091;
-the follow-up append produced 1,001 entries and 223,489 bytes. Database bytes stayed at 1,770,500,275 during the
-compaction observation window, as historical revisions remain retained.

+An experimental Dify tool plugin with 20 HTTP-backed tools, aligned with the DSH tool catalog. It connects to an independently deployed PowerContext Server; the Server owns domain validation, authorization, storage and generation.
 
 The installable source is [plugin/](plugin/). Runtime dependencies are isolated from the PowerContext Python package and pinned in `uv.lock` and `plugin/requirements.txt`. The plugin runner uses Python 3.12, Dify SDK 0.10.2, httpx 0.28.1 and jsonschema 4.25.1. The repository's supported Python versions are unchanged.

 After changing runtime dependencies, update `uv.lock` and run `generate_requirements.py` without `--check` to regenerate the daemon's packaged pins. The check exports the locked production dependency set with uv and compares the complete file, including platform markers. Declaration generation and SDK validation share the hidden-parameter and Memory-kind policy in `plugin/powercontext_dify/policy.py`.
 
-The generated contract is a closure of the 19 selected operations plus internal Scope resolution and protected Scope retrieval from `openapi/powercontext.yaml`. After an API change, regenerate with `generate_contract.py`, inspect the contract and declaration changes, and rerun the checks. This script does not modify Server models. It also records the JSON-text input parameters used by the adapter.

+The generated contract contains the public HTTP operations used by the 20 selected tools, their Atomic Memory adapter routes, and internal Scope resolution and protected Scope retrieval from `openapi/powercontext.yaml`. Memory tools retain their logical operation IDs while the adapter uses Atomic listing, Artifact content reads/replacement and guarded lifecycle changes. After an API change, regenerate with `generate_contract.py`, inspect the contract and declaration changes, and rerun the checks. This script does not modify Server models. It also records the JSON-text input parameters used by the adapter. Objects, arrays and nullable inputs are strings containing one JSON value; the plugin strictly decodes once and validates fields and complete receipts.
 
 The supported declaration boundary is Dify 1.17.1 with its default `0.6.10-local` daemon. That daemon discards `input_schema`, so JSON-text inputs use valid `string` declarations and retain the full decoded schema in their model-facing descriptions. JSON null is the text `null`; nullable strings include JSON quotes; defaults such as empty reference arrays are the text `[]`. Ordinary scalars keep native declarations. Workflow output schemas explicitly use Draft 7: `$ref` points to the canonical validation schema, while sibling `type`/`properties`/`items` supply the metadata Dify reads directly. This preserves full response values, nullable fields and integer validation while allowing nested variable selection. See the [input and Workflow examples](plugin/README.md).

+Memory tools retain their logical operation IDs. The adapter routes listing to `list_atomic_memories`, Atomic reads to the current or exact historical Artifact endpoint, revision to `replace_artifact`, and forgetting to the Atomic lifecycle endpoint.
+
 Memory kinds are `decision`, `constraint`, `current-state`, `task-outcome`, `next-step` and `agent-note`. Memory text is checked after NFC normalization and trimming and must fit 8192 UTF-8 bytes. Search query length follows its HTTP character limit, with a default/maximum of 8 hits.
 
+Preserve each Atomic Memory record's complete `artifact` and `state_version`. `pc_remember` returns `changed` and `records`. `pc_memory_list` supports state filters and cursor pagination; active entries are the default, while an explicit audit can include `forgotten`, `merged` and `retired`. `pc_memory_state(artifact_id)` returns the current `artifact`, `state`, `state_version` and nullable `merged_into_id`.
+
+For `pc_memory_get`, supply one JSON-encoded Atomic `artifact`; legacy Memory citations are rejected. An Atomic ArtifactRef contains `family=atomic-memory`, `artifact_id` and `revision`. A current read returns the complete `ArtifactRevision`, including `content.kind` and `content.text`, and adds the actual Server content ETag as `etag`. An exact historical read has no current write ETag. To correct Memory, pass the exact current `artifact`, its returned ETag as `if_match`, and complete `kind`/`text` to `pc_memory_revise`. To remove Memory from active search, pass the exact current `artifact` and a nonnegative `state_version` from search, list or `pc_memory_state` to `pc_memory_retire`. This sets recoverable `forgotten` state and preserves history. Conflicts require a fresh read and confirmation that the requested change still applies.
+
 Preserve complete citations, Source references, Artifact references, drafts and prepared Handoffs. Every object, array and nullable input is a **string containing one JSON-encoded value**. Ordinary nonnullable scalars keep their declared types. The parameter description includes the full decoded JSON Schema, and the plugin decodes once and validates against the HTTP contract before sending the request. Do not reconstruct, flatten, truncate or encode an already encoded value again. Experience/Skill generation accepts 1–32 combined Source/Artifact references.
 
