+# Memory Plugin Contract — Changelog
+
+Every breaking or operationally-relevant change to the v1 plugin
+contract or the workspace-server-side wiring lands here. Plugin
+authors should subscribe to PRs touching this file.
+
+## [Unreleased] — fixup wave 1 (post-RFC-#2728 self-review)
+
+A self-review of the initial 11-PR rollout (PRs #2729-#2742) flagged
+two correctness bugs and three operational hazards. This wave fixes
+all of them. Order matches operator-impact severity.
+
+### Critical: backfill idempotency via `MemoryWrite.id` (#2744)
+
+**The bug.** The backfill CLI claimed idempotent on re-run, but
+`gen_random_uuid()` in the plugin's INSERT meant every retry created
+a fresh row. Operators retrying a failed `-apply` would silently
+double their memory count.
+
+**The fix.** Optional `id` field on `MemoryWrite`. When supplied,
+plugins MUST upsert. The backfill now forwards `agent_memories.id`
+to `MemoryWrite.id`, so retries update in place.
+
+**Plugin author action.** If your plugin uses
+`INSERT INTO ... DEFAULT gen_random_uuid()`, switch to
+`INSERT ... ON CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE` when `id` is set. The wire
+contract is forward-compatible — plugins that ignore the field still
+work for production agent commits (which leave `id` empty), but they
+will silently corrupt backfill retries.
+
+### Critical: `memory-backfill -verify` mode (#2747)
+
+**The miss.** The original PR-7 task spec called for a parity-check
+mode but it never landed. Operators had no way to confirm a
+migration succeeded short of "no errors logged."
+
+**The fix.** New `-verify` flag samples N workspaces, queries
+`agent_memories` direct, runs an equivalent plugin search via the
+namespace resolver, multiset-compares contents. Reports mismatches
+to stdout and exits non-zero so CI can gate the cutover.
+
+```bash
+memory-backfill -verify                        # default sample 50
+memory-backfill -verify -verify-sample=200     # bigger
+memory-backfill -verify -workspace=<uuid>      # one workspace
+```
+
+### Important: `expires_at` validation (#2746)
+
+**The bug.** `commit_memory_v2` silently dropped malformed
+`expires_at` strings. Agent passes `expires_at: "tomorrow"`, gets a
+200, memory has no TTL — agent thinks it set a TTL, didn't.
+
+**The fix.** Returns
+`fmt.Errorf("invalid expires_at: must be RFC3339")` on parse
+failure. Plugin is not called in this case.
+
+**Plugin author action.** None — this is a workspace-server-side
+fix. But: if your plugin advertises the `ttl` capability, make sure
+you actually evict expired rows on read (not just on a janitor cron
+that runs once a day). The harness in `testing-your-plugin.md` has
+a TTL-eviction test you should run.
+
+### Important: audit log JSON via `json.Marshal` (#2746)
+
+**The bug.** `auditOrgWrite` built `activity_logs.metadata` via
+`fmt.Sprintf` with `%q`. For ASCII (today's UUID + hex digest) this
+coincidentally produces valid JSON; for unicode or control bytes it
+silently produces non-JSON.
+
+**The fix.** Replaced with `json.Marshal(map[string]string{...})`.
+Same wire shape today, won't regress when metadata grows.
+
+**Plugin author action.** None — workspace-server-internal.
+
+### Operator action: staging verification (#292)
+
+**Status.** Tracked as task #292. PR-merged ≠ verified. Operator
+must:
+1. Provision a staging tenant, set `MEMORY_PLUGIN_URL`
+2. Run real `commit_memory_v2` from a workspace
+3. `memory-backfill -dry-run` against staging data
+4. `memory-backfill -apply`, then `-verify`
+5. Set `MEMORY_V2_CUTOVER=true`, verify admin export still works
+6. Run a legacy `commit_memory` from a workspace, verify it lands
+   in plugin storage via the PR-6 shim
+
+### Other follow-ups still open
+
+- **#289**: admin export O(workspaces) → O(namespaces) — N+1 pattern
+  in `exportViaPlugin` (1000-workspace tenants run 1000× resolver
+  CTEs + 1000× plugin searches today).
+- **#291**: workspace deletion must call `DELETE
+  /v1/namespaces/{name}` — orphans accumulate today.
+- **#293**: real-subprocess boot E2E — current PR-11 is integration
+  (httptest + sqlmock), not E2E.
+
+These are tracked but deferred; they're operationally annoying, not
+incident-shaped.
