 Agents deliberately save knowledge through shared internal MCP tools; there is no background transcript extraction or extra LLM turn. Workspace-bound tool calls derive actor, scope and write permission from a per-launch capability. It is revoked when stopping begins; bodies cannot forge human identity or widen workspace scope. External clients use the same service through `/api/mcp` HTTP or global stdio, explicitly select scopes, and receive `external-mcp` provenance (display name + transport). They need no native session. They cannot delete, approve, promote or bulk-clear memory.

Regular output stops at 5,500 to preserve a single 500-token terminal denial reserve; later exhausted MCP calls return `isError: true` and empty `content`.

 `auto_loop_messages` durably queues next-iteration instructions, independently of engine session ids. A dispatch interrupted before confirmed completion becomes `unknown`, requiring explicit acknowledgement or retry. Unknown or in-flight instructions prevent completion. Actual engine closure (`EngineProcess.closed`), not a logical end event alone, releases controller ownership and permits the next writer.

The existing `subagent:progress` envelope also carries this lifecycle metadata for compatibility; `local_bash`, `local_workflow` and `mcp_task` must be excluded from agent cards, busy-agent counts, chat agent-name resolution and the selective stop-subagents action. Keep tracking these jobs for engine liveness and whole-session interruption.

 ### External MCP dialogue and update checks
 
 `POST /api/mcp` exposes stateless Streamable HTTP discovery/dialogue tools, behind the existing Host/Origin and network-token gates. The global stdio server forwards dialogue calls through this backend so agent runtime ownership remains centralized. `workspace-message-service.ts` shares delivery with WebSocket chat.

 ### Bounded context and retrieval
 
-At launch, Kōbō adds a compact ranked index/excerpt within a **1,000 estimated-token** bootstrap target. Individual memory tool responses target **1,000 estimated tokens**, hard-cap at **1,500**, and a native conversation/context epoch has a **6,000 estimated-token** cumulative memory-output ceiling. These are conservative memory budgets, not provider context-window sizes or a measurement of total conversation occupancy. Serialized output—including JSON escaping, structured MCP content and framing—is also guarded by byte limits.
+The workspace creation prompt explicitly introduces the memory tools and their scope/mode restrictions. Unchanged resumes send neither repeated guidance nor an empty memory section and consume no bootstrap budget. Content-free fingerprints track guidance and scope/revision changes; a mode/permission change refreshes guidance, and confirmed compaction opens a new epoch. A new user message alone does **not** reset the budget. Previously consumed budget is not refunded. Empty tool errors receive a UI-only explanation without adding repeated text to the model's context.

These are conservative memory budgets, not provider context-window sizes or a measurement of total conversation occupancy. Serialized output—including JSON escaping, structured MCP content and framing—is also guarded by byte limits.
+
+Saving is independent of retrieval: `remember` and `list_memory_scopes` remain available even in an existing conversation whose retrieval budget is exhausted. Their responses contain only compact receipts/scope metadata, never saved bodies, are capped at 1,000 estimated tokens per call, and report `budget.chargedTokens: 0`. They do not spend or reset the retrieval ledger. This also applies to their validation errors and to external MCP. Manual/read-only restrictions, Hybrid proposals, scope permissions, revocation and revision/generation checks still apply. These control replies are **not** covered by the cumulative retrieval ceiling; repeated calls still add small messages to the model context, so agents should not poll or repeat unchanged writes.
 
 The index may omit entries; it reports omission counts and agents can retrieve relevant notes with bounded search/read tools. Large note bodies use explicit character-range fragments and stable cursors. Listing/search returns compact metadata for unchanged entries; explicit full reads/fragments consume budget. Resume does not blindly resend unchanged notes: only new/changed material and a compact reminder may be added within the remaining allowance. A confirmed compaction starts a new memory epoch. Unknown or failed dispatches are charged conservatively; Kōbō does not automatically replay them.
 
-The native conversation ledger allows up to **5,500 tokens of regular memory output** and retains a **500-token terminal-receipt reserve**, for a hard **6,000-token cumulative** ceiling. One bounded exhaustion/denial response may use that reserve; later exhausted MCP calls return `isError: true` with an empty `content` array instead of repeating a free error indefinitely. Internal `/api/memory/agent` callers receive a small suppression marker so the workspace bridge can emit the same empty MCP error response. Each final serialized envelope also has a separate **12,000-byte hard ceiling** and includes **96 bytes of framing headroom** in its charge.

Each final serialized envelope also has a separate **12,000-byte hard ceiling** and includes **96 bytes of framing headroom** in its charge.
 
 An external MCP client uses the same memory tools and current database via `/api/mcp` HTTP or the global stdio server. `list_memory_scopes` returns each selectable scope's ID, level, generation and revision; use the current generation in `remember` and rediscover after a clear/conflict. External clients choose their target explicitly and do not need a bound workspace or native engine session. In Manual mode external writes are denied; Hybrid applies workspace writes and proposes broader changes; Automatic applies the requested scope. External provenance records a display client name and HTTP/stdio transport, not an authenticated identity. No delete, approve or clear tool is exposed to MCP clients.
 
-Because `/api/mcp` is stateless, an external client should reuse the opaque `memory_context_id` returned by memory calls to carry its cumulative allowance across tool calls. External regular responses share the 5,500-token allowance and a single bounded 500-token denial reserve; after the one terminal denial, later calls return `isError: true` and empty `content`. The handle is budget bookkeeping, not authentication; it cannot reference an internal native-conversation ledger. Kōbō cannot observe an external model's full context or compaction, so it cannot infer that a new ID means an empty LLM context. Keep the same ID for one external conversation and start a new one only when appropriate. Mutation calls are not retried automatically; after an uncertain result, inspect the receipt/state before deciding whether to retry.

 The workspace-scoped MCP capability is read-only for plan/review/report launches and is revoked as soon as stopping begins. Its token limits attribution and scope within Kōbō; it is not an operating-system sandbox for an agent with broader tools. See the [MCP memory tool guide](./src/mcp-server/README.md#persistent-memory-tools) for arguments and result details.
