Per qodo-ai review on PR #1167: sanitize_iso_date() previously accepted
YYYY and YYYY-MM, but KnowledgeGraph.query_entity() compares valid_from/
valid_to TEXT columns lexicographically against as_of. Lexicographic
comparison treats '2026-01-01' as greater than '2026' (because '-' >
end-of-string), so partial as_of values silently excluded valid facts —
re-introducing the silent-empty-results problem this PR was meant to
fix.
Tighten _ISO_DATE_RE to require YYYY-MM-DD only. Update docstring and
error message accordingly. Invert the two test cases that asserted
partials were accepted.
tool_kg_query (as_of), tool_kg_add (valid_from), and tool_kg_invalidate
(ended) accepted any string and forwarded it to SQLite without format
validation. Parameterized queries prevent SQL injection, but invalid
date strings silently produce empty result sets — callers cannot
distinguish "no fact at this time" from "your date format was
unrecognized." This is especially painful for natural-language LLM
callers that synthesize dates like "March 2026" or "Jan 2025".
Add sanitize_iso_date() in config.py alongside the other input
validators. It accepts YYYY, YYYY-MM, and YYYY-MM-DD forms; passes
through None/empty; and raises ValueError with a field-named message
on anything else. Call it from the three kg MCP tool wrappers before
values reach the storage layer so the caller gets a clear error
instead of a silent miss.
Closes#1164
#1097 fixed mempalace_search to treat empty-string wing/room as
no filter, matching how LLM agents default to filling every optional
parameter with ''. The same pattern wasn't applied to diary_read:
passing wing='' defaulted to wing_<agent_name>, siloing away entries
that hooks had written to project-derived wings per #659.
When wing is empty/omitted, filter only on agent + room=diary so
callers get a unified view of the agent's journal across every wing
it has written to. Explicit wing=<name> continues to scope reads
to that wing only.
Adds test covering empty-wing read after writing to both the default
and a non-default wing.
Four more MCP handlers iterate a metadata list and call m.get(...)
unconditionally. When the cache contains a None entry (drawers with no
metadata, common on older mining paths), the try block catches the
AttributeError and marks the response "partial: true" with an
error message — visible as {"error": "'NoneType' object has no
attribute 'get'", "partial": true} returned from mempalace_status even
though the palace data is otherwise fetchable.
Same m = m or {} guard we applied to searcher.py (d3a2d22, a51c3c2)
and miner.status() (66f08a1). None-metadata drawers now roll up under
the existing "unknown" fallback bucket instead of poisoning the
response with a misleading partial flag.
Regression test: mock the metadata cache with a None in the middle,
assert tool_status returns clean counts and no error/partial fields.
Verified the test fails without the guard.
998 tests pass.
tool_status() called _get_collection() with the default create=False,
which throws when the ChromaDB collection does not exist yet (valid
palace, zero drawers). The exception was swallowed and status returned
"No palace found" even though init had completed successfully.
Switching to create=True bootstraps an empty collection on first
status call, matching what the write path already does.
Fix suggested by @hkevinchu in the issue.
ChromaDB defaults HNSW index to L2 (Euclidean) distance, but
MemPalace scoring uses 1-distance which requires cosine (range 0-2).
Add metadata={"hnsw:space": "cosine"} to the 4 production and 3 test
call sites that were missing it.
Closes#218
When external tools write to the palace database (CLI mining, scripts), the MCP server's cached ChromaDB collection becomes stale — its HNSW index doesn't know about new vectors. Develop already invalidates on inode changes (catches rebuilds) but not on mtime changes (misses in-place writes).
This PR:
- Adds st_mtime tracking alongside st_ino in _get_client; invalidates the cached client on either change.
- Adds the mempalace_reconnect MCP tool for explicit cache flush.
Original author: @jphein (#663). Original approval: @Ari4ka.
Skips test_missing_db_invalidates_cache on Windows (ChromaDB holds chroma.sqlite3 open).
The initialize handler hardcoded protocolVersion "2024-11-05", which
causes newer MCP clients (e.g. Claude Code) to reject the connection
when they negotiate "2025-11-25" or later.
Echo the client's requested version if it is in the supported set,
otherwise fall back to the latest supported version. This keeps
backwards compatibility with older clients while allowing newer ones
to connect.
