Reproduction (production, 2026-05-14): two concurrent sessions on the
same agent. Session A patches MEMORY.md directly via the patch tool,
appending ~8KB of structured content (Vendor Master, Standing Orders,
Pin Board) — none of it through the memory tool, so no § delimiters.
Session B starts later with stale in-memory state (1 entry, ~331
chars). Session B calls memory(action=replace) on its one known
entry. The tool's _read_file parses A's content as a single 8KB
'entry' (no § splits), then replace truncates that entry to B's new
333-byte content. ~8KB of structured content silently destroyed.
The atomic-rename write path is fine in isolation. The bug is the
implicit contract: the tool assumes MEMORY.md is exclusively a
§-delimited list of small entries it wrote, but the v0.13 install
runbook itself uses 'cat >> MEMORY.md' for onboarding, the patch tool
edits the file directly, and operators do too.
Fix: a drift guard in MemoryStore._detect_external_drift that fires
on either signal:
1. Re-parse + re-serialize doesn't produce identical bytes
(catches oddly-encoded delimiters / partial writes).
2. Any single parsed entry exceeds the store's whole-file char
limit. The tool budgets the ENTIRE store against that limit
(2200 chars for memory, 1375 for user), so no tool-written
entry can legitimately be larger. An entry bigger than the
store limit means an external writer dropped free-form content
into what the tool will treat as one entry.
When drift fires, _reload_target writes a .bak.<ts> snapshot of the
on-disk file, then add/replace/remove refuse to flush. The original
file stays untouched. The error dict surfaces the .bak path AND a
remediation string ('integrate missing entries via memory(add=...)
one at a time, then rewrite the file clean') so the model can act on
it without escalating to the operator.
Tests:
- test_replace_refuses_on_drift, test_add_refuses_on_drift,
test_remove_refuses_on_drift — all three mutators refuse
- test_clean_file_does_not_trigger_drift — false-positive check
- test_error_message_points_at_remediation — error string shape
- test_drift_guard_also_protects_user_target — USER.md too
- test_drift_backup_filename_is_unique_per_invocation — bak.<ts>
naming pin
144 memory tests passing (was 137; +7).
