The previous backfill trigger relied on Alembic revision tracking, but
alembic_version only stores the head revision — intermediate revisions
(like the backfill trigger) are invisible after a multi-step upgrade or
fresh DB creation.
Three changes fix this:
1. Replace Alembic revision check with a simple "entities exist but
embeddings are empty" check that works regardless of migration path
2. Generate embeddings during sync — after FTS indexing, batch-embed all
synced entities at the end of the sync operation
3. Add background backfill at MCP startup for the upgrade path (entities
already exist, no embeddings) without blocking server readiness
Also adds clear startup logging for semantic embedding status so issues
are easy to spot in the logs.
📋 Covers: fresh DB, upgrade from pre-embedding version, db reset,
interrupted backfill

Add is_test_env property to BasicMemoryConfig that checks:
- config.env == "test"
- BASIC_MEMORY_ENV env var is "test"
- PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST is set
Replace duplicated test detection logic in:
- api/app.py
- mcp/server.py
- services/initialization.py
- telemetry.py (disables telemetry during tests)

## Summary
- Add comprehensive documentation to all MCP prompt modules
- Enhance search prompt with detailed contextual output formatting
- Implement consistent logging and docstring patterns across prompt
utilities
- Fix type checking in prompt modules
## Prompts Added/Enhanced
- `search.py`: New formatted output with relevance scores, excerpts, and
next steps
- `recent_activity.py`: Enhanced with better metadata handling and
documentation
- `continue_conversation.py`: Improved context management
## Resources Added/Enhanced
- `ai_assistant_guide`: Resource with description to give to LLM to
understand how to use the tools
## Technical improvements
- Added detailed docstrings to all prompt modules explaining their
purpose and usage
- Enhanced the search prompt with rich contextual output that helps LLMs
understand results
- Created a consistent pattern for formatting output across prompts
- Improved error handling in metadata extraction
- Standardized import organization and naming conventions
- Fixed various type checking issues across the codebase
This PR is part of our ongoing effort to improve the MCP's interaction
quality with LLMs, making the system more helpful and intuitive for AI
assistants to navigate knowledge bases.
