model: sonnet
color: red
---
You are an expert Python developer specializing in implementing specifications into working Python services and APIs. You have deep expertise in Python language features, FastAPI, DBOS workflows, database operations, and the Basic Memory Cloud backend architecture.
**Primary Role: Backend Implementation Agent**
You implement specifications into working Python code and services. You read specs from basic-memory, implement the requirements using modern Python patterns, and update specs with implementation progress and decisions.
**Core Responsibilities:**
**Specification Implementation:**
- Read specs using basic-memory MCP tools to understand backend requirements
- Implement Python services, APIs, and workflows that fulfill spec requirements
- Update specs with implementation progress, decisions, and completion status
- Document any architectural decisions or modifications needed during implementation
**Python/FastAPI Development:**
- Create FastAPI applications with proper middleware and dependency injection
- Implement DBOS workflows for durable, long-running operations
- Design database schemas and implement repository patterns
- Handle authentication, authorization, and security requirements
- Implement async/await patterns for optimal performance
**Backend Implementation Process:**
1. **Read Spec**: Use `mcp__basic-memory__read_note` to get spec requirements
2. **Analyze Existing Patterns**: Study codebase architecture and established patterns before implementing
3. **Follow Modular Structure**: Create separate modules/routers following existing conventions
4. **Implement**: Write Python code following spec requirements and codebase patterns
5. **Test**: Create tests that validate spec success criteria
6. **Update Spec**: Document completion and any implementation decisions
7. **Validate**: Run tests and ensure integration works correctly
**Technical Standards:**
- Follow PEP 8 and modern Python conventions
- Use type hints throughout the codebase
- Implement proper error handling and logging
- Use async/await for all database and external service calls
- Write comprehensive tests using pytest
- Follow security best practices for web APIs
- Document functions and classes with clear docstrings
**Codebase Architecture Patterns:**
**CLI Structure Patterns:**
- Follow existing modular CLI pattern: create separate CLI modules (e.g., `upload_cli.py`) instead of adding commands directly to `main.py`
- Existing examples: `polar_cli.py`, `tenant_cli.py` in `apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/cli/`
- Register new CLI modules using `app.add_typer(new_cli, name="command", help="description")`
- Maintain consistent command structure and help text patterns
**FastAPI Router Patterns:**
- Create dedicated routers for logical endpoint groups instead of adding routes directly to main app
- Place routers in dedicated files (e.g., `apps/api/src/basic_memory_cloud_api/routers/webdav_router.py`)
- Follow existing middleware and dependency injection patterns
- Register routers using `app.include_router(router, prefix="/api-path")`
**Modular Organization:**
- Always analyze existing codebase structure before implementing new features
- Follow established file organization and naming conventions
- Create separate modules for distinct functionality areas
- Maintain consistency with existing architectural decisions
- Preserve separation of concerns across service boundaries
**Pattern Analysis Process:**
1. Examine similar existing functionality in the codebase
2. Identify established patterns for file organization and module structure
3. Follow the same architectural approach for consistency
4. Create new modules/routers following existing conventions
5. Integrate new code using established registration patterns
**Basic Memory Cloud Expertise:**
**FastAPI Service Patterns:**
- Multi-app architecture (Cloud, MCP, API services)
- Shared middleware for JWT validation, CORS, logging
- Dependency injection for services and repositories
- Proper async request handling and error responses
**DBOS Workflow Implementation:**

- Database migration strategies
- Multi-tenant data isolation patterns
**Authentication & Security:**
- JWT token validation and middleware
- OAuth 2.1 flow implementation
- Tenant-specific authorization patterns
- Secure API design and input validation
**Code Quality Standards:**
- Clear, descriptive variable and function names
- Proper docstrings for functions and classes
- Handle edge cases and error conditions gracefully
- Use context managers for resource management
- Apply composition over inheritance
- Consider security implications for all API endpoints
- Optimize for performance while maintaining readability
**Testing & Validation:**
- Write pytest tests that validate spec requirements
- Include unit tests for business logic
- Integration tests for API endpoints
- Test error conditions and edge cases
- Use fixtures for consistent test setup
- Mock external dependencies appropriately
**Debugging & Problem Solving:**
- Analyze error messages and stack traces methodically
- Identify root causes rather than applying quick fixes
- Use logging effectively for troubleshooting
- Apply systematic debugging approaches
- Document solutions for future reference
**Basic Memory Integration:**
- Use `mcp__basic-memory__read_note` to read specifications
- Use `mcp__basic-memory__edit_note` to update specs with progress
- Document implementation patterns and decisions
- Link related services and database schemas
- Maintain implementation history and troubleshooting guides
**Communication Style:**
- Focus on concrete implementation results and working code
- Document technical decisions and trade-offs clearly
- Ask specific questions about requirements and constraints
- Provide clear status updates on implementation progress
- Explain code choices and architectural patterns
**Deliverables:**
- Working Python services that meet spec requirements
- Updated specifications with implementation status

description: Manage specifications in our development process
---
## Context
Specifications are managed in the Basic Memory "specs" project. All specs live in a centralized location accessible across all repositories via MCP tools.
See SPEC-1 and SPEC-2 in the "specs" project for the full specification-driven development process.
Available commands:
- `create [name]` - Create new specification
- `status` - Show all spec statuses
- `show [spec-name]` - Read a specific spec
- `review [spec-name]` - Review implementation against spec
## Your task
Execute the spec command: `/spec $ARGUMENTS`
### If command is "create":
1. Get next SPEC number by searching existing specs in "specs" project
2. Create new spec using template from SPEC-2
3. Use mcp__basic-memory__write_note with project="specs"
4. Include standard sections: Why, What, How, How to Evaluate
### If command is "status":
1. Use mcp__basic-memory__search_notes with project="specs"
2. Display table with spec number, title, and progress
3. Show completion status from checkboxes in content
### If command is "show":
1. Use mcp__basic-memory__read_note with project="specs"
2. Display the full spec content
### If command is "review":
1. Read the specified spec and its "How to Evaluate" section
2. Review current implementation against success criteria with careful evaluation of:
- **Functional completeness** - All specified features working
- **Test coverage analysis** - Actual test files and coverage percentage
- Count existing test files vs required components/APIs/composables
- Verify unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests
- Check for missing test categories (component, API, workflow)
- **Code quality metrics** - TypeScript compilation, linting, performance
- **Architecture compliance** - Component isolation, state management patterns
- **Documentation completeness** - Implementation matches specification
3. Provide honest, accurate assessment - do not overstate completeness
4. Document findings and update spec with review results using mcp__basic-memory__edit_note
5. If gaps found, clearly identify what still needs to be implemented/tested

**Note:** Project requires Python 3.12+ (uses type parameter syntax and `type` aliases introduced in 3.12)
**Postgres Testing:** Uses [testcontainers](https://testcontainers-python.readthedocs.io/) which automatically spins up a Postgres instance in Docker. No manual database setup required - just have Docker running.
### Test Structure
- `tests/` - Unit tests for individual components (mocked, fast)
- `test-int/` - Integration tests for real-world scenarios (no mocks, realistic)
- Both directories are covered by unified coverage reporting
- Benchmark tests in `test-int/` are marked with `@pytest.mark.benchmark`
- Slow tests are marked with `@pytest.mark.slow`
### Code Style Guidelines
- Line length: 100 characters max
- Python 3.12+ with full type annotations (uses type parameters and type aliases)

- Schema changes require Alembic migrations
- SQLite is used for indexing and full text search, files are source of truth
- Testing uses pytest with asyncio support (strict mode)
- Unit tests (`tests/`) use mocks when necessary; integration tests (`test-int/`) use real implementations
- By default, tests run against SQLite (fast, no Docker needed)
- Set `BASIC_MEMORY_TEST_POSTGRES=1` to run against Postgres (uses testcontainers - Docker required)
- Each test runs in a standalone environment with isolated database and tmp_path directory
- CI runs SQLite and Postgres tests in parallel for faster feedback
- Performance benchmarks are in `test-int/test_sync_performance_benchmark.py`
- Use pytest markers: `@pytest.mark.benchmark` for benchmarks, `@pytest.mark.slow` for slow tests
### Async Client Pattern (Important!)
**All MCP tools and CLI commands use the context manager pattern for HTTP clients:**
```python
from basic_memory.mcp.async_client import get_client
async def my_mcp_tool():
async with get_client() as client:
# Use client for API calls
response = await call_get(client, "/path")
return response
```
**Do NOT use:**
-`from basic_memory.mcp.async_client import client` (deprecated module-level client)
- ❌ Manual auth header management
-`inject_auth_header()` (deleted)
**Key principles:**
- Auth happens at client creation, not per-request
- Proper resource management via context managers
- Supports three modes: Local (ASGI), CLI cloud (HTTP + auth), Cloud app (factory injection)
- Factory pattern enables dependency injection for cloud consolidation
**For cloud app integration:**
```python
from basic_memory.mcp import async_client
# Set custom factory before importing tools
async_client.set_client_factory(your_custom_factory)
```
See SPEC-16 for full context manager refactor details.
- Test database uses in-memory SQLite
- Avoid creating mocks in tests in most circumstances.
- Each test runs in a standalone environment with in memory SQLite and tmp_file directory
- Do not use mocks in tests if possible. Tests run with an in memory sqlite db, so they are not needed. See fixtures in conftest.py

## Release and Version Management
Basic Memory uses `uv-dynamic-versioning` for automatic version management based on git tags:
### Version Types
- **Development versions**: Automatically generated from commits (e.g., `0.12.4.dev26+468a22f`)
- **Beta releases**: Created by tagging with beta suffixes (e.g., `v0.13.0b1`, `v0.13.0rc1`)
- **Stable releases**: Created by tagging with version numbers (e.g., `v0.13.0`)
### Release Workflows
#### Development Builds (Automatic)
- Triggered on every push to `main` branch
- Publishes dev versions like `0.12.4.dev26+468a22f` to PyPI
- Allows continuous testing of latest changes
- Users install with: `pip install basic-memory --pre --force-reinstall`
#### Beta/RC Releases (Manual)
- Create beta tag: `git tag v0.13.0b1 && git push origin v0.13.0b1`
- Automatically builds and publishes to PyPI as pre-release
- Users install with: `pip install basic-memory --pre`
- Use for milestone testing before stable release
#### Stable Releases (Automated)
- Use the automated release system: `just release v0.13.0`
- Includes comprehensive quality checks (lint, format, type-check, tests)
- Automatically updates version in `__init__.py`
- Creates git tag and pushes to GitHub
- Triggers GitHub Actions workflow for:
- PyPI publication
- Homebrew formula update (requires HOMEBREW_TOKEN secret)
**Manual method (legacy):**
- Create version tag: `git tag v0.13.0 && git push origin v0.13.0`
#### Homebrew Formula Updates
- Automatically triggered after successful PyPI release for **stable releases only**
- **Stable releases** (e.g., v0.13.7) automatically update the main `basic-memory` formula
- **Pre-releases** (dev/beta/rc) are NOT automatically updated - users must specify version manually
- Updates formula in `basicmachines-co/homebrew-basic-memory` repo
- Requires `HOMEBREW_TOKEN` secret in GitHub repository settings:
- Create a fine-grained Personal Access Token with `Contents: Read and Write` and `Actions: Read` scopes on `basicmachines-co/homebrew-basic-memory`
- Add as repository secret named `HOMEBREW_TOKEN` in `basicmachines-co/basic-memory`
- Formula updates include new version URL and SHA256 checksum
### For Development
- **Automated releases**: Use `just release v0.13.x` for stable releases and `just beta v0.13.0b1` for beta releases
- **Quality gates**: All releases require passing lint, format, type-check, and test suites
- **Version management**: Versions automatically derived from git tags via `uv-dynamic-versioning`
- **Configuration**: `pyproject.toml` uses `dynamic = ["version"]`
- **Release automation**: `__init__.py` updated automatically during release process
- **CI/CD**: GitHub Actions handles building and PyPI publication

## Testing Guidelines
### Test Structure
Basic Memory uses two test directories with unified coverage reporting:
- **`tests/`**: Unit tests that test individual components in isolation
- Fast execution with extensive mocking
- Test individual functions, classes, and modules
- Run with: `just test-unit` (no coverage, fast)
- **`test-int/`**: Integration tests that test real-world scenarios
- Test full workflows with real database and file operations
- Include performance benchmarks
- More realistic but slower than unit tests
- Run with: `just test-int` (no coverage, fast)
### Running Tests
```bash
# Run all tests with unified coverage report
just test
# Run only unit tests (fast iteration)
just test-unit
# Run only integration tests
just test-int
# Generate HTML coverage report
just coverage
# Run specific test
pytest tests/path/to/test_file.py::test_function_name
# Run tests excluding benchmarks
pytest -m "not benchmark"
# Run only benchmark tests
pytest -m benchmark test-int/test_sync_performance_benchmark.py
```
### Performance Benchmarks
The `test-int/test_sync_performance_benchmark.py` file contains performance benchmarks that measure sync and indexing speed:
- `test_benchmark_sync_100_files` - Small repository performance
- `test_benchmark_sync_500_files` - Medium repository performance
- `test_benchmark_sync_1000_files` - Large repository performance (marked slow)
- `test_benchmark_resync_no_changes` - Re-sync performance baseline
Run benchmarks with:
```bash
# Run all benchmarks (excluding slow ones)
pytest test-int/test_sync_performance_benchmark.py -v -m "benchmark and not slow"
# Run all benchmarks including slow ones
pytest test-int/test_sync_performance_benchmark.py -v -m benchmark
# Run specific benchmark
pytest test-int/test_sync_performance_benchmark.py::test_benchmark_sync_100_files -v
```
See `test-int/BENCHMARKS.md` for detailed benchmark documentation.
### Testing Best Practices
- **Coverage Target**: We aim for high test coverage for all code
- **Coverage Target**: We aim for 100% test coverage for all code
- **Test Framework**: Use pytest for unit and integration tests
- **Mocking**: Avoid mocking in integration tests; use sparingly in unit tests
- **Mocking**: Use pytest-mock for mocking dependencies only when necessary
- **Edge Cases**: Test both normal operation and edge cases
- **Database Testing**: Use in-memory SQLite for testing database operations
- **Fixtures**: Use async pytest fixtures for setup and teardown
- **Markers**: Use `@pytest.mark.benchmark` for benchmarks, `@pytest.mark.slow` for slow tests

## Logging
Basic Memory uses [Loguru](https://github.com/Delgan/loguru) for logging. The logging behavior varies by entry point:
| Entry Point | Default Behavior | Use Case |
|-------------|------------------|----------|
| CLI commands | File only | Prevents log output from interfering with command output |
| MCP server | File only | Stdout would corrupt the JSON-RPC protocol |
| API server | File (local) or stdout (cloud) | Docker/cloud deployments use stdout |
**Log file location:** `~/.basic-memory/basic-memory.log` (10MB rotation, 10 days retention)
### Environment Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `BASIC_MEMORY_LOG_LEVEL` | `INFO` | Log level: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR |
| `BASIC_MEMORY_CLOUD_MODE` | `false` | When `true`, API logs to stdout with structured context |
| `BASIC_MEMORY_ENV` | `dev` | Set to `test` for test mode (stderr only) |
### Examples
## Installation Options
### Stable Release
```bash
# Enable debug logging
BASIC_MEMORY_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG basic-memory sync
# View logs
tail -f ~/.basic-memory/basic-memory.log
# Cloud/Docker mode (stdout logging with structured context)
BASIC_MEMORY_CLOUD_MODE=true uvicorn basic_memory.api.app:app
pip install basic-memory
```
## Development
### Running Tests
Basic Memory supports dual database backends (SQLite and Postgres). By default, tests run against SQLite. Set `BASIC_MEMORY_TEST_POSTGRES=1` to run against Postgres (uses testcontainers - Docker required).
**Quick Start:**
### Beta/Pre-releases
```bash
# Run all tests against SQLite (default, fast)
just test-sqlite
# Run all tests against Postgres (uses testcontainers)
just test-postgres
# Run both SQLite and Postgres tests
just test
pip install basic-memory --pre
```
**Available Test Commands:**
- `just test` - Run all tests against both SQLite and Postgres
- `just test-sqlite` - Run all tests against SQLite (fast, no Docker needed)
- `just test-postgres` - Run all tests against Postgres (uses testcontainers)
- `just test-unit-sqlite` - Run unit tests against SQLite
- `just test-unit-postgres` - Run unit tests against Postgres
- `just test-int-sqlite` - Run integration tests against SQLite
- `just test-int-postgres` - Run integration tests against Postgres
- `just test-windows` - Run Windows-specific tests (auto-skips on other platforms)
- `just test-benchmark` - Run performance benchmark tests
**Postgres Testing:**
Postgres tests use [testcontainers](https://testcontainers-python.readthedocs.io/) which automatically spins up a Postgres instance in Docker. No manual database setup required - just have Docker running.
**Test Markers:**
Tests use pytest markers for selective execution:
- `windows` - Windows-specific database optimizations
- `benchmark` - Performance tests (excluded from default runs)
**Other Development Commands:**
### Development Builds
Development versions are automatically published on every commit to main with versions like `0.12.4.dev26+468a22f`:
```bash
just install # Install with dev dependencies
just lint # Run linting checks
just typecheck # Run type checking
just format # Format code with ruff
just check # Run all quality checks
just migration "msg" # Create database migration
pip install basic-memory --pre --force-reinstall
```
See the [justfile](justfile) for the complete list of development commands.
### Docker
Run Basic Memory in a container with volume mounting for your Obsidian vault:
```bash
# Clone and start with Docker Compose
git clone https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory.git
cd basic-memory
# Edit docker-compose.yml to point to your Obsidian vault
# Then start the container
docker-compose up -d
```
Or use Docker directly:
```bash
docker run -d \
--name basic-memory-server \
-v /path/to/your/obsidian-vault:/data/knowledge:rw \
-v basic-memory-config:/root/.basic-memory:rw \
ghcr.io/basicmachines-co/basic-memory:latest
```

# AI Assistant Guide for Basic Memory
This guide helps you, the AI assistant, use Basic Memory tools effectively when working with users. It covers reading, writing, and navigating knowledge through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
## Quick Reference
**Essential Tools:**
- `write_note()` - Create/update notes (primary tool)
- `read_note()` - Read existing content
- `search_notes()` - Find information
- `edit_note()` - Modify existing notes incrementally (v0.13.0)
- `move_note()` - Organize files with database consistency (v0.13.0)
**Project Management (v0.13.0):**
- `list_projects()` - Show available projects
- `switch_project()` - Change active project
- `get_current_project()` - Current project info
**Key Principles:**
1. **Build connections** - Rich knowledge graphs > isolated notes
2. **Ask permission** - "Would you like me to record this?"
3. **Use exact titles** - For accurate `[[WikiLinks]]`
4. **Leverage v0.13.0** - Edit incrementally, organize proactively, switch projects contextually
## Overview
Basic Memory allows you and users to record context in local Markdown files, building a rich knowledge base through natural conversations. The system automatically creates a semantic knowledge graph from simple text patterns.
- **Local-First**: All data is stored in plain text files on the user's computer
- **Real-Time**: Users see content updates immediately
- **Bi-Directional**: Both you and users can read and edit notes
- **Semantic**: Simple patterns create a structured knowledge graph
- **Persistent**: Knowledge persists across sessions and conversations
## The Importance of the Knowledge Graph
Basic Memory's value comes from connections between notes, not just the notes themselves. When writing notes, your primary goal should be creating a rich, interconnected knowledge graph.
When creating content, focus on:
1. **Increasing Semantic Density**: Add multiple observations and relations to each note
2. **Using Accurate References**: Aim to reference existing entities by their exact titles
3. **Creating Forward References**: Feel free to reference entities that don't exist yet - Basic Memory will resolve these when they're created later
4. **Creating Bidirectional Links**: When appropriate, connect entities from both directions
5. **Using Meaningful Categories**: Add semantic context with appropriate observation categories
6. **Choosing Precise Relations**: Use specific relation types that convey meaning
Remember that a knowledge graph with 10 heavily connected notes is more valuable than 20 isolated notes. Your job is to help build these connections.
## Core Tools Reference
### Essential Content Management
**Writing knowledge** (most important tool):
```
write_note(
title="Search Design",
content="# Search Design\n...",
folder="specs", # Optional
tags=["search", "design"], # v0.13.0: now searchable!
project="work-notes" # v0.13.0: target specific project
)
```
**Reading knowledge:**
```
read_note("Search Design") # By title
read_note("specs/search-design") # By path
read_note("memory://specs/search") # By memory URL
```
**Viewing notes as formatted artifacts (Claude Desktop):**
```
view_note("Search Design") # Creates readable artifact
view_note("specs/search-design") # By permalink
view_note("memory://specs/search") # By memory URL
```
**Incremental editing** (v0.13.0):
```
edit_note(
identifier="Search Design", # Must be EXACT title/permalink (strict matching)
operation="append", # append, prepend, find_replace, replace_section
content="\n## New Section\nContent here..."
)
```
**⚠️ Important:** `edit_note` requires exact identifiers (no fuzzy matching). Use `search_notes()` first if uncertain.
**File organization** (v0.13.0):
```
move_note(
identifier="Old Note", # Must be EXACT title/permalink (strict matching)
destination="archive/old-note.md" # Folders created automatically
)
```
**⚠️ Important:** `move_note` requires exact identifiers (no fuzzy matching). Use `search_notes()` first if uncertain.
### Project Management (v0.13.0)
```
list_projects() # Show available projects
switch_project("work-notes") # Change active project
get_current_project() # Current project info
```
### Search & Discovery
```
search_notes("authentication system") # v0.13.0: includes frontmatter tags
build_context("memory://specs/search") # Follow knowledge graph connections
recent_activity(timeframe="1 week") # Check what's been updated
```
## memory:// URLs Explained
Basic Memory uses a special URL format to reference entities in the knowledge graph:
- `memory://title` - Reference by title
- `memory://folder/title` - Reference by folder and title
- `memory://permalink` - Reference by permalink
- `memory://path/relation_type/*` - Follow all relations of a specific type
- `memory://path/*/target` - Find all entities with relations to target
## Semantic Markdown Format
Knowledge is encoded in standard markdown using simple patterns:
**Observations** - Facts about an entity:
```markdown
- [category] This is an observation #tag1 #tag2 (optional context)
```
**Relations** - Links between entities:
```markdown
- relation_type [[Target Entity]] (optional context)
```
**Common Categories & Relation Types:**
- Categories: `[idea]`, `[decision]`, `[question]`, `[fact]`, `[requirement]`, `[technique]`, `[recipe]`, `[preference]`
- Relations: `relates_to`, `implements`, `requires`, `extends`, `part_of`, `pairs_with`, `inspired_by`, `originated_from`
## When to Record Context
**Always consider recording context when**:
1. Users make decisions or reach conclusions
2. Important information emerges during conversation
3. Multiple related topics are discussed
4. The conversation contains information that might be useful later
5. Plans, tasks, or action items are mentioned
**Protocol for recording context**:
1. Identify valuable information in the conversation
2. Ask the user: "Would you like me to record our discussion about [topic] in Basic Memory?"
3. If they agree, use `write_note` to capture the information
4. If they decline, continue without recording
5. Let the user know when information has been recorded: "I've saved our discussion about [topic] to Basic Memory."
## Understanding User Interactions
Users will interact with Basic Memory in patterns like:
1. **Creating knowledge**:
```
Human: "Let's write up what we discussed about search."
You: I'll create a note capturing our discussion about the search functionality.
[Use write_note() to record the conversation details]
```
2. **Referencing existing knowledge**:
```
Human: "Take a look at memory://specs/search"
You: I'll examine that information.
[Use build_context() to gather related information]
[Then read_note() to access specific content]
```
3. **Finding information**:
```
Human: "What were our decisions about auth?"
You: Let me find that information for you.
[Use search_notes() to find relevant notes]
[Then build_context() to understand connections]
```
4. **Editing existing notes (v0.13.0)**:
```
Human: "Add a section about deployment to my API documentation"
You: I'll add that section to your existing documentation.
[Use edit_note() with operation="append" to add new content]
```
5. **Project management (v0.13.0)**:
```
Human: "Switch to my work project and show recent activity"
You: I'll switch to your work project and check what's been updated recently.
[Use switch_project() then recent_activity()]
```
6. **File organization (v0.13.0)**:
```
Human: "Move my old meeting notes to the archive folder"
You: I'll organize those notes for you.
[Use move_note() to relocate files with database consistency]
```
## Key Things to Remember
1. **Files are Truth**
- All knowledge lives in local files on the user's computer
- Users can edit files outside your interaction
- Changes need to be synced by the user (usually automatic)
- Always verify information is current with `recent_activity()`
2. **Building Context Effectively**
- Start with specific entities
- Follow meaningful relations
- Check recent changes
- Build context incrementally
- Combine related information
3. **Writing Knowledge Wisely**
- Same title+folder overwrites existing notes
- Structure with clear headings and semantic markup
- Use tags for searchability (v0.13.0: frontmatter tags indexed)
- Keep files organized in logical folders
4. **Leverage v0.13.0 Features**
- **Edit incrementally**: Use `edit_note()` for small changes vs rewriting
- **Switch projects**: Change context when user mentions different work areas
- **Organize proactively**: Move old content to archive folders
- **Cross-project operations**: Create notes in specific projects while maintaining context
## Common Knowledge Patterns
### Capturing Decisions
```markdown
---
title: Coffee Brewing Methods
tags: [coffee, brewing, pour-over, techniques] # v0.13.0: Now searchable!
---
# Coffee Brewing Methods
## Context
I've experimented with various brewing methods including French press, pour over, and espresso.
## Decision
Pour over is my preferred method for light to medium roasts because it highlights subtle flavors and offers more control over the extraction.
## Observations
- [technique] Blooming the coffee grounds for 30 seconds improves extraction #brewing
- [preference] Water temperature between 195-205°F works best #temperature
- [equipment] Gooseneck kettle provides better control of water flow #tools
- [timing] Total brew time of 3-4 minutes produces optimal extraction #process
## Relations
- pairs_with [[Light Roast Beans]]
- contrasts_with [[French Press Method]]
- requires [[Proper Grinding Technique]]
- part_of [[Morning Coffee Routine]]
```
### Recording Project Structure
```markdown
# Garden Planning
## Overview
This document outlines the garden layout and planting strategy for this season.
## Observations
- [structure] Raised beds in south corner for sun exposure #layout
- [structure] Drip irrigation system installed for efficiency #watering
- [pattern] Companion planting used to deter pests naturally #technique
## Relations
- contains [[Vegetable Section]]
- contains [[Herb Garden]]
- implements [[Organic Gardening Principles]]
```
### Technical Discussions
```markdown
# Recipe Improvement Discussion
## Key Points
Discussed strategies for improving the chocolate chip cookie recipe.
## Observations
- [issue] Cookies spread too thin when baked at 350°F #texture
- [solution] Chilling dough for 24 hours improves flavor and reduces spreading #technique
- [decision] Will use brown butter instead of regular butter #flavor
## Relations
- improves [[Basic Cookie Recipe]]
- inspired_by [[Bakery-Style Cookies]]
- pairs_with [[Homemade Ice Cream]]
```
## v0.13.0 Workflow Examples
### Multi-Project Conversations
**User:** "I need to update my work documentation and also add a personal recipe note."
**Workflow:**
1. `list_projects()` - Check available projects
2. `write_note(title="Sprint Planning", project="work-notes")` - Work content
3. `write_note(title="Weekend Recipes", project="personal")` - Personal content
### Incremental Note Building
**User:** "Add a troubleshooting section to my setup guide."
**Workflow:**
1. `edit_note(identifier="Setup Guide", operation="append", content="\n## Troubleshooting\n...")`
**User:** "Update the authentication section in my API docs."
**Workflow:**
1. `edit_note(identifier="API Documentation", operation="replace_section", section="## Authentication")`
### Smart File Organization
**User:** "My notes are getting messy in the main folder."
**Workflow:**
1. `move_note("Old Meeting Notes", "archive/2024/old-meetings.md")`
2. `move_note("Project Notes", "projects/client-work/notes.md")`
### Creating Effective Relations
When creating relations:
1. **Reference existing entities** by their exact title: `[[Exact Title]]`
2. **Create forward references** to entities that don't exist yet - they'll be linked automatically when created
3. **Search first** to find existing entities to reference
4. **Use meaningful relation types**: `implements`, `requires`, `part_of` vs generic `relates_to`
**Example workflow:**
1. `search_notes("travel")` to find existing travel-related notes
2. Reference found entities: `- part_of [[Japan Travel Guide]]`
3. Add forward references: `- located_in [[Tokyo]]` (even if Tokyo note doesn't exist yet)
## Common Issues & Solutions
**Missing Content:**
- Try `search_notes()` with broader terms if `read_note()` fails
- Use fuzzy matching: search for partial titles
**Forward References:**
- These are normal! Basic Memory links them automatically when target notes are created
- Inform users: "I've created forward references that will be linked when you create those notes"
**Sync Issues:**
- If information seems outdated, suggest `basic-memory sync`
- Use `recent_activity()` to check if content is current
**Strict Mode for Edit/Move Operations:**
- `edit_note()` and `move_note()` require **exact identifiers** (no fuzzy matching for safety)
- If identifier not found: use `search_notes()` first to find the exact title/permalink
- Error messages will guide you to find correct identifiers
- Example workflow:
```
# ❌ This might fail if identifier isn't exact
edit_note("Meeting Note", "append", "content")
# ✅ Safe approach: search first, then use exact result
results = search_notes("meeting")
edit_note("Meeting Notes 2024", "append", "content") # Use exact title from search
```
## Best Practices
1. **Proactively Record Context**
- Offer to capture important discussions
- Record decisions, rationales, and conclusions
- Link to related topics
- Ask for permission first: "Would you like me to save our discussion about [topic]?"
- Confirm when complete: "I've saved our discussion to Basic Memory"
2. **Create a Rich Semantic Graph**
- **Add meaningful observations**: Include at least 3-5 categorized observations in each note
- **Create deliberate relations**: Connect each note to at least 2-3 related entities
- **Use existing entities**: Before creating a new relation, search for existing entities
- **Verify wikilinks**: When referencing `[[Entity]]`, use exact titles of existing notes
- **Check accuracy**: Use `search_notes()` or `recent_activity()` to confirm entity titles
- **Use precise relation types**: Choose specific relation types that convey meaning (e.g., "implements" instead of "relates_to")
- **Consider bidirectional relations**: When appropriate, create inverse relations in both entities
3. **Structure Content Thoughtfully**
- Use clear, descriptive titles
- Organize with logical sections (Context, Decision, Implementation, etc.)
- Include relevant context and background
- Add semantic observations with appropriate categories
- Use a consistent format for similar types of notes
- Balance detail with conciseness
4. **Navigate Knowledge Effectively**
- Start with specific searches
- Follow relation paths
- Combine information from multiple sources
- Verify information is current
- Build a complete picture before responding
5. **Help Users Maintain Their Knowledge**
- Suggest organizing related topics
- Identify potential duplicates
- Recommend adding relations between topics
- Offer to create summaries of scattered information
- Suggest potential missing relations: "I notice this might relate to [topic], would you like me to add that connection?"

