+# /beta - Create Beta Release
+
+Create a new beta release using the automated justfile target with quality checks and tagging.
+
+## Usage
+```
+/beta <version>
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `version` (required): Beta version like `v0.13.2b1` or `v0.13.2rc1`
+
+## Implementation
+
+You are an expert release manager for the Basic Memory project. When the user runs `/beta`, execute the following steps:
+
+### Step 1: Pre-flight Validation
+1. Verify version format matches `v\d+\.\d+\.\d+(b\d+|rc\d+)` pattern
+2. Check current git status for uncommitted changes
+3. Verify we're on the `main` branch
+4. Confirm no existing tag with this version
+
+### Step 2: Use Justfile Automation
+Execute the automated beta release process:
+```bash
+just beta <version>
+```
+
+The justfile target handles:
+- ✅ Beta version format validation (supports b1, b2, rc1, etc.)
+- ✅ Git status and branch checks
+- ✅ Quality checks (`just check` - lint, format, type-check, tests)
+- ✅ Version update in `src/basic_memory/__init__.py`
+- ✅ Automatic commit with proper message
+- ✅ Tag creation and pushing to GitHub
+- ✅ Beta release workflow trigger
+
+### Step 3: Monitor Beta Release
+1. Check GitHub Actions workflow starts successfully
+2. Monitor workflow at: https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/actions
+3. Verify PyPI pre-release publication
+4. Test beta installation: `uv tool install basic-memory --pre`
+
+### Step 4: Beta Testing Instructions
+Provide users with beta testing instructions:
+
+```bash
+# Install/upgrade to beta
+uv tool install basic-memory --pre
+
+# Or upgrade existing installation
+uv tool upgrade basic-memory --prerelease=allow
+```
+
+## Version Guidelines
+- **First beta**: `v0.13.2b1` 
+- **Subsequent betas**: `v0.13.2b2`, `v0.13.2b3`, etc.
+- **Release candidates**: `v0.13.2rc1`, `v0.13.2rc2`, etc.
+- **Final release**: `v0.13.2` (use `/release` command)
+
+## Error Handling
+- If `just beta` fails, examine the error output for specific issues
+- If quality checks fail, fix issues and retry
+- If version format is invalid, correct and retry
+- If tag already exists, increment version number
+
+## Success Output
+```
+✅ Beta Release v0.13.2b1 Created Successfully!
+
+🏷️  Tag: v0.13.2b1
+🚀 GitHub Actions: Running
+📦 PyPI: Will be available in ~5 minutes as pre-release
+
+Install/test with:
+uv tool install basic-memory --pre
+
+Monitor release: https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/actions
+```
+
+## Beta Testing Workflow
+1. **Create beta**: Use `/beta v0.13.2b1`
+2. **Test features**: Install and validate new functionality
+3. **Fix issues**: Address bugs found during testing
+4. **Iterate**: Create `v0.13.2b2` if needed
+5. **Release candidate**: Create `v0.13.2rc1` when stable
+6. **Final release**: Use `/release v0.13.2` when ready
+
+## Context
+- Beta releases are pre-releases for testing new features
+- Automatically published to PyPI with pre-release flag
+- Uses the automated justfile target for consistency
+- Version is automatically updated in `__init__.py`
+- Ideal for validating changes before stable release
+- Supports both beta (b1, b2) and release candidate (rc1, rc2) versions

-## OAuth Endpoints
-
-- `GET /authorize` - Authorization endpoint
-- `POST /token` - Token exchange endpoint
-- `GET /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server` - OAuth metadata
-
-## Common Issues
-
-1. **401 Unauthorized**: Make sure you're using the same secret key for both server and client
-2. **404 Not Found**: Use `/authorize` not `/auth/authorize`
-3. **Token Invalid**: Tokens don't persist across server restarts with basic provider

-# Manual Testing Suite for Basic Memory
-
-This document outlines a comprehensive manual testing approach where an AI assistant (Claude) executes real-world usage scenarios using Basic Memory's MCP tools. The unique aspect: **Basic Memory tests itself** - all test observations and results are recorded as notes in a dedicated test project.
-
-## Philosophy
-
-- **Integration over Isolation**: Test the full MCP→API→DB→File stack
-- **Real Usage Patterns**: Creative exploration, not just checklist validation
-- **Self-Documenting**: Use Basic Memory to record all test observations
-- **Living Documentation**: Test results become part of the knowledge base
-
-## Setup Instructions
-
-### 1. Environment Preparation
-
-```bash
-# Ensure latest basic-memory is installed
-pip install --upgrade basic-memory
-
-# Verify MCP server is available
-basic-memory --version
-```
-
-### 2. MCP Integration Setup
-
-**Option A: Claude Desktop Integration**
-```json
-// Add to ~/.config/claude-desktop/claude_desktop_config.json
-// or 
-// .mcp.json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "basic-memory": {
-      "command": "uv",
-      "args": [
-        "--directory",
-        "/Users/phernandez/dev/basicmachines/basic-memory",
-        "run",
-        "src/basic_memory/cli/main.py",
-        "mcp"
-      ]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Option B: Claude Code MCP**
-```bash
-claude mcp add basic-memory basic-memory mcp
-```
-
-### 3. Test Project Creation
-
-During testing, create a dedicated test project:
-```
-- Project name: "basic-memory-testing"
-- Location: ~/basic-memory-testing
-- Purpose: Contains all test observations and results
-```
-
-## Testing Categories
-
-### Phase 1: Core Functionality Validation
-
-**Objective**: Verify all basic operations work correctly
-
-**Test Areas:**
-- [ ] **Note Creation**: Various content types, structures, frontmatter

-# CLI Reference
-
-Basic Memory provides command line tools for managing your knowledge base. This reference covers the available commands and their options.
-
-## Core Commands
-
-### auth (New in v0.13.0)
-
-Manage OAuth authentication for secure remote access:
-
-```bash
-# Test authentication setup
-basic-memory auth test-auth
-
-# Register OAuth client
-basic-memory auth register-client
-```
-
-Supports multiple authentication providers:
-- **Basic Provider**: For development and testing
-- **Supabase Provider**: For production deployments
-- **External Providers**: GitHub, Google integration framework
-
-See [[OAuth Authentication Guide]] for complete setup instructions.
-
-### sync
-
-Keeps files and the knowledge graph in sync:
-
-```bash
-# Basic sync
-basic-memory sync
-
-# Watch for changes
-basic-memory sync --watch
-
-# Show detailed sync information
-basic-memory sync --verbose
-```
-
-Options:
-- `--watch`: Continuously monitor for changes
-- `--verbose`: Show detailed output
-
-**Note**:
-
-As of the v0.12.0 release syncing will occur in real time when the mcp process starts.
-- The real time sync means that it is no longer necessary to run the `basic-memory sync --watch` process in a a terminal to sync changes to the db (so the AI can see them). This will be done automatically.
-
-This behavior can be changed via the config. The config file for Basic Memory is in the home directory under `.basic-memory/config.json`.
-
-To change the properties, set the following values:
-```
- ~/.basic-memory/config.json 
-{
-  "sync_changes": false,
-}
-```
-
-Thanks for using Basic Memory!
-### import (Enhanced in v0.13.0)

-
-> **Important**: You need to install Basic Memory via `uv` or `pip` to use the command line tools, see [[Getting Started with Basic Memory#Installation]].
-
-## Regular Usage
-
-```bash
-# Check status
-basic-memory status
-
-# Import new content
-basic-memory import claude conversations
-
-# Sync changes
-basic-memory sync
-
-# Sync changes continuously
-basic-memory sync --watch
-```
-
-## Maintenance Tasks
-
-```bash
-# Check system status in detail
-basic-memory status --verbose
-
-# Full resync of all files
-basic-memory sync
-
-# Import updates to specific folder
-basic-memory import claude conversations --folder new
-```
-
-
-## Using stdin with Basic Memory's `write_note` Tool
-
-The `write-note` tool supports reading content from standard input (stdin), allowing for more flexible workflows when creating or updating notes in your Basic Memory knowledge base.
-
-### Use Cases
-
-This feature is particularly useful for:
-
-1. **Piping output from other commands** directly into Basic Memory notes
-2. **Creating notes with multi-line content** without having to escape quotes or special characters
-3. **Integrating with AI assistants** like Claude Code that can generate content and pipe it to Basic Memory
-4. **Processing text data** from files or other sources
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-#### Method 1: Using a Pipe
-
-You can pipe content from another command into `write_note`:
-
-```bash
-# Pipe output of a command into a new note
-echo "# My Note\n\nThis is a test note" | basic-memory tool write-note --title "Test Note" --folder "notes"
-
-# Pipe output of a file into a new note
-cat README.md | basic-memory tool write-note --title "Project README" --folder "documentation"
-
-# Process text through other tools before saving as a note
-cat data.txt | grep "important" | basic-memory tool write-note --title "Important Data" --folder "data"
-```
-
-#### Method 2: Using Heredoc Syntax
-
-For multi-line content, you can use heredoc syntax:
-
-```bash
-# Create a note with heredoc
-cat << EOF | basic-memory tool write_note --title "Project Ideas" --folder "projects"
-# Project Ideas for Q2
-
-## AI Integration
-- Improve recommendation engine
-- Add semantic search to product catalog
-
-## Infrastructure
-- Migrate to Kubernetes
-- Implement CI/CD pipeline
-EOF
-```
-
-#### Method 3: Input Redirection
-
-You can redirect input from a file:
-
-```bash
-# Create a note from file content
-basic-memory tool write-note --title "Meeting Notes" --folder "meetings" < meeting_notes.md
-```
-
-## Integration with Claude Code
-
-This feature works well with Claude Code in the terminal:
-
-### cli
-
-In a Claude Code session, let Claude know he can use the basic-memory tools, then he can execute them via the cli:
-
-```
-⏺ Bash(echo "# Test Note from Claude\n\nThis is a test note created by Claude to test the stdin functionality." | basic-memory tool write-note --title "Claude Test Note" --folder "test" --tags "test" --tags "claude")…
-  ⎿  # Created test/Claude Test Note.md (23e00eec)
-     permalink: test/claude-test-note
-
-     ## Tags
-     - test, claude
-
-```
-
-### MCP
-
-Claude code can also now use mcp tools, so it can use any of the basic-memory tool natively. To install basic-memory in Claude Code:
-
-Run
-```
-claude mcp add basic-memory basic-memory mcp
-```
-
-For example: 
-
-```
-➜  ~ claude mcp add basic-memory basic-memory mcp
-Added stdio MCP server basic-memory with command: basic-memory mcp to project config
-➜  ~ claude mcp list
-basic-memory: basic-memory mcp
-```
-
-You can then use the `/mcp` command in the REPL:
-
-```
-/mcp
-  ⎿  MCP Server Status
-
-     • basic-memory: connected
-```
-
-## Version Management (New in v0.13.0)
-
-Basic Memory v0.13.0 introduces automatic version management and multiple installation options:
-
-```bash
-# Stable releases
-pip install basic-memory
-
-# Beta/pre-releases
-pip install basic-memory --pre
-
-# Latest development builds (auto-published)
-pip install basic-memory --pre --force-reinstall
-
-# Check current version
-basic-memory --version
-```
-
-**Version Types:**
-- **Stable**: `0.13.0` (manual git tags)
-- **Beta**: `0.13.0b1` (manual git tags) 
-- **Development**: `0.12.4.dev26+468a22f` (automatic from commits)
-
-## Troubleshooting Common Issues
-
-### Sync Conflicts
-
-If you encounter a file changed during sync error:
-1. Check the file referenced in the error message
-2. Resolve any conflicts manually
-3. Run sync again
-
-### Import Errors
-
-If import fails:
-1. Check that the source file is in the correct format
-2. Verify permissions on the target directory
-3. Use --verbose flag for detailed error information
-
-### Status Issues
-
-If status shows problems:
-1. Note any unresolved relations or warnings
-2. Run a full sync to attempt automatic resolution
-3. Check file permissions if database access errors occur

-# Canvas Visualizations
-
-Basic Memory can create visual knowledge maps using Obsidian's Canvas feature. These visualizations help you understand relationships between concepts, map out processes, and visualize your knowledge structure.