+
+## [v1.0.0] — initial release (RFC #2728, PRs #2729-#2742)

+# Writing a Memory Plugin
+
+This document is for operators and ecosystem authors who want to
+replace the built-in postgres-backed memory plugin (the default
+implementation that ships with workspace-server) with their own.
+
+The contract was introduced by RFC #2728. The shipped binary is
+`cmd/memory-plugin-postgres/`; reading its source is the fastest way
+to see a complete reference implementation.
+
+## What the contract is
+
+The plugin is an HTTP server that workspace-server talks to via the
+OpenAPI v1 spec at [`docs/api-protocol/memory-plugin-v1.yaml`](../api-protocol/memory-plugin-v1.yaml).
+
+Six endpoints:
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `/v1/health` | GET | Liveness probe + capability list |
+| `/v1/namespaces/{name}` | PUT | Idempotent upsert |
+| `/v1/namespaces/{name}` | PATCH | Update TTL or metadata |
+| `/v1/namespaces/{name}` | DELETE | Remove namespace and its memories |
+| `/v1/namespaces/{name}/memories` | POST | Write a memory |
+| `/v1/search` | POST | Multi-namespace search |
+| `/v1/memories/{id}` | DELETE | Forget a memory |
+
+The wire types are defined in
+`workspace-server/internal/memory/contract/contract.go`. Run-time
+validation is built into the Go bindings via `Validate()` methods —
+your plugin SHOULD perform equivalent validation.
+
+## What workspace-server takes care of
+
+You do **not** implement these in the plugin; workspace-server is the
+security perimeter:
+
+- **Secret redaction** (SAFE-T1201). All `content` you receive is
+  already scrubbed. Don't run additional redaction; it's pointless.
+- **Namespace ACL**. workspace-server intersects the caller's
+  readable namespaces against the requested list before sending you
+  the search request. The list you receive is authoritative.
+- **GLOBAL audit**. Org-namespace writes are recorded in
+  `activity_logs` server-side; you don't see them.
+- **Prompt-injection wrap**. Org memories returned to agents get a
+  `[MEMORY id=... scope=ORG ns=...]:` prefix added at the
+  workspace-server layer. Your `content` field is plain text.
+
+## What you implement
+
+- Storage of `memory_namespaces` and `memory_records` (or whatever
+  shape you want — Pinecone vectors, an in-memory map, etc.)
+- The 7 endpoints above with the request/response shapes the spec
+  defines
+- `/v1/health` reporting your supported capabilities (see below)
+- Idempotency on namespace upsert (PUT semantics, not POST)
+- Idempotency on memory commit when `MemoryWrite.id` is supplied
+  (see "Memory idempotency" below)
+
+## Memory idempotency
+
+`MemoryWrite.id` is optional. Two contracts to honor:
+
+| Caller passes | Plugin MUST |
+|---|---|
+| `id` omitted | Generate a fresh UUID, return it in the response |
+| `id` set | Upsert keyed on this id — if a row with that id already exists, UPDATE it in place rather than inserting a duplicate |
+
+The backfill CLI (`memory-backfill`) relies on the upsert behavior
+so retries don't duplicate rows. Production agent commits leave `id`
+empty and rely on the plugin's UUID generator — the hot path is
+unchanged.
+
+The built-in postgres plugin implements this with `INSERT ... ON
+CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE`. A vector-DB plugin (e.g., Pinecone) would
+use the database's native upsert primitive on the same id.
+
+## Capability negotiation
+
+Your `/v1/health` response declares what features you support:
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "ok",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "capabilities": ["embedding", "fts", "ttl", "pin", "propagation"]
+}
+```
+
+| Capability | What it gates |
+|---|---|
+| `embedding` | Agents may ask for semantic search; you receive `embedding: [...]` in search bodies |
+| `fts` | Agents may pass a query string; you decide how to match (FTS, ILIKE, regex) |
+| `ttl` | Agents may set `expires_at`; you must not return expired rows |
+| `pin` | Agents may set `pin: true`; you should rank pinned rows first |
+| `propagation` | Agents may set `propagation: {...}`; you must store it as opaque JSON and return it on read |
+
+A capability you DON'T list is fine — workspace-server adapts the MCP
+tool surface to match. E.g., a Pinecone-only plugin that lists only
+`embedding` will silently ignore agents' `query` strings.
