Summary

PR #80 made DotAIOS retrieval fast and resilient. This PR completes the private-beta continuity loop around it: a nondeveloper can create one user-owned AIOS folder, choose what a session may remember, save deliberately, and resume from another supported agent surface with a visible source-backed result.

The README now leads with that customer outcome instead of adapter mechanics. The product boundary is shared across working context, search, saves, CLI, MCP, Claude capture, Gemini hooks, and generated agent instructions. It does not add a hosted store, a second memory authority, or a persistent index.

Session-settled decisions carried from planning: one local folder remains authoritative; the first customer is an independent consultant or freelancer who avoids configuration; the primary path is one pasted request into a capable local agent; and device validation must preserve the existing business AIOS.

Product decisions

Choice Behavior
Use my memory Memory: Shared keeps the existing personal continuity behavior.
Only this project Memory: This project requires an explicitly registered project with a slug or stable ID. It excludes personal, unscoped, and other-project evidence before matching or rendering.
Private chat Memory: Off prevents subsequent DotAIOS reads, searches, saves, captures, and portable-sync wakes when the mode is forwarded. A host that opened the AIOS router before the first prompt may already have read that router, and the host app may keep its own history.
  • The AIOS folder remains canonical. Agent instruction files, MCP responses, and hooks are bounded bridges into it.
  • Setup leads with one assistant-guided request, previews the exact changes, checks for Node 20+, and prints the one AIOS folder. The terminal commands remain a recovery path.
  • One explicit save appears as one conceptual search result. Separate saves remain separate memories.
  • .env stays an ignored local fallback, never memory. Doctor verifies POSIX mode and ownership without reading it; Windows reports an honest ACL-verification warning instead of a false green.
  • Codex and Claude Code enforce Off through their bridge instructions on each operation. Gemini preserves the first-message choice in its managed hook. The public copy does not overclaim a host-wide lock where the host cannot prove one.

Final boundary hardening

  • Gemini hook stdin is bounded before shell buffering or package invocation. Invalid, oversized, or invalid-UTF-8 input fails closed without opening AIOS.
  • MCP resolve_skill now respects its response budget in Off mode.
  • Project-scoped MCP context and skill requests reject unknown project selectors as safe input errors before emitting a This-project receipt.
  • The packed CLI characterization now proves the release version, help entrypoint, and a zero-write setup preview from extracted package bytes.

Validation

  • npm test: 2,044 passed, 0 failed, 9 intentional skips.
  • npm run smoke: passed.
  • npm run syntax-check: 119 source files parsed.
  • npm run check: passed.
  • npm pack --dry-run --ignore-scripts: 181 files, package metadata dotaios@2.0.3.
  • git diff --check: passed.
  • Focused red-to-green regressions cover Gemini input ceilings, Off-mode response budgets, registered-project receipts, mixed-session Gemini records, project-scope omissions, immutable install handoffs, and mode-specific onboarding copy.
  • Previous review rounds resolved 26 inline threads and 5 unique review-body findings. Fresh Node 20, Node 22, and CodeRabbit results are required on the final head before merge.
  • Live bounded agent receipt: Codex 0.137.0 produced the expected output. Gemini and Claude were invoked but did not produce because of external account/authentication state, so they remain environment limitations rather than support passes.

Post-Deploy Monitoring & Validation

After merge, the release is packed again from a clean ordinary main checkout and installed into an isolated prefix, home, cache, and config. The npm publisher then publishes that exact candidate. Registry verification must match version 2.0.3, dist-tag latest, expected publisher filippo-costa, candidate integrity, and the merge commit before any Git tag or GitHub release is created.

After publication, a fresh macOS user runs the complete onboarding and Shared / This project / Off continuity loop. The existing iMac account and its business AIOS are inventory-only and must not be cleaned, overwritten, or used as the fresh-user environment. Website launch waits for verified registry evidence and approved customer copy.