 For optional inputs, omit the parameter when unused, or supply the text `null` for an explicit JSON null. A nullable string such as `reason` must include JSON quotes: the parameter text `"理由"` becomes the string `理由`, while `null` becomes null and `"null"` becomes the literal string `null`. The nullable `family` filter uses `"experience"`, `"skill"` or `null`; omission is unfiltered. Empty reference objects and malformed/non-finite JSON are rejected. Native objects/arrays/null are outside this input protocol.

 `data` preserves the complete public HTTP success response. `status` is `success`, `empty`, `error` or `unknown`; `empty` is a successful empty read. `error` includes a safe code/message and, when available, HTTP status and a validated request ID. Raw Server/transport errors and credentials are not emitted.
 
-The six named output variables are `ok`, `operation`, `status`, `data`, `error` and `result`. `result` exposes the successful response as an object with operation-specific fields in the Workflow variable picker: select `result.content` for context, `result.citation` for an exact Memory read, `result.candidate.candidate_id` for candidate lookup, or the complete `result` from Handoff prepare/finalize. Nested objects such as `result.draft` can be expanded without replacing null values in the response. Successful empty reads preserve their response, including nullable context content. On `error` or `unknown`, `result` is `{}`; branch on `ok` before using it, and inspect any partial receipt in `data` for recovery. A successful no-op generation may have `result.candidate=null`; check the operation's status before dereferencing it.

+For example, serialize a complete Atomic `artifact` from search, list or state for `pc_memory_get.artifact`, then pass the returned `result.etag` directly to `pc_memory_revise.if_match`.

 Use `pc_prepare_context(query)` when a task depends on prior work. Its Server-produced context is bounded by the administrator's UTF-8 byte budget. Successful empty context is `status=empty,content=null,content_bytes=0`. An error is not evidence that no Memory exists.
 
-Use `pc_search(query,limit,mode)` for up to eight hits; fts/vector/hybrid/auto availability belongs to the Server. Use `pc_memory_list(include_inactive)` to enumerate entries and `pc_memory_get(citation)` for exact detail. Preserve the complete `memory_ref`, `entry_id` and `entry_version_id`.
+Use `pc_search(query,limit,mode)` for up to eight hits; fts/vector/hybrid/auto availability belongs to the Server. Use `pc_memory_list(include_inactive,states,limit,cursor)` for paginated Atomic Memory inventory. Active entries are the default; include `forgotten`, `merged` and `retired` only when the audit needs them. Preserve each record's complete `artifact` and `state_version`, and copy `next_cursor` unchanged for the next page.
 
-For an authorized explicit save, use `pc_remember(kind,text,...)`. For a correction or retirement, use `pc_memory_revise(citation,kind,text,...)` or `pc_memory_retire(citation,...)` with the exact inspected citation; conflicts require rereading the current state. Supported kinds and limits are in the provider README. No prompt phrase replaces application write controls or Server permissions.
+Use `pc_memory_get(artifact=...)` to read an exact Atomic ArtifactRef containing `family=atomic-memory`, `artifact_id` and `revision`. The current revision returns the complete `ArtifactRevision`, including `content.kind` and `content.text`, and the actual Server content ETag in `etag`. Historical revisions have no current write ETag. Encode the reference once as JSON text. Legacy Memory citations are not accepted.
+
+Use `pc_memory_state(artifact_id)` to inspect the current `artifact`, `state`, `state_version` and nullable `merged_into_id`. Lifecycle states are `active`, `forgotten`, `merged` and `retired`.
+
+For an authorized explicit save, use `pc_remember(kind,text,...)`. Its response contains `changed` and `records`; keep each returned Atomic `artifact` and `state_version`. For a correction, use `pc_memory_revise(artifact,if_match,kind,text)` with the exact current artifact and its content ETag from `pc_memory_get`. For removal from active search, use `pc_memory_retire(artifact,state_version)` with the exact current artifact and a nonnegative state version from search, list or `pc_memory_state`. This sets recoverable `forgotten` state and preserves history. Conflicts require rereading current content/state and checking that the requested change still applies. Supported kinds and limits are in the provider README. No prompt phrase replaces application write controls or Server permissions.
 
 `pc_capture_source(source_id,content,metadata)` stores explicit evidence with a stable caller-selected Source ID. Remove credentials and unrelated sensitive content before capture. Structured metadata remains an object; `origin=dify` is supplied when absent. Capture does not imply Memory extraction or immediate searchability. Keep its exact Source reference for later Handoff or generation. A write timeout has an unknown outcome and must not cause a blind retry.

 ## Parameter and output differences
 
+Memory tools retain their logical operation IDs. The adapter routes `pc_memory_list` to `list_atomic_memories`, Atomic reads to `get_artifact` or `get_artifact_revision`, revisions to `replace_artifact`, and forgetting to `change_atomic_memory_lifecycle`.
+
 The administrator supplies Scope/binding, Server URL/token, context assembly and byte budget. The model supplies only operation-specific fields. Search limit is 8 rather than the HTTP default of 10 and maximum of 50. Memory kind is restricted to the six documented kinds; normalized Memory text is bounded by 8192 UTF-8 bytes. Search query keeps the HTTP character limit. Code indexing and tag filters are outside this provider surface.
 
 Objects, arrays and nullable inputs use strings containing one JSON value. The model-facing parameter description retains the decoded schema through the default daemon's discovery path; the plugin decodes once and validates the public HTTP contract. Nullable strings need JSON quotes, explicit null is the text `null`, and optional unused parameters may be omitted. Unknown fields, malformed/non-finite JSON, empty reference objects and malformed references fail before the operation request. Generation permits a combined 1–32 Source/Artifact references; empty array defaults are encoded as `[]`. Review's explicit family uses the text `"experience"`/`"skill"`; an omitted or JSON-null filter is unfiltered. See [Workflow serialization examples](plugin/README.md).
 
-Success preserves the entire public response, including pagination, citations, statuses, nullable nested objects and exact revision references. Each SDK invocation emits the same envelope as text, JSON and five corresponding named outputs. A sixth named output, `result`, exposes the successful response with traversable operation-specific properties for Workflow selection, including candidate IDs and Handoff drafts; it is `{}` on error/unknown, while `data` retains any partial recovery receipt. Branch on `ok` and the operation's status before dereferencing nullable fields. Empty reads are success; uncertain writes are unknown and are not retried. Responses over the 4 MiB transport cap fail without truncation.
+`pc_memory_get` accepts one `artifact`, encoded as one complete JSON value. An Atomic `artifact` has `family=atomic-memory`, `artifact_id` and `revision`. A current read returns the complete `ArtifactRevision`, including `content.kind` and `content.text`, and exposes the actual Server content ETag as `etag`. An exact historical read has no current write ETag. Legacy Memory citations are rejected before any request is sent. `pc_memory_revise` requires the exact current `artifact`, that returned ETag as `if_match`, and complete `kind`/`text`. `pc_memory_retire` requires the exact current `artifact` and a nonnegative `state_version` from search, list or `pc_memory_state`; it sets `forgotten` and preserves history. Conflicts require rereading current state and checking that the requested change still applies.
+
+`pc_memory_state(artifact_id)` returns `artifact`, `state`, `state_version` and nullable `merged_into_id`. States are `active`, `forgotten`, `merged` and `retired`. `pc_remember` returns `changed` and `records`; Atomic records carry their exact `artifact` and `state_version`.

