Tom Boucher ed79902509 feat(#2007): implement mempalace memory_mode kg_backend and replace routing (#2010)
Wire the two forward-declared mempalace.memory_mode modes so they actually
route recall/capture instead of silently behaving as `augment`:

- kg_backend: the palace temporal KG is the primary knowledge-graph source;
  native .planning/graphs/ is the fallback. Non-KG drawer recall stays additive.
- replace: recall resolves through the palace as the source of truth; native
  artifacts are the fallback.

Every mode stays onError:skip and default-resilient — an unreachable palace
degrades to native memory and GSD keeps writing .planning/graphs/, so no memory
is lost. Cross-mode .planning/graphs/ migration remains a documented open
question (PRD/ADR §17), out of scope here.

Surfaces updated (instruction-only contract): recall/capture commands (+ generated
skills), discuss/wave fragments, curator agent, capability.json schema. Docs:
how-to Step 3, CONFIGURATION, FEATURES, CONTEXT glossary. Regenerated
capability-registry, golden install-parity fixtures (mempalace hashes only),
agent-size-baseline. Added a routing-contract + cross-surface parity test.

Incidental (folded per no-defer rule): removed pre-existing unused imports
(spawnSync in capability-registry.test.cjs; fs in issue-498-package-identity.test.cjs)
that eslint flagged in/alongside the touched files.

Closes #2007

gsd:mempalace-capture File a phase artifact into MemPalace; mirror decision facts into its temporal KG [CONTEXT.md|PLAN.md|SUMMARY.md]
Read
Bash
config

STOP -- DO NOT READ THIS FILE. You are already reading it. This prompt was injected into your context by the command system. Using the Read tool on this file wastes tokens. Begin executing Step 0 immediately.

Step 0 -- Banner

Before ANY tool calls, display this banner:

GSD > MEMPALACE CAPTURE

Then proceed to Step 1.

Step 1 -- Config Gate

Check whether the MemPalace capability is enabled by reading .planning/config.json directly with the Read tool.

  1. Read .planning/config.json with the Read tool.
  2. If the file does not exist, or config.mempalace is absent, or config.mempalace.enabled !== true, or config.mempalace.capture_artifacts !== true: display the disabled message and STOP.
  3. Otherwise proceed to Step 2.

Disabled message:

GSD > MEMPALACE CAPTURE

MemPalace capture is disabled (mempalace.enabled / mempalace.capture_artifacts).
Nothing was filed; the loop proceeds normally.

This step is onError: skip at discuss:post / plan:post / verify:post -- capture never fails a phase.

Step 2 -- Resolve target

  1. Artifact. Take the artifact from $ARGUMENTS. If absent, infer from the loop point: discuss:post → CONTEXT.md, plan:post → PLAN.md, verify:post → SUMMARY.md.
  2. Room. Map artifact → room:
    • CONTEXT.md → decisions
    • PLAN.md → planning
    • SUMMARY.md → milestones (Confirmed problem→fix pairs go to problems — see the capture-problems fragment used at execute:wave:post.)
  3. Wing. config.mempalace.wing if non-empty, else config.project_code, else the repo directory name.
  4. Mode / transport. Read config.mempalace.memory_mode. Prefer MCP (mempalace_*) when your MemPalace MCP server is registered and your runtime permits those tools; otherwise use the mempalace CLI (covered by this skill's Bash allow-tool), as in mempalace-recall.

Step 3 -- File verbatim (idempotent)

On any error or timeout, stop and let the phase continue -- capture is best-effort.

  1. Dedup first. Interactive: mempalace_check_duplicate on the artifact's deterministic drawer id. Headless: rely on mempalace mine's content-hash idempotency.
  2. Add the drawer (verbatim). File the exact artifact text into room: <room> of wing: <wing> with provenance (source_file, phase id). Interactive: mempalace_add_drawer. Headless: mempalace mine <path> --wing <wing> --room <room>.
  3. Mirror KG facts when config.mempalace.mirror_kg is true: extract decision/delivery facts and mempalace_kg_add them with valid_from = the phase date (e.g. (<project>, decided, <decision>) from CONTEXT; (<phase>, delivered, <capability>) from SUMMARY). Under augment these are an additive mirror of GSD's native .planning/graphs/. Under kg_backend/replace the palace KG is the authoritative fact store — GSD still produces .planning/graphs/ through its normal graphify, so an unreachable palace never loses a fact.
  4. Re-running a phase MUST NOT create duplicate drawers (deterministic ids + check_duplicate).

Step 4 -- Report

Print a one-line summary: Filed <artifact> → <wing>/<room> (<n> KG facts) or MemPalace unavailable — capture skipped.

Anti-Patterns

  1. DO NOT let any MemPalace error fail the step -- capture is onError: skip.
  2. DO NOT write lossy summaries -- store the verbatim artifact text (AAAK compression is a separate, optional index).
  3. DO NOT prune or delete drawers here -- pruning (sync --apply) is the curator agent's job at ship:post, wing-scoped only.
  4. DO NOT skip the config gate or the dedup check.