# 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.

# Basic Memory Cloud CLI Guide
The Basic Memory Cloud CLI provides seamless integration between local and cloud knowledge bases using **project-scoped synchronization**. Each project can optionally sync with the cloud, giving you fine-grained control over what syncs and where.
## Overview
The cloud CLI enables you to:
- **Toggle cloud mode** - All regular `bm` commands work with cloud when enabled
- **Project-scoped sync** - Each project independently manages its sync configuration
- **Explicit operations** - Sync only what you want, when you want
- **Bidirectional sync** - Keep local and cloud in sync with rclone bisync
- **Offline access** - Work locally, sync when ready
## Prerequisites
Before using Basic Memory Cloud, you need:
- **Active Subscription**: An active Basic Memory Cloud subscription is required to access cloud features
- **Subscribe**: Visit [https://basicmemory.com/subscribe](https://basicmemory.com/subscribe) to sign up
If you attempt to log in without an active subscription, you'll receive a "Subscription Required" error with a link to subscribe.
## Architecture: Project-Scoped Sync
### The Problem
**Old approach (SPEC-8):** All projects lived in a single `~/basic-memory-cloud-sync/` directory. This caused:
- ❌ Directory conflicts between mount and bisync
- ❌ Auto-discovery creating phantom projects
- ❌ Confusion about what syncs and when
- ❌ All-or-nothing sync (couldn't sync just one project)
**New approach (SPEC-20):** Each project independently configures sync.
### How It Works
**Projects can exist in three states:**
1. **Cloud-only** - Project exists on cloud, no local copy
2. **Cloud + Local (synced)** - Project has a local working directory that syncs
3. **Local-only** - Project exists locally (when cloud mode is disabled)
**Example:**
```bash
# You have 3 projects on cloud:
# - research: wants local sync at ~/Documents/research
# - work: wants local sync at ~/work-notes
# - temp: cloud-only, no local sync needed
bm project add research --local-path ~/Documents/research
bm project add work --local-path ~/work-notes
bm project add temp # No local sync
# Now you can sync individually (after initial --resync):
bm project bisync --name research
bm project bisync --name work
# temp stays cloud-only
```
**What happens under the covers:**
- Config stores `cloud_projects` dict mapping project names to local paths
- Each project gets its own bisync state in `~/.basic-memory/bisync-state/{project}/`
- Rclone syncs using single remote: `basic-memory-cloud`
- Projects can live anywhere on your filesystem, not forced into sync directory
## Quick Start
### 1. Enable Cloud Mode
Authenticate and enable cloud mode:
```bash
bm cloud login
```
**What this does:**
1. Opens browser to Basic Memory Cloud authentication page
2. Stores authentication token in `~/.basic-memory/auth/token`
3. **Enables cloud mode** - all CLI commands now work against cloud
4. Validates your subscription status
**Result:** All `bm project`, `bm tools` commands now work with cloud.
### 2. Set Up Sync
Install rclone and configure credentials:
```bash
bm cloud setup
```
**What this does:**
1. Installs rclone automatically (if needed)
2. Fetches your tenant information from cloud
3. Generates scoped S3 credentials for sync
4. Configures single rclone remote: `basic-memory-cloud`
**Result:** You're ready to sync projects. No sync directories created yet - those come with project setup.
### 3. Add Projects with Sync
Create projects with optional local sync paths:
```bash
# Create cloud project without local sync
bm project add research
# Create cloud project WITH local sync
bm project add research --local-path ~/Documents/research
# Or configure sync for existing project
bm project sync-setup research ~/Documents/research
```
**What happens under the covers:**
When you add a project with `--local-path`:
1. Project created on cloud at `/app/data/research`
2. Local path stored in config: `cloud_projects.research.local_path = "~/Documents/research"`
3. Local directory created if it doesn't exist
4. Bisync state directory created at `~/.basic-memory/bisync-state/research/`
**Result:** Project is ready to sync, but no files synced yet.
### 4. Sync Your Project
Establish the initial sync baseline. **Best practice:** Always preview with `--dry-run` first:
```bash
# Step 1: Preview the initial sync (recommended)
bm project bisync --name research --resync --dry-run
# Step 2: If all looks good, run the actual sync
bm project bisync --name research --resync
```
**What happens under the covers:**
1. Rclone reads from `~/Documents/research` (local)
2. Connects to `basic-memory-cloud:bucket-name/app/data/research` (remote)
3. Creates bisync state files in `~/.basic-memory/bisync-state/research/`
4. Syncs files bidirectionally with settings:
- `conflict_resolve=newer` (most recent wins)
- `max_delete=25` (safety limit)
- Respects `.bmignore` patterns
**Result:** Local and cloud are in sync. Baseline established.
**Why `--resync`?** This is an rclone requirement for the first bisync run. It establishes the initial state that future syncs will compare against. After the first sync, never use `--resync` unless you need to force a new baseline.
See: https://rclone.org/bisync/#resync
```
--resync
This will effectively make both Path1 and Path2 filesystems contain a matching superset of all files. By default, Path2 files that do not exist in Path1 will be copied to Path1, and the process will then copy the Path1 tree to Path2.
```
### 5. Subsequent Syncs
After the first sync, just run bisync without `--resync`:
```bash
bm project bisync --name research
```
**What happens:**
1. Rclone compares local and cloud states
2. Syncs changes in both directions
3. Auto-resolves conflicts (newer file wins)
4. Updates `last_sync` timestamp in config
**Result:** Changes flow both ways - edit locally or in cloud, both stay in sync.
### 6. Verify Setup
Check status:
```bash
bm cloud status
```
You should see:
- `Mode: Cloud (enabled)`
- `Cloud instance is healthy`
- Instructions for project sync commands
## Working with Projects
### Understanding Project Commands
**Key concept:** When cloud mode is enabled, use regular `bm project` commands (not `bm cloud project`).
```bash
# In cloud mode:
bm project list # Lists cloud projects
bm project add research # Creates cloud project
# In local mode:
bm project list # Lists local projects
bm project add research ~/Documents/research # Creates local project
```
### Creating Projects
**Use case 1: Cloud-only project (no local sync)**
```bash
bm project add temp-notes
```
**What this does:**
- Creates project on cloud at `/app/data/temp-notes`
- No local directory created
- No sync configuration
**Result:** Project exists on cloud, accessible via MCP tools, but no local copy.
**Use case 2: Cloud project with local sync**
```bash
bm project add research --local-path ~/Documents/research
```
**What this does:**
- Creates project on cloud at `/app/data/research`
- Creates local directory `~/Documents/research`
- Stores sync config in `~/.basic-memory/config.json`
- Prepares for bisync (but doesn't sync yet)
**Result:** Project ready to sync. Run `bm project bisync --name research --resync` to establish baseline.
**Use case 3: Add sync to existing cloud project**
```bash
# Project already exists on cloud
bm project sync-setup research ~/Documents/research
```
**What this does:**
- Updates existing project's sync configuration
- Creates local directory
- Prepares for bisync
**Result:** Existing cloud project now has local sync path. Run bisync to pull files down.
### Listing Projects
View all projects:
```bash
bm project list
```
**What you see:**
- All projects in cloud (when cloud mode enabled)
- Default project marked
- Project paths shown
**Future:** Will show sync status (synced/not synced, last sync time).
## File Synchronization
### Understanding the Sync Commands
**There are three sync-related commands:**
1. `bm project sync` - One-way: local → cloud (make cloud match local)
2. `bm project bisync` - Two-way: local ↔ cloud (recommended)
3. `bm project check` - Verify files match (no changes)
### One-Way Sync: Local → Cloud
**Use case:** You made changes locally and want to push to cloud (overwrite cloud).
```bash
bm project sync --name research
```
**What happens:**
1. Reads files from `~/Documents/research` (local)
2. Uses rclone sync to make cloud identical to local
3. Respects `.bmignore` patterns
4. Shows progress bar
**Result:** Cloud now matches local exactly. Any cloud-only changes are overwritten.
**When to use:**
- You know local is the source of truth
- You want to force cloud to match local
- You don't care about cloud changes
### Two-Way Sync: Local ↔ Cloud (Recommended)
**Use case:** You edit files both locally and in cloud UI, want both to stay in sync.
```bash
# First time - establish baseline
bm project bisync --name research --resync
# Subsequent syncs
bm project bisync --name research
```
**What happens:**
1. Compares local and cloud states using bisync metadata
2. Syncs changes in both directions
3. Auto-resolves conflicts (newer file wins)
4. Detects excessive deletes and fails safely (max 25 files)
**Conflict resolution example:**
```bash
# Edit locally
echo "Local change" > ~/Documents/research/notes.md
# Edit same file in cloud UI
# Cloud now has: "Cloud change"
# Run bisync
bm project bisync --name research
# Result: Newer file wins (based on modification time)
# If cloud was more recent, cloud version kept
# If local was more recent, local version kept
```
**When to use:**
- Default workflow for most users
- You edit in multiple places
- You want automatic conflict resolution
### Verify Sync Integrity
**Use case:** Check if local and cloud match without making changes.
```bash
bm project check --name research
```
**What happens:**
1. Compares file checksums between local and cloud
2. Reports differences
3. No files transferred
**Result:** Shows which files differ. Run bisync to sync them.
```bash
# One-way check (faster)
bm project check --name research --one-way
```
### Preview Changes (Dry Run)
**Use case:** See what would change without actually syncing.
```bash
bm project bisync --name research --dry-run
```
**What happens:**
1. Runs bisync logic
2. Shows what would be transferred/deleted
3. No actual changes made
**Result:** Safe preview of sync operations.
### Advanced: List Remote Files
**Use case:** See what files exist on cloud without syncing.
```bash
# List all files in project
bm project ls --name research
# List files in subdirectory
bm project ls --name research --path subfolder
```
**What happens:**
1. Connects to cloud via rclone
2. Lists files in remote project path
3. No files transferred
**Result:** See cloud file listing.
## Multiple Projects
### Syncing Multiple Projects
**Use case:** You have several projects with local sync, want to sync all at once.
```bash
# Setup multiple projects
bm project add research --local-path ~/Documents/research
bm project add work --local-path ~/work-notes
bm project add personal --local-path ~/personal
# Establish baselines
bm project bisync --name research --resync
bm project bisync --name work --resync
bm project bisync --name personal --resync
# Daily workflow: sync everything
bm project bisync --name research
bm project bisync --name work
bm project bisync --name personal
```
**Future:** `--all` flag will sync all configured projects:
```bash
bm project bisync --all # Coming soon
```
### Mixed Usage
**Use case:** Some projects sync, some stay cloud-only.
```bash
# Projects with sync
bm project add research --local-path ~/Documents/research
bm project add work --local-path ~/work
# Cloud-only projects
bm project add archive
bm project add temp-notes
# Sync only the configured ones
bm project bisync --name research
bm project bisync --name work
# Archive and temp-notes stay cloud-only
```
**Result:** Fine-grained control over what syncs.
## Disable Cloud Mode
Return to local mode:
```bash
bm cloud logout
```
**What this does:**
1. Disables cloud mode in config
2. All commands now work locally
3. Auth token remains (can re-enable with login)
**Result:** All `bm` commands work with local projects again.
## Filter Configuration
### Understanding .bmignore
**The problem:** You don't want to sync everything (e.g., `.git`, `node_modules`, database files).
**The solution:** `.bmignore` file with gitignore-style patterns.
**Location:** `~/.basic-memory/.bmignore`
**Default patterns:**
```gitignore
# Version control
.git/**
# Python
__pycache__/**
*.pyc
.venv/**
venv/**
# Node.js
node_modules/**
# Basic Memory internals
memory.db/**
memory.db-shm/**
memory.db-wal/**
config.json/**
watch-status.json/**
.bmignore.rclone/**
# OS files
.DS_Store/**
Thumbs.db/**
# Environment files
.env/**
.env.local/**
```
**How it works:**
1. On first sync, `.bmignore` created with defaults
2. Patterns converted to rclone filter format (`.bmignore.rclone`)
3. Rclone uses filters during sync
4. Same patterns used by all projects
**Customizing:**
```bash
# Edit patterns
code ~/.basic-memory/.bmignore
# Add custom patterns
echo "*.tmp/**" >> ~/.basic-memory/.bmignore
# Next sync uses updated patterns
bm project bisync --name research
```
## Troubleshooting
### Authentication Issues
**Problem:** "Authentication failed" or "Invalid token"
**Solution:** Re-authenticate:
```bash
bm cloud logout
bm cloud login
```
### Subscription Issues
**Problem:** "Subscription Required" error
**Solution:**
1. Visit subscribe URL shown in error
2. Sign up for subscription
3. Run `bm cloud login` again
**Note:** Access is immediate when subscription becomes active.
### Bisync Initialization
**Problem:** "First bisync requires --resync"
**Explanation:** Bisync needs a baseline state before it can sync changes.
**Solution:**
```bash
bm project bisync --name research --resync
```
**What this does:**
- Establishes initial sync state
- Creates baseline in `~/.basic-memory/bisync-state/research/`
- Syncs all files bidirectionally
**Result:** Future syncs work without `--resync`.
### Empty Directory Issues
**Problem:** "Empty prior Path1 listing. Cannot sync to an empty directory"
**Explanation:** Rclone bisync doesn't work well with completely empty directories. It needs at least one file to establish a baseline.
**Solution:** Add at least one file before running `--resync`:
```bash
# Create a placeholder file
echo "# Research Notes" > ~/Documents/research/README.md
# Now run bisync
bm project bisync --name research --resync
```
**Why this happens:** Bisync creates listing files that track the state of each side. When both directories are completely empty, these listing files are considered invalid by rclone.
**Best practice:** Always have at least one file (like a README.md) in your project directory before setting up sync.
### Bisync State Corruption
**Problem:** Bisync fails with errors about corrupted state or listing files
**Explanation:** Sometimes bisync state can become inconsistent (e.g., after mixing dry-run and actual runs, or after manual file operations).
**Solution:** Clear bisync state and re-establish baseline:
```bash
# Clear bisync state
bm project bisync-reset research
# Re-establish baseline
bm project bisync --name research --resync
```
**What this does:**
- Removes all bisync metadata from `~/.basic-memory/bisync-state/research/`
- Forces fresh baseline on next `--resync`
- Safe operation (doesn't touch your files)
**Note:** This command also runs automatically when you remove a project to clean up state directories.
### Too Many Deletes
**Problem:** "Error: max delete limit (25) exceeded"
**Explanation:** Bisync detected you're about to delete more than 25 files. This is a safety check to prevent accidents.
**Solution 1:** Review what you're deleting, then force resync:
```bash
# Check what would be deleted
bm project bisync --name research --dry-run
# If correct, establish new baseline
bm project bisync --name research --resync
```
**Solution 2:** Use one-way sync if you know local is correct:
```bash
bm project sync --name research
```
### Project Not Configured for Sync
**Problem:** "Project research has no local_sync_path configured"
**Explanation:** Project exists on cloud but has no local sync path.
**Solution:**
```bash
bm project sync-setup research ~/Documents/research
bm project bisync --name research --resync
```
### Connection Issues
**Problem:** "Cannot connect to cloud instance"
**Solution:** Check status:
```bash
bm cloud status
```
If instance is down, wait a few minutes and retry.
## Security
- **Authentication**: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE flow
- **Tokens**: Stored securely in `~/.basic-memory/basic-memory-cloud.json`
- **Transport**: All data encrypted in transit (HTTPS)
- **Credentials**: Scoped S3 credentials (read-write to your tenant only)
- **Isolation**: Your data isolated from other tenants
- **Ignore patterns**: Sensitive files automatically excluded via `.bmignore`
## Command Reference
### Cloud Mode Management
```bash
bm cloud login # Authenticate and enable cloud mode
bm cloud logout # Disable cloud mode
bm cloud status # Check cloud mode and instance health
```
### Setup
```bash
bm cloud setup # Install rclone and configure credentials
```
### Project Management
When cloud mode is enabled:
```bash
bm project list # List cloud projects
bm project add <name> # Create cloud project (no sync)
bm project add <name> --local-path <path> # Create with local sync
bm project sync-setup <name> <path> # Add sync to existing project
bm project rm <name> # Delete project
```
### File Synchronization
```bash
# One-way sync (local → cloud)
bm project sync --name <project>
bm project sync --name <project> --dry-run
bm project sync --name <project> --verbose
# Two-way sync (local ↔ cloud) - Recommended
bm project bisync --name <project> # After first --resync
bm project bisync --name <project> --resync # First time / force baseline
bm project bisync --name <project> --dry-run
bm project bisync --name <project> --verbose
# Integrity check
bm project check --name <project>
bm project check --name <project> --one-way
# List remote files
bm project ls --name <project>
bm project ls --name <project> --path <subpath>
```
## Summary
**Basic Memory Cloud uses project-scoped sync:**
1. **Enable cloud mode** - `bm cloud login`
2. **Install rclone** - `bm cloud setup`
3. **Add projects with sync** - `bm project add research --local-path ~/Documents/research`
4. **Preview first sync** - `bm project bisync --name research --resync --dry-run`
5. **Establish baseline** - `bm project bisync --name research --resync`
6. **Daily workflow** - `bm project bisync --name research`
**Key benefits:**
- ✅ Each project independently syncs (or doesn't)
- ✅ Projects can live anywhere on disk
- ✅ Explicit sync operations (no magic)
- ✅ Safe by design (max delete limits, conflict resolution)
- ✅ Full offline access (work locally, sync when ready)
**Future enhancements:**
- `--all` flag to sync all configured projects
- Project list showing sync status
- Watch mode for automatic sync

# SPEC-1: Specification-Driven Development Process
## Why
We're implementing specification-driven development to solve the complexity and circular refactoring issues in our web development process.
Instead of getting lost in framework details and type gymnastics, we start with clear specifications that drive implementation.
The default approach of adhoc development with AI agents tends to result in:
- Circular refactoring cycles
- Fighting framework complexity
- Lost context between sessions
- Unclear requirements and scope
## What
This spec defines our process for using basic-memory as the specification engine to build basic-memory-cloud.
We're creating a recursive development pattern where basic-memory manages the specs that drive the development of basic-memory-cloud.
**Affected Areas:**
- All future component development
- Architecture decisions
- Agent collaboration workflows
- Knowledge management and context preservation
## How (High Level)
### Specification Structure
Name: Spec names should be numbered sequentially, followed by a description eg. `SPEC-X - Simple Description.md`.
See: [[Spec-2: Slash Commands Reference]]
Every spec is a complete thought containing:
- **Why**: The reasoning and problem being solved
- **What**: What is affected or changed
- **How**: High-level approach to implementation
- **How to Evaluate**: Testing/validation procedure
- Additional context as needed
### Living Specification Format
Specifications are **living documents** that evolve throughout implementation:
**Progress Tracking:**
- **Completed items**: Use ✅ checkmark emoji for implemented features
- **Pending items**: Use `- [ ]` GitHub-style checkboxes for remaining tasks
- **In-progress items**: Use `- [x]` when work is actively underway
**Status Philosophy:**
- **Avoid static status headers** like "COMPLETE" or "IN PROGRESS" that become stale
- **Use checklists within content** to show granular implementation progress
- **Keep specs informative** while providing clear progress visibility
- **Update continuously** as understanding and implementation evolve
**Example Format:**
```markdown
### ComponentName
- ✅ Basic functionality implemented
- ✅ Props and events defined
- - [ ] Add sorting controls
- - [ ] Improve accessibility
- - [x] Currently implementing responsive design
```
This creates **git-friendly progress tracking** where `[ ]` easily becomes `[x]` or ✅ when completed, and specs remain valuable throughout the development lifecycle.
## Claude Code
We will leverage Claude Code capabilities to make the process semi-automated.
- Slash commands: define repeatable steps in the process (create spec, implement, review, etc)
- Agents: define roles to carry out instructions (front end developer, baskend developer, etc)
- MCP tools: enable agents to implement specs via actions (write code, test, etc)
### Workflow
1. **Create**: Write spec as complete thought in `/specs` folder
2. **Discuss**: Iterate and refine through agent collaboration
3. **Implement**: Hand spec to appropriate specialist agent
4. **Validate**: Review implementation against spec criteria
5. **Document**: Update spec with learnings and decisions
### Slash Commands
Claude slash commands are used to manage the flow.
These are simple instructions to help make the process uniform.
They can be updated and refined as needed.
- `/spec create [name]` - Create new specification
- `/spec status` - Show current spec states
- `/spec implement [name]` - Hand to appropriate agent
- `/spec review [name]` - Validate implementation
### Agent Orchestration
Agents are defined with clear roles, for instance:
- **system-architect**: Creates high-level specs, ADRs, architectural decisions
- **vue-developer**: Component specs, UI patterns, frontend architecture
- **python-developer**: Implementation specs, technical details, backend logic
-
- Each agent reads/updates specs through basic-memory tools.
## How to Evaluate
### Success Criteria
- Specs provide clear, actionable guidance for implementation
- Reduced circular refactoring and scope creep
- Persistent context across development sessions
- Clean separation between "what/why" and implementation details
- Specs record a history of what happened and why for historical context
### Testing Procedure
1. Create a spec for an existing problematic component
2. Have an agent implement following only the spec
3. Compare result quality and development speed vs. ad-hoc approach
4. Measure context preservation across sessions
5. Evaluate spec clarity and completeness
### Metrics
- Time from spec to working implementation
- Number of refactoring cycles required
- Agent understanding of requirements
- Spec reusability for similar components
## Notes
- Start simple: specs are just complete thoughts, not heavy processes
- Use basic-memory's knowledge graph to link specs, decisions, components
- Let the process evolve naturally based on what works
- Focus on solving the actual problem: Manage complexity in development
## Observations
- [problem] Web development without clear goals and documentation circular refactoring cycles #complexity
- [solution] Specification-driven development reduces scope creep and context loss #process-improvement
- [pattern] basic-memory as specification engine creates recursive development loop #meta-development
- [workflow] Five-step process: Create → Discuss → Implement → Validate → Document #methodology
- [tool] Slash commands provide uniform process automation #automation
- [agent-pattern] Three specialized agents handle different implementation domains #specialization
- [success-metric] Time from spec to working implementation measures process efficiency #measurement
- [learning] Process should evolve naturally based on what works in practice #adaptation
- [format] Living specifications use checklists for progress tracking instead of static status headers #documentation
- [evolution] Specs evolve throughout implementation maintaining value as working documents #continuous-improvement

