User feedback on the v2 Memory tab redesign: on a root workspace, the
namespace dropdown showed three indistinguishable entries:
Workspace (30ba7f0b)
Team (30ba7f0b) (team)
Org (30ba7f0b-b303-4a20-aefe-3a4a675b8aa4) (org)
For a root workspace, the resolver collapses workspace==team==org IDs
(resolver.go:113-122 derive() degenerate case). The previous
shortID(8)-truncated UUID label scheme made all three look identical
even though the three concepts (private / team-shared / org-wide)
remain semantically distinct.
## Backend — Resolver returns DisplayName
- SQL chain query now SELECTs workspaces.name (COALESCE → "" on NULL)
- chainNode carries .name through walk
- deriveNames() computes the display name for each namespace,
mirroring derive():
workspace: self.name
team: parent.name (or self.name if root — degenerate)
org: chain[end].name (root of tree)
- Namespace struct gets a new DisplayName field, omitempty wire-shape
## Backend — Handler renders label from DisplayName when present
- memories_v2.go:namespaceLabelWithName(name, kind, displayName) is
the new SSOT label generator. Falls back to the UUID-prefix shape
when displayName is empty so callers without name plumbing keep
working unchanged.
- namespacesToViews now plumbs Namespace.DisplayName into the label.
- Old namespaceLabel(name, kind) is preserved as a thin wrapper
around namespaceLabelWithName(_, _, "") for back-compat.
- Custom namespaces ignore displayName by design — operator-defined
suffixes ARE the chosen label; a name override would surprise.
## Frontend — drop redundant `(kind)` suffix
Pre-fix: "Team (mac laptop) (team)" — kind shown twice.
Post-fix: "Team (mac laptop)" — the prefix already conveys the kind.
## Test coverage
Resolver (3 new tests):
- DisplayName_Root: workspace name propagates to all 3 namespaces
- DisplayName_Child: workspace=self.name, team=parent.name, org=root.name
- DisplayName_EmptyOnNULL: COALESCE → "" → empty fallback
Handler (3 new tests):
- NamespaceLabelWithName_PrefersDisplayName: workspace/team/org/custom paths
- NamespaceLabelWithName_FallsBackToUUIDPrefix: empty displayName → legacy shape
- NamespacesToViews_PassesDisplayNameThrough: full integration on root case
Canvas: existing 30 tests still pass; suffix drop is rendering-only.
memories_v2.go function coverage: **14/14 = 100%**
- namespaceLabelWithName: 100%
- namespacesToViews: 100%
- (all 11 pre-existing functions stay at 100%)
## SSOT
The "what is this namespace called" question now has one source of
truth: namespace.Resolver.ReadableNamespaces sets DisplayName from the
canonical workspace.name column. The handler is a renderer; the
canvas is a consumer. No name-lookup logic duplicated across the
three layers.
