Summary

Syncs the fork with official MemPalace 3.7.1 while preserving normalized conversation ingestion, stable subject routing, the official MCP SDK integration, and the fork's release contract.

The upstream reconnect fix cleared Chroma's global cache but retained loaded HNSW clients and treated local writes like peer-process changes. Under Hermes-style reconnect churn, that grew RSS by about 2.5 GiB and could invalidate collection handles. This version closes stale clients only for genuine peer changes and refreshes the local database signature after owned writes.

Performance

60,000 synthetic 384-dimensional drawers, 20 peer-process writes, and one HTTP MCP reconnect/search cycle per write:

Build Search p95 RSS growth HTTP timeouts
Stock merged candidate 191 ms 2,582 MiB 0
Final 3.7.1+oc.1 wheel 177 ms 147 MiB 0

The benchmark uses synthetic content and a 30-second request timeout. It does not mutate the live palace.

…emPalace#2002)

_get_client() detects a peer writer's inode/mtime change and rebuilds the
client via ChromaBackend.make_client(), but chromadb caches its System (and
the live in-memory HNSW segment) keyed by path. The rebuilt client is handed
back the same stale segment, which on its next _persist() overwrites the
on-disk index, destroying records other writers had already indexed. Observed
in a live multi-writer palace: the persisted index count went backwards (4 to 3).

Call the existing _force_chroma_cache_reset() on the staleness path, before
make_client(), so chromadb rebuilds the segment from the on-disk state. The
call is guarded by the existing inode_changed/mtime_changed check, so it has
no effect on first-open.

Adds test_get_client_resets_chroma_system_cache_on_reconnect, which asserts the
reset runs before make_client on an mtime reconnect (fails without the fix).

Refs MemPalace#1963.
…n inode/mtime reopen

_client() reconstructs PersistentClient on an inode/mtime change but did not drop chromadb's process-global SharedSystemClient cache first, so the rebuilt client reused the stale path-keyed System (and its in-memory HNSW segment) and could persist an outdated index over on-disk changes -- the same class as MemPalace#2002, reached via _client() instead of _get_client.

Add SharedSystemClient.clear_system_cache() to the external-change branch of _client(), mirroring mcp_server._force_chroma_cache_reset (MemPalace#2026) and repair._close_chroma_handles. Backend-level regression test asserts the reset fires on the change reopen, strictly before the reconstruct, and not on first open (chroma-core/chroma#2536, #5843).

Fixes MemPalace#2028.
Two monkeypatch.setattr calls were wrapped across lines that fit within
the line length; ruff format --check flagged them. Formatter-only, no
behavior change.

The MemPalace#2002 staleness reconnect makes _get_client() call
_force_chroma_cache_reset(), which clears chromadb's path-keyed
SharedSystemClient cache. Two TestDeleteBySource tests grabbed a
closets collection handle *before* calling tool_delete_by_source and
then asserted on it afterwards, by which point the reset had dropped
the Rust binding underneath the handle (AttributeError:
'RustBindingsAPI' object has no attribute 'bindings').

Re-acquire the closets collection after the tool call in both tests.
Production callers already re-acquire fresh handles per call, so this
is a test-lifetime issue, not a regression in the fix.

MemPalace#21 (CRITICAL, data-loss): multi-batch re-mine had no completion marker.
A mid-file crash after batch 1 committed but before a later batch left
permanently silent partial data -- the surviving drawers shared the
file's unchanged on-disk mtime, so file_already_mined() treated the
file as fully mined forever. Every chunk now carries chunk_total, and
file_already_mined() verifies a matching-mtime group's drawer count
reaches chunk_total before reporting True. Drawers with no chunk_total
(legacy rows, single-shot add_drawer()) are trusted as before.

MemPalace#22 (HIGH, correctness/TOCTOU): source_mtime was captured via a fresh
os.path.getmtime() well after content was read, chunked, and
room-detected. A file appended to in that window got its new drawers
stamped with an mtime that already matched the (now newer) on-disk
state, so the appended tail was silently, permanently skipped on every
future mine. _read_text_no_follow now returns (content, mtime) from
the same fstat() that validates the file; process_file threads that
single value through instead of re-stating.

MemPalace#23 (HIGH, silent-failure): a failed stale-drawer purge was swallowed
to a debug log and mining proceeded anyway, silently producing
duplicate or orphaned drawers. A purge failure now aborts this file's
mine attempt (old drawers' stored mtime is untouched, so the next mine
still sees a mismatch and retries) and prints a visible warning,
matching every other degraded path in this module.

MemPalace#24 (LOW, data-loss): the old-drawer delete ran unconditionally, but
the closet purge+rebuild only ran when drawers_added > 0 -- a file
whose chunks all landed below min_chunk_size after boundary-splitting
lost its drawers but kept stale closets pointing at now-deleted IDs.
purge_file_closets now runs whenever the delete-and-rebuild cycle
does, regardless of the new chunk count; only the rebuild itself stays
conditional.