New concepts

Permission history is not conversation history

An agent host may rewind or replace the visible conversation. That must not rewrite the permission chosen by the session's first prompt. DotAIOS therefore remembers the earliest observed user message for policy selection even when Gemini's JSONL log later contains $rewindTo or $set.messages.

This prevents a rewound Private chat from silently becoming Shared, and prevents a later private-looking prompt from falsely claiming that an already-Shared session was Off. Use this pattern for permissions and consent. Do not use it for ordinary conversation state, where rewind semantics should still apply.

Keep Off monotonic and zero-access, reject unknown project scopes, prevent post-command sync after private operations, and make Gemini's prompt-aware hook fail closed across legacy and current JSONL transcripts.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added shared, project-only, and memory-off session modes with visible receipts.
    • Project sessions now restrict searches, briefs, updates, and saved context to the selected project.
    • Private sessions avoid accessing AIOS memory.
    • Gemini now selects memory from the first prompt using a safer pre-agent flow with fail-closed behavior.
    • Added .env privacy checks and MCP support for memory modes and project scoping.
    • Added migration support for existing Gemini configurations.
  • Documentation

    • Updated setup guidance for assistant-led installation, memory choices, AIOS folder usage, credentials, and privacy.

Walkthrough

The change adds shared, project, and off memory modes across core APIs, CLI commands, MCP tools, and agent hooks. It adds guarded Gemini prompt routing, stricter project filtering, .env privacy checks, assistant-guided setup documentation, and extensive tests.

Gemini uses a versioned BeforeAgent hook with transcript validation, prompt-based routing, managed-hook migration, foreign-hook preservation, and fail-closed responses.
MCP memory-policy gateway
packages/mcp/src/server.mjs, tests/mcp/server.test.mjs, docs/mcp.md
MCP tools accept memory modes and project selectors, validate policies before AIOS access, return bounded off-mode responses, and carry receipts and completion metadata.
Setup, privacy, and release contracts
README.md, docs/*, CHANGELOG.md, docs/plans/*, tests/core/public-contract.test.mjs
Documentation, generated instructions, release notes, and contract tests describe guided setup, memory choices, AIOS ownership, credential boundaries, private chats, and release verification.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ed777

This change introduces visible memory modes, but a current instruction path can open the AIOS folder before Off or unregistered project mode is enforced, potentially exposing session data; Off-mode responses can also exceed their requested budget, and package resolution can stall an agent turn. The privacy-boundary issue is high-impact and should be fixed before merge, with the remaining release and documentation issues requiring owner follow-up.

Inline comments:
In `@CHANGELOG.md`:
- Around line 7-31: Update the changelog so the Gemini hook entry under the
2.0.0 release retains the original SessionStart behavior. Add a 2.0.3 entry
documenting the migration to BeforeAgent, including that users must rerun
“dotaios connect gemini” to update the managed hook.

In `@packages/cli/src/adapters/gemini.mjs`:
- Around line 126-140: Update the embedded classifier to import and use
readGeminiHookInput alongside resolveGeminiPrivateHookOutput, replacing its
direct fs.readFileSync and JSON.parse input handling so the shared size limit
and UTF-8 validation are enforced.
- Around line 278-283: Update the version extraction in the managed-hook
validation flow to match the version specifically from the pinned npx command,
rather than the first dotaios@ occurrence in the entire content. Keep using the
captured package version for buildGeminiHookScriptVersion and preserve rejection
when the pinned command cannot be matched.
- Around line 121-125: Update the fallback envelope in the Gemini memory hook to
avoid setting continue to false, and include hookSpecificOutput with
hookEventName BeforeAgent and empty additionalContext so the agent proceeds
without memory. Update the related assertions in the Gemini memory hook tests to
match the closed-memory receipt.

In `@packages/cli/src/commands/setup.mjs`:
- Around line 293-295: Update the setup instructions near the session choices in
the setup command to state that the checkout must be registered or attached
before selecting “Only this project.” Keep the existing session-choice guidance
and command references unchanged.

