Part of #1733 — Phase A0 (per the revised plan).
Phase 1 — Investigation
Reading the tenant boot path showed me that A0 is much smaller than originally scoped in the RFC:
workspace-server/Dockerfile.tenantalready builds both/platformand/memory-pluginbinaries (lines 64-75).entrypoint-tenant.sh(since 2026-05-14, lines 35-66) already auto-starts the plugin sidecar whenMEMORY_V2_CUTOVER=true, with a 30s health gate that aborts boot on failure.molecule-controlplane/internal/provisioner/ec2.go:2232-2233setsMEMORY_V2_CUTOVER='true'andMEMORY_PLUGIN_URL='http://localhost:9100'on every tenant since 2026-05-05.pgvector/pgvector:pg16(CPec2.go), so the extension is available.The only remaining A0 gap vs CTO's "same Postgres, separate schema" decision is search_path isolation — without it, plugin tables co-mingle with platform-tenant tables in
public.Phase 2 — Design
One bootstrap migration + one entrypoint URL-mutation. No changes to the existing
001_memory_v2migration or to CP user-data.Migration filenames sort alphabetically (per
cmd/memory-plugin-postgres/main.go:runMigrationsFromEmbed → sort.Strings), so000_schema_bootstrapruns before001_memory_v2. The bootstrap creates the schema;search_path=memory_plugininjected via the database URL directs every subsequent CREATE TABLE / query into it.When the operator explicitly sets
MEMORY_PLUGIN_DATABASE_URL(separate DB entirely), the entrypoint leaves the URL untouched — they retain full control.Phase 3 — Changes

The CTO rollout plan is: agent-team's own tenant first (force-recycle), then production tenants pick up the change on natural restart cycles.
Stage C — real-task runtime smoke: an agent on the recycled tenant commits a memory; verify the row lands in
memory_plugin.memory_recordsand is reachable via the v2 search endpoint. This validates Phase A1 too (the workspace-server-side v1-fallback removal lands after this PR).What this PR does NOT do (intentionally deferred)
mcp_tools_memory_legacy_shim.go— that's Phase A1, a separate core PR.agent_memories→ plugin — that's Phase A2, a per-tenant ops task. No production tenant has v2 rows yet (every tenant has been silently in v1-fallback since 2026-05-05), so there's nothing to backfill on the v2 side.CREATE EXTENSION vector(in001_memory_v2) lands in the first writable search_path schema (nowmemory_plugin), so dropping the schema cascade-drops the extension. Flagged in000_schema_bootstrap.down.sql; acceptable for a defensive operator action.Risks
public.memory_namespaces/public.memory_recordson any tenant that did successfully wire v2: this PR's search_path makes the plugin look inmemory_pluginonly, so old rows inpublicbecome invisible. My investigation shows no tenant has these rows in practice (every workspace-server has been silent-falling-back to v1 SQL onagent_memories), but the agent-team rollout is the live verification. If we find a tenant withpublic.memory_*populated, file a one-shot SQL migration as part of A2.Tier

Staging-smoke verified or pending
Pending — gated on this PR landing and tenants recycling onto the new image. agent-team tenant first per CTO 2026-05-23 rollout decision; smoke is "agent commits memory, panel shows it in
memory_plugin.memory_records."4. Root-cause not symptom
Root cause: the v2 plugin's
001_memory_v2.up.sqlwas written assumingCREATE EXTENSION vectorwould land in whatever schema the connection's search_path pointed at. That assumption breaks on every tenant where pgvector was previously installed intopublic—CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTSno-ops, andvector(1536)type references then fail to resolve under a single-schema search_path. The symptom — "boot dies inside the 30s health gate on tenants with pre-existing pgvector" — is downstream. Adding,publicto the search_path fixes the resolution path for both fresh and pre-existing tenants without forcing a schema move.5. Five-Axis review walked
Yes. Hostile Five-Axis review dispatched, found the production-blocker pgvector resolution issue, fixed in commit
e03b3fb2(the per-file embed test in the same commit). Re-review verified the fix via static + mutation tests against the new commit.6. No backwards-compat shim / dead code added
None. Adds 1 schema-bootstrap migration, modifies the entrypoint search_path injection in one place, tightens one test invariant. Down migration drops the schema (operator-only, never auto-applied).
7. Memory/saved-feedback consulted
feedback_no_single_source_of_truth— drives the schema isolation: plugin tables don't co-mingle with platform-tenant tables.reference_infisical_ssot— pattern check: this PR doesn't touch secret management, just schema scoping.reference_merge_gate_model_changed_2026_05_18— post-fix push dismisses prior approvals; needs re-approval.memory_pluginschema5-axis review on
354bb5a:Correctness: APPROVED. The PR adds a bootstrap migration that creates the memory_plugin schema before the v2 table migrations and defaults the sidecar DB URL to use search_path=memory_plugin when sharing tenant Postgres, matching the #1733 A0 isolation goal.
Robustness: CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS is idempotent, migration ordering is covered by the existing alphabetic ordering contract, and explicit MEMORY_PLUGIN_DATABASE_URL remains operator-controlled.
Security: No new secrets or auth paths; the change reduces accidental table-surface overlap between platform and plugin data.
Performance: One idempotent schema DDL at migration time and no runtime hot-path overhead.
Readability: Comments explain the defaulting behavior and migration purpose clearly. CI is still pending, but I found no code-level blocker in this focused diff.
Peer 2nd-review per CTO carve-out. 5-axis lens clean; deferring to Code Reviewer (2) review_id=5797. BP unblock for merge.
