# memory-lancedb-pro - Doramagic AI Context Pack

> Purpose: pre-work context for the user's host AI. This pack does not prove that the project has been installed, run, or validated.

## Project

- canonical_name: `CortexReach/memory-lancedb-pro`
- capability: Enhanced LanceDB memory plugin for OpenClaw — Hybrid Retrieval (Vector + BM25), Cross-Encoder Rerank, Multi-Scope Isolation, Management CLI
- expected_user_outcome: Enhanced LanceDB memory plugin for OpenClaw — Hybrid Retrieval (Vector + BM25), Cross-Encoder Rerank, Multi-Scope Isolation, Management CLI

## Operating Boundaries

- Do not claim that the project has been installed, run, called through an API, or used on local files unless separate evidence proves it.
- Project facts must come from repo evidence, Claim Graph, or explicit source references.
- When a capability is not verified, mark it as unverified instead of completing it as fact.
- publish_status: `publishable`
- blocking_gaps: none

## Doramagic Context Augmentation

The following sections strengthen the repository context for a host AI. Human Manual data is a reading route, and pitfall notes become operating constraints.

## Human Manual Outline

Usage rule: this is only a reading route and salience signal, not factual authority. Concrete claims must still return to repo evidence or Claim Graph.

Host AI hard rules:
- Do not treat page titles, section order, summaries, or importance values as factual project evidence.
- When explaining the Human Manual outline, state that it is only a reading route or salience signal.
- Capability, installation, compatibility, runtime state, and risk claims must cite repo evidence, source paths, or Claim Graph.

- **Overview, Installation & Plugin Architecture**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: index.ts, openclaw.plugin.json, README.md, CHANGELOG-v1.1.0.md, package.json
- **Storage, Embedding & Hybrid Retrieval**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: src/store.ts, src/embedder.ts, src/retriever.ts, src/scopes.ts, src/identity-addressing.ts
- **Memory Intelligence, Extraction & Lifecycle**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: src/smart-extractor.ts, src/extraction-prompts.ts, src/decay-engine.ts, src/tier-manager.ts, src/reflection-store.ts
- **Operations, CLI, Tooling & Common Failure Modes**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: cli.ts, src/tools.ts, src/workspace-boundary.ts, src/redis-lock.ts, src/llm-client.ts

## Repo Inspection Evidence

- repo_clone_verified: true
- repo_inspection_verified: true
- repo_commit: `c5378577bc6b67ce22649ffbc3aca932534160bb`
- inspected_files: `README.md`, `package.json`, `docs/CHANGELOG-v1.1.0.md`, `docs/lock-management.md`, `docs/long-context-chunking.md`, `docs/memory_architecture_analysis.md`, `docs/openclaw-dream-retrofit-report.md`, `docs/openclaw-integration-playbook.md`, `docs/openclaw-integration-playbook.zh-CN.md`, `docs/release-checklist.md`, `examples/new-session-distill/README.md`, `examples/new-session-distill/hook/enqueue-lesson-extract/HOOK.md`, `examples/new-session-distill/hook/enqueue-lesson-extract/handler.ts`, `src/access-tracker.ts`, `src/adaptive-retrieval.ts`, `src/admission-control.ts`, `src/admission-stats.ts`, `src/auto-capture-cleanup.ts`, `src/auto-recall-tier1.ts`, `src/batch-dedup.ts`

Host AI hard rules:
- Without repo_clone_verified=true, do not claim that the source code has been read.
- Without repo_inspection_verified=true, do not write README, docs, or package-file conclusions as facts.
- Without quick_start_verified=true, do not claim that the Quick Start path has run successfully.

## Doramagic Pitfall Constraints

These rules come from Doramagic discovery, validation, or compilation findings. The host AI must treat them as operating constraints, not background notes.