+
+## Deployment models
+
+Three common shapes:
+
+1. **Same machine, different process**: workspace-server boots, then
+   `MEMORY_PLUGIN_URL=http://localhost:9100` points at your plugin
+   running on a unix socket or localhost port. This is what the
+   built-in postgres plugin does.
+
+2. **Separate container**: deploy your plugin as its own service on
+   the private network. Set `MEMORY_PLUGIN_URL` to its DNS name.
+
+3. **Self-managed**: customer-owned plugin running on customer-owned
+   infrastructure, accessed over a tunnel. Same env-var wiring.
+
+Auth is **none** — the plugin must be reachable only on a private
+network. workspace-server is the only sanctioned client.
+
+## Replacing the built-in plugin
+
+This is the canonical operator runbook for swapping the default
+plugin out. The same sequence applies whether you're swapping for
+another postgres plugin variant, Pinecone, Letta, or a custom
+implementation.
+
+1. **Stand up the new plugin.** Deploy the binary/container, confirm
+   it boots, confirm `/v1/health` returns `ok` with the capability
+   list you expect.
+
+2. **Run the backfill in dry-run mode** to scope the migration:
+   ```bash
+   DATABASE_URL=postgres://... \
+   MEMORY_PLUGIN_URL=http://your-plugin:9100 \
+   memory-backfill -dry-run
+   ```
+   Reports row count + namespace mapping per workspace, no writes.
+
+3. **Apply the backfill:**
+   ```bash
+   memory-backfill -apply
+   ```
+   Idempotent on retry — the backfill passes each `agent_memories.id`
+   to `MemoryWrite.id`, so partial-then-full re-runs upsert in place.
+
+4. **Verify parity** before flipping the cutover flag:
+   ```bash
+   memory-backfill -verify -verify-sample=200
+   ```
+   Random-samples N workspaces, diffs `agent_memories` direct query
+   against plugin search via the workspace's readable namespaces.
+   Reports mismatches and exits non-zero if any are found — wire
+   into your CI to gate the cutover.
+
+5. **Flip the cutover flag.** Set `MEMORY_V2_CUTOVER=true` on
+   workspace-server and restart. Admin export/import now route
+   through the plugin; legacy `agent_memories` becomes read-only.
+
+6. **Existing data in the old plugin's tables is NOT auto-dropped.**
+   Deliberate safety property — operator drops manually after the
+   ~60-day grace window. If you switch back later, old data comes
+   back into use (no loss).
+
+If `-verify` reports mismatches, do NOT set `MEMORY_V2_CUTOVER` —
+inspect the output, re-run `-apply` to backfill missing rows (it
+upserts, so this is safe), and re-verify.

+# Pinecone-backed Memory Plugin (worked example)
+
+A working sketch of a memory plugin that delegates storage to
+[Pinecone](https://www.pinecone.io/) instead of postgres.
+
+This is **example code, not a production binary**. It demonstrates
+how to map the v1 contract onto a vector database. Operators who
+want to ship this would harden auth, add retries, batch the
+commit path, etc.
+
+## Why Pinecone is interesting
+
+The default postgres plugin's pgvector index works for ~10M memories
+on a single node. Beyond that, semantic search becomes painful. A
+managed vector database can handle 1B+ memories, but the trade-offs
+are different:
+
+- **Capabilities**: Pinecone is great at `embedding` (its core
+  feature) but has no first-class FTS. So the plugin reports
+  `["embedding"]` and ignores the `query` field.
+- **TTL**: Pinecone supports per-vector metadata with deletion via
+  metadata filter — TTL becomes a periodic janitor task, not a
+  per-row property.
+- **Cost**: per-vector billing, so the plugin should batch writes
+  and dedup before posting.
+
+## Wire mapping
+
+| Contract field | Pinecone shape |
+|---|---|
+| `namespace` | `namespace` (Pinecone's first-class concept) |
+| `id` (caller-supplied) | `id` (Pinecone vector id; plugin upserts on this) |
+| `id` (omitted) | Plugin generates `uuid.NewString()` before upsert |
+| `content` | metadata.text |
+| `embedding` | `values` |
+| `kind` / `source` / `pin` / `expires_at` | `metadata.{kind, source, pin, expires_at}` |
+| `propagation` (opaque JSON) | `metadata.propagation` (also opaque) |
+
+The contract's `expires_at` becomes a metadata field; a separate
+janitor cron periodically queries `expires_at < now` and deletes.
