Summary
Adds RFC-007: Durable Memory Taxonomy & Scope to
contracts/rfcs/, proposingthat the Memory domain grow from its single generic
MemoryRecordsurface into atyped taxonomy. Each addition is stated as a non-breaking delta on the current
contract, with an explicit rationale for why the existing surface is insufficient.
Today only episodic memory is meaningfully specified (
content: string+kind: enum). A self-improving, closed-loop scientific platform also needs:confidence,evidence, validity window andsupersession (belief revision), which an append-only blob cannot express.
replayProcedurematerializes a governed RunControl plan (re-passes policy/budget gates, cannot
escalate privilege). A text blob is not executable.
exempt from
forget. Current records are mutable/soft-deletable.memory-scope(agent / campaign / platform)replacing the overlapping, unbounded, unenforced
sharingMode/sharedWith[].Working/scratch memory is marked explicitly out of scope (covered by RunControl
checkpoints).
Decision required
§6 (shared/collective scope) needs ratification: adopt the 3-level
scopemodel, or fall back to
agent-only as the conformance floor withcampaign/platformas an optional profile extension.Notes
MemoryRecordand its four ops are unchanged; new surfaces areadditive.
sharingMode/sharedWith[]deprecated (retained for back-compat).