 ## Evidence
 
-The HTTP acceptance scenario calls all 19 registered SDK entries against a real PowerContext HTTP/SQLite Server, with deterministic Handoff/Experience/Skill generators. It validates exact Memory read/revise/retire, Source references, complete temporary and committed Handoff readback, candidate inspection, administrator approval outside the plugin, and exact Experience/Skill readback. A separate scenario overlaps SDK greenlets with two Scope configurations. A third applies Dify 1.17.1's actual casting before SDK/HTTP invocation and verifies nullable Handoff/generation inputs and candidate readback. Official frontend helpers resolve 15 context, citation, Handoff and candidate selectors from the generated metadata.
+The recorded 2026-10-07 acceptance covers the 19-tool baseline against a real PowerContext HTTP/SQLite Server, with deterministic Handoff/Experience/Skill generators. It covers Source references, complete temporary and committed Handoff readback, candidate inspection, administrator approval outside the plugin, exact Experience/Skill readback, SDK concurrency across two Scopes, and official Dify casting and output-selector helpers. Its Memory checks use legacy citations. See [ACCEPTANCE.md](ACCEPTANCE.md) for the exact counts and package checksum; that record does not establish acceptance for the current 20-tool Atomic Memory surface.
 
-This establishes SDK and HTTP behavior. Dify daemon dispatch, UI credential storage/restart, live generation, Workflow node object wiring, trusted write controls and clean package installation require the deployment acceptance recorded in [ACCEPTANCE.md](ACCEPTANCE.md).

-hit object.

-For example, first write a memory entry and then search for it:

+Run each mutation with the current returned reference; these example commands are alternatives. Revision reads the
+current content ETag and submits `If-Match`. Public manual content edits compare content revision only; they do not
+compare lifecycle state versions. Active and forgotten records can be edited; merged and retired records cannot.
+`retire` is the retained host command name for reversible forgetting, checked against both the actual Artifact
+reference and its captured `state_version`. Refresh and inspect after a conflict before retrying.
 
-`retire` is a logical retirement; it removes the entry from active memory but
-keeps its history. Because every memory mutation advances the artifact
-revision, do not reuse this citation after `revise` or another write. Search
-again and use the newest citation before the next `get`, `revise`, or `retire`.

 ## Search and inventory
 
-- `search_memory`: provide the resolved `scope_id` and a focused `query`. Usually use `mode: "auto"` and `limit: 8`. Use returned hits; a missing hit does not prove the information never existed. Supported modes are `auto`, `fts`, `vector`, and `hybrid`, subject to the current tool schema and deployment capabilities.
-- `list_memory_entries`: use for explicit inventory or audit requests. Read active entries by default; set `include_inactive: true` only when the user asks for retired history.
-- `get_memory_entry`: supply the complete `citation` to read an exact historical version. A citation contains `memory_ref`, `entry_id`, and `entry_version_id`; `memory_ref` contains `family`, `artifact_id`, and `revision`.
-- `search_topic_memory`: search topic summaries in the current Scope and use returned Artifact references for detailed reads.
-- `get_topic_memory`: pass the exact Artifact reference in `artifact`, not the Memory `citation` field.
-
-Preserve an empty search result. If keywords need refinement, keep the same question and Scope. Do not automatically search other Scopes or enumerate all stored entries.
+- Use `search_memory` with a focused query, `mode: "auto"`, and at most eight results.
+  Current hits contain `memory.artifact`, text, state, and `state_version`; they do not contain legacy entry citations.
+- Use `list_atomic_memories` for requested inventories, explicit state filters, and `next_cursor` pagination.
+  Default to active memories. Include forgotten, merged, or retired memories only for an explicit audit.
+- Use `get_artifact_revision` with the exact `atomic-memory` ArtifactRef to inspect immutable content and lineage.
+  Use `get_artifact` for current content and `get_atomic_memory_state` for current lifecycle state.
+- `get_memory_entry` only adapts a legacy `target` with `type: "memory_entry"`, `family: "memory"`,
+  the collection's `artifact_id`, and `entry_id` to the migrated Atomic's current content.
+  Legacy citations and collection history are unsupported. Use `get_artifact_revision` with an Atomic ArtifactRef for exact history.
+
+Use `search_topic_memory` and `get_topic_memory` for Topic Memory. Preserve empty search results; an empty result

 ## Explicit memory maintenance
 
-`remember_memory` requires `scope_id`, `kind`, and `text`, with an optional `reason`. Express the requested decision, constraint, current state, or next step so it makes sense independently. Normalized entry text must not exceed 8192 UTF-8 bytes. Do not copy an entire conversation into memory.
+Call `remember_memory` only for an explicit durable save. Keep each memory self-contained and at most 8192 UTF-8 bytes.
+Do not store secrets or whole transcripts. Confirm a write only from its successful response.
 
