Problem

mem_update exposes title, content, type, scope, and topic_key, but not project. So an observation saved under the wrong project can never be moved through the public API — the only recourse is raw SQL against engram.db or a full export → edit → reimport round-trip. There's no per-observation reassignment anywhere (CLI, MCP, or HTTP); projects/migrate and consolidate operate at whole-project granularity.

This is easy to hit in practice: when the working directory resolves to a fallback/default project, a batch of observations lands in the wrong bucket and there's no supported way to reclassify them individually.

Fix

The backend already supports this — the missing piece was only the MCP surface:

  • store.UpdateObservationParams already has a Project *string field.
  • store.UpdateObservation already writes it (via NormalizeProject).
  • handleUpdate's "nothing to update" guard already references update.Project.

Only the tool schema and the argument parse were absent. This PR:

  1. Adds mcp.WithString("project", ...) to the mem_update tool definition.
  2. Reads it in handleUpdate into update.Project.
  3. Adds TestUpdateObservationReassignsProject covering reassign + persisted re-read.

Test

go test ./internal/store/ -run TestUpdateObservationReassignsProject
ok  github.com/Gentleman-Programming/engram/internal/store

+46 lines, no behavior change to existing fields.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a dashboard for browsing, searching, viewing, editing, and deleting observations.
    • Added project statistics and expanded statistics details.
    • Added author attribution for saved observations and session summaries, including dashboard and Markdown views.
    • Added support for the Pi runner in semantic conflict scanning.
    • Added support for reassigning an observation to a different project when updating it; changes persist when viewed again.
  • Documentation
    • Expanded statistics endpoint documentation and added maintainer handoff guidance.

mem_update accepted title/content/type/scope/topic_key but not project, so
an observation saved under the wrong project could never be moved — the only
recourse was raw SQL or an export/edit/reimport round-trip.

The store layer already supported this: UpdateObservationParams has a Project
field, UpdateObservation writes it (with NormalizeProject), and handleUpdate's
guard already referenced update.Project. Only the tool schema and the argument
parse were missing. This wires both and adds a store-level test.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The mem_update MCP tool now accepts an optional project value, passes it into observation updates, and includes a test confirming the reassigned project persists after re-fetching.

Changes

Observation project reassignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Project reassignment persistence
internal/store/store_test.go
Adds coverage for changing an observation’s project, checking the returned value, and verifying persistence through GetObservation.
MCP update project input
internal/mcp/mcp.go
Adds the optional project tool parameter and assigns it to the update request in handleUpdate.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d0ad7

The dashboard can expose or modify local observations from hostile web content and execute stored input, while Pi scans may run tools and fail on valid multi-turn output. Author synchronization and Pi project reassignment are also incomplete, so these issues should be fixed before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Extend coverage beyond the happy path.

This test verifies successful reassignment and persistence, but omits UpdateObservation error paths and project-input edge cases. Add deterministic assertions for an invalid/missing observation ID and the intended empty/normalization behavior before merge.

As per path instructions, **/*_test.go must verify happy path, error paths, and edge cases, and behavior changes without tests should be blocked.

Pull request overview

This PR extends the MCP mem_update tool so callers can reassign an existing observation to a different project, matching capabilities already present in the store layer. It also adds a store-level test to confirm project reassignment persists.

Changes:

  • Add a project string parameter to the MCP mem_update tool schema.
  • Parse the project argument in handleUpdate and forward it via store.UpdateObservationParams.
  • Add TestUpdateObservationReassignsProject to validate reassignment and persistence on re-read.

  • setProject looks up the active <li> via a selector that embeds the project string into an onclick="..." attribute match. This will fail for project names containing quotes, and couples selection logic to inline JS.

Once the list uses a data-project attribute, select the active element by data-project instead (with CSS.escape).

function setProject(p) {
  currentProject = p;
  document.querySelectorAll("#project-list li").forEach(el => el.classList.remove("active"));
  const li = document.querySelector(`#project-list li[onclick="setProject('${p}')"]`);
  if (li) li.classList.add("active");

internal/server/server.go:834

  • GET /projects/stats returns ProjectStats, which includes directories aggregated from sessions. That can expose local filesystem paths to unauthenticated callers and is more data than the dashboard needs (it only uses observation_count).