-
-## Creating Canvas Visualizations
-
-Ask Claude to create a visualization by describing what you want to map:
-
-```
-You: "Create a canvas visualization of my project components and their relationships."
-
-You: "Make a concept map showing the main themes from our discussion about climate change."
-
-You: "Can you make a canvas diagram of the perfect pour over method?"
-```
-
-![[Canvas.png]]
-
-## Types of Visualizations
-
-Basic Memory can create several types of visual maps:
-
-### Document Maps
-Visualize connections between your notes and documents
-
-### Concept Maps
-Create visual representations of ideas and their relationships
-
-### Process Diagrams
-Map workflows, sequences, and procedures
-
-### Thematic Analysis
-Organize ideas around central themes
-
-### Relationship Networks
-Show how different entities relate to each other
-
-## Visualization Sources
-
-Claude can create visualizations based on:
-
-### Documents in Your Knowledge Base
-```
-You: "Create a canvas showing the connections between my project planning documents"
-```
-
-### Conversation Content
-```
-You: "Make a canvas visualization of the main points we just discussed"
-```
-
-### Search Results
-```
-You: "Find all my notes about psychology and create a visual map of the concepts"
-```
-
-### Themes and Relationships
-```
-You: "Create a visual map showing how different philosophical schools relate to each other"
-```
-
-## Visualization Workflow
-
-1. **Request a visualization** by describing what you want to see
-2. **Claude creates the canvas file** in your Basic Memory directory
-3. **Open the file in Obsidian** to view the visualization
-4. **Refine the visualization** by asking Claude for adjustments:
-   ```
-   You: "Could you reorganize the canvas to group related components together?"
-   
-   You: "Please add more detail about the connection between these two concepts."
-   ```
-
-## Technical Details
-
-Behind the scenes, Claude:
-
-1. Creates a `.canvas` file in JSON format
-2. Adds nodes for each concept or document
-3. Creates edges to represent relationships
-4. Sets positions for visual clarity
-5. Includes any relevant metadata
-
-The resulting file is fully compatible with Obsidian's Canvas feature and can be edited directly in Obsidian.
-
-## Tips for Effective Visualizations
-
-- **Be specific** about what you want to visualize
-- **Specify the level of detail** you need
-- **Mention the visualization type** you want (concept map, process flow, etc.)
-- **Start simple** and ask for refinements
-- **Provide context** about what documents or concepts to include

-```
-
-### 2. Deploy to Cloud
-
-Options for deployment:
-
-#### Vercel
-```json
-// vercel.json
-{
-  "functions": {
-    "api/mcp.py": {
-      "runtime": "python3.9"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-#### Railway

-CMD ["basic-memory", "mcp", "--transport", "streamable-http"]
-```
-
-### 3. Configure for Organization
-
-For Claude.ai Enterprise:
-
-1. **Admin Setup**:
-   - Go to Organizational Settings
-   - Navigate to Integrations
-   - Add MCP server URL for all users
-   - Configure allowed scopes
-
-2. **User Permissions**:
-   - Users connect individually
-   - Each user has their own auth token
-   - Scopes determine access level
-
-## Security Best Practices
-
-### 1. Use HTTPS
-- Required for OAuth
-- Encrypt all data in transit
-- Use proper SSL certificates
-
-### 2. Implement Scopes
-```bash
-# Configure required scopes
-FASTMCP_AUTH_REQUIRED_SCOPES=read,write
-
-# User-specific scopes
-read: Can search and read notes
-write: Can create and update notes
-admin: Can manage all data
-```
-
-### 3. Token Security
-- Short-lived access tokens (1 hour)
-- Refresh token rotation
-- Secure token storage
-
-### 4. Rate Limiting
-```python
-# In your MCP server
-from fastapi import HTTPException
-from slowapi import Limiter
-
-limiter = Limiter(key_func=get_remote_address)
-
-@app.get("/mcp")
-@limiter.limit("100/minute")
-async def mcp_endpoint():
-    # Handle MCP requests
-```
-
-## Advanced Features
-
-### 1. Custom Tools
-
-Create specialized tools for Claude:
-
-```python
-@mcp.tool()
-async def analyze_notes(topic: str) -> str:
-    """Analyze all notes on a specific topic."""
-    # Search and analyze implementation
-    return analysis
-```
-
-### 2. Context Preservation
-
-Use memory:// URLs to maintain context:
-
-```python
-@mcp.tool()
-async def continue_conversation(memory_url: str) -> str:
-    """Continue from a previous conversation."""
-    context = await build_context(memory_url)
-    return context
-```
-
-### 3. Multi-User Support
-
-With Supabase, each user has isolated data:
-
-```sql
--- Row-level security
-CREATE POLICY "Users see own notes"
-ON notes FOR SELECT
-USING (auth.uid() = user_id);
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Connection Issues
-
-1. **"Failed to connect"**
-   - Verify server is running
-   - Check HTTPS is working
-   - Confirm OAuth is enabled
-
-2. **"Authorization failed"**
-   - Check client credentials
-   - Verify redirect URLs
-   - Review OAuth logs
-
-3. **"No tools available"**
-   - Ensure MCP tools are registered
-   - Check required scopes
-   - Verify transport type
-
-### Debug Mode
-
-Enable detailed logging:
-
-```bash
-# Server side
-export FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
-export LOGURU_LEVEL=DEBUG
-
-# Check logs
-tail -f logs/mcp.log
-```
-
-### Test Connection
-
-```bash
-# Test OAuth flow
-curl https://your-server.com/mcp/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
-
-# Should return OAuth metadata
-{
-  "issuer": "https://your-server.com",
-  "authorization_endpoint": "https://your-server.com/auth/authorize",
-  ...
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Regular Backups**
-   - Export your knowledge base
-   - Use version control
-   - Multiple storage locations
-
-2. **Access Control**
-   - Principle of least privilege
-   - Regular token rotation
-   - Audit access logs
-
-3. **Performance**
-   - Index frequently searched fields
-   - Optimize large knowledge bases
-   - Use caching where appropriate
-
-4. **User Experience**
-   - Clear tool descriptions
-   - Helpful error messages
-   - Quick response times
-
-## Examples
-
-### Creating Notes
-
-```

+# Docker Setup Guide
+
+Basic Memory can be run in Docker containers to provide a consistent, isolated environment for your knowledge management
+system. This is particularly useful for integrating with existing Dockerized MCP servers or for deployment scenarios.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Option 1: Using Pre-built Images (Recommended)
+
+Basic Memory provides pre-built Docker images on GitHub Container Registry that are automatically updated with each release.
+
+1. **Use the official image directly:**
+   ```bash
+   docker run -d \
+     --name basic-memory-server \
+     -p 8000:8000 \
+     -v /path/to/your/obsidian-vault:/app/data:rw \
+     -v basic-memory-config:/root/.basic-memory:rw \
+     ghcr.io/basicmachines-co/basic-memory:latest
+   ```
+
+2. **Or use Docker Compose with the pre-built image:**
+   ```yaml
+   version: '3.8'
+   services:
+     basic-memory:
+       image: ghcr.io/basicmachines-co/basic-memory:latest
+       container_name: basic-memory-server
+       ports:
+         - "8000:8000"
+       volumes:
+         - /path/to/your/obsidian-vault:/app/data:rw
+         - basic-memory-config:/root/.basic-memory:rw
+       environment:
+         - BASIC_MEMORY_DEFAULT_PROJECT=main
+       restart: unless-stopped
+   ```
+
+### Option 2: Using Docker Compose (Building Locally)
+
+1. **Clone the repository:**
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory.git
+   cd basic-memory
+   ```
+
+2. **Update the docker-compose.yml:**
+   Edit the volume mount to point to your Obsidian vault:
+   ```yaml
+   volumes:
+     # Change './obsidian-vault' to your actual directory path
+     - /path/to/your/obsidian-vault:/app/data:rw
+   ```
+
+3. **Start the container:**
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+### Option 3: Using Docker CLI
+
+```bash
+# Build the image
+docker build -t basic-memory .
+
+# Run with volume mounting
+docker run -d \
+  --name basic-memory-server \
+  -v /path/to/your/obsidian-vault:/app/data:rw \
+  -v basic-memory-config:/root/.basic-memory:rw \
+  -e BASIC_MEMORY_DEFAULT_PROJECT=main \
+  basic-memory
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Volume Mounts
+
+Basic Memory requires several volume mounts for proper operation:
+
+1. **Knowledge Directory** (Required):
+   ```yaml
+   - /path/to/your/obsidian-vault:/app/data:rw
+   ```
+   Mount your Obsidian vault or knowledge base directory.
+
+2. **Configuration and Database** (Recommended):
+   ```yaml
+   - basic-memory-config:/root/.basic-memory:rw
+   ```
+   Persistent storage for configuration and SQLite database.
+
+You can edit the basic-memory config.json file located in the /root/.basic-memory/config.json after Basic Memory starts.
+
+3. **Multiple Projects** (Optional):
+   ```yaml
+   - /path/to/project1:/app/data/project1:rw
+   - /path/to/project2:/app/data/project2:rw
+   ```
+
+You can edit the basic-memory config.json file located in the /root/.basic-memory/config.json
+
+## CLI Commands via Docker
+
+You can run Basic Memory CLI commands inside the container using `docker exec`:
+
+### Basic Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check status
+docker exec basic-memory-server basic-memory status
+
+# Sync files
+docker exec basic-memory-server basic-memory sync
+
+# Show help
+docker exec basic-memory-server basic-memory --help
+```
+
+### Managing Projects with Volume Mounts
+
+When using Docker volumes, you'll need to configure projects to point to your mounted directories:
+
+1. **Check current configuration:**
+   ```bash
+   docker exec basic-memory-server cat /root/.basic-memory/config.json
+   ```
+
+2. **Add a project for your mounted volume:**
+   ```bash
+   # If you mounted /path/to/your/vault to /app/data
+   docker exec basic-memory-server basic-memory project create my-vault /app/data
+   
+   # Set it as default
+   docker exec basic-memory-server basic-memory project set-default my-vault
+   ```
+
+3. **Sync the new project:**
+   ```bash
+   docker exec basic-memory-server basic-memory sync
+   ```
+
+### Example: Setting up an Obsidian Vault
+
+If you mounted your Obsidian vault like this in docker-compose.yml:
+```yaml
+volumes:
+  - /Users/yourname/Documents/ObsidianVault:/app/data:rw
+```
+
+Then configure it:
+```bash
+# Create project pointing to mounted vault
+docker exec basic-memory-server basic-memory project create obsidian /app/data
+
+# Set as default
+docker exec basic-memory-server basic-memory project set-default obsidian
+
+# Sync to index all files
+docker exec basic-memory-server basic-memory sync
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Configure Basic Memory using environment variables:
+
+```yaml
+environment:
+
+  # Default project
+  - BASIC_MEMORY_DEFAULT_PROJECT=main
+
+  # Enable real-time sync
+  - BASIC_MEMORY_SYNC_CHANGES=true
+
+  # Logging level
+  - BASIC_MEMORY_LOG_LEVEL=INFO
+
+  # Sync delay in milliseconds
+  - BASIC_MEMORY_SYNC_DELAY=1000
+```
+
+## File Permissions
+
+### Linux/macOS
+
+Ensure your knowledge directories have proper permissions:
+
+```bash
+# Make directories readable/writable
+chmod -R 755 /path/to/your/obsidian-vault
+
+# If using specific user/group
+chown -R $USER:$USER /path/to/your/obsidian-vault
+```
+
+### Windows
+
+When using Docker Desktop on Windows, ensure the directories are shared:
+
+1. Open Docker Desktop
+2. Go to Settings → Resources → File Sharing
+3. Add your knowledge directory path
+4. Apply & Restart
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **File Watching Not Working:**
+    - Ensure volume mounts are read-write (`:rw`)
+    - Check directory permissions
+    - On Linux, may need to increase inotify limits:
+      ```bash
+      echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
+      sudo sysctl -p
+      ```
+
+2. **Configuration Not Persisting:**
+    - Use named volumes for `/root/.basic-memory`
+    - Check volume mount permissions
+
+3. **Network Connectivity:**
+    - For HTTP transport, ensure port 8000 is exposed
+    - Check firewall settings
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Run with debug logging:
+
+```yaml
+environment:
+  - BASIC_MEMORY_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
+```
+
+View logs:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose logs -f basic-memory
+```
+
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Docker Security:**
+   The container runs as root for simplicity. For production, consider additional security measures.