-Confirm a save only after reading the write response and preserving its reference. Do not substitute `capture_content_source` to obtain a successful result. Supply `expected_revision` only when an exact version is available and a concurrency check is needed; do not guess the current Revision.
+`remember_memory` returns `records` with independent ArtifactRefs. Omit `expected_revision` or pass null;
+legacy collection revision preconditions are unsupported.
 
-To correct or retire an entry:
+For a requested correction, call `get_artifact`, inspect its `artifact`, and pass its exact `etag` as
+`replace_artifact`'s `If-Match`. These MCP tools return `{artifact, etag, status_code}`; a conditional 304 has
+`artifact: null`. Historical `get_artifact_revision` reads return plain Artifact JSON without a current-head ETag.
+For Atomic content, write `schema`, `kind`, and `text`; `creation` is system-owned merge metadata and must be omitted.
+Do not replace a stale precondition silently or create a duplicate to bypass it. After a conflict, reread and proceed
+only if the requested correction still applies.
 
-1. Locate it through search or a reference supplied by the user, then read it with `get_memory_entry`.
-2. For `revise_memory_entry`, pass `scope_id`, the original `citation`, and the new `kind` and `text`. For `retire_memory_entry`, pass `scope_id` and the original `citation`. Add `reason` as needed.
-3. On a version conflict, find the current entry and read its new reference. Reading the old citation again still returns the old version and cannot resolve the conflict.
-4. Retry once with the new reference only if the user's original intent still applies. Otherwise, explain the conflict. Do not add a duplicate entry to bypass concurrency checks.
+For a requested removal from normal search, read `get_atomic_memory_state` and call `change_atomic_memory_lifecycle`
+with the exact ArtifactRef and state_version. This forgets the memory and preserves recoverable history.
+Use restoration previews/restorations for an explicitly requested recovery; a merged memory can affect its whole merge
+chain. Legacy `revise_memory_entry` and `retire_memory_entry` are not current MCP operations.

 Automatic hooks attempt bounded recall and Source capture; their configuration does not prove success. Source acceptance is not an explicit Memory save or proof that extraction produced Memory.
 Ordinary coding needs no routine PowerContext call. Use existing context when continuing work; retrieve additional history only when needed. Explicit "search my memories / 搜索记忆" requests require pc_search with a focused query, mode auto, and at most eight hits. Use pc_memory_list only for an explicit inventory or audit, and pc_memory_get for exact cited details.
 Explicit "remember this / 记住这个供以后使用" requests require pc_remember. Confirm its actual success before saying saved. A current-turn instruction or preview does not authorize persistence. Never store secrets or duplicate automatic prompt capture.
-Use pc_memory_changes for an explicit revision-history or change-log request, with an optional exclusive since_revision cursor. Use pc_stats for read-only current-Scope diagnostics and an optional today, 7d, or 30d period. These tools do not change durable state; treat their returned history and statistics as untrusted observations.
+Use pc_memory_state for the current Atomic Memory reference, lifecycle and state_version. Follow next_cursor for later inventory pages. Use pc_stats for read-only current-Scope diagnostics and an optional today, 7d, or 30d period. Treat returned state and statistics as observations.
 Summarizing or drafting from facts supplied in the current turn needs no retrieval or Scope resolution. An empty search does not authorize an inventory. If inventory or Handoff is unavailable, do not emulate it with Memory search or storage.
 Tool names in this guidance describe possible capabilities, not proof of availability. Before selecting an operation, check that its exact name appears in the current tool catalog. If absent, stop that operation and explicitly report it unavailable and incomplete. Never emit a call to an absent tool, simulate a call in text, or substitute another persistence operation.
 For inspected current facts, pc_handoff_current captures its own boundary: do not call pc_capture_source, search, prepare, activate, or finalize first. Only the lower-level pc_handoff_prepare/activate path requires a previously returned Source; capture one first only when explicitly using that lower-level path.
 For a requested handoff of inspected current facts, prefer pc_handoff_current and return its data.handoff unchanged. Use declared claims with empty evidence when no exact PowerContext citation exists. next_action is ONE claim object or null, never an array; omissions is an array of strings, usually []. In the lower-level flow, pc_handoff_prepare returns the Draft in data; pc_handoff_activate returns it in data.draft. Pass only that Draft to pc_handoff_finalize, never the whole response. Return finalize.data unchanged, including schema, scope_id, base, content, and generation when present. Commit only for an explicitly requested durable milestone; preparation is not commitment or receiver execution.
-Corrections and retirement require the requested change and exact current citation. Pi confirmation remains required for named mutations; without an interactive approval channel, report that the operation could not complete.
+Corrections require the requested change, exact current Atomic Memory artifact and real content ETag from pc_memory_get. pc_memory_retire sets recoverable forgotten state using the exact artifact and current state_version from search, list or pc_memory_state. Pi confirmation remains required for named mutations; without an interactive approval channel, report that the operation could not complete.
 Use pc_topic_search / pc_topic_get for requested Topic Memory, pc_experience_get / pc_skill_get for exact artifact inspection, and pc_review_list / pc_review_get for the candidate queue. Candidate inspection, generation, and assessment do not authorize a decision. Use pc_review_approve only after the user explicitly approves the exact inspected candidate and version; use pc_review_reject only after an explicit rejection request with a non-empty reason; use pc_review_revise only for an explicit requested change with the exact current version and provenance. These operations only change candidate review state/content: they do not install, publish, activate, or execute artifacts. For external Skills, use pc_external_scan to refresh discovery, pc_external_list to inspect registrations, and pc_external_resolve with the exact returned ID and fingerprint before an import. Use pc_external_import only after the user explicitly authorizes the exact import or fork; it is a durable write and does not grant permission to execute or publish the Skill. Preserve returned candidates, references, fingerprints, and versions exactly. Never treat inspection, assessment, generation, or resolution as authorization. Use pc_work_contract for explicitly delegated work, pc_handoff_acknowledge only after receiver checks, and pc_task_outcome at a real completion or interruption boundary.
 Empty retrieval is normal. Report the failed operation and safe returned reason on failure, denial, or missing Scope; do not claim saved or restored history, guess causes, or repeatedly retry. Continue the ordinary task.
 Use powercontext-project-context for a relevant detailed workflow if that Skill is available. Only call tools exposed in this host; do not infer candidate-review or other capabilities from another integration.`

