Implementation Reference
- src/memory-manager.js:677-723 (handler)Core handler function implementing graph traversal to find related memories using recursive SQL CTE query on memory_relationships table, traversing up to maxDepth levels, filtering by minimum strength threshold, and joining with memories table.async findRelatedMemories(memoryId, maxDepth = 2, minStrength = 0.3) { try { // Use recursive CTE to find related memories up to maxDepth const results = await this.db.execute(sql` WITH RECURSIVE memory_graph AS ( -- Base case: direct relationships SELECT mr.to_memory_id as memory_id, mr.relationship_type, mr.strength, 1 as depth, ARRAY[mr.from_memory_id] as path FROM memory_relationships mr WHERE mr.from_memory_id = ${memoryId} AND mr.strength >= ${minStrength} UNION ALL -- Recursive case: follow relationships SELECT mr.to_memory