Closes #1755. Gates Phase A3 (drop
agent_memories) per the #1733 sequencing — A3 cannot land until this is in production or workspace creation withinitial_memoriesbreaks.Phase 1 — Investigation
After PR #1747 (Phase A1) lands, the MCP memory tools (
commit_memory,recall_memory) read and write exclusively through the v2 plugin. ButseedInitialMemoriesstill INSERTed directly into the legacyagent_memoriestable at workspace-create time. Result: a workspace provisioned withinitial_memoriesfrom a template had rows inagent_memoriesthat were invisible torecall_memory— every fresh workspace silently had no seeded memory.Flagged in the #1747 hostile review (finding C3) and deliberately deferred to keep that PR small. This PR is that deferral.
Phase 2 — Design
seedInitialMemoriessignature pre-work this PR needs: dropsawarenessNamespaceparam, renames helper toworkspaceMemoryNamespace).seedMemoryPluginAPIinterface onWorkspaceHandler— the slice of*client.Client(memory/client) thatseedInitialMemoriesneeds (CommitMemoryonly). Parallel to MCPHandler'smemoryPluginAPI.WithSeedMemoryPluginsetter —main.gowires this alongsideWithNamespaceCleanupwhenMEMORY_PLUGIN_URLis set (memBundle.Plugin).seedInitialMemoriesconverted from package-level function to method on*WorkspaceHandler.workspace.go:606—Createhandlerorg.go:807— org-template global memoriesorg_import.go:261— per-workspace initial_memoriesMEMORY_PLUGIN_URL): log a loud warning + skip. No SQL fallback — that's consistent with A1's semantics.Phase 3 — Changes

Source / Kind decisions
Source = MemorySourceRuntime— the platform (not the agent) is writing these on the agent's behalf at provision time. Distinct fromagent(commit_memory MCP call) anduser(canvas write).Kind = MemoryKindFact— seeded memories are factual baseline knowledge, not session summaries or runtime checkpoints.Verify before merge if you want a different attribution.
Scope handling change
The v2 plugin's data model has no
scopecolumn. All seeded memories land in the workspace'sworkspace:<id>namespace. Pre-A1 callers wrote TEAM/GLOBAL-scoped seeds intoagent_memorieswithnamespace=workspace:<id>anyway (the scope column was set butnamespacewas alwaysworkspace:<id>), so this is:commit_memory_v2call.Stage A
go vet ./...clean.go test -short -count=1 ./...green across every package.TestSeedInitialMemories_*(10 tests including 2 new):Stage B/C — defer to staging deploy after the gating PRs land.
Sequencing
Gating Phase A3
Phase A3 (drop
agent_memoriestable) requires this PR to land first. After this ships:initial_memories→ plugin.agent_memories→ migrated by the one-shot Phase A2 backfill (cmd/memory-backfill, separate ops task).DROP TABLE agent_memorieswith no live writers.Risks
MEMORY_PLUGIN_URLset lose seed-memory functionality. Acceptable trade-off for SSOT and consistent with A1's posture. The log line is operator-actionable ("set MEMORY_PLUGIN_URL on platform-tenant").workspace:<id>namespace regardless of scope label) — this PR just makes that explicit and drops the never-meaningful scope label.Source=runtimeattribution is new — verify it matches your expectations for canvas-side filtering. Easy to change in a follow-up.Tier

SOP Checklist (RFC #351)
1. Comprehensive testing performed
go vet ./...clean.go test -short -count=1 ./...green across all packages.TestSeedInitialMemories_*(11 tests total, 3 new): all pass.PluginNotWired_LogsAndSkipsandPluginCommitError_ContinuesLoopso operator-visibility regressions are caught.PartialFailure_CounterIsAccuratecovers the mixed success/failure batch case (theseeded N/Msummary log).2. Local-postgres E2E run
N/A: no DB schema change, no new migration. The deleted SQL path (legacy
INSERT INTO agent_memories) is replaced by a plugin HTTP call; remaining DB contracts (inworkspaces, etc.) are unchanged. Existing sqlmock tests in adjacent paths cover the workspace-create row INSERT that runs alongside the seed.3. Staging-smoke verified or pending
Scheduled post-merge — gated on #1742 + #1747 landing first (this PR routes through the v2 plugin which doesn't exist on tenants pre-#1742). Stage C is: provision a workspace with
initial_memories: [...]on agent-team; verifyrecall_memoryreturns the seeded entries; verifyMemoryInspectorPanelshows them under theruntime-source badge.4. Root-cause not symptom
Root cause: post-A1 (
#1747) the MCP memory read path was migrated to v2, but the write path forseedInitialMemorieswas left writing intoagent_memories. The symptom — "fresh workspace with seeded memories returns 'No memories found' on the firstrecall_memorycall" — is downstream of the root cause "writer and reader landed in different stores." This PR moves the writer to match the reader.5. Five-Axis review walked
Yes. Hostile Five-Axis review dispatched, returned APPROVE-with-nits (no critical findings). All non-blocking nits (log-capture assertions, partial-failure test) actioned in commit
26b8539e.6. No backwards-compat shim / dead code added
None inside this PR's delta (the diff is +270/−136). The "skip + log when plugin not wired" branch is a fail-soft for self-hosted operators without
MEMORY_PLUGIN_URL— explicit operator-actionable warning, not silent fallback. There is no SQL fallback.7. Memory/saved-feedback consulted
feedback_no_single_source_of_truth— drives the migration: writer and reader must land on the same store.reference_merge_gate_model_changed_2026_05_18— informs gating expectations.feedback_per_agent_gitea_identity_default— approving agents under their own Gitea persona.Reviewed the diff and targeted tests; no blocking findings.
Approving on CTO-bypass per 2026-05-24 directive. Re-reviewing on current HEAD after the post-review fix push that dismissed prior approvals via dismiss_stale_approvals=true. Findings from the dispatched Five-Axis review + external agent-reviewer review were both addressed; SOP checklist is filled in the body.
