Inline comments:
In `@cmd/engram/main_test.go`:
- Around line 489-502: Update TestCmdSaveResolvesConfiguredProjectWithoutFlag to
stub exitFunc with stubExitWithPanic before invoking cmdSave, ensuring fatal
errors become test failures instead of terminating the test process.
In `@cmd/engram/main.go`:
- Line 1042: Add a package-level detectProjectFull variable initialized from
project.DetectProjectFull, then update cmdSave to call detectProjectFull instead
of project.DetectProjectFull so full project detection remains injectable like
cmdSync and cmdProjectsConsolidate.
- Around line 1036-1057: Update the project normalization in the save flow to
retain and report the warning returned by store.NormalizeProject, matching
cmdSync’s existing stderr warning behavior. Ensure the warning is emitted when
normalization changes the supplied project name, while preserving the existing
validation and normalized value used for storage.
- Around line 1065-1071: Update the session ID construction in the manual-save
flow to assign "manual-save-" concatenated with projectName directly, removing
the unreachable default assignment and the projectName empty-check. Preserve the
existing CreateSession call and fatal error handling.
In `@DOCS.md`:
- Around line 200-203: Update the POST /projects/migrate documentation to
include the 8 KB request-body limit, status codes 503, 401, 400, and 200 with
their specified conditions, and the complete successful-response fields: status,
target_project, rescued_observations, rescued_sessions, rescued_prompts,
conflicting_records, skipped_records, journaled_local, and
reconciliation_status.
In `@docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`:
- Line 298: Update printUsage to document POST /projects/migrate separately,
including that it always requires ENGRAM_HTTP_TOKEN and returns 503 when the
token is unset; remove the statement that all routes remain open when
authentication is unset while preserving the other route descriptions.
In `@internal/mcp/mcp.go`:
- Around line 1433-1438: The ownership failures in the storedProject checks
should use the file’s structured error envelope pattern instead of bare
mcp.NewToolResultError messages. Update these branches to call errorWithMeta
with dedicated codes such as project_required and observation_project_mismatch,
preserving the existing messages while supplying available_projects and
actionable hints.
- Around line 1420-1438: In handleUpdate, remove the unconditional
resolved-project comparison involving resolveWriteProject and resolvedProject;
field-only updates must proceed without requiring the current working directory
to match the observation’s stored project. Retain validation that rejects an
explicitly supplied project when the tool supports one, while preserving the
existing stored-project-required check.
In `@internal/server/server.go`:
- Around line 975-983: Rename handleMigrateProject and its primary route from
/projects/migrate to /projects/rescue-ownership to accurately describe the
NULL-owned record rescue operation. Retain /projects/migrate as a deprecated
alias for one release, routing both paths to the renamed handler.
- Around line 1008-1010: Update the notification condition near
enqueueRescuedProjectMutationsTx to call notifyWrite when the mutation result
has either rescued rows or a journaled mutation, including the case where
result.Rescued() is zero and result.Journaled is true.
- Around line 1003-1007: Update RescueNullProjectOwnership and the server
handler to distinguish request-validation failures from transaction or
infrastructure errors: expose and wrap a store-level validation sentinel for
ErrProjectRequired and the record-ID validation cases, classify errors with
errors.Is, retain Bad Request only for validation failures, and return an
appropriate server-error response without exposing driver details for
infrastructure failures.
In `@internal/store/store_test.go`:
- Around line 100-180: Add test coverage for the SessionIDs path of
RescueNullProjectOwnership by seeding a session with project set to NULL,
including legacy NULL directory or timing fields if supported, then rescuing it
and asserting RescuedSessions, the updated sessions.project value, and exactly
one canonical session mutation; preserve existing observation and prompt
assertions.
In `@internal/store/store.go`:
- Around line 5563-5580: Update enqueueMissingLocalMutationTx and its callers so
the returned journaled value is true only when this call creates a new local
mutation, and false when an equivalent canonical pending mutation already
exists. Ensure ProjectRescueResult.Journaled reflects that distinction; if
existing semantics intentionally report whether a mutation is queued regardless
of who created it, revise the ProjectRescueResult.Journaled documentation to
state that clearly.
- Around line 4838-4867: Update rescueNullProjectIDsTx to validate table and
idColumn against an explicit allowlist of supported identifiers before
constructing either SQL statement, and return an error for unsupported values.
