Summary

  • parse and forward expandIds through the standalone MCP proxy
  • fall back to KV.memories when expanding long-term mem_* IDs
  • add regression coverage for both paths

Fixes #889

Related work

PR #837 already forwards expandIds through the standalone proxy. This PR includes the same shim-side flow because #889 also requires the separate engine fix: compact smart-search results expose long-term mem_* IDs, while expansion previously searched only session observations. The KV.memories fallback and its regression test are the additional end-to-end behavior covered here.

Testing

  • npm test -- --run test/mcp-standalone-proxy.test.ts test/smart-search.test.ts
  • 2 test files passed
  • 31 tests passed
  • git diff --check passed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for expanding saved memory IDs in smart search results.
    • Smart search can now run using memory IDs without requiring a text query.
    • Multiple IDs can be provided, with normalized input and support for up to 20 IDs.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved observation retrieval when session-based lookup is unavailable by falling back to saved memories.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for ID expansion, query-free searches, and proxy request handling.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The standalone MCP smart-search path now accepts, forwards, and locally resolves expandIds. Smart search also falls back to KV.memories when session-based observation lookup fails. Tests cover proxy forwarding, validation, and memory expansion.

Changes

Smart-search expansion flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate and forward expandIds
src/mcp/standalone.ts, test/mcp-standalone-proxy.test.ts, test/mcp-standalone.test.ts
The validator accepts a query or up to 20 normalized expandIds values. The proxy forwards non-empty arrays. Tests cover CSV conversion, query omission, default limits, and validation errors.
Resolve memory IDs in local smart search
src/mcp/standalone.ts, test/mcp-standalone.test.ts
The local expansion path loads each ID from KV.memories, skips missing records, and returns converted observations. Tests verify expansion without a query.
Fallback to long-term memories
src/functions/smart-search.ts, test/smart-search.test.ts
findObservation checks KV.memories after session lookup fails. The test verifies the converted memory observation and metadata.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2bbbe

This change restores smart-search ID expansion, but the current implementation may still reject expansion-only requests, mishandle long-term memory records, and use a fallback path that can produce inconsistent results. These bounded correctness and integration risks should be resolved before merging.

Align the fallback and regression fixture with the KV.memories contract.

src/functions/smart-search.ts reads a Memory record as CompressedObservation, while test/smart-search.test.ts stores a CompressedObservation fixture under KV.memories. The test can pass while production records lack required observation fields.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Allow expand-only smart-search calls.

The shared validation at Lines 130-133 rejects a missing query before this memory_smart_search branch runs. test/smart-search.test.ts invokes the engine with only expandIds at Lines 151-153, and src/triggers/api.ts accepts either query or non-empty expandIds at Lines 1162-1213. A standalone request with only expandIds still throws query is required. Validate memory_recall separately, and require a query for memory_smart_search only when expandIds is empty. Add a proxy regression test for this request.

Route expansion through iii-engine primitives.

Lines 336-337 read long-term memory from InMemoryKV. handleToolCall can reach this path after a proxy failure. The response can then use state outside iii-engine. Route this operation through the required iii-engine function and trigger path.

As per coding guidelines, src/**/*.{ts,tsx}: “Use iii-engine primitives exclusively: route functionality through registerFunction, registerTrigger, and sdk.trigger(); do not use standalone SQLite or in-process alternatives.”

Addressed both correctness findings in the latest push: long-term Memory records are now converted through the existing memoryToObservation adapter, and standalone smart search accepts expand-only requests without falling into match-all behavior. Added proxy and local-fallback regression coverage. Verified with the full suite (1,661 tests passed, 1 skipped) and npm run build.

memory_smart_search expandIds is a silent no-op: standalone MCP shim drops the param, and the engine cannot expand the mem_… IDs smart-search returns
