test(memory): end-to-end integration tests + migration docs [phase-5]

[quangdang46]

Problem

Need to verify that the mempalace-backed memory system produces equivalent or better results compared to native jcode across all key dimensions, and provide user-facing documentation.

Scope

Part A: Integration Tests

Files: New crates/jcode-mempalace-adapter/tests/

1. Search recall parity:

   • Insert N memories via both backends
   • Search for each memory by content
   • Verify mempalace R@5 >= 95% of native R@5

2. Cascade retrieval parity:

   • Build graph with edges in both backends
   • Run cascade retrieval from same seed IDs
   • Compare result sets and scores

3. Confidence scoring parity:

   • Simulate time progression (mock clocks)
   • Verify confidence matches within 5% at multiple time points
   • Verify category-specific half-lives produce different decay rates

4. Extraction quality:

   • Feed sample transcripts through both extractors
   • Compare extracted memories (count, categories, content overlap)

5. Maintenance task effects:

   • Run link discovery, verify edges created
   • Run confidence boost/decay, verify scores updated
   • Run pruning, verify low-confidence memories removed
   • Run tag inference, verify tags applied

6. Data migration fidelity:

   • Create a MemoryGraph with N memories + M edges + C clusters
   • Migrate to mempalace
   • Verify zero data loss: all memories, edges, tags, clusters, embeddings present
   • Verify round-trip: export from mempalace matches original

7. Latency benchmarks:

   • Benchmark key operations (search, insert, cascade, extraction)
   • Mempalace within 2x of native latency

Part B: Documentation

Files: docs/MEMORY_MIGRATION.md (jcode repo), update docs/MEMORY_ARCHITECTURE.md

1. How to enable mempalace backend:

   • Config option memory_backend = "mempalace"
   • Required mempalace setup (mpr init, embedding model selection)

2. Migration process:

   • Step-by-step jcode memory migrate --to-mempalace
   • Expected output and timing
   • Verification steps

3. Rollback guide:

   • How to switch back to memory_backend = "native"
   • What data is preserved (.bak files)
   • Known limitations of rollback

4. Architecture docs update:

   • Dual-backend design diagram
   • Data flow for both paths
   • Feature parity matrix

5. Troubleshooting:

   • Embedding model mismatch
   • KG schema migration failures
   • Common error messages and fixes

Acceptance Criteria

Tests

• Search recall >= 95% of native backend
• Confidence scores match within 5%
• Zero data loss on migration (all memories, edges, clusters, embeddings)
• Latency within 2x of native
• All test cases pass in CI

Docs

• New user can follow docs to enable mempalace + migrate data
• Rollback procedure documented and tested
• Architecture diagram reflects dual-backend design

Dependencies

• jcode jcode --mode rpc: strict LF-delimited JSONL protocol for IDE / external integrations #12 (MempalaceAdapter)
• jcode Public SDK / library API for embedding jcode in other apps #13 (Migration tool)
• jcode Extension capability policy: --extension-policy safe|balanced|permissive + command-level exec mediation #14 (MemoryTool config gate)
• jcode Extension trust lifecycle and kill-switch #15 (Prompt injection)
