问题

海马体合并记忆时静默失败,日志报 Failed to merge memory <id>,新信息丢失。

跟 LLM 速度无关 —— merge_facts() 的超时路径有分号拼接兜底,不会走到写入层。真正原因是提取 LLM 在 JSON 的 tags 数组里吐出 null

根因

deduplicate_and_store() 在合并时把 LLM 提取的 tags union 进旧记忆:

existing_tags = set(matched.tags)
existing_tags.update(tags)          # tags 里混进了 None
matched.tags = list(existing_tags)

这个 None 会同时打掉两条写入路径:

  1. TOML 侧 —— _sync_write_toml() 直接调 tomli_w.dumps(),没走 _clean_for_toml()(旁边的 _sync_write_toml_to_path() 走了,注释还写着「TOML 不支持 None」):

    Failed to update memory xxx: Object of type 'NoneType' is not TOML serializable
    
  2. 索引侧 —— MemoryIndex.upsert()" ".join(tags or [])

    Failed to update memory xxx: sequence item 0: expected str instance, NoneType found
    

两种情况下 update_memory() 都会 catch 住异常返回 False,于是 extractor 打出 Failed to merge memory <id> 并丢弃合并结果 —— 用户感知为「相近的信息没有被合并进已有记忆」。

间歇性发作:只在 LLM 恰好吐 null 的那几轮触发,所以看起来像是随机/性能问题。

修复

  • _sync_write_toml() 补上 _clean_for_toml(),和它的姊妹函数对齐
  • MemoryIndex.upsert() 和 rebuild 路径把 tags 过滤为非空字符串
  • deduplicate_and_store() 在源头就丢掉非字符串 tag,避免脏标签进入记忆

三处都改是因为它们是独立的失败点:源头过滤挡住新数据,两个写入层的防御则保护已经落盘的历史脏数据(rebuild 路径会重新读到)。

验证

新增回归测试 test_update_memory_survives_null_tags_from_llm。这个测试是有效闸门 —— 把任一 writer 的修复回退掉它就会失败,并复现出报告里那条一模一样的日志:

$ git stash push memory/memory_index.py memory/toml_tree_store.py
$ pytest -k null_tags
ERROR  Failed to update memory 周武住在杭州_16cda1f6: Object of type 'NoneType' is not TOML serializable
FAILED tests/test_storage_layer.py::test_update_memory_survives_null_tags_from_llm

全量测试 72/72 通过(新增 1 个)。整个复现和验证过程不需要真实 LLM / API key。

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug 修复

    • 改进标签数据处理,自动过滤空值、空白内容及非文本项,避免记忆写入失败。
    • 修复包含空值时的记忆更新问题,确保合并结果可正常保存和读取。
    • 优化 TOML 数据保存,自动清理不支持的空值,提升更新成功率。
  • 测试

    • 新增覆盖异常标签数据的更新场景测试,验证有效标签能够正确保留。

deduplicate_and_store() unions LLM-extracted tags into the matched memory
before calling update_memory(). When the extraction LLM returns a JSON array
containing null, that None lands in Memory.tags and takes down both writers:

  * _sync_write_toml() called tomli_w.dumps() without _clean_for_toml(),
    unlike its sibling _sync_write_toml_to_path() -> 'Object of type
    NoneType is not TOML serializable'
  * MemoryIndex.upsert() did ' '.join(tags) -> 'sequence item 0: expected
    str instance, NoneType found'

Either way update_memory() caught the exception and returned False, so the
extractor logged 'Failed to merge memory <id>' and the merged text was
dropped -- the new information never reached disk. Intermittent by nature:
only fires on the turns where the LLM happens to emit a null.

Not a timeout: the merge_facts() timeout path has a semicolon-join fallback
and never reaches the writer with a broken value.

Fixes:
  * _sync_write_toml() now runs _clean_for_toml() like its sibling
  * MemoryIndex.upsert() and rebuild filter tags to non-empty strings
  * deduplicate_and_store() drops non-string tags at the source

Adds a regression test that fails with either writer fix reverted.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 35a3a

The patch fixes LLM-generated null tags in the main write path, but malformed or non-list tags can still cause merges or index rebuilds to fail, losing updates, while TOML and SQLite may retain different tag sets; the normalization gaps should be addressed before merging.

Greptile Summary

This PR prevents malformed LLM-generated tags from silently aborting memory merges.

  • Introduces shared tag normalization across extraction, TOML persistence, and SQLite indexing.
  • Cleans unsupported TOML values before serialization.
  • Adds regression coverage for null and otherwise invalid tags and verifies TOML/index consistency.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
memory/memory_extractor.py Normalizes both existing and extracted tags before merging, preventing malformed values from aborting the batch.
memory/memory_index.py Centralizes list-tag validation and applies it consistently during upsert and filesystem rebuild.
memory/toml_tree_store.py Normalizes tags and recursively removes TOML-incompatible values before atomic serialization.
tests/test_storage_layer.py Adds regression tests covering null and invalid tags and agreement between TOML and SQLite representations.

same non-empty-string tag normalization used by MemoryIndex.upsert(), removing
empty and whitespace-only labels before serialization. Reuse the existing
normalization logic rather than introducing divergent rules, and add or update
the regression assertion to verify empty-string tags are absent from the TOML
output.

CodeRabbit review 的三条意见:

1. extractor 合并处过滤顺序错误。`set(matched.tags)` 先于过滤执行,
   TOML 里手工写进去的 dict/list 会在集合运算那一步抛 unhashable
   TypeError。fact 循环外面只有 hippocampus_process 一个大 try,
   所以异常不是丢一个 tag,而是本批剩余 facts 连同升维反思、画像
   更新一起被吞掉。

2. TOML 与 SQLite 存出不同的 tag 集合。`_clean_for_toml` 只剥 None,
   索引侧 upsert 还过滤非字符串和空白项,同一次 update_memory 两边
   落不同数据,重建索引后集合再漂一次。

3. 规则散落在四处。收敛为 memory_index.normalize_tags(),放在三者
   最深的公共依赖上,零新文件、零循环导入。upsert、
   rebuild_from_filesystem、_sync_write_toml、extractor merge 全部
   改为调用它。非 list 容器整体视为空,避免字符串被逐字符拆成垃圾 tag。

_clean_for_toml 保留,它还负责 source 等其它字段里的 None。

测试:补上原先缺失的空字符串断言,并新增 TOML/索引一致性回归。
两条测试在源码改动单独 stash 后均失败,修复后通过。73 passed。
