LoCoMo: resolve-only Unknown and fragmented conversation identity #317

Description

Finding

The PostgreSQL 19 / SQL-PGQ conv-26 smoke on released RememberStack v0.5.0 (050f9f61) passed direct live traversal but scored 0/2 on the selected LoCoMo category-1 questions.

  • all 19 session versions reported pipeline, P1, live-graph, and P3 ready;
  • the property-graph catalog was clean;
  • a real two-hop neighborhood returned 8 nodes / 8 edges without truncation;
  • a pair with no direct edge returned one shortest path of length 2;
  • one category-1 answer used answer_context and was too broad;
  • the other called only resolve_entity("Caroline"), received 92 exact current candidates with that name, and answered Unknown;
  • a direct answer_context call for the identity question did contain the load-bearing identity term.

This is upstream retrieval/entity-resolution quality, not a PostgreSQL 19, SQL/PGQ, catalog, or bounded-traversal failure.

Narrow follow-up

  1. Treat resolve_entity as an identity-preparation call, not content-bearing evidence; the answer loop must not finish Unknown after only resolution.
  2. Investigate why one 19-session conversation produced 92 current entities named Caroline and define the intended cross-session identity/clustering lifecycle.
  3. Re-run the two category-1 items after the reviewed correction and record tool traces.

Safety boundary

Do not globally merge entities merely because their normalized names match. Same-name people are valid and the current resolver deliberately treats exact names as candidate generation rather than an identity verdict. Any identity correction needs provenance/scope and tests for distinct same-name entities.

Evidence

UMC PR #326 records the exact release digests, deployment, readiness, traversal results, score, final verified GCS receipt, and retained-volume state.
