Willem Jiang b5fcb1334a fix(memory): inject stored facts into system prompt memory context (#1083)
* fix(memory): inject stored facts into system prompt memory context

- add Facts section rendering in format_memory_for_injection
- rank facts by confidence and coerce confidence values safely
- enforce max token budget while appending fact lines
- add regression tests for fact inclusion, ordering, and budget behavior

Fixes #1059

* Update the document with the latest status

* fix(memory): harden fact injection — NaN/inf confidence, None content, incremental token budget (#1090)

* Initial plan

* fix(memory): address review feedback on confidence coercion, None content, and token budget

# Memory System Improvements
This document tracks memory injection behavior and roadmap status.
## Status (As Of 2026-03-10)
Implemented in `main`:
- Accurate token counting via `tiktoken` in `format_memory_for_injection`.
- Facts are injected into prompt memory context.
- Facts are ranked by confidence (descending).
- Injection respects `max_injection_tokens` budget.
Planned / not yet merged:
- TF-IDF similarity-based fact retrieval.
- `current_context` input for context-aware scoring.
- Configurable similarity/confidence weights (`similarity_weight`, `confidence_weight`).
- Middleware/runtime wiring for context-aware retrieval before each model call.
## Current Behavior
Function today:
```python
def format_memory_for_injection(memory_data: dict[str, Any], max_tokens: int = 2000) -> str:
```
Current injection format:
- `User Context` section from `user.*.summary`
- `History` section from `history.*.summary`
- `Facts` section from `facts[]`, sorted by confidence, appended until token budget is reached
Token counting:
- Uses `tiktoken` (`cl100k_base`) when available
- Falls back to `len(text) // 4` if tokenizer import fails
## Known Gap
Previous versions of this document described TF-IDF/context-aware retrieval as if it were already shipped.
That was not accurate for `main` and caused confusion.
Issue reference: `#1059`
## Roadmap (Planned)
Planned scoring strategy:
```text
final_score = (similarity * 0.6) + (confidence * 0.4)
```
Planned integration shape:
1. Extract recent conversational context from filtered user/final-assistant turns.
2. Compute TF-IDF cosine similarity between each fact and current context.
3. Rank by weighted score and inject under token budget.
4. Fall back to confidence-only ranking if context is unavailable.
## Validation
Current regression coverage includes:
- facts inclusion in memory injection output
- confidence ordering
- token-budget-limited fact inclusion
