Falls back to title-matching with `update_if_exists: true`.\n3. **Set `author`/`requestor`** to your name on every call (e.g., \"Claude Code\", \"archiver\"). On MCP, pass as parameters. On CLI, pass `--author`/`--author-type`/`--requestor` flags, or rely on `CEREFOX_AUTHOR_NAME`/`CEREFOX_AUTHOR_TYPE`/`CEREFOX_REQUESTOR_NAME` env vars set in the user's `.env`.\n4. **Use `document_id` from search results** `[id: uuid]` for get_document and list_versions.\n5. **Add metadata** -- at minimum `type` (\"decision-log\", \"research\", \"design-doc\") and `status` (\"active\", \"draft\").\n6. **Write structured Markdown** with H1/H2/H3 headings for good chunking and search.\n7. **Deletes are soft (recoverable); purge is web-UI-only.** If you decide to delete, surface it to the user (`I soft-deleted X — recoverable from the Cerefox web UI trash`). You cannot un-do your own delete from agent code by design.\n8. **Cross-doc links inside content**: **always use `[Text](document-uuid)`.** UUIDs are the only fully reliable link form — stable across title changes, never ambiguous, no encoding gotchas. Every `cerefox_search` result shows `[id: <uuid>]` after the title; grab it and use it. Title-based linking (`[Text](<Title With Spaces>)`) is fragile (breaks on colons, parens, ampersands, brackets — silently navigates to wrong page) — **don't write title-based links**; do an extra search to get the UUID instead. Repo-path forms (`[Text](docs/path.md)`) exist for repo-ingested files; don't construct manually. See `AGENT_GUIDE.md → Writing linkable content` for the full rule.\n9. **Concurrency: content updates require `expected_content_hash`.** Pass the `content_hash` you read (shown by `cerefox_get_document`, `cerefox_search`, and `cerefox_metadata_search`) when updating a document. If it's stale you get a **conflict** — re-read the document, merge your changes into the latest content, retry with the new hash. **Never resolve a conflict by overwriting blindly** — the current content includes another writer's work. `last_write_wins: true` skips the check; use it ONLY when an external source of truth makes conflicts meaningless (file re-sync), never to silence a conflict.\n10. **Search: prefer a few distinctive terms; heed `below confidence`.** When nothing clears the relevance threshold, `cerefox_search` returns the closest candidates prefixed with a `below confidence` warning instead of an empty set — that flag means **weak signal, not absent knowledge**: check the candidates' scores and titles before concluding the KB lacks the content. A truly empty response means nothing even weakly related exists.\n11. **Relations express how documents relate; lifecycle tells you if knowledge is still good.** Use `cerefox_set_relation` when one document supersedes, contradicts, references, or continues another. `supersedes` marks the target **superseded**; `contradicts` marks **both** stale; `related_to`/`duplicates`/`contradicts` are symmetric (both directions written). Any other type string is accepted without special behaviour. When a search result or `cerefox_get_relations` shows a neighbour marked `[superseded]` or `[stale]`, say so rather than presenting it as current.\n12. **Project memberships — non-destructive by default**: on `cerefox_ingest` updates, **`project_name` (singular) is a non-destructive add** (ensures membership, preserves others). Use **`project_names` (list)** when you want to set the doc's full project set in one call (destructive replace). For metadata-only project changes without writing content, use **`cerefox_set_document_projects(document_id, project_names)`** — that tool is the destructive-replace contract made explicit. Never call `cerefox_set_document_projects` with a single name when you mean \"add\" — that would REMOVE the doc from all other projects. When in doubt, use `cerefox_ingest` with singular `project_name`.