feat: add consolidation accounting for workspace memory promotion
P0 implementation with four waves: Wave 1: Dedup with accounting - Add dedupeLongTermEntriesWithAccounting() - Classify exact duplicate, identity duplicate, topic duplicate Wave 2: Normalization with accounting - Add normalizeWorkspaceMemoryWithAccounting() - Chain redaction → migration → enforceLongTermLimitsWithAccounting Wave 3: Promotion accounting integration - Update accountPendingPromotions() to use new accounting API - Add supersededKeys to classification - Distinguish promoted / absorbed / superseded / rejected Wave 4: Integration tests - End-to-end tests covering full pipeline Bug fixes: - Fix active vs superseded boundary (superseded entries no longer block promotion) - Remove unused rejected_duplicate_lower_quality type - Defer pending journal safety cap (TODO added) Tests: 135 passing (up from 115)

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [1.3.0] - 2026-04-27
+
+### Added
+
+- P0 consolidation accounting for workspace memory promotion.
+- Accounting-aware deduplication (`dedupeLongTermEntriesWithAccounting`).
+- Accounting-aware normalization (`normalizeWorkspaceMemoryWithAccounting`).
+- Promotion classification: promoted, absorbed, superseded, rejected.
+- Remove absorbed/superseded keys from rejected set to avoid duplicate rejection tracking.
+- Memory quality evaluation fixtures covering accepted durable facts and rejected noisy facts.
+- Sharper compaction memory extraction prompt with concrete good/bad memory examples.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Promotion accounting now clears only pending memories that survive workspace normalization/cap limits.
+- `session.deleted` now uses shared session ID extraction, matching `session.compacted` behavior.
+- Absorbed duplicate pending memories are accounted for instead of retrying forever.
+- Active vs superseded boundary when promoting pending memories (superseded entries no longer block promotion of same-key active memories).
+- Removed unused `rejected_duplicate_lower_quality` type.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Deferred pending journal safety cap implementation (see TODO in `src/pending-journal.ts`).
+- Clarified superseded accounting semantics: P0 emits events only, does not archive newly superseded records.
+- README structure was streamlined around the automatic memory flow and ongoing memory-quality work.
+- Architecture docs now describe `Memory candidates:` as the primary extraction format and XML candidate blocks as legacy.
+- Superpowers implementation plans are no longer tracked in git.
+
+## [1.2.3] - 2026-04-26
+
+### Added
+
+- Frozen workspace memory snapshot in `system[1]` for better OpenCode prompt-cache stability.
+- Ephemeral hot session state and pending memories in later system messages.
+- Durable pending journal so explicit memories survive until promotion.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Explicit memories no longer mutate the frozen workspace snapshot mid-session.
+- Pending memories are promoted at safe cache-epoch boundaries.
+
+## [1.2.0] - 2026-04-25
+
+### Added
+
+- Memory V2 three-layer architecture.
+- Workspace memory for durable cross-session decisions, preferences, project facts, and references.
+- Hot session state for active files, open errors, and recent context.
+- Hook-based memory extraction during OpenCode compaction.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Removed manual memory tools in favor of automatic prompt injection.
+- Moved storage to `~/.local/share/opencode-working-memory/`.
+
+## [1.1.0] - 2026-04-24
+
+### Changed
+
+- Improved pre-V2 memory documentation and installation flow.
+
+## [1.0.0] - 2026-04-23
+
+### Added
+
+- Initial release with three-layer memory architecture.
+- Initial OpenCode memory integration.
+- Basic memory extraction and prompt injection.

-**Automatic memory system that keeps your AI agent context-aware across compactions.**
+Automatic memory for OpenCode agents.

-Stop losing context when OpenCode compacts your conversation. This plugin automatically tracks what matters — decisions, active files, open errors — and preserves it across sessions.
+OpenCode Working Memory helps your agent keep useful context across compactions and sessions: project decisions, preferences, important references, active files, and unresolved errors.

-## What You Get
+It works automatically, without manual memory tools or extra LLM/API calls.

