Root cause of the test_mcp_sse_forces_local KeyError('FORCE_LOCAL') flake
(#940, Python 3.14 leg): the stdio variants of the mcp routing tests invoke
`bm mcp`, which starts a real background auto-update daemon thread before
mcp_server.run (the tests only mock run). That thread hits PyPI and then
rewrites config.json (auto_update_last_checked_at) with an in-place
Path.write_text, which truncates the file before writing. If that write lands
while a later test's CLI invocation is reading config.json (the app callback's
CliContainer.create()), load_config() sees empty/partial JSON and raises
SystemExit. CliRunner.invoke swallows it, the mocked mcp_server.run never
executes, and the test dies with KeyError on env_at_run['FORCE_LOCAL'] —
exactly the observed CI failure shape. Nothing is 3.14-specific; that leg
only shifted the timing.
The same torn write is user-visible in production: the MCP stdio server
re-reads config.json on mtime change and load_config() exits the process on
invalid JSON if it races a CLI save.
Fix: save_basic_memory_config writes a per-process/per-thread sibling temp
file and publishes it with os.replace, so readers always observe either the
old or the new complete document. The regression test injects an interrupted
write and asserts the published config stays untouched; it fails against the
old in-place write.
Test hardening: the stdio routing tests stub run_auto_update so no PyPI call
or config write leaks across tests, and all four transport tests now assert
result.exit_code == 0 so a future pre-run failure surfaces its real error
instead of a KeyError.

Integration regression test for #910: the tags= parameter and the
tag:alpha,beta query shorthand must return the same results for the
same comma string.
Cherry-picked from #918. The validator swap itself (coerce_list ->
parse_tags) landed separately via #932; this carries the remaining
test-only piece with original authorship.

Disable the silently-on semantic embedding stack in default test fixtures and deselect on-demand benchmarks from CI int jobs. int SQLite 337s -> 110s, Postgres unit ~25min -> ~13min.

Adds LiteLLM as a semantic embedding provider, including provider configuration, vector normalization, live-provider evaluation tooling, and documentation for OpenAI, Cohere, Azure Foundry, Azure OpenAI, and NVIDIA NIM-style cases.
Maintainer follow-up on this PR added provider hardening, asymmetric document/query embedding support, dimension-forwarding controls, SQLite/Postgres vector invalidation coverage, and the repeatable live LiteLLM harness.
Verification:
- Full base-repo Tests workflow passed for 3d4e092ceb: https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/actions/runs/27072071785
- Live LiteLLM harness passed locally for OpenAI, Cohere, and Azure Foundry.

The test previously asserted that write_note fails when ConfigManager
has no default_project. With the API fallback, it now correctly
resolves to the database is_default project. Updated the test to
verify this fallback behavior instead of expecting an error.

🔧#640 — LinkResolver selects worst match instead of best
Replace `min(results, key=lambda x: x.score)` with `results[0]`.
Both SQLite and Postgres return results sorted best-first in SQL,
so using `results[0]` is backend-agnostic and correct.
🔧#641 — search_notes output_format="text" returns raw Pydantic model
Add `_format_search_markdown()` that formats SearchResponse as readable
markdown with title, permalink, score, and matched snippet per result.
Update prompts to use `output_format="json"` since they need structured
data for result counting and branching logic.
🔧#642 — metadata_filters with `note_type` key returns empty results
Add `_METADATA_KEY_ALIASES` mapping at the tool level that aliases
`note_type` → `type` before passing metadata_filters to the search query.
The frontmatter field is `type`, not `note_type`.

When append or prepend targets a non-existent note, the tool now
creates the file automatically instead of returning an error. This
eliminates silent failures for plugins (like openclaw) that use
edit_note(append) to build daily conversation notes — on the first
message of each day, the note didn't exist yet.
- find_replace and replace_section still require an existing note
- JSON output now includes `fileCreated: bool` in all responses
- Path traversal security check applied to auto-created directories
- Updated error messages to suggest append/prepend for missing notes
🧪 25 unit tests, 14 MCP integration tests, 10 CLI integration tests — all passing