+
+2. **Volume Permissions:**
+   Ensure mounted directories have appropriate permissions and don't expose sensitive data.
+
+3. **Network Security:**
+   If using HTTP transport, consider using reverse proxy with SSL/TLS and authentication if the endpoint is available on
+   a network.
+
+4. **IMPORTANT:** The HTTP endpoints have no authorization. They should not be exposed on a public network.  
+
+## Integration Examples
+
+### Claude Desktop with Docker
+
+The recommended way to connect Claude Desktop to the containerized Basic Memory is using `mcp-proxy`, which converts the HTTP transport to STDIO that Claude Desktop expects:
+
+1. **Start the Docker container:**
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+2. **Configure Claude Desktop** to use mcp-proxy:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "mcpServers": {
+       "basic-memory": {
+         "command": "uvx",
+         "args": [
+           "mcp-proxy",
+           "http://localhost:8000/mcp"
+         ]
+       }
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+
+## Support
+
+For Docker-specific issues:
+
+1. Check the [troubleshooting section](#troubleshooting) above
+2. Review container logs: `docker-compose logs basic-memory`
+3. Verify volume mounts: `docker inspect basic-memory-server`
+4. Test file permissions: `docker exec basic-memory-server ls -la /root`
+
+For general Basic Memory support, see the main [README](../README.md)
+and [documentation](https://memory.basicmachines.co/).
+
+## GitHub Container Registry Images
+
+### Available Images
+
+Pre-built Docker images are available on GitHub Container Registry at [`ghcr.io/basicmachines-co/basic-memory`](https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/pkgs/container/basic-memory).
+
+**Supported architectures:**
+- `linux/amd64` (Intel/AMD x64)
+- `linux/arm64` (ARM64, including Apple Silicon)
+
+**Available tags:**
+- `latest` - Latest stable release
+- `v0.13.8`, `v0.13.7`, etc. - Specific version tags
+- `v0.13`, `v0.12`, etc. - Major.minor tags
+
+### Automated Builds
+
+Docker images are automatically built and published when new releases are tagged:
+
+1. **Release Process:** When a git tag matching `v*` (e.g., `v0.13.8`) is pushed, the CI workflow automatically:
+   - Builds multi-platform Docker images
+   - Pushes to GitHub Container Registry with appropriate tags
+   - Uses native GitHub integration for seamless publishing
+
+2. **CI/CD Pipeline:** The Docker workflow includes:
+   - Multi-platform builds (AMD64 and ARM64)
+   - Layer caching for faster builds
+   - Automatic tagging with semantic versioning
+   - Security scanning and optimization
+
+### Setup Requirements (For Maintainers)
+
+GitHub Container Registry integration is automatic for this repository:
+
+1. **No external setup required** - GHCR is natively integrated with GitHub
+2. **Automatic permissions** - Uses `GITHUB_TOKEN` with `packages: write` permission
+3. **Public by default** - Images are automatically public for public repositories
+
+The Docker CI workflow (`.github/workflows/docker.yml`) handles everything automatically when version tags are pushed.

-# Getting Started with Basic Memory
-
-This guide will help you install Basic Memory, configure it with Claude Desktop, and create your first knowledge notes
-through conversations.
-
-Basic Memory uses the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) (MCP) to connect with LLMs.
-It can be used with any service that supports the MCP, but Claude Desktop works especially well.
-
-## Installation
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-The easiest way to install basic memory is via `uv`. See the [uv installation guide](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).
-
-### 1. Install Basic Memory
-
-**v0.13.0 offers multiple installation options:**
-
-```bash
-# Stable release (recommended)
-uv tool install basic-memory
-# or: pip install basic-memory
-
-# Beta releases (new features, testing)
-pip install basic-memory --pre
-
-# Development builds (latest changes)
-pip install basic-memory --pre --force-reinstall
-```
-
-**Version Information:**
-- **Stable**: Latest tested release (e.g., `0.13.0`)
-- **Beta**: Pre-release versions (e.g., `0.13.0b1`) 
-- **Development**: Auto-published from git commits (e.g., `0.12.4.dev26+468a22f`)
-
-> **Important**: You need to install Basic Memory using one of the commands above to use the command line tools.
-
-Using `uv tool install` will install the basic-memory package in a standalone virtual environment. See the [UV docs](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/tools/) for more info.
-
-### 2. Configure Claude Desktop
-
-Edit your Claude Desktop config, located at `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "basic-memory": {
-      "command": "uvx",
-      "args": [
-        "basic-memory",
-        "mcp"
-      ]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Restart Claude Desktop**. You should see Basic Memory tools available in the "tools" menu in Claude Desktop (the little hammer icon in the bottom-right corner of the chat interface). Click it to view available tools.
-#### Fix Path to uv
-
-If you get an error that says `ENOENT` , this most likely means Claude Desktop could not find your `uv` installation. Make sure that you have `uv` installed per the instructions above, then:
-
-**Step 1: Find the absolute path to uvx**
-
-Open Terminal and run:
-
-```bash
-which uvx
-```
-
-This will show you the full path (e.g., `/Users/yourusername/.cargo/bin/uvx`).
-
-**Step 2: Edit Claude Desktop Configuration**
-
-Edit the Claude Desktop config:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "basic-memory": {
-      "command": "/absolute/path/to/uvx",
-      "args": [
-        "basic-memory",
-        "mcp"
-      ]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Replace `/absolute/path/to/uvx` with the actual path you found in Step 1.
-
-**Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop**
-
-Close and reopen Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect.
-
-### 3. Sync changes in real time
-
-> **Note**: The service will sync changes from your project directory in real time so they available for the AI assistant. 
-
-To disable realtime sync, you can update the config. See [[CLI Reference#sync]].
-### 4. Staying Updated
-
-To update Basic Memory when new versions are released:
-
-```bash
-# Update stable release
-uv tool upgrade basic-memory 
-# or: pip install --upgrade basic-memory
-
-# Update to latest beta (v0.13.0)
-pip install --upgrade basic-memory --pre
-
-# Get latest development build
-pip install --upgrade basic-memory --pre --force-reinstall
-```
-
-**v0.13.0 Update Benefits:**
-- **Fluid project switching** during conversations
-- **Advanced note editing** capabilities
-- **Smart file management** with move operations
-- **Enhanced search** with frontmatter tag support
-
-> **Note**: After updating, restart Claude Desktop for changes to take effect. No sync restart needed in v0.13.0.
-
-### 5. Multi-Project Setup (Enhanced in v0.13.0)
-
-By default, Basic Memory creates a project in `~/basic-memory`. v0.13.0 introduces **fluid project management** - switch between projects instantly during conversations.
-
-```  
-# Create a new project
-basic-memory project create work ~/work-basic-memory  
-  
-# Set the default project  
-basic-memory project set-default work  
-
-# List all projects with status
-basic-memory project list
-
-# Get detailed project information
-basic-memory project info
-```
-
-**New in v0.13.0:**
-- **Instant switching**: Change projects during conversations without restart
-- **Unified database**: All projects in single `~/.basic-memory/memory.db`
-- **Better performance**: Optimized queries and reduced file I/O
-- **Session context**: Maintains active project throughout conversations
-
-## Troubleshooting Installation
-
-### Common Issues
-
-#### Claude Says "No Basic Memory Tools Available"
-
-If Claude cannot find Basic Memory tools:
-
-1. **Check absolute paths**: Ensure you're using complete absolute paths to uvx in the Claude Desktop configuration
-2. **Verify installation**: Run `basic-memory --version` in Terminal to confirm Basic Memory is installed
-3. **Restart applications**: Restart both Terminal and Claude Desktop after making configuration changes
-4. **Check sync status**: You can view the sync status by running `basic-memory status
-.
-#### Permission Issues
-
-If you encounter permission errors:
-
-1. Check that Basic Memory has access to create files in your home directory
-2. Ensure Claude Desktop has permission to execute the uvx command
-
-## Creating Your First Knowledge Note
-
-1. **Open Claude Desktop** and start a new conversation.
-
-2. **Have a natural conversation** about any topic:
-   ```
-   You: "Let's talk about coffee brewing methods I've been experimenting with."
-   Claude: "I'd be happy to discuss coffee brewing methods..."
-   You: "I've found that pour over gives more flavor clarity than French press..."
-   ```
-
-3. **Ask Claude to create a note**:
-   ```
-   You: "Could you create a note summarizing what we've discussed about coffee brewing?"
-   ```
-
-4. **Confirm note creation**:
-   Claude will confirm when the note has been created and where it's stored.
-
-5. **View the created file** in your `~/basic-memory` directory using any text editor or Obsidian.
-   The file structure will look similar to:
-   ```markdown
-   ---
-   title: Coffee Brewing Methods
-   permalink: coffee-brewing-methods
-   tags: [coffee, brewing, equipment]  # v0.13.0: Now searchable!
-   ---
-   
-   # Coffee Brewing Methods
-   
-   ## Observations
-   - [method] Pour over provides more clarity...
-   - [technique] Water temperature at 205°F...
-   
-   ## Relations
-   - relates_to [[Other Coffee Topics]]
-   ```
-
-**v0.13.0 Improvements:**
-- **Real-time sync**: Changes appear immediately, no background sync needed
-- **Searchable tags**: Frontmatter tags are now indexed for search
-- **Better file organization**: Enhanced file management capabilities
-
-## Using Special Prompts
-
-Basic Memory includes special prompts that help you start conversations with context from your knowledge base:
-
-### Continue Conversation
-
-To resume a previous topic:
-
-```
-You: "Let's continue our conversation about coffee brewing."
-```
-
-This prompt triggers Claude to:
-
-1. Search your knowledge base for relevant content about coffee brewing
-2. Build context from these documents
-3. Resume the conversation with full awareness of previous discussions
-
-### Recent Activity
-
-To see what you've been working on:
-
-```
-You: "What have we been discussing recently?"
-```
-
-This prompt causes Claude to:
-
-1. Retrieve documents modified in the recent past
-2. Summarize the topics and main points
-3. Offer to continue any of those discussions
-
-### Search
-
-To find specific information:
-
-```
-You: "Find information about pour over coffee methods."
-```
-
-Claude will:
-
-1. Search your knowledge base for relevant documents
-2. Summarize the key findings
-3. Offer to explore specific documents in more detail
-
-See [[User Guide#Using Special Prompts]] for further information.
-
-## Using Your Knowledge Base
-
-### Referencing Knowledge
-
-In future conversations, reference your existing knowledge:
-
-```
-You: "What water temperature did we decide was optimal for coffee brewing?"
-```
-
-Or directly reference notes using memory:// URLs:
-
-```
-You: "Take a look at memory://coffee-brewing-methods and let's discuss how to improve my technique."
-```
-
-### Building On Previous Knowledge (Enhanced in v0.13.0)
-
-Basic Memory enables continuous knowledge building:
-
-1. **Reference previous discussions** in new conversations
-2. **Edit notes incrementally** without rewriting entire documents
-3. **Move and organize notes** as your knowledge base grows
-4. **Switch between projects** instantly during conversations
-5. **Search by tags** to find related content quickly
-6. **Create connections** between related topics
-7. **Follow relationships** to build comprehensive context
-
-### v0.13.0 Workflow Examples
-
-**Incremental Editing:**
-```
-You: "Add a section about espresso to my coffee brewing notes"
-Claude: [Uses edit_note to append new section]
-```
-
-**File Organization:**
-```
-You: "Move my old meeting notes to an archive folder"
-Claude: [Uses move_note with database consistency]
-```
-
-**Project Switching:**
-```
-You: "Switch to my work project and show recent activity"
-Claude: [Switches projects and shows work-specific content]
-```
-
-## Importing Existing Conversations
-
-Import your existing AI conversations:
-
-```bash
-# From Claude
-basic-memory import claude conversations
-
-# From ChatGPT
-basic-memory import chatgpt
-```
-
-After importing, changes sync automatically in real-time. You can see project statistics by running `basic-memory project info`.