-**Three-layer memory, zero extra API calls:**
+## Why This Exists

-| Layer | Scope | What It Tracks | Persists? |
-|-------|-------|----------------|-----------|
-| **Workspace Memory** | Cross-session | Decisions, project info, references | ✅ Yes |
-| **Hot Session State** | Per-session | Active files, open errors | ❌ Resets |
-| **Native OpenCode** | Per-session | Todos | ✅ Built-in |
+OpenCode compaction keeps conversations manageable, but important context can still get lost over time.

-**Key benefits:**
- 🧠 **Remembers across sessions** — Workspace memory survives restarts
- 🔌 **No extra API calls** — Piggybacks on existing compaction
- 📡 **Zero configuration** — Works out of the box
- 🔧 **Zero tools** — No manual memory management needed
+It adds a workspace-aware memory layer so your agent can remember durable facts while keeping short-term session state fresh and lightweight.
+
+Use it when you want your agent to remember things like:
+
+- Project conventions
+- User preferences
+- Architecture decisions
+- Important file paths or references
+- Current active files and unresolved errors
+
+## Features
+
+- **Workspace memory** — durable project facts, preferences, decisions, and references across sessions.
+- **Hot session state** — active files, open errors, and current working context for the current session.
+- **Explicit memory triggers** — users can say “remember this”, “記住”, “覚えて”, or “기억해” to save durable facts.
+- **Compaction-based extraction** — memory extraction piggybacks on OpenCode’s existing compaction flow.
+- **No manual tools** — memory is injected automatically into the system prompt.
+- **Quality guards** — filters noisy memories, temporary progress snapshots, stack traces, raw errors, and credentials.

+**Cache-friendly layout:** durable workspace memory is rendered as a stable frozen snapshot for the session, while fast-changing hot session state is appended separately. Compaction starts a new cache epoch, refreshing the workspace snapshot after pending memories are promoted.
+
+The runtime context has three layers:
+
+| Layer | Purpose | Lifetime |
+|---|---|---|
+| Workspace Memory | Durable decisions, preferences, project facts, references | Cross-session |
+| Hot Session State | Active files, open errors, recent context | Current session |
+| Native OpenCode State | Todos and built-in state | OpenCode-managed |
+
+## Workspace Memory
+
+Workspace memory is for durable information that should help future sessions.
+
+Examples:
+
+```md
+- [decision] Use npm cache for plugin loading, not npm link.
+- [project] This repo uses TypeScript and Node.js test runner.
+- [feedback] User prefers concise implementation summaries.
+- [reference] Storage lives under ~/.local/share/opencode-working-memory/.
 ```

-### Workspace Memory (Long-term)
+Memory types:

-Persists across sessions within the same workspace. Automatically extracted during compaction when the agent marks something with "remember" or "note":
+- `feedback` — user preferences or recurring feedback
+- `project` — stable project-level facts
+- `decision` — important implementation or architecture decisions
+- `reference` — useful paths, commands, or configuration references

-```
-<workspace_memory>
- [decision] Use npm cache for plugin loading, not npm link
- [project] This repo uses opencode-agenthub plugin system
- [reference] Storage: ~/.local/share/opencode-working-memory/...
-</workspace_memory>
+## Explicit Memory Triggers
+
+You can explicitly ask the agent to remember durable facts.
+
+Examples:
+
+```md
+Remember this: we prefer Vitest for new frontend tests.
+記住：這個 repo 發 release 前要先跑 npm test。
+覚えておいて: API clients should use the shared retry helper.
+기억해줘: this project uses pnpm, not npm.
 ```

-**Memory types:**
- `feedback` - User preferences for this workspace
- `project` - Project-level information
- `decision` - Important decisions made
- `reference` - Key references (paths, patterns)
+Supported trigger languages include:

-**Sources:**
- `explicit` - User explicitly said "remember this" (confidence: 1.0)
- `compaction` - Extracted during compaction (confidence: 0.75)
- `manual` - Added programmatically (confidence: varies)
+| Language | Examples |
+|---|---|
+| English | `remember this`, `save to memory`, `from now on`, `my preference` |
+| Chinese | `記住`, `记住`, `記得`, `请帮我记住` |
+| Japanese | `覚えて`, `覚えておいて`, `メモして` |
+| Korean | `기억해`, `기억해줘`, `메모해줘` |

-### Hot Session State (Short-term)
+Negative requests are respected too:

-Automatically tracks current session context:
-
- **Active Files**: What files you're working on (ranked by recency and action type)
- **Open Errors**: Errors that haven't been fixed yet (typecheck, test failures, etc.)
- **Recent Decisions**: Decisions made this session (candidates for long-term promotion)
-
-Injected into system prompt:
-```
-<workspace_memory>
- [decision] Use npm cache for plugin loading, not npm link
- [project] This repo uses opencode-agenthub plugin system
- [reference] Storage: ~/.local/share/opencode-working-memory/workspaces/{hash}/
-</workspace_memory>
-
-<hot_session_state>
-active_files:
- src/plugin.ts (edit, 18x)
- tests/plugin.test.ts (edit, 5x)
- src/extractors.ts (grep, 3x)
-open_errors:
- [typecheck] TS2345: Argument of type 'string' is not assignable...
-</hot_session_state>
+```md
+Don't remember this.
+不要記住這個。
+覚えないで。
+기억하지 마.
 ```

-## Quality Guarantees
+Avoid saving:

-The plugin includes several quality guards:
+- Secrets, passwords, tokens, or credentials
+- Temporary progress updates
+- Raw command output
+- Short-lived session details

- **No false positive errors**: Bash commands like `git log` or `cat` with "error" in output are not misidentified
- **Negative memory filtering**: "Don't remember this" is correctly interpreted
- **Compaction quality gate**: Rejects git hashes, stack traces, path-heavy facts from becoming long-term memories
- **Canonical deduplication**: Memories are deduplicated with case/punctuation normalization
+## Quality Guards

-## No Tools Required
+OpenCode Working Memory tries to keep memory useful and low-noise.

-Unlike other memory plugins, **this plugin has no manual tools**. Everything is automatic:
+It includes guards for:

- No `core_memory_update` — memory is extracted automatically
- No `core_memory_read` — memory is injected into system prompt
- No `working_memory_add` — active files are tracked automatically
+- Credential redaction
+- Duplicate memory cleanup
+- Superseding older decisions with newer ones
+- Consolidation accounting so promoted, absorbed, superseded, and rejected memories are handled differently
+- Filtering stack traces, git hashes, raw errors, and noisy path-heavy facts
+- Rejecting temporary project progress snapshots

-Just install and let it run. The plugin hooks into OpenCode's lifecycle events and does the right thing.
+The goal is to remember durable facts, not every detail.

 ## Configuration

-The plugin works out of the box with sensible defaults:
+OpenCode Working Memory works out of the box.

- **Workspace Memory**: 5200 chars, 28 entries max
- **Hot State**: 1200 chars rendered, 8 active files, 3 errors shown
- **Storage**: `~/.local/share/opencode-working-memory/workspaces/{hash}/`
+Default behavior:

-See [Configuration Guide](docs/configuration.md) for customization options.
+- Workspace memory budget: 5200 characters
+- Workspace memory limit: 28 entries
+- Hot session state budget: 1200 characters
+- Active files shown: 8
+- Open errors shown: 3

-## For AI Agents
+See [Configuration](docs/configuration.md) for customization options.

-When using this plugin, the memory context appears in your system prompt. You can:
+## Ongoing Work

-1. **Tell users about memories**: "I remember you decided to use npm cache for plugins"
-2. **Ask about preferences**: "Should I add this to my memory for this workspace?"
-3. **Note important decisions**: These will be extracted during compaction
+Current focus:

-To add something to long-term memory explicitly:
-```
-Remember this: [your note here]
-```
-
-The plugin captures this during compaction.
+- Improve memory recording quality so only durable, useful facts are kept.
+- Strengthen deduplication and supersession so stale memories do not pile up.
+- Add better forgetting behavior for obsolete decisions, preferences, and project facts.

