Closes #1195
Part of #737 (documentation tracker; this PR is the drift + authority-map slice, the tracker stays open for the remaining units).

📝 Summary

  • Corrects the last verified code-vs-docs drift from the docs: establish global documentation authority and reconcile drift #737 audit (post-docs: align schema authority and Memory Protocol anchor #1037 main): docs/PLUGINS.md tool counts 22/18 -> 23/19 (code registers 23: 19 agent + 4 admin in internal/mcp/mcp.go; the tracker's own "22" count predates mem_list_projects) and the conflicts table six -> eight endpoints (POST /conflicts/judge, POST /conflicts/compare added, per internal/server/server.go:481-488).
  • Rewrites the docs/AGENT-SETUP.md Cursor section and its Surviving Compaction entry to the real flow: setup writes ~/.cursor/engram-memory-protocol.md for manual paste into Settings -> Rules -> User Rules; the previous text recommended a global .mdc path that a Go test (registry_test.go) explicitly forbids.
  • Adds a Documentation Authority table to DOCS.md (contract -> canonical doc -> code authority -> must-change-together, 8 rows), a Quick Navigation row for it, and the missing sync_delete_tombstones schema bullet (store.go:1073-1082).

📂 Changes

File Change
docs/PLUGINS.md Tool counts 23/19; conflicts table 8 rows
docs/AGENT-SETUP.md Cursor setup + Surviving Compaction rewritten to match internal/setup/agents.go
DOCS.md Documentation Authority table + Quick Nav row + sync_delete_tombstones bullet

✅ Test Plan

  • Content-vs-code verification (independent verifier, 7/7 PASS): 23 mcp.NewTool registrations, 19/4 profile entries counted; conflicts table set-equal to the 8 registered routes; Cursor passages matched line-by-line against agents.go:121-135,242 and the prohibition test; zero remaining stale claims (22 default, 18 agent, All six, .mdc path) across the three files
  • Docs-only change: no Go file, fixture, or workflow touched (scope check PASS)
  • Markdown render sanity: table separators and column counts uniform (PASS)

🔍 Review Provenance

Native review completed (tier medium, lens review-reliability) with closure approved and the acknowledgement burned (evidence gentle-ai.review-acknowledged/v1, lineage review-63ee47f4a1eb2d6a). Four findings, all non-blocking advisories (informational); two over-specific Cursor-behavior sentences flagged by verification were softened before the review to assert only what the repo's own code and tests state.

Out of scope, tracked under #737: session-lifecycle contract, cloud/dashboard route audit, replacing the duplicate full inventory table in ARCHITECTURE.md with a link, internal/mcp/testdata/tool-contract-v1.json fixture lag (legal additive widening, code-side follow-up).

Label request: type:docs (pull-only author, maintainer needs to apply it).

🤖 AI Assistance

Implemented by a writer agent from a verified file:line drift map, independently verified by a verifier agent (7/7 checks), and reviewed through the native review lifecycle above, orchestrated by el Gentleman under danielgap's direction.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added navigation and guidance on authoritative documentation sources, related references to update together, and code and tests taking precedence over docs.
    • Expanded deletion-schema guidance with historical mutation-sequence retention, backfill behavior, and when local or cloud sync can apply updates while a deletion record is active.
    • Updated Cursor setup instructions for manually adding the protocol to User Rules, clarified global rule-file behavior, and noted that .cursorrules is still recognized but deprecated.
    • Updated plugin documentation with current MCP tool counts and details for eight conflict endpoints, including verdict and comparison routes.

…ap (Gentleman-Programming#737)

Correct the remaining code-vs-docs drift verified on post-Gentleman-Programming#1037 main and
add the documentation authority map: PLUGINS.md tool counts 22/18 -> 23/19
and conflicts table six -> eight endpoints (judge, compare added);
AGENT-SETUP.md Cursor section and Surviving Compaction entry rewritten to
the real setup flow (informational ~/.cursor/engram-memory-protocol.md
pasted into User Rules; no global .mdc, matching the registry test that
forbids it); DOCS.md gains a Documentation Authority table (contract ->
canonical doc -> code authority -> must-change-together), a Quick
Navigation row, and the missing sync_delete_tombstones schema bullet.

Docs-only: verification is content-vs-code checks (tool registration
counts, route registrations, setup code paths), all grep-evidenced.
Rollback: single revert; no code or behavior touched.

Enforce the tombstone floor during remote apply.

Store.ApplyPulledMutation and Store.ApplyPulledChunk call applyPulledMutationTx without checking sync_delete_tombstones.last_mutation_seq. The session and observation upsert branches then write the payload and deactivate the active tombstone. An older remote upsert can therefore recreate a deleted entity and remove the deletion floor. Apply the sequence check before writing or clearing the tombstone, using the correct comparable mutation-order value.

Both CodeRabbit findings addressed in 49708e9:

DOCS.md:74 (tombstone floor) — Verified against applyPulledMutationTx (internal/store/store.go): the apply path does not compare last_mutation_seq; pulled upserts simply deactivate the tombstone via clearSyncDeleteTombstoneForUpsertTx. The floor is only consulted by syncDeleteTombstoneNeedsBackfill to decide whether delete intent still needs to be re-emitted. The docs line claimed an apply-time anti-resurrection floor that the engine does not implement, so I corrected the docs to describe the actual semantics (idempotent backfill emission, last-writer-wins apply). Making apply sequence-aware would be a sync-engine change with its own tests — out of scope for this docs-reconciliation PR; happy to file a separate issue for it if maintainers want that behavior.