In `@packages/cli/src/lib/gemini-memory-hook.mjs`:
- Line 8: Replace the hook’s local PRIVATE_CHAT_RE privacy check with the shared
detectMemoryModeFromFirstMessage detector used by core, importing and invoking
it for the first message while preserving the existing hook privacy behavior.
- Around line 228-241: Update parseGeminiFirstUserMessage so JSONL records
lacking both recognized message and session fields are ignored and parsing
continues. Preserve strict sessionId validation and existing id-record handling,
including unsupported or invalid message validation.

In `@packages/core/src/bridges.mjs`:
- Around line 302-307: Add a concise instruction to the memory-selection
guidance near the project command: when the attached project is unregistered,
retain “Memory: This project,” report that status, and offer dotaios activate
for the directory; never fall back to Shared. Keep the managed block within its
existing 1500-character limit.

In `@packages/core/src/search.mjs`:
- Around line 186-206: Update searchScopesForPolicy so an explicit scope
rejected by project mode is surfaced to callers instead of returning a silent
empty result; preserve the existing allowed-scope behavior and all-scope
filtering. Propagate the refusal through the search result as an omission or
policy notice so complete is false and the CLI can explain the restriction, then
update the corresponding search-memory-policy test expectations.

In `@packages/core/src/working-context-envelope.mjs`:
- Around line 43-56: The buildOffEnvelope function omits memoryReceipt, causing
the Off-mode envelope schema to differ from the normal path. Add memoryReceipt
populated from memoryPolicy.receipt, and update the working-context envelope
test to assert this field for Off mode.

In `@packages/core/src/working-context.mjs`:
- Around line 335-344: Update renderUnbounded so off-mode output only includes
memoryReceipt and memoryNotice values whose type is string, preventing undefined
or non-string metadata from being joined into the user-visible text. Also
replace the hardcoded memoryReceipt fallback with a memoryMode-derived receipt,
preserving an empty prefix when the mode has no applicable receipt rather than
labeling it as Shared.

In `@packages/mcp/src/server.mjs`:
- Around line 392-423: Update serializeOffToolResult to run the same pure schema
validation used by the normal tool path before constructing any Off-mode
response, including required-field, type, enum, and length/bound checks for
search_aios query and resolve_skill intent; retain assertAllowedArguments and
bypass only AIOS access, then add Off-mode tests covering missing, invalid, and
oversized query and intent values.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 43: Pin assistant-facing installation links to the v2.0.3 release: update
README.md lines 43-43 and docs/friend-setup.md lines 23-26 to reference the
v2.0.3-tagged INSTALL.md URL instead of main, and update
tests/core/public-contract.test.mjs lines 111-118 to require the pinned release
tag while rejecting mutable branch URLs.

In `@templates/AGENTS.md.hbs`:
- Around line 40-48: Move the “Private chat” guard in the router template before
the “## Read Order” section and every other file-access instruction. State that
it takes precedence over all later read, search, and save instructions, while
preserving the existing limitation explanation and new-session alternative.

In `@tests/cli/connect.test.mjs`:
- Around line 64-75: Update tests/cli/connect.test.mjs lines 64-75 and
tests/cli/gemini-memory-hook.test.mjs lines 331-345 to create valid transcripts
for their respective sessions, each containing a non-private first user message.
Ensure the generated hook reaches the pinned or stubbed npx command, so each
test verifies the intended binary or npx-failure fallback behavior rather than
missing-transcript handling.

In `@tests/cli/gemini-memory-hook.test.mjs`:
- Around line 219-231: Extract a shared test helper for the repeated fake npx
setup used by the Gemini hook tests, accepting the stub body and returning
binDir and env. Move the common bin-directory creation, npx script writing,
executable permissions, and shift-3/exec argument handling into that helper,
then update the affected tests to use it.

