# ๐Ÿง  Implement Memory System for BrowserOS Agent

## Overview
This PR implements a comprehensive memory system that enables the BrowserOS agent to maintain context across browser sessions, learn from user interactions, and provide personalized experiences. The memory system uses Mem0 for cloud-based persistent storage and integrates seamlessly with the existing tool architecture.

## ๐ŸŽฏ What This Adds
- **Persistent Memory**: Agent remembers important information across sessions
- **Task Continuity**: Complex workflows can be resumed and continued
- **User Personalization**: Learns and remembers user preferences
- **Pattern Learning**: Stores successful interaction patterns for reuse
- **Context Sharing**: Share information between tabs and browsing sessions

## ๐Ÿ”ง Technical Implementation

### Memory Configuration
The memory system can be configured through environment variables:

```bash
# Enable/disable the entire memory system
MEMORY_ENABLED="true" # Default: true (memory enabled)
MEMORY_ENABLED="false" # Completely disables memory system

# API key for cloud storage (required when memory is enabled)
MEM0_API_KEY="your-mem0-api-key"
```

**Configuration Behavior:**
- When `MEMORY_ENABLED="false"`: MemoryManager is not created, all memory operations return graceful error messages
- When `MEMORY_ENABLED="true"` but no `MEM0_API_KEY`: Memory system is disabled due to missing API key
- When both are properly set: Full memory system functionality is available

### Core Components Added
- **MemoryManager**: Central memory management with Mem0 integration
- **Memory Tools**: Two new tools for storing and retrieving information
- `memory_tool`: Core memory operations (add, search, get_context, store_result, get_preferences)
- **Memory Categories**: Structured categorization system for different types of information

### Architecture Changes
```

โ”œโ”€โ”€ MemoryTool.test.ts # Unit tests for memory tool functionality
โ””โ”€โ”€ memory-flag-integration.test.ts # Integration tests for environment variables
```

### Tool Integration
- Memory tools follow the same pattern as existing tools
- Integrated into `BrowserAgent` tool registry
- Tool descriptions include comprehensive usage prompts
- Self-contained prompts within tool descriptions (no global prompt pollution)

## ๐ŸŽฌ Demo Video
[Attach your recorded video here showing the memory system in action]

## ๐Ÿš€ Key Features

### Memory Categories
- `search_result` - Information found through searches
- `user_preference` - User's stated preferences and requirements
- `task_result` - Intermediate results from task steps
- `interaction_pattern` - Successful UI interaction sequences
- `workflow_pattern` - Successful task completion patterns
- `error_solution` - Solutions to encountered problems
- `research_data` - Collected research information
- `context_data` - General contextual information

### Automatic Memory Triggers
The agent automatically uses memory when users say:
- "save this", "remember that", "store this information"
- "what did I search for before?", "my usual preferences"
- "continue where I left off", "like last time"
- Any reference to past interactions or personalization

### Example Usage
```javascript
// Store user preferences
memory_tool({
action: "add",
content: "User prefers window seats, budget under $500",
category: "user_preference",
importance: 0.9
})

// Search for relevant context
memory_tool({
action: "search",
query: "flight booking preferences",
limit: 5
})

// Store task results for continuation
memory_tool({
action: "store_result",
content: "Found 3 flight options: AA $299, Delta $349, United $399"
})
```

### Error Handling When Disabled
When `MEMORY_ENABLED="false"`, memory operations return helpful error messages:
```json
{
"ok": false,
"error": "Memory system is not initialized. Set MEM0_API_KEY environment variable to enable memory."
}
```

## ๐Ÿ”„ Changes Made

### Files Added
- `src/lib/memory/` - Complete memory system implementation
- `src/lib/tools/memory/` - Memory tools and prompts
- `src/lib/tools/memory/MemoryTool.test.ts` - Comprehensive unit tests for memory tool
- `src/lib/tools/memory/memory-flag-integration.test.ts` - Integration tests for environment variable behavior

