fix(evict): schedule the eviction sweep at boot - #1287
Conversation
mem::evict has always been reachable only from POST /agentmemory/evict: the boot scheduler registers auto-forget, lesson-decay, insight-decay, the recent-searches sweep, and consolidation, but never eviction. A long-lived deployment therefore never enforced maxObservationsPerProject - a dry run on a 201k-observation live store reported 55,716 evictions due against the 10,000 default. Sweep on the same pattern as auto-forget, with three hardenings the other timers lack but this one needs: - The timer body logs completion (returned stats, elapsed time) and failure explicitly. This sweep can run genuinely long - stale-session recovery fans out LLM summarize/graph-extract per recovered session plus a corpus-wide consolidation pass - so a bare try/catch would silently absorb a mid-sweep timeout and leave the cap unenforced with zero log lines to show why. - An in-flight guard drops a tick rather than overlap two sweeps: decrementImageRef is lock-protected per image path but not idempotent across separate passes, so two concurrent passes evicting observations that share an image could each decrement its refcount and delete an image a third observation still references. - Interval env vars are validated (parsePositiveIntervalMs in config.ts, exported so the rejection cases are unit-testable): only a plain positive decimal integer within Node's 32-bit timer range is accepted. parseInt of a typo'd value is NaN and setInterval(fn, NaN) fires on effectively every event-loop tick; parseInt truncates "1e3" and "1.5" to 1; a value above 2147483647 overflows the timer delay and is coerced to 1ms - every rejected shape is a continuous destructive loop rather than a periodic sweep. The existing auto-forget/consolidation intervals get the same guard. - The armed confirmation reports through logger, not just bootLog, so a daemon start actually records that a destructive 6-hourly sweep is now running (bootLog reaches stderr only under --verbose). EVICTION_ENABLED=false opts out; EVICTION_INTERVAL_MS overrides the 6h default. Both documented in .env.example.

- Around line 214-215: Update the overview documentation in .env.example to
explicitly note that EVICTION_ENABLED defaults to true, or remove the inaccurate
global claim that all configuration options are disabled by default; keep the
EVICTION_ENABLED and EVICTION_INTERVAL_MS descriptions consistent with the
actual defaults.

- Around line 117-121: Consolidate reportEvictionScheduled into a single shared
implementation, removing the duplicate from the module where it was added and
reusing the existing helper from src/index.ts through an import. Update callers
and the eviction scheduled logger test to reference the shared symbol,
preserving the current logging behavior.

Use one reportEvictionScheduled implementation.
src/index.ts:117-121 already defines this helper, and src/index.ts:617 calls that implementation. The new helper in src/functions/evict.ts is the copy tested by test/eviction-scheduled-logger.test.ts:14. The implementations are identical now, but they can diverge silently. Move the helper to one module and import that shared implementation from src/index.ts.

The .env.example overview claimed every line is off by default, which stopped being true once EVICTION_ENABLED defaulted on - someone enabling the daemon could get automatic eviction without expecting it. The exception is now stated up front. Also cut the added source comments to the repository guideline, keeping the interval-parsing rationale (every rejected shape arms a destructive timer far more often than configured) and dropping the narration around it.

Problem
mem::evictis fully implemented — stale sessions, low-importance observations, themaxObservationsPerProjectcap, expired/non-latest memories — but nothing ever runs it. The boot scheduler insrc/index.tsregisters auto-forget, lesson-decay, insight-decay, the recent-searches sweep, and consolidation, and never eviction; the only trigger isPOST /agentmemory/evict, which no deployment calls on a schedule. On a live 201k-observation store, a dry run reported 55,716 evictions due against the 10,000-per-project default — the cap has effectively never been enforced.Fix
Schedule the sweep at boot on the auto-forget pattern (
EVICTION_ENABLEDopt-out,EVICTION_INTERVAL_MSoverride, 6h default,unref()'d timer), with three hardenings this particular timer needs:mem::summarizeandmem::graph-extractper recovered session plus a corpus-wide consolidation pass — so the body logs completion (returned stats, elapsed ms) and failure explicitly rather than a baretry {} catch {}that would silently absorb a mid-sweep timeout and leave the cap unenforced with no trace.decrementImageRefis lock-protected per image path but not idempotent across separate passes, so two concurrent passes evicting observations that share an image could each decrement its refcount and delete an image a third observation still references.parsePositiveIntervalMs(inconfig.ts, exported so its rejection cases are unit-testable) accepts only a plain positive decimal integer within Node's 32-bit timer range. Everything it rejects would arm the timer far more often than configured:parseInt("abc")isNaNandsetInterval(fn, NaN)fires on effectively every event-loop tick;parseInttruncates"1e3"/"1.5"to 1; and a value above 2147483647 overflows Node's timer delay and is coerced to 1ms — for a data-deleting timer, each is a continuous destructive loop. The existing auto-forget and consolidation intervals get the same guard. Regression tests cover all three adversarial shapes, verified to fail against the naiveparseIntversion.logger(reaching daemon logs) withbootLogkept for--verboseparity — an operator should get a log line saying a destructive 6-hourly sweep just started running.Tests
The scheduler lives inside
main(), which connects to a real engine and opens listeners on import, so the registration is pinned structurally (source-regex on the actual call shape — the guardedsetIntervaltriggeringmem::evict {dryRun:false}timed byevictionIntervalMsand unref'd), matching the idiomtest/session-end-triggers-graph.test.tsandtest/events-consolidation.test.tsalready use for boot-time wiring. Plus behavioral tests for the completion/failure logging shape, the overlap guard, the interval derivation, andreportEvictionScheduledreachinglogger.info.Full suite: 1720 passed / 1 skipped.
tsc --noEmitunchanged at the 30 pre-existing errors (none in touched files).Heads-up on interaction: first scheduled sweeps on long-lived stores may evict a large backlog (that's the point, but worth knowing before merging).
