- Line 38: Update all public methods in the LivingBrain implementation,
including the method returning Self and the additional flagged methods, to use
the crate-level Result<T> alias instead of anyhow::Result. Extend the crate’s
thiserror Error enum in src/error/mod.rs with variants for validation and
transport failures, map each failure to the appropriate typed variant, and add
deterministic tests covering every new variant.
- Line 251: Update validate_path_segment to reject the exact "." and ".." values
before applying the allowed-character check, preventing Url::join normalization
from changing the target route. Add tests covering both rejected path segments
while preserving validation for other permitted segments.
In `@crates/tinymemory/Cargo.toml`:
- Line 102: Remove livingbrain from the engines list while keeping it declared
as a standalone feature. Ensure the remaining engines continue to represent only
bindable MemoryProvider adapters recognized by DriverRegistry::builtin().
In `@docs/specs/livingbrain-remote-api.md`:
- Line 76: Add the missing LivingBrain capture_batch method and corresponding
test for POST /v1/brains/{brainId}/captures/batch, ensuring it submits a bounded
batch and returns the service’s per-source outcome; if the operation is not
implemented, instead mark the specification entry as proposed or remove it.
In `@README.md`:
- Around line 364-371: Wrap the capture example in an async function returning
anyhow::Result, such as capture_note, so the await on LivingBrain::capture is
valid; bind the result as _receipt and finish with Ok(()), preserving the
existing capture request fields.

Reject mixed optional fields even when one value is blank.
Capture::validate treats a blank field as absent, but Capture::to_json still sends that field. For example, content: Some(" ") with a valid fetch_url passes validation and sends both content and fetchUrl.
Require exactly one field to be Some, then validate that selected field is non-blank. Add cases for blank content plus fetch_url, and blank fetch_url plus content.

| **Status:** Accepted | |||
There was a problem hiding this comment.
A repo-wide rg search finds no LivingBrain plan under docs/plans/, even though this new specification is marked Accepted and the implementation is delivered in the same commit. Add the required linked, implementation-ordered plan so the accepted behavior is traceable to the implementation sequence.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a request or its headers are formatted by diagnostics or middleware, this plain HeaderValue renders the configured subject ID because, unlike credential_header, it is never marked sensitive. That contradicts the accepted specification's requirement that neither required header value appear in Debug; set the sensitive flag before storing the subject header.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Although the single-capture retry was fixed, this separate chat-turn branch still hard-codes one attempt even when turn.origin_ref is present and documented as a stable deduplication ID. In that case a transient 429/502/503/504 or timeout returns immediately rather than using the accepted bounded retry policy; select attempts from turn.origin_ref as capture does.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
v1.15.2 carries tinyhumansai/tinymemory#144, which makes `MemoryMaintenance::backfill_connector_trees` ask the ingest gate before it charges its limit. Against 1.15.1 the walk re-examines the same `limit` already-filed documents on every call and never reaches the rest, which is why the Sources page's "Repair older memories" button reports "Filed 0 (500 already there). More remain." forever (#6051). Nothing in the host changes: the button, the RPC and the wire types are the same, and the numbers they show become honest once the module behind them moves. A patch bump: no contract member was added. The release also carries tinyhumansai/tinymemory#143 (the remote API), which touches nothing the host pins. Four pins move together, as they must: - `vendor/tinymemory` -> the v1.15.2 commit (258d9e5 -> 9143fe1) - the registry descriptor: version, release_url, and all 11 platform assets with the checksums the release published - `ARTIFACT_CAPABILITIES_PIN` - `memory_version` / `memory_sha256` in ci-full.yml, ci-lite.yml and e2e-reusable.yml (4 sites), which pin the ubuntu-22.04-x86_64 archive independently of the registry Verified rather than assumed: v1.15.2 has #144's merge (f1c234b) as an ancestor; all 11 checksums were taken from the release's own checksum.toml with each archive name and its digest rewritten as one unit; `git diff v1.15.1..v1.15.2 -- crates/tinymemory-api/src/capabilities.rs` is empty, so the advertised family list is unchanged; both Cargo.lock files resolve `--locked` against the new checkout; and the two pin tests (`the_capability_list_matches_the_pinned_release`, `the_ci_workflows_pin_the_same_module_digest_as_the_registry`) pass.

Summary
Adds an optional
livingbrainfacade feature and a brain-scoped LivingBrain HTTP client. It supports capture, chat-turn classification, semantic search, page and graph reads, source-status inspection, markdown export, and temporary-source cleanup without claiming the exact-recordMemoryProvidercontract.The shared transport now attaches the required sensitive bearer token and
x-subject-idheader. The client defaults to the reachable public API gateway.Related issue
None.
API or behavior changes
Adds the non-breaking public
tinymemory::remote::LivingBrainclient and its typed capture, chat, search, and export types behind thelivingbrainfeature. It is explicitly not aMemoryProviderengine.Validation
cargo fmt --all -- --checkcargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warningscargo build --all-targets --all-featurescargo test --all-featuresTests
Added a local simulated LivingBrain API test covering required headers, document capture, chat-turn classification, semantic recall, page and graph reads, source status, export, and source cleanup.
Also ran a live test against a user-provided brain: document capture was accepted, source status reached
compiling, semantic recall returned a hit, and the temporary source was deleted. The conversation endpoint correctly classified the deliberately low-value temporary turn as not worthy of retention.Documentation
Adds the accepted LivingBrain remote Brain API specification and documents feature usage in the root README.
