Auto-triage was rejecting 8 of 10 OpenClaw imports as 'session log'
or 'process rule belongs elsewhere'. But OpenClaw's SOUL.md, USER.md,
MEMORY.md and daily memory/*.md files are already curated — they ARE
the canonical continuity layer we want to absorb. Applying the
conservative LLM-conversation triage bar to them discards the signal
the importer was designed to capture.
Triage prompt now has a rule 4: when candidate content starts with
'From OpenClaw/' apply a much lower bar. Session events, project
updates, stakeholder notes, and decisions from daily memory files
should promote, not reject.
The ABB-Space Schott quote that DID promote was the lucky exception
— after this fix, the other 7 daily notes (CDR execution log,
Discord migration plan, isogrid research, etc.) will promote too.

Three small improvements that move the operational baseline forward
without changing the existing trust model.
1. Tunable retrieval ranking weights
- rank_project_match_boost, rank_query_token_step,
rank_query_token_cap, rank_path_high_signal_boost,
rank_path_low_signal_penalty are now Settings fields
- all overridable via ATOCORE_* env vars
- retriever no longer hard-codes 2.0 / 1.18 / 0.72 / 0.08 / 1.32
- lets ranking be tuned per environment as Wave 1 is exercised
without code changes
2. /projects/{name}/refresh status
- refresh_registered_project now returns an overall status field
("ingested", "partial", "nothing_to_ingest") plus roots_ingested
and roots_skipped counters
- ProjectRefreshResponse advertises the new fields so callers can
rely on them
- covers the case where every configured root is missing on disk
3. Chroma cold snapshot + admin backup endpoints
- create_runtime_backup now accepts include_chroma and writes a
cold directory copy of the chroma persistence path
- new list_runtime_backups() and validate_backup() helpers
- new endpoints:
- POST /admin/backup create snapshot (optional chroma)
- GET /admin/backup list snapshots
- GET /admin/backup/{stamp}/validate structural validation
- chroma snapshots are taken under exclusive_ingestion() so a refresh
or ingest cannot race with the cold copy
- backup metadata records what was actually included and how big
Tests:
- 8 new tests covering tunable weights, refresh status branches
(ingested / partial / nothing_to_ingest), chroma snapshot, list,
validate, and the API endpoints (including the lock-acquisition path)
- existing fake refresh stubs in test_api_storage.py updated for the
expanded ProjectRefreshResponse model
- full suite: 105 passing (was 97)
next-steps doc updated to reflect that the chroma snapshot + restore
validation gap from current-state.md is now closed in code; only the
operational retention policy remains.
