📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds a documentation contract for persona and memory provenance. It defines authoritative runtime state, provenance fields, lifecycle transitions, project isolation, safety rules, mutation flows, and verification coverage. ChangesPersona and memory provenance
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This documentation-only change has no immediate production impact, but the proposed contract is incomplete for safely guiding future persona and memory implementations: deletion and correction history, concurrency, restricted-data redaction, approval binding, field mapping, and fail-closed project isolation remain underspecified. Merge should wait for these requirements to be clarified or explicitly accepted by the responsible owners. Suggested reviewers: Poem

In `@docs/specs/2026-08-19-persona-memory-provenance-contract.md`:
- Around line 43-54: Complete the memory lifecycle contract by defining whether
“superseded” is a state or relation and specifying correction-event identity,
actor, timestamp, predecessor, and successor. Add explicit user-deletion
semantics covering retention, access, default retrieval, and evidence-history
behavior, while distinguishing deletion from retirement and preserving auditable
contradiction history as required.
- Around line 95-97: Update the authoritative recall facade and citation
generation so runtime responses omit or redact restricted MemoryEntry records
and evidence references before serialization, rather than returning
entry.content unchanged. Apply the existing runtime policy and add
serialized-response tests covering restricted records and citations.
- Line 99: Require server-side authorization for all memory mutations, including
correction and retirement RPCs: authenticate the user and bind recorded approval
to the actor, record ID, operation, and revision. Update
MemoryGuard::admit_write and the mutation handlers to reject agent-originated
corrections or retirements until matching approval is persisted; never trust UI
state or client-supplied approval flags.
- Around line 101-103: Extend Section 9’s verification plan with focused
negative security tests at the runtime boundary: verify restricted payloads are
redacted, evidence references are authorization-checked, logs and analytics are
scrubbed, and user approval is distinguished from agent approval. Assert that
sensitive values never cross RPC or logging boundaries.
- Around line 27-37: Update the memory contract around MemoryEntry.id to define
it as an immutable record identifier, and add a revision token or etag to memory
records and mutation requests. Define correction and retirement RPCs to address
records by immutable ID, require the current revision, reject stale revisions
before writing, and return the updated revision on success.
- Around line 27-39: Define canonical adapter mappings for all memory fields,
including source, confidence, state, projectContext, timestamps, and
evidenceRefs. Preserve runtime values losslessly, explicitly represent missing
fields as Unknown or Derived without inventing or persisting authoritative
values, and map unsupported Chunk and ProfileFacet values without silently
classifying them.

| The dashboard should render each memory record with the following semantic fields, whether they are returned directly by the current backend or introduced through an adapter at the UI boundary: | ||
|
|
||
| | Field | Meaning | User-facing treatment | | ||
| | --- | --- | --- | | ||
| | `statement` | The retained fact, preference, goal, or observation. | Primary readable content. | | ||
| | `source` | How the record entered the system. | Always visible in a compact provenance label. | | ||
| | `confidence` | A bounded estimate of record reliability. | Display as qualitative bands, not false precision. | | ||
| | `state` | Lifecycle or epistemic status. | Distinguish active, provisional, needs-confirmation, and retired. | | ||
| | `projectContext` | The work or personal context to which the record belongs. | Show the active context and prevent silent cross-context retrieval. | | ||
| | `createdAt` / `lastConfirmedAt` | Record age and most recent confirmation. | Use for freshness and review prompts. | | ||
| | `evidenceRefs` | References to the interaction, import, or approved output that supports the record. | Link or disclose when available; never expose secrets. | |

Define immutable record identity and optimistic concurrency. The runtime exposes MemoryEntry.id, but the contract does not define its stability. Current memory mutations use namespace and key without a revision or etag. Define correction and retirement RPCs with an immutable record ID and revision token, and reject stale revisions before writing.

| Memory lifecycle and epistemic status should be explicit. The minimum supported transitions are: | ||

| A user correction must create an auditable replacement or correction event rather than silently mutating the displayed text. Retiring a record must remove it from default active retrieval while preserving its history for contradiction review and debugging. A newer explicit user statement outranks an older inference, but the older inference should remain traceable as superseded rather than disappearing without explanation. |

Complete the lifecycle and deletion contract.
Line 54 uses superseded, but the state list and transitions do not define it. The linked objective also requires deletion, while this contract defines only retirement, which preserves history. Define whether superseded is a state or a relation. Define correction event identity, actor, timestamp, predecessor, and successor. Define user deletion, retention, access, and evidence-history behavior. Otherwise consumers cannot implement consistent filters or honor delete requests.
This follows the linked issue requirements for contradiction handling, archiving, and deletion.

Sensitive Data Exposure (CWE-200): Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Enforce restricted-record policy before serialization.
The authoritative recall facade returns MemoryEntry values unchanged, and citation generation copies entry.content into MemoryCitation. Require the runtime response to omit or redact restricted records and evidence references before serialization. Add serialized-response tests.

| ## 9. Verification plan | ||

| The implementation should add focused tests at the smallest affected layers. Runtime tests should verify that project scope is applied to the query and that correction or retirement failures do not produce a false success. UI tests should verify provenance labels, state transitions, context filtering, and the error state after a rejected mutation. A manual smoke path should create a provisional record, confirm it, correct it, switch project context, and verify that unrelated records do not appear by default. |

Summary
Problem
Issue #4253 proposes a guided persona builder and memory dashboard for non-technical users. Without a shared contract, a UI implementation could create a browser-only source of truth, hide provenance, conflate inferred memories with explicit user statements, or filter project context only visually instead of at the runtime query boundary.
Solution
Add
docs/specs/2026-08-19-persona-memory-provenance-contract.md. The specification defines the semantic fields and transitions required for a trustworthy first slice, maps persona sections to structured profile concepts, requires explicit project-context handling, preserves user approval for mutations, and proposes focused validation for provenance labels, correction, retirement, and cross-project exclusion. It intentionally avoids prescribing a complete dashboard or storage migration.Submission Checklist
Closes #4253in the Related section.Impact
No runtime behavior changes. This document provides an implementation contract for future UI and runtime work and is intended to reduce ambiguity around provenance, correction, project isolation, and privacy.
