Summary

  • group Chroma chunk rows into one logical Apricity memory
  • use parent IDs for notification dismissal, viewing, editing, search, and deletion
  • add regression coverage for ordering, previews, lazy reads, updates, and deletes

Validation

  • python3 -m py_compile mempalace_dashboard/server.py
  • python3 -m unittest tests.test_chunk_identity tests.test_security -v
  • read-only live palace verification: 12,328 logical drawers, zero exposed chunk IDs
  • active service health check
  • git diff --check

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of large drawers stored in multiple chunks.
    • Chunked content now appears as one logical drawer with the correct ordering and complete content when needed.
    • Searches, updates, and deletions now consistently apply to the entire drawer rather than individual chunks.
    • Improved lazy loading and single-drawer retrieval for chunked content.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for chunk aggregation, ordering, reads, searches, updates, and deletions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The dashboard now groups physical Chroma chunks into logical drawers. Reads reconstruct ordered content, filtered reads expand to all matching chunks, and single-drawer reads return the complete representation. Tests cover reads, updates, and deletions.

Changes

Logical drawer identity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Chunk parsing and assembly
mempalace_dashboard/server.py
Chunk IDs are parsed and grouped by parent drawer ID. Content is ordered and concatenated. Light-mode truncation and full-mode ETag generation are applied.
Logical drawer read paths
mempalace_dashboard/server.py
Filtered reads expand chunk matches to all chunks for each logical drawer. Single-drawer reads retrieve and assemble the complete logical representation.
Chunk identity behavior tests

SQLite-backed tests verify ordering, aggregation, metadata, lazy reads, full reads, and update/delete scoping.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 46564

Chunked memories can still be shown incompletely, and large collections may choose the wrong read mode because physical chunks are counted instead of logical memories. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve truncation state from physical chunks.

Each physical item is already truncated at lines 974-976. For a logical drawer with one chunk longer than PALACE_PREVIEW_CHARS, line 845 sees only the shortened body and sets truncated to False. The client can then skip the lazy full read and show incomplete content.

Include the existing member truncation flags when computing the logical flag. Add a one-chunk regression case.

Proposed fix
         item["drawer_id"] = parent_id
         item["content"] = "".join(member[2].get("content", "") for member in members)
         if light:
-            item["truncated"] = len(item["content"]) > PALACE_PREVIEW_CHARS
+            item["truncated"] = (
+                any(member[2].get("truncated", False) for member in members)
+                or len(item["content"]) > PALACE_PREVIEW_CHARS
+            )
             item["content"] = item["content"][:PALACE_PREVIEW_CHARS]

Count logical drawers before selecting payload mode.

count_drawers() still uses count(*) on physical Chroma rows at line 866. Its result decides light versus full reads. Chunked drawers can therefore force light mode before the logical drawer count reaches the threshold.

Make count_drawers() count distinct logical drawer IDs. Add a threshold test with multiple chunks for one drawer.

Cover the one-chunk preview case.

This test uses two chunks. It does not detect a chunk-formatted drawer with one physical chunk longer than PALACE_PREVIEW_CHARS, where the grouped result currently clears truncated.

Add a fixture row such as drawer_story_chunk_000000 with content longer than eight characters. Assert that read_drawers(light=True) returns truncated=True.