+
+Pinecone's native upsert is the right fit for the idempotency-key
+contract: passing the same `id` twice updates in place. So a
+Pinecone plugin gets idempotent backfill retries "for free" if it
+just forwards `MemoryWrite.id` (or its generated UUID) to the
+upsert call.
+
+## Skeleton
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "context"
+    "encoding/json"
+    "log"
+    "net/http"
+    "os"
+
+    "github.com/pinecone-io/go-pinecone/pinecone"
+)
+
+type pineconePlugin struct {
+    client *pinecone.Client
+    index  string
+}
+
+func main() {
+    apiKey := os.Getenv("PINECONE_API_KEY")
+    if apiKey == "" {
+        log.Fatal("PINECONE_API_KEY required")
+    }
+    client, err := pinecone.NewClient(pinecone.NewClientParams{ApiKey: apiKey})
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+    p := &pineconePlugin{client: client, index: os.Getenv("PINECONE_INDEX")}
+
+    http.HandleFunc("/v1/health", p.health)
+    http.HandleFunc("/v1/search", p.search)
+    // ... rest of the routes ...
+
+    log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":9100", nil))
+}
+
+func (p *pineconePlugin) health(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
+    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(map[string]interface{}{
+        "status":       "ok",
+        "version":      "1.0.0",
+        "capabilities": []string{"embedding"}, // no FTS, no TTL out-of-box
+    })
+}
+
+func (p *pineconePlugin) search(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    // Parse contract.SearchRequest
+    // Build Pinecone QueryByVectorValuesRequest with body.Embedding
+    // For each Pinecone namespace in body.Namespaces, call Query
+    // Map results to contract.Memory
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+## What's missing from this sketch
+
+A production-ready Pinecone plugin would add:
+
+- **Batch commits**: bulk upsert N memories in a single Pinecone call
+- **TTL janitor**: periodic deletion of expired vectors
+- **Connection pooling**: keep one Pinecone client alive across requests
+- **Retry + circuit breaker**: Pinecone occasionally returns 5xx
+- **Metrics**: latency histograms per endpoint, write/read counters
+- **Idempotency-key handling**: when `MemoryWrite.id` is supplied,
+  forward it as the Pinecone vector id verbatim; otherwise generate
+  one. Pinecone's `Upsert` is naturally idempotent on id match.
+
+But the mapping above is the load-bearing part — the rest is
+operational hardening, not contract-specific.

+# Testing Your Memory Plugin
+
+Once you have a plugin implementing the v1 contract, you can validate
+it against the spec without booting workspace-server.
+
+## The contract test harness
+
+Workspace-server ships typed Go bindings + round-trip tests in
+`workspace-server/internal/memory/contract/`. The simplest way to
+gain confidence in your plugin's wire compatibility is to point those
+tests at it.
+
+A minimal contract suite:
+
+```go
+package myplugin_test
+
+import (
+    "context"
+    "testing"
+
+    mclient "github.com/Molecule-AI/molecule-monorepo/platform/internal/memory/client"
+    "github.com/Molecule-AI/molecule-monorepo/platform/internal/memory/contract"
+)
+
+func TestMyPlugin_FullRoundTrip(t *testing.T) {
+    // Start your plugin somehow (subprocess, in-process, etc.)
+    pluginURL := startMyPlugin(t)
+    cl := mclient.New(mclient.Config{BaseURL: pluginURL})
+
+    // 1. Health
+    hr, err := cl.Boot(context.Background())
+    if err != nil {
+        t.Fatalf("Boot: %v", err)
+    }
+    if hr.Status != "ok" {
+        t.Errorf("status = %q", hr.Status)
+    }
+
+    // 2. Namespace upsert
+    if _, err := cl.UpsertNamespace(context.Background(), "workspace:test-1",
+        contract.NamespaceUpsert{Kind: contract.NamespaceKindWorkspace}); err != nil {
+        t.Fatalf("UpsertNamespace: %v", err)
+    }
+
+    // 3. Commit memory
+    resp, err := cl.CommitMemory(context.Background(), "workspace:test-1",
+        contract.MemoryWrite{
+            Content: "hello",
+            Kind:    contract.MemoryKindFact,
+            Source:  contract.MemorySourceAgent,
+        })
+    if err != nil {
+        t.Fatalf("CommitMemory: %v", err)
+    }
+    if resp.ID == "" {
+        t.Errorf("plugin must return a non-empty memory id")
+    }
+
+    // 4. Search
+    sresp, err := cl.Search(context.Background(), contract.SearchRequest{
+        Namespaces: []string{"workspace:test-1"},
+        Query:      "hello",
+    })
+    if err != nil {
+        t.Fatalf("Search: %v", err)
+    }
+    if len(sresp.Memories) == 0 {
+        t.Errorf("plugin returned no memories for the query we just wrote")
+    }
+
+    // 5. Forget
+    if err := cl.ForgetMemory(context.Background(), resp.ID,
+        contract.ForgetRequest{RequestedByNamespace: "workspace:test-1"}); err != nil {
+        t.Errorf("ForgetMemory: %v", err)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing idempotency
+
+The contract requires that `MemoryWrite.id`, when supplied, behaves
+as an upsert key. The backfill CLI relies on this — without it,
+operator retries silently duplicate every memory.