 # Release Notes

+## 1.3.0 (2026-04-27)
+
+### Better Memory Consolidation
+
+This release makes OpenCode Working Memory smarter about what happens to saved memories after compaction. Instead of treating every pending memory as simply "kept" or "not kept", it now understands four outcomes:
+
+- **Promoted** — a new memory was saved to workspace memory.
+- **Absorbed** — the memory was a duplicate of something already remembered.
+- **Superseded** — a newer same-topic decision or preference replaced an older one.
+- **Rejected** — the memory was stale, noisy, or over the workspace memory limit.
+
+### What This Improves
+
+- **Fewer repeated pending memories**: duplicate or superseded memories no longer keep coming back for promotion.
+- **Cleaner long-term memory**: old same-topic decisions are replaced more predictably.
+- **Safer promotion accounting**: pending memories are only cleared when the final normalized workspace memory confirms what happened to them.
+- **More useful compaction output**: the compaction prompt now includes clearer examples of what should and should not become durable memory.
+
+### Also Included
+
+- Memory quality regression fixtures: 5 examples that should be kept and 7 noisy examples that should be rejected.
+- Fix for `session.deleted` session ID extraction so cleanup and promotion use the same event parsing path.
+- Fix for active-vs-superseded promotion behavior: archived superseded entries no longer block a fresh active memory.
+- README and architecture documentation updates.
+
+### Upgrade Notes
+
+- No user migration is required.
+- Existing workspace memory files remain compatible.
+- The OpenCode config entry stays the same:
+
+```json
+{
+  "plugin": ["opencode-working-memory"]
+}
+```
+
+### Tests
+
+- **135 tests pass**.
+
+---
+
+## 1.2.3 (2026-04-27)
+
+### Prompt Cache Optimization — Frozen Snapshot + Ephemeral Delta
+
+This release optimizes OpenCode Working Memory's impact on OpenCode's prompt cache, following Hermes-style architecture patterns.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Frozen workspace snapshot**: Workspace memory is now rendered once at session start and cached as immutable `system[1]`. No mid-session re-render that could invalidate the cache.
+- **Ephemeral hot state**: Hot session state (active files, errors) is rendered in `system[2+]`, which is excluded from the first-two-system cache control.
+- **Durable pending journal**: Explicit memories are written to both session state and a durable workspace-level pending journal, ensuring no data loss between compactions.
+- **Safe promotion**: Explicit memories are promoted from pending to workspace memory at:
+  - Next session start (before frozen snapshot)
+  - `session.compacted`
+  - `session.deleted` (before cleanup)
+
+### Architecture
+
+```
+system[0]  → OpenCode / agent header (stable cached)
+system[1] → Frozen workspace memory snapshot (stable cached)
+system[2+] → Hot session state + pending memories (dynamic, not cached)
+```
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Hot state invalidating cache**: Active files / errors updating every tool call previously caused the entire workspace memory block to be re-hashed, killing cache efficiency.
+- **Explicit memory loss**: Without compaction, explicit memories could be lost when sessions ended without promotion.
+- **Mid-session mutation**: Explicit memories no longer mutate the running frozen snapshot; they appear as pending and are promoted safely.
+
+### Migration
+

+
+### Safer Multilingual Memory Capture
+
+This release strengthens explicit memory handling across languages while keeping sensitive credentials out of stored workspace memory.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Always-on credential redaction**: Credentials are redacted both when memory is loaded and when it is saved
+- **Multilingual memory triggers**: Added Japanese and Korean explicit-memory phrases, plus expanded Chinese coverage
+- **Expanded snapshot filtering**: Rejects Wave/Sprint/Milestone/Task progress snapshots that should not become durable memory
+- **Higher memory quality bar**: Extraction now focuses on durable facts that will change future behavior
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Credential leakage risk**: Password/PIN-style values are now redacted with delimiter-preserving patterns, including multilingual labels such as `パスワード`, `비밀번호`, `contraseña`, `mot de passe`, and `Passwort`.
+- **Missing non-English explicit memory requests**: Japanese (`覚えて`, `メモして`), Korean (`기억해`, `메모해줘`), and additional Chinese triggers are now recognized.
+- **Progress snapshots polluting memory**: Wave/Sprint/Milestone/Task status updates are filtered from long-term memory unless they contain durable facts.