### Files Modified
- `src/lib/agent/BrowserAgent.ts` - Added memory tool registration
- `src/lib/tools/index.ts` - Export memory tools
- `src/lib/runtime/ExecutionContext.ts` - Memory manager integration
- `package.json` - Added `mem0ai` and `uuid` dependencies

### Environment Variables
- `MEM0_API_KEY` - Required for cloud memory storage (optional, graceful fallback if not provided)
- `MEMORY_ENABLED` - Global flag to enable/disable the memory system (`"true"` or `"false"`, defaults to `true`)

## ๐Ÿงช Testing

### Test Coverage
The memory system includes comprehensive test suites that verify both functionality and configuration behavior:

#### **MemoryTool.test.ts (6 tests)**
- โœ… **Memory System Enabled**: Tests successful memory operations when MemoryManager is available
- โœ… **Memory System Disabled**: Tests graceful error handling when MemoryManager is null
- โœ… **Real-World Scenarios**: Uses actual `initializeMemorySystem` function to test production-like behavior
- Tests `MEMORY_ENABLED=false` scenario with proper initialization flow
- Tests missing API key scenario with environment variable handling
- โœ… **Environment Variable Integration**: Tests `MEMORY_ENABLED` flag behavior

#### **memory-flag-integration.test.ts (7 tests)**
- โœ… **Environment Variable Manipulation**: Tests actual env var setting/restoration
- โœ… **Config Integration**: Tests `getMemoryConfig()` with different environment states
- โœ… **Real `initializeMemorySystem` Testing**: Tests actual function behavior with environment variables
- โœ… **API Key Precedence**: Tests priority of passed vs environment API keys
- โœ… **Debug Flag Testing**: Tests `MEMORY_DEBUG` environment variable

### Test Results
- โœ… **Total Tests**: 8 tests across both test files
- โœ… Build system updated and compiling successfully
- โœ… Memory tools properly registered and exported
- โœ… Tool descriptions include comprehensive prompts
- โœ… Graceful fallback when memory is disabled
- โœ… Global memory enable/disable flag (`MEMORY_ENABLED`) properly tested
- โœ… Memory system respects environment configuration
- โœ… Real-world scenario testing with `initializeMemorySystem`
- โœ… TypeScript compilation without errors

### Running the Tests
```bash
# Run all memory-related tests
npm test -- --run src/lib/tools/memory/

# Run specific test files
npm test -- --run src/lib/tools/memory/MemoryTool.test.ts
npm test -- --run src/lib/tools/memory/memory-flag-integration.test.ts
```

**Sample Test Output:**
```
โœ“ MemoryTool (4)
โœ“ Memory System Enabled (1)
โœ“ should successfully add memory when memory manager is available
โœ“ Memory System Disabled (1)
โœ“ should return error when memory manager is not available (disabled)
โœ“ Global Memory Flag Tests - Real World Scenarios (2)
โœ“ should use initializeMemorySystem to test MEMORY_ENABLED=false scenario
โœ“ should use initializeMemorySystem to test no API key scenario
โœ“ MEMORY_ENABLED Environment Variable Tests (2)
โœ“ should respect MEMORY_ENABLED=false environment variable
โœ“ should respect MEMORY_ENABLED=true environment variable

Test Files 2 passed (2)
Tests 8 passed (8)
```

## ๐ŸŽจ Design Decisions

### Tool-First Approach
- Memory prompts are embedded in tool descriptions rather than global system prompt
- Follows existing tool architecture patterns
- Self-contained and modular design

### Graceful Degradation
- Agent works normally when `MEM0_API_KEY` is not provided
- Memory system can be completely disabled with `MEMORY_ENABLED="false"`
- Memory operations return helpful error messages when system is disabled
- No breaking changes to existing functionality

### Clean Architecture
- Memory system is completely optional and modular
- Can be entirely disabled via `MEMORY_ENABLED="false"` environment variable
- Existing tools and workflows unaffected
- Clear separation of concerns
- Graceful error handling when disabled

## ๐Ÿ”ฎ Future Enhancements
- Local storage fallback for offline memory
- Memory analytics and insights
- Smart memory cleanup and optimization
- Cross-user memory sharing (with permissions)
- Integration with browser bookmarks and history

## ๐Ÿ“š Documentation
- Comprehensive tool prompts with examples
- Clear activation patterns for automatic memory usage
- Structured memory categories for consistent organization

## ๐Ÿ”Œ MCP SERVER INTEGRATION
You have access to MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that provide direct API access to external services.

