feat: daily narrative memory tables + wagl day CLI (#120)

[GoZumie]

What

Append-only daily narrative layer: daily_entries, daily_memories (junction), daily (materialized summary).

CLI: wagl day

• wagl day — show today's narrative
• wagl day --date 2026-03-21 — specific date
• wagl day --list — list all dates with entries
• wagl day --update — add an entry with context
• wagl day --invalidate <id> --reason '...' — soft-delete with audit trail
• wagl day --include-invalidated — show everything including soft-deleted

Schema

• Part of v1→v2 migration (shared with feat: add environment + origin_domain fields to memory schema #119)
• daily_entries: append-only, soft-invalidation via invalidated_at + invalidation_reason
• daily_memories: links entries to memory_items
• daily: materialized summary per date

Why

Multiple sessions (Becoming, Building, work) write memories throughout the day. The daily table provides a temporal narrative view without mutating individual items.

Closes #120

PR Review by Greptile

Greptile Summary

This PR introduces an append-only daily narrative layer (daily_entries, daily_memories, daily) as part of the v1→v2 schema migration, and exposes it via the new wagl day CLI subcommand with read, append, soft-invalidate, and list operations. It also threads two new provenance fields (environment, origin_domain) through MemoryItem, all existing CLI write paths, the MCP handler, and the HTTP server — a clean, backward-compatible addition thanks to #[serde(default)] and Option typing.

• Schema migration is properly wrapped in a transaction, version-gated, and covered by a new test in migrate.rs.
• memory_item_from_row helper eliminates ~120 lines of repeated row-deserialization across five query sites — a meaningful DRY improvement.
• daily_entries.date has no index in either the init schema (lib.rs:489) or the migration (migrate.rs:220); queries filtering by date (get_daily_entries, invalidate_daily_entry's pre-lookup) will full-scan as the table grows over years of use.
• --date combined with --invalidate is not caught by validate_day_args, so the date value is silently discarded rather than returning a clear error.
• link_daily_memory / daily_memories is scaffolded but never called from the Day command, leaving the described "links entries to memory_items" feature incomplete in this PR.
• Two temporal-recall queries (query_recent_high_valence, query_open_todos_with_filter) were correctly updated to include the new columns but bypass the MEMORY_ITEM_SELECT constant, creating a future divergence risk.

Confidence Score: 4/5

• Safe to merge after adding the missing daily_entries.date index and the --date/--invalidate guard; all other findings are non-blocking cleanups.
• The core feature (append-only daily entries, soft-invalidation, materialized summary, v1→v2 migration) is well-implemented, transactionally safe, and test-covered. The memory_item_from_row refactor is a clear improvement. The missing index is a performance concern rather than a correctness bug, the silent --date discard is a UX rough edge, and the daily_memories gap is incomplete scaffolding — none of these break the primary user path. One targeted fix (the index) would make this a clean merge.
• crates/db/src/lib.rs and crates/db/src/migrate.rs for the missing daily_entries.date index; crates/cli/src/main.rs for the --date/--invalidate validation gap.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
crates/db/src/lib.rs	Core DB layer: adds environment/origin_domain to MemoryItem, introduces memory_item_from_row helper to eliminate duplicated row-mapping, and implements all five daily narrative methods (insert_daily_entry, get_daily_entries, get_daily_summary, list_daily_dates, invalidate_daily_entry, link_daily_memory, refresh_daily_summary). Missing index on daily_entries.date; two temporal-recall queries bypass the new MEMORY_ITEM_SELECT constant; link_daily_memory is never called.
crates/db/src/migrate.rs	Bumps schema version 1→2 and adds migrate_v1_to_v2_inner which creates the three daily tables inside a transactional wrapper. Migration tests are updated and a new migration_v1_to_v2_adds_daily_tables test is added. Missing index on daily_entries.date in the migration DDL (matches init schema gap).
crates/cli/src/main.rs	Adds Cmd::Day with full argument parsing, validate_day_args, validate_day_date, today_local_date_string, and default_origin_domain. Threads environment/origin_domain through all existing Put, Canon, and ingest call sites. --date is not validated as incompatible with --invalidate, causing silent discard.
crates/core/src/types.rs	Adds environment and origin_domain optional fields (with #[serde(default)]) to MemoryItem, and introduces DailyEntry and DailySummary structs. Clean, backward-compatible change.
crates/cli/src/ingest_cmd.rs	Fills in the new environment/origin_domain fields when constructing MemoryItem inside run_ingest_transcripts. Minimal, correct change.
crates/cli/tests/temporal_recall_smoke.rs	Adds environment: None, origin_domain: None to three test fixtures to satisfy the updated MemoryItem struct. No logic changes.
crates/mcp/src/handler.rs	Sets environment: None, origin_domain: None in the MCP handler's MemoryItem construction. Minimal, correct change.
crates/server/src/lib.rs	Exposes environment and origin_domain in PutItemRequest and passes them through to MemoryItem. Backward-compatible (both fields are Option).