+
+### Migration
+
+- Runs one-time cleanup for legacy snapshot entries: `2026-04-26-p0-cleanup`

+
+### Compaction Memory Quality — Four-Layer Defense
+
+This release addresses systemic quality issues in workspace memory: duplicates, stale entries, and silently lost memory candidates. A four-layer defense is now in place:
+
+```
+Prompt    → Durable-content guidance keeps LLM on factual memories
+Parser    → Accepts bracketless format, filters session snapshots
+Storage   → Entity-key dedup + topic supersession + source priority
+Staleness → Age-based pruning of obsolete compaction/manual entries
+```
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Self-cleaning memory**: Entity-key deduplication, topic supersession, and age-based staleness pruning automatically maintain memory quality
+- **Robust parser**: Accepts both bracketless (`- type text`) and bracketed (`- [type] text`) formats — no more silently lost memories
+- **Durable-content prompt**: Compaction template now guides LLM toward factual, long-lived memories while explicitly discouraging session ephemera
+- **Smart snapshot filtering**: Automatically rejects project-type snapshots (file counts, test counts, Phase progress) that don't belong in long-term memory
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Bracketless format bug**: Parser regex only matched `- [type]` pattern; real LLM output often uses `- type` (no brackets). Both formats now accepted. (P0a)
+- **Purple/italic text in OpenCode UI**: Replaced XML/HTML comment templates with clean Markdown headings. Further hardened with negative instructions to forbid YAML frontmatter. (P0b β)
+- **Session snapshots polluting memory**: Project entries like "37 個文件", "26 tests pass", "Phase 2 completed" now rejected by parser filter. (P0c)
+- **Duplicate entries**: Entities deduped by key (e.g., `opencode-agenthub plugin system`). Topic conflicts resolved via supersession: newer shorter facts beat older verbose ones for decisions/feedback. (P0d)
+- **Stale entries never cleaned**: Compaction/manual entries with `staleAfterDays` now auto-pruned after 30-day grace period.
+- **Short reference entries rejected**: Admin PIN (`456123`) and config values (`Scrypt n=32768`) now allowed through config value allowlist despite being under 20 chars.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`chooseBetterMemory`**: Now accepts `"entity"` mode (length preferred, for project/reference) and `"supersession"` mode (freshness preferred, for decision/feedback).
+- **Source priority in sort**: Manual/source priority now included as secondary sort tie-breaker after entry priority.
+
+### Technical Details
+
+- **Parser formats**: 4 accepted (plain text label primary, plus Markdown section, legacy section, legacy XML)
+- **Chinese counter words**: Regex matches `個`/`个` between numbers and nouns (e.g., `37 個文件`)
+- **Entity keys cautious**: Only known product keys extracted (`opencode-agenthub`); generic config references fall back to canonical text dedup
+
+### Tests
+
+- **70/70 tests pass** (24 workspace-memory, 34 extractors, 12 plugin)

-### Deduplication
+### Consolidation and Deduplication

-Memories are deduplicated using **canonical text matching**:
-1. Normalize: lowercase, strip punctuation, collapse whitespace
-2. Hash the canonical text
-3. Keep the entry with highest confidence
+Memories are deduplicated and consolidated with accounting:
+
+1. Normalize exact text: lowercase, strip punctuation, collapse whitespace.
+2. Group project/reference entries by identity where possible.
+3. Group decisions and feedback by topic where possible.
+4. Keep the best surviving entry by source, confidence, type, and freshness rules.
+5. Emit accounting events so pending memories can be classified as promoted, absorbed, superseded, or rejected.
+
+This prevents absorbed or superseded pending memories from retrying forever while still preserving the active surviving memory.

 * Memory V2 Plugin for OpenCode

 * Architecture:
- * - Layer 1: Stable Workspace Memory (frozen per session, refreshed at compaction)
- * - Layer 2: Hot Session State (active files, open errors, recent decisions)
+ * - Layer 1: Stable Workspace Memory (frozen per session cache epoch, refreshed at compaction)
+ * - Layer 2: Hot Session State (active files, open errors, recent decisions, pending memories)
 * - Layer 3: Native OpenCode State (todos owned by OpenCode, read during compaction)
 *
+ * Cache Epoch Model:
+ * - Each session creates a frozen workspace memory snapshot on first transform.
