+/**
+ * A memory id the model supplies must match literally, and the id the tool
+ * prints must be the id the tool accepts.
+ *
+ * Two defects in the same command family:
+ *
+ * 1. `memory pin` / `memory delete` interpolate the positional argument into a
+ *    LIKE pattern — `memory/%/${id}.md`. `%` and `_` are wildcards there, so
+ *    `cumora memory delete %` became `path LIKE 'memory/%/%.md'` and removed
+ *    every memory the agent had, reporting "deleted %". Verified against
+ *    Postgres 16 before the fix: three memories in, `DELETE 3`, none left.
+ *    `skills delete` is the same shape one command over.
+ *
+ * 2. `memory list` printed `m.id.slice(0, 10)` while ids are minted 16 wide
+ *    (`mem-` + 12 characters of a UUID). So the token the listing showed could
+ *    never resolve: `path LIKE 'memory/%/mem-c2ad15.md'` does not match
+ *    `memory/observation/mem-c2ad155a-56a.md`. `cumora help` documents
+ *    list → pin/delete as the workflow, and it could not round-trip for any
+ *    memory ever written.
+ *
+ * Run: INTEGRATION_DATABASE_URL=… npm run test:integration