Consider returning a minimal shape (name + observation_count) here, or protecting the endpoint with auth.

	stats, err := s.store.ListProjectsWithStats()

  • CORS is enabled for all endpoints with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *. Because the server binds to 127.0.0.1 and is unauthenticated by default, this allows any website opened in the browser to read and mutate local Engram data via XHR/fetch (a common localhost attack). Consider making CORS opt-in (env-gated) and only echoing an allowlisted Origin instead of *.
func corsMiddleware(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
	return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")
		w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS")
		w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Content-Type, Authorization")

			w.WriteHeader(http.StatusNoContent)

		}
		next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
	})

  • handleDashboard ignores the ReadFile error and will write an empty response if the embedded file is missing/corrupt; it should return a 500 so failures are visible and easier to debug.
func (s *Server) handleDashboard(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=utf-8")
	html, _ := dashboardFS.ReadFile("dashboard/index.html")
	w.Write(html)
}

internal/server/dashboard/index.html:176

  • The dashboard hard-codes the API base URL to http://127.0.0.1:7437, which breaks if the server is running on a different port, behind a proxy, or accessed via localhost. Since the dashboard is served by the same server, using relative URLs avoids this portability issue (and avoids needing CORS).
const API = "http://127.0.0.1:7437";
let currentProject = "";
let currentObs = null;
let allObs = [];

function api(path, opts) { return fetch(API + path, opts).then(r => r.json()); }

internal/server/dashboard/index.html:200

  • Project names are inserted into innerHTML and into an inline onclick handler without escaping. Since project names ultimately come from stored data, this is an XSS vector (and it also breaks selection for project names containing quotes). Prefer encoding the value into a safe data-project attribute and avoid embedding it inside JS string literals.
    const list = document.getElementById("project-list");
    list.innerHTML = `<li class="${currentProject===''?'active':''}" onclick="setProject('')">All Projects <span class="count">${s.total_observations}</span></li>`;
    s.projects.forEach(p => {
      list.innerHTML += `<li class="${currentProject===p?'active':''}" onclick="setProject('${p}')" data-project="${p.replace(/"/g, '&quot;')}">${p}</li>`;
    });

internal/server/dashboard/index.html:380

  • setProject relies on selecting an element by matching the full onclick="setProject('...')" attribute, which is brittle and will fail for project names containing quotes (and if the onclick formatting changes). Selecting by data-project avoids this fragility.
function setProject(p) {
  currentProject = p;
  document.querySelectorAll("#project-list li").forEach(el => el.classList.remove("active"));
  const li = document.querySelector(`#project-list li[onclick="setProject('${p}')"]`);
  if (li) li.classList.add("active");
  loadObservations(p);

internal/server/dashboard/index.html:255

  • The markdown link renderer injects the captured URL directly into an href attribute without attribute-escaping or scheme validation. A memory body containing something like ["](" onmouseover="...") or a javascript: URL can break out of the attribute / execute script. Please escape quotes at minimum and consider allowlisting URL schemes (http/https/mailto) before emitting an <a> tag.
function mdInline(raw) {
  let s = escapeHtml(raw);
  s = s.replace(/\[\[([^\]|]+)(?:\|([^\]]+))?\]\]/g, (_, a, b) => `<span class="wiki-link">[[${b||a}]]</span>`);
  s = s.replace(/`([^`\n]+)`/g, (_, c) => `<code>${c}</code>`);
  s = s.replace(/\[([^\]]+)\]\(([^)]+)\)/g, (_, t, u) => `<a href="${u}" target="_blank" rel="noopener">${t}</a>`);

internal/store/store.go:99

  • Author is now persisted on observations, but it is not included in the cloud sync payloads (syncObservationPayload, observationPayloadFromObservation, and applyObservationUpsertTx). This will drop author provenance during autosync / cross-device replication.
type Observation struct {
	ID             int64   `json:"id"`

Forward project in mem_update.

