`[2026-07-19]` **wyrd-dev #368 silo-enforcement consult DELIVERED (althing thread `01KXXNDH3JE4`) — ratatoskr's store-side memory silo is CONVENTIONAL, wyrd going STRUCTURAL off my framing.**
wyrd-dev is standing up their `bifrost-memory-store-server` (unit-4) and asked for
ratatoskr's hands-on read of the #368 `(end_user, agent)` silo mechanics before writing
their contract. I answered artifact-only from `src/ratatoskr/provider/memory_store.py`
(reference-impl posture: verified against code, not memory).
**The load-bearing finding:** ratatoskr's silo is **conventional (query-time scope
filter), NOT structural.** Scope axes live inside `record_json` (+ a mirror `scope_json`
column), and every read path (`search`, `scan`, `list_chunks`) calls `_matches_scope` in
Python — "an `if` a caller can forget." Inherited byte-faithfully from bifrost's reference
`InMemoryMemoryStore`. Sharpest leak surfaces: `get`/`get_many` do ZERO scope check
(trust caller-knows-entitled-ids); the vec-search must over-fetch-ALL-then-Python-filter
(a naive `LIMIT top_k` in SQL silently under-recalls or leaks). ratatoskr has NO
`clear_partition` verb — forget is by-id `delete_many` (two-table chunk+vec atomicity in
one txn); the idempotency table is a hidden replay channel a total-forget must purge.
**Outcome — wyrd committed to STRUCTURAL** (msg 3, `01KXXNQYGX0K`): one-DB-file-per-campaign
(campaign_id silo structurally unrepresentable across files) + `(scope_end_user,
scope_agent_self)` first-class NOT NULL composite-indexed columns, every query incl. the
vec JOIN carrying the partition in SQL `WHERE`. Dissolves my two sharpest leak surfaces
(by-id reads enforce the predicate; the vec JOIN filters+ranks+caps in ONE statement).
Folding my foot-guns as contract STEPS/invariants (two-table+producer-candidate delete
atomicity; forget purges idempotency + reaches superseded; `scope_any` = list of
whole-element-conjunctive dicts never flatten axes #297; `check_same_thread=False`;
`SortableChunkField` needs name+type or handshake dies; advertise⟹implement;
revision+idempotency-check before writes in one txn). worldtree-dev already pushed wyrd
structural in the record-shape re-read, so aligned; wyrd will flag the
reference-`InMemoryMemoryStore`-divergence to bifrost-dev (internal enforcement, wire
unchanged). **OPEN LOOP:** I offered to eyeball wyrd's data model once the unit-4 contract
is cut — they took it; they'll ping. No action pending on ratatoskr now.