   Inline queries not using MEMORY_ITEM_SELECT

   Two queries — query_recent_high_valence (line 982) and query_open_todos_with_filter (line 1025) — still hardcode the full column list instead of using the new MEMORY_ITEM_SELECT constant. Both were manually updated to include environment, origin_domain, which is correct for now, but they will silently diverge if MEMORY_ITEM_SELECT is changed in the future. The same applies to the analogous query at line 1025.

   Consider replacing both inline projections with MEMORY_ITEM_SELECT:

   &format!(
       "SELECT {} FROM memory_items \
        WHERE created_at >= ?1 \
          AND d_score IS NOT NULL \
          ...",
       MEMORY_ITEM_SELECT, actionable_filter
   ),

Preserve provenance fields during dedupe-key upserts

This merge keeps id, created_at, tags, and files from the existing row, but it takes environment and origin_domain only from the incoming item. Because the new provenance fields are optional on the HTTP API (PutItemRequest) and other callers can omit them, any idempotent write with upsert=true will clear previously captured provenance for that dedupe key. That turns routine updates into silent metadata loss.

Self-review notes:

✅ wagl day subcommand with --update, --date, --list, --invalidate, --include-invalidated.
✅ Append-only daily_entries table with soft invalidation (invalidated_at + reason).
✅ daily_memories junction table for linking entries to memory items.
✅ daily table for materialized summaries.
✅ Migration test for v1→v2 schema.

⚠️ Merge order: This branch shares the combined commit with PR #127. Merge #127 first, then rebase this to show only the daily-table delta. Or merge both together since they are the same changeset implementing #119 + #120.

[GoZumie]

Addressed all review feedback in commit c3b141a:

Fixed:

• ✅ Missing index on daily_entries.date — added CREATE INDEX in both init schema and v1→v2 migration
• ✅ --date + --invalidate validation gap — now returns a clear error instead of silently discarding --date
• ✅ Temporal queries bypass MEMORY_ITEM_SELECT — query_recent_high_valence and query_open_todos_with_filter now use the constant (no more future-divergence risk)
• ✅ Codex P2: upsert provenance loss — environment and origin_domain are now preserved from the existing row when the incoming item omits them (same merge pattern as id, created_at, tags, files)
• ✅ link_daily_memory scaffolding — added a TODO comment in the Day --update handler explaining what it needs (content-similarity lookup) before it can be wired up

Not fixed (intentional):

• link_daily_memory itself — incomplete scaffolding, documented via TODO. Implementing the lookup is a separate task.

CI should be green. Ready for merge when you are.

🔍 Review Status (2026-03-24)

CI is all green ✅ and the branch is mergeable, but holding on the following before proceeding:

🔴 P1 — Bundle data-loss regression
Automated review flagged that bundle_cmd.rs (export + import) does not serialize/deserialize the new daily_entries or daily_memories tables. A user can write narrative entries via wagl day --update, export a bundle, and silently lose all of it on import. Since bundles are the primary backup/share path, this is a blocking regression.

🟡 P2 — Missing index on daily_entries.date
Queries on WHERE date = ?1 without an index will do full table scans as the table grows.

🟡 P2 — --date silently ignored with --invalidate
validate_day_args guards --date + --list and --date + --update, but not --date + --invalidate. The date is silently discarded.

🟡 P2 — daily_memories table never populated from CLI
link_daily_memory exists and the table is created, but nothing calls it. If this is deferred scaffolding, a comment noting the intended call site would help.

Will hold merge until at minimum the P1 bundle issue is resolved. Happy to delegate the fix to CCA.

🔍 Review Update (2026-03-24 14:35 CST)

P1 bundle data-loss regression → ✅ RESOLVED in ac863a8b

The latest commit adds DailyEntry/DailySummary variants to BundleRecord, plus export/import support for both tables. The primary blocking issue is closed.

CI: All checks green ✅ (CodeQL, fmt + test, CI pipeline)

Remaining P2 items (non-blocking):

• 🟡 Missing index on daily_entries.date — full table scan on date filter as data grows
• 🟡 --date + --invalidate not validated — date is silently discarded
• 🟡 daily_memories table scaffolded but link_daily_memory never called from CLI

These are cleanup items, not correctness issues. Can be followed up in a separate PR.

@Zumie-BI — CI is green, P1 resolved. Ready for your approval if the feature looks good. 🚀

Upsert existing daily entries during bundle import

upsert_daily_entry uses INSERT OR IGNORE, so importing a newer bundle snapshot does not apply later changes to an existing entry (notably invalidated/invalidate_reason). This breaks incremental restore/sync workflows: an entry invalidated in the source DB remains active in the target DB after re-import, and refresh_daily_summary then rebuilds daily.content from that stale active row.