+
+```go
+func TestMyPlugin_IDIsIdempotencyKey(t *testing.T) {
+    pluginURL := startMyPlugin(t)
+    cl := mclient.New(mclient.Config{BaseURL: pluginURL})
+    if _, err := cl.UpsertNamespace(context.Background(), "workspace:test-1",
+        contract.NamespaceUpsert{Kind: contract.NamespaceKindWorkspace}); err != nil {
+        t.Fatal(err)
+    }
+
+    fixedID := "11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555"
+
+    // First write with a specific id.
+    resp1, err := cl.CommitMemory(context.Background(), "workspace:test-1",
+        contract.MemoryWrite{
+            ID:      fixedID,
+            Content: "first version",
+            Kind:    contract.MemoryKindFact,
+            Source:  contract.MemorySourceAgent,
+        })
+    if err != nil {
+        t.Fatalf("first commit: %v", err)
+    }
+    if resp1.ID != fixedID {
+        t.Errorf("plugin must echo the supplied id, got %q", resp1.ID)
+    }
+
+    // Second write with the same id — must update, not insert.
+    if _, err := cl.CommitMemory(context.Background(), "workspace:test-1",
+        contract.MemoryWrite{
+            ID:      fixedID,
+            Content: "second version (updated)",
+            Kind:    contract.MemoryKindFact,
+            Source:  contract.MemorySourceAgent,
+        }); err != nil {
+        t.Fatalf("second commit: %v", err)
+    }
+
+    // Search must return exactly one row, with the updated content.
+    sresp, _ := cl.Search(context.Background(), contract.SearchRequest{
+        Namespaces: []string{"workspace:test-1"},
+    })
+    matches := 0
+    for _, m := range sresp.Memories {
+        if m.ID == fixedID {
+            matches++
+            if m.Content != "second version (updated)" {
+                t.Errorf("upsert didn't update content: got %q", m.Content)
+            }
+        }
+    }
+    if matches != 1 {
+        t.Errorf("upsert produced %d rows for id=%s, want 1", matches, fixedID)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## What the harness does NOT cover
+
+- **Capability accuracy**: if you list `embedding` you must actually
+  do semantic search. The harness can't tell you whether ranking is
+  meaningful — only that you don't crash.
+- **TTL eviction**: write a memory with `expires_at` 1 second in the
+  future, sleep 2 seconds, search — assert the memory is gone.
+- **Concurrency**: hit your plugin with 100 parallel writes; assert
+  no IDs collide.
+- **Recovery**: kill your plugin's storage backend, send a request,
+  assert your plugin returns 503 (not 200 with stale data).
+- **Backfill compatibility**: run the operator backfill against your
+  plugin twice in a row (`memory-backfill -apply`); assert the row
+  count doesn't double. The idempotency test above verifies the unit
+  contract; this checks the operational integration.
+- **Verify-mode parity**: after a backfill, run `memory-backfill
+  -verify`; assert it reports zero mismatches against
+  `agent_memories`.
+
+## Smoke test against workspace-server
+
+Once unit-level wire tests pass, run a real workspace-server with your
+plugin URL:
+
+```bash
+DATABASE_URL=postgres://... \
+MEMORY_PLUGIN_URL=http://localhost:9100 \
+./workspace-server
+```
+
+Then ask an agent to call `commit_memory_v2` and `search_memory`. If
+both round-trip cleanly, you're done.
+
+For the full E2E flow (including the namespace resolver, MCP layer,
+and security perimeter), see [PR-11's plugin-swap test](../../workspace-server/test/e2e/memory_plugin_swap_test.go).
