Address Codex review feedback. The previous path-only filter dropped an
implicit protection: get_project_mode() defaults projects missing from
config to CLOUD, so the old mode-based guard skipped stale DB rows that
had been removed from config. With a path-only check, an orphan row with
an absolute path would pass and background sync/watch could still mutate
a directory the user already removed from config (config is the source of
truth) if reconciliation was skipped or failed.
Introduce BasicMemoryConfig.is_locally_syncable(name, path), which
requires both config membership and an absolute path, and use it from
both the background sync selection and the watch cycle so the two paths
cannot diverge. Add direct unit tests for the helper plus an orphan-row
regression test for the watch selection.

A project entry in config.json with an empty path (e.g. `{"path": ""}`)
caused background sync and the watch service to adopt the process cwd as
the project root, injecting Basic Memory frontmatter into unrelated
markdown files.
The existing guards only skipped a project when get_project_mode()
returned CLOUD. But ProjectEntry.mode defaults to LOCAL, so an empty- or
relative-path entry without an explicit mode slipped through, and
Path("") resolves against the current working directory.
Gate local sync and watching on the path itself: any project whose path
is not absolute is excluded, regardless of mode. Legitimate local
projects are always resolved to absolute paths at creation, and cloud
projects with a real local bisync copy keep their absolute path and are
still synced/watched.

Cloud projects with bisync had a split-brain problem: `path` held a cloud
slug while the actual local directory lived in `local_sync_path`. This caused
`bm status` and file sync to fail for bisync'd cloud projects.
Changes:
- Config migration promotes `local_sync_path` → `path` for entries where
`path` is a non-absolute cloud slug
- `ensure_project_paths_exists` skips cloud-only projects with slug paths
- `initialize_file_sync` and watch service now keep cloud projects that have
an absolute local path (bisync copy) instead of skipping all cloud projects
- `sync-setup` and `project add --cloud --local-path` set both `path` and
`local_sync_path` to the local directory
- `sync-setup` creates the project in the local DB for immediate MCP use
- `_get_sync_project` falls back from `local_sync_path` to `path`
- Config load errors now show user-friendly messages instead of stack traces

Add a new config option to enforce frontmatter on markdown sync when missing, writing derived title/type/permalink and updating in-memory metadata before upsert. Add startup warning when this option is combined with disable_permalinks to make precedence explicit. Add config/sync/initialization tests for the new behavior, and stabilize project list CLI integration assertions by forcing a wide terminal in tests to avoid Rich truncation.

MCP server crashes in cloud mode with:
ValueError: DATABASE_URL must be set when using Postgres backend
Root cause: initialize_app() did not check cloud_mode_enabled before
trying to initialize the database. Only ensure_initialization() had
the check. In cloud mode, tenant DBs are per-request via headers,
not via DATABASE_URL environment variable.
Also includes minor formatting fix in telemetry.py.

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)