In `@tests/cli/init_packaged_workspace.test.mjs`:
- Around line 88-98: Update dependencyNodeModules to stop its upward search at
repoRoot, checking repoRoot/node_modules but never traversing into parent
directories outside the checkout; when no dependency tree is found within the
checkout, throw an error that clearly states the repository-local node_modules
could not be located.

In `@tests/core/bridges.test.mjs`:
- Around line 86-90: Update the three mode-to-receipt assertions in the bridges
test to match each expected mode and receipt on the same line, removing the
newline-spanning behavior so each bullet’s mapping is verified independently.

In `@tests/core/memory-policy.test.mjs`:
- Around line 56-65: Extend the memory-policy tests around resolveMemoryPolicy
to assert that the shared-memory phrase clears projectSelector to null, while
preserving the existing mode assertions. Add coverage for normalizeMode,
normalizeProjectSelector, and detectMemoryModeFromFirstMessage rejecting
non-string and empty inputs, and verify each failure exposes the
DOTAIOS_MEMORY_POLICY_INVALID error code.

In `@tests/core/search-memory-policy.test.mjs`:
- Around line 112-126: Add a search test covering an unknown projectSelector
passed to searchAios in project memory mode, using a selector absent from the
fixture catalog and asserting the promise rejects with
DOTAIOS_PROJECT_SELECTOR_UNKNOWN. Keep the test focused on the fail-closed
behavior and place it alongside the existing project-memory policy cases.

In `@tests/core/working-context.test.mjs`:
- Around line 151-157: In the project-memory test, replace the single
alternation-based rendered assertion with four separate assertions, one each for
PROJECT_A_README, PROJECT_A_SESSION, PROJECT_A_SIGNAL, and PROJECT_A_EVENT. Keep
the existing exclusion assertion unchanged.

Correct the option constraints in HELP_TEXT.

Correct the provenance claim.

Fixed in 7639f1d — brief help now documents standalone zero-write --memory off and --cwd project resolution without --first-message; README now requests and names _npmUser.name before claiming the registry publisher is displayed. Focused brief-help and public-contract tests pass.

Qualify the Private chat guarantee.

The generated router states that the host has already opened the AIOS router before the first user message. Therefore, Private chat prevents subsequent AIOS file and tool access, but it cannot claim zero AIOS reads in that workspace.

The CHANGELOG entry’s “Private chat” statement overclaims by implying no AIOS access occurs at all.

Addressed in c3a048f — the release note now says Memory: Off prevents subsequent DotAIOS file/tool reads, searches, saves, and captures, while explicitly acknowledging that the AIOS router may already have been opened. The visible receipt and AI-app-history clarification remain intact.

Only this project is available only when DotAIOS has an explicit registered project and a slug or stable ID.

Addressed in c3a048f — friend setup now states that registered-project prerequisite and directs an unregistered folder to Use my memory for Shared or Private chat for Off. Full validation passes (2,039 passed, 0 failed, 9 skipped).

59-68: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use a mode-specific verification prompt.

Line [62] always asks the user to send Use my memory, which selects Shared. Lines [64-68] describe Only this project for a registered project, but they do not instruct the user to send that phrase. The documented flow cannot verify Memory: This project.

If the current folder resolves to a registered project, ask Only this project. Otherwise, ask Use my memory. Keep Private chat for Off.

Proposed wording
-> Use my memory. Read my DotAIOS context and tell me what I am working on.
+> If this folder resolves to a registered project, say `Only this project`.
+> Otherwise, say `Use my memory`. Read my DotAIOS context and tell me what I am working on.

The behavior follows packages/core/src/memory-policy.mjs Lines [15-57], where the first-message mode takes precedence over the project selector.

If the current folder resolves to a registered project, ask Only this project. Otherwise, ask Use my memory. Keep Private chat for Off.

Addressed in 9eb400f — friend setup now gives three separate, copyable first messages: Only this project for a registered project, Use my memory otherwise, and Private chat in a separate new session for Off. The guide ties each prompt to its expected visible receipt, and the public contract now protects all three paths. Full validation passes (2,039 passed, 0 failed, 9 skipped).