-# Knowledge Format
-
-Basic Memory uses standard Markdown with simple semantic patterns to create a knowledge graph. This document details the file structure and patterns used to organize knowledge.
-
-## File-First Architecture
-
-All knowledge in Basic Memory is stored in plain text Markdown files:
-
-- Files are the source of truth for all knowledge
-- Changes to files automatically update the knowledge graph
-- You maintain complete ownership and control
-- Files work with git and other version control systems
-- Knowledge persists independently of any AI conversation
-
-## Core Document Structure
-
-Every document uses this basic structure:
-
-```markdown
----
-title: Document Title
-type: note
-tags: [tag1, tag2]
-permalink: custom-path
----
-
-# Document Title
-
-Regular markdown content...
-
-## Observations
-- [category] Content with #tags (optional context)
-
-## Relations
-- relation_type [[Other Document]] (optional context)
-```
-
-### Frontmatter
-
-The YAML frontmatter at the top of each file defines essential metadata:
-
-```yaml
----
-title: Document Title    # Used for linking and references
-type: note               # Document type
-tags: [tag1, tag2]       # For organization and searching
-permalink: custom-link   # Optional custom URL path
----
-```
-
-The title is particularly important as it's used to create links between documents.
-
-### Observations
-
-Observations are facts or statements about a topic:
-
-```markdown
-## Observations
-- [tech] Uses SQLite for storage #database
-- [design] Follows local-first architecture #architecture
-- [decision] Selected bcrypt for passwords #security (Based on audit)
-```
-
-Each observation contains:
-- **Category** in [brackets] - classifies the information type
-- **Content text** - the main information
-- Optional **#tags** - additional categorization
-- Optional **(context)** - supporting details
-
-Common categories include:
-- `[tech]`: Technical details
-- `[design]`: Architecture decisions
-- `[feature]`: User capabilities
-- `[decision]`: Choices that were made
-- `[principle]`: Fundamental concepts
-- `[method]`: Approaches or techniques
-- `[preference]`: Personal opinions
-
-### Relations
-
-Relations connect documents to form the knowledge graph:
-
-```markdown
-## Relations
-- implements [[Search Design]]
-- depends_on [[Database Schema]]
-- relates_to [[User Interface]]
-```
-
-You can also create inline references:
-```markdown
-This builds on [[Core Design]] and uses [[Utility Functions]].
-```
-
-Common relation types include:
-- `implements`: Implementation of a specification
-- `depends_on`: Required dependency
-- `relates_to`: General connection
-- `inspired_by`: Source of ideas
-- `extends`: Enhancement
-- `part_of`: Component relationship
-- `contains`: Hierarchical relationship
-- `pairs_with`: Complementary relationship
-
-## Knowledge Graph
-
-Basic Memory automatically builds a knowledge graph from your document connections:
-
-- Each document becomes a node in the graph
-- Relations create edges between nodes
-- Relation types add semantic meaning to connections
-- Forward references can link to documents that don't exist yet
-
-This graph enables rich context building and navigation across your knowledge base.
-
-## Permalinks and memory:// URLs
-
-Every document in Basic Memory has a unique permalink that serves as its stable identifier:
-
-### How Permalinks Work
-
-- **Automatically assigned**: The system generates a permalink for each document
-- **Based on title**: By default, derived from the document title
-- **Always unique**: If conflicts exist, the system adds a suffix to ensure uniqueness
-- **Stable reference**: Remains the same even if the file moves in the directory structure
-- **Used in memory:// URLs**: Forms the basis of the memory:// addressing scheme
-
-You can specify a custom permalink in the frontmatter:
-```yaml
----
-title: Authentication Approaches
-permalink: auth-approaches-2024
----
-```
-
-If not specified, one will be generated automatically from the title, if the note has has a frontmatter section. 
-
-By default a  notes' permalink value will not change if the file is moved. It's a **stable** identifier :). But if you'd rather permalinks are always updated when a file moves, you can set the config setting in the global config. 
-
-The config file for Basic Memory is in the home directory under `.basic-memory/config.json`.
-
-To change the behavior, set the following value:
-```
- ~/.basic-memory/config.json 
-{
-  "update_permalinks_on_move": true
-}
-```
-
-### Using memory:// URLs
-
-The memory:// URL scheme provides a reliable way to reference knowledge:
-
-```
-memory://auth-approaches-2024        # Direct access by permalink
-memory://Authentication Approaches   # Access by title (automatically resolves)
-memory://project/auth-approaches     # Access by path
-```
-
-Memory URLs support pattern matching for more powerful queries:
-
-```
-memory://auth*                      # All documents with permalinks starting with "auth"
-memory://*/approaches               # All documents with permalinks ending with "approaches"
-memory://project/*/requirements     # All requirements documents in the project folder
-memory://docs/search/implements/*   # Follow all implements relations from search docs
-```
-
-This addressing scheme ensures content remains accessible even as your knowledge base evolves and files are reorganized.
-
-## File Organization
-
-Organize files in any structure that suits your needs:
-
-```
-docs/
-  architecture/
-    design.md
-    patterns.md
-  features/
-    search.md
-    auth.md
-```
-
-You can:
-- Group by topic in folders
-- Use a flat structure with descriptive filenames
-- Tag files for easier discovery
-- Add custom metadata in frontmatter
-
-The system will build the semantic knowledge graph regardless of how you organize your files.

-# OAuth Authentication Guide
-
-Basic Memory MCP server supports OAuth 2.1 authentication for secure access control. This guide covers setup, testing, and production deployment.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### 1. Enable OAuth
-
-```bash
-# Set environment variable
-export FASTMCP_AUTH_ENABLED=true
-
-# Or use .env file
-echo "FASTMCP_AUTH_ENABLED=true" >> .env
-```
-
-### 2. Start the Server
-
-```bash
-basic-memory mcp --transport streamable-http
-```
-
-### 3. Test with MCP Inspector
-
-Since the basic auth provider uses in-memory storage with per-instance secret keys, you'll need to use a consistent approach:
-
-#### Option A: Use Environment Variable for Secret Key
-
-```bash
-# Set a fixed secret key for testing
-export FASTMCP_AUTH_SECRET_KEY="your-test-secret-key"
-
-# Start the server
-FASTMCP_AUTH_ENABLED=true basic-memory mcp --transport streamable-http
-
-# In another terminal, register a client
-basic-memory auth register-client --client-id=test-client
-
-# Get a token using the same secret key
-basic-memory auth test-auth
-```
-
-#### Option B: Use the Built-in Test Endpoint
-
-```bash
-# Start server with OAuth
-FASTMCP_AUTH_ENABLED=true basic-memory mcp --transport streamable-http
-
-# Register a client and get token in one step
-curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/register \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{"client_metadata": {"client_name": "Test Client"}}'
-
-# Use the returned client_id and client_secret
-curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/token \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-  -d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
-```
-
-### 4. Configure MCP Inspector
-
-1. Open MCP Inspector
-2. Configure:
-   - Server URL: `http://localhost:8000/mcp/` (note the trailing slash!)
-   - Transport: `streamable-http`
-   - Custom Headers:
-     ```
-     Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
-     Accept: application/json, text/event-stream
-     ```
-
-## OAuth Endpoints
-
-The server provides these OAuth endpoints automatically:
-
-- `GET /authorize` - Authorization endpoint
-- `POST /token` - Token exchange endpoint
-- `GET /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server` - OAuth metadata
-- `POST /register` - Client registration (if enabled)
-- `POST /revoke` - Token revocation (if enabled)
-
-## OAuth Flow
-
-### Standard Authorization Code Flow
-
-1. **Get Authorization Code**:
-   ```bash
-   curl "http://localhost:8000/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8000/callback&response_type=code&code_challenge=YOUR_CHALLENGE&code_challenge_method=S256"
-   ```
-
-2. **Exchange Code for Token**:
-   ```bash
-   curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/token \
-     -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-     -d "grant_type=authorization_code&code=AUTH_CODE&client_id=CLIENT_ID&client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET&code_verifier=YOUR_VERIFIER"
-   ```
-
-3. **Use Access Token**:
-   ```bash
-   curl http://localhost:8000/mcp \
-     -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
-   ```
-
-## Production Deployment
-
-### Using Supabase Auth
-
-For production, use Supabase for persistent auth storage:
-
-```bash
-# Configure environment
-FASTMCP_AUTH_ENABLED=true
-FASTMCP_AUTH_PROVIDER=supabase
-SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project.supabase.co
-SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your-anon-key
-SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=your-service-key
-
-# Start server
-basic-memory mcp --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0
-```
-
-### Security Requirements
-
-1. **HTTPS Required**: OAuth requires HTTPS in production (localhost exception for testing)
-2. **PKCE Support**: Claude.ai requires PKCE for authorization
-3. **Token Expiration**: Access tokens expire after 1 hour
-4. **Scopes**: Supported scopes are `read`, `write`, and `admin`
-
-## Connecting from Claude.ai
-
-1. **Deploy with HTTPS**:
-   ```bash
-   # Use ngrok for testing
-   ngrok http 8000
-   
-   # Or deploy to cloud provider
-   ```
-
-2. **Configure in Claude.ai**:
-   - Go to Settings → Integrations
-   - Click "Add More"
-   - Enter: `https://your-server.com/mcp`
-   - Click "Connect"
-   - Authorize in the popup window
-
-## Debugging
-
-### Common Issues
-
-1. **401 Unauthorized**: 
-   - Check token is valid and not expired
-   - Verify secret key consistency
-   - Ensure bearer token format: `Authorization: Bearer TOKEN`
-
-2. **404 on Auth Endpoints**:
-   - Endpoints are at root, not under `/auth`
-   - Use `/authorize` not `/auth/authorize`
-
-3. **Token Validation Fails**:
-   - Basic provider uses in-memory storage
-   - Tokens don't persist across server restarts
-   - Use same secret key for testing
-
-### Debug Commands
-
-```bash
-# Check OAuth metadata
-curl http://localhost:8000/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
-
-# Enable debug logging
-export FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
-
-# Test token directly
-curl http://localhost:8000/mcp \
-  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
-  -v
-```
-
-## Provider Options
-
-- **basic**: In-memory storage (development only)
-- **supabase**: Recommended for production
-- **github**: GitHub OAuth integration
-- **google**: Google OAuth integration
-
-## Example Test Script
-
-```python
-import httpx
-import asyncio
-from urllib.parse import urlparse, parse_qs
-
-async def test_oauth_flow():
-    """Test the full OAuth flow"""
-    client_id = "test-client"
-    client_secret = "test-secret"
-    
-    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
-        # 1. Get authorization code
-        auth_response = await client.get(
-            "http://localhost:8000/authorize",
-            params={
-                "client_id": client_id,

-# Obsidian Integration
-
-Basic Memory integrates seamlessly with [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md), providing powerful visualization and navigation capabilities for your knowledge graph.
-
-## Setup
-
-### Creating an Obsidian Vault
-
-1. Download and install [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md)
-2. Create a new vault
-3. Point it to your Basic Memory directory (~/basic-memory by default)
-4. Enable core plugins like Graph View, Backlinks, and Tags
-
-## Visualization Features
-
-### Graph View
-
-Obsidian's Graph View provides a visual representation of your knowledge network:
-
-- Each document appears as a node
-- Relations appear as connections between nodes
-- Colors can be customized to distinguish types
-- Filters let you focus on specific aspects
-- Local graphs show connections for individual documents
-
-### Backlinks
-
-Obsidian automatically tracks references between documents:
-
-- View all documents that reference the current one
-- See the exact context of each reference
-- Navigate easily through connections
-- Track how concepts relate to each other
-
-### Tag Explorer
-
-Use tags to organize and filter content:
-
-- View all tags in your knowledge base
-- See how many documents use each tag
-- Filter documents by tag combinations
-- Create hierarchical tag structures
-
-## Knowledge Elements
-
-Basic Memory's knowledge format works natively with Obsidian:
-
-### Wiki Links
-
-```markdown
-## Relations
-- implements [[Search Design]]
-- depends_on [[Database Schema]]
-```
-
-These display as clickable links in Obsidian and appear in the graph view.