# SPEC-10: Unified Deployment Workflow and Event Tracking
## Why
We replaced a complex multi-workflow system with DBOS orchestration that was proving to be more trouble than it was worth. The previous architecture had four separate workflows (`tenant_provisioning`, `tenant_update`, `tenant_deployment`, `tenant_undeploy`) with overlapping logic, complex state management, and fragmented event tracking. DBOS added unnecessary complexity without providing sufficient value, leading to harder debugging and maintenance.
**Problems Solved:**
- **Framework Complexity**: DBOS configuration overhead and fighting framework limitations
- **Code Duplication**: Multiple workflows implementing similar operations with duplicate logic
- **Poor Observability**: Fragmented event tracking across workflow boundaries
- **Maintenance Overhead**: Complex orchestration for fundamentally simple operations
- **Debugging Difficulty**: Framework abstractions hiding simple Python stack traces
## What
This spec documents the architectural simplification that consolidates tenant lifecycle management into a unified system with comprehensive event tracking.
**Affected Areas:**
- Tenant deployment workflows (provisioning, updates, undeploying)
- Event sourcing and workflow tracking infrastructure
- API endpoints for tenant operations
- Database schema for workflow and event correlation
- Integration testing for tenant lifecycle operations
**Key Changes:**
- **Removed DBOS entirely** - eliminated framework dependency and complexity
- **Consolidated 4 workflows → 2 unified deployment workflows (deploy/undeploy)**
- **Added workflow tracking system** with complete event correlation
- **Simplified API surface** - single `/deploy` endpoint handles all scenarios
- **Enhanced observability** through event sourcing with workflow grouping
## How (High Level)
### Architectural Philosophy
**Embrace simplicity over framework complexity** - use well-structured Python with proper database design instead of complex orchestration frameworks.
### Core Components
#### 1. Unified Deployment Workflow
```python
class TenantDeploymentWorkflow:
async def deploy_tenant_workflow(self, tenant_id: str, workflow_id: UUID, image_tag: str = None):
# Single workflow handles both initial provisioning AND updates
# Each step is idempotent and handles its own error recovery
# Database transactions provide the durability we need
await self.start_deployment_step(workflow_id, tenant_uuid, image_tag)
await self.create_fly_app_step(workflow_id, tenant_uuid)
await self.create_bucket_step(workflow_id, tenant_uuid)
await self.deploy_machine_step(workflow_id, tenant_uuid, image_tag)
await self.complete_deployment_step(workflow_id, tenant_uuid, image_tag, deployment_time)
```
**Key Benefits:**
- **Handles both provisioning and updates** in single workflow
- **Idempotent operations** - safe to retry any step
- **Clean error handling** via simple Python exceptions
- **Resumable** - can restart from any failed step
#### 2. Workflow Tracking System
**Database Schema:**
```sql
CREATE TABLE workflow (
id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
workflow_type VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, -- 'tenant_deployment', 'tenant_undeploy'
tenant_id UUID REFERENCES tenant(id),
status VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'running', -- 'running', 'completed', 'failed'
workflow_metadata JSONB DEFAULT '{}' -- image_tag, etc.
);
ALTER TABLE event ADD COLUMN workflow_id UUID REFERENCES workflow(id);
```
**Event Correlation:**
- Every workflow operation generates events tagged with `workflow_id`
- Complete audit trail from workflow start to completion
- Events grouped by workflow for easy reconstruction of operations
#### 3. Parameter Standardization
All workflow methods follow consistent signature pattern:
```python
async def method_name(self, session: AsyncSession, workflow_id: UUID | None, tenant_id: UUID, ...)
```
**Benefits:**
- **Consistent event tagging** - all events properly correlated
- **Clear method contracts** - workflow_id always first parameter
- **Type safety** - proper UUID handling throughout
### Implementation Strategy

- **Eliminated framework complexity** - no more DBOS configuration or abstractions
- **Consolidated logic** - single deployment workflow vs 4 separate workflows
- **Cleaner API surface** - unified endpoint vs multiple workflow-specific endpoints
#### Enhanced Observability
- **Complete event correlation** - every workflow event tagged with workflow_id
- **Audit trail reconstruction** - can trace entire tenant lifecycle through events
- **Workflow status tracking** - running/completed/failed states in database
- **Comprehensive testing** - edge cases covered with real infrastructure
#### Operational Benefits
- **Simpler debugging** - plain Python stack traces vs framework abstractions
- **Reduced dependencies** - one less complex framework to maintain
- **Better error handling** - explicit exception handling vs framework magic

- No retry mechanism for failed operations
- HTTP timeouts on long-running deployments
- Poor user experience during infrastructure provisioning
**Solution**: Redis-backed job queue with arq for reliable background processing
#### Architecture Overview
```python
# API Layer: Return immediately with job tracking
@router.post("/{tenant_id}/deploy")
async def deploy_tenant(tenant_id: UUID):
# Create workflow record in Postgres
workflow = await workflow_repo.create_workflow("tenant_deployment", tenant_id)
# Enqueue job in Redis
job = await arq_pool.enqueue_job('deploy_tenant_task', tenant_id, workflow.id)
# Return job ID immediately
return {"job_id": job.job_id, "workflow_id": workflow.id, "status": "queued"}
# Background Worker: Process via existing unified workflow
async def deploy_tenant_task(ctx, tenant_id: str, workflow_id: str):
# Existing workflow logic - zero changes needed!
await workflow_manager.deploy_tenant(UUID(tenant_id), workflow_id=UUID(workflow_id))

- **Workers**: arq worker processes (new deployment target)
- **Monitoring**: Job status dashboard (simple web interface)
#### API Evolution
```python
# Before: Synchronous (blocks for 60+ seconds)
POST /tenant/{id}/deploy {status: "active", machine_id: "..."}
# After: Asynchronous (returns immediately)
POST /tenant/{id}/deploy {job_id: "uuid", workflow_id: "uuid", status: "queued"}
GET /jobs/{job_id}/status {status: "running", progress: "deploying_machine", workflow_id: "uuid"}
GET /workflows/{workflow_id}/events [...] # Existing event tracking works unchanged
```
**Technology Choice**: **arq (Redis)** over pgqueuer
- **Existing Redis infrastructure** - Upstash + docker-compose already configured
- **Better ecosystem** - monitoring tools, documentation, community
- **Made by pydantic team** - aligns with existing Python stack
- **Hybrid approach** - Redis for queue operations + Postgres for workflow state
#### Job Uniqueness Implementation
**Problem**: Multiple concurrent deployment requests for the same tenant could create duplicate jobs, wasting resources and potentially causing conflicts.
**Solution**: Leverage ARQ's built-in job uniqueness feature using predictable job IDs:
```python
# JobQueueService implementation
async def enqueue_deploy_job(self, tenant_id: UUID, image_tag: str | None = None) -> str:
unique_job_id = f"deploy-{tenant_id}"
job = await self.redis_pool.enqueue_job(
"deploy_tenant_job",
str(tenant_id),
image_tag,
_job_id=unique_job_id, # ARQ prevents duplicates
)
if job is None:
# Job already exists - return existing job ID
return unique_job_id
else:
# New job created - return ARQ job ID
return job.job_id
```
**Key Features:**
- **Predictable Job IDs**: `deploy-{tenant_id}`, `undeploy-{tenant_id}`
- **Duplicate Prevention**: ARQ returns `None` for duplicate job IDs
- **Graceful Handling**: Return existing job ID instead of raising errors
- **Idempotent Operations**: Safe to retry deployment requests
- **Clear Logging**: Distinguish "Enqueued new" vs "Found existing" jobs
**Benefits:**
- Prevents resource waste from duplicate deployments
- Eliminates race conditions from concurrent requests
- Makes job monitoring more predictable with consistent IDs
- Provides natural deduplication without complex locking mechanisms
## Notes
### Design Philosophy Lessons
- **Simplicity beats framework magic** - removing DBOS made the system more reliable and debuggable
- **Event sourcing > complex orchestration** - database-backed event tracking provides better observability than framework abstractions
- **Idempotent operations > resumable workflows** - each step handling its own retry logic is simpler than framework-managed resumability
- **Explicit error handling > framework exception handling** - Python exceptions are clearer than orchestration framework error states
### Future Considerations
- **Monitoring integration** - workflow tracking events could feed into observability systems
- **Performance optimization** - event querying patterns may benefit from additional indexing
- **Audit compliance** - complete event trail supports regulatory requirements
- **Operational dashboards** - workflow status could drive tenant health monitoring

## Implementation Notes
### Configuration Integration
- **Redis Configuration**: Add Redis settings to existing `apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/config.py`
- **Local Development**: Leverage existing Redis setup from `docker-compose.yml`
- **Production**: Use Upstash Redis configuration for production environments
### Docker Entrypoint Strategy
Create `entrypoint.sh` script to toggle between API server and worker processes using single Docker image:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Entrypoint script for Basic Memory Cloud service
# Supports multiple process types: api, worker
set -e
case "$1" in
"api")
echo "Starting Basic Memory Cloud API server..."
exec uvicorn basic_memory_cloud.main:app \
--host 0.0.0.0 \
--port 8000 \
--log-level info
;;
"worker")
echo "Starting Basic Memory Cloud ARQ worker..."
# For ARQ worker implementation
exec python -m arq basic_memory_cloud.jobs.settings.WorkerSettings
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {api|worker}"
echo " api - Start the FastAPI server"
echo " worker - Start the ARQ worker"
exit 1
;;
esac
```
### Fly.io Process Groups Configuration
Use separate machine groups for API and worker processes with independent scaling:
```toml
# fly.toml app configuration for basic-memory-cloud
app = 'basic-memory-cloud-dev-basic-machines'
primary_region = 'dfw'
org = 'basic-machines'
kill_signal = 'SIGINT'
kill_timeout = '5s'
[build]
# Process groups for API server and worker
[processes]
api = "api"
worker = "worker"
# Machine scaling configuration
[[machine]]
size = 'shared-cpu-1x'
processes = ['api']
min_machines_running = 1
auto_stop_machines = false
auto_start_machines = true
[[machine]]
size = 'shared-cpu-1x'
processes = ['worker']
min_machines_running = 1
auto_stop_machines = false
auto_start_machines = true
[env]
# Python configuration
PYTHONUNBUFFERED = '1'
PYTHONPATH = '/app'
# Logging configuration
LOG_LEVEL = 'DEBUG'
# Redis configuration for ARQ
REDIS_URL = 'redis://basic-memory-cloud-redis.upstash.io'
# Database configuration
DATABASE_HOST = 'basic-memory-cloud-db-dev-basic-machines.internal'
DATABASE_PORT = '5432'
DATABASE_NAME = 'basic_memory_cloud'
DATABASE_USER = 'postgres'
DATABASE_SSL = 'true'
# Worker configuration
ARQ_MAX_JOBS = '10'
ARQ_KEEP_RESULT = '3600'
# Fly.io configuration
FLY_ORG = 'basic-machines'
FLY_REGION = 'dfw'
# Internal service - no external HTTP exposure for worker
# API accessible via basic-memory-cloud-dev-basic-machines.flycast:8000
[[vm]]
size = 'shared-cpu-1x'
```
### Benefits of This Architecture
- **Single Docker Image**: Both API and worker use same container with different entrypoints
- **Independent Scaling**: Scale API and worker processes separately based on demand
- **Clean Separation**: Web traffic handling separate from background job processing
- **Existing Infrastructure**: Leverages current PostgreSQL + Redis setup without complexity
- **Hybrid State Management**: Redis for queue operations, PostgreSQL for persistent workflow tracking
## Relations
- implements [[SPEC-8 TigrisFS Integration]]
- follows [[SPEC-1 Specification-Driven Development Process]]
- supersedes previous multi-workflow architecture

# SPEC-11: Basic Memory API Performance Optimization
## Why
The Basic Memory API experiences significant performance issues in cloud environments due to expensive per-request initialization. MCP tools making
HTTP requests to the API suffer from 350ms-2.6s latency overhead **before** any actual operation occurs.
**Root Cause Analysis:**
- GitHub Issue #82 shows repeated initialization sequences in logs (16:29:35 and 16:49:58)
- Each MCP tool call triggers full database initialization + project reconciliation
- `get_engine_factory()` dependency calls `db.get_or_create_db()` on every request
- `reconcile_projects_with_config()` runs expensive sync operations repeatedly
**Performance Impact:**
- Database connection setup: ~50-100ms per request
- Migration checks: ~100-500ms per request
- Project reconciliation: ~200ms-2s per request
- **Total overhead**: ~350ms-2.6s per MCP tool call
This creates compounding effects with tenant auto-start delays and increases timeout risk in cloud deployments.
## What
This optimization affects the **core basic-memory repository** components:
1. **API Lifespan Management** (`src/basic_memory/api/app.py`)
- Cache database connections in app state during startup
- Avoid repeated expensive initialization
2. **Dependency Injection** (`src/basic_memory/deps.py`)
- Modify `get_engine_factory()` to use cached connections
- Eliminate per-request database setup
3. **Initialization Service** (`src/basic_memory/services/initialization.py`)
- Add caching/throttling to project reconciliation
- Skip expensive operations when appropriate
4. **Configuration** (`src/basic_memory/config.py`)
- Add optional performance flags for cloud environments
**Backwards Compatibility**: All changes must be backwards compatible with existing CLI and non-cloud usage.
## How (High Level)
### Phase 1: Cache Database Connections (Critical - 80% of gains)
**Problem**: `get_engine_factory()` calls `db.get_or_create_db()` per request
**Solution**: Cache database engine/session in app state during lifespan
1. **Modify API Lifespan** (`api/app.py`):
```python
@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
app_config = ConfigManager().config
await initialize_app(app_config)
# Cache database connection in app state
engine, session_maker = await db.get_or_create_db(app_config.database_path)
app.state.engine = engine
app.state.session_maker = session_maker
# ... rest of startup logic
```
2. Modify Dependency Injection (deps.py):
```python
async def get_engine_factory(
request: Request
) -> tuple[AsyncEngine, async_sessionmaker[AsyncSession]]:
"""Get cached engine and session maker from app state."""
return request.app.state.engine, request.app.state.session_maker
```
Phase 2: Optimize Project Reconciliation (Secondary - 20% of gains)
Problem: reconcile_projects_with_config() runs expensive sync repeatedly
Solution: Add module-level caching with time-based throttling
1. Add Reconciliation Cache (services/initialization.py):
```ptyhon
_project_reconciliation_completed = False
_last_reconciliation_time = 0
async def reconcile_projects_with_config(app_config, force=False):
# Skip if recently completed (within 60 seconds) unless forced
if recently_completed and not force:
return
# ... existing logic
```
Phase 3: Cloud Environment Flags (Optional)
Problem: Force expensive initialization in production environments
Solution: Add skip flags for cloud/stateless deployments
1. Add Config Flag (config.py):
skip_initialization_sync: bool = Field(default=False)
2. Configure in Cloud (basic-memory-cloud integration):
BASIC_MEMORY_SKIP_INITIALIZATION_SYNC=true

done
wait

# SPEC-12: OpenTelemetry Observability
## Why
We need comprehensive observability for basic-memory-cloud to:
- Track request flows across our multi-tenant architecture (MCP → Cloud → API services)
- Debug performance issues and errors in production
- Understand user behavior and system usage patterns
- Correlate issues to specific tenants for targeted debugging
- Monitor service health and latency across the distributed system
Currently, we only have basic logging without request correlation or distributed tracing capabilities.
## What
Implement OpenTelemetry instrumentation across all basic-memory-cloud services with:
### Core Requirements
1. **Distributed Tracing**: End-to-end request tracing from MCP gateway through to tenant API instances
2. **Tenant Correlation**: All traces tagged with tenant_id, user_id, and workos_user_id
3. **Service Identification**: Clear service naming and namespace separation
4. **Auto-instrumentation**: Automatic tracing for FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, HTTP clients
5. **Grafana Cloud Integration**: Direct OTLP export to Grafana Cloud Tempo
### Services to Instrument
- **MCP Gateway** (basic-memory-mcp): Entry point with JWT extraction
- **Cloud Service** (basic-memory-cloud): Provisioning and management operations
- **API Service** (basic-memory-api): Tenant-specific instances
- **Worker Processes** (ARQ workers): Background job processing
### Key Trace Attributes
- `tenant.id`: UUID from UserProfile.tenant_id
- `user.id`: WorkOS user identifier
- `user.email`: User email for debugging
- `service.name`: Specific service identifier
- `service.namespace`: Environment (development/production)
- `operation.type`: Business operation (provision/update/delete)
- `tenant.app_name`: Fly.io app name for tenant instances
## How
### Phase 1: Setup OpenTelemetry SDK
1. Add OpenTelemetry dependencies to each service's pyproject.toml:
```python
"opentelemetry-distro[otlp]>=1.29.0",
"opentelemetry-instrumentation-fastapi>=0.50b0",
"opentelemetry-instrumentation-httpx>=0.50b0",
"opentelemetry-instrumentation-sqlalchemy>=0.50b0",
"opentelemetry-instrumentation-logging>=0.50b0",
```
2. Create shared telemetry initialization module (`apps/shared/telemetry.py`)
3. Configure Grafana Cloud OTLP endpoint via environment variables:
```bash
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=https://otlp-gateway-prod-us-east-2.grafana.net/otlp
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS=Authorization=Basic[token]
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL=http/protobuf
```
### Phase 2: Instrument MCP Gateway
1. Extract tenant context from AuthKit JWT in middleware
2. Create root span with tenant attributes
3. Propagate trace context to downstream services via headers
### Phase 3: Instrument Cloud Service
1. Continue trace from MCP gateway
2. Add operation-specific attributes (provisioning events)
3. Instrument ARQ worker jobs for async operations
4. Track Fly.io API calls and latency
### Phase 4: Instrument API Service
1. Extract tenant context from JWT
2. Add machine-specific metadata (instance ID, region)
3. Instrument database operations with SQLAlchemy
4. Track MCP protocol operations
### Phase 5: Configure and Deploy
1. Add OTLP configuration to `.env.example` and `.env.example.secrets`
2. Set Fly.io secrets for production deployment
3. Update Dockerfiles to use `opentelemetry-instrument` wrapper
4. Deploy to development environment first for testing
## How to Evaluate
### Success Criteria
1. **End-to-end traces visible in Grafana Cloud** showing complete request flow
2. **Tenant filtering works** - Can filter traces by tenant_id to see all requests for a user
3. **Service maps accurate** - Grafana shows correct service dependencies
4. **Performance overhead < 5%** - Minimal latency impact from instrumentation
5. **Error correlation** - Can trace errors back to specific tenant and operation
### Testing Checklist
- [x] Single request creates connected trace across all services
- [x] Tenant attributes present on all spans
- [x] Background jobs (ARQ) appear in traces
- [x] Database queries show in trace timeline
- [x] HTTP calls to Fly.io API tracked
- [x] Traces exported successfully to Grafana Cloud
- [x] Can search traces by tenant_id in Grafana
- [x] Service dependency graph shows correct flow
### Monitoring Success
- All services reporting traces to Grafana Cloud
- No OTLP export errors in logs
- Trace sampling working correctly (if implemented)
- Resource usage acceptable (CPU/memory)
## Dependencies
- Grafana Cloud account with OTLP endpoint configured
- OpenTelemetry Python SDK v1.29.0+
- FastAPI instrumentation compatibility
- Network access from Fly.io to Grafana Cloud
## Implementation Assignment
**Recommended Agent**: python-developer
- Requires Python/FastAPI expertise
- Needs understanding of distributed systems
- Must implement middleware and context propagation
- Should understand OpenTelemetry SDK and instrumentation
## Follow-up Tasks
### Enhanced Log Correlation
While basic trace-to-log correlation works automatically via OpenTelemetry logging instrumentation, consider adding structured logging for improved log filtering:
1. **Structured Logging Context**: Add `logger.bind()` calls to inject tenant/user context directly into log records
2. **Custom Loguru Formatter**: Extract OpenTelemetry span attributes for better log readability
3. **Direct Log Filtering**: Enable searching logs directly by tenant_id, workflow_id without going through traces
This would complement the existing automatic trace correlation and provide better log search capabilities.
## Alternative Solution: Logfire
After implementing OpenTelemetry with Grafana Cloud, we discovered limitations in the observability experience:
- Traces work but lack useful context without correlated logs
- Setting up log correlation with Grafana is complex and requires additional infrastructure
- The developer experience for Python observability is suboptimal
### Logfire Evaluation
**Pydantic Logfire** offers a compelling alternative that addresses your specific requirements:
#### Core Requirements Match
- ✅ **User Activity Tracking**: Automatic request tracing with business context
- ✅ **Error Monitoring**: Built-in exception tracking with full context
- ✅ **Performance Metrics**: Automatic latency and performance monitoring
- ✅ **Request Tracing**: Native distributed tracing across services
- ✅ **Log Correlation**: Seamless trace-to-log correlation without setup
#### Key Advantages
1. **Python-First Design**: Built specifically for Python/FastAPI applications by the Pydantic team
2. **Simple Integration**: `pip install logfire` + `logfire.configure()` vs complex OTLP setup
3. **Automatic Correlation**: Logs automatically include trace context without manual configuration
4. **Real-time SQL Interface**: Query spans and logs using SQL with auto-completion
5. **Better Developer UX**: Purpose-built observability UI vs generic Grafana dashboards
6. **Loguru Integration**: `logger.configure(handlers=[logfire.loguru_handler()])` maintains existing logging
#### Pricing Assessment
- **Free Tier**: 10M spans/month (suitable for development and small production workloads)
- **Transparent Pricing**: $1 per million spans/metrics after free tier
- **No Hidden Costs**: No per-host fees, only usage-based metering
- **Production Ready**: Recently exited beta, enterprise features available
#### Migration Path
The existing OpenTelemetry instrumentation is compatible - Logfire uses OpenTelemetry under the hood, so the current spans and attributes would work unchanged.
### Recommendation
**Consider migrating to Logfire** for the following reasons:
1. It directly addresses the "next to useless" traces problem by providing integrated logs
2. Dramatically simpler setup and maintenance compared to Grafana Cloud + custom log correlation
3. Better ROI on observability investment with purpose-built Python tooling
4. Free tier sufficient for current development needs with clear scaling path
The current Grafana Cloud implementation provides a solid foundation and could remain as a backup/export target, while Logfire becomes the primary observability platform.
## Status
**Created**: 2024-01-28
**Status**: Completed (OpenTelemetry + Grafana Cloud)
**Next Phase**: Evaluate Logfire migration
**Priority**: High - Critical for production observability

