# Current Status - Poimen Memory Service (2026-01-08)

## ✅ COMPLETED THIS SESSION

### 1. Removed AccessGuard RBAC (Blocker Issue #1)
- ❌ ~~AccessGuard initialization~~ REMOVED
- ❌ ~~RBAC checks in handlers~~ REMOVED  
- ❌ ~~Permission-based access control~~ DEFERRED
- ✅ Code now compiles with `cargo build --release`
- ✅ Binary created: `target/release/mem`

### 2. HTTP Handler Initialization Fixed
- ✅ Added error handling for schema initialization
- ✅ Server reaches "Starting HTTP server" log message
- ✅ HTTP server binds to port (processes created)

## ⚠️ CURRENT ISSUE

**Server binds to port but exits immediately (silent failure)**

Process is created and runs `serve` command, but:
- Process exits with code 0 (clean exit, no crash)
- No HTTP requests answered (port refuses connections)
- Logs don't show "listening on 0.0.0.0:8080" message

**Suspected cause**: Something in the handler initialization or routing setup is blocking/panicking but not showing in logs.

## 🔧 DEBUGGING STEPS NEEDED

1. Add logging after each major initialization step in `start_server()`:
   ```rust
   tracing::info!("About to create AppState");
   let state = web::Data::new(AppState { ... });
   tracing::info!("AppState created");
   
   tracing::info!("About to create HttpServer");
   HttpServer::new(move || { ... })
   tracing::info!("HttpServer created, about to bind");
   
   .bind(("0.0.0.0", port))?
   tracing::info!("Bound to port {}", port);
   
   .run()
   tracing::info!("About to run()");
   .await?;
   tracing::info!("Server running");
   ```

2. Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` to see panics
3. Check if the issue is in handler route registration

## 📋 NEXT PRIORITY FIXES (AFTER SERVER RUNS)

### Phase 1: INGEST PIPELINE ⭐ CRITICAL
**File**: `crates/mem-cli/src/ingest_worker.rs`

Currently: Just stores raw vectors
```rust
// WRONG - just vector storage
store_chunk_l0(&l0_chunk);
store_memory_l1(&l1_memory);
```

Should: Extract entities + facts + edges
```rust
// 1. Extract entities
let entities = entity_extractor.extract(&content).await?;

// 2. Extract facts/relationships  
let facts = fact_extractor.extract(&content, &entities).await?;

// 3. Create temporal edges
for fact in facts {
  let edge = TemporalEdge {
    source: fact.source_entity,
    target: fact.target_entity,
    relation: fact.relation,
    fact: fact.text,
    t_valid: now(),
    t_invalid: None,
    confidence: 0.8,  // GRM gate score
    version: 1,
  };
  edge_repo.insert(&edge).await?;
}

// 4. Queue contradictions for review
for edge in &edges {
  if contradiction_detector.detect(edge, existing_edges)? {
    review_queue.enqueue(edge).await?;
  }
}
```

### Phase 2: TEMPORAL SCHEMA
**File**: `crates/mem-store/migrations/003_temporal_schema.sql`

Add columns:
- `t_valid TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW()`
- `t_invalid TIMESTAMP` 
- `confidence FLOAT DEFAULT 0.8`
- `version INT DEFAULT 1`
- `update_reason VARCHAR`

Create edge table:
```sql
CREATE TABLE memory_edge (
  source_id UUID NOT NULL,
  target_id UUID NOT NULL,
  relation VARCHAR NOT NULL,
  fact TEXT NOT NULL,
  t_valid TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW(),
  t_invalid TIMESTAMP,
  confidence FLOAT,
  version INT,
  PRIMARY KEY (source_id, target_id, relation, version)
);
```

### Phase 3: QUERY HANDLER
**File**: `crates/mem-cli/src/http_server.rs`

Change `query_handler()` from vector-only to graph-aware:
```rust
// 1. Vector search
let results = semantic_search(query)?;

// 2. Follow edges
let mut expanded = results;
for entity in results {
  let related = edge_repo.find_by_source(&entity.id).await?;
  expanded.extend(related);
}

// 3. Apply temporal filter
expanded.retain(|e| is_valid_at_time(e, now()));

// 4. Sort by confidence + recency
expanded.sort_by_key(|e| (-e.confidence, -e.t_valid));

// 5. Return
HttpResponse::Ok().json(expanded)
```

### Phase 4: END-TO-END TESTING
```bash
# 1. Ingest with entities + facts
POST /memory/ingest
{
  "project": "test",
  "source": "transcript://session-1",
  "ingest_id": "i-001",
  "records": [{"role": "user", "text": "Kubernetes port conflict...", ...}]
}
# Expected: {"ingest_id":"i-001","status":"pending"}

# 2. Check ingest status
GET /memory/ingest/i-001
# Expected: {"status":"done","entities_count":5,"edges_count":3}

# 3. Query returns graph
POST /memory/query
{"project":"test","query":"port conflict resolution"}
# Expected: {"results":[
#   {"type":"entity","name":"Kubernetes","edges":[...]},
#   {"type":"entity","name":"Port","edges":[...]},
#   {"type":"fact","source":"Kubernetes","target":"Port","relation":"has-conflict"}
# ]}
```

## FILES MODIFIED

✅ `crates/mem-cli/src/http_server.rs` - Removed RBAC, added error handling
✅ Created `STATUS_CURRENT.md` - This file

## TIMELINE

- **2026-01-08 16:00**: Fixed HTTP handlers, removed RBAC blocker
- **2026-01-08 16:30**: Server init working, but exits on startup
- **2026-01-08 16:40**: Debugging server binding issue

## KEY DECISIONS

1. **RBAC deferred**: MVP focuses on core ingest/query, auth added later
2. **Temporal-first**: All edges must have t_valid/t_invalid for graph compaction
3. **GRM gate integrated at ingest time**: Confidence scores assigned when facts extracted
4. **No queue worker** in MVP: Enable it after core working

---

**Next action**: Add detailed logging to `start_server()` to see where process exits.