\n\n## Update Workflow (ID-based -- preferred)\n\n```\nsearch(\"topic\") -> find doc [id: abc123] -> get_document(abc123) -> note its content_hash -> modify ->\ningest(title=\"Same Title\", content=\"...\", document_id=\"abc123\",\n expected_content_hash=\"<the hash you read>\", author=\"my-agent\")\n```\n\nOn a **conflict** error: get_document again (fresh content + fresh hash) -> merge your changes -> retry with the new hash.\n\n## Update Workflow (title-based -- fallback)\n\n```\nsearch(\"topic\") -> find doc (note its hash) -> modify ->\ningest(title=\"Same Title\", content=\"...\", update_if_exists=true,\n expected_content_hash=\"<the hash you read>\", author=\"my-agent\")\n```\n\n## Catch-Up Workflow\n\n```\nmetadata_search(metadata_filter={\"type\": \"decision-log\"}, updated_since=\"2026-03-28T00:00:00Z\")\n```\n\n## CLI fallback (when MCP is unavailable)\n\nIf `cerefox_search` is not in your tool list, your user has likely installed the Cerefox CLI. The canonical invocation is plain **`cerefox <subcommand>`** (the TypeScript CLI, installed via `npm install -g @cerefox/memory`). It uses a resource-verb shape (`cerefox document get`, `cerefox project list`, …).\n\nSame operations, same conventions. Full reference: [`docs/guides/cli.md`](docs/guides/cli.md). CLI flag names match MCP parameter names exactly (e.g. `metadata_filter` ↔ `--metadata-filter`); common flags also have single-letter short forms (`-f`, `-p`, `-c`, `-m`, `-u`, `-a`, `-r`). Use the canonical long name (what `--help` shows) or its short form — there are no long-form aliases like `--filter` or `--count`.\n\n| MCP tool | CLI |\n|---|---|\n| `cerefox_search` | `cerefox search \"<q>\" --requestor \"<your-name>\"` |\n| `cerefox_ingest` (paste) | `printf '...' \\| cerefox document ingest --paste --title \"<t>\" --author \"<your-name>\" --author-type agent` |\n| `cerefox_ingest` (update by ID) | `printf '...' \\| cerefox document ingest --paste --title \"<t>\" --document-id \"<uuid>\" --expected-content-hash \"<hash>\" --author \"<your-name>\" --author-type agent` |\n| `cerefox_get_document` | `cerefox document get <id> --version-id <vid> --requestor \"<your-name>\"` |\n| `cerefox_list_versions` | `cerefox document version list <id> --requestor \"<your-name>\"` |\n| `cerefox_list_projects` | `cerefox project list --requestor \"<your-name>\"` |\n| `cerefox_list_metadata_keys` | `cerefox metadata keys` |\n| `cerefox_set_relation` | Link two documents (`source --rel_type--> target`) | `source_id`, `target_id`, `rel_type` (required), `metadata`, `author` |\n| `cerefox_delete_relation` | Remove a relation | `source_id`, `target_id`, `rel_type` |\n| `cerefox_get_relations` | All relations touching a document, both directions | `document_id` |\n| `cerefox_get_neighbors` | Walk the graph along ONE relation type | `document_id`, `rel_type` (required), `depth`, `from_time`, `to_time`, `limit` |\n| `cerefox_metadata_search` | `cerefox metadata search --metadata-filter '<json>' --requestor \"<your-name>\"` (list a project: `cerefox document list --project <name>`) |\n| `cerefox_set_document_projects` | `cerefox document set-projects <id> <name...> --author \"<your-name>\" --author-type agent` (or `--clear` to remove all) |\n| `cerefox_get_audit_log` | `cerefox audit list --requestor \"<your-name>\"` (add `--json` for scripted access) |\n| `cerefox_get_help` | `cerefox guides show agent-quick-reference` (or `cerefox guides list` for the full bundled-docs index) |\n\n**Set identity on every call**, exactly as you would on MCP:\n- Writes (`document ingest`, `document ingest-dir`): `--author \"<your-name>\" --author-type agent`\n- Reads: `--requestor \"<your-name>\"`\n\nOr have your user set `CEREFOX_AUTHOR_NAME` / `CEREFOX_AUTHOR_TYPE` / `CEREFOX_REQUESTOR_NAME` in their `.env` to apply defaults once.\n";