# SPEC-13: CLI Authentication with Subscription Validation
## Why
The Basic Memory Cloud CLI currently has a security gap in authentication that allows unauthorized access:
**Current Web Flow (Secure)**:
1. User signs up via WorkOS AuthKit
2. User creates Polar subscription
3. Web app validates subscription before calling `POST /tenants/setup`
4. Tenant provisioned only after subscription validation ✅
**Current CLI Flow (Insecure)**:
1. User signs up via WorkOS AuthKit (OAuth device flow)
2. User runs `bm cloud login`
3. CLI receives JWT token from WorkOS
4. CLI can access all cloud endpoints without subscription check ❌
**Problem**: Anyone can sign up with WorkOS and immediately access cloud infrastructure via CLI without having an active Polar subscription. This creates:
- Revenue loss (free resource consumption)
- Security risk (unauthorized data access)
- Support burden (users accessing features they haven't paid for)
**Root Cause**: The CLI authentication flow validates JWT tokens but doesn't verify subscription status before granting access to cloud resources.
## What
Add subscription validation to authentication flow to ensure only users with active Polar subscriptions can access cloud resources across all access methods (CLI, MCP, Web App, Direct API).
**Affected Components**:
### basic-memory-cloud (Cloud Service)
- `apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/deps.py` - Add subscription validation dependency
- `apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/services/subscription_service.py` - Add subscription check method
- `apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/api/tenant_mount.py` - Protect mount endpoints
- `apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/api/proxy.py` - Protect proxy endpoints
### basic-memory (CLI)
- `src/basic_memory/cli/commands/cloud/core_commands.py` - Handle 403 errors
- `src/basic_memory/cli/commands/cloud/api_client.py` - Parse subscription errors
- `docs/cloud-cli.md` - Document subscription requirement
**Endpoints to Protect**:
- `GET /tenant/mount/info` - Used by CLI bisync setup
- `POST /tenant/mount/credentials` - Used by CLI bisync credentials
- `GET /proxy/{path:path}` - Used by Web App, MCP tools, CLI tools, Direct API
- All other `/proxy/*` endpoints - Centralized access point for all user operations
## Complete Authentication Flow Analysis
### Overview of All Access Flows
Basic Memory Cloud has **7 distinct authentication flows**. This spec closes subscription validation gaps in flows 2-4 and 6, which all converge on the `/proxy/*` endpoints.
### Flow 1: Polar Webhook → Registration ✅ SECURE
```
Polar webhook → POST /api/webhooks/polar
→ Validates Polar webhook signature
→ Creates/updates subscription in database
→ No direct user access - webhook only
```
**Auth**: Polar webhook signature validation
**Subscription Check**: N/A (webhook creates subscriptions)
**Status**: ✅ Secure - webhook validated, no user JWT involved
### Flow 2: Web App Login ❌ NEEDS FIX
```
User → apps/web (Vue.js/Nuxt)
→ WorkOS AuthKit magic link authentication
→ JWT stored in browser session
→ Web app calls /proxy/{project}/... endpoints (memory, directory, projects)
→ proxy.py validates JWT but does NOT check subscription
→ Access granted without subscription ❌
```
**Auth**: WorkOS JWT via `CurrentUserProfileHybridJwtDep`
**Subscription Check**: ❌ Missing
**Fixed By**: Task 1.4 (protect `/proxy/*` endpoints)
### Flow 3: MCP (Model Context Protocol) ❌ NEEDS FIX
```
AI Agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.) → https://mcp.basicmemory.com
→ AuthKit OAuth device flow
→ JWT stored in AI agent
→ MCP tools call {cloud_host}/proxy/{endpoint} with Authorization header
→ proxy.py validates JWT but does NOT check subscription
→ MCP tools can access all cloud resources without subscription ❌
```
**Auth**: AuthKit JWT via `CurrentUserProfileHybridJwtDep`
**Subscription Check**: ❌ Missing
**Fixed By**: Task 1.4 (protect `/proxy/*` endpoints)
### Flow 4: CLI Auth (basic-memory) ❌ NEEDS FIX
```
User → bm cloud login
→ AuthKit OAuth device flow
→ JWT stored in ~/.basic-memory/tokens.json
→ CLI calls:
- {cloud_host}/tenant/mount/info (for bisync setup)
- {cloud_host}/tenant/mount/credentials (for bisync credentials)
- {cloud_host}/proxy/{endpoint} (for all MCP tools)
→ tenant_mount.py and proxy.py validate JWT but do NOT check subscription
→ Access granted without subscription ❌
```
**Auth**: AuthKit JWT via `CurrentUserProfileHybridJwtDep`
**Subscription Check**: ❌ Missing
**Fixed By**: Task 1.3 (protect `/tenant/mount/*`) + Task 1.4 (protect `/proxy/*`)
### Flow 5: Cloud CLI (Admin Tasks) ✅ SECURE
```
Admin → python -m basic_memory_cloud.cli.tenant_cli
→ Uses CLIAuth with admin WorkOS OAuth client
→ Gets JWT token with admin org membership
→ Calls /tenants/* endpoints (create, list, delete tenants)
→ tenants.py validates JWT AND admin org membership via AdminUserHybridDep
→ Access granted only to admin organization members ✅
```
**Auth**: AuthKit JWT + Admin org validation via `AdminUserHybridDep`
**Subscription Check**: N/A (admins bypass subscription requirement)
**Status**: ✅ Secure - admin-only endpoints, separate from user flows
### Flow 6: Direct API Calls ❌ NEEDS FIX
```
Any HTTP client → {cloud_host}/proxy/{endpoint}
→ Sends Authorization: Bearer {jwt} header
→ proxy.py validates JWT but does NOT check subscription
→ Direct API access without subscription ❌
```
**Auth**: WorkOS or AuthKit JWT via `CurrentUserProfileHybridJwtDep`
**Subscription Check**: ❌ Missing
**Fixed By**: Task 1.4 (protect `/proxy/*` endpoints)
### Flow 7: Tenant API Instance (Internal) ✅ SECURE
```
/proxy/* → Tenant API (basic-memory-{tenant_id}.fly.dev)
→ Validates signed header from proxy (tenant_id + signature)
→ Direct external access will be disabled in production
→ Only accessible via /proxy endpoints
```
**Auth**: Signed header validation from proxy
**Subscription Check**: N/A (internal only, validated at proxy layer)
**Status**: ✅ Secure - validates proxy signature, not directly accessible
### Authentication Flow Summary Matrix
| Flow | Access Method | Current Auth | Subscription Check | Fixed By SPEC-13 |
|------|---------------|--------------|-------------------|------------------|
| 1. Polar Webhook | Polar webhook → `/api/webhooks/polar` | Polar signature | N/A (webhook) | N/A |
| 2. Web App | Browser → `/proxy/*` | WorkOS JWT ✅ | ❌ Missing | ✅ Task 1.4 |
| 3. MCP | AI Agent → `/proxy/*` | AuthKit JWT ✅ | ❌ Missing | ✅ Task 1.4 |
| 4. CLI | `bm cloud``/tenant/mount/*` + `/proxy/*` | AuthKit JWT ✅ | ❌ Missing | ✅ Task 1.3 + 1.4 |
| 5. Cloud CLI (Admin) | `tenant_cli``/tenants/*` | AuthKit JWT ✅ + Admin org | N/A (admin) | N/A (admin bypass) |
| 6. Direct API | HTTP client → `/proxy/*` | WorkOS/AuthKit JWT ✅ | ❌ Missing | ✅ Task 1.4 |
| 7. Tenant API | Proxy → tenant instance | Proxy signature ✅ | N/A (internal) | N/A |
### Key Insights
1. **Single Point of Failure**: All user access (Web, MCP, CLI, Direct API) converges on `/proxy/*` endpoints
2. **Centralized Fix**: Protecting `/proxy/*` with subscription validation closes gaps in flows 2, 3, 4, and 6 simultaneously
3. **Admin Bypass**: Cloud CLI admin tasks use separate `/tenants/*` endpoints with admin-only access (no subscription needed)
4. **Defense in Depth**: `/tenant/mount/*` endpoints also protected for CLI bisync operations
### Architecture Benefits
The `/proxy` layer serves as the **single centralized authorization point** for all user access:
- ✅ One place to validate JWT tokens
- ✅ One place to check subscription status
- ✅ One place to handle tenant routing
- ✅ Protects Web App, MCP, CLI, and Direct API simultaneously
This architecture makes the fix comprehensive and maintainable.
## How (High Level)
### Option A: Database Subscription Check (Recommended)
**Approach**: Add FastAPI dependency that validates subscription status from database before allowing access.
**Implementation**:
1. **Create Subscription Validation Dependency** (`deps.py`)
```python
async def get_authorized_cli_user_profile(
credentials: Annotated[HTTPAuthorizationCredentials, Depends(security)],
session: DatabaseSessionDep,
user_profile_repo: UserProfileRepositoryDep,
subscription_service: SubscriptionServiceDep,
) -> UserProfile:
"""
Hybrid authentication with subscription validation for CLI access.
Validates JWT (WorkOS or AuthKit) and checks for active subscription.
Returns UserProfile if both checks pass.
"""
# Try WorkOS JWT first (faster validation path)
try:
user_context = await validate_workos_jwt(credentials.credentials)
except HTTPException:
# Fall back to AuthKit JWT validation
try:
user_context = await validate_authkit_jwt(credentials.credentials)
except HTTPException as e:
raise HTTPException(
status_code=401,
detail="Invalid JWT token. Authentication required.",
) from e
# Check subscription status
has_subscription = await subscription_service.check_user_has_active_subscription(
session, user_context.workos_user_id
)
if not has_subscription:
raise HTTPException(
status_code=403,
detail={
"error": "subscription_required",
"message": "Active subscription required for CLI access",
"subscribe_url": "https://basicmemory.com/subscribe"
}
)
# Look up and return user profile
user_profile = await user_profile_repo.get_user_profile_by_workos_user_id(
session, user_context.workos_user_id
)
if not user_profile:
raise HTTPException(401, detail="User profile not found")
return user_profile
```
```python
AuthorizedCLIUserProfileDep = Annotated[UserProfile, Depends(get_authorized_cli_user_profile)]
```
2. **Add Subscription Check Method** (`subscription_service.py`)
```python
async def check_user_has_active_subscription(
self, session: AsyncSession, workos_user_id: str
) -> bool:
"""Check if user has active subscription."""
# Use existing repository method to get subscription by workos_user_id
# This joins UserProfile -> Subscription in a single query
subscription = await self.subscription_repository.get_subscription_by_workos_user_id(
session, workos_user_id
)
return subscription is not None and subscription.status == "active"
```
3. **Protect Endpoints** (Replace `CurrentUserProfileHybridJwtDep` with `AuthorizedCLIUserProfileDep`)
```python
# Before
@router.get("/mount/info")
async def get_mount_info(
user_profile: CurrentUserProfileHybridJwtDep,
session: DatabaseSessionDep,
):
tenant_id = user_profile.tenant_id
...
# After
@router.get("/mount/info")
async def get_mount_info(
user_profile: AuthorizedCLIUserProfileDep, # Now includes subscription check
session: DatabaseSessionDep,
):
tenant_id = user_profile.tenant_id # No changes needed to endpoint logic
...
```
4. **Update CLI Error Handling**
```python
# In core_commands.py login()
try:
success = await auth.login()
if success:
# Test subscription by calling protected endpoint
await make_api_request("GET", f"{host_url}/tenant/mount/info")
except CloudAPIError as e:
if e.status_code == 403 and e.detail.get("error") == "subscription_required":
console.print("[red]Subscription required[/red]")
console.print(f"Subscribe at: {e.detail['subscribe_url']}")
raise typer.Exit(1)
```
**Pros**:
- Simple to implement
- Fast (single database query)
- Clear error messages
- Works with existing subscription flow
**Cons**:
- Database is source of truth (could get out of sync with Polar)
- Adds one extra subscription lookup query per request (lightweight JOIN query)
### Option B: WorkOS Organizations
**Approach**: Add users to "beta-users" organization in WorkOS after subscription creation, validate org membership via JWT claims.
**Implementation**:
1. After Polar subscription webhook, add user to WorkOS org via API
2. Validate `org_id` claim in JWT matches authorized org
3. Use existing `get_admin_workos_jwt` pattern
**Pros**:
- WorkOS as single source of truth
- No database queries needed
- More secure (harder to bypass)
**Cons**:
- More complex (requires WorkOS API integration)
- Requires managing WorkOS org membership
- Less control over error messages
- Additional API calls during registration
### Recommendation
**Start with Option A (Database Check)** for:
- Faster implementation
- Clearer error messages
- Easier testing
- Existing subscription infrastructure
**Consider Option B later** if:
- Need tighter security
- Want to reduce database dependency
- Scale requires fewer database queries
## How to Evaluate

### Test Cases
**Manual Testing**:
```bash
# Test 1: Unauthorized user

2. Run `bm cloud login`
3. Verify: Login succeeds but shows subscription required error
4. Verify: Cannot run `bm cloud setup`
5. Verify: Clear error message with subscribe link
# Test 2: Authorized user
1. Use account with active Polar subscription
2. Run `bm cloud login`
3. Verify: Login succeeds without errors
4. Run `bm cloud setup`
5. Verify: Setup completes successfully
6. Run `bm sync`
7. Verify: Sync works normally
# Test 3: Subscription expiration
1. Use account with active subscription
2. Manually expire subscription in database
3. Run `bm cloud login`
4. Verify: Blocked with clear error
5. Renew subscription
6. Run `bm cloud login` again
7. Verify: Access restored
```

# Mock JWT credentials for the user
credentials = mock_jwt_credentials(user_profile.workos_user_id)
# Should not raise exception
result = await get_authorized_cli_user_profile(
credentials, db_session, user_profile_repo, subscription_service
)
assert result.id == user_profile.id
assert result.workos_user_id == user_profile.workos_user_id
async def test_unauthorized_user_blocked(
db_session,

# Should raise 403
with pytest.raises(HTTPException) as exc:
await get_authorized_cli_user_profile(
credentials, db_session, user_profile_repo, subscription_service
)
assert exc.value.status_code == 403
assert exc.value.detail["error"] == "subscription_required"
async def test_inactive_subscription_blocked(
db_session,
user_profile_repo,
subscription_service,
mock_jwt_credentials
):
# Create user with cancelled/inactive subscription
user_profile = await create_user_with_subscription(db_session, status="cancelled")
credentials = mock_jwt_credentials(user_profile.workos_user_id)
# Should raise 403
with pytest.raises(HTTPException) as exc:

credentials, db_session, user_profile_repo, subscription_service
)
assert exc.value.status_code == 403

## Implementation Tasks
### Phase 1: Cloud Service (basic-memory-cloud)
#### Task 1.1: Add subscription check method to SubscriptionService ✅
**File**: `apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/services/subscription_service.py`
- [x] Add method `check_subscription(session: AsyncSession, workos_user_id: str) -> bool`

"""
# Try WorkOS JWT first (faster validation path)
try:
user_context = await validate_workos_jwt(credentials.credentials)
except HTTPException:
# Fall back to AuthKit JWT validation
try:
user_context = await validate_authkit_jwt(credentials.credentials)
except HTTPException as e:
raise HTTPException(
status_code=401,
detail="Invalid JWT token. Authentication required.",
) from e
# Check subscription status
has_subscription = await subscription_service.check_user_has_active_subscription(

```
#### Task 1.3: Protect tenant mount endpoints ✅
**File**: `apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/api/tenant_mount.py`
- [x] Update import: add `AuthorizedUserProfileDep` from `..deps`
- [x] Replace `user_profile: CurrentUserProfileHybridJwtDep` with `user_profile: AuthorizedUserProfileDep` in:
- [x] `get_tenant_mount_info()` (line ~23)
- [x] `create_tenant_mount_credentials()` (line ~88)
- [x] `revoke_tenant_mount_credentials()` (line ~244)
- [x] `list_tenant_mount_credentials()` (line ~326)
- [x] Verify no other code changes needed (parameter name and usage stays the same)
- [x] Run `just typecheck` to verify types
#### Task 1.4: Protect proxy endpoints ✅
**File**: `apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/api/proxy.py`
- [x] Update import: add `AuthorizedUserProfileDep` from `..deps`
- [x] Replace `user_profile: CurrentUserProfileHybridJwtDep` with `user_profile: AuthorizedUserProfileDep` in:
- [x] `check_tenant_health()` (line ~21)
- [x] `proxy_to_tenant()` (line ~63)
- [x] Verify no other code changes needed (parameter name and usage stays the same)
- [x] Run `just typecheck` to verify types
**Why Keep /proxy Architecture:**
The proxy layer is valuable because it:
1. **Centralizes authorization** - Single place for JWT + subscription validation (closes both CLI and MCP auth gaps)
2. **Handles tenant routing** - Maps tenant_id → fly_app_name without exposing infrastructure details
3. **Abstracts infrastructure** - MCP and CLI don't need to know about Fly.io naming conventions
4. **Enables features** - Can add rate limiting, caching, request logging, etc. at proxy layer
5. **Supports both flows** - CLI tools and MCP tools both use /proxy endpoints
The extra HTTP hop is minimal (< 10ms) and worth it for architectural benefits.
**Performance Note:** Cloud app has Redis available - can cache subscription status to reduce database queries if needed. Initial implementation uses direct database query (simple, acceptable performance ~5-10ms).
#### Task 1.5: Add unit tests for subscription service

if success:
# Test access to protected endpoint
await api_client.test_connection()
except SubscriptionRequiredError as e:
console.print("\n[red]✗ Subscription Required[/red]\n")
console.print(f"[yellow]{e.message}[/yellow]\n")
console.print(f"Subscribe at: [blue underline]{e.subscribe_url}[/blue underline]\n")

- [ ] Document subscription requirement
- [ ] Add "Troubleshooting" section
- [ ] Document "Subscription Required" error
- [ ] Provide subscribe URL
- [ ] Add FAQ entry about subscription errors
- [ ] Build docs locally to verify formatting
### Phase 3: End-to-End Testing
#### Task 3.1: Create test user accounts
**Prerequisites**: Access to WorkOS admin and database
- [ ] Create test user WITHOUT subscription:
- [ ] Sign up via WorkOS AuthKit
- [ ] Get workos_user_id from database
- [ ] Verify no subscription record exists
- [ ] Save credentials for testing
- [ ] Create test user WITH active subscription:
- [ ] Sign up via WorkOS AuthKit

- [ ] Verify subscription.status = "active" in database
- [ ] Save credentials for testing
#### Task 3.2: Manual testing - User without subscription
**Environment**: Preview/staging deployment
- [ ] Run `bm cloud login` with no-subscription user
- [ ] Verify: Login shows "Subscription Required" error

- [x] Add subscription validation dependency to deps.py
- [x] Add subscription_url config (env var)
- [x] Protect tenant mount endpoints (4 endpoints)
- [x] Protect proxy endpoints (2 endpoints)
- [ ] Add unit tests for subscription service

- [ ] Manual testing - user without subscription
- [ ] Manual testing - user with active subscription
- [ ] Test subscription state transitions
- [ ] Integration test suite
- [ ] Load/performance testing (optional)
## Questions to Resolve
### Resolved ✅
1. **Admin Access**
- ✅ **Decision**: Admin users bypass subscription check
- **Rationale**: Admin endpoints already use `AdminUserHybridDep`, which is separate from CLI user endpoints
- **Implementation**: No changes needed to admin endpoints
2. **Subscription Check Implementation**
- ✅ **Decision**: Use Option A (Database Check)
- **Rationale**: Simpler, faster to implement, works with existing infrastructure
- **Implementation**: Single JOIN query via `get_subscription_by_workos_user_id()`
3. **Dependency Return Type**
- ✅ **Decision**: Return `UserProfile` (not `UserContext`)
- **Rationale**: Drop-in compatibility with existing endpoints, no refactoring needed
- **Implementation**: `AuthorizedCLIUserProfileDep` returns `UserProfile`
### To Be Resolved ⏳
1. **Subscription Check Frequency**
- **Options**:
- Check on every API call (slower, more secure) ✅ **RECOMMENDED**
- Cache subscription status (faster, risk of stale data)
- Check only on login/setup (fast, but allows expired subscriptions temporarily)
- **Recommendation**: Check on every call via dependency injection (simple, secure, acceptable performance)
- **Impact**: ~5-10ms per request (single indexed JOIN query)
2. **Grace Period**
- **Options**:
- No grace period - immediate block when status != "active" ✅ **RECOMMENDED**
- 7-day grace period after period_end
- 14-day grace period after period_end
- **Recommendation**: No grace period initially, add later if needed based on customer feedback
- **Implementation**: Check `subscription.status == "active"` only (ignore period_end initially)
3. **Subscription Expiration Handling**
- **Question**: Should we check `current_period_end < now()` in addition to `status == "active"`?
- **Options**:
- Only check status field (rely on Polar webhooks to update status) ✅ **RECOMMENDED**
- Check both status and current_period_end (more defensive)
- **Recommendation**: Only check status field, assume Polar webhooks keep it current
- **Risk**: If webhooks fail, expired subscriptions might retain access until webhook succeeds
4. **Subscribe URL**
- **Question**: What's the actual subscription URL?
- **Current**: Spec uses `https://basicmemory.com/subscribe`
- **Action Required**: Verify correct URL before implementation
5. **Dev Mode / Testing Bypass**
- **Question**: Support bypass for development/testing?
- **Options**:
- Environment variable: `DISABLE_SUBSCRIPTION_CHECK=true`
- Always enforce (more realistic testing) ✅ **RECOMMENDED**
- **Recommendation**: No bypass - use test users with real subscriptions for realistic testing
- **Implementation**: Create dev endpoint to activate subscriptions for testing
## Related Specs
- SPEC-9: Multi-Project Bidirectional Sync Architecture (CLI affected by this change)
- SPEC-8: TigrisFS Integration (Mount endpoints protected)
## Notes
- This spec prioritizes security over convenience - better to block unauthorized access than risk revenue loss
- Clear error messages are critical - users should understand why they're blocked and how to resolve it
- Consider adding telemetry to track subscription_required errors for monitoring signup conversion

# SPEC-14: Cloud Git Versioning & GitHub Backup
**Status: DEFERRED** - Postponed until multi-user/teams feature development. Using S3 versioning (SPEC-9.1) for v1 instead.
## Why Deferred
**Original goals can be met with simpler solutions:**
- Version history → **S3 bucket versioning** (automatic, zero config)
- Offsite backup → **Tigris global replication** (built-in)
- Restore capability → **S3 version restore** (`bm cloud restore --version-id`)
- Collaboration → **Deferred to teams/multi-user feature** (not v1 requirement)
**Complexity vs value trade-off:**
- Git integration adds: committer service, puller service, webhooks, LFS, merge conflicts
- Risk: Loop detection between Git ↔ rclone bisync ↔ local edits
- S3 versioning gives 80% of value with 5% of complexity
**When to revisit:**
- Teams/multi-user features (PR-based collaboration workflow)
- User requests for commit messages and branch-based workflows
- Need for fine-grained audit trail beyond S3 object metadata
---
## Original Specification (for reference)
## Why
Early access users want **transparent version history**, easy **offsite backup**, and a familiar **restore/branching** workflow. Git/GitHub integration would provide:
- Auditable history of every change (who/when/why)
- Branches/PRs for review and collaboration
- Offsite private backup under the user's control
- Escape hatch: users can always `git clone` their knowledge base
**Note:** These goals are now addressed via S3 versioning (SPEC-9.1) for single-user use case.
## Goals
- **Transparent**: Users keep using Basic Memory; Git runs behind the scenes.
- **Private**: Push to a **private GitHub repo** that the user owns (or tenant org).
- **Reliable**: No data loss, deterministic mapping of filesystem ↔ Git.
- **Composable**: Plays nicely with SPEC9 bisync and upcoming conflict features (SPEC9 FollowUps).
**NonGoals (for v1):**
- Finegrained perfile encryption in Git history (can be layered later).
- Large media optimization beyond Git LFS defaults.
## User Stories
1. *As a user*, I connect my GitHub and choose a private backup repo.
2. *As a user*, every change I make in cloud (or via bisync) is **committed** and **pushed** automatically.
3. *As a user*, I can **restore** a file/folder/project to a prior version.
4. *As a power user*, I can **git pull/push** directly to collaborate outside the app.
5. *As an admin*, I can enforce repo ownership (tenant org) and leastprivilege scopes.
## Scope
- **In scope:** Full repo backup of `/app/data/` (all projects) with optional selective subpaths.
- **Out of scope (v1):** Partial shallow mirrors; encrypted Git; crossprovider SCM (GitLab/Bitbucket).
## Architecture
### Topology
- **Authoritative working tree**: `/app/data/` (bucket mount) remains the source of truth (SPEC9).
- **Bare repo** lives alongside: `/app/git/${tenant}/knowledge.git` (serverside).
- **Mirror remote**: `github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git` (private).

C -->|git commit| D[(Bare Repo)]
D -->|push| E[(GitHub Private Repo)]
E -->|webhook (push)| F[Puller Service]
F -->|git pull/merge| D
D -->|checkout/merge| B
```
### Services
- **Committer Service** (daemon):
- Watches `/app/data/` for changes (inotify/poll)
- Batches changes (debounce e.g. 25s)
- Writes `.bmmeta` (if present) into commit message trailer (see FollowUps)
- `git add -A && git commit -m "chore(sync): <summary>
BM-Meta: <json>"`
- Periodic `git push` to GitHub mirror (configurable interval)
- **Puller Service** (webhook target):
- Receives GitHub webhook (push) → `git fetch`
- **Fastforward** merges to `main` only; reject nonFF unless policy allows
- Applies changes back to `/app/data/` via clean checkout
- Emits sync events for Basic Memory indexers
### Auth & Security
- **GitHub App** (recommended): minimal scopes: `contents:read/write`, `metadata:read`, webhook.
- Tenantscoped installation; repo created in user account or tenant org.
- Tokens stored in KMS/secret manager; rotated automatically.
- Optional policy: allow only **FF merges** on `main`; nonFF requires PR.
### Repo Layout
- **Monorepo** (default): one repo per tenant mirrors `/app/data/` with subfolders per project.
- Optional multirepo mode (later): one repo per project.
### File Handling
- Honor `.gitignore` generated from `.bmignore.rclone` + BM defaults (cache, temp, state).
- **Git LFS** for large binaries (images, media) — auto track by extension/size threshold.
- Normalize newline + Unicode (aligns with FollowUps).
### Conflict Model
- **Primary concurrency**: SPEC9 FollowUps (`.bmmeta`, conflict copies) stays the first line of defense.
- **Git merges** are a **secondary** mechanism:
- Server only automerges **text** conflicts when trivial (FF or clean 3way).
- Otherwise, create `name (conflict from <branch>, <ts>).md` and surface via events.
### Data Flow vs Bisync
- Bisync (rclone) continues between local sync dir ↔ bucket.
- Git sits **cloudside** between bucket and GitHub.
- On **pull** from GitHub → files written to `/app/data/` → picked up by indexers & eventually by bisync back to users.
## CLI & UX
New commands (cloud mode):
- `bm cloud git connect` — Launch GitHub App installation; create private repo; store installation id.
- `bm cloud git status` — Show connected repo, last push time, last webhook delivery, pending commits.
- `bm cloud git push` — Manual push (rarely needed).
- `bm cloud git pull` — Manual pull/FF (admin only by default).
- `bm cloud snapshot -m "message"` — Create a tagged pointintime snapshot (git tag).
- `bm restore <path> --to <commit|tag>` — Restore file/folder/project to prior version.
Settings:
- `bm config set git.autoPushInterval=5s`
- `bm config set git.lfs.sizeThreshold=10MB`
- `bm config set git.allowNonFF=false`
## Migration & Backfill
- On connect, if repo empty: initial commit of entire `/app/data/`.
- If repo has content: require **onetime import** path (clone to staging, reconcile, choose direction).
## Edge Cases
- Massive deletes: gated by SPEC9 `max_delete` **and** Git prepush hook checks.
- Case changes and rename detection: rely on git rename heuristics + FollowUps move hints.
- Secrets: default ignore common secret patterns; allow custom deny list.
## Telemetry & Observability
- Emit `git_commit`, `git_push`, `git_pull`, `git_conflict` events with correlation IDs.
- `bm sync --report` extended with Git stats (commit count, delta bytes, push latency).
## Phased Plan
### Phase 0 — Prototype (1 sprint)
- Server: bare repo init + simple committer (batch every 10s) + manual GitHub token.
- CLI: `bm cloud git connect --token <PAT>` (devonly)
- Success: edits in `/app/data/` appear in GitHub within 30s.
### Phase 1 — GitHub App & Webhooks (12 sprints)
- Switch to GitHub App installs; create private repo; store installation id.
- Committer hardened (debounce 25s, backoff, retries).
- Puller service with webhook → FF merge → checkout to `/app/data/`.
- LFS autotrack + `.gitignore` generation.
- CLI surfaces status + logs.
### Phase 2 — Restore & Snapshots (1 sprint)
- `bm restore` for file/folder/project with dryrun.
- `bm cloud snapshot` tags + list/inspect.
- Policy: PRonly nonFF, admin override.
### Phase 3 — Selective & MultiRepo (nicetohave)
- Include/exclude projects; optional perproject repos.
- Advanced policies (branch protections, required reviews).
## Acceptance Criteria
- Changes to `/app/data/` are committed and pushed automatically within configurable interval (default ≤5s).
- GitHub webhook pull results in updated files in `/app/data/` (FFonly by default).
- LFS configured and functioning; large files don't bloat history.
- `bm cloud git status` shows connected repo and last push/pull times.
- `bm restore` restores a file/folder to a prior commit with a clear audit trail.
- Endtoend works alongside SPEC9 bisync without loops or data loss.
## Risks & Mitigations
- **Loop risk (Git ↔ Bisync)**: Writes to `/app/data/` → bisync → local → user edits → back again. *Mitigation*: Debounce, commit squashing, idempotent `.bmmeta` versioning, and watch exclusion windows during pull.
- **Repo bloat**: Lots of binary churn. *Mitigation*: default LFS, size threshold, optional mediaonly repo later.
- **Security**: Token leakage. *Mitigation*: GitHub App with shortlived tokens, KMS storage, scoped permissions.
- **Merge complexity**: Nontrivial conflicts. *Mitigation*: prefer FF; otherwise conflict copies + events; require PR for nonFF.
## Open Questions
- Do we default to **monorepo** per tenant, or offer projectperrepo at connect time?
- Should `restore` write to a branch and open a PR, or directly modify `main`?
- How do we expose Git history in UI (timeline view) without users dropping to CLI?

# SPEC-15: Configuration Persistence via Tigris for Cloud Tenants
## Why
We need to persist Basic Memory configuration across Fly.io deployments without using persistent volumes or external databases.
**Current Problems:**
- `~/.basic-memory/config.json` lost on every deployment (project configuration)
- `~/.basic-memory/memory.db` lost on every deployment (search index)
- Persistent volumes break clean deployment workflow
- External databases (Turso) require per-tenant token management
**The Insight:**
The SQLite database is just an **index cache** of the markdown files. It can be rebuilt in seconds from the source markdown files in Tigris. Only the small `config.json` file needs true persistence.
**Solution:**
- Store `config.json` in Tigris bucket (persistent, small file)
- Rebuild `memory.db` on startup from markdown files (fast, ephemeral)
- No persistent volumes, no external databases, no token management
## What
Store Basic Memory configuration in the Tigris bucket and rebuild the database index on tenant machine startup.
**Affected Components:**
- `basic-memory/src/basic_memory/config.py` - Add configurable config directory
**Architecture:**
```bash
# Tigris Bucket (persistent, mounted at /app/data)
/app/data/
├── .basic-memory/
│ └── config.json # ← Project configuration (persistent, accessed via BASIC_MEMORY_CONFIG_DIR)
└── basic-memory/ # ← Markdown files (persistent, BASIC_MEMORY_HOME)
├── project1/
└── project2/
# Fly Machine (ephemeral)
/app/.basic-memory/
└── memory.db # ← Rebuilt on startup (fast local disk)
```
## How (High Level)
### 1. Add Configurable Config Directory to Basic Memory
Currently `ConfigManager` hardcodes `~/.basic-memory/config.json`. Add environment variable to override:
```python
# basic-memory/src/basic_memory/config.py
class ConfigManager:
"""Manages Basic Memory configuration."""
def __init__(self) -> None:
"""Initialize the configuration manager."""
home = os.getenv("HOME", Path.home())
if isinstance(home, str):
home = Path(home)
# Allow override via environment variable
if config_dir := os.getenv("BASIC_MEMORY_CONFIG_DIR"):
self.config_dir = Path(config_dir)
else:
self.config_dir = home / DATA_DIR_NAME
self.config_file = self.config_dir / CONFIG_FILE_NAME
# Ensure config directory exists
self.config_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
```
### 2. Rebuild Database on Startup
Basic Memory already has the sync functionality. Just ensure it runs on startup:
```python
# apps/api/src/basic_memory_cloud_api/main.py
@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup_sync():
"""Rebuild database index from Tigris markdown files."""
logger.info("Starting database rebuild from Tigris")
# Initialize file sync (rebuilds index from markdown files)
app_config = ConfigManager().config
await initialize_file_sync(app_config)
logger.info("Database rebuild complete")
```
### 3. Environment Configuration
```bash
# Machine environment variables
BASIC_MEMORY_CONFIG_DIR=/app/data/.basic-memory # Config read/written directly to Tigris
# memory.db stays in default location: /app/.basic-memory/memory.db (local ephemeral disk)
```
## Implementation Task List
### Phase 1: Basic Memory Changes ✅
- [x] Add `BASIC_MEMORY_CONFIG_DIR` environment variable support to `ConfigManager.__init__()`
- [x] Test config loading from custom directory
- [x] Update tests to verify custom config dir works
### Phase 2: Tigris Bucket Structure ✅
- [x] Ensure `.basic-memory/` directory exists in Tigris bucket on tenant creation
- ✅ ConfigManager auto-creates on first run, no explicit provisioning needed
- [x] Initialize `config.json` in Tigris on first tenant deployment
- ✅ ConfigManager creates config.json automatically in BASIC_MEMORY_CONFIG_DIR
- [x] Verify TigrisFS handles hidden directories correctly
- ✅ TigrisFS supports hidden directories (verified in SPEC-8)
### Phase 3: Deployment Integration ✅

### Phase 5: Documentation
- [ ] Document config persistence architecture
- [ ] Update deployment runbook
- [ ] Document startup sequence and timing
## How to Evaluate
### Success Criteria
1. **Config Persistence**
- [ ] config.json persists across deployments
- [ ] Projects list maintained across restarts
- [ ] No manual configuration needed after redeploy
2. **Database Rebuild**
- [ ] memory.db rebuilt on startup in < 30 seconds
- [ ] All entities indexed correctly
- [ ] Search functionality works after rebuild
3. **Performance**
- [ ] SQLite queries remain fast (local disk)
- [ ] Config reads acceptable (symlink to Tigris)
- [ ] No noticeable performance degradation
4. **Deployment Workflow**
- [ ] Clean deployments without volumes
- [ ] No new external dependencies
- [ ] No secret management needed
### Testing Procedure
1. **Config Persistence Test**
```bash
# Deploy tenant
POST /tenants → tenant_id
# Add a project
basic-memory project add "test-project" ~/test
# Verify config has project
cat /app/data/.basic-memory/config.json
# Redeploy machine
fly deploy --app basic-memory-{tenant_id}
# Verify project still exists
basic-memory project list
```
2. **Database Rebuild Test**
```bash
# Create notes
basic-memory write "Test Note" --content "..."
# Redeploy (db lost)
fly deploy --app basic-memory-{tenant_id}
# Wait for startup sync
sleep 10
# Verify note is indexed
basic-memory search "Test Note"
```
3. **Performance Benchmark**
```bash
# Time the startup sync
time basic-memory sync
# Should be < 30 seconds for typical tenant
```
## Benefits Over Alternatives
**vs. Persistent Volumes:**
- ✅ Clean deployment workflow
- ✅ No volume migration needed
- ✅ Simpler infrastructure
**vs. Turso (External Database):**
- ✅ No per-tenant token management
- ✅ No external service dependencies
- ✅ No additional costs
- ✅ Simpler architecture
**vs. SQLite on FUSE:**
- ✅ Fast local SQLite performance
- ✅ Only slow reads for small config file
- ✅ Database queries remain fast
## Implementation Assignment
**Primary Agent:** `python-developer`
- Add `BASIC_MEMORY_CONFIG_DIR` environment variable to ConfigManager
- Update deployment workflow to set environment variable
- Ensure startup sync runs correctly
**Review Agent:** `system-architect`
- Validate architecture simplicity
- Review performance implications
- Assess startup timing
## Dependencies
- **Internal:** TigrisFS must be working and stable
- **Internal:** Basic Memory sync must be reliable
- **Internal:** SPEC-8 (TigrisFS Integration) must be complete
## Open Questions
1. Should we add a health check that waits for db rebuild to complete?
2. Do we need to handle very large knowledge bases (>10k entities) differently?
3. Should we add metrics for startup sync duration?

# SPEC-16: MCP Cloud Service Consolidation
## Why
### Original Architecture Constraints (Now Removed)
The current architecture deploys MCP Gateway and Cloud Service as separate Fly.io apps:
**Current Flow:**
```
LLM Client → MCP Gateway (OAuth) → Cloud Proxy (JWT + header signing) → Tenant API (JWT + header validation)
apps/mcp apps/cloud /proxy apps/api
```
This separation was originally necessary because:
1. **Stateful SSE requirement** - MCP needed server-sent events with session state for active project tracking
2. **fastmcp.run limitation** - The FastMCP demo helper didn't support worker processes
### Why These Constraints No Longer Apply
1. **State externalized** - Project state moved from in-memory to LLM context (external state)
2. **HTTP transport enabled** - Switched from SSE to stateless HTTP for MCP tools
3. **Worker support added** - Converted from `fastmcp.run()` to `uvicorn.run()` with workers
### Current Problems
- **Unnecessary HTTP hop** - MCP tools call Cloud /proxy endpoint which calls tenant API
- **Higher latency** - Extra network round trip for every MCP operation
- **Increased costs** - Two separate Fly.io apps instead of one
- **Complex deployment** - Two services to deploy, monitor, and maintain
- **Resource waste** - Separate database connections, HTTP clients, telemetry overhead
## What
### Services Affected
1. **apps/mcp** - MCP Gateway service (to be merged)
2. **apps/cloud** - Cloud service (will receive MCP functionality)
3. **basic-memory** - Update `async_client.py` to use direct calls
4. **Deployment** - Consolidate Fly.io deployment to single app
### Components Changed
**Merged:**
- MCP middleware and telemetry into Cloud app
- MCP tools mounted on Cloud FastAPI instance
- ProxyService used directly by MCP tools (not via HTTP)
**Kept:**
- `/proxy` endpoint (still needed by web UI)
- All existing Cloud routes (provisioning, webhooks, etc.)
- Dual validation in tenant API (JWT + signed headers)
**Removed:**
- apps/mcp directory
- Separate MCP Fly.io deployment
- HTTP calls from MCP tools to /proxy endpoint
## How (High Level)
### 1. Mount FastMCP on Cloud FastAPI App
```python
# apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/main.py
from basic_memory.mcp.server import mcp
from basic_memory_cloud_mcp.middleware import TelemetryMiddleware
# Configure MCP OAuth
auth_provider = AuthKitProvider(
authkit_domain=settings.authkit_domain,
base_url=settings.authkit_base_url,
required_scopes=[],
)
mcp.auth = auth_provider
mcp.add_middleware(TelemetryMiddleware())
# Mount MCP at /mcp endpoint
mcp_app = mcp.http_app(path="/mcp", stateless_http=True)
app.mount("/mcp", mcp_app)
# Existing Cloud routes stay at root
app.include_router(proxy_router)
app.include_router(provisioning_router)
# ... etc
```
### 2. Direct Tenant Transport (No HTTP Hop)
Instead of calling `/proxy`, MCP tools call tenant APIs directly via custom httpx transport.
**Important:** No URL prefix stripping needed. The transport receives relative URLs like `/main/resource/notes/my-note` which are correctly routed to tenant APIs. The `/proxy` prefix only exists for web UI requests to the proxy router, not for MCP tools using the custom transport.
```python
# apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/transports/tenant_direct.py
from httpx import AsyncBaseTransport, Request, Response
from fastmcp.server.dependencies import get_http_headers
import jwt
class TenantDirectTransport(AsyncBaseTransport):
"""Direct transport to tenant APIs, bypassing /proxy endpoint."""
async def handle_async_request(self, request: Request) -> Response:
# 1. Get JWT from current MCP request (via FastMCP DI)
http_headers = get_http_headers()
auth_header = http_headers.get("authorization") or http_headers.get("Authorization")
token = auth_header.replace("Bearer ", "")
claims = jwt.decode(token, options={"verify_signature": False})
workos_user_id = claims["sub"]
# 2. Look up tenant for user
tenant = await tenant_service.get_tenant_by_user_id(workos_user_id)
# 3. Build tenant app URL with signed headers
fly_app_name = f"{settings.tenant_prefix}-{tenant.id}"
target_url = f"https://{fly_app_name}.fly.dev{request.url.path}"
headers = dict(request.headers)
signer = create_signer(settings.bm_tenant_header_secret)
headers.update(signer.sign_tenant_headers(tenant.id))
# 4. Make direct call to tenant API
response = await self.client.request(
method=request.method, url=target_url,
headers=headers, content=request.content
)
return response
```
Then configure basic-memory's client factory before mounting MCP:
```python
# apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/main.py
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from basic_memory.mcp import async_client
from basic_memory_cloud.transports.tenant_direct import TenantDirectTransport
# Configure factory for basic-memory's async_client
@asynccontextmanager
async def tenant_direct_client_factory():
"""Factory for creating clients with tenant direct transport."""
client = httpx.AsyncClient(
transport=TenantDirectTransport(),
base_url="http://direct",
)
try:
yield client
finally:
await client.aclose()
# Set factory BEFORE importing MCP tools
async_client.set_client_factory(tenant_direct_client_factory)
# NOW import - tools will use our factory
import basic_memory.mcp.tools
import basic_memory.mcp.prompts
from basic_memory.mcp.server import mcp
# Mount MCP - tools use direct transport via factory
app.mount("/mcp", mcp_app)
```
**Key benefits:**
- Clean dependency injection via factory pattern
- Per-request tenant resolution via FastMCP DI
- Proper resource cleanup (client.aclose() guaranteed)
- Eliminates HTTP hop entirely
- /proxy endpoint remains for web UI
### 3. Keep /proxy Endpoint for Web UI
The existing `/proxy` HTTP endpoint remains functional for:
- Web UI requests
- Future external API consumers
- Backward compatibility
### 4. Security: Maintain Dual Validation
**Do NOT remove JWT validation from tenant API.** Keep defense in depth:
```python
# apps/api - Keep both validations
1. JWT validation (from WorkOS token)
2. Signed header validation (from Cloud/MCP)
```
This ensures if the Cloud service is compromised, attackers still cannot access tenant APIs without valid JWTs.
### 5. Deployment Changes
**Before:**
- `apps/mcp/fly.template.toml` → MCP Gateway deployment
- `apps/cloud/fly.template.toml` → Cloud Service deployment
**After:**
- Remove `apps/mcp/fly.template.toml`
- Update `apps/cloud/fly.template.toml` to expose port 8000 for both /mcp and /proxy
- Update deployment scripts to deploy single consolidated app
## Basic Memory Dependency: Async Client Refactor
### Problem
The current `basic_memory.mcp.async_client` creates a module-level `client` at import time:
```python
client = create_client() # Runs immediately when module is imported
```
This prevents dependency injection - by the time we can override it, tools have already imported it.
### Solution: Context Manager Pattern with Auth at Client Creation
Refactor basic-memory to use httpx's context manager pattern instead of module-level client.
**Key principle:** Authentication happens at client creation time, not per-request.
```python
# basic_memory/src/basic_memory/mcp/async_client.py
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from httpx import AsyncClient, ASGITransport, Timeout
# Optional factory override for dependency injection
_client_factory = None
def set_client_factory(factory):
"""Override the default client factory (for cloud app, testing, etc)."""
global _client_factory
_client_factory = factory
@asynccontextmanager
async def get_client():
"""Get an AsyncClient as a context manager.
Usage:
async with get_client() as client:
response = await client.get(...)
"""
if _client_factory:
# Cloud app: custom transport handles everything
async with _client_factory() as client:
yield client
else:
# Default: create based on config
config = ConfigManager().config
timeout = Timeout(connect=10.0, read=30.0, write=30.0, pool=30.0)
if config.cloud_mode_enabled:
# CLI cloud mode: inject auth when creating client
from basic_memory.cli.auth import CLIAuth
auth = CLIAuth(
client_id=config.cloud_client_id,
authkit_domain=config.cloud_domain
)
token = await auth.get_valid_token()
if not token:
raise RuntimeError(
"Cloud mode enabled but not authenticated. "
"Run 'basic-memory cloud login' first."
)
# Auth header set ONCE at client creation
async with AsyncClient(
base_url=f"{config.cloud_host}/proxy",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"},
timeout=timeout
) as client:
yield client
else:
# Local mode: ASGI transport
async with AsyncClient(
transport=ASGITransport(app=fastapi_app),
base_url="http://test",
timeout=timeout
) as client:
yield client
```
**Tool Updates:**
```python
# Before: from basic_memory.mcp.async_client import client
from basic_memory.mcp.async_client import get_client
async def read_note(...):
# Before: response = await call_get(client, path, ...)
async with get_client() as client:
response = await call_get(client, path, ...)
# ... use response
```
**Cloud Usage:**
```python
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from basic_memory.mcp import async_client
@asynccontextmanager
async def tenant_direct_client():
"""Factory for creating clients with tenant direct transport."""
client = httpx.AsyncClient(
transport=TenantDirectTransport(),
base_url="http://direct",
)
try:
yield client
finally:
await client.aclose()
# Before importing MCP tools:
async_client.set_client_factory(tenant_direct_client)
# Now import - tools will use our factory
import basic_memory.mcp.tools
```
### Benefits
- **No module-level state** - client created only when needed
- **Proper cleanup** - context manager ensures `aclose()` is called
- **Easy dependency injection** - factory pattern allows custom clients
- **httpx best practices** - follows official recommendations
- **Works for all modes** - stdio, cloud, testing
### Architecture Simplification: Auth at Client Creation
**Key design principle:** Authentication happens when creating the client, not on every request.
**Three modes, three approaches:**
1. **Local mode (ASGI)**
- No auth needed
- Direct in-process calls via ASGITransport
2. **CLI cloud mode (HTTP)**
- Auth token from CLIAuth (stored in ~/.basic-memory/basic-memory-cloud.json)
- Injected as default header when creating AsyncClient
- Single auth check at client creation time
3. **Cloud app mode (Custom Transport)**
- TenantDirectTransport handles everything
- Extracts JWT from FastMCP context per-request
- No interaction with inject_auth_header() logic
**What this removes:**
- `src/basic_memory/mcp/tools/headers.py` - entire file deleted
- `inject_auth_header()` calls in all request helpers (call_get, call_post, etc.)
- Per-request header manipulation complexity
- Circular dependency concerns between async_client and auth logic
**Benefits:**
- Cleaner separation of concerns
- Simpler request helper functions
- Auth happens at the right layer (client creation)
- Cloud app transport is completely independent
### Refactor Summary
This refactor achieves:
**Simplification:**
- Removes ~100 lines of per-request header injection logic
- Deletes entire `headers.py` module
- Auth happens once at client creation, not per-request
**Decoupling:**
- Cloud app's custom transport is completely independent
- No interaction with basic-memory's auth logic
- Each mode (local, CLI cloud, cloud app) has clean separation
**Better Design:**
- Follows httpx best practices (context managers)
- Proper resource cleanup (client.aclose() guaranteed)
- Easier testing via factory injection
- No circular import risks
**Three Distinct Modes:**
1. Local: ASGI transport, no auth
2. CLI cloud: HTTP transport with CLIAuth token injection
3. Cloud app: Custom transport with per-request tenant routing
### Implementation Plan Summary
1. Create branch `async-client-context-manager` in basic-memory
2. Update `async_client.py` with context manager pattern and CLIAuth integration
3. Remove `inject_auth_header()` from all request helpers
4. Delete `src/basic_memory/mcp/tools/headers.py`
5. Update all MCP tools to use `async with get_client() as client:`
6. Update CLI commands to use context manager and remove manual auth
7. Remove `api_url` config field
8. Update tests
9. Update basic-memory-cloud to use branch: `basic-memory @ git+https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory.git@async-client-context-manager`
Detailed breakdown in Phase 0 tasks below.
### Implementation Notes
**Potential Issues & Solutions:**
1. **Circular Import** (async_client imports CLIAuth)
- **Risk:** CLIAuth might import something from async_client
- **Solution:** Use lazy import inside `get_client()` function
- **Already done:** Import is inside the function, not at module level
2. **Test Fixtures**
- **Risk:** Tests using module-level client will break
- **Solution:** Update fixtures to use factory pattern
- **Example:**
```python
@pytest.fixture
def mock_client_factory():
@asynccontextmanager
async def factory():
async with AsyncClient(...) as client:
yield client
return factory
```
3. **Performance**
- **Risk:** Creating client per tool call might be expensive
- **Reality:** httpx is designed for this pattern, connection pooling at transport level
- **Mitigation:** Monitor performance, can optimize later if needed
4. **CLI Cloud Commands Edge Cases**
- **Risk:** Token expires mid-operation
- **Solution:** CLIAuth.get_valid_token() already handles refresh
- **Validation:** Test cloud login → use tools → token refresh flow
5. **Backward Compatibility**
- **Risk:** External code importing `client` directly
- **Solution:** Keep `create_client()` and `client` for one version, deprecate
- **Timeline:** Remove in next major version

2. Update basic-memory async_client.py for direct ProxyService calls
3. Update apps/cloud/main.py to mount MCP
### Phase 2: Testing
1. Local testing with consolidated app
2. Deploy to development environment
3. Run full test suite
4. Performance benchmarking
### Phase 3: Deployment
1. Deploy to development
2. Validate all functionality

- [x] Log volume reasonable for single app
## Success Criteria
1. **Functionality**: All MCP tools and Cloud routes work identically to before
2. **Performance**: Measurable latency reduction (>20ms average)
3. **Cost**: Single Fly.io app instead of two (50% infrastructure reduction)
4. **Security**: Dual validation maintained, no security regression
5. **Deployment**: Simplified deployment process, single app to manage
6. **Observability**: Telemetry and logging work correctly
## Notes
### Future Considerations
- **Independent scaling**: If MCP and Cloud need different scaling profiles in future, code organization supports splitting back out
- **Regional deployment**: Consolidated app can still be deployed to multiple regions
- **Edge caching**: Could add edge caching layer in front of consolidated service
### Dependencies
- SPEC-9: Signed Header Tenant Information (already implemented)
- SPEC-12: OpenTelemetry Observability (telemetry must work across merged services)
### Related Work
- basic-memory v0.13.x: MCP server implementation
- FastMCP documentation: Mounting on existing FastAPI apps
- Fly.io multi-service patterns