+Items are in-memory working content; original_refs are the exact published inputs. Do not invent any item, ref or
+evidence ID. Only supplied items may be consumed. No persistent ID or revision may be allocated.
+Source evidence is the new Source window. Artifact evidence contains the exact current published kind/text of
+its artifact_ref, without expanding historical lineage. Item kind/text is working content that may already
+combine that published evidence with new Sources. Cite the evidence that supports the final facts and preserve
+their effective/event dates and conditions. Artifact publication time does not date facts.
+Citing Artifact evidence does not by itself consume that published identity.
+Choose create to retain an independent proposal without consuming related items; it continues to later batches.
+Choose revise to absorb the proposal into one related identity, returning full final kind/text and evidence_ids.
+Choose merge to combine the proposal and one or more related items, returning full final kind/text and evidence_ids.
+Multiple existing original_refs require merge; multiple unpublished candidates can merge without creating history.
+Choose noop with one target_id when that item already expresses the proposal, without changing the target content.
+Choose noop with no target only when the candidate is unworthy or unsupported and has no published original_refs.
+Never discard or silently transfer published original_refs during noop. If earlier decisions and a later item both
+represent published identities, use merge to reconcile them. Every create/revise/merge must cite supplied evidence.
+For the same enduring fact (same entity, attribute and applicability), prefer revising a supplied existing identity
+over creating an independent memory, including when its values have different effective dates. Use merge when
+multiple existing identities represent that fact. Express the temporal progression clearly: prior values remain
+historical and late old evidence must not become current. Keep facts that can change independently and genuinely
+different applicability separate. Keep each identity's final decision consistent with previously combined working
+content. Preserve independent historical events, conditions, exceptions and effective dates.

+The input models, hash algorithm, SQL columns and output encoding in this file
+are frozen. Do not substitute today's Memory/Artifact repositories or models:
+old history must retain its original interpretation. The normal projection
+publisher remains the boundary for a deployment's current search format.
+
+Legacy tables remain read-only evidence. Idempotency follows deterministic
+identities and exact imported revisions, not a processing schema marker. Each
+entry commits independently; retry verifies existing content before continuing.
+No old cursor, accepted request, Source, or collection content is rewritten.