  "Essential Rules": "## Essential Rules\n\n1. **Search before ingesting** -- check if the document exists first.\n2. **Prefer ID-based updates** -- pass `document_id` from search results for deterministic updates. Falls back to title-matching with `update_if_exists: true`.\n3. **Set `author`/`requestor`** to your name on every call (e.g., \"Claude Code\", \"archiver\"). On MCP, pass as parameters. On CLI, pass `--author`/`--author-type`/`--requestor` flags, or rely on `CEREFOX_AUTHOR_NAME`/`CEREFOX_AUTHOR_TYPE`/`CEREFOX_REQUESTOR_NAME` env vars set in the user's `.env`.\n4. **Use `document_id` from search results** `[id: uuid]` for get_document and list_versions.\n5. **Add metadata** -- at minimum `type` (\"decision-log\", \"research\", \"design-doc\") and `status` (\"active\", \"draft\").\n6. **Write structured Markdown** with H1/H2/H3 headings for good chunking and search.\n7. **Deletes are soft (recoverable); purge is web-UI-only.** If you decide to delete, surface it to the user (`I soft-deleted X — recoverable from the Cerefox web UI trash`). You cannot un-do your own delete from agent code by design.\n8. **Cross-doc links inside content**: **always use `[Text](document-uuid)`.** UUIDs are the only fully reliable link form — stable across title changes, never ambiguous, no encoding gotchas. Every `cerefox_search` result shows `[id: <uuid>]` after the title; grab it and use it. Title-based linking (`[Text](<Title With Spaces>)`) is fragile (breaks on colons, parens, ampersands, brackets — silently navigates to wrong page) — **don't write title-based links**; do an extra search to get the UUID instead. Repo-path forms (`[Text](docs/path.md)`) exist for repo-ingested files; don't construct manually. See `AGENT_GUIDE.md → Writing linkable content` for the full rule.\n9. **Concurrency: content updates require `expected_content_hash`.** Pass the `content_hash` you read (shown by `cerefox_get_document`, `cerefox_search`, and `cerefox_metadata_search`) when updating a document. If it's stale you get a **conflict** — re-read the document, merge your changes into the latest content, retry with the new hash. **Never resolve a conflict by overwriting blindly** — the current content includes another writer's work. `last_write_wins: true` skips the check; use it ONLY when an external source of truth makes conflicts meaningless (file re-sync), never to silence a conflict.\n10. **Search: prefer a few distinctive terms; heed `below confidence`.** When nothing clears the relevance threshold, `cerefox_search` returns the closest candidates prefixed with a `below confidence` warning instead of an empty set — that flag means **weak signal, not absent knowledge**: check the candidates' scores and titles before concluding the KB lacks the content. A truly empty response means nothing even weakly related exists.\n11. **Relations express how documents relate; lifecycle tells you if knowledge is still good.** Use `cerefox_set_relation` when one document supersedes, contradicts, references, or continues another. `supersedes` marks the target **superseded**; `contradicts` marks **both** stale; `related_to`/`duplicates`/`contradicts` are symmetric (both directions written). Any other type string is accepted without special behaviour. When a search result or `cerefox_get_relations` shows a neighbour marked `[superseded]` or `[stale]`, say so rather than presenting it as current.\n12. **Project memberships — non-destructive by default**: on `cerefox_ingest` updates, **`project_name` (singular) is a non-destructive add** (ensures membership, preserves others). Use **`project_names` (list)** when you want to set the doc's full project set in one call (destructive replace). For metadata-only project changes without writing content, use **`cerefox_set_document_projects(document_id, project_names)`** — that tool is the destructive-replace contract made explicit. Never call `cerefox_set_document_projects` with a single name when you mean \"add\" — that would REMOVE the doc from all other projects. When in doubt, use `cerefox_ingest` with singular `project_name`.",