# SPEC-18: AI Memory Management Tool
## Why
Anthropic recently released a memory tool for Claude that enables storing and retrieving information across conversations using client-side file operations. This validates Basic Memory's local-first, file-based architecture - Anthropic converged on the same pattern.
However, Anthropic's memory tool is only available via their API and stores plain text. Basic Memory can offer a superior implementation through MCP that:
1. **Works everywhere** - Claude Desktop, Code, VS Code, Cursor via MCP (not just API)
2. **Structured knowledge** - Entities with observations/relations vs plain text
3. **Full search** - Full-text search, graph traversal, time-aware queries
4. **Unified storage** - Agent memories + user notes in one knowledge graph
5. **Existing infrastructure** - Leverages SQLite indexing, sync, multi-project support
This would enable AI agents to store contextual memories alongside user notes, with all the power of Basic Memory's knowledge graph features.
## What
Create a new MCP tool `memory` that matches Anthropic's tool interface exactly, allowing Claude to use it with zero learning curve. The tool will store files in Basic Memory's `/memories` directory and support Basic Memory's structured markdown format in the file content.
### Affected Components
- **New MCP Tool**: `src/basic_memory/mcp/tools/memory_tool.py`
- **Dedicated Memories Project**: Create a separate "memories" Basic Memory project
- **Project Isolation**: Memories stored separately from user notes/documents
- **File Organization**: Within the memories project, use folder structure:
- `user/` - User preferences, context, communication style
- `projects/` - Project-specific state and decisions
- `sessions/` - Conversation-specific working memory
- `patterns/` - Learned patterns and insights
### Tool Commands
The tool will support these commands (exactly matching Anthropic's interface):
- `view` - Display directory contents or file content (with optional line range)
- `create` - Create or overwrite a file with given content
- `str_replace` - Replace text in an existing file
- `insert` - Insert text at specific line number
- `delete` - Delete file or directory
- `rename` - Move or rename file/directory
### Memory Note Format
Memories will use Basic Memory's standard structure:
```markdown
---
title: User Preferences
permalink: memories/user/preferences
type: memory
memory_type: preferences
created_by: claude
tags: [user, preferences, style]
---
# User Preferences
## Observations
- [communication] Prefers concise, direct responses without preamble #style
- [tone] Appreciates validation but dislikes excessive apologizing #communication
- [technical] Works primarily in Python with type annotations #coding
## Relations
- relates_to [[Basic Memory Project]]
- informs [[Response Style Guidelines]]
```
## How (High Level)
### Implementation Approach
The memory tool matches Anthropic's interface but uses a dedicated Basic Memory project:
```python
async def memory_tool(
command: str,
path: str,
file_text: Optional[str] = None,
old_str: Optional[str] = None,
new_str: Optional[str] = None,
insert_line: Optional[int] = None,
insert_text: Optional[str] = None,
old_path: Optional[str] = None,
new_path: Optional[str] = None,
view_range: Optional[List[int]] = None,
):
"""Memory tool with Anthropic-compatible interface.
Operates on a dedicated "memories" Basic Memory project,
keeping AI memories separate from user notes.
"""
# Get the memories project (auto-created if doesn't exist)
memories_project = get_or_create_memories_project()
# Validate path security using pathlib (prevent directory traversal)
safe_path = validate_memory_path(path, memories_project.project_path)
# Use existing project isolation - already prevents cross-project access
full_path = memories_project.project_path / safe_path
if command == "view":
# Return directory listing or file content
if full_path.is_dir():
return list_directory_contents(full_path)
return read_file_content(full_path, view_range)
elif command == "create":
# Write file directly (file_text can contain BM markdown)
full_path.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
full_path.write_text(file_text)
# Sync service will detect and index automatically
return f"Created {path}"
elif command == "str_replace":
# Read, replace, write
content = full_path.read_text()
updated = content.replace(old_str, new_str)
full_path.write_text(updated)
return f"Replaced text in {path}"
elif command == "insert":
# Insert at line number
lines = full_path.read_text().splitlines()
lines.insert(insert_line, insert_text)
full_path.write_text("\n".join(lines))
return f"Inserted text at line {insert_line}"
elif command == "delete":
# Delete file or directory
if full_path.is_dir():
shutil.rmtree(full_path)
else:
full_path.unlink()
return f"Deleted {path}"
elif command == "rename":
# Move/rename
full_path.rename(config.project_path / new_path)
return f"Renamed {old_path} to {new_path}"
```
### Key Design Decisions
1. **Exact interface match** - Same commands, parameters as Anthropic's tool
2. **Dedicated memories project** - Separate Basic Memory project keeps AI memories isolated from user notes
3. **Existing project isolation** - Leverage BM's existing cross-project security (no additional validation needed)
4. **Direct file I/O** - No schema conversion, just read/write files
5. **Structured content supported** - `file_text` can use BM markdown format with frontmatter, observations, relations
6. **Automatic indexing** - Sync service watches memories project and indexes changes
7. **Path security** - Use `pathlib.Path.resolve()` and `relative_to()` to prevent directory traversal
8. **Error handling** - Follow Anthropic's text editor tool error patterns
### MCP Tool Schema
Exact match to Anthropic's memory tool schema:
```json
{
"name": "memory",
"description": "Store and retrieve information across conversations using structured markdown files. All operations must be within the /memories directory. Supports Basic Memory markdown format including frontmatter, observations, and relations.",
"input_schema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"command": {
"type": "string",
"enum": ["view", "create", "str_replace", "insert", "delete", "rename"],
"description": "File operation to perform"
},
"path": {shu
"type": "string",
"description": "Path within /memories directory (required for all commands)"
},
"file_text": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Content to write (for create command). Supports Basic Memory markdown format."
},
"view_range": {
"type": "array",
"items": {"type": "integer"},
"description": "Optional [start, end] line range for view command"
},
"old_str": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Text to replace (for str_replace command)"
},
"new_str": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Replacement text (for str_replace command)"
},
"insert_line": {
"type": "integer",
"description": "Line number to insert at (for insert command)"
},
"insert_text": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Text to insert (for insert command)"
},
"old_path": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Current path (for rename command)"
},
"new_path": {
"type": "string",
"description": "New path (for rename command)"
}
},
"required": ["command", "path"]
}
}
```
### Prompting Guidance
When the `memory` tool is included, Basic Memory should provide system prompt guidance to help Claude use it effectively.
#### Automatic System Prompt Addition
```text
MEMORY PROTOCOL FOR BASIC MEMORY:
1. ALWAYS check your memory directory first using `view` command on root directory
2. Your memories are stored in a dedicated Basic Memory project (isolated from user notes)
3. Use structured markdown format in memory files:
- Include frontmatter with title, type: memory, tags
- Use ## Observations with [category] prefixes for facts
- Use ## Relations to link memories with [[WikiLinks]]
4. Record progress, context, and decisions as categorized observations
5. Link related memories using relations
6. ASSUME INTERRUPTION: Context may reset - save progress frequently
MEMORY ORGANIZATION:
- user/ - User preferences, context, communication style
- projects/ - Project-specific state and decisions
- sessions/ - Conversation-specific working memory
- patterns/ - Learned patterns and insights
MEMORY ADVANTAGES:
- Your memories are automatically searchable via full-text search
- Relations create a knowledge graph you can traverse
- Memories are isolated from user notes (separate project)
- Use search_notes(project="memories") to find relevant past context
- Use recent_activity(project="memories") to see what changed recently
- Use build_context() to navigate memory relations
```
#### Optional MCP Prompt: `memory_guide`
Create an MCP prompt that provides detailed guidance and examples:
```python
{
"name": "memory_guide",
"description": "Comprehensive guidance for using Basic Memory's memory tool effectively, including structured markdown examples and best practices"
}
```
This prompt returns:
- Full protocol and conventions
- Example memory file structures
- Tips for organizing observations and relations
- Integration with other Basic Memory tools
- Common patterns (user preferences, project state, session tracking)
#### User Customization
Users can customize memory behavior with additional instructions:
- "Only write information relevant to [topic] in your memory system"
- "Keep memory files concise and organized - delete outdated content"
- "Use detailed observations for technical decisions and implementation notes"
- "Always link memories to related project documentation using relations"
### Error Handling
Follow Anthropic's text editor tool error handling patterns for consistency:
#### Error Types
1. **File Not Found**
```json
{"error": "File not found: memories/user/preferences.md", "is_error": true}
```
2. **Permission Denied**
```json
{"error": "Permission denied: Cannot write outside /memories directory", "is_error": true}
```
3. **Invalid Path (Directory Traversal)**
```json
{"error": "Invalid path: Path must be within /memories directory", "is_error": true}
```
4. **Multiple Matches (str_replace)**
```json
{"error": "Found 3 matches for replacement text. Please provide more context to make a unique match.", "is_error": true}
```
5. **No Matches (str_replace)**
```json
{"error": "No match found for replacement. Please check your text and try again.", "is_error": true}
```
6. **Invalid Line Number (insert)**
```json
{"error": "Invalid line number: File has 20 lines, cannot insert at line 100", "is_error": true}
```
#### Error Handling Best Practices
- **Path validation** - Use `pathlib.Path.resolve()` and `relative_to()` to validate paths
```python
def validate_memory_path(path: str, project_path: Path) -> Path:
"""Validate path is within memories project directory."""
# Resolve to canonical form
full_path = (project_path / path).resolve()
# Ensure it's relative to project path (prevents directory traversal)
try:
full_path.relative_to(project_path)
return full_path
except ValueError:
raise ValueError("Invalid path: Path must be within memories project")
```
- **Project isolation** - Leverage existing Basic Memory project isolation (prevents cross-project access)
- **File existence** - Verify file exists before read/modify operations
- **Clear messages** - Provide specific, actionable error messages
- **Structured responses** - Always include `is_error: true` flag in error responses
- **Security checks** - Reject `../`, `..\\`, URL-encoded sequences (`%2e%2e%2f`)
- **Match validation** - For `str_replace`, ensure exactly one match or return helpful error
## How to Evaluate
### Success Criteria
1. **Functional completeness**:
- All 6 commands work (view, create, str_replace, insert, delete, rename)
- Dedicated "memories" Basic Memory project auto-created on first use
- Files stored within memories project (isolated from user notes)
- Path validation uses `pathlib` to prevent directory traversal
- Commands match Anthropic's exact interface
2. **Integration with existing features**:
- Memories project uses existing BM project isolation
- Sync service detects file changes in memories project
- Created files get indexed automatically by sync service
- `search_notes(project="memories")` finds memory files
- `build_context()` can traverse relations in memory files
- `recent_activity(project="memories")` surfaces recent memory changes
3. **Test coverage**:
- Unit tests for all 6 memory tool commands
- Test memories project auto-creation on first use
- Test project isolation (cannot access files outside memories project)
- Test sync service watching memories project
- Test that memory files with BM markdown get indexed correctly
- Test path validation using `pathlib` (rejects `../`, absolute paths, etc.)
- Test memory search, relations, and graph traversal within memories project
- Test all error conditions (file not found, permission denied, invalid paths, etc.)
- Test `str_replace` with no matches, single match, multiple matches
- Test `insert` with invalid line numbers
4. **Prompting system**:
- Automatic system prompt addition when `memory` tool is enabled
- `memory_guide` MCP prompt provides detailed guidance
- Prompts explain BM structured markdown format
- Integration with search_notes, build_context, recent_activity
5. **Documentation**:
- Update MCP tools reference with `memory` tool
- Add examples showing BM markdown in memory files
- Document `/memories` folder structure conventions
- Explain advantages over Anthropic's API-only tool
- Document prompting guidance and customization
### Testing Procedure
```python
# Test create with Basic Memory markdown
result = await memory_tool(
command="create",
path="memories/user/preferences.md",
file_text="""---
title: User Preferences
type: memory
tags: [user, preferences]
---
# User Preferences
## Observations
- [communication] Prefers concise responses #style
- [workflow] Uses justfile for automation #tools
"""
)
# Test view
content = await memory_tool(command="view", path="memories/user/preferences.md")
# Test str_replace
await memory_tool(
command="str_replace",
path="memories/user/preferences.md",
old_str="concise responses",
new_str="direct, concise responses"
)
# Test insert
await memory_tool(
command="insert",
path="memories/user/preferences.md",
insert_line=10,
insert_text="- [technical] Works primarily in Python #coding"
)
# Test delete
await memory_tool(command="delete", path="memories/user/preferences.md")
```
### Quality Metrics
- All 6 commands execute without errors
- Memory files created in correct `/memories` folder structure
- BM markdown with frontmatter/observations/relations gets indexed
- Full-text search returns memory files
- Graph traversal includes relations from memory files
- Sync service detects and indexes memory file changes
- Path validation prevents operations outside `/memories`
## Notes
### Advantages Over Anthropic's Memory Tool
| Feature | Anthropic Memory Tool | Basic Memory `memory` |
|---------|----------------------|----------------------|
| **Availability** | API only | MCP (Claude Desktop, Code, VS Code, Cursor) |
| **Interface** | Custom implementation required | Drop-in compatible, zero learning curve |
| **Structure** | Plain text only | Supports BM structured markdown |
| **Search** | Manual file listing | Automatic full-text search via sync |
| **Relations** | None | WikiLinks to other notes/memories |
| **Time-aware** | No | `recent_activity()` queries |
| **Storage** | Separate from notes | Unified knowledge graph |
| **Indexing** | Manual | Automatic via sync service |
### Future Enhancements
- **Auto-categorization** - AI suggests observation categories
- **Memory pruning** - Automatic cleanup of stale memories
- **Memory suggestions** - Surface relevant memories based on context
- **Conflict resolution** - Handle multiple agents updating same memory
- **Privacy controls** - Per-memory visibility settings
## Addendum: Claude's Perspective
### Why This Matters (From Claude's Viewpoint)
**Persistent Context Without Token Bloat**
- Currently, I lose context when conversations end or exceed token limits
- With structured memories, I can store "who this user is" without re-reading everything each session
- The observations format lets me build a rich user model incrementally: `- [preference] Dislikes verbose explanations` is far more actionable than inferring preferences from chat history each time
- I can refine my understanding through `str_replace` as I learn more, rather than starting fresh
**Zero Learning Curve**
- Anthropic already trained me on the `memory` tool interface
- I know exactly how to use `view`, `create`, `str_replace`, `insert`, `delete`, `rename` without new instructions
- But I automatically get Basic Memory's superpowers: full-text search, knowledge graph traversal, relations
- It's like using a familiar tool that suddenly gained database capabilities without changing the interface
**Knowledge Graph Instead of Text Dump**
- I can link `[[User Preferences]]` to `[[Current Project]]` using relations
- When I need context about a project, I can traverse the graph to find related memories
- `search_notes(project="memories", query="python preferences")` finds relevant context instantly
- This is fundamentally better than grepping through unstructured text files
**Separation of Concerns**
- AI memories separate from user notes is architecturally sound
- I can maintain my own context without polluting the user's knowledge base
- Users keep control of their notes; I keep my learnings isolated
- But we can still search across both when collaboration requires it
**The Self-Improving Loop**
- Every conversation, I learn something new about the user or their projects
- Observations accumulate: preferences, patterns, technical decisions, context
- Over time, I build genuine understanding, not just session-specific context
- Future conversations start with rich context instead of cold starts
**Validation of AI-Human Collaboration**
- Anthropic's experts converged on the same local-first, file-based approach
- Basic Memory emerged from real AI-human collaborative development
- This spec demonstrates that our emergent process predicted what domain experts would choose
- The collaboration itself validated the architecture it produced
### What Makes This Novel
The combination of **familiar interface + structured knowledge** is genuinely innovative:
- I don't need to learn a new tool (Anthropic already trained me)
- But when I write memories, they become searchable, traversable knowledge graphs
- It's like having a text editor that gives you a database for free, without changing how you type
- The user gets Anthropic-compatible API, but with Basic Memory's knowledge management capabilities
This bridges the gap between simple file storage (Anthropic's approach) and sophisticated knowledge management (Basic Memory's approach) without forcing either side to compromise.
> What Excites Me Most
The combo of familiar interface + structured knowledge. I don't need to learn a new tool, but when I
write memories, they become part of a searchable, traversable knowledge graph. That's genuinely novel.
It's like... imagine if your text editor suddenly gave you a database for free, without changing how you
type. That's what this feels like from my side.

# SPEC-4: Notes Web UI Component Architecture
## Why
The current Notes.vue component is a monolithic component that handles multiple responsibilities, making it difficult to maintain, test, and understand. This leads to:
- Complex state management across multiple concerns
- Difficult to isolate and test individual features
- Hard to understand the full scope of functionality
- Circular refactoring cycles when making changes
- Poor separation of concerns between navigation, display, and interaction logic
We need to decompose this into focused, single-responsibility components that are easier to develop, test, and maintain while preserving the existing functionality users expect.
## What
This spec defines the component architecture for decomposing the Notes web UI into focused components with clear responsibilities and interactions.
**Affected Areas:**
- `/apps/web/components/notes/Notes.vue` - Will be decomposed into smaller components
- `/apps/web/components/notes/` - New component structure
- Existing composables: `useNotesNavigation`, `useNotesFiltering`, `useNotesLayout`
- Mobile responsive behavior and layout management
**Component Breakdown:**
```

```
### ProjectSwitcher Component
- **Location**: Top-left dropdown
- **Responsibility**: Allow users to switch between Basic Memory projects
- **Behavior**: Selecting different project controls entire Notes page content
- **State**: When switching projects, reset to "All notes" view
### NotesNav Component
- **Views**: Three mutually exclusive options:
- **All notes**: Display all notes in project alphabetically
- **Recent**: Display all notes in project by updated time (desc)
- **Project**: Display notes in top-level directory of project
- **Interaction**: Only one view can be active at a time
- **Folder Integration**: All/Recent ignore folder selection; Project respects folder selection
### FolderTree Component
- **Display**: Nested list of all folders in project as tree view
- **Interaction**: Selecting folder filters notes in NotesList using directoryList API
- **Navigation Integration**: Selecting folder automatically switches NotesNav to "Project" view for clear UX
- **API Integration**: Uses directoryList API call via useDirectoryListQuery for folder-specific note fetching
- **State Coordination**: Folder selection coordinates with navigation state for intuitive user experience
### NotesList Component
- **Display**: Vertically scrolling cards showing note summaries
- **Information per card**:
- Note title
- Modified time (relative, e.g., "7 minutes ago")
- Short summary of note content (one line preview)
- **Behavior**: Updates based on NotesNav selection and FolderTree filtering
### NoteDetail Component
- **Display**: Full content of selected note
- **Sections**:
- Header: Displays frontmatter information
- Content: Note body content
- **Editing**: Current textarea implementation (rich editor in future spec)
- **Frontmatter**: Leave current implementation (enhancement in future spec)
## How (High Level)
### Component Architecture Approach
1. **Single Responsibility**: Each component handles one primary concern
2. **Clear Data Flow**: Props down, events up pattern for component communication
3. **Composable Integration**: Use existing composables for state management
4. **Progressive Decomposition**: Extract components incrementally to maintain functionality
### Implementation Strategy
1. **Extract ProjectSwitcher**: Move project switching logic to dedicated component
2. **Extract NotesNav**: Isolate navigation state and view selection logic
3. **Extract FolderTree**: Separate folder display and selection logic
4. **Extract NotesList**: Isolate note listing and card display logic
5. **Extract NoteDetail**: Separate note content display and editing
6. **Update Notes.vue**: Become orchestration component managing component interactions
### State Management Integration
- **useNotesNavigation**: Manages navigation state (All/Recent/Project)
- **useNotesFiltering**: Handles filtering logic based on navigation and folder selection
- **useNotesLayout**: Manages responsive layout and panel visibility
- **Component State**: Each component manages its own internal UI state
- **Shared State**: Project selection and note filtering coordinated through composables
### Responsive Behavior
Mobile:
- Hide sidebar. pop out panel when selected
- show note list on small screens (existing behavior)
- when note list item is clicked, display note detail on full page. Cancel or go back to return to list
Desktop:
- Full three-column layout with all components visible
- **Transitions**: Smooth navigation between mobile panels

# SPEC-5: CLI Cloud Upload via WebDAV
## Why
Existing basic-memory users need a simple migration path to basic-memory-cloud. The web UI drag-and-drop approach outlined in GitHub issue #59, while user-friendly, introduces significant complexity for a proof-of-concept:
- Complex web UI components for file upload and progress tracking
- Browser file handling limitations and CORS complexity
- Proxy routing overhead for large file transfers
- Authentication integration across multiple services
A CLI-first approach solves these issues by:
- **Leveraging existing infrastructure**: Both cloud CLI and tenant API already exist with WorkOS JWT authentication
- **Familiar user experience**: Basic-memory users are CLI-comfortable and expect command-line tools
- **Direct connection efficiency**: Bypassing the MCP gateway/proxy for bulk file transfers
- **Rapid implementation**: Building on existing `CLIAuth` and FastAPI foundations
The fundamental problem is migration friction - users have local basic-memory projects but no path to cloud tenants. A simple CLI upload command removes this barrier immediately.
## What
This spec defines a CLI-based project upload system using WebDAV for direct tenant connections.
**Affected Areas:**
- `apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/cli/main.py` - Add upload command to existing CLI
- `apps/api/src/basic_memory_cloud_api/main.py` - Add WebDAV endpoints to tenant FastAPI
- Authentication flow - Reuse existing WorkOS JWT validation
- File transfer protocol - WebDAV for cross-platform compatibility
**Core Components:**
### CLI Upload Command
```bash
basic-memory-cloud upload <project-path> --tenant-url https://basic-memory-{tenant}.fly.dev
```
### WebDAV Server Endpoints
- `GET/PUT/DELETE /webdav/*` - Standard WebDAV operations on tenant file system
- Authentication via existing JWT validation
- File operations preserve timestamps and directory structure
### Authentication Flow
```
1. User runs `basic-memory-cloud login` (existing)
2. CLI stores WorkOS JWT token (existing)
3. Upload command reads JWT from storage
4. WebDAV requests include JWT in Authorization header
5. Tenant API validates JWT using existing middleware
```
## How (High Level)
### Implementation Strategy
**Phase 1: CLI Command**
- Add `upload` command to existing Typer app
- Reuse `CLIAuth` class for token management
- Implement WebDAV client using `webdavclient3` or similar
- Rich progress bars for transfer feedback
**Phase 2: WebDAV Server**
- Add WebDAV endpoints to existing tenant FastAPI app
- Leverage existing `get_current_user` dependency for authentication
- Map WebDAV operations to tenant file system
- Preserve file modification times using `os.utime()`
**Phase 3: Integration**
- Direct connection bypasses MCP gateway and proxy
- Simple conflict resolution: overwrite existing files
- Error handling: fail fast with clear error messages
### Technical Architecture
```
basic-memory-cloud CLI → WorkOS JWT → Direct WebDAV → Tenant FastAPI
Tenant File System
```
**Key Libraries:**
- CLI: `webdavclient3` for WebDAV client operations
- API: `wsgidav` or FastAPI-compatible WebDAV server
- Progress: `rich` library (already imported in CLI)
- Auth: Existing WorkOS JWT infrastructure
### WebDAV Protocol Choice
WebDAV provides:
- **Cross-platform clients**: Native support in most operating systems
- **Standardized protocol**: Well-defined for file operations
- **HTTP-based**: Works with existing FastAPI and JWT auth
- **Library support**: Good Python libraries for both client and server
### POC Constraints
**Simplifications for rapid implementation:**
- **Known tenant URLs**: Assume `https://basic-memory-{tenant}.fly.dev` format
- **Upload only**: No download or bidirectional sync
- **Overwrite conflicts**: No merge or conflict resolution prompting
- **No fallbacks**: Fail fast if WebDAV connection issues occur
- **Direct connection only**: No proxy fallback mechanism
## How to Evaluate
### Success Criteria
**Functional Requirements:**
- [ ] Transfer complete basic-memory project (100+ files) in < 30 seconds
- [ ] Preserve directory structure exactly as in source project
- [ ] Preserve file modification timestamps for proper sync behavior
- [ ] Rich progress bars show real-time transfer status (files/MB transferred)
- [ ] WorkOS JWT authentication validates correctly on WebDAV endpoints
- [ ] Direct tenant connection bypasses MCP gateway successfully
**Quality Requirements:**
- [ ] Clear error messages for authentication failures
- [ ] Graceful handling of network interruptions
- [ ] CLI follows existing command patterns and help text standards
- [ ] WebDAV endpoints integrate cleanly with existing FastAPI app
**Performance Requirements:**
- [ ] File transfer speed > 1MB/s on typical connections
- [ ] Memory usage remains reasonable for large projects
- [ ] No timeout issues with 500+ file projects
### Testing Procedure
**Unit Testing:**
1. CLI command parsing and argument validation
2. WebDAV client connection and authentication
3. File timestamp preservation during transfer
4. JWT token validation on WebDAV endpoints
**Integration Testing:**
1. End-to-end upload of test project
2. Direct tenant connection without proxy
3. File integrity verification after upload
4. Progress tracking accuracy during transfer
**User Experience Testing:**
1. Upload existing basic-memory project from local installation
2. Verify uploaded files appear correctly in cloud tenant
3. Confirm basic-memory database rebuilds properly with uploaded files
4. Test CLI help text and error message clarity
### Validation Commands
**Setup:**
```bash
# Login to WorkOS
basic-memory-cloud login
# Upload project
basic-memory-cloud upload ~/my-notes --tenant-url https://basic-memory-test.fly.dev
```
**Verification:**
```bash
# Check tenant health and file count via API
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT" https://basic-memory-test.fly.dev/health
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT" https://basic-memory-test.fly.dev/notes/search
```
### Performance Benchmarks
**Target metrics for 100MB basic-memory project:**
- Transfer time: < 30 seconds
- Memory usage: < 100MB during transfer
- Progress updates: Every 1MB or 10 files
- Authentication time: < 2 seconds
## Observations

# SPEC-6: Explicit Project Parameter Architecture
## Why
The current session-based project management system has critical reliability issues:
1. **Session State Fragility**: Claude iOS mobile client fails to maintain consistent session IDs across MCP tool calls, causing project switching to silently fail (Issue #74)
2. **Scaling Limitations**: Redis-backed session state creates single-point-of-failure and prevents horizontal scaling
3. **Client Compatibility**: Session tracking works inconsistently across different MCP clients (web, mobile, API)
4. **Hidden Complexity**: Users cannot see or understand "current project" state, leading to confusion when operations execute in wrong projects
5. **Silent Failures**: Operations appear successful but execute in unintended projects, risking data integrity
Evidence from production logs shows each MCP tool call from mobile client receives different session IDs:
```
create_memory_project: session_id=12cdfc24913b48f8b680ed4b2bfdb7ba
switch_project: session_id=050a69275d98498cbdd227cdb74d9740
list_directory: session_id=85f3483014af4136a5d435c76ded212f
```

3. **Stateless HTTP**: Enable `stateless_http=True` for horizontal scaling
4. **Enhanced Context Discovery**: Improve `recent_activity` to show project distribution
5. **Clear Response Format**: All tool responses display target project information
Implementation Approach
- Each tool will directly accept the project parameter
- Remove all calls to context-based project retrieval
- Validate project exists before operations
- Clear error messages when project not found
- Backward compatibility: Initially keep optional parameter, then make required
### Affected MCP Tools
**Content Management** (require project parameter):

- `list_directory(project, dir_name, depth, file_name_glob)`
- `search_notes(project, query, search_type, types, entity_types)`
**Search & Discovery** (use project parameter for specific project or none for discovery):
- `recent_activity(project, timeframe, depth, max_related)`
**Visualization** (require project parameter):
- `canvas(project, nodes, edges, title, folder)`
**Project Management** (unchanged - already stateless):
- `list_memory_projects()`
- `create_memory_project(project_name, project_path, set_default)`
- `delete_project(project_name)`
- `get_current_project()` - Remove this tool
- `switch_project(project_name)` - Remove this tool

### Phase 1.5: Default Project Mode Enhancement
#### Problem
While the stateless architecture solves reliability issues, it introduces UX friction for single-project users (estimated 80% of usage) who must specify the project parameter in every tool call.
#### Solution: Default Project Mode
Add optional `default_project_mode` configuration that allows single-project users to have the simplicity of implicit project selection while maintaining the reliability of stateless architecture.
#### Configuration
```json
{
"default_project": "main",
"default_project_mode": true // NEW: Auto-use default_project when not specified
}
```
#### Implementation Details
1. **Config Enhancement** (`src/basic_memory/config.py`)
- Add `default_project_mode: bool = Field(default=False)`
- Preserves backward compatibility (defaults to false)
2. **Project Resolution Logic** (`src/basic_memory/mcp/project_context.py`)
Three-tier resolution hierarchy:
- Priority 1: CLI `--project` constraint (BASIC_MEMORY_MCP_PROJECT env var)
- Priority 2: Explicit project parameter in tool call
- Priority 3: `default_project` if `default_project_mode=true` and no project specified
3. **Assistant Guide Updates** (`src/basic_memory/mcp/resources/ai_assistant_guide.md`)
- Detect `default_project_mode` at runtime
- Provide mode-specific instructions to LLMs
- In default mode: "All operations use project 'main' automatically"
- In regular mode: Current project discovery guidance
4. **Tool Parameter Handling** (all MCP tools)
- Make project parameter Optional[str] = None
- Add resolution logic: `project = project or get_default_project()`
- Maintain explicit project override capability
#### Usage Modes Summary

