Daily job multiplies confidence by 0.97 (~2-month half-life) for
active memories with reference_count=0 AND idle > 30 days. Below
0.3 → auto-supersede with audit. Reversible via reinforcement
(which already bumps confidence back up).
Rationale: stale memories currently rank equal to fresh ones in
retrieval. Without decay, the brain accumulates obsolete facts
that compete with fresh knowledge for context-pack slots. With
decay, memories earn their longevity via reference.
- decay_unreferenced_memories() in service.py (stdlib-only, no cron
infra needed)
- POST /admin/memory/decay-run endpoint
- Nightly Step F4 in batch-extract.sh
- Exempt: reinforced (refcount > 0), graduated, superseded, invalid
- Audit row per supersession ("decayed below floor, no references"),
actor="confidence-decay". Per-decay rows skipped (chatty, no
human value — status change is the meaningful signal).
- Configurable via env: ATOCORE_DECAY_* (exposed through endpoint body)
Tests: +13 (basic decay, reinforcement protection, supersede at floor,
audit trail, graduated/superseded exemption, reinforcement reversibility,
threshold tuning, parameter validation, cross-run stacking).
401 → 414.
Next in Phase 7: 7C tag canonicalization (weekly), then 7B contradiction
detection.

AtoCore
Personal context engine that enriches LLM interactions with durable memory, structured context, and project knowledge.
Quick Start
pip install -e .
uvicorn src.atocore.main:app --port 8100
Usage
# Ingest markdown files
curl -X POST http://localhost:8100/ingest \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"path": "/path/to/notes"}'
# Build enriched context for a prompt
curl -X POST http://localhost:8100/context/build \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"prompt": "What is the project status?", "project": "myproject"}'
# CLI ingestion
python scripts/ingest_folder.py --path /path/to/notes
# Live operator client
python scripts/atocore_client.py health
python scripts/atocore_client.py audit-query "gigabit" 5

Architecture
FastAPI (port 8100)
|- Ingestion: markdown -> parse -> chunk -> embed -> store
|- Retrieval: query -> embed -> vector search -> rank
|- Context Builder: retrieve -> boost -> budget -> format
|- SQLite (documents, chunks, memories, projects, interactions)
'- ChromaDB (vector embeddings)
Configuration
Set via environment variables (prefix ATOCORE_):
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ATOCORE_DEBUG | false | Enable debug logging |
| ATOCORE_PORT | 8100 | Server port |
| ATOCORE_CHUNK_MAX_SIZE | 800 | Max chunk size (chars) |
| ATOCORE_CONTEXT_BUDGET | 3000 | Context pack budget (chars) |
| ATOCORE_EMBEDDING_MODEL | paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2 | Embedding model |
Testing
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Operations
scripts/atocore_client.pyprovides a live API client for project refresh, project-state inspection, and retrieval-quality audits.docs/operations.mdcaptures the current operational priority order: retrieval quality, Wave 2 trusted-operational ingestion, AtoDrive scoping, and restore validation.
