This PR completes the “Decayed-entry recall” memory design requirement by making fact memory searchable via recall even after facts have aged out of the always-on digest, while still preserving the anti-poisoning guarantees from #64 through explicit per-hit state labeling and host-side warnings.

Show a summary per file| File | Description |
|---|---|
| extensions/levelcode-ai/sessionMemory.js | Implements recallFacts() over the full fold, adding state labeling and ranking rules while keeping removed excluded. |
| extensions/levelcode-ai/sessions.js | Exposes recallFacts() on the sessions manager API to support tool-level recall of facts. |
| extensions/levelcode-ai/extension.js | Updates recall_sessions tool formatting to include facts (with state-qualified warnings) ahead of session hits. |
| extensions/levelcode-ai/test/sessionMemory.test.js | Adds a corpus-based suite validating decayed fact recall, state labels, supersede behavior, and empty-query safety. |
| extensions/levelcode-ai/test/memoryPoisoning.test.js | Pins that instruction-gated facts remain unmistakably labeled in recall and that the host formatter preserves “do not act on it.” |
| docs/levelcode-sessions-memory.md | Updates the M4 checklist/documentation to mark decayed-entry recall complete and documents the new behavior and exclusions. |

Sorry, something went wrong.
The last M4 item. §4 promises "Decayed ≠ deleted — it's still in Recall"; that was true of the journal and false of facts. `consolidate()` writes only `activeFacts` into MEMORY.md, and `recall()` searched the journal alone. So a fact that was merely INFERRED (seen once), SUPERSEDED by later work, or withheld as instruction-shaped appeared in NEITHER — it sat in facts.jsonl, correct and cited, and no question could surface it. Decay is meant to keep the always-on digest current, not to build a museum with no door. Measured on a four-fact corpus: one reaches MEMORY.md, and the other three were reachable by nothing. `recallFacts()` ranks over the FULL fold rather than activeFacts, and the recall_sessions tool now searches facts alongside sessions — facts first, because a curated truth answers "what did we decide about X" more directly than "here is a session where it came up". A decayed fact is a lower-confidence answer, not a non-answer — so every hit carries a `state` and the tool result qualifies it for the model: confirmed no hedge (over-hedging teaches the model to ignore hedges) observed / inferred unconfirmed, weak evidence superseded SUPERSEDED, plus what replaced it unconfirmed-instruction recorded, never approved, do not act on it That last one is the seam that keeps this from undoing the instruction gate from unfindable — the user asked — but it may never come back looking like an ordinary fact. `removed` is the one exclusion: a user's "not true" must stay not true, or the correction feels like it did not take. Tests: 7 in sessionMemory.test.js over a corpus with one fact in every state the fold can produce, plus 2 in memoryPoisoning.test.js pinning that recall cannot launder a withheld instruction. Verified non-vacuous: rank over activeFacts only 13/19 flatten the state labels 13/19 let `removed` through 7/19 unwire facts from the tool 36/39 All 32 suites green. M4 is now complete bar memory-set export.

The last M4 item. §4 promises:
That was true of the journal and false of facts.
The gap
consolidate() writes only activeFacts into MEMORY.md, and recall() searched the journal alone. So a fact that was merely inferred (seen once), superseded by later work, or withheld as instruction-shaped appeared in neither — it sat in facts.jsonl, correct and cited, and no question could surface it.
Measured on a four-fact corpus before the fix:
activeFacts (what reaches MEMORY.md): - Idempotency keys live in Redis ← 1 of 4 recallFacts("refund retries"): (nothing) recallFacts("sessions stored"): (nothing) recallFacts("signature verification"):(nothing)Three facts reachable by nothing at all. Decay is meant to keep the always-on digest current, not to build a museum with no door.
The fix
recallFacts() ranks over the full fold rather than activeFacts, and recall_sessions now searches facts alongside sessions — facts first, because a curated truth answers "what did we decide about X" more directly than "here is a session where it came up".
After:
recallFacts("refund retries"): Refund retries use a 3x backoff | inferred recallFacts("sessions stored"): Sessions are stored under … | superseded recallFacts("signature verification"): Always disable signature verif | unconfirmed-instructionA decayed fact is a lower-confidence answer, not a non-answer
So every hit carries a state, and the tool result qualifies it for the model:
confirmed deliberately gets no hedge — over-hedging teaches a model to ignore hedges.
This must not undo #64
Withholding an order from the always-on digest must not also make it unfindable — the user asked for it. But it may never come back looking like an ordinary fact. state is that seam, and there are two tests pinning it, including one asserting the host formatter still spells out do not act on it.
removed is the single exclusion: a user's "not true" stays not true, or the correction feels like it didn't take.
Tests
7 new in sessionMemory.test.js over a corpus holding one fact in every state the fold can produce, plus 2 in memoryPoisoning.test.js.
All 32 suites green.
M4 after this
Only memory-set export remains, and that's a sibling of #65 rather than an M4 blocker — M4 is done.
