.slice(0, CHANNEL_MEMORY_PROMPT_CHAR_LIMIT) operates on UTF-16 code units and can split surrogate pairs. The codebase already has truncateCodePoints in sanitize.ts (used by sanitizeSenderName, sanitizeQuotedText, sanitizeLogText) that correctly handles this via Array.from(). |

Only one truncation test (13000+ chars). Missing coverage for: exact 12000-char boundary (<= branch, non-truncated header), empty/whitespace-only memory triggering return undefined, and the loop-job call site (~line 714) truncation path. |
Add tests for: (1) 'a'.repeat(12_000) asserting non-truncated header, (2) control-char-only memory asserting no "Channel memory for this chat" in prompt, (3) loop-job truncation |

formatChannelMemoryPrompt silently truncates with no stderr log or metric. The same file has 54+ process.stderr.write calls for similar operational events. An operator cannot diagnose truncation from logs. |

Verification report — real end-to-end run on Linux 🐧I verified this PR by driving the real channel stack (not mocks): a real Verdict: the fix works for BMP-only memory, but it injects a false truncation claim for memory containing astral characters (emoji). One-line fix, verified below. Recommend fixing before merge.
1. The new tests are non-vacuous ✅Both new tests fail against the merge-base implementation and pass against the PR — they genuinely pin the behavior. 2. What the model actually received over HTTP

