WARNING: body.memory_mode is written to the agent record with no validation — invalid values (e.g. "none", "invalid", "taOSmd") are silently persisted to disk.
The PATCH /api/agents/{slug}/memory handler at line 1283 correctly validates memory_mode against _VALID_MEMORY_MODES and returns 400 on bad input. The deploy endpoint should apply the same guard before calling save_config_locked.

WARNING: memory_mode=body.memory_mode is forwarded into DeployRequest without any guard, then injected as the TAOS_MEMORY_MODE env var in deployer.py:324.
If the missing validation at line 636 is fixed independently but this line is missed, an invalid value (e.g. from a direct API call bypassing the wizard) still becomes a live container environment variable with no error. Co-locate the validation or validate inside DeployRequest.__init__ so the deployer cannot receive a bad mode even if the route guard is bypassed.

WARNING: patch_agent_memory validates each field independently, allowing contradictory combinations to pass.
A request like {"memory_plugin": "none", "memory_mode": "taosmd"} satisfies both checks ("none" ∈ _VALID_MEMORY_PLUGINS, "taosmd" ∈ _VALID_MEMORY_MODES) but produces an impossible agent state: taOSmd is configured as the store but its plugin is disabled. The same contradiction exists for memory_plugin: "none" + memory_mode: "both".
Consider adding a cross-field check after the individual validators:
| if body.memory_mode is not None and body.memory_mode not in _VALID_MEMORY_MODES: | |
| if body.memory_plugin == "none" and body.memory_mode in ("taosmd", "both"): | |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Enforce memory_mode across all taOSmd setup paths.
framework mode promises native memory with no taOSmd. The wizard still retains taOSmd setup controls. The route still registers the agent with taOSmd before deployment. The deployer still injects taOSmd rules. A taOSmd outage can therefore block a framework-only deployment, and the deployed agent can still receive taOSmd instructions.

nemotron-super review VERDICT: Potential inconsistency between memory mode and memory layer configuration
Automated first-pass review by the nemotron-super lane. The lead still reviews before merge. |
…ATCH route
The routes rule fired because this PR modifies tinyagentos/routes/agents.py,
and it fired correctly: the PR adds a real agent-facing surface that was
undocumented. memory_mode on POST /api/agents/deploy, the three valid values,
the TAOS_MEMORY_MODE env injection, and the memory_mode field on
PATCH /api/agents/{slug}/memory including that it is optional and that omitting
it leaves the stored value alone.
Also recorded that config.py backfills older agent records to "both" on load,
since a reader would otherwise expect a missing key to behave as unset.
The changelog layer was already satisfied by
changelog.d/tsk-ge5cmt-complementary-memory.md.

Not merging this, and converting it to a draft. CI is fully green and that is not the blocker.All 22 checks are green, zero reds, zero cancellations, and the beads failure I chased earlier today was a genuine flake that did not recur. None of that describes the review surface. kilo and CodeRabbit posted nine inline comments on 2026-08-14, and every commit on this branch since then is a merge of I re-derived the main one from source rather than taking either bot's word for it. Must-fix 1:

… PATCH
PATCH /api/agents/{slug}/memory checked memory_mode against
_VALID_MEMORY_MODES from the start. POST /api/agents/deploy took a bare str,
persisted it to the agent record and injected it as the TAOS_MEMORY_MODE env
var, so any string reached the agent runtime as a mode no branch handles with
nothing failing at the boundary. The same field was guarded on one route and
unguarded on the other, in the same file.
Both routes now call _memory_selection_error, so a body rejected on one is
rejected on the other and the two cannot drift apart again. The helper also
checks the PAIR, not just each field: memory_plugin "none" with memory_mode
"taosmd" or "both" asks for taOSmd-backed memory with the taOSmd plugin
switched off, and validating the fields independently let that through.
Deploy rejects before any side effect, beside the existing non-chat-model
guard, so nothing is created on a bad request.
Tests cover both rejections plus a positive control asserting a valid mode
still deploys, without which the rejection tests would also pass against a
route that refused everything.
Documents that memory_mode "framework" is advisory today: it does not stop
taOSmd registration or AGENTS.md rule injection, both of which are gated on
the agent framework rather than on this field. Tracked as tsk-6tfpun.
Both must-fixes are done at

