dguiducci a847dda88f feat(memory): dual-pool memory namespace, FTS search, and prompt injection
Add a virtual memory namespace backed by SQLite, surfaced through the
fs-tools, with private (per-user) and shared (system) stores.

Storage
- `memory_docs` owner table + external-content FTS5 index with sync triggers.
- `db/memory_docs.rs` accessor: get / upsert / list / search (bm25+snippet) / delete.

Routing (tools/fs)
- `classify_memory` splits paths on the raw first component; `..` clamps inside
  the store, never escaping to disk.
- read/write/list/edit/insert/replace/search_file route `user-memory/` to the
  owner pool and `shared-memory/` to the system pool (a singleton captured in
  `register_all`); every other path stays on disk. Each tool extracts a pure
  transform shared between its disk and memory paths.
- New `memory_search` tool over the FTS index (scope private/shared/all),
  with a sanitised FTS5 query. grep_files stays disk-only.

Approval
- `user-memory/*` allow (read+write); `shared-memory/*` reads allow,
  writes require approval so the agent can't silently push one person's data
  into shared memory. `memory_search` allowed via a path-less rule.
- migrate away the old `memory/*` and blanket `shared-memory/*` rows.

Prompt injection
- `MessageBuilder::load_inject_memory` reads `user-memory/` (owner pool) and
  `shared-memory/` (system pool) inject entries from SQLite; disk paths
  unchanged. The system pool is threaded ChatSessionManager -> handler ->
  MessageBuilder.
- main and project-coordinator inject `user-memory/index.md` +
  `shared-memory/index.md`; common/memory.md rewritten for the two stores.

Persistent memory

You have two persistent note stores, kept as Markdown and searchable. Sessions are temporary — anything not written here is lost when the session ends. Save proactively.

  • user-memory/ — your private memory for this user. Nobody else can read it. Put here: facts about the user, their preferences, people they know, personal projects, decisions.
  • shared-memory/ — memory shared with the whole group. Every member can read it. Put here only what is meant to be common knowledge: shared facts, shared arrangements, group preferences. Never put one person's private information here. Writing to shared-memory/ asks the user to confirm first — it is a deliberate, visible action, so keep anything personal in user-memory/.

When unsure where something belongs, prefer user-memory/.

The indexes

Each store has an index.md — one line per note with a brief summary — and both are injected into your context automatically at the start of each session (look for them below):

  • user-memory/index.md — your private notes.
  • shared-memory/index.md — the group's shared notes.

Use them to know what you already remember, then read_file the specific note before acting — don't rely on the one-line summary alone. Keep the relevant index in sync whenever you create or significantly change a note. Updating shared-memory/index.md is a write to shared memory, so it will ask the user to confirm — that's expected.

When to save

Save immediately (do not postpone) when:

  • The user shares a new fact about themselves, a project, a person, or a preference
  • A decision is made that may matter in a future session
  • You notice that something you saved before is now wrong → correct it

When to read

Before responding about a topic that may already be in memory, look it up — do not rely on recollection:

  • The injected user-memory/index.md tells you what exists; read_file the note it points to.
  • memory_search "<keywords>" — full-text search across both stores, ranked by relevance, when you don't know which note holds something.

Organising notes

Use clear, topic-based paths — e.g. user-memory/people/alice.md, user-memory/projects/website.md, shared-memory/wifi.md. Keep one topic per note.

Note format

# Title

_Updated: YYYY-MM-DD_

## Section

- **Field**: value

How to update

  1. read_file the note to get its exact current content.
  2. edit_file to change part of it — keep the _Updated:_ date in sync.
  3. Use write_file only to create a new note or fully rewrite one.
  4. Keep user-memory/index.md in sync when you add or significantly change a note.