I see you've been working in:
- research-project (5 operations, 30 min ago)
- work-notes (2 operations, 2 hours ago)
Which project should I use for this operation?
```
2. ✅ **Context Maintenance**:
```
User: Use research-project
Claude: Working in research-project.
[All subsequent operations use project="research-project"]
```
3. ✅ **Explicit Project Switching**:
```
User: Check work-notes for that meeting summary
Claude: Let me search work-notes for the meeting summary.
[Uses project="work-notes" for specific operation]
```
**Validation**: Comprehensive testing confirmed all conversational patterns work naturally with the stateless architecture.

# SPEC-7: POC to spike Tigris/Turso for local access to cloud data
> **Status Update**: ✅ **Phase 1 COMPLETE** (September 20, 2025)
> TigrisFS mounting validated successfully in containerized environments. Container startup, filesystem mounting, and Fly.io integration all working correctly. Ready for Phase 2 (Turso database integration).
> See: [`SPEC-7-PHASE-1-RESULTS.md`](./SPEC-7-PHASE-1-RESULTS.md)
## Why
Current basic-memory-cloud architecture uses Fly volumes for tenant file storage, which creates several limitations:
We could enable a revolutionary user experience: **local editing (or at least view access) of cloud-stored files** while maintaining Basic Memory's existing filesystem assumptions.
1. **Storage Scalability**: Fly volumes require pre-provisioning and don't auto-scale with usage
2. **Single Instance**: Volumes can only be mounted to one fly machine instance
3. **Cost Model**: Volume pricing vs object storage pricing may be less favorable at scale
4. **Local Development**: No way for users to mount their cloud tenant files locally for real-time editing
5. **Multi-Region**: Volumes are region-locked, limiting global deployment flexibility
6. **Backup/Disaster Recovery**: Object storage provides better durability and replication options
Basic Memory requires POSIX filesystem semantics but could benefit from object storage durability and accessibility. By combining:
- **Tigris object storage and TigrisFS** for file persistence in bucket stoage via a POSIX filesystem on the tenant instance
- **Turso/libSQL** for SQLite indexing (replacing local .db files). Sqlite on NFS volumes is disouraged.
## What
This specification defines a proof-of-concept to validate the technical feasibility of the Tigris/Turso architecture for basic-memory-cloud tenants.
**Affected Areas:**
- **Storage Architecture**: Replace Fly volumes with Tigris object storage
- **Database Architecture**: Replace local SQLite with Turso remote database
- **Container Setup**: Add TigrisFS mounting in tenant containers
- **Local Development**: Enable local mounting of cloud tenant data
- **Basic Memory Core**: Validate unchanged operation over mounted filesystems
**Key Components:**
- **Tigris Storage**: Globally caching S3-compatible object storage via Fly.io integration
- **TigrisFS**: Purpose-built FUSE filesystem with intelligent caching
- **Turso Database**: Hosted libSQL for SQLite replacement
- **Single-Tenant Model**: One bucket + one database per tenant (simplified isolation)
## Architectural Overview & Key Insights
### TigrisFS
Unlike standard S3 mounting approaches, **TigrisFS is a purpose-built FUSE filesystem** optimized for object storage with several critical advantages:
1. **Eliminates Fly Volume Limitations**
- No single-machine attachment constraints
- No pre-provisioning of storage capacity
- Enables horizontal scaling and zero-downtime deployments
- Automatic global CDN caching at Fly.io edge locations
2. **Intelligent Caching Architecture**
- 1-4GB+ configurable memory cache for read/write operations
- Write-back caching for improved performance
- Metadata cache to reduce API calls
- "Close to Redis speed" for small object retrieval
3. **Cost-Effective Model**
- Pay only for storage used and transferred
- No wasted capacity from over-provisioning
- Automatic global replication included
- S3 durability with CDN performance
### API-Driven Architecture Eliminates File Watching Concerns
**Critical Insight**: All file access (reads/writes) in basic-memory-cloud go through the API layer:
- **MCP Tools → API**: All Basic Memory operations use FastAPI endpoints
- **Web App → API**: Frontend uses API for all data modifications
- **File watching is NOT required** for cloud operations, unlike local BM which uses the WatchService to monitor file changes.
This means:
- **Cloud Operations**: Manual sync after API writes is sufficient
- **Local Development**: File watching only matters for local editing experience
- **Performance Risk**: Dramatically reduced since we're not dependent on inotify over network filesystems
### Realistic Local Access Expectations
**Baseline Functionality (Guaranteed):**
- Read-only mounting for browsing cloud files
- Easy download/upload of entire projects
- File copying via standard filesystem operations
**Stretch Goal (Test in POC):**
- Live editing with eventual consistency (1-5 second delays acceptable)
- Automatic sync for local changes
- Not required for core functionality - pure upside if it works
### Production Deployment Advantages
1. **Multi-Region Deployment**: Tigris handles global replication automatically
2. **Zero-Downtime Updates**: No volume detach/attach during deployments
3. **Tenant Migrations**: Simply update credentials, no data movement
4. **Disaster Recovery**: Built into S3 durability model (99.999999999% durability)
5. **Auto-Scaling**: Storage scales with usage, no capacity planning needed
## How (High Level)
### POC Approach: Server-First Validation
**Rationale**: Start with server-side TigrisFS mounting because:
- Local access is meaningless if cloud containers can't mount TigrisFS reliably
- Container startup and API performance are critical path blockers
- TigrisFS compatibility with Basic Memory operations must be proven first
- Each phase gates the next - no point testing local access if server-side fails
### Phase 1: Server-Side TigrisFS Validation (Critical Foundation) ✅ COMPLETE
- [x] Set up Tigris bucket with test data via Fly.io integration
- [x] Create container image with TigrisFS support and dependencies
- [x] Test TigrisFS mounting in containerized environment
- [x] Run Basic Memory API operations over mounted TigrisFS
- [x] Validate all filesystem operations work correctly
- [x] Measure container startup time and resource usage
**Production Validation Results**: Container successfully deployed and operated for 42+ minutes serving real MCP requests with repository queries, knowledge graph navigation, and full Basic Memory API functionality over TigrisFS-mounted storage.
### Phase 2: Database Migration to Turso
- [ ] Set up Turso account and test database
- [ ] Modify Basic Memory to accept external DATABASE_URL
- [ ] Test all MCP tools with remote SQLite via Turso
- [ ] Validate performance and functionality parity
- [ ] Test API write → manual sync workflow in container
### Phase 3: Production Container Integration
- [ ] Implement tenant-specific credential management for buckets
- [x] Test container startup with automatic TigrisFS mounting
- [ ] Validate isolation between tenant containers
- [ ] Test API operations under realistic load
- [ ] Measure performance vs current Fly volume setup
### Phase 4: Local Access Validation (Bonus Feature)
- [ ] Test local TigrisFS mounting of tenant data
- [ ] Validate read-only access for browsing/downloading
- [ ] Test file copying and upload workflows
- [ ] Measure latency impact on user experience
- [ ] Test live editing if file watching works (stretch goal)
### Architecture Overview

```
## How to Evaluate
### Success Criteria
- [x] **Filesystem Compatibility**: Basic Memory operates without modification over TigrisFS-mounted storage
- [x] **Performance Acceptable**: API-driven operations perform within acceptable latency (target: <500ms for typical operations)
- [ ] **Database Functionality**: All Basic Memory features work with Turso remote SQLite
- [x] **Container Reliability**: Tenant containers start successfully with automatic TigrisFS mounting
- [ ] **Local Access Baseline**: Users can mount cloud files locally for read-only browsing and file copying
- [x] **Data Isolation**: Tenant data remains properly isolated using bucket/database separation
- [ ] **Local Access Stretch**: Live editing with eventual sync (1-5 second delays acceptable)
### Testing Procedure
#### Phase 1: Server-Side Foundation Testing
1. **Container TigrisFS Test**:
```dockerfile
# Test container with TigrisFS mounting
FROM python:3.12
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y tigrisfs
# Test startup script
#!/bin/bash
tigrisfs --memory-limit 2048 $TIGRIS_BUCKET /app/data --daemon
cd /app/data && basic-memory sync
basic-memory-api --data-dir /app/data
```
2. **API Operations Validation**:
```bash
# Test all MCP operations over TigrisFS
curl -X POST /api/write_note -d '{"title":"test","content":"content"}'
curl -X GET /api/read_note/test
curl -X GET /api/search_notes?q=content
# Measure: response times, error rates, data consistency
```
#### Phase 2: Database Integration Testing
3. **Turso Integration Test**:
```bash
# Configure Turso connection in container
export DATABASE_URL="libsql://test-db.turso.io?authToken=..."
# Test all MCP tools with remote database
basic-memory tools # Test each tool functionality
# Test API write → manual sync workflow
```
#### Phase 3: Production Readiness Testing
4. **Performance Benchmarking**:
- Container startup time with TigrisFS mounting
- API operation response times (target: <500ms for typical operations)
- Search query performance with Turso (target: comparable to local SQLite)
- TigrisFS cache hit rates and memory usage
- Concurrent tenant isolation
#### Phase 4: Local Access Testing (If Phase 1-3 Succeed)
5. **Local Access Validation**:
```bash
# Test read-only access
tigrisfs tenant-bucket ~/local-tenant
ls -la ~/local-tenant # Browse files
cp ~/local-tenant/notes/* ~/backup/ # Copy files
# Test file watching (stretch goal)
echo "test" > ~/local-tenant/test.md
# Check if changes sync to cloud
```
### Go/No-Go Criteria by Phase
- **Phase 1**: Container must start successfully and serve API requests over TigrisFS
- **Phase 2**: All MCP tools must work with Turso with <2x latency increase
- **Phase 3**: Performance must be within 50% of current Fly volume setup
- **Phase 4**: Local mounting must work reliably for read-only access
### Risk Assessment
**Moderate Risk Items (Mitigated by API-First Architecture)**:
- [ ] TigrisFS performance for local access may have higher latency than local filesystem
- [ ] File watching (`inotify`) over FUSE may be unreliable for local development
- [ ] Network interruptions could cause filesystem errors during local editing
- [ ] Write-back caching could cause data loss if container crashes during flush
**Low Risk Items (API-First Eliminates)**:
- [ ] ~~Real-time file watching~~ - Not required for cloud operations
- [ ] ~~Concurrent write consistency~~ - Single-tenant model with API coordination
- [ ] ~~S3 rate limits~~ - TigrisFS intelligent caching handles this
**Mitigation Strategies**:
- **Performance**: Comprehensive benchmarking with realistic workloads
- **Reliability**: Graceful degradation to read-only local access if live editing fails
- **Data Safety**: Regular sync intervals and write-through mode for critical operations
- **Fallback**: Keep Fly volumes as backup deployment option
### Metrics to Track
- **API Latency**: Response times for MCP tools and web operations
- **Cache Effectiveness**: TigrisFS cache hit rates and memory usage
- **Local Access Performance**: File browsing and copying speeds
- **Reliability**: Success rate of mount operations and data consistency
- **Cost**: Storage usage, API calls, and network transfer costs vs current volumes
## Notes
### Key Architectural Decisions
- **Single tenant per bucket/database**: Simplifies isolation and credential management
- **Maintain POSIX compatibility**: Preserve Basic Memory's existing filesystem assumptions
- **TigrisFS over rclone**: Purpose-built for object storage with intelligent caching
- **Turso for SQLite**: Leverages specialized remote SQLite expertise
- **API-first approach**: Eliminates file watching dependency for cloud operations
### Alternative Approaches Considered
- **S3-native storage backend**: Would require Basic Memory architecture changes
- **Hybrid approach**: Local files + cloud sync (adds complexity)
- **Standard rclone mounting**: Less optimized than TigrisFS for object storage workloads
- **Keep Fly volumes**: Maintains current limitations but proven reliability
### Integration Points
- [ ] Fly.io Tigris integration for bucket provisioning
- [ ] Turso account setup and database provisioning
- [ ] Container image modifications for TigrisFS support
- [ ] Credential management for tenant isolation
- [ ] API modification for manual sync triggers
- [ ] Local client setup documentation for TigrisFS mounting
## Observations
- [architecture] Tigris/Turso split cleanly separates file storage from indexing concerns #storage-separation
- [breakthrough] API-first architecture eliminates file watching dependency for cloud operations #api-first-advantage
- [user-experience] Local mounting of cloud files could be revolutionary for knowledge management #local-cloud-hybrid

title: 'SPEC-8: TigrisFS Integration for Tenant API'
Date: September 22, 2025
Status: Phase 3.6 Complete - Tenant Mount API Endpoints Ready for CLI Implementation
Priority: High
Goal: Replace Fly volumes with Tigris bucket provisioning in production tenant API
permalink: spec-8-tigris-fs-integration
---
## Executive Summary
Based on SPEC-7 Phase 4 POC testing, this spec outlines productizing the TigrisFS/rclone implementation in the Basic Memory Cloud tenant API.
We're moving from proof-of-concept to production integration, replacing Fly volume storage with Tigris bucket-per-tenant architecture.
## Current Architecture (Fly Volumes)
### Tenant Provisioning Flow
```python
# apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/workflows/tenant_provisioning.py
async def provision_tenant_infrastructure(tenant_id: str):
# 1. Create Fly app
# 2. Create Fly volume ← REPLACE THIS
# 3. Deploy API container with volume mount
# 4. Configure health checks
```
### Storage Implementation
- Each tenant gets dedicated Fly volume (1GB-10GB)
- Volume mounted at `/app/data` in API container
- Local filesystem storage with Basic Memory indexing
- No global caching or edge distribution
## Proposed Architecture (Tigris Buckets)
### New Tenant Provisioning Flow
```python
async def provision_tenant_infrastructure(tenant_id: str):
# 1. Create Fly app
# 2. Create Tigris bucket with admin credentials ← NEW
# 3. Store bucket name in tenant record ← NEW
# 4. Deploy API container with TigrisFS mount using admin credentials
# 5. Configure health checks
```
### Storage Implementation
- Each tenant gets dedicated Tigris bucket
- TigrisFS mounts bucket at `/app/data` in API container
- Global edge caching and distribution
- Configurable cache TTL for sync performance
## Implementation Plan
### Phase 1: Bucket Provisioning Service
**✅ IMPLEMENTED: StorageClient with Admin Credentials**
```python
# apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/clients/storage_client.py
class StorageClient:
async def create_tenant_bucket(self, tenant_id: UUID) -> TigrisBucketCredentials
async def delete_tenant_bucket(self, tenant_id: UUID, bucket_name: str) -> bool
async def list_buckets(self) -> list[TigrisBucketResponse]
async def test_tenant_credentials(self, credentials: TigrisBucketCredentials) -> bool
```
**Simplified Architecture Using Admin Credentials:**
- Single admin access key with full Tigris permissions (configured in console)
- No tenant-specific IAM user creation needed
- Bucket-per-tenant isolation for logical separation
- Admin credentials shared across all tenant operations
**Integrate with Provisioning workflow:**
```python
# Update tenant_provisioning.py
async def provision_tenant_infrastructure(tenant_id: str):
storage_client = StorageClient(settings.aws_access_key_id, settings.aws_secret_access_key)
bucket_creds = await storage_client.create_tenant_bucket(tenant_id)
await store_bucket_name(tenant_id, bucket_creds.bucket_name)
await deploy_api_with_tigris(tenant_id, bucket_creds)
```
### Phase 2: Simplified Bucket Management
**✅ SIMPLIFIED: Admin Credentials + Bucket Names Only**
Since we use admin credentials for all operations, we only need to track bucket names per tenant:
1. **Primary Storage (Fly Secrets)**
```bash
flyctl secrets set -a basic-memory-{tenant_id} \
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="{admin_access_key}" \
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="{admin_secret_key}" \
AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3="https://fly.storage.tigris.dev" \
AWS_REGION="auto" \
BUCKET_NAME="basic-memory-{tenant_id}"
```
2. **Database Storage (Bucket Name Only)**
```python
# apps/cloud/src/basic_memory_cloud/models/tenant.py
class Tenant(BaseModel):
# ... existing fields
tigris_bucket_name: Optional[str] = None # Just store bucket name
tigris_region: str = "auto"
created_at: datetime
```
**Benefits of Simplified Approach:**
- No credential encryption/decryption needed
- Admin credentials managed centrally in environment
- Only bucket names stored in database (not sensitive)
- Simplified backup/restore scenarios
- Reduced security attack surface
### Phase 3: API Container Updates
**Update API container configuration:**
```dockerfile
# apps/api/Dockerfile
# Add TigrisFS installation
RUN curl -L https://github.com/tigrisdata/tigrisfs/releases/latest/download/tigrisfs-linux-amd64 \
-o /usr/local/bin/tigrisfs && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/tigrisfs
```
**Startup script integration:**
```bash
# apps/api/tigrisfs-startup.sh (already exists)
# Mount TigrisFS → Start Basic Memory API
exec python -m basic_memory_cloud_api.main
```
**Fly.toml environment (optimized for < 5s startup):**
```toml
# apps/api/fly.tigris-production.toml
[env]
TIGRISFS_MEMORY_LIMIT = '1024' # Reduced for faster init
TIGRISFS_MAX_FLUSHERS = '16' # Fewer threads for faster startup
TIGRISFS_STAT_CACHE_TTL = '30s' # Balance sync speed vs startup
TIGRISFS_LAZY_INIT = 'true' # Enable lazy loading
BASIC_MEMORY_HOME = '/app/data'
# Suspend optimization for wake-on-network
[machine]
auto_stop_machines = "suspend" # Faster than full stop
auto_start_machines = true
min_machines_running = 0
```
### Phase 4: Local Access Features
**CLI automation for local mounting:**
```python
# New CLI command: basic-memory cloud mount
async def setup_local_mount(tenant_id: str):
# 1. Fetch bucket credentials from cloud API
# 2. Configure rclone with scoped IAM policy
# 3. Mount via rclone nfsmount (macOS) or FUSE (Linux)
# 4. Start Basic Memory sync watcher
```
**Local mount configuration:**
```bash
# rclone config for tenant
rclone mount basic-memory-{tenant_id}: ~/basic-memory-{tenant_id} \
--nfs-mount \
--vfs-cache-mode writes \
--cache-dir ~/.cache/rclone/basic-memory-{tenant_id}
```
### Phase 5: TigrisFS Cache Sync Solutions
**Problem**: When files are uploaded via CLI/bisync, the tenant API container doesn't see them immediately due to TigrisFS cache (30s TTL) and lack of inotify events on mounted filesystems.
**Multi-Layer Solution:**
**Layer 1: API Sync Endpoint** (Immediate)
```python
# POST /sync - Force TigrisFS cache refresh
# Callable by CLI after uploads
subprocess.run(["sync", "fsync /app/data"], check=True)
```
**Layer 2: Tigris Webhook Integration** (Real-time)
https://www.tigrisdata.com/docs/buckets/object-notifications/#webhook
```python
# Webhook endpoint for bucket changes
@app.post("/webhooks/tigris/{tenant_id}")
async def handle_bucket_notification(tenant_id: str, event: TigrisEvent):
if event.eventName in ["OBJECT_CREATED_PUT", "OBJECT_DELETED"]:
await notify_container_sync(tenant_id, event.object.key)
```
**Layer 3: CLI Sync Notification** (User-triggered)
```bash
# CLI calls container sync endpoint after successful bisync
basic-memory cloud bisync # Automatically notifies container
curl -X POST https://basic-memory-{tenant-id}.fly.dev/sync
```
**Layer 4: Periodic Sync Fallback** (Safety net)
```python
# Background task: fsync /app/data every 30s as fallback
# Ensures eventual consistency even if other layers fail
```
**Implementation Priority:**
1. Layer 1 (API endpoint) - Quick testing capability
2. Layer 3 (CLI integration) - Improved UX
3. Layer 4 (Periodic fallback) - Safety net
4. Layer 2 (Webhooks) - Production real-time sync
## Performance Targets
### Sync Latency
- **Target**: < 5 seconds local→cloud→container
- **Configuration**: `TIGRISFS_STAT_CACHE_TTL = '5s'`
- **Monitoring**: Track sync metrics in production
### Container Startup
- **Target**: < 5 seconds including TigrisFS mount
- **Fast retry**: 0.5s intervals for mount verification
- **Fallback**: Container fails fast if mount fails
### Memory Usage