Match the complete project prerequisite before Only this project, including explicit project registration and either a slug or stable ID.

Addressed in 11e7a98 — this repeats the inline contract finding. The assertion now requires explicit registration and both selector alternatives before the project-mode prompt, with focused incomplete-copy regressions proving that either omission fails. Full validation passes (2,039 passed, 0 failed, 9 skipped).

Honor budget for Off-mode search_aios responses.

This branch ignores args.budget and returns the full query. A valid request with a 500-character query and budget: 256 produces a response larger than the requested complete-response budget.

304-307: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Scope AIOS access to a valid memory mode.

Line 304 requires an unregistered Memory: This project session to stay closed. Line 307 then applies Otherwise to every non-Off session and instructs the agent to read AGENTS.md. That file is the AIOS entrypoint, so the instruction can open AIOS before dotaios activate. The same line also leaves the Shared and project brief commands insufficiently tied to the selected receipt.

Use the Shared command only for Memory: Shared. Use the project command only after project registration and identity confirmation. Keep AIOS closed for Off and unregistered This project sessions. Keep the managed block below its 1,500-character limit.

Proposed fix
-    `Leave the AIOS folder closed for Off. Otherwise read ${AGENT_ENTRYPOINT} first, then run \`dotaios brief --compact --memory shared\` or \`dotaios brief --compact --memory project --project <slug-or-id>\`; route events, signals, and saved sessions only through the canonical bounded projection.`
+    `Off or unregistered This project: keep AIOS closed. Otherwise read ${AGENT_ENTRYPOINT}; run matching \`dotaios brief --compact --memory shared\` or \`dotaios brief --compact --memory project --project <slug-or-id>\`; route events, signals, and saved sessions through the canonical bounded projection.`

The PR objective requires an explicitly registered project before This project access.

Scope deprecation to post-publication failures.

Line [189] says “If any check fails” and then requires deprecating 2.0.3. That action is invalid for the expected pre-publication E404, a wrong publisher identity, or a failed candidate gate. Change this branch to apply only to post-publication verification failures. Define pre-publication failures as aborts with no tag or deprecation.

The acceptance contract already distinguishes post-publication failures from the initial E404 path.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Bound the synchronous npx fallback.

When private_status is 3, Line 179 runs npx inside command substitution. Package resolution can use the network before the Gemini hook returns. A stalled registry or proxy can delay the Gemini turn until npm retries finish. Add a bounded subprocess timeout or an equivalent bounded npm fetch and retry policy. Keep the closed fallback for timeout and resolution failures.

This assessment is based on the synchronous fallback command in the supplied adapter code.

Finalize the receipt lifecycle; scope AIOS access to the selected mode; strengthen the privacy contracts; and address the two outside-diff runtime concerns.

Addressed in 6f5c4f9:

  • the working receipt is mutable during U3/U4 and finalized as immutable only after its terminal disposition;
  • pre-publication failures abort without deprecation or a hotfix, while post-publication failures retain the incident path;
  • managed bridges keep AIOS closed for Off and unregistered project sessions, and only open the matching Shared or registered-project path;
  • the bridge assertion is line-scoped, the Gemini fallback requires the structured Closed receipt, and the README contract independently protects all three Off limitations.

Not addressing the search_aios 256-character example: 256 is not a valid search budget. Runtime schema validation and the advertised tool schema both enforce a 3,530-character minimum; the maximum 500-character Off query serializes to 784 characters, so every valid Off response is already below its requested limit.

Not adding a second timeout wrapper around npx: every managed Gemini BeforeAgent hook is installed with the host-enforced timeout: 10000. A duplicate shell timeout would be non-portable on the supported macOS path and would not add a tighter user-visible bound.

Validation on the combined state: 2,044 passed, 0 failed, 9 intentional skips; smoke, syntax (119 sources), CLI load, package dry-run, and diff integrity all passed.

