  • type:docs — Documentation only
  • type:refactor — Code refactoring
  • type:chore — Maintenance, dependencies, tooling
  • type:breaking-change — Breaking change

📝 Summary

  • Add atomic literal find/replace updates through MCP and HTTP PATCH.
  • Preserve validation, normalization, revision, and sync semantics.
  • Document the feature and add store, transport, and binary-backed coverage.

📂 Changes

File Change
internal/store/* Atomic replacement, validation, and persistence tests
internal/mcp/* MCP schema and handler support
internal/server/* HTTP PATCH behavior and contract tests
DOCS.md User-facing API documentation

🧪 Test Plan

  • Unit tests: go test ./...
  • E2E tests: go test -tags e2e ./internal/server/...
  • go vet ./... and formatting checks
  • Real binary against isolated SQLite: valid replacement, empty-find no-op, and invalid requests

✅ Contributor Checklist

💬 Notes for Reviewers

The change is intentionally one cohesive PR under an approved size exception because the store contract, both transports, and persistence proof share a single behavior boundary.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added literal find-and-replace updates for observations through the PATCH API and mem_update tool.
    • Replaces all matching occurrences while preserving content when no match is found.
    • Added validation requiring both fields together and preventing combination with direct content updates.
    • Preserves observation revisions and synchronization behavior during updates.
    • Added clear error responses for invalid requests and missing observations.
  • Documentation

    • Updated API and tool documentation with supported fields, constraints, and examples.

Changes

Observation find-and-replace

Layer / File(s) Summary
Store update contract and persistence
internal/store/store.go, internal/store/store_test.go
UpdateObservation accepts paired Find and Replace fields, applies literal replacement, sanitizes and truncates content, and preserves revision and sync behavior.
HTTP update handling
internal/server/server.go, internal/server/server_test.go
The PATCH endpoint accepts find-and-replace updates and returns distinct responses for validation, missing observations, and internal errors.
MCP update wiring and contract
internal/mcp/mcp.go, internal/mcp/mcp_test.go, DOCS.md
mem_update exposes and validates find and replace. Documentation describes the shared update contract and example payloads.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 877ce

The new find-and-replace updates can expand replacement content without a bound before truncation, allowing excessive memory use and making the PR unsafe to merge until this is addressed. The documentation should also be corrected to remove the unsupported field.

p.Find and p.Replace to avoid constructing an unbounded expanded string: use a
bounded replacement that stops after producing enough content for
stripPrivateTags and the MaxObservationLength truncation suffix. Preserve
existing replacement behavior for normal inputs, and add a regression test
covering repeated matches with an oversized replacement.

860-862: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove unsupported project from mem_update documentation.

Line 860 lists project as a supported field. The mem_update schema does not expose project, and the handler does not apply it. Remove project from this list and align the stale compatibility statement at DOCS.md Line 768, or implement the field in both the schema and handler.