AGENT-SETUP.md:647/651/781 (Cursor global rules) — Dropped the "no global rule path works" claim and the "unlike global paths" contrast. Current official docs document User Rules only via Customize → Rules (no filesystem path), while recent Cursor versions do read global user-rule files under ~/.cursor/rules/*.mdc (community-verified, not officially documented) — the text now states both, keeps the generated ~/.cursor/engram-memory-protocol.md explicitly informational, aligns on Customize → Rules wording, and notes that project rules must be .mdc with frontmatter (plain .md is ignored).

Minor follow-up noticed while verifying: the setup instruction string in internal/setup/agents.go still says "Settings → Rules" — left untouched here since this PR is docs-only.

Valid finding — addressed in c3ef07b. The repo's own adapter (internal/setup/agents.go) and registry_test.go pin that global .mdc rule files are ignored, so the docs must not point users at ~/.cursor/rules/*.mdc. I removed the claim entirely rather than re-asserting the opposite: combined with the previous round (which dropped "no global rule path works"), the text is now neutral on the officially undocumented location and documents only the supported workflow (informational file → paste into Customize → Rules → User Rules).

…ap (Gentleman-Programming#737)

Correct the remaining code-vs-docs drift verified on post-Gentleman-Programming#1037 main and
add the documentation authority map: PLUGINS.md tool counts 22/18 -> 23/19
and conflicts table six -> eight endpoints (judge, compare added);
AGENT-SETUP.md Cursor section and Surviving Compaction entry rewritten to
the real setup flow (informational ~/.cursor/engram-memory-protocol.md
pasted into User Rules; no global .mdc, matching the registry test that
forbids it); DOCS.md gains a Documentation Authority table (contract ->
canonical doc -> code authority -> must-change-together), a Quick
Navigation row, and the missing sync_delete_tombstones schema bullet.

Docs-only: verification is content-vs-code checks (tool registration
counts, route registrations, setup code paths), all grep-evidenced.
Rollback: single revert; no code or behavior touched.

Requesting one authority-map correction before this docs slice can migrate.

The current head correctly matches main: 23 MCP tool registrations, 8 /conflicts/* routes, the Cursor setup behavior, and the sync_delete_tombstones schema. The remaining problem is the “Tool input schemas” row in the new Documentation Authority table.

internal/mcp/testdata/tool-contract-v1.json is a compatibility baseline, not the complete live schema authority. TestMCPToolContractV1 observes live schemas from internal/mcp/mcp.go and intentionally permits compatible additions, so the fixture can lag the live surface by design. Please name internal/mcp/mcp.go as the live code authority and describe the fixture as the test-enforced v1 compatibility baseline that changes only when that baseline intentionally changes.

I verified the immutable head, counts, stale-claim removal, and git diff --check; all pass. After this correction, update from current main and rerun the docs checks.

Agreed. internal/mcp/mcp.go is the live schema authority, while internal/mcp/testdata/tool-contract-v1.json is the test-enforced v1 compatibility baseline and may intentionally lag compatible additions.

I’ll correct that authority-map row, update the branch from current main, and rerun the docs checks.

Addressed in 311f656. The authority map now names internal/mcp/mcp.go as the live schema authority and describes internal/mcp/testdata/tool-contract-v1.json as the test-enforced v1 compatibility baseline that changes only when the baseline intentionally changes.

The branch is updated from current main; TestMCPToolContractV1, diff checks, and the full PR CI suite pass. Ready for re-review.

🟡 Minor · Document the cross-target floor exception. · DOCS.md:74

DOCS.md:74
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Document the cross-target floor exception.

For a non-default target, an active tombstone does not block an upsert when another target has a floor but the current target has none. The upsert then deactivates the tombstone. Update this description so it does not claim that the active tombstone always protects targets without an applicable floor.

Suggested fix
-- Pulled session and observation upserts first pass a tombstone guard: local sync compares a known payload generation with the hard-delete time, while cloud sync checks the applicable remote delete sequence floor (or an active tombstone where no comparable floor exists). Only permitted upserts can deactivate the tombstone.
+- Pulled session and observation upserts first pass a tombstone guard: local sync compares a known payload generation with the hard-delete time, while cloud sync checks the applicable remote delete sequence floor. For non-default targets, floors are isolated; an active tombstone blocks the upsert only when no target has a remote floor. Only permitted upserts can deactivate the tombstone.

🟡 Minor · Update the CLI MCP tool counts. · PLUGINS.md:107

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the CLI MCP tool counts.

The MCP registry contains 23 default tools and 19 agent-profile tools. However, printUsage still reports 22 and 18. Users who run engram --help can receive counts that contradict the registry and docs/PLUGINS.md.

Suggested fix
-                        Profiles: agent (18 tools), admin (4 tools), all (default, 22)

Re-reviewed at fa24405 against current main. The tool-schema authority row now names the live MCP registrations and distinguishes the compatibility fixture, resolving my prior request. Tombstone schema and per-target floor wording were checked against the store migration/guards; the conflict judge route wording matches the handler. Focused store tests and refreshed CI pass (Performance Ratchet skipped by design). CLI help counts remain a separate follow-up, outside this documentation PR.