… Mac

INSTALL.md step 1 told the assistant to use `brew install node` on macOS, with
`nvm` as the fallback. Neither is reachable on the machine this is written for:
a new Mac has no Homebrew, and nvm is a shell function, so a Node it installs is
not on the path in the assistant's next command. Where brew does exist it
installs the current release — 26 today, while CI covers only 20 and 22, on
ubuntu-latest, with macOS never tested. The route now names the nodejs.org LTS
installer, which lands in /usr/local/bin, already first on the default path, and
adds the version re-check that engines: >=20 never enforces at runtime.

README also promised the assistant "asks before using a supported host
installation path". filocosta46#76 deliberately removed that gate — asking a person who
does not know what Node is 'a dead end wearing the costume of consent' — and
updated README to match. filocosta46#81, a session-privacy change, reintroduced the old
sentence. This restores the agreement, describing what actually happens: the
assistant waits because the installer needs a password it cannot type.

…Homebrew

Review of the first commit turned up three things it got wrong or left open.

The guide sends a first-time user to the nodejs.org LTS, which is 24.19.0, while
CI covered only 20 and 22 on ubuntu-latest. The advertised path therefore landed
on a major no job had ever run. 24 joins the matrix so the recommendation is
something the suite actually exercises.

The obvious alternative — carry the install with a pinned Homebrew formula, as
the 'carry the install to a working state' contract would prefer — does not
work. `node@22` and `node@24` are keg-only versioned formulae: brew installs
them without linking them onto the path, so the agent would install Node and
`node --version` would still fail. That is worse than handing over. The macOS
hand-off is the only route that is both a tested release and on the path, and
step 1 now says so rather than leaving the next reader to rediscover it.

Linux had a floor with no remedy: the step demands 20 or newer but told the
agent to accept whatever the distribution ships, which on Debian stable is
older. It now names the LTS tarball or NodeSource as the way out. Step 1 is a
scannable per-platform list instead of three paragraphs, the unverified claim
about the .pkg landing in /usr/local/bin is gone, and README no longer promises
a hand-off on Windows and Linux, where the assistant runs the installer itself.

Five assertions pin the bootstrap in the public contract. It has regressed twice
already — filocosta46#76 removed the ask-before-Node gate, filocosta46#81 restored it, and the brew
route outlived both — each time with CI green, because nothing tested it.

CI caught this, which is the point. The guard added in filocosta46#87 pinned the literal
string 'installs it for you where it can'. This release legitimately reworded
that sentence — filocosta46#92 made the old wording false, since the assistant no longer
needs a password on macOS — and the guard failed on a change it should have
allowed.

A contract test that pins prose breaks on every honest edit and teaches people
to weaken it. What must hold is the claim: the README says the assistant
installs Node, and never reinstates the ask-before-Node gate that filocosta46#76 removed
and filocosta46#81 accidentally restored. Asserted as those two halves instead, the second
as an explicit doesNotMatch on the exact sentence that regressed before.

* release: 2.0.7

Pins move to 2.0.7 across package.json, README, INSTALL, friend-setup,
getting-started, and the version assertion in public-contract.test.mjs — 54
strings in six files. CHANGELOG's `## [2.0.6]` heading is deliberately left
alone: it is history, and a global replace would rewrite it.

Also fixes a contradiction #92 left behind. #92 changed only INSTALL.md, so
README still told people 'On a Mac it points you at the official installer
instead, because that step needs your administrator password' — which #92 had
just made false. The README now says what the product does: the assistant
installs Node for you, on macOS and Linux without a password.

Releasing matters here rather than being bookkeeping: the README hands the
assistant `blob/v<version>/INSTALL.md`, so a fix on main is invisible until a
tag exists. Until this ships, the advertised path still sends every Apple
Silicon Mac to a `.pkg` nodejs.org does not publish for arm64.

Tests not run locally — this machine is deliberately without Node for a
first-run install test. Verified by re-implementing public-contract.test.mjs's
assertions against the edited files: 17/17. CI is the real check.
