Problem

Vault governs memory storage, retrieval, provenance, confidence, lifecycle, and audit metadata, but external consumers need a provider-independent way to list readable memory changes without depending on vault.db or duplicating Vault policy.

Confirmed root cause

The existing Memory Provider Interface had no governed change envelope, policy-bound cursor, or revision-bound bounded-evidence operation. Independent review also found fail-open or ambiguous behavior around invalid caller sensitivity, missing provider identity, malformed stored governance labels, mixed-case tombstones, HTTP error mapping, rollback execution, and full-suite compatibility.

Fix scope

  • Add the provider-independent vault.memory-change.v1 envelope.
  • Add list_changes, get_metadata, get_revision, and read_bounded_evidence to the provider contract.
  • Add read-only GET /memory/changes and optional revision_id binding to bounded GET /memory/{id}.
  • Require an agent identity on governed provider reads.
  • Reject invalid sensitivity ceilings before every public read-adapter dispatch.
  • Fail closed on malformed stored scope/sensitivity labels.
  • Canonicalize governed labels and mixed-case tombstones.
  • Add OpenAPI/HTTP 400 contracts for bounded client errors.
  • Preserve candidate-first create/update/delete behavior.
  • Add executable, fail-closed rollback guards and exact preservation/allowlist tests.

Contract and privacy properties

  • Stable opaque memory_id and deterministic revision_id over canonical row-snapshot fields.
  • Full raw-content content_sha256; audit_ref remains advisory non-revision metadata.
  • Separate occurred_at, recorded_at, valid_from, and valid_until.
  • Cursor bound to agent/private/sensitivity policy inputs and authorization reevaluated on every page/read.
  • Change pages contain no raw content, allowlists, hidden totals, or hidden identifiers.
  • Missing identity, invalid sensitivity, unknown stored governance labels, stale revisions, and deleted/non-readable memories return no content.
  • Server-side bounded evidence cap: 80 lines.

Non-scope

  • No identity, personality, subject-model, relationship, life-phase, or human-model runtime.
  • No Digital Life package or database dependency.
  • No database schema/data migration.
  • No direct active-memory write or provider-authority switch.
  • No historical full-content reconstruction guarantee.
  • No live Hermes data/configuration change, release, deployment, or merge in this PR update.

Risk / review gate

Risk is L2 because this is a public API/privacy contract. Builder proof is complete and pushed. Current-head hosted CI, CodeRabbit, and an independent protected-file Reviewer receipt must all pass before merge. The Builder does not self-sign.

Migration

None. Existing SQLite rows remain byte-compatible.

Rollback

Use DEP-VAM-002-SEQUENTIAL-MAIN-INTEGRATION/rollback.md. It requires a fresh strict rollback DEP and exact L3 approval, resolves the exact merge commit, verifies receipt/digests/ancestry/cleanliness, reverts only the PR merge, preserves all governance evidence, and mechanically checks the staged path allowlist.

Remaining work

  1. Complete current-head hosted CI and CodeRabbit review.
  2. Obtain an independent Reviewer full review and REV-VAM-002 receipt.
  3. Merge only after all protected gates are green.
  4. Continue sequentially with PR [VAM-005] Freeze canonical Memory Object contract #501, then VAM-006A; deployment/live Hermes changes remain separate and explicitly gated.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds the vault.memory-change.v1 contract, provider operations, policy-bound cursor pagination, revision-aware bounded reads, and the GET /memory/changes Gateway route. It also adds OpenAPI metadata, tests, specifications, and integration evidence.

Changes

Memory Change Envelope

Layer / File(s) Summary
Contract and implementation scope
docs/decision_records/..., docs/issues/..., docs/specs/..., docs/work-packages/..., evidence/DEP-VAM-002-*/...
Defines the envelope, provider operations, policy-bound cursors, revision-aware reads, bounded evidence rules, migration boundaries, and verification scope.
Envelope and cursor helpers
vault/memory_change_envelope.py
Adds content hashing, revision identifiers, stable ordering, cursor encoding and validation, page limits, and confidence normalization.
SQLite provider operations
vault/access_policy.py, vault/memory_provider.py
Adds strict sensitivity validation, policy-filtered change listing, metadata and revision lookup, bounded evidence reads, tombstones, safety flags, and provider capability metadata.
Gateway routes and validation
vault/gateway_memory_api.py, vault/gateway.py, vault/gateway_openapi.py
Exposes GET /memory/changes and revision-aware reads. Updates OpenAPI contracts, opaque reference handling, and HTTP error mapping.
Regression and integration evidence
tests/test_gateway.py, tests/test_memory_change_envelope.py, tests/test_vault_boundary_freeze.py, evidence/..., DEP-VAM-002-*/..., .sddgov/merge-gate.json
Adds coverage for pagination, privacy, stale revisions, bounded scans, snapshots, tombstones, strict validation, rollback guards, and integration metadata.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d2bed

The PR adds provider-independent memory change listing and revision-bound bounded reads, but direct callers that omit a read subject can access restricted metadata and bounded evidence, creating a concrete privacy exposure; revision, deletion, overflow, rollback, and exact-head proof requirements also remain incomplete. Merge should be blocked until these access-control and contract/readiness gaps are closed.

Document /memory/changes cursor errors.

SQLiteMemoryProvider.list_changes returns invalid_cursor and cursor_policy_mismatch payloads without changes, count, next_cursor, or has_more. The gateway returns these payloads with HTTP 200, but the OpenAPI contract defines HTTP 200 only as MemoryChangePage. Add an error response and map these failures to its documented non-2xx status. Add HTTP contract tests for both cursor errors and record Red → Evidence → Fix → Green → Proof in the active DEP.

resolves merge_oid and validates every listed repository, ancestry, worktree,
PR, and exact-approval precondition before permitting git revert. Keep the L3
approval validation and consumption inside the guard, and ensure no revert or
subsequent commit/push can occur when any check fails.

revert to compare staged file contents against parent 1 and fail closed when any
shared VAM-001 or VAM-003 file, receipt, or Frozen Subject path differs; retain
the existing exact changed-path and clean-worktree assertions as additional
checks.

121-161: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Require a read subject for provider reads.

When agent_id and max_sensitivity are omitted, the policy is inactive and can_read_memory permits every row. Direct provider callers can list restricted metadata and read bounded evidence without an identity. Require agent_id for list_changes, get_metadata, get_revision, and read_bounded_evidence, or fail closed when it is absent.

7-35: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Define tombstone envelope semantics before merge.

The envelope example only defines change_type: "upsert". It does not define the tombstone change type, required fields, content_sha256, evidence_ref, or bounded-read behavior for a deleted row. Consumers cannot remove stale memory safely without these rules. As stated in the PR objectives, the contract includes tombstone handling.