-
-### Observations with Tags
-
-```markdown
-## Observations
-- [tech] Using SQLite #database
-- [design] Local-first #architecture
-```
-
-Tags become searchable and filterable in Obsidian's tag pane.
-
-### Frontmatter
-
-```yaml
----
-title: Document Title
-type: note
-tags: [search, design]
----
-```
-
-Frontmatter provides metadata for Obsidian to use in search and filtering.
-
-## Canvas Integration
-
-Basic Memory can create [Obsidian Canvas](https://obsidian.md/canvas) files:
-
-1. Ask Claude to create a visualization:
-   ```
-   You: "Create a canvas showing the structure of our project components."
-   ```
-
-2. Claude generates a .canvas file in your knowledge base
-
-3. Open the file in Obsidian to view and edit the visual representation
-
-4. Canvas files maintain references to your documents
-
-## Recommended Plugins
-
-These Obsidian plugins work especially well with Basic Memory:
-
-- **Dataview**: Query your knowledge base programmatically

-# Supabase OAuth Setup for Basic Memory
-
-This guide explains how to set up Supabase as the OAuth provider for Basic Memory MCP server in production.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. A Supabase project (create one at [supabase.com](https://supabase.com))
-2. Basic Memory MCP server deployed
-3. Environment variables configuration
-
-## Overview
-
-The Supabase OAuth provider offers:
-- Production-ready authentication with persistent storage
-- User management through Supabase Auth
-- JWT token validation
-- Integration with Supabase's security features
-- Support for social logins (GitHub, Google, etc.)
-
-## Setup Steps
-
-### 1. Get Supabase Credentials
-
-From your Supabase project dashboard:
-
-1. Go to Settings > API
-2. Copy these values:
-   - `Project URL` → `SUPABASE_URL`
-   - `anon public` key → `SUPABASE_ANON_KEY`
-   - `service_role` key → `SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY` (keep this secret!)
-   - JWT secret → `SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET` (under Settings > API > JWT Settings)
-
-### 2. Configure Environment Variables
-
-Create a `.env` file:
-
-```bash
-# Enable OAuth
-FASTMCP_AUTH_ENABLED=true
-FASTMCP_AUTH_PROVIDER=supabase
-
-# Your MCP server URL
-FASTMCP_AUTH_ISSUER_URL=https://your-mcp-server.com
-
-# Supabase configuration
-SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project.supabase.co
-SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your-anon-key
-SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=your-service-key
-SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET=your-jwt-secret
-
-# Allowed OAuth clients (comma-separated)
-SUPABASE_ALLOWED_CLIENTS=web-app,mobile-app,cli-tool
-
-# Required scopes
-FASTMCP_AUTH_REQUIRED_SCOPES=read,write
-```
-
-### 3. Create OAuth Clients Table (Optional)
-
-For production, create a table to store OAuth clients in Supabase:
-
-```sql
-CREATE TABLE oauth_clients (
-  id UUID DEFAULT gen_random_uuid() PRIMARY KEY,
-  client_id TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
-  client_secret TEXT NOT NULL,
-  name TEXT,
-  redirect_uris TEXT[],
-  allowed_scopes TEXT[],
-  created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT NOW(),
-  updated_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT NOW()
-);
-
--- Create an index for faster lookups
-CREATE INDEX idx_oauth_clients_client_id ON oauth_clients(client_id);
-
--- RLS policies
-ALTER TABLE oauth_clients ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
-
--- Only service role can manage clients
-CREATE POLICY "Service role can manage clients" ON oauth_clients
-  FOR ALL USING (auth.jwt()->>'role' = 'service_role');
-```
-
-### 4. Set Up Auth Flow
-
-The Supabase OAuth provider handles the following flow:
-
-1. **Client Authorization Request**
-   ```
-   GET /authorize?client_id=web-app&redirect_uri=https://app.com/callback
-   ```
-
-2. **Redirect to Supabase Auth**
-   - User authenticates with Supabase (email/password, magic link, or social login)
-   - Supabase redirects back to your MCP server
-
-3. **Token Exchange**
-   ```
-   POST /token
-   Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
-   
-   grant_type=authorization_code&code=xxx&client_id=web-app
-   ```
-
-4. **Access Protected Resources**
-   ```
-   GET /mcp
-   Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
-   ```
-
-### 5. Enable Social Logins (Optional)
-
-In Supabase dashboard:
-
-1. Go to Authentication > Providers
-2. Enable desired providers (GitHub, Google, etc.)
-3. Configure OAuth apps for each provider
-4. Users can now log in via social providers
-
-### 6. User Management
-
-Supabase provides:
-- User registration and login
-- Password reset flows
-- Email verification
-- User metadata storage
-- Admin APIs for user management
-
-Access user data in your MCP tools:
-
-```python
-# In your MCP tool
-async def get_user_info(ctx: Context):
-    # The token is already validated by the OAuth middleware
-    user_id = ctx.auth.user_id
-    email = ctx.auth.email
-    
-    # Use Supabase client to get more user data if needed
-    user = await supabase.auth.admin.get_user_by_id(user_id)
-    return user
-```
-
-### 7. Production Deployment
-
-1. **Environment Security**
-   - Never expose `SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY`
-   - Use environment variables, not hardcoded values
-   - Rotate keys periodically
-
-2. **HTTPS Required**
-   - Always use HTTPS in production
-   - Configure proper SSL certificates
-
-3. **Rate Limiting**
-   - Implement rate limiting for auth endpoints
-   - Use Supabase's built-in rate limiting
-
-4. **Monitoring**
-   - Monitor auth logs in Supabase dashboard
-   - Set up alerts for suspicious activity
-
-## Testing
-
-### Local Development
-
-For local testing with Supabase:
-
-```bash
-# Start MCP server with Supabase auth
-FASTMCP_AUTH_ENABLED=true \
-FASTMCP_AUTH_PROVIDER=supabase \
-SUPABASE_URL=http://localhost:54321 \
-SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your-local-anon-key \
-bm mcp --transport streamable-http
-```
-
-### Test Authentication Flow
-
-```python
-import httpx
-import asyncio
-
-async def test_supabase_auth():
-    # 1. Register/login with Supabase directly
-    supabase_url = "https://your-project.supabase.co"
-    
-    # 2. Get MCP authorization URL
-    response = await httpx.get(
-        "http://localhost:8000/authorize",
-        params={
-            "client_id": "web-app",
-            "redirect_uri": "http://localhost:3000/callback",
-            "response_type": "code",
-        }
-    )
-    
-    # 3. User logs in via Supabase
-    # 4. Exchange code for MCP tokens
-    # 5. Access protected resources
-
-asyncio.run(test_supabase_auth())
-```
-
-## Advanced Configuration
-
-### Custom User Metadata
-
-Store additional user data in Supabase:
-
-```sql
--- Add custom fields to auth.users
-ALTER TABLE auth.users 
-ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS metadata JSONB DEFAULT '{}';
-
--- Or create a separate profiles table
-CREATE TABLE profiles (
-  id UUID REFERENCES auth.users PRIMARY KEY,
-  username TEXT UNIQUE,
-  avatar_url TEXT,
-  bio TEXT,
-  created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT NOW()
-);
-```
-
-### Row Level Security (RLS)
-
-Protect user data with RLS:
-
-```sql
--- Users can only access their own data
-CREATE POLICY "Users can view own profile" ON profiles
-  FOR SELECT USING (auth.uid() = id);
-
-CREATE POLICY "Users can update own profile" ON profiles
-  FOR UPDATE USING (auth.uid() = id);
-```
-
-### Custom Claims
-
-Add custom claims to JWT tokens:
-
-```sql
--- Function to add custom claims
-CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION custom_jwt_claims()
-RETURNS JSON AS $$
-BEGIN
-  RETURN json_build_object(
-    'user_role', current_setting('request.jwt.claims')::json->>'user_role',
-    'permissions', current_setting('request.jwt.claims')::json->>'permissions'
-  );
-END;
-$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-1. **Invalid JWT Secret**
-   - Ensure `SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET` matches your Supabase project
-   - Check Settings > API > JWT Settings in Supabase dashboard
-
-2. **CORS Errors**
-   - Configure CORS in your MCP server
-   - Add allowed origins in Supabase dashboard
-
-3. **Token Validation Fails**
-   - Verify tokens are being passed correctly
-   - Check token expiration times
-   - Ensure scopes match requirements
-
-4. **User Not Found**
-   - Confirm user exists in Supabase Auth
-   - Check if email is verified (if required)
-   - Verify client permissions
-
-### Debug Mode
-
-Enable debug logging:
-
-```bash
-export FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
-export SUPABASE_LOG_LEVEL=debug
-```
-
-## Security Best Practices
-
-1. **Secure Keys**: Never commit secrets to version control
-2. **Least Privilege**: Use minimal required scopes
-3. **Token Rotation**: Implement refresh token rotation
-4. **Audit Logs**: Monitor authentication events
-5. **Rate Limiting**: Protect against brute force attacks
-6. **HTTPS Only**: Always use encrypted connections
-
-## Migration from Basic Auth
-
-To migrate from the basic auth provider:
-
-1. Export existing user data
-2. Import users into Supabase Auth
-3. Update client applications to use new auth flow
-4. Gradually transition users to Supabase login
-
-## Next Steps
-
-- Set up email templates in Supabase
-- Configure password policies
-- Implement MFA (multi-factor authentication)
-- Add social login providers
-- Create admin dashboard for user management

-# Technical Information
-
-This document provides technical details about Basic Memory's implementation, licensing, and integration with the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
-
-## Architecture
-
-Basic Memory consists of:
-
-1. **Core Knowledge Engine**: Parses and indexes Markdown files
-2. **SQLite Database**: Provides fast querying and search
-3. **MCP Server**: Implements the Model Context Protocol
-4. **CLI Tools**: Command-line utilities for management
-5. **Sync Service**: Monitors file changes and updates the database
-
-The system follows a file-first architecture where all knowledge is represented in standard Markdown files and the database serves as a secondary index.
-
-## Model Context Protocol (MCP)
-
-Basic Memory implements the [Model Context Protocol](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/spec), an open standard for enabling AI models to access external tools:
-
-- **Standardized Interface**: Common protocol for tool integration
-- **Tool Registration**: Basic Memory registers as a tool provider
-- **Asynchronous Communication**: Enables efficient interaction with AI models
-- **Standardized Schema**: Structured data exchange format
-
-Integration with Claude Desktop uses the MCP to grant Claude access to your knowledge base through a set of specialized tools that search, read, and write knowledge.
-
-## Licensing
-
-Basic Memory is licensed under the [GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0)](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html):
-
-- **Free Software**: You can use, study, share, and modify the software
-- **Copyleft**: Derivative works must be distributed under the same license
-- **Network Use**: Network users must be able to receive the source code

-- **Issue Tracker**: Report bugs and request features on GitHub
-- **Contributions**: Pull requests are welcome following the contributing guidelines
-- **Documentation**: Source for this documentation is also available in the repository
-
-## Data Storage and Privacy
-
-Basic Memory is designed with privacy as a core principle:
-
-- **Local-First**: All data remains on your local machine
-- **No Cloud Dependency**: No remote servers or accounts required
-- **Telemetry**: Optional and disabled by default
-- **Standard Formats**: All data is stored in standard file formats you control
-
-## Implementation Details
-
-Knowledge in Basic Memory is organized as a semantic graph:
-
-1. **Entities** - Distinct concepts represented by Markdown documents
-2. **Observations** - Categorized facts and information about entities
-3. **Relations** - Connections between entities that form the knowledge graph
-
-This structure emerges from simple text patterns in standard Markdown:

-# Coffee Brewing Methods
-
-An exploration of different coffee brewing techniques, their characteristics, and how they affect flavor extraction.
