Draft PR for #304. Dropped the preview field to keep the diff tiny. It only returns
Project, MatchCount, and TopRank (using FTS5 bm25). All MCP tool count tests updated.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added project discovery through memory relevance search.
    • Search results display project names, relevance rankings, and match counts.
    • Supports matching all search terms or any individual search term.
    • Available in the default agent toolset.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added validation for empty searches and unsupported matching modes.
    • Search results are limited, consistently ranked, and exclude unavailable projects.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds project-level memory relevance search through the mem_find_project MCP tool. The store groups and ranks full-text matches by project. The agent profile, registration, validation, formatting, and tests are updated.

Changes

Project relevance search

Layer / File(s) Summary
Store project search
internal/store/store.go, internal/store/store_test.go
Adds ProjectMatch and SearchProjects. The store groups observation matches by project, applies scope and match-mode filters, and orders results by rank and match count. Tests cover matching modes, limits, filtering, exclusions, and errors.
MCP project discovery tool
internal/mcp/mcp.go, internal/mcp/mcp_test.go
Registers mem_find_project, adds it to the agent profile, validates inputs, formats ranked results, and updates tool-count expectations. Tests cover success and error responses.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d9896

Personal-scope project searches can generate follow-up guidance that looks for results in the wrong scope, causing users to see no matching memories even when personal matches exist. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Assert the relevance-ordering contract.

The PR requires mem_find_project to return projects ordered by relevance. These tests can pass if the store returns the wrong top project or the MCP handler reverses the ordered results.

  • internal/store/store_test.go#L8944-L8948: Assert that the controlled high-relevance fixture, project-b, is the single result for limit: 1.
  • internal/mcp/mcp_test.go#L7490-L7495: Assert that project-one occurs before project-two, and assert each formatted result includes its match count and rank: field.

As per path instructions, **/*_test.go must provide deterministic coverage.

All CodeRabbit feedback has been addressed. The formatting fix is in, and table-driven tests for the edge cases are green locally and in CI.

Since I don't have triage permissions, could a maintainer please add the type:feature label to this PR and the status:approved label to Issue #304 so the validation pipeline can pass?

cc @Gentleman-Programming @Alan-TheGentleman

Add support for 'scope' filtering (all, project, personal) to the mem_find_project MCP tool and SearchProjects store method.

This allows agents to filter project discovery by scope, ensuring symmetry with the existing mem_search scope filtering (REQ-391).

1203-1208: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve personal scope in the follow-up command.

When scope == "personal", the search can return a project with only personal matches. The guidance then calls mem_search without scope, which defaults to project and can return no matching memory.

  • internal/mcp/mcp.go#L1203-L1208: Add scope: "personal" to the generated mem_search guidance when the request scope is personal.
  • internal/mcp/mcp_test.go#L7540-L7545: Assert that the personal-scope response contains scope: "personal".
Proposed fix
-		b.WriteString("\nUse mem_search with project: \"<name>\" to explore these memories.")
+		b.WriteString("\nUse mem_search with project: \"<name>\"")
+		if scope == "personal" {
+			b.WriteString(` and scope: "personal"`)
+		}
+		b.WriteString(" to explore these memories.")

As per path instructions, **/*_test.go must verify happy paths, error paths, and edge cases.