| merge-base | e06d3be2b |
| 单元测试 | 391 通过 |
| 系统 | 🐧 Linux (ubuntu, Node 22) |
1. 新增测试是非空洞的 ✅
两个新测试在 merge-base 实现上失败、在 PR 上通过，确实锁住了行为（见上方英文第 1 节的终端输出）。
2. 模型在链路上真正收到了什么
见上方英文第 2 节表格。tail kept 表示写在 CHANNEL.md 末尾的哨兵 ZZTAILZZ 仍然出现在 prompt 里，也就是什么都没被截掉。
关键是 PR / emoji 7k 这一行：其载荷与 BASE 逐字节完全相同（28,008 字节），说明这个上限一个字符都没删掉 —— 但 prompt 现在却告诉模型 memory 被截断了。
3. 问题 — 虚假的截断标记（ChannelBase.ts:107）
判断条件用的是 UTF-16 code unit（String.length），而截断用的是 Unicode code point（truncateCodePoints，其文档注释里写明了）。只要 memory 满足 codePoints <= 12,000 < codeUnits，判断条件会成立，但 truncateCodePoints 实际是个 no-op：完整的 memory 被注入，却带上了 (truncated) 标题和 [Channel memory truncated] 标记。
触发条件：memory 含有 N 个星平面字符，且其 code point 数落在 (12,000 − N, 12,000] 区间内。一个 emoji 就够了。 最小复现（直接跑编译后的 dist/ChannelBase.js + 真实的 core readChannelMemory + 磁盘真实文件，内容就是 'a'.repeat(11_999) + '🎉'）：
memory file : 12003 bytes, 12001 code units, 12000 code points
header : Channel memory for this chat (truncated):
marker appended : true
emoji still present: true
chars actually removed from memory: 0
影响： prompt 现在断言了一件在 main 上并不存在的、且不成立的事情。模型被告知一部分 channel memory 被扣留了，而实际上全部内容都在。模型可能因此犹豫、为"缺失上下文"道歉，或者试图去找回根本没被丢弃的记忆。考虑到本项目的 channel adapter 面向微信 / 钉钉 / QQ，接近上限且 emoji 密集的 memory 并不是什么罕见输入。
4. 说明 — 这个预算到底以什么为单位？
修掉标记问题后还剩一个设计问题：上限实际是按 code point 执行的，但常量名（..._CHAR_LIMIT）、判断条件、以及 PR 自己的断言（expect(promptText.length).toBeLessThan(12_500)，这是 code unit 口径）读起来都像 code unit。上面链路实测的后果：emoji 12k 占用 24,000 code unit / 48,000 字节，是 12,000 个 ASCII 字符的 4 倍字节数。上游 MAX_CHANNEL_MEMORY_BYTES = 1 MiB，所以这是可达的。
在 code point 预算的定义下这不算 bug，但 PR 的目标写的是"bounding its prompt impact"，值得明确决定一下。
5. 根因：两个 commit 各修一个 bug、各引入一个
commit 1 用 .slice 限制了 code unit，但会劈开代理对（lone surrogate 在 UTF-8 编码上链路后变成 U+FFFD，已实测确认）。commit 2 按 review 建议改用 truncateCodePoints，修好了劈开代理对的问题，但判断条件仍然是 code unit。那条 review 建议只提到了截断处，没提到判断条件。
6. 建议修复（已验证）
让判断条件与截断使用同一单位。一行改动；391 个测试全部保持通过，emoji 场景恢复诚实：
- if (sanitized.length <= CHANNEL_MEMORY_PROMPT_CHAR_LIMIT) {
+ if (Array.from(sanitized).length <= CHANNEL_MEMORY_PROMPT_CHAR_LIMIT) {
return `Channel memory for this chat:\n${sanitized}`;
}Fix A（上面这个）是最小改动，且不破坏任何现有测试。Fix B（在 code unit 上做不劈开代理对的截断）还能把 prompt 硬性限制在 12,000 code unit —— 如果第 4 节的答案是"预算应该约束体积"就选它 —— 但它会把边界上的 emoji 整个丢掉，所以 expect(promptText).toContain('\u{1f389}') 需要改成"不出现 lone surrogate"的断言。
7. 其他观察（不阻塞）
scripts/tests/qwen-autofix-workflow.test.js与 channel memory 无关，但确实是一次真实的修复。 本 PR 没有改动.github/workflows/qwen-autofix.yml，且该文件在 merge-base 和origin/main上完全一致。用origin/main上的这份测试文件去跑同一个未改动的 yml，结果是2 failed | 46 passed—— 也就是说这个测试今天在main上就是红的，本 PR 把它修好了。建议拆成独立 PR（同时也说明main目前是红的），但这不属于有害的范围蔓延。ChannelBase.ts:3466的memoryText ? formatChannelMemoryPrompt(memoryText) : undefined是冗余的：formatChannelMemoryPrompt对空/纯空白输入本来就返回undefined。:716处的 loop 调用点没有加这层保护，反而更干净。- 之前 review 的两条建议仍未处理：正好等于 12,000 的边界测试，以及截断时给运维可见的日志。边界为 12,000 时行为是正确的（已验证：
plain标题、无标记），只是没有测试覆盖。 [Channel memory truncated]标记是纯文本，且位于可被用户影响的区域内。memory 只有 allowlist 用户能写，所以严重性很低，但一条包含该字面量的 memory 条目与真正的标记无法区分。
Verified on Linux with the real channel stack in tmux: real CHANNEL.md → qwen channel start (plugin-example channel over WebSocket) → AcpBridge → recorded POST /v1/chat/completions. Unit tests, a compiled-dist probe using the real readChannelMemory core adapter, and per-commit bisection of this PR's two commits.

[Suggestion] The constant CHANNEL_MEMORY_PROMPT_CODE_POINT_LIMIT = 12_000 has no comment explaining why this value was chosen. A one-line note (e.g., fraction of model context budget, heuristic from observed memory sizes, or coupling with DEBUG_PAYLOAD_LIMIT which is also 12,000) would help future maintainers tune it without guessing.

[Suggestion] When truncation fires, there's no stderr log or metric. An oncall engineer debugging "the bot forgot what I told it" can't distinguish "memory was truncated" from "memory was never saved" without intercepting the model prompt. A one-line process.stderr.write when isTruncated is true — matching the existing logChannelMemoryError pattern nearby — would make this operationally visible.

[Suggestion] Array.from(str) iterates by code point, not grapheme cluster. If the 12,000th code point lands mid-ZWJ-sequence (e.g., family emoji 👨👩👧👧), the output will contain a broken partial glyph before the [Channel memory truncated] marker. This is a pre-existing limitation, but the new call site on channel memory (which plausibly contains emoji) is the most likely to hit it. Consider Intl.Segmenter for grapheme-safe splitting when available.