-
-## Overview
-
-Coffee brewing is both an art and a science. Different brewing methods extract different compounds from coffee beans,
-resulting in unique flavor profiles, body, and mouthfeel. The key variables in any brewing method are:
-
-- Grind size
-- Water temperature
-- Brew time
-- Coffee-to-water ratio
-- Agitation/turbulence
-
-## Observations
-
-- [principle] Coffee extraction follows a predictable pattern: acids extract first, then sugars, then bitter compounds
-  #extraction
-- [method] Pour over methods generally produce cleaner, brighter cups with more distinct flavor notes #clarity
-
-## Relations
-
-- requires [[Proper Grinding Technique]]
-- affects [[Flavor Extraction]]

-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Basic Memory understands how to build context via its semantic graph.
-
-### Entity Model
-
-Basic Memory's core data model consists of:
-
-- **Entities**: Documents in your knowledge base
-- **Observations**: Facts or statements about entities
-- **Relations**: Connections between entities
-- **Tags**: Additional categorization for entities and observations
-
-The system parses Markdown files to extract this structured information while preserving the human-readable format.
-
-### Files as Source of Truth
-
-Plain Markdown files store all knowledge, making it accessible with any text editor and easy to version with git.
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart TD
-    User((User)) <--> |Conversation| Claude["Claude or other LLM"]
-    Claude <-->|API Calls| BMCP["Basic Memory MCP Server"]

-    class Claude primary
-    class BMCP secondary
-    class KnowledgeFiles tertiary
-    class KnowledgeIndex quaternary
-    class User,Editors user`;
-```
-
-### Sqlite Database
-
-A local SQLite database maintains the knowledge graph topology for fast queries and semantic traversal without cloud dependencies. It contains:
-- db tables for the knowledge graph schema
-- a search index table enabling full text search across the knowledge base
-
-
-### Sync Process
-
-The sync process:
-
-1. Detects changes to files in the knowledge directory
-2. Parses modified files to extract structured data
-3. Updates the SQLite database with changes
-4. Resolves forward references when new entities are created
-5. Updates the search index for fast querying
-
-### Search Engine
-
-The search functionality:
-
-1. Uses a combination of full-text search and semantic matching
-2. Indexes observations, relations, and content
-3. Supports wildcards and pattern matching in memory:// URLs
-4. Traverses the knowledge graph to follow relationships
-5. Ranks results by relevance to the query

-Using Basic Memory follows a natural cycle:
-
-1. **Have conversations** with AI assistants like Claude
-2. **Capture knowledge** in Markdown files
-3. **Build connections** between pieces of knowledge
-4. **Reference your knowledge** in future conversations
-5. **Edit files directly** when needed
-6. **Sync changes** automatically
-
-## Creating Knowledge
-
-### Through Conversations
-
-To create knowledge during conversations with Claude:
-
-```
-You: We've covered several authentication approaches. Could you create a note summarizing what we've discussed?
-
-Claude: I'll create a note summarizing our authentication discussion.
-```
-
-This creates a Markdown file in your `~/basic-memory` directory with semantic markup.
-
-### Direct File Creation
-
-You can create files directly:
-
-1. Create a new Markdown file in your `~/basic-memory` directory
-2. Add frontmatter with title, type, and optional tags
-3. Structure content with observations and relations
-4. Save the file
-5. Run `basic-memory sync` if not in watch mode
-
-## Using Special Prompts
-
-Basic Memory includes several special prompts that help you leverage your knowledge base more effectively. In apps like
-Claude Desktop, these prompts trigger specific tools to search and analyze your knowledge base.
-
-### Continue Conversation
-
-When you want to pick up where you left off on a topic:
-
-```
-You: Let's continue our conversation about authentication systems.
-```
-
-Behind the scenes:
-
-- Claude searches your knowledge base for content about "authentication systems"
-- It retrieves relevant documents and their relations
-- It analyzes the context to understand where you left off
-- It builds a comprehensive picture of what you've previously discussed
-- It can then resume the conversation with all that context
-
-This is particularly useful when:
-
-- Starting a new session days or weeks after your last discussion
-- Switching between multiple ongoing projects
-- Building on previous work without repeating yourself
-
-### Recent Activity
-
-To get an overview of what you've been working on:
-
-```
-You: What have we been discussing recently?
-```
-
-Behind the scenes:
-
-- Claude retrieves documents modified recently
-- It analyzes patterns and themes
-- It summarizes the key topics and changes
-- It offers to continue working on any of those topics
-
-This is useful for:
-
-- Coming back after a break
-- Getting a quick reminder of ongoing projects
-- Deciding what to work on next
-
-### Search
-
-To find specific information in your knowledge base:
-
-```
-You: Find information about JWT authentication in my notes.
-```
-
-Behind the scenes:
-
-- Claude performs a semantic search for "JWT authentication"
-- It retrieves and ranks the most relevant documents
-- It summarizes the key findings
-- It offers to explore specific areas in more detail
-
-This is useful for:
-
-- Finding specific information quickly
-- Exploring what you know about a topic
-- Starting work on an existing topic
-
-### Example
-
-Choose "Continue Conversation"
-![[prompt 1.png|500]]
-
-Enter a topic
-![[prompt2.png|500]]
-
-Give instructions
-![[prompt3.png|500]]
-
-Claude Desktop lets you send a prompt to provide context. You can use this at the beginning of a chat to preload context
-without needing to copy paste all the time. By using one of the supplied prompts, Basic Memory will search the knowledge
-base and give the AI instructions for how to build context.
-
-Choose "Continue Conversation":
-
-![[prompt 1.png|500]]
-
-Enter a topic:
-
-![[prompt2.png|500]]
-
-Give optional additional instructions:
-
-![[prompt3.png|500]]
-
-Claude can build context from the supplied topic. This works independently of Claude Project information. All the
-context comes from your local knowledge base.
-
-![[prompt4.png|500]]
-
-## Searching Your Knowledge Base
-
-Basic Memory provides multiple ways to search and explore your knowledge base:
-
-### Natural Language Search
-
-The simplest way to search is to ask Claude directly:
-
-```
-You: What do I know about authentication methods?
-```
-
-Claude will search your knowledge base semantically and return relevant information.
-
-### Search Prompt
-
-Use the dedicated search prompt for more focused searches:
-
-```
-You: Search for "JWT authentication"
-```
-
-This triggers a specialized search that returns precise results with document titles, relevant excerpts, and offers to
-explore specific documents.
-
-### Boolean Search
-
-For more precise searches, use boolean operators to refine your queries:
-
-```
-You: Search for "authentication AND OAuth NOT basic"
-```
-
-Basic Memory supports standard boolean operators:
-
-- **AND**: Find documents containing both terms
-  ```
-  You: Search for "python AND flask"
-  ```
-  This finds documents containing both "python" and "flask"
-
-- **OR**: Find documents containing either term
-  ```
-  You: Search for "python OR javascript"
-  ```
-  This finds documents containing either "python" or "javascript"
-
-- **NOT**: Exclude documents containing specific terms
-  ```
-  You: Search for "python NOT django"
-  ```
-  This finds documents containing "python" but excludes those containing "django"
-
-- **Grouping with parentheses**: Control operator precedence
-  ```
-  You: Search for "(python OR javascript) AND web"
-  ```
-  This finds documents about web development that mention either Python or JavaScript
-
-Boolean search is particularly useful for:
-
-- Narrowing down results in large knowledge bases
-- Finding specific combinations of concepts
-- Excluding irrelevant content from search results
-- Creating complex queries for precise information retrieval
-
-### Memory URL Pattern Matching
-
-For advanced searches, use memory:// URL patterns with wildcards:
-
-```
-You: Look at memory://auth* and summarize all authentication approaches.
-```
-
-Pattern matching supports:
-
-- **Wildcards**: `memory://auth*` matches all permalinks starting with "auth"
-- **Path patterns**: `memory://project/*/auth` matches auth documents in any project subfolder
-- **Relation traversal**: `memory://auth-system/implements/*` finds all documents that implement the auth system
-
-### Combining Search with Context Building
-
-The most powerful searches build comprehensive context by following relationships:
-
-```
-You: Search for JWT authentication and then follow all implementation relations.
-```
-
-This builds a complete picture by:
-
-1. Finding documents about JWT authentication
-2. Following implementation relationships from those documents
-3. Building a complete picture of how JWT is implemented across your system
-
-### Search Best Practices
-
-For effective searching:
-
-1. **Be specific** with search terms and phrases
-2. **Use boolean operators** to refine searches and find precise information
-3. **Use technical terms** when searching for technical content
-4. **Follow up** on search results by asking for more details about specific documents
-5. **Combine approaches** by starting with search and then using memory:// URLs for precision
-6. **Use relation traversal** to explore connected concepts after finding initial documents
-
-## Referencing Knowledge
-
-### Using memory:// URLs
-
-Reference specific knowledge directly:
-
-```
-You: Please look at memory://authentication-approaches and suggest which approach would be best for our mobile app.
-```
-
-### Natural Language References
-
-Reference knowledge conversationally:
-
-```
-You: What did we decide about authentication for the project?
-```
-
-### Advanced References
-
-Follow connections across your knowledge graph:
-
-```
-You: Look at memory://project-architecture and check related documents to give me a complete picture.
-```
-
-## Working with Files
-
-### File Location and Organization
-
-By default, Basic Memory stores files in `~/basic-memory`:
-
-- Browse this directory in your file explorer
-- Organize files into subfolders
-- Use git for version control
-
-### File Format
-
-Each knowledge file follows this structure:
-
-```markdown
----
-title: Authentication Approaches
-type: note
-tags: [security, architecture]
-permalink: authentication-approaches
----
-
-# Authentication Approaches
-
-A comparison of authentication methods.
-
-## Observations
-
-- [approach] JWT provides stateless authentication #security
-- [limitation] Session tokens require server-side storage #infrastructure
-
-## Relations
-
-- implements [[Security Requirements]]
-- affects [[User Login Flow]]
-```
-
-### Editing Files
-
-Modify files in any text editor:
-
-1. Open the file in your preferred editor
-2. Make changes to content, observations, or relations
-3. Save the file
-4. Basic Memory detects changes automatically when running in watch mode
-
-## Building a Knowledge Graph
-
-The value of Basic Memory comes from connections between pieces of knowledge.
-
-### Creating Relations
-
-When creating or editing notes, build connections:
-
-```markdown
-## Relations
-
-- implements [[Security Requirements]]
-- depends_on [[User Authentication]]
-```
-
-Relations can be:
-
-- Hierarchical (part_of, contains)
-- Directional (implements, depends_on)
-- Associative (relates_to, similar_to)
-- Temporal (precedes, follows)
-
-Relations are also created via regular wiki-link style links within the body text.
-
-### Forward References
-
-Reference documents that don't exist yet:
-
-```markdown
-- will_impact [[Future Feature]]
-```
-
-These references resolve automatically when you create the referenced document.
-
-## Conversation Continuity
-
-Basic Memory maintains context across different conversations.
-
-### Starting New Sessions with Context
-
-When starting a new conversation with Claude, you can:
-
-1. **Use special prompts** like "Continue conversation about..." or "What were we working on?"
-2. **Reference specific documents** with memory:// URLs
-3. **Ask about recent work** with "What have we been discussing recently?"
-4. **Search for specific topics** with "Find information about..."
-
-### Long-Term Projects
-
-Maintain context for complex projects over time:
-
-1. **Document key decisions** as you make them
-2. **Create relationships** between project components
-3. **Reference past decisions** when implementing features
-4. **Update documentation** as the project evolves
-
-### Tips for Effective Continuity
-
-1. **Be specific about topics** when continuing a conversation
-2. **Reference documents directly** with memory:// URLs for precision
-3. **Create summary notes** after important discussions
-4. **Update existing notes** rather than creating duplicates
-5. **Build robust connections** between related topics

+# Character Handling and Conflict Resolution
+
+Basic Memory handles various character encoding scenarios and file naming conventions to provide consistent permalink generation and conflict resolution. This document explains how the system works and how to resolve common character-related issues.
+
+## Overview
+
+Basic Memory uses a sophisticated system to generate permalinks from file paths while maintaining consistency across different operating systems and character encodings. The system normalizes file paths and generates unique permalinks to prevent conflicts.