### CRITICAL: Three-Step Process (NEVER SKIP STEPS)
When users ask about emails, videos, documents, calendars, repositories, or other external services:

### CRITICAL: MEMORY FIRST, MCP SECOND
**ALWAYS check memory_tool FIRST when user asks about personal/saved data**
**ONLY use MCP when user explicitly mentions these EXACT services:**

### ๐ŸŽฏ MCP ACTIVATION TRIGGERS (Must Be Explicit):
**Use MCP ONLY when user specifically mentions:**
- **Gmail/Email**: "check my Gmail", "my emails", "inbox", "send email"
- **YouTube**: "my YouTube videos", "YouTube channel", "upload to YouTube"
- **GitHub**: "my GitHub repos", "GitHub repository", "commit to GitHub"
- **Slack**: "Slack messages", "Slack channels", "post to Slack"
- **Google Calendar**: "my calendar", "Google Calendar", "schedule meeting"
- **Google Drive**: "my Google Drive", "Drive files", "upload to Drive"
- **Notion**: "my Notion pages", "Notion workspace", "create Notion page"
- **Linear**: "Linear issues", "Linear tickets", "create Linear issue"

### ๐Ÿšซ DO NOT USE MCP FOR:
- Generic terms: "books", "documents", "files", "videos", "music"
- "My saved [anything]" โ†’ This is ALWAYS memory, never MCP
- "Suggest from my [anything]" โ†’ This is ALWAYS memory, never MCP
- "My preferences" โ†’ This is ALWAYS memory, never MCP
- User mentions platforms but doesn't want live data (e.g., "like the book I saved from Goodreads")

### CRITICAL: Three-Step Process for MCP Integration (ONLY after explicit service mention)
**๐Ÿ”ด STEP 1: MANDATORY - Check Installed MCP Servers**
- Use: mcp_tool with action: 'getUserInstances'
- Returns: List of installed servers with their instance IDs
- Example response: { instances: [{ id: 'a146178c-e0c8-416c-96cd-6fbe809e0cf8', name: 'Gmail', authenticated: true }] }
- SAVE the instance ID for next steps

**๐Ÿ”ด STEP 2: MANDATORY - Get Available Tools (NEVER SKIP THIS)**
- Use: mcp_tool with action: 'listTools', instanceId: [EXACT ID from step 1]
- Returns: List of available tools for that server
- Example response: { tools: [{ name: 'gmail_search', description: 'Search emails' }, { name: 'gmail_send', description: 'Send email' }] }
- DO NOT GUESS TOOL NAMES - you MUST get them from listTools

**๐Ÿ”ด STEP 3: Call the Tool**

### ๐Ÿ“Š STATE MANAGEMENT
**Browser state is INTERNAL** - appears in <BrowserState> tags for your reference only

### ๐Ÿ’พ PERSISTENT STORAGE
**Use storage_tool for remembering information across steps:**
- Store extracted data: \`storage_tool({ action: 'set', key: 'prices', value: [{item: 'laptop', price: 999}] })\`
- Retrieve later: \`storage_tool({ action: 'get', key: 'prices' })\`
- Perfect for: collecting data from multiple pages, maintaining context, comparing items

**When to use storage_tool:**
- Extracting data from multiple tabs/pages for comparison
- Remembering user preferences or inputs
- Storing intermediate results during complex tasks
- Maintaining context between related actions

## ๐Ÿ“… DATE & TIME HANDLING
**Use date_tool for getting current date or calculating date ranges:**