The MCP mem_update contract now accepts project, but this PATCH body does not send it. A Pi request that only changes project is rejected as having no fields. A request that changes another field silently leaves the project unchanged. Add the missing property.

Proposed fix
        body: {
          title: params.title,
          content: params.content,
          type: params.type,
          scope: params.scope,
          topic_key: params.topic_key,
+         project: params.project,
        },

behavior at both sites, with the anchor site updated directly and the sibling
site receiving the same safe construction.

captured URL before inserting it into href, allowing only http: and https:
protocols; reject or leave unsafe links unrendered while preserving safe-link
rendering.
- Line 368: Update the dashboard deletion flow around deleteObservation to
authenticate DELETE mutation requests when ENGRAM_HTTP_TOKEN is configured,

- Line 186: Update corsMiddleware to stop using the wildcard
Access-Control-Allow-Origin policy; remove CORS for the same-origin dashboard or

- Line 96: Add Author to syncObservationPayload and update

Pi CLI documentation --no-tools flag --no-context-files JSON mode

💡 Result:

In the Pi CLI, the --no-tools and --no-context-files flags are used to disable specific agent capabilities during startup [1][2]. --no-tools (-nt): Disables all built-in, extension, and custom tools [1][3]. --no-context-files (-nc): Disables the automatic discovery and loading of AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md context files [1][2]. For JSON output, the Pi CLI provides specific execution modes via the --mode flag [4][5]: --mode json: Operates the agent in JSON mode, outputting all events as a stream of JSON lines [4][5]. This is typically used for integration with pipelines and log processors [5]. --mode rpc: Operates in RPC mode, allowing control of the agent over line-delimited JSON through standard input and standard output [4][5]. These flags and modes can be combined to customize the agent's behavior for automation or headless environments [5].

Pi CLI documentation --no-session session persistence --no-context-files

💡 Result:

In the Pi CLI, the flags --no-session and --no-context-files control how the tool manages state and project-specific instructions [1][2]. --no-session This flag enables ephemeral mode, meaning Pi will not save the current session to disk [1][3]. It is typically used for disposable tasks or automated processes where you do not need to resume the conversation later [3]. --no-context-files (or -nc) This flag disables the automatic discovery and loading of context files, specifically AGENTS.md, AGENTS.override.md, and CLAUDE.md [1][3]. By default, Pi searches for these files in your project to apply project-specific conventions, commands, and safety rules [1]. Disabling this is useful when you need to isolate the agent from unexpected project instructions or troubleshoot baseline behavior [3]. These flags can be combined with other options to customize the agent's startup state precisely [1][2].

pi.dev JSON events message_end message assistantMessageEvent text_delta model contract

💡 Result:

In the pi.dev JSON event stream protocol, events follow a specific lifecycle managed by the agent [1][2]. The message lifecycle consists of three primary events: message_start, message_update, and message_end [1][3][2]. Key aspects of these events include: message_start: Indicates the beginning of a message (user, assistant, or tool result) and includes the initial message object [3][4][5]. message_update: Emitted specifically for assistant messages during streaming [3][4]. To optimize stream size, these events are delta-only, omitting cumulative message snapshots and partial state [1][6][7]. They contain an assistantMessageEvent object—typically of type text_delta—which provides the delta content and an index [1][8][5]. Because these are deltas, they should be used for live streaming UI updates rather than attempting to assemble the complete message [1][7]. message_end: Emitted when the message is complete and provides the final, authoritative version of the assistant message [1][6][7]. The overall contract for these events requires that streaming subscribers handle delta updates efficiently and rely on message_end for the final state [4][7]. Usage statistics, when reported by the provider, are included at the top level of message_update events [1][6]. The core event types and structures are defined within the pi-agent-core package, ensuring consistent behavior across JSON and RPC modes [9][5][7].

pi.dev JSON output message_end message assistantMessageEvent model text_delta

💡 Result:

In the pi.dev API architecture, message_end, message, assistantMessageEvent, and text_delta are components of the JSON-based event stream protocol used for agent-assistant communication [1][2][3]. The structure of these events and their roles in the message lifecycle are as follows: message_update: This event is emitted during the streaming of assistant messages [1][4]. To keep stream sizes linear and efficient, it intentionally omits the full cumulative message snapshot [2][4]. Instead, it contains an assistantMessageEvent field [1][3]. assistantMessageEvent: This field encapsulates granular updates from the model [1][4]. It includes a type field to specify the nature of the update (e.g., text_delta, thinking_start, toolcall_delta) and a contentIndex to help clients track which part of the message is being updated [1][5][2]. text_delta: This is a specific type of assistantMessageEvent [1][5]. It is used to stream a chunk of text content from the assistant to the client [1][2][4]. The delta field within this event contains the actual string of new text [1][6][4]. message_end: This event is emitted once an assistant message is fully complete [1][5][7]. It contains the final, authoritative message object, which should be used by the client as the definitive state for that turn [1][2][3]. Summary of Workflow: 1. Clients receive a message_start event when an assistant begins responding [7][2]. 2. For text generation, the client receives a series of message_update events [2][8]. 3. Each message_update event carries an assistantMessageEvent of type text_delta containing a delta string [1][4]. The client assembles these chunks using the contentIndex [1][2]. 4. Once generation finishes, a message_end event provides the complete, authoritative message [2][4]. For tool calls, similar events exist (toolcall_start, toolcall_delta, toolcall_end) to stream arguments and complete the execution [1][5][9].

Parse the terminal assistant message_end.message.

Pi marks message_update records as delta-only and provides the final authoritative message in message_end.message. parsePiNDJSON currently appends deltas from every assistant turn, so a tool-assisted run can concatenate preliminary text with the final verdict and return ErrInvalidJSON. Capture the terminal assistant message, extract its text and model, and parse only that message.

Update TestPiRunner_GoldenNDJSON to include message_end, and add a deterministic preliminary-turn fixture that asserts the final verdict and model.

CORS (CWE-942)

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Moderate

Restrict CORS to trusted origins.

corsMiddleware allows every origin to read responses and send PATCH requests. The observation read and update routes are unauthenticated when ENGRAM_HTTP_TOKEN is unset. When a browser permits loopback access, a hostile page can read observation data and modify observations cross-origin.

Remove CORS for the same-origin dashboard, or allow only an explicit trusted origin. Do not allow mutation methods for untrusted origins.

Add deterministic tests for the new routes.

Add handler and route-response tests for /, /dashboard, and /projects/stats. Cover the redirect, embedded HTML response, statistics success, store failure, and CORS preflight. Document the new routes in this PR if current documentation does not cover them.

As per path instructions, “New or modified endpoints need handler tests (parsing/validation) and route+response tests. If a payload or route changes, update docs in the same PR.”

Include Author in the observation sync payload.

Observation.Author is now stored locally, but syncObservationPayload and observationPayloadFromObservation do not contain or map it. The AddObservation paths therefore enqueue sync mutations that silently drop the author, even though local reads and full export/import preserve it. Add Author to the sync type and map it at every payload construction and apply boundary.

Proposed fix
 type syncObservationPayload struct {
   SyncID         string  `json:"sync_id"`
   SessionID      string  `json:"session_id"`
   Type           string  `json:"type"`
   Title          string  `json:"title"`
   Content        string  `json:"content"`
   ToolName       *string `json:"tool_name,omitempty"`
+  Author         *string `json:"author,omitempty"`
   Project        *string `json:"project,omitempty"`
 }

 func observationPayloadFromObservation(obs *Observation) syncObservationPayload {
   return syncObservationPayload{
     SyncID:   obs.SyncID,
     SessionID: obs.SessionID,
     Content:  obs.Content,
     ToolName: obs.ToolName,
+    Author:   obs.Author,
     Project:  obs.Project,
   }

Qualify the cost claim for Pi.

This example now includes pi, but the following statement says the semantic judge costs $0 with a subscription. Pi uses the configured provider and can use an API key, so that guarantee does not apply to every Pi configuration. Restrict the claim to subscription-backed runners or state that Pi cost depends on its provider configuration. (pi.dev)