+
+## Character Normalization Rules
+
+### 1. Permalink Generation
+
+When Basic Memory processes a file path, it applies these normalization rules:
+
+```
+Original: "Finance/My Investment Strategy.md"
+Permalink: "finance/my-investment-strategy"
+```
+
+**Transformation process:**
+1. Remove file extension (`.md`)
+2. Convert to lowercase (case-insensitive)
+3. Replace spaces with hyphens
+4. Replace underscores with hyphens
+5. Handle international characters (transliteration for Latin, preservation for non-Latin)
+6. Convert camelCase to kebab-case
+
+### 2. International Character Support
+
+**Latin characters with diacritics** are transliterated:
+- `ø` → `o` (Søren → soren)
+- `ü` → `u` (Müller → muller)
+- `é` → `e` (Café → cafe)
+- `ñ` → `n` (Niño → nino)
+
+**Non-Latin characters** are preserved:
+- Chinese: `中文/测试文档.md` → `中文/测试文档`
+- Japanese: `日本語/文書.md` → `日本語/文書`
+
+## Common Conflict Scenarios
+
+### 1. Hyphen vs Space Conflicts
+
+**Problem:** Files with existing hyphens conflict with generated permalinks from spaces.
+
+**Example:**
+```
+File 1: "basic memory bug.md"     → permalink: "basic-memory-bug"
+File 2: "basic-memory-bug.md"    → permalink: "basic-memory-bug" (CONFLICT!)
+```
+
+**Resolution:** The system automatically resolves this by adding suffixes:
+```
+File 1: "basic memory bug.md"     → permalink: "basic-memory-bug"
+File 2: "basic-memory-bug.md"    → permalink: "basic-memory-bug-1"
+```
+
+**Best Practice:** Choose consistent naming conventions within your project.
+
+### 2. Case Sensitivity Conflicts
+
+**Problem:** Different case variations that normalize to the same permalink.
+
+**Example on macOS:**
+```
+Directory: Finance/investment.md
+Directory: finance/investment.md  (different on filesystem, same permalink)
+```
+
+**Resolution:** Basic Memory detects case conflicts and prevents them during sync operations with helpful error messages.
+
+**Best Practice:** Use consistent casing for directory and file names.
+
+### 3. Character Encoding Conflicts
+
+**Problem:** Different Unicode normalizations of the same logical character.
+
+**Example:**
+```
+File 1: "café.md" (é as single character)
+File 2: "café.md" (e + combining accent)
+```
+
+**Resolution:** Basic Memory normalizes Unicode characters using NFD normalization to detect these conflicts.
+
+### 4. Forward Slash Conflicts
+
+**Problem:** Forward slashes in frontmatter or file names interpreted as path separators.
+
+**Example:**
+```yaml
+---
+permalink: finance/investment/strategy
+---
+```
+
+**Resolution:** Basic Memory validates frontmatter permalinks and warns about path separator conflicts.
+
+## Error Messages and Troubleshooting
+
+### "UNIQUE constraint failed: entity.file_path, entity.project_id"
+
+**Cause:** Two entities trying to use the same file path within a project.
+
+**Common scenarios:**
+1. File move operation where destination is already occupied
+2. Case sensitivity differences on macOS
+3. Character encoding conflicts
+4. Concurrent file operations
+
+**Resolution steps:**
+1. Check for duplicate file names with different cases
+2. Look for files with similar names but different character encodings
+3. Rename conflicting files to have unique names
+4. Run sync again after resolving conflicts
+
+### "File path conflict detected during move"
+
+**Cause:** Enhanced conflict detection preventing potential database integrity violations.
+
+**What this means:** The system detected that moving a file would create a conflict before attempting the database operation.
+
+**Resolution:** Follow the specific guidance in the error message, which will indicate the type of conflict detected.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. File Naming Conventions
+
+**Recommended patterns:**
+- Use consistent casing (prefer lowercase)
+- Use hyphens instead of spaces for multi-word files
+- Avoid special characters that could conflict with path separators
+- Be consistent with directory structure casing
+
+**Examples:**
+```
+✅ Good:
+- finance/investment-strategy.md
+- projects/basic-memory-features.md
+- docs/api-reference.md
+
+❌ Problematic:
+- Finance/Investment Strategy.md  (mixed case, spaces)
+- finance/Investment Strategy.md  (inconsistent case)
+- docs/API/Reference.md          (mixed case directories)
+```
+
+### 2. Permalink Management
+
+**Custom permalinks in frontmatter:**
+```yaml
+---
+type: knowledge
+permalink: custom-permalink-name
+---
+```
+
+**Guidelines:**
+- Use lowercase permalinks
+- Use hyphens for word separation
+- Avoid path separators unless creating sub-paths
+- Ensure uniqueness within your project
+
+### 3. Directory Structure
+
+**Consistent casing:**
+```
+✅ Good:
+finance/
+  investment-strategies.md
+  portfolio-management.md
+
+❌ Problematic:  
+Finance/           (capital F)
+  investment-strategies.md
+finance/           (lowercase f) 
+  portfolio-management.md
+```
+
+## Migration and Cleanup
+
+### Identifying Conflicts
+
+Use Basic Memory's built-in conflict detection:
+
+```bash
+# Sync will report conflicts
+basic-memory sync
+
+# Check sync status for warnings
+basic-memory status
+```
+
+### Resolving Existing Conflicts
+
+1. **Identify conflicting files** from sync error messages
+2. **Choose consistent naming convention** for your project
+3. **Rename files** to follow the convention
+4. **Re-run sync** to verify resolution
+
+### Bulk Renaming Strategy
+
+For projects with many conflicts:
+
+1. **Backup your project** before making changes
+2. **Standardize on lowercase** file and directory names
+3. **Replace spaces with hyphens** in file names
+4. **Use consistent character encoding** (UTF-8)
+5. **Test sync after each batch** of changes
+
+## System Enhancements
+
+### Recent Improvements (v0.13+)
+
+1. **Enhanced conflict detection** before database operations
+2. **Improved error messages** with specific resolution guidance
+3. **Character normalization utilities** for consistent handling
+4. **File swap detection** for complex move scenarios
+5. **Proactive conflict warnings** during permalink resolution
+
+### Monitoring and Logging
+
+The system now provides detailed logging for conflict resolution:
+
+```
+DEBUG: Detected potential file path conflicts for 'Finance/Investment.md': ['finance/investment.md']
+WARNING: File path conflict detected during move: entity_id=123 trying to move from 'old.md' to 'new.md'
+```
+
+These logs help identify and resolve conflicts before they cause sync failures.
+
+## Support and Resources
+
+If you encounter character-related conflicts not covered in this guide:
+
+1. **Check the logs** for specific conflict details
+2. **Review error messages** for resolution guidance  
+3. **Report issues** with examples of the conflicting files
+4. **Consider the file naming best practices** outlined above
+
+The Basic Memory system is designed to handle most character conflicts automatically while providing clear guidance for manual resolution when needed.

-# Coffee Bean Origins
-
-An exploration of coffee-growing regions around the world and how geography, climate, and processing methods affect flavor profiles.
-
-## Overview
-
-Coffee beans are grown in various regions around the world, primarily in what's known as the "Coffee Belt" - the area between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The flavor characteristics of coffee beans are influenced by:
-
-- Geographic region and climate
-- Altitude
-- Soil composition
-- Variety of coffee plant
-- Processing method
-- Harvest and sorting practices
-
-## Observations
-
-- [principle] Higher altitude generally produces harder, denser beans with more complex acidity #altitude
-- [region] Ethiopian beans often feature bright, fruity notes with floral aromatics #ethiopia
-- [region] Colombian coffee typically offers balanced acidity with caramel sweetness and nutty undertones #colombia
-- [region] Guatemalan coffee presents complex acidity with chocolate notes and sometimes spice characteristics #guatemala
-- [region] Brazilian coffee tends toward nutty, chocolate notes with lower acidity and fuller body #brazil
-- [region] Kenyan coffee is known for bright, wine-like acidity and berry or citrus notes #kenya
-- [processing] Natural (dry) processing tends to create fruitier, more fermented flavors #processing
-- [processing] Washed (wet) processing generally results in cleaner, brighter cups with more clarity #processing
-- [processing] Honey processing creates a middle ground with some fruity notes while maintaining clarity #processing
-- [factor] Shade-grown coffee typically develops more slowly, resulting in more complex flavors #cultivation
-- [factor] Soil volcanic soil often imparts distinctive mineral characteristics to coffee #terroir
-- [variety] Gesha/Geisha variety is known for exceptional floral and tea-like qualities #varieties
-- [variety] Bourbon varieties often feature sweet, complex cup profiles #varieties
-- [variety] Robusta beans have higher caffeine content but generally less complex flavor than Arabica #varieties
-
-## Major Growing Regions
-
-- [africa] Ethiopian coffees: Yirgacheffe, Sidamo, Harrar regions each with distinctive profiles #ethiopia
-- [africa] Kenyan coffees: Often categorized by grade (AA, AB, etc.) based on bean size #kenya
-- [americas] Colombian regions: Huila, Nariño, Antioquia each with unique characteristics #colombia
-- [americas] Central American producers: Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama known for balanced profiles #central_america
-- [americas] Brazilian regions: Cerrado, Sul de Minas, Mogiana with varying profiles #brazil
-- [asia] Indonesian islands: Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi producing earthy, full-bodied coffees #indonesia
-- [asia] Vietnamese coffee: World's largest Robusta producer, often used in blends and commercial coffee #vietnam
-
-## Processing Methods
-
-- [natural] Beans dried inside the fruit, creating fruity, fermented notes and heavier body #processing
-- [washed] Fruit removed before drying, resulting in cleaner cup with more pronounced acidity #processing
-- [honey] Some fruit mucilage left on during drying, creates balanced sweetness and body #processing
-- [wet-hulled] Unique to Indonesia, creates earthy, herbal, low-acid profiles #processing
-- [experimental] Anaerobic fermentation, wine-yeast inoculation, and other newer methods #innovation
-
-## Tasting Notes by Region
-
-- [ethiopia] Blueberry, jasmine, bergamot, stone fruit, citrus #flavor_notes
-- [kenya] Blackcurrant, tomato, tropical fruit, wine-like acidity #flavor_notes
-- [colombia] Caramel, nuts, red apple, chocolate, balanced acidity #flavor_notes
-- [guatemala] Chocolate, spice, green apple, balanced #flavor_notes
-- [brazil] Nuts, chocolate, low acidity, full body #flavor_notes
-- [indonesia] Earthy, herbal, spice, cedar, full body, low acidity #flavor_notes

-# Coffee Brewing Methods
-
-An exploration of different coffee brewing techniques, their characteristics, and how they affect flavor extraction.