169 tests pass across test_miner.py/test_convo_miner*.py/test_palace.py/
test_hallways.py/test_format_miner.py/test_miner_fts5_validation.py, no
regressions. Full suite: 1 unrelated pre-existing flake in
test_mcp_server.py (module-global peer-writer-lock state leaking across
test files in full-suite ordering -- passes standalone and as a full
file; the diff here never touches mcp_server.py).
Rewrite the 3.7.0 section as short, scannable bullets like 3.6.0 —
bold lead, one or two sentences per item, thematically grouped fixes —
instead of multi-paragraph issue writeups.
Windows CI intermittently returns zero hybrid hits right after a fast
seed write (same class as "Nothing found on disk" on tiny collections).
Close the palace client after seeding so the next open re-reads flushed
segments, retry search once if empty, and assert non-empty results with
a clear message instead of IndexError.
…earch-empty-results

fix(tests): harden hybrid search against empty Windows Chroma reads
`os.walk` and `glob` list a FIFO, a socket and a device node as ordinary
filenames, and MemPalace decides what to read from the suffix. Opening a
FIFO for reading parks in the kernel until a writer appears, so a named
pipe called `notes.md` in a mined directory wedged `mempalace mine`
forever — no output, no error, no progress. `mine --mode convos`,
`sweep`, `init`, `compress` and `split` blocked the same way.

Two shapes are at fault.

Four helpers already refused non-regular files with `fstat` + `S_ISREG`,
but the check sat *after* a blocking `os.open`, so it could never run.
Adding `O_NONBLOCK` to those opens makes the existing type check
reachable: the open returns immediately and the file mode decides, with
no errno guesswork. A FIFO that does have a live writer is refused just
the same. Linux open(2) states the flag has no effect on regular files;
the one exception is a write lease, where a non-blocking open fails
EAGAIN instead of waiting out lease-break-time. Leases are granted on
regular files only, so that branch re-checks the type and then opens
without the flag rather than silently dropping a file that used to be
mined.

The rest guard with `exists()`, which is true for a pipe, and then open
anyway. Those become type checks: a discovery walk drops non-regular
entries before any reader sees them, and a fixed-name read decides with
`is_file()` instead. `scan_project` and `scan_convos` already stat every
candidate for the size limit, so the type check costs no extra syscall.
Where the gate replaced an `open` that sat inside a `try`, it goes in
the same `try`: `is_file()` raises `PermissionError` on a directory
without `x`, which that handler already absorbed.

O_NONBLOCK: miner._read_text_no_follow, convo_miner._is_regular_source_file,
normalize._read_transcript_file, repair._open_regular_file_no_follow.

docs(changelog): lead 3.7.0 with agent logstream + tighten notes
Stack the post-3.7.0 hang and silent-skip fixes for a fast patch release:

- Keep MemPalace#2223 (non-regular file hang) and MemPalace#2088 (chunk_total / same-fstat
  mtime / purge abort / closet purge) as the base.
- On multi-batch upsert failure, delete partial drawers and closets for
  that source before re-raising so the next mine retries (MemPalace#2122, MemPalace#2151).
- Install SIGTERM/SIGHUP handlers in mcp_server.main so atexit can release
  the palace writer lease (MemPalace#2205).
- Adapt non-regular-file tests to the (content, mtime) read return type.
…mPalace#2183)

Port project-miner re-mine honesty to conversation ingest so an interrupted
transcript mine cannot permanently skip missing exchanges:

- stamp chunk_total on every convo drawer in the pass
- delete partial drawers for the source/extract_mode on upsert failure
- teach prefetch_mined_set the same completeness rule as file_already_mined
…name

In-place rebuild tests archive the palace directory after _seed_palace.
backend.close() alone left chromadb's path-keyed System holding files open
on Windows (WinError 5), so rebuild_from_sqlite aborted before the mocked
upsert path and test_rebuild_from_sqlite_raises_on_upsert_failure never
raised RebuildPartialError. Clear the shared cache and GC after close.

fix: 3.7.1 critical patch — hang, re-mine honesty, stale Chroma cache
Bump package, plugins, lock, OpenClaw skill, and README badge to 3.7.1.
Fold Unreleased integrity notes into the 3.7.1 changelog: FIFO ingest hang,
project and convo re-mine completeness, chromadb System-cache rewind, and
SIGTERM/SIGHUP lease release.
…-develop-3.7.1

chore: merge main into develop after 3.7.0 promotion
Release v3.7.1 — promote develop to main
Bring the fork onto the official integrity release while retaining the\nlocal SDK and normalized-ingestion work. Close stale Chroma clients\nbefore cache eviction so repeated Hermes reconnects cannot retain a\nloaded HNSW index per peer write.
Keep normalized and subject-routed ingestion compatible with the 3.7.1
re-mine safeguards. Distinguish local Chroma writes from peer changes so
cache refreshes release stale clients without invalidating live handles.