…d mode The pair check matched only the string "none", but the deploy wizard's "Skip memory for this agent" sends JSON null -- its state is typed "taosmd" | null and it never sends "none" at all. So the guard covered a value the real caller never produces and let through the one it does. Nothing downstream repairs a stored None: setdefault only fills a MISSING key and .get(k, default) returns the stored None, so prompt_assembly's == "taosmd" gate is False and the agent runs in memory_mode both/taosmd with no taOSmd rules in its prompt. Reachable from the default UI in two clicks: mode defaults to "both" and nothing resets it when the layer is skipped. The wizard renders the API error body, so the user now gets an actionable message instead of a silently incoherent agent. On PATCH memory_plugin is typed str, so None here is always an explicit "skipped", never an omitted field. Tests: null+taosmd rejected (proven red at 200 before the fix), plus a control that null+framework still deploys -- the one memory-free deploy the wizard actually offers.
…sing tool, stale repo Four review findings on the compiled manual, each traced to source. Separator: sections are stripped before joining, so "\n---" landed directly under the previous section's last prose line and Markdown parsed every one as a setext H2 rather than a thematic break (markdownlint MD003). Fixed in the generator, not the generated file: 14 setext-parsed separators before, 0 after. Privacy answer: claimed only cloud model calls leave the network while the offline answer four lines down lists downloads, installs, and update checks. Rewritten to separate user-data egress from other outbound activity. The anonymous-ping detail stays in 06-updates-privacy.md rather than being duplicated here. generate_image: the flow told the agent to call it and describe_image_capabilities referenced it, but it was absent from the tool list. Listed, pointing at the existing Image Prompting parameters instead of restating them. Repo name: the manual sent users to github.com/jaylfc/tinyagentos, which only resolves by redirect. Swept all 7 refs across 5 sources to jaylfc/taOS; both raw.githubusercontent URLs verified 200 before changing the install command. Compiled manual stays under the 18000-char injectability cap (17967).
All four review comments adjudicated — 3 fixed here, 1 already implemented, plus 2 adjacent defects cardedPushed 1.

[WARNING]: deploy_agent injects TAOS_MEMORY_MODE without validating req.memory_mode
The API route validates memory_mode before calling deploy_agent, but the deployer itself accepts any string and injects it directly into the container environment. Internal callers like redeploy_agents in tinyagentos/cluster/convert_to_lxc.py bypass the route by unpacking raw config dicts into DeployRequest(**cfg). A corrupted agents.json with an invalid memory_mode reaches the runtime silently.
Consider validating req.memory_mode in DeployRequest.__init__ or at the top of deploy_agent so all callers are protected.
Reply with @kilocode-bot fix it to have Kilo Code address this issue.
… naming one My previous commit broke tests/test_routes_agents.py::TestDeployMemoryConfig:: test_deploy_with_null_memory_plugin_accepted, an existing test whose docstring already states the semantics I relied on -- "memory_plugin: null skips taosmd for this agent" -- but which sends no memory_mode at all. memory_mode postdates memory_plugin. A client written before it sends `memory_plugin: null` alone and got rejected against the "both" default the SERVER chose, not the caller. That is a breaking change to a pre-existing contract over a contradiction nobody stated. So the pair check now only fires on an EXPLICIT contradiction. When the layer is skipped and memory_mode is absent from model_fields_set, the mode is derived as "framework" -- a derivation, not a guess: with no taOSmd plugin it is the only coherent mode left. The deploy wizard always names memory_mode, so Skip + "both" from the UI is still a 400 with an actionable message. The regressed test passes UNMODIFIED. It was not edited to accommodate this. Tests: derivation asserts the stored record shows "framework", not merely a 200 -- otherwise the incoherent pair would be stored rather than rejected and TAOS_MEMORY_MODE would still reach the runtime unbacked. Control asserts an explicit null+"both" is still refused, so the derivation cannot be widened into always-coerce without going red. Verified across every test file touching memory_plugin/memory_mode/deploy: 215 passed. The earlier miss was mine -- I ran four suites and never searched for test_routes_agents.py.

…ble in UI (#2428) When the user clicks 'Skip memory for this agent', memory_mode now snaps to 'framework' via a useEffect, and the 'both'/'taosmd' mode buttons are disabled with a 'needs the taOSmd memory layer' tooltip. The same guard is mirrored in the agent Settings memory tab, which now sends memory_mode: framework when switching the plugin off. The server-side validation from #2405 remains in place.
