Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Added the Context Architecture v2 ADR, documenting context lifecycle, memory handling, projection, observability, and migration guidance.
    • Added a changelog entry announcing the new architecture proposal.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for current context composition, memory injection, stable-prefix generation, context-frame handling, and incognito behavior.

ADR 0107 defines the v2 context contract: derived context projected at
request time (never checkpointed), memory attributes modeled as orthogonal
dimensions (kind, provenance, trust, scope, delivery policy, review state,
lifecycle), and surface parity across native/ACP/subagent runtimes.

Includes characterization tests pinning current context behavior as a
regression baseline for v2 migration (20 tests covering context_frame,
KnowledgeMiddleware.before_agent, stable prefix, and compose_context).

Closes #3192

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2aeb8

This PR establishes the v2 context contract and regression baseline, but inconsistent field naming could lead to incompatible implementations, while two documented ambiguities could produce incorrect context suppression or replay behavior. The PR should not merge until these contract details are clarified.

Fault 2 listed "preferences" and "context" as domain values but neither
exists in the codebase. Replace with the actual production values:
"conversation", "fact", and freeform (SDK callers, snapshot imports).

The D4 backfill mapping now covers all six known domains plus an explicit
ELSE-NULL default for unmapped freeform values, so the migration cannot
fail on unknown domain strings.

…ration to D5

- D4 backfill table now uses the canonical #3072 taxonomy: profile,
  standing, fact, decision, note, episode, reference, legacy
- Backfill discriminates domain="general" by source_type (conversation →
  note, other → reference) instead of blanket "fact"
- D5 adds trajectory integration paragraph: snapshots store references

The incognito scoping rule (ADR 0069 D3b) is a delivery policy override:
incognito threads suppress all memory sections (1-5) but retain working state
and skills index (capability, not memory).

Limit incognito suppression to memory-derived sections.

The priority list includes working state at Line 214 and skills at Line 216. The phrase “all memory sections (1-5)” includes both, but the next clause retains them. This can cause an implementation to suppress required working state or capability awareness.

State that incognito suppresses only always-on memories, prior-session digest, and RAG-retrieved memories.

Use memory_kind consistently in the write contract.

The schema defines memory_kind at Line 148. D7 and the plugin compatibility contract use kind instead. This creates incompatible contracts for writers and knowledge_store.add_chunk() implementations.

Replace kind with memory_kind in both sections.

- **Context growth is bounded.** Projected context occupies a fixed budget
per request, regardless of session length. A 20-turn session no longer
accumulates 20 context frames in the checkpoint.
- **Replay is deterministic.** Replaying a checkpoint produces the same
operator messages + fresh projected context, not stale stored context.

Do not describe fresh projection as deterministic replay.

D2 requires a fresh request-time projection. Memory, retrieval results, and working state can change after a checkpoint. A replay can avoid stale checkpointed frames, but it cannot reproduce the original model-visible request without historical projection inputs.

Describe this as fresh-context replay, or define replay through the D5 prompt snapshot and trajectory references.

QA panel review — PASS

code-review-structural · head 2aeb85ca638d · formal

Purely additive PR (+708/−0) touching a changelog fragment, an ADR design doc, and characterization tests. No production code is modified, so overall risk is minimal. All five finders returned zero findings and the structural verification pass confirmed the empty array — nothing was refuted, downgraded, or added. The panel did not disagree on any point. No prior requests to disposition. Coverage note: the ADR design doc is the largest single file in the diff and received zero findings, which is expected for a design document but means its technical claims were not independently validated.

No findings — the review came back clean.

Low overall risk: three minor findings, no blockers or majors. The one thing to fix first is the vacuous pass in test_incognito_suppresses_memory — the if result and "messages" in result: guard means the test can pass without asserting anything about incognito behavior, so the PR's test coverage is weaker than it appears. The panel did not disagree on any finding; the verifier confirmed all three as-is with no re-grades. No coverage gaps: the structural pass completed and all three angles (cross-file, tests, conventions) are represented.

QA panel review — PASS

code-review-structural · head c05dc62c8d1f · formal

All three prior-round minor findings (vacuous test guard, ADR migration table omission, stale ADR index) are resolved in the current head; no new defects surfaced. The panel is in full agreement — no disagreements to surface. Verification was a no-op: the structural pass received an empty findings array from the prior synthesizer round, so it confirmed the clean state without independently re-examining the diff. The one gap worth noting is that the structural verifier's "PASS" is only as strong as the synthesizer's prior empty output; if any of the three resolved items were resolved by deletion rather than fix, the structural pass would not have caught a regression. No blocker or major items remain open.

No findings — the review came back clean.

All findings are minor; no blockers or majors. The highest-priority fix is the subject axis listed in the 0108 index entry — it's a factual error in a spec document that could mislead implementers, and it's a one-word correction. The vacuous incognito test (carried from round 2) remains unaddressed and is the most load-bearing item since it's executable code. Two prior-round findings (the D4 migration table omission for domain="conversation"/domain="fact", and the missing ADR 0107 entry in the numbered index) were not re-examined by this round's panel or verifier; they are carried forward as open. No panel disagreement; the verifier confirmed both of its findings without modification.

- Remove vacuous early-return in incognito test so it always asserts

QA panel review — WARN

All prior findings are minor; the verifier produced no output, so nothing was refuted or re-graded. The change carries low risk — the open items are documentation gaps in the ADR migration table and index, plus one vacuous test guard. Fix the D4 migration table omission first (it misclassifies "fact" domain rows and will mislead implementers). The structural verification pass was skipped (no output), so cross-file consistency of the ADR index against the D4 axis list is unconfirmed this round.