+
+## Reporting bugs
+
+If you find a contract ambiguity or missing edge case, file an issue
+against `Molecule-AI/molecule-core` referencing RFC #2728.

+// memory-backfill is a one-shot CLI that copies rows from the legacy
+// agent_memories table into the v2 plugin via its HTTP API.
+//
+// Idempotent on re-run: the backfill passes each source row's UUID
+// to the plugin's MemoryWrite.ID field, and the plugin upserts on
+// conflict. Re-running the backfill (whole or partial) updates rows
+// in place rather than duplicating.
+//
+// Usage:
+//   memory-backfill -dry-run                    # count + diff
+//   memory-backfill -apply                      # actually copy
+//   memory-backfill -apply -limit=10000         # cap rows per run
+//   memory-backfill -apply -workspace=<uuid>    # one workspace only
+//
+// Required env:
+//   DATABASE_URL                — workspace-server DB (read agent_memories)
+//   MEMORY_PLUGIN_URL           — target plugin (write memory_records)

+# Real-subprocess E2E for memory-plugin-postgres
+
+The default `go test ./...` suite covers the plugin via in-process
+sqlmock tests (PR-3). This directory ALSO ships build-tag-gated tests
+that spawn the real binary against a live postgres — to catch
+classes of bug in-process tests can't see:
+
+- Boot-path regressions (env var typos, panic-on-startup)
+- Wire-format bugs sqlmock smooths over (the `pq.Array` issue we
+  hit during PR-3 development)
+- HTTP/socket encoding edge cases
+- C1 idempotency (real upsert against real postgres)
+
+## Running
+
+The tests skip silently unless an operator opts in with both:
+- The `memory_plugin_e2e` build tag
+- `MEMORY_PLUGIN_E2E_DB` env var pointing at a writable postgres
+
+### Quick local run (with docker)
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -d --name memory-plugin-e2e-pg \
+  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=test -e POSTGRES_USER=test -e POSTGRES_DB=test \
+  -p 5432:5432 \
+  pgvector/pgvector:pg16
+
+# Wait a few seconds for postgres to accept connections
+until docker exec memory-plugin-e2e-pg pg_isready -U test >/dev/null 2>&1; do sleep 0.5; done
+
+MEMORY_PLUGIN_E2E_DB=postgres://test:test@localhost:5432/test?sslmode=disable \
+  go test -tags memory_plugin_e2e -v -count=1 ./cmd/memory-plugin-postgres/
+
+docker stop memory-plugin-e2e-pg
+```
+
+### CI integration
+
+These tests are NOT in the default required-checks set. Operators
+gating cutover on the suite should add a separate workflow step:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Memory plugin E2E
+  if: ${{ contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'memory-v2') }}
+  run: |
+    MEMORY_PLUGIN_E2E_DB=${{ secrets.MEMORY_PLUGIN_TEST_DSN }} \
+      go test -tags memory_plugin_e2e -v -count=1 ./cmd/memory-plugin-postgres/
+```
+
+## What each test pins
+
+| Test | Covers |
+|---|---|
+| `TestE2E_BootAndHealth` | Binary builds, starts, advertises all 5 capabilities |
+| `TestE2E_FullCommitSearchForgetRoundTrip` | Real wire encoding (no sqlmock), full agent flow |
+| `TestE2E_IdempotencyKey` | C1 fix end-to-end — upserts against real postgres |
+
+## What's still NOT covered
+
+- Migration drift (assumes the migrations dir is at the conventional
+  path; operator-customized layouts need their own test)
+- Plugin-internal recovery (kill backing store mid-request, etc.)
+- Concurrent commits with id collisions across processes
+- TTL eviction (would need to extend test runtime past `expires_at`)
+
+These gaps apply equally to forks of this binary; they're listed in
+[`testing-your-plugin.md`](../../../docs/memory-plugins/testing-your-plugin.md)
+under "what the harness does NOT cover".

+//   commit_memory_v2 / search_memory / commit_summary
+//   list_writable_namespaces / list_readable_namespaces / forget_memory
+//

+// security perimeter for the plugin):
+//   - SAFE-T1201 redaction runs BEFORE every plugin write
+//   - Namespace ACL re-derived from the live tree on every write +
+//     read; client-supplied namespaces are always intersected
+//   - org:* writes are audited to activity_logs (SHA256, not plaintext)
+//   - org:* memories are delimiter-wrapped on read output (prompt-
+//     injection mitigation; matches memories.go:455-461 today)