Re-verification after the fix commit — the false-truncation bug I reported is resolved ✅I re-ran a real local build + test on the current head ( Verdict: ready to merge.

const isTruncated = truncated !== sanitized; // same unit on both sides4.

中文说明
我在当前 head（205815174）上做了一次真实的本地构建 + 测试，确认我此前在 06254fac5 上提出的 emoji「虚假截断」问题是否已修复。已修复。 提交 a4b207a8（fix(channels): count memory prompt limit by code points）让截断判断条件与截断本身使用同一单位（code point），因此 code-point 安全的 memory 不会再被错误标记为 (truncated)。
结论：可以合并。 我之前留下的三条 inline 建议（常量说明注释、截断时的 stderr 日志、grapheme cluster 边界）仍未处理，但均不阻塞。
环境：macOS · Node v22.23.1 · vitest 3.2.4 · 全新 git worktree + 干净 npm install。
- 构建 + 测试全绿：
tsc --buildexit 0；ChannelBase.test.ts363 passed；channel-memory-intent.test.ts6 passed（合计 369/369）；prettier 三个文件全部合规。 - 范围恢复干净：diff 现在正好 3 个文件，之前请求删除的
qwen-autofix-workflow.test.js无关改动已不在。 - 根因已修：旧代码判断条件用
sanitized.length（UTF-16 code unit），截断用truncateCodePoints（code point）；head 改为isTruncated = truncated !== sanitized，两侧同一单位。 - 新测试非空洞：把旧的 code-unit 判断条件重新放回当前文件 → emoji 测试失败（1 failed）；恢复修复 → 17 passed。测试确实锁住了这个 bug。
- 链路层 before/after（同一输入
'a'×11999 + 🎉，12000 code points / 12001 code units，走真实handleInbound → bridge.prompt）：06254fac5=(truncated)标题 + 标记但 0 字符被删（虚假）；head = 普通标题、无标记、完整 memory 保留（诚实）。 - 合并/CI：

What this PR does
This PR caps channel memory when it is injected into a channel prompt. If saved channel memory is very large, Qwen Code now injects only a bounded prefix and adds an explicit truncation marker instead of sending the full memory blob to the model.
Why it's needed
Automatic channel memory recall is already active for fresh channel sessions. Without a prompt-side budget, a large persisted memory file can consume too much context before the user prompt reaches the model. This keeps Phase 2 recall useful while bounding its prompt impact.
Reviewer Test Plan
How to verify
Run the focused channel base tests and confirm long channel memory is truncated before prompt injection while existing recall, sanitization, failure fallback, and intent parsing coverage still passes.
Evidence (Before & After)
Before: a long saved channel memory string was injected into the prompt in full, including the tail beyond 12,000 characters.
After: the injected memory block is labeled as truncated, omits the tail beyond the cap, and includes
[Channel memory truncated]before the user prompt.Tested on

中文说明
What this PR does
这个 PR 给 channel memory 自动注入 prompt 的路径加上长度上限。如果已保存的 channel memory 非常大，Qwen Code 现在只注入有界前缀，并加上明确的截断标记，而不是把完整 memory blob 都发给模型。
Why it's needed
fresh channel session 的自动 channel memory recall 已经在主干生效。如果 prompt 侧没有预算限制，一个很大的持久化 memory 文件会在用户问题进入模型前消耗过多上下文。这个改动让 Phase 2 recall 保持可用，同时控制它对 prompt 的影响。
Reviewer Test Plan
How to verify
运行 focused channel base tests，确认超长 channel memory 在注入 prompt 前会被截断，同时现有 recall、sanitization、失败降级和 intent parsing 覆盖仍然通过。
Evidence (Before & After)
Before：超长 saved channel memory 会完整注入 prompt，包括 12,000 字符之后的尾部。
After：注入的 memory block 会标记为 truncated，省略超过上限的尾部，并在用户 prompt 前包含
[Channel memory truncated]。Tested on
