Root cause

MemoryStore.load_queries(pairs, upsert=True) upserts every pair in the batch by
nl_query, but never removes a row whose nl_query is no longer in the batch. The
three call sites that treat knowledge/sql/*.md as the complete source of truth for
query_history (cli.py's index and watch commands, and index_backend.py's
LanceDBIndex.rebuild) all pass the current markdown pairs straight through this
upsert-only call, so a deleted or renamed example is never forgotten and keeps
surfacing in semantic recall. check() already computes exactly this drift (stale = indexed_user - md_nls) and tells the user to fix it by running index, but index
does not actually clear it.

Fix

Add MemoryStore.sync_markdown_queries(pairs): upserts as before, then lists the
current rows and forgets any whose source is not seed/view and whose nl_query is
absent from pairs, mirroring check()'s own "stale" definition on the write path
instead of only the read-only report. The three call sites above now use it.

Verification

  • New regression tests in tests/unit/test_memory.py (TestMarkdownSourcedIndex):
    deleting a markdown example and re-syncing forgets the row and it no longer recalls;
    seed/view rows survive a sync even though they have no markdown file; deleting every
    markdown example forgets every markdown-sourced row; wren memory index and wren memory watch --reindex-on-start both forget a deleted pair end to end through the
    CLI. Each fails on unmodified main and passes on this branch (Docker, Python 3.11,
    WREN_EMBEDDING_MODEL=paraphrase-MiniLM-L3-v2).
  • pytest tests/unit/test_memory.py: 102 passed.
  • pytest tests/unit/ --ignore=tests/unit/test_memory.py --ignore=tests/unit/test_mcp_server.py:
    1236 passed, 3 pre-existing failures in test_served_content_guard.py unrelated to
    this change (confirmed identical on unmodified main).
  • ruff format --check src/ and ruff check src/: clean.
  • Not run: the postgres/mysql/ui CI legs (unaffected by this diff) and the
    mcp extra's tests.

Fixes #2702

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Markdown-based memory indexes now remove stale queries when source files are deleted.
    • Empty Markdown sources correctly clear previously indexed queries.
    • Seed queries remain preserved during synchronization, including when they overlap with Markdown content.
    • Indexing and watch reindexing now consistently reflect additions, updates, and deletions in Markdown sources.
    • Synchronization results now report how many queries were loaded, updated, and forgotten, including stale-query removals.

…index

load_queries(pairs, upsert=True) only upserts nl_query values present in the
current batch, so a row whose markdown example was deleted or renamed stays
in query_history forever and keeps being recalled, even though `wren memory
check` tells the user that re-running `wren memory index` fixes it.

Add MemoryStore.sync_markdown_queries(pairs), which upserts and then forgets
any non-seed/non-view row whose nl_query is absent from the current markdown
set, using the same "stale" definition check() already reports. Use it at
the three call sites that treat knowledge/sql/*.md as the complete source of
truth: cli.py's index and watch commands, and index_backend.py's
LanceDBIndex.rebuild.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Markdown memory indexing now synchronizes the complete Markdown query set. It removes stale user pairs while preserving seed and view pairs. CLI indexing and watch reindexing report forgotten pairs. Tests cover storage, recall, and both indexing paths.

Changes

Markdown Memory Synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Synchronize Markdown query pairs
core/wren/src/wren/memory/store.py
Adds source tagging and sync_markdown_queries, which upserts current pairs and forgets stale non-seed, non-view pairs.
Use synchronization during indexing
core/wren/src/wren/memory/cli.py, core/wren/src/wren/memory/index_backend.py
Indexing and watch reindexing always synchronize Markdown pairs and report forgotten counts.
Validate stale-pair cleanup
core/wren/tests/unit/test_memory.py
Tests cover deleted queries, empty Markdown input, seed preservation, recall results, CLI indexing, and watch reindexing.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f075e

The change correctly removes deleted Markdown queries, but rows from Markdown files labeled as protected sources may still persist after deletion, and interrupted or overlapping reindex operations can temporarily leave semantic recall incomplete or inconsistent. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up for these bounded synchronization risks.

A rabbit synced the Markdown trail
Old user pairs left the data vale
Seed and view pairs stayed in place
Fresh queries joined the index space

Comment thread core/wren/src/wren/memory/store.py
sync_markdown_queries called load_queries(pairs, upsert=True), whose
upsert path deletes every existing row sharing a pair's nl_query
regardless of its source tag. A markdown pair whose nl happened to
match an existing seed or view row's nl_query silently deleted that
protected row and replaced it with a markdown-sourced one, defeating
the seed/view exclusion the rest of the method already applies to its
own forgotten-row computation two lines below.

Filter markdown pairs against existing seed/view nl_query values
before the upsert call, so a colliding pair is skipped instead of
clobbering the protected row.

Good catch, thanks. sync_markdown_queries called load_queries(pairs, upsert=True), whose delete step keyed only on nl_query, not source, so a markdown pair could clobber a seed or view row with the same nl. Fixed in f075ee7: markdown pairs are now filtered against existing seed/view nl_query values before the upsert, with a regression test that reproduces the collision and fails without the fix.

651-666: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not exempt Markdown rows based only on their frontmatter source.

load_query_pairs accepts the Markdown source value and load_queries persists it as source:<value>. If a Markdown file uses source:seed or source:view, Line 665 excludes its row from stale deletion after that file is removed. Track Markdown provenance separately, or normalize/reject protected source values during Markdown synchronization.