+ * - Normal turns reuse the exact rendered string (system[1] remains stable).
+ * - Compaction starts a new cache epoch: pending memories are promoted, the cache is cleared,
+ *   and the next transform re-renders workspace memory.
+ * - Explicit memory ("remember X") goes to SessionState.pendingMemories + durable journal,
+ *   visible in ephemeral system[2+] for the current epoch, promoted to system[1] after compaction.
+ *
 * This plugin:
 * - Caches frozen workspace memory per sessionID
 * - Processes explicit memory from latest user text once per message id

Ralph Chang	fd8d730e3b	docs: streamline README and document ongoing work	2026-04-27 12:38:11 +08:00
Ralph Chang	4309cb855f	fix: promotion accounting, sessionID extraction, and strengthened regression tests Architecture review fixes: - Promotion accounting: only clear pending memories that survived workspace memory normalization/cap limits. Use retainedKeys from the returned normalized store instead of attemptedKeys. - Shared sessionID extraction: add sessionIDFromEventProperties() helper and use it in both session.compacted and session.deleted, fixing the previous gap where session.deleted only read info.id. - Strengthen compaction refresh test: seed workspace memory before first transform so firstSystem1 is non-empty, then assert refreshed system[1] preserves existing entries AND contains promoted memories.	2026-04-27 10:02:18 +08:00
Ralph Chang	2437a9dc71	fix: clarify cache epoch semantics and add regression tests - Update plugin.ts comments to describe 'session cache epoch' instead of misleading 'session lifetime' wording - Add regression test: same-session explicit memory does not mutate frozen system[1]; pending memory goes to ephemeral system[2+] - Add regression test: session.compacted intentionally refreshes system[1] as a new cache epoch boundary (promotes pending memories, clears frozen cache, next transform re-renders workspace memory) - Both tests use one plugin instance with mutable mock client to preserve in-memory frozen cache across turns	2026-04-27 09:55:03 +08:00

Ralph Chang	6603fe869d	docs: add v1.2.1 release notes	2026-04-26 16:58:14 +08:00
Ralph Chang	3d44269228	fix: resolve remaining architect issues - split feedback keys, remove generic config key, supersession mode - Split feedbackTopicKey: server-error now separate from port-occupied-environment - Remove generic plugin.*config entity key (too broad), fall back to canonical dedup - Feedback topic conflicts now use supersession mode (newer beats longer) - Add 3 regression tests: English port/split, unrelated configs, feedback supersession 70/70 tests pass.	2026-04-26 16:54:24 +08:00
Ralph Chang	a154139b27	fix: P0c/P0d architect review corrections P0c fixes: - Chinese file count regex now accepts 個/个 between number and 文件 - Admin PIN short reference (<20 chars) passes via config value allowlist - Phase snapshot uses semantic window (.{0,20}) instead of absolute position P0d fixes: - Feedback key split: 500 error and port issue remain separate entries - extractEntityKey avoids over-merging unrelated plugin configs - chooseBetterMemory supports supersession mode (newer beats longer) - Sort comparator now includes source priority as secondary tie-breaker New regression tests (11 total): - Real Admin PIN short reference passes - Real Chinese 37 個文件 snapshot rejected - Real pathology Phase 1-4 snapshot rejected - Feedback 500 vs port entries not collapsed - Unrelated plugin configs not collapsed - Supersession prefers newer shorter over older longer 67/67 tests pass.	2026-04-26 16:50:58 +08:00
Ralph Chang	7527765207	feat: storage-time dedupe, stale pruning, and supersession (P0d) - Project/reference entries dedupe by entity key (bilingual aware) - Decision entries supersede by topic key (parser formats, template, etc) - Feedback entries supersede by topic key (same issue, newer fix wins) - Stale compaction/manual entries pruned after staleAfterDays + 30 - Explicit and feedback entries never age-pruned - Freshness used as tie-breaker in priority-based trimming - Adds 10 new tests covering dedup, supersession, staleness, and freshness	2026-04-26 16:37:18 +08:00