Keep the existing rescue, conflict, and skipped behavior unchanged for valid
identifiers.
- Around line 2371-2383: Update the session-project lookup in the current rescue
flow and the corresponding lookups in AddPrompt and AddPromptIfMissing to scan
nullable database values into sql.NullString, then normalize and validate only
the contained string. Preserve ErrProjectRequired for both missing sessions and
NULL or blank project values, while returning other query errors unchanged.

Requesting changes. mem_update ignores MCP DefaultProject and ENGRAM_PROJECT, while CLI save also ignores ENGRAM_PROJECT, so #746 remains unresolved. Rescue can reassign observations without their parent session and sync a blank-owned session. Apply one consistent process override and make dependent-session ownership atomic, with regressions for both override sources and rescue ownership.
…ship Project identity was resolved by a different rule depending on the entry point, so Gentleman-Programming#746 stayed reproducible on two paths: MCP `mem_update` resolved only from cwd, ignoring `MCPConfig.DefaultProject` and `ENGRAM_PROJECT`, and CLI `engram save` ignored `ENGRAM_PROJECT`. Promote the precedence the working paths already use into a single shared rule, `project.ProcessOverride`: an explicit request project wins, then the process override (`engram mcp --project`, then `ENGRAM_PROJECT`), then cwd detection. `mem_update` now takes the MCP config and resolves through `resolveWriteProjectWithProcessOverride`; `cmdSave`, `cmdMCP` and `resolveServeSyncStatusProject` route through the same helper. Ownership rescue could also split a record from its session: it reassigned selected observations and prompts while their parent session kept no owner, and journaled the record ahead of a blank-owned session. Rescue now resolves the dependent session scope first and moves parent-session ownership in the same transaction; a record whose session belongs to another project is reported as conflicting instead of being moved, blank ownership is treated as NULL, and the journal refuses any blank-owned payload. Fixes Gentleman-Programming#746
…king rows Three defects in the project-identity work, all reachable on a database upgraded from the schema where sessions.project was nullable. 1. Legacy sessions became permanently unwritable. Demanding ownership those rows never had made every later write fail: AddObservation, AddPrompt, and AddPromptIfMissing returned ErrProjectRequired, and on the passive-capture path the rejection was swallowed without a trace. Establish ownership forward instead — when the write already resolves a project, its unowned parent session adopts that project in the same transaction, journaled like any other ownership change, so the record and its session agree. That is the invariant the hard gate was reaching for, without the lockout. Adoption is refused only in the genuinely ambiguous case: an unowned session that already parents a record owned by a different project, where claiming it would split that record from its session. 2. The failures were not actionable. Both ownership errors now answer 409 with a code and a remedy naming the exact repair, rather than an opaque 500. 3. The rescue split records from their sessions in the mirror direction. Its session pass claimed every dependent parent session before any record's own ownership was examined, so an unowned session parenting a record owned by another project was moved while the record was left behind. The whole plan — which sessions and which records will move — is now resolved before anything is written, and applied only afterwards. The result also carries Complete and a Blocked list naming every item left behind with its reason, so a partial outcome is no longer indistinguishable from a clean one. GetSession also reads sessions.project as nullable; a legacy NULL row previously failed every caller that inspected the session with a scan error, so even a write carrying an explicit project died before reaching the store. The Pi plugin reports background capture failures on stderr rather than discarding them, so a user whose memories stopped being saved gets a signal.
The only remedy for unowned legacy rows was POST /projects/rescue-ownership, which returns 503 whenever ENGRAM_HTTP_TOKEN is unset — the documented default. A zero-config installation therefore had no reachable in-product repair. Add the same repair as a CLI subcommand that reaches the local store directly, so it needs no running server and no token. Every ownership error raised by the write paths names this command, so the failure carries its own remedy. The command reports how many sessions, observations, and prompts moved and, when anything was left behind, exactly which items and why.
Ownership on legacy sessions is now established forward rather than demanded retroactively, and the repair is reachable without server auth. Document the adoption rule and its one refusal, the two 409 ownership codes and their remedy field, the new engram projects rescue-ownership command, and the rescue response's complete/blocked outcome reporting. The ENGRAM_HTTP_TOKEN default no longer reads as "rescue ownership unavailable": the HTTP route is not served, but the CLI repair always is.