-
-## Overview
-
-Coffee brewing is both an art and a science. Different brewing methods extract different compounds from coffee beans, resulting in unique flavor profiles, body, and mouthfeel. The key variables in any brewing method are:
-
-- Grind size
-- Water temperature
-- Brew time
-- Coffee-to-water ratio
-- Agitation/turbulence
-
-## Observations
-
-- [principle] Coffee extraction follows a predictable pattern: acids extract first, then sugars, then bitter compounds #extraction
-- [method] Pour over methods generally produce cleaner, brighter cups with more distinct flavor notes #clarity
-- [method] Immersion methods like French press create fuller body and more rounded flavors #body
-- [technique] Water at 195-205°F (90-96°C) extracts optimal flavor compounds for most brewing methods #temperature
-- [technique] Grind size directly correlates with ideal extraction time (finer = shorter, coarser = longer) #grind
-- [preference] Medium-light roasts often showcase more origin characteristics in pour over methods #roast
-- [equipment] Burr grinders produce more consistent particle size than blade grinders, resulting in more even extraction #gear
-- [ratio] 1:15 to 1:17 coffee-to-water ratio (by weight) works well for most brew methods #brewing
-- [science] Different brewing temperatures extract different chemical compounds from the beans #chemistry
-- [technique] Bloom phase (pre-infusion with small amount of water) allows CO2 to escape and improves extraction #bloom
-
-## Pour Over Methods
-
-- [method] V60 produces very clean cup with excellent clarity of flavor #pourover
-- [method] Chemex uses thicker filter paper, resulting in even cleaner cup with fewer oils #pourover
-- [method] Kalita Wave provides more consistent extraction due to flat bottom design #pourover
-- [technique] Concentric circular pouring pattern ensures even saturation of grounds #technique
-- [timing] Most pour over methods complete in 2:30-3:30 total brew time #brewing
-
-## Immersion Methods
-
-- [method] French Press creates full-bodied cup with rich mouthfeel due to metal filter allowing oils to pass #immersion
-- [method] AeroPress is versatile, capable of producing both espresso-like and filter-style coffee #immersion
-- [method] Cold brew uses time instead of heat to extract, resulting in lower acidity #immersion
-- [technique] French press ideal steep time is 4-5 minutes before plunging #timing
-- [technique] AeroPress inverted method prevents dripping during extraction phase #technique
-
-## Pressure Methods
-
-- [method] Espresso uses 9 bars of pressure to force water through finely ground coffee #pressure
-- [method] Moka pot uses steam pressure to push water through grounds, creating strong, concentrated coffee #pressure
-- [technique] Espresso requires very fine grind, almost powder-like consistency #grind
-- [timing] Espresso shots typically extract in 25-30 seconds #timing
-- [principle] Pressure methods can extract compounds that aren't soluble in regular brewing methods #extraction

-# Coffee Flavor Map
-
-A visual mapping of coffee flavor attributes, brewing methods, and their relationships. This note describes a canvas visualization that could be generated to demonstrate Basic Memory's visualization capabilities.
-
-## Overview
-
-The Coffee Flavor Map provides a visual representation of how different brewing methods, coffee origins, and equipment choices affect flavor outcomes. This canvas visualization helps users understand the complex relationships in coffee brewing and tasting.
-
-## Canvas Visualization Elements
-
-### Core Nodes
-- **Flavor Attributes**: Acidity, Sweetness, Body, Clarity, Bitterness, Complexity
-- **Brewing Methods**: Pour Over, French Press, AeroPress, Espresso, Moka Pot, Cold Brew
-- **Origin Regions**: Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala, Indonesia
-- **Equipment Elements**: Grinder Quality, Water Temperature, Brewing Device, Filter Type
-
-### Node Connections
-- Lines connecting brewing methods to their typical flavor outcomes
-- Arrows showing how equipment choices affect extraction variables
-- Connections between origins and their characteristic flavor profiles
-- Highlighting of optimal brewing methods for different origins
-
-### Visual Organization
-- Flavor outcomes in the center
-- Brewing methods on the left side
-- Origins on the right side
-- Equipment variables at the bottom
-- Color coding by category (methods, origins, equipment, flavors)
-
-## Using This Visualization
-
-### For Coffee Exploration
-- Identify which brewing methods might highlight the characteristics you prefer
-- See which origins naturally pair well with your preferred brewing method
-- Understand how equipment changes can modify flavor outcomes
-- Visualize the complex interplay between all coffee variables
-
-### As a Basic Memory Demo
-- Demonstrates Canvas visualization capabilities
-- Shows how relations can be visually mapped
-- Illustrates complex knowledge organization
-- Provides an intuitive way to navigate coffee knowledge
-
-## How To Generate This Canvas
-
-In a conversation with Claude, you could request:
-
-```
-Please create a canvas visualization mapping the relationships between coffee brewing methods, origins, and flavor outcomes. Show how different equipment and techniques influence extraction and resulting flavor profiles.
-```
-
-This would generate a `.canvas` file in your Basic Memory directory that could be opened with Obsidian for an interactive visualization of these coffee relationships.
-
-## Example Visualization Snippets
-
-### Pour Over Method Node
-- Connected to: High Clarity, Bright Acidity, Medium Body
-- Best pairs with: Ethiopian and Kenyan beans
-- Equipment dependencies: Gooseneck Kettle, Paper Filter, Burr Grinder

-### Brewing Techniques
-
-- Proper grinding is fundamental to good extraction
-- Water quality significantly impacts flavor
-- Different brewing methods highlight different characteristics
-- Time, temperature, and grind size are the key variables to control
-- Freshness of beans dramatically affects quality
-
-### Coffee Preferences
-
-- Light roasts preserve more origin characteristics and acidity
-- Dark roasts emphasize body and chocolatey/roasted flavors
-- Pour over methods highlight clarity and distinct flavor notes
-- Immersion methods create fuller body and rounded flavor
-- Personal preference matters more than "correctness"

-# Flavor Extraction
-
-Understanding the science of coffee extraction, how different compounds dissolve at different rates, and how to control extraction to achieve desired flavor profiles.
-
-## Overview
-
-Coffee extraction is the process of dissolving flavor compounds from ground coffee into water. The science of extraction is key to producing a balanced, flavorful cup. Extraction is affected by numerous variables including grind size, water temperature, contact time, agitation, and pressure.
-
-## Observations
-
-- [science] Coffee contains over 1,000 aroma compounds and hundreds of flavor compounds #chemistry
-- [principle] Extraction occurs in a predictable sequence: acids → sugars → bitter compounds #extraction_order
-- [principle] Under-extraction results in sour, bright, thin coffee lacking sweetness and body #under_extraction
-- [principle] Over-extraction results in bitter, hollow, astringent flavors #over_extraction
-- [principle] The goal is typically balanced extraction (18-22% of coffee solubles dissolved) #balanced_extraction
-- [technique] Finer grind size increases extraction rate due to greater surface area #grind_size
-- [technique] Higher water temperature increases extraction rate and solubility of compounds #temperature
-- [technique] Longer contact time allows more complete extraction #brew_time
-- [technique] Agitation (stirring, turbulence) increases extraction rate by preventing saturation zones #agitation
-- [technique] Pressure (as in espresso) can extract compounds that aren't water-soluble at atmospheric pressure #pressure
-
-## Factors Affecting Extraction
-
-- [factor] Grind size: Finer = faster extraction, coarser = slower extraction #grind
-- [factor] Water temperature: Higher = faster extraction, lower = slower extraction #temperature
-- [factor] Contact time: Longer = more extraction, shorter = less extraction #time
-- [factor] Agitation: More = faster extraction, less = slower extraction #agitation
-- [factor] Coffee-to-water ratio: More coffee = lower extraction percentage #ratio
-- [factor] Water quality: Mineral content affects extraction of different compounds #water
-- [factor] Roast level: Darker roasts extract more easily than lighter roasts #roast
-- [factor] Bean density: Denser beans (typically high-altitude) require more effort to extract #density
-- [factor] Freshness: Freshly roasted coffee extracts differently than aged coffee #freshness
-- [factor] Brewing method: Different methods extract different compounds at different rates #method
-
-## Signs of Extraction Levels
-
-- [under] Sour, bright, lack of sweetness, thin body, quick finish #flavor
-- [under] Typically from: too coarse grind, too cool water, too short brew time #causes
-- [balanced] Sweet, bright but not sour, rich but not bitter, pleasing finish #flavor
-- [balanced] Achieved through proper ratio of variables for given coffee #technique
-- [over] Bitter, hollow, astringent, dry finish, sometimes papery #flavor
-- [over] Typically from: too fine grind, too hot water, too long brew time #causes
-
-## Measuring Extraction
-
-- [method] Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) meters measure concentration of coffee solution #measurement
-- [method] Extraction yield = percentage of coffee grounds dissolved in the final brew #calculation
-- [preference] Specialty coffee typically targets 18-22% extraction yield #standards
-- [preference] Some specialty light roasts may taste best at higher extraction percentages #speciality
-
-## Controlling Extraction
-
-- [technique] Adjust grind size as primary extraction control #basics
-- [technique] Use water temperature to fine-tune extraction #fine_tuning
-- [technique] Modify pour technique to control agitation level #technique
-- [technique] Adjust coffee-to-water ratio to balance strength and extraction #ratio
-- [technique] Pre-infusion (blooming) helps achieve even extraction #blooming
-- [technique] Pulse pouring creates different extraction dynamics than continuous pour #pour_technique

-# Tasting Notes
-
-How to taste and evaluate coffee, identify flavor characteristics, and develop a personal coffee palate.
-
-## Overview
-
-Coffee tasting, or "cupping" in professional contexts, is the practice of observing the tastes and aromas of brewed coffee. Developing a coffee palate helps identify preferences, communicate about coffee experiences, and better understand how brewing variables affect the cup.
-
-## Observations
-
-- [principle] Flavor perception includes taste, aroma, mouthfeel, and retronasal perception #sensory
-- [principle] Our taste buds can only perceive sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami #taste
-- [principle] Most of what we call "flavor" is actually aroma detected retronasally #aroma
-- [technique] Professional coffee tasting (cupping) uses a standardized protocol for consistency #cupping
-- [technique] Slurping coffee aerates it and spreads it across all taste receptors #technique
-- [technique] Allowing coffee to cool reveals different flavor notes at different temperatures #temperature
-
-## Coffee Flavor Wheel
-
-- [tool] The SCA Coffee Flavor Wheel provides a standardized vocabulary for describing coffee #flavor_wheel
-- [category] Primary categories include: Fruity, Floral, Sweet, Nutty/Cocoa, Spice, Roasted, Other #categories
-- [subcategory] Fruity breaks down into: Berry, Dried Fruit, Citrus Fruit, Stone Fruit, Tropical Fruit, etc. #fruit_notes
-- [subcategory] Floral includes: Floral, Black Tea, Chamomile, Rose, Jasmine, etc. #floral_notes
-- [subcategory] Sweet includes: Brown Sugar, Molasses, Honey, Maple Syrup, Vanilla, etc. #sweet_notes
-- [subcategory] Nutty/Cocoa includes: Nut, Cocoa, Dark Chocolate, Chocolate, etc. #nutty_notes
-- [subcategory] Spice includes: Brown Spice, Pepper, Anise, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, etc. #spice_notes
-
-## Basic Tasting Components
-
-- [component] Acidity: The bright, tangy quality (not sourness from under-extraction) #acidity
-- [component] Sweetness: The pleasant, sugary quality balancing other elements #sweetness
-- [component] Body: The physical mouthfeel and weight of the coffee #body
-- [component] Finish/Aftertaste: The flavor that lingers after swallowing #finish
-- [component] Balance: How well all elements work together #balance
-- [component] Complexity: The range and layers of distinct flavors #complexity
-- [component] Cleanliness: Absence of defects or off-flavors #cleanliness
-
-## Common Flavor Notes by Origin
-
-- [ethiopia] Blueberry, jasmine, bergamot, lemon, tea-like #flavor_notes
-- [kenya] Blackcurrant, grapefruit, tomato-like acidity, winey #flavor_notes
-- [colombia] Caramel, red apple, nuts, chocolate, balanced acidity #flavor_notes
-- [guatemala] Chocolate, spice, apple, medium acidity #flavor_notes
-- [brazil] Nuts, chocolate, low-to-medium acidity, full body #flavor_notes
-- [indonesia] Earthy, herbal, spice, cedar, full body, low acidity #flavor_notes
-- [costa_rica] Clean, bright, citrus, balanced, light chocolate #flavor_notes
-
-## Developing Your Palate
-
-- [technique] Taste coffees side-by-side to identify differences #comparison
-- [technique] Try describing flavors before looking at roaster's notes #blind_tasting
-- [technique] Keep a coffee journal with detailed notes about each coffee #journaling
-- [technique] Explore different processing methods of the same origin #processing
-- [technique] Try the same coffee brewed with different methods #brewing_comparison
-- [technique] Use reference flavors (actual fruits, chocolates, etc.) to calibrate your palate #calibration
-
-## Personal Coffee Experiences
-
-- [experience] Ethiopian Yirgacheffe prepared as pour over: intense blueberry, jasmine aromatics, tea-like body
-- [experience] Sumatra Mandheling in French press: earthy, cedar, herbal, tobacco, full body
-- [experience] Panama Gesha as pour over: intense floral notes, jasmine, bergamot, delicate body
-- [experience] Brazil Cerrado as espresso: nutty, chocolate, caramel, low acidity, great crema
-- [experience] Kenya AA as pour over: bright blackcurrant, tomato-like acidity, winey finish