Ralph Chang	f9acfd6136	fix: parser accepts bracketless format, rejects project snapshots, adds durable-content prompt P0a: Parser now accepts both - [type] text and - type text formats P0b: Prompt adds durable-content guidance to avoid session-specific snapshots P0c: Parser quality gate rejects exact test counts, file counts, phase progress - Only rejects phase progress when it appears early in the string (snapshot) - Stable config values with numbers (Admin PIN, Scrypt) still pass - Adds 7 new tests covering bracketless parsing and snapshot rejection	2026-04-26 16:28:55 +08:00
Ralph Chang	ca71c20a8f	docs: add memory dedup & staleness architecture analysis	2026-04-26 16:20:29 +08:00
Ralph Chang	5e9ada6859	fix: replace default compaction template to prevent purple italic rendering Root cause: OpenCode's default compaction template uses --- separators. When our plugin adds structured context (Memory candidates: format), the model strictly follows the template, outputting --- at position 0. The markdown textmate grammar treats this as YAML frontmatter, applying the 'comment' syntax scope (purple + italic in themes like palenight). Fix: Set output.prompt in the compacting hook to replace the entire template with a ---free version. Uses only ## Markdown headings and explicitly forbids YAML frontmatter, horizontal rules, and delimiter lines. Preserves context from other plugins by merging output.context. - Replace compactionContextHeader() with buildCompactionPrompt() - Set output.prompt instead of pushing to output.context - Merge existing output.context from other plugins before clearing - Add 'Instructions' section to the template (per architect review) - Update tests: verify output.prompt, ---free format, context merging	2026-04-26 15:46:41 +08:00
Ralph Chang	721544e7a8	fix: use plain text labels instead of Markdown headers - Changed '## Memory Candidates' to 'Memory candidates:' in compaction context - Changed '## Pending Todos' to 'Pending todos:' in todo rendering - Updated extractCandidateBlock() to parse plain text format (primary) - Removed stripXmlTags() function (no longer needed) - All 42 tests pass Root cause: Markdown headings (##) render as purple in OpenCode UI, same issue as XML tags and HTML comments. Plain text labels avoid all special markup rendering.	2026-04-26 15:13:58 +08:00
Ralph Chang	32fa2bd454	chore: keep version at 1.2.1	2026-04-26 14:50:19 +08:00
Ralph Chang	af539a42f3	chore: bump version to 1.2.2 for HTML comment output format	2026-04-26 14:49:46 +08:00
Ralph Chang	eff0d3784c	fix: change compaction output to HTML comment, prevent Markdown rendering issues Root cause: Model was instructed to output <workspace_memory_candidates> XML tags in the user-visible compaction summary, causing purple/italic rendering when combined with --- delimiters in Markdown. Fixes: - compactionContextHeader(): Now instructs model to use HTML comment format <!-- workspace_memory_candidates ... --> which is hidden from users - extractCandidateBlock(): New function supports 3 formats: 1. HTML comment (preferred, hidden from user) 2. Markdown section (visible but clean) 3. Legacy XML (backward compatible) - Added "DO NOT use XML tags" and "DO NOT start with ---" instructions Tests: - Verify compaction context header uses HTML comment format - Test parser accepts all 3 formats (HTML comment, Markdown, legacy XML)	2026-04-26 14:49:38 +08:00
Ralph Chang	2354b62350	chore: bump version to 1.2.1 for compaction context fix	2026-04-26 14:35:18 +08:00
Ralph Chang	92e90124de	fix: prevent XML tags in compaction context from causing Markdown rendering issues - Add stripXmlTags() to convert <workspace_memory>, <hot_session_state>, <pending_todos> to Markdown headers for compaction context - Add [PRIVATE COMPACTION CONTEXT - DO NOT OUTPUT] wrapper to prevent model from copying input context to output - Rename renderTodos to renderTodosForCompaction for clarity - Add test to verify compaction context contains no XML tags This fixes the issue where compaction summary would render with purple italic text due to --- delimiters interacting with XML-like tags in Markdown.	2026-04-26 14:34:55 +08:00