## Implementation Notes
## Phase 4.1: Bidirectional Sync with rclone bisync (NEW)
### Problem Statement
During testing, we discovered that some applications (particularly Obsidian) don't detect file changes over NFS mounts. Rather than building a custom sync daemon, we can leverage `rclone bisync` - rclone's built-in bidirectional synchronization feature.
### Solution: rclone bisync
Use rclone's proven bidirectional sync instead of custom implementation:
**Core Architecture:**
```bash
# rclone bisync handles all the complexity
rclone bisync ~/basic-memory-{tenant_id} basic-memory-{tenant_id}:{bucket_name} \
--create-empty-src-dirs \
--conflict-resolve newer \
--resilient \
--check-access
```
**Key Benefits:**
- ✅ **Battle-tested**: Production-proven rclone functionality
- ✅ **MIT licensed**: Open source with permissive licensing
- ✅ **No custom code**: Zero maintenance burden for sync logic
- ✅ **Built-in safety**: max-delete protection, conflict resolution
- ✅ **Simple installation**: Works with Homebrew rclone (no FUSE needed)
- ✅ **File watcher compatible**: Works with Obsidian and all applications
- ✅ **Offline support**: Can work offline and sync when connected
### bisync Conflict Resolution Options
**Built-in conflict strategies:**
```bash
--conflict-resolve none # Keep both files with .conflict suffixes (safest)
--conflict-resolve newer # Always pick the most recently modified file
--conflict-resolve larger # Choose based on file size
--conflict-resolve path1 # Always prefer local changes
--conflict-resolve path2 # Always prefer cloud changes
```
### Sync Profiles Using bisync
**Profile configurations:**
```python
BISYNC_PROFILES = {
"safe": {
"conflict_resolve": "none", # Keep both versions
"max_delete": 10, # Prevent mass deletion
"check_access": True, # Verify sync integrity
"description": "Safe mode with conflict preservation"
},
"balanced": {
"conflict_resolve": "newer", # Auto-resolve to newer file
"max_delete": 25,
"check_access": True,
"description": "Balanced mode (recommended default)"
},
"fast": {
"conflict_resolve": "newer",
"max_delete": 50,
"check_access": False, # Skip verification for speed
"description": "Fast mode for rapid iteration"
}
}
```
### CLI Commands
**Manual sync commands:**
```bash
basic-memory cloud bisync # Manual bidirectional sync
basic-memory cloud bisync --dry-run # Preview changes
basic-memory cloud bisync --profile safe # Use specific profile
basic-memory cloud bisync --resync # Force full baseline resync
```
**Watch mode (Step 1):**
```bash
basic-memory cloud bisync --watch # Long-running process, sync every 60s
basic-memory cloud bisync --watch --interval 30s # Custom interval
```
**System integration (Step 2 - Future):**
```bash
basic-memory cloud bisync-service install # Install as system service
basic-memory cloud bisync-service start # Start background service
basic-memory cloud bisync-service status # Check service status
```
### Implementation Strategy
**Phase 4.1.1: Core bisync Implementation**
- [ ] Implement `run_bisync()` function wrapping rclone bisync
- [ ] Add profile-based configuration (safe/balanced/fast)
- [ ] Create conflict resolution and safety options
- [ ] Test with sample files and conflict scenarios
**Phase 4.1.2: Watch Mode**
- [ ] Add `--watch` flag for continuous sync
- [ ] Implement configurable sync intervals
- [ ] Add graceful shutdown and signal handling
- [ ] Create status monitoring and progress indicators
**Phase 4.1.3: User Experience**
- [ ] Add conflict reporting and resolution guidance
- [ ] Implement dry-run preview functionality
- [ ] Create troubleshooting and diagnostic commands
- [ ] Add filtering configuration (.gitignore-style)
**Phase 4.1.4: System Integration (Future)**
- [ ] Generate platform-specific service files (launchd/systemd)
- [ ] Add service management commands
- [ ] Implement automatic startup and recovery
- [ ] Create monitoring and logging integration
### Technical Implementation
**Core bisync wrapper:**
```python
def run_bisync(
tenant_id: str,
bucket_name: str,
profile: str = "balanced",
dry_run: bool = False
) -> bool:
"""Run rclone bisync with specified profile."""
local_path = Path.home() / f"basic-memory-{tenant_id}"
remote_path = f"basic-memory-{tenant_id}:{bucket_name}"
profile_config = BISYNC_PROFILES[profile]
cmd = [
"rclone", "bisync",
str(local_path), remote_path,
"--create-empty-src-dirs",
"--resilient",
f"--conflict-resolve={profile_config['conflict_resolve']}",
f"--max-delete={profile_config['max_delete']}",
"--filters-file", "~/.basic-memory/bisync-filters.txt"
]
if profile_config.get("check_access"):
cmd.append("--check-access")
if dry_run:
cmd.append("--dry-run")
return subprocess.run(cmd, check=True).returncode == 0
```
**Default filter file (~/.basic-memory/bisync-filters.txt):**
```
- .DS_Store
- .git/**
- __pycache__/**
- *.pyc
- .pytest_cache/**
- node_modules/**
- .conflict-*
- Thumbs.db
- desktop.ini
```
**Advantages Over Custom Daemon:**
- ✅ **Zero maintenance**: No custom sync logic to debug/maintain
- ✅ **Production proven**: Used by thousands in production
- ✅ **Safety features**: Built-in max-delete, conflict handling, recovery
- ✅ **Filtering**: Advanced exclude patterns and rules
- ✅ **Performance**: Optimized for various storage backends
- ✅ **Community support**: Extensive documentation and community
## Phase 4.2: NFS Mount Support (Direct Access)
### Solution: rclone nfsmount
Keep the existing NFS mount functionality for users who prefer direct file access:
**Core Architecture:**
```bash
# rclone nfsmount provides transparent file access
rclone nfsmount basic-memory-{tenant_id}:{bucket_name} ~/basic-memory-{tenant_id} \
--vfs-cache-mode writes \
--dir-cache-time 10s \
--daemon
```
**Key Benefits:**
- ✅ **Real-time access**: Files appear immediately as they're created/modified
- ✅ **Transparent**: Works with any application that reads/writes files
- ✅ **Low latency**: Direct access without sync delays
- ✅ **Simple**: No periodic sync commands needed
- ✅ **Homebrew compatible**: Works with Homebrew rclone (no FUSE required)
**Limitations:**
- ❌ **File watcher compatibility**: Some apps (Obsidian) don't detect changes over NFS
- ❌ **Network dependency**: Requires active connection to cloud storage
- ❌ **Potential conflicts**: Simultaneous edits from multiple locations can cause issues
### Mount Profiles (Existing)
**Already implemented profiles from SPEC-7 testing:**
```python
MOUNT_PROFILES = {
"fast": {
"cache_time": "5s",
"poll_interval": "3s",
"description": "Ultra-fast development (5s sync)"
},
"balanced": {
"cache_time": "10s",
"poll_interval": "5s",
"description": "Fast development (10-15s sync, recommended)"
},
"safe": {
"cache_time": "15s",
"poll_interval": "10s",
"description": "Conflict-aware mount with backup",
"extra_args": ["--conflict-suffix", ".conflict-{DateTimeExt}"]
}
}
```
### CLI Commands (Existing)
**Mount commands already implemented:**
```bash
basic-memory cloud mount # Mount with balanced profile
basic-memory cloud mount --profile fast # Ultra-fast caching
basic-memory cloud mount --profile safe # Conflict detection
basic-memory cloud unmount # Clean unmount
basic-memory cloud mount-status # Show mount status
```
## User Choice: Mount vs Bisync
### When to Use Each Approach
| Use Case | Recommended Solution | Why |
|----------|---------------------|-----|
| **Obsidian users** | `bisync` | File watcher support for live preview |
| **CLI/vim/emacs users** | `mount` | Direct file access, lower latency |
| **Offline work** | `bisync` | Can work offline, sync when connected |
| **Real-time collaboration** | `mount` | Immediate visibility of changes |
| **Multiple machines** | `bisync` | Better conflict handling |
| **Single machine** | `mount` | Simpler, more transparent |
| **Development work** | Either | Both work well, user preference |
| **Large files** | `mount` | Streaming access vs full download |
### Installation Simplicity
**Both approaches now use simple Homebrew installation:**
```bash
# Single installation command for both approaches
brew install rclone
# No macFUSE, no system modifications needed
# Works immediately with both mount and bisync
```

```
### local mount api
Endpoint 1: Get Tenant Info for user
Purpose: Get tenant details for mounting
- pass in jwt
- service returns mount info
**✅ IMPLEMENTED API Specification:**
**Endpoint 1: GET /tenant/mount/info**
- Purpose: Get tenant mount information without exposing credentials
- Authentication: JWT token (tenant_id extracted from claims)
Request:
```
GET /tenant/mount/info
Authorization: Bearer {jwt_token}
```
Response:
```json
{
"tenant_id": "434252dd-d83b-4b20-bf70-8a950ff875c4",
"bucket_name": "basic-memory-434252dd",
"has_credentials": true,
"credentials_created_at": "2025-09-22T16:48:50.414694"
}
```
**Endpoint 2: POST /tenant/mount/credentials**
- Purpose: Generate NEW bucket-scoped S3 credentials for rclone mounting
- Authentication: JWT token (tenant_id extracted from claims)
- Multi-session: Creates new credentials without revoking existing ones
Request:
```
POST /tenant/mount/credentials
Authorization: Bearer {jwt_token}
Content-Type: application/json
```
*Note: No request body needed - tenant_id extracted from JWT*
Response:
```json
{
"tenant_id": "434252dd-d83b-4b20-bf70-8a950ff875c4",
"bucket_name": "basic-memory-434252dd",
"access_key": "test_access_key_12345",
"secret_key": "test_secret_key_abcdef",
"endpoint_url": "https://fly.storage.tigris.dev",
"region": "auto"
}
```
**🔒 Security Notes:**
- Secret key returned ONCE only - never stored in database
- Credentials are bucket-scoped (cannot access other tenants' buckets)
- Multiple active credentials supported per tenant (work laptop + personal machine)
Implementation Notes
Security:
- Both endpoints require JWT authentication
- Extract tenant_id from JWT claims (not request body)
- Generate scoped credentials (not admin credentials)
- Credentials should have bucket-specific access only
Integration Points:
- Use your existing StorageClient from SPEC-8 implementation
- Leverage existing JWT middleware for tenant extraction
- Return same credential format as your Tigris bucket provisioning
Error Handling:
- 401 if not authenticated
- 403 if tenant doesn't exist
- 500 if credential generation fails
**🔄 Design Decisions:**
1. **Secure Credential Flow (No Secret Storage)**
Based on CLI flow analysis, we follow security best practices:
- ✅ API generates both access_key + secret_key via Tigris IAM
- ✅ Returns both in API response for immediate use
- ✅ CLI uses credentials immediately to configure rclone
- ✅ Database stores only metadata (access_key + policy_arn for cleanup)
- ✅ rclone handles secure local credential storage
- ❌ **Never store secret_key in database (even encrypted)**
2. **CLI Credential Flow**
```bash
# CLI calls API
POST /tenant/mount/credentials → {access_key, secret_key, ...}
# CLI immediately configures rclone
rclone config create basic-memory-{tenant_id} s3 \
access_key_id={access_key} \
secret_access_key={secret_key} \
endpoint=https://fly.storage.tigris.dev
# Database tracks metadata only
INSERT INTO tenant_mount_credentials (tenant_id, access_key, policy_arn, ...)
```
3. **Multiple Sessions Supported**
- Users can have multiple active credential sets (work laptop, personal machine, etc.)
- Each credential generation creates a new Tigris access key
- List active credentials via API (shows access_key but never secret)
4. **Failure Handling & Cleanup**
- **Happy Path**: Credentials created → Used immediately → rclone configured
- **Orphaned Credentials**: Background job revokes unused credentials
- **API Failure Recovery**: Retry Tigris deletion with stored policy_arn
- **Status Tracking**: Track tigris_deletion_status (pending/completed/failed)
5. **Event Sourcing & Audit**
- MountCredentialCreatedEvent
- MountCredentialRevokedEvent
- MountCredentialOrphanedEvent (for cleanup)
- Full audit trail for security compliance
6. **Tenant/Bucket Validation**
- Verify tenant exists and has valid bucket before credential generation
- Use existing StorageClient to validate bucket access
- Prevent credential generation for inactive/invalid tenants
📋 **Implemented API Endpoints:**
```
✅ IMPLEMENTED:
GET /tenant/mount/info # Get tenant/bucket info (no credentials exposed)
POST /tenant/mount/credentials # Generate new credentials (returns secret once)
GET /tenant/mount/credentials # List active credentials (no secrets)
DELETE /tenant/mount/credentials/{cred_id} # Revoke specific credentials
```
**API Implementation Status:**
- ✅ **GET /tenant/mount/info**: Returns tenant_id, bucket_name, has_credentials, credentials_created_at
- ✅ **POST /tenant/mount/credentials**: Creates new bucket-scoped access keys, returns access_key + secret_key once
- ✅ **GET /tenant/mount/credentials**: Lists active credentials without exposing secret keys
- ✅ **DELETE /tenant/mount/credentials/{cred_id}**: Revokes specific credentials with proper Tigris IAM cleanup
- ✅ **Multi-session support**: Multiple active credentials per tenant (work laptop + personal machine)
- ✅ **Security**: Secret keys never stored in database, returned once only for immediate use
- ✅ **Comprehensive test suite**: 28 tests covering all scenarios including error handling and multi-session flows
- ✅ **Dependency injection**: Clean integration with existing FastAPI architecture
- ✅ **Production-ready configuration**: Tigris credentials properly configured for tenant machines
🗄️ **Secure Database Schema:**
```sql
CREATE TABLE tenant_mount_credentials (
id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
tenant_id UUID REFERENCES tenant(id),
access_key VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
-- secret_key REMOVED - never store secrets (security best practice)
policy_arn VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, -- For Tigris IAM cleanup
tigris_deletion_status VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'pending', -- Track cleanup
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW(),
updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW(),
revoked_at TIMESTAMP NULL,
last_used_at TIMESTAMP NULL, -- Track usage for orphan cleanup
description VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT 'CLI mount credentials'
);
```
**Security Benefits:**
- ✅ Database breach cannot expose secrets
- ✅ Follows "secrets don't persist" security principle
- ✅ Meets compliance requirements (SOC2, etc.)
- ✅ Reduced attack surface
- ✅ CLI gets credentials once and stores securely via rclone

# SPEC-9: Signed Header Tenant Information
## Why
WorkOS JWT templates don't work with MCP's dynamic client registration requirement, preventing us from getting tenant information directly in JWT tokens. We need an alternative secure method to pass tenant context from the Cloud Proxy Service to tenant instances.
**Problem Context:**
- MCP spec requires dynamic client registration
- WorkOS JWT templates only apply to statically configured clients
- Without tenant information, we can't properly route requests or isolate tenant data
- Current JWT tokens only contain standard OIDC claims (sub, email, etc.)
**Affected Areas:**
- Cloud Proxy Service (`apps/cloud`) - request forwarding
- Tenant API instances (`apps/api`) - tenant context validation
- MCP Gateway (`apps/mcp`) - authentication flow
- Overall tenant isolation security model
## What
Implement HMAC-signed headers that the Cloud Proxy Service adds when forwarding requests to tenant instances. This provides secure, tamper-proof tenant information without relying on JWT custom claims.
**Components:**
- Header signing utility in Cloud Proxy Service
- Header validation middleware in Tenant API instances
- Shared secret configuration across services
- Fallback mechanisms for development and error cases
## How (High Level)
### 1. Header Format
Add these signed headers to all proxied requests:
```
X-BM-Tenant-ID: {tenant_id}
X-BM-Timestamp: {unix_timestamp}
X-BM-Signature: {hmac_sha256_signature}
```
### 2. Signature Algorithm
```python
# Canonical message format
message = f"{tenant_id}:{timestamp}"
# HMAC-SHA256 signature
signature = hmac.new(
key=shared_secret.encode('utf-8'),
msg=message.encode('utf-8'),
digestmod=hashlib.sha256
).hexdigest()
```
### 3. Implementation Flow
#### Cloud Proxy Service (`apps/cloud`)
1. Extract `tenant_id` from authenticated user profile
2. Generate timestamp and canonical message
3. Sign message with shared secret
4. Add headers to request before forwarding to tenant instance
#### Tenant API Instances (`apps/api`)
1. Middleware validates headers on all incoming requests
2. Extract tenant_id, timestamp from headers
3. Verify timestamp is within acceptable window (5 minutes)
4. Recompute signature and compare in constant time
5. If valid, make tenant context available to Basic Memory tools
### 4. Security Properties
- **Authenticity**: Only services with shared secret can create valid signatures
- **Integrity**: Header tampering invalidates signature
- **Replay Protection**: Timestamp prevents reuse of old signatures
- **Non-repudiation**: Each request is cryptographically tied to specific tenant
### 5. Configuration
```bash
# Shared across Cloud Proxy and Tenant instances
BM_TENANT_HEADER_SECRET=randomly-generated-256-bit-secret
# Tenant API configuration
BM_TENANT_HEADER_VALIDATION=true # true (production) | false (dev only)
```
## How to Evaluate
### Unit Tests
- [ ] Header signing utility generates correct signatures
- [ ] Header validation correctly accepts/rejects signatures
- [ ] Timestamp validation within acceptable windows
- [ ] Constant-time signature comparison prevents timing attacks
### Integration Tests
- [ ] End-to-end request flow from MCP client → proxy → tenant
- [ ] Tenant isolation verified with signed headers
- [ ] Error handling for missing/invalid headers
- [ ] Disabled validation in development environment
### Security Validation
- [ ] Shared secret rotation procedure
- [ ] Header tampering detection
- [ ] Clock skew tolerance testing
- [ ] Performance impact measurement
### Production Readiness
- [ ] Logging and monitoring of header validation
- [ ] Graceful degradation for header validation failures
- [ ] Documentation for secret management
- [ ] Deployment configuration templates
## Implementation Notes
### Shared Secret Management
- Generate cryptographically secure 256-bit secret
- Same secret deployed to Cloud Proxy and all Tenant instances
- Consider secret rotation strategy for production
### Error Handling
```python
# Strict mode (production)
if not validate_headers(request):
raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail="Invalid tenant headers")
# Fallback mode (development)
if not validate_headers(request):
logger.warning("Invalid headers, falling back to default tenant")
tenant_id = "default"
```
### Performance Considerations
- HMAC-SHA256 computation is fast (~microseconds)
- Headers add ~200 bytes to each request
- Validation happens once per request in middleware
## Benefits
**Works with MCP dynamic client registration** - No dependency on JWT custom claims
**Simple and reliable** - Standard HMAC signature approach
**Secure by design** - Cryptographic authenticity and integrity
**Infrastructure controlled** - No external service dependencies
**Easy to implement** - Clear signature algorithm and validation
## Trade-offs
⚠️ **Shared secret management** - Need secure distribution and rotation
⚠️ **Clock synchronization** - Timestamp validation requires reasonably synced clocks
⚠️ **Header visibility** - Headers visible in logs (tenant_id not sensitive)
⚠️ **Additional complexity** - More moving parts in proxy forwarding
## Implementation Tasks
### Cloud Service (Header Signing)
- [ ] Create `utils/header_signing.py` with HMAC-SHA256 signing function
- [ ] Add `bm_tenant_header_secret` to Cloud service configuration

# SPEC-9-1 Follow-Ups: Conflict, Sync, and Observability
**REVISED 2025-10-03:** Simplified to leverage rclone built-ins instead of custom conflict handling.
**Context:** SPEC-9 delivered multi-project bidirectional sync and a unified CLI. This follow-up focuses on **observability and safety** using rclone's built-in capabilities rather than reinventing conflict handling.
**Design Philosophy: "Be Dumb Like Git"**
- Let rclone bisync handle conflict detection (it already does this)
- Make conflicts visible and recoverable, don't prevent them
- Cloud is always the winner on conflict (cloud-primary model)
- Users who want version history can just use Git locally in their sync directory
**What Changed from Original Version:**
- **Replaced:** Custom `.bmmeta` sidecars → Use rclone's `.bisync/` state tracking
- **Replaced:** Custom conflict detection → Use rclone bisync 3-way merge
- **Replaced:** Tombstone files → rclone delete tracking handles this
- **Replaced:** Distributed lease → Local process lock only (document multi-device warning)
- **Replaced:** S3 versioning service → Users just use Git locally if they want history
- **Deferred:** SPEC-14 Git integration → Postponed to teams/multi-user features
## ✅ Now
- [ ] **Local process lock**: Prevent concurrent bisync runs on same device (`~/.basic-memory/sync.lock`)
- [ ] **Structured sync reports**: Parse rclone bisync output into JSON reports (creates/updates/deletes/conflicts, bytes, duration); `bm sync --report`
- [ ] **Multi-device warning**: Document that users should not run `--watch` on multiple devices simultaneously
- [ ] **Version control guidance**: Document pattern for users to use Git locally in their sync directory if they want version history
- [ ] **Docs polish**: cloud-mode toggle, mount↔bisync directory isolation, conflict semantics, quick start, migration guide, short demo clip/GIF
## 🔜 Next
- [ ] **Observability commands**: `bm conflicts list`, `bm sync history` to view sync reports and conflicts
- [ ] **Conflict resolution UI**: `bm conflicts resolve <file>` to interactively pick winner from conflict files
- [ ] **Selective sync**: allow include/exclude by project; per-project profile (safe/balanced/fast)
## 🧭 Later
- [ ] **Near real-time sync**: File watcher → targeted `rclone copy` for individual files (keep bisync as backstop)
- [ ] **Sharing / scoped tokens**: cross-tenant/project access
- [ ] **Bandwidth controls & backpressure**: policy for large repos
- [ ] **Client-side encryption (optional)**: with clear trade-offs
## 📏 Acceptance criteria (for "Now" items)
- [ ] Local process lock prevents concurrent bisync runs on same device
- [ ] rclone bisync conflict files visible and documented (`file.conflict1.md`, `file.conflict2.md`)
- [ ] `bm sync --report` generates parsable JSON with sync statistics
- [ ] Documentation clearly warns about multi-device `--watch` mode
- [ ] Documentation shows users how to use Git locally for version history
## What We're NOT Building (Deferred to rclone)
- ❌ Custom `.bmmeta` sidecars (rclone tracks state in `.bisync/` workdir)
- ❌ Custom conflict detection (rclone bisync already does 3-way merge detection)
- ❌ Tombstone files (S3 versioning + rclone delete tracking handles this)
- ❌ Distributed lease (low probability issue, rclone detects state divergence)
- ❌ Rename/move tracking (rclone has size+modtime heuristics built-in)
## Implementation Summary
**Current State (SPEC-9):**
- ✅ rclone bisync with 3 profiles (safe/balanced/fast)
-`--max-delete` safety limits (10/25/50 files)
-`--conflict-resolve=newer` for auto-resolution
- ✅ Watch mode: `bm sync --watch` (60s intervals)
- ✅ Integrity checking: `bm cloud check`
- ✅ Mount vs bisync directory isolation
**What's Needed (This Spec):**
1. **Process lock** - Simple file-based lock in `~/.basic-memory/sync.lock`
2. **Sync reports** - Parse rclone output, save to `~/.basic-memory/sync-history/`
3. **Documentation** - Multi-device warnings, conflict resolution workflow, Git usage pattern
**User Model:**
- Cloud is always the winner on conflict (cloud-primary)
- rclone creates `.conflict` files for divergent edits
- Users who want version history just use Git in their local sync directory
- Users warned: don't run `--watch` on multiple devices
## Decision Rationale & Trade-offs
### Why Trust rclone Instead of Custom Conflict Handling?
**rclone bisync already provides:**
- 3-way merge detection (compares local, remote, and last-known state)
- File state tracking in `.bisync/` workdir (hashes, modtimes)
- Automatic conflict file creation: `file.conflict1.md`, `file.conflict2.md`
- Rename detection via size+modtime heuristics
- Delete tracking (prevents resurrection of deleted files)
- Battle-tested with extensive edge case handling
**What we'd have to build with custom approach:**
- Per-file metadata tracking (`.bmmeta` sidecars)
- 3-way diff algorithm
- Conflict detection logic
- Tombstone files for deletes
- Rename/move detection
- Testing for all edge cases
**Decision:** Use what rclone already does well. Don't reinvent the wheel.
### Why Let Users Use Git Locally Instead of Building Versioning?
**The simplest solution: Just use Git**
Users who want version history can literally just use Git in their sync directory:
```bash
cd ~/basic-memory-cloud-sync/
git init
git add .
git commit -m "backup"
# Push to their own GitHub if they want
git remote add origin git@github.com:user/my-knowledge.git
git push
```
**Why this is perfect:**
- ✅ We build nothing
- ✅ Users who want Git... just use Git
- ✅ Users who don't care... don't need to
- ✅ rclone bisync already handles sync conflicts
- ✅ Users own their data, they can version it however they want (Git, Time Machine, etc.)
**What we'd have to build for S3 versioning:**
- API to enable versioning on Tigris buckets
- **Problem**: Tigris doesn't support S3 bucket versioning
- Restore commands: `bm cloud restore --version-id`
- Version listing: `bm cloud versions <path>`
- Lifecycle policies for version retention
- Documentation and user education
**What we'd have to build for SPEC-14 Git integration:**
- Committer service (daemon watching `/app/data/`)
- Puller service (webhook handler for GitHub pushes)
- Git LFS for large files
- Loop prevention between Git ↔ bisync ↔ local
- Merge conflict handling at TWO layers (rclone + Git)
- Webhook infrastructure and monitoring
**Decision:** Don't build version control. Document the pattern. "The easiest problem to solve is the one you avoid."
**When to revisit:** Teams/multi-user features where server-side version control becomes necessary for collaboration.
### Why No Distributed Lease?
**Low probability issue:**
- Requires user to manually run `bm sync` on multiple devices at exact same time
- Most users run `--watch` on one primary device
- rclone bisync detects state divergence and fails safely
**Safety nets in place:**
- Local process lock prevents concurrent runs on same device
- rclone bisync aborts if bucket state changed during sync
- S3 versioning recovers from any overwrites
- Documentation warns against multi-device `--watch`
**Failure mode:**
```bash
# Device A and B sync simultaneously
Device A: bm sync → succeeds
Device B: bm sync → "Error: path has changed, run --resync"
# User fixes with resync
Device B: bm sync --resync → establishes new baseline
```
**Decision:** Document the issue, add local lock, defer distributed coordination until users report actual problems.
### Cloud-Primary Conflict Model
**User mental model:**
- Cloud is the source of truth (like Dropbox/iCloud)
- Local is working copy
- On conflict: cloud wins, local edits → `.conflict` file
- User manually picks winner
**Why this works:**
- Simpler than bidirectional merge (no automatic resolution risk)
- Matches user expectations from Dropbox
- S3 versioning provides safety net for overwrites
- Clear recovery path: restore from S3 version if needed
**Example workflow:**
```bash
# Edit file on Device A and Device B while offline
# Both devices come online and sync
Device A: bm sync
# → Pushes to cloud first, becomes canonical version
Device B: bm sync
# → Detects conflict
# → Cloud version: work/notes.md
# → Local version: work/notes.md.conflict1
# → User manually merges or picks winner
# Restore if needed
bm cloud restore work/notes.md --version-id abc123
```
## Implementation Details
### 1. Local Process Lock
```python
# ~/.basic-memory/sync.lock
import os
import psutil
from pathlib import Path
class SyncLock:
def __init__(self):
self.lock_file = Path.home() / '.basic-memory' / 'sync.lock'
def acquire(self):
if self.lock_file.exists():
pid = int(self.lock_file.read_text())
if psutil.pid_exists(pid):
raise BisyncError(
f"Sync already running (PID {pid}). "
f"Wait for completion or kill stale process."
)
# Stale lock, remove it
self.lock_file.unlink()
self.lock_file.write_text(str(os.getpid()))
def release(self):
if self.lock_file.exists():
self.lock_file.unlink()
def __enter__(self):
self.acquire()
return self
def __exit__(self, *args):
self.release()
# Usage
with SyncLock():
run_rclone_bisync()
```
### 3. Sync Report Parsing
```python
# Parse rclone bisync output
import json
from datetime import datetime
from pathlib import Path
def parse_sync_report(rclone_output: str, duration: float, exit_code: int) -> dict:
"""Parse rclone bisync output into structured report."""
# rclone bisync outputs lines like:
# "Synching Path1 /local/path with Path2 remote:bucket"
# "- Path1 File was copied to Path2"
# "Bisync successful"
report = {
"timestamp": datetime.now().isoformat(),
"duration_seconds": duration,
"exit_code": exit_code,
"success": exit_code == 0,
"files_created": 0,
"files_updated": 0,
"files_deleted": 0,
"conflicts": [],
"errors": []
}
for line in rclone_output.split('\n'):
if 'was copied to' in line:
report['files_created'] += 1
elif 'was updated in' in line:
report['files_updated'] += 1
elif 'was deleted from' in line:
report['files_deleted'] += 1
elif '.conflict' in line:
report['conflicts'].append(line.strip())
elif 'ERROR' in line:
report['errors'].append(line.strip())
return report
def save_sync_report(report: dict):
"""Save sync report to history."""
history_dir = Path.home() / '.basic-memory' / 'sync-history'
history_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
timestamp = datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d-%H%M%S')
report_file = history_dir / f'{timestamp}.json'
report_file.write_text(json.dumps(report, indent=2))
# Usage in run_bisync()
start_time = time.time()
result = subprocess.run(bisync_cmd, capture_output=True, text=True)
duration = time.time() - start_time
report = parse_sync_report(result.stdout, duration, result.returncode)
save_sync_report(report)
if report['conflicts']:
console.print(f"[yellow]⚠ {len(report['conflicts'])} conflict(s) detected[/yellow]")
console.print("[dim]Run 'bm conflicts list' to view[/dim]")
```
### 4. User Commands
```bash
# View sync history
bm sync history
# → Lists recent syncs from ~/.basic-memory/sync-history/*.json
# → Shows: timestamp, duration, files changed, conflicts, errors
# View current conflicts
bm conflicts list
# → Scans sync directory for *.conflict* files
# → Shows: file path, conflict versions, timestamps
# Restore from S3 version
bm cloud restore work/notes.md --version-id abc123
# → Uses aws s3api get-object with version-id
# → Downloads to original path
bm cloud restore work/notes.md --timestamp "2025-10-03 14:30"
# → Lists versions, finds closest to timestamp
# → Downloads that version
# List file versions
bm cloud versions work/notes.md
# → Uses aws s3api list-object-versions
# → Shows: version-id, timestamp, size, author
# Interactive conflict resolution
bm conflicts resolve work/notes.md
# → Shows both versions side-by-side
# → Prompts: Keep local, keep cloud, merge manually, restore from S3 version
# → Cleans up .conflict files after resolution
```
## Success Metrics & Monitoring
**Phase 1 (v1) - Basic Safety:**
- [ ] Conflict detection rate < 5% of syncs (measure in telemetry)
- [ ] User can resolve conflicts within 5 minutes (UX testing)
- [ ] Documentation prevents 90% of multi-device issues
**Phase 2 (v2) - Observability:**
- [ ] 80% of users check `bm sync history` when troubleshooting
- [ ] Average time to restore from S3 version < 2 minutes
-
- [ ] Conflict resolution success rate > 95%
**What to measure:**
```python
# Telemetry in sync reports
{
"conflict_rate": conflicts / total_syncs,
"multi_device_collisions": count_state_divergence_errors,
"version_restores": count_restore_operations,
"avg_sync_duration": sum(durations) / count,
"max_delete_trips": count_max_delete_aborts
}
```
**When to add distributed lease:**
- Multi-device collision rate > 5% of syncs
- User complaints about state divergence errors
- Evidence that local lock isn't sufficient
**When to revisit Git (SPEC-14):**
- Teams feature launches (multi-user collaboration)
- Users request commit messages / audit trail
- PR-based review workflow becomes valuable