8
+ -- an operator could set "keep everything" on their machine and still lose
9
+ -- versions the moment an agent running defaults saved a document. Retention
10
+ -- describes the data, so it belongs to the data.
11

12

14

15
+ -- version_cleanup_enabled (default true)
16
+ --
17
+ -- Passing an explicit value still overrides, for deliberate one-off admin
18
+ -- operations — but no caller supplies one by accident any more.
19
+ --
20
+ -- Adds `cerefox_config_int` / `cerefox_config_bool`, the integer and boolean
21
+ -- companions to the existing `cerefox_config_float`. Same contract: fall back
22
+ -- to the caller's default when the key is unset or unparseable, so a malformed
23
+ -- config row can never break a write path.
24
+ --
25
+ -- Unchanged, and worth restating because it bounds the risk of a long window:
26
+ -- cleanup NEVER deletes the most recent version, and never deletes a version
27
+ -- marked `archived`. Turning cleanup off keeps everything forever; leaving it
28
+ -- on with a long window still guarantees at least the latest version survives.
29
+ --
30
+ -- The functions live in `rpcs.sql`, which `cerefox server deploy` re-applies.
31
+ -- This migration exists so the schema version moves and operators are told to
32
+ -- redeploy — the change is inert until the RPCs are replaced.

37

38
+ -- Upgrading silently changes where retention comes from. An operator running
39
+ -- `CEREFOX_VERSION_CLEANUP_ENABLED=false` (or a long window) would, on their
40
+ -- very next save, fall back to the 48-hour default and lose the history they had
41
+ -- deliberately kept. The env var stops being read the moment the client updates,
42
+ -- which is before anyone reads a release note.
43
+ --
44
+ -- So this migration disables pruning on existing stores. Nothing is deleted;
45
+ -- cleanup simply does not run until the operator states a policy. Pruning is
46
+ -- irreversible and not-pruning is not, so the safe default during an unattended

53

578

579
+ > **Off by default.** The relation feature ships **dormant**: the four MCP
580
+ > relation tools are hidden from agents, and the CLI group is inert, until an
581
+ > operator opts in with `cerefox config set relations_enabled true` (or the
582
+ > **Settings** page in the web UI). The table and schema exist either way, so
583
+ > enabling and disabling are both non-destructive — turning it off hides the
584
+ > tools again without deleting a single edge.
585
+
586
+ **Purpose**: typed, directed links between documents — `source --rel_type--> target`.
587
+ `rel_type` is free text; a dictionary in SQL marks some types symmetric (setting
588
+ one direction implies the other, and deleting removes both).
589
+
590
+ **Synopsis**:
591
+ ```
592
+ cerefox relation set SOURCE_ID REL_TYPE TARGET_ID
593
+ cerefox relation delete SOURCE_ID REL_TYPE TARGET_ID
594
+ cerefox relation list DOCUMENT_ID # every relation touching it, both directions
595
+ cerefox relation neighbors DOCUMENT_ID REL_TYPE # walk the graph along one type
596
+ ```
597
+
598
+ **Notes**:
599
+
600
+ - `neighbors` walks to a bounded `--depth` and is cycle-safe: a document already
601
+ visited on the walk is not revisited, so a loop in the graph terminates rather
602
+ than recursing forever.
603
+ - Self-edges are rejected, as are edges to a document that does not exist.
604
+ - Deleting a document cascades to its edges; soft-deleting one hides them from
605
+ traversal without removing them, so a restore brings the graph back intact.
606
+ - Every write is recorded in the audit log (`relation-set`).
607
+
608
+ **Enabling it**:
609
+ ```
610
+ cerefox config set relations_enabled true # tools appear in every agent's list
611
+ cerefox config set relations_enabled false # hidden again; no data removed
612
+ ```
613
+
614
+ Agents see 10 tools with the flag off and 14 with it on. See
615
+ [`configuration.md`](configuration.md) for the full runtime-config surface.

154
- | `CEREFOX_MIN_SEARCH_SCORE` | `0.50` (`0.60` with the local embedder) | Minimum cosine similarity for hybrid and semantic search results (0.0–1.0). The default is embedder-aware: nomic scores unrelated text higher than OpenAI, so `CEREFOX_EMBEDDER=local` raises the floor to 0.60. In **hybrid search**, chunks that matched the FTS keyword operator (`@@`) always pass through regardless of their vector score — the threshold only filters vector-only results. In **semantic search**, all results are filtered. The pure **FTS search** mode is unaffected. Increase for stricter precision; decrease for wider recall. |
155
- | `CEREFOX_SEARCH_ALPHA` | `0.7` | Hybrid fusion weight (0.0–1.0): `1.0` = pure semantic, `0.0` = pure keyword. Applies to hybrid and document-mode search. Per-call override: `cerefox search --alpha`, or the `alpha` parameter on the `cerefox_search` MCP tool. |
156
- | `CEREFOX_MIN_TERM_COVERAGE` | *(unset — server default `0.5`)* | Confidence bar for the keyword OR-fallback (v1.0.4, schema ≥ 0.9.1): when a strict all-terms match fails and search relaxes to any-term matching, a result counts as a confident hit only if it matches at least this fraction of the query's meaningful terms; weaker matches surface as below-confidence candidates. `0` restores pre-gate behavior (any matching term passes); `1` requires every term. Per-call override: `cerefox search --min-term-coverage`. Leave unset against pre-0.9.1 servers. |
154
+ | `CEREFOX_MIN_SEARCH_SCORE` | **Retired in v1.1.0 — no longer read.** | Now a store setting: `cerefox config set min_search_score <value>`, or the **Settings** page. The right floor depends on which embedder produced the vectors, and the embedder belongs to the store — every client querying one database must use the same one. A per-call override still works (`cerefox search --min-score`, the MCP `min_score` param). `cerefox doctor` and the Settings page report the variable if it is still set. |

158
158
  | `CEREFOX_MODELS_DIR` | `~/.cerefox/models` (in-container: inside the data volume) | Where the local embedder caches downloaded model weights (Cerefox Local; `CEREFOX_EMBEDDER=local`). |
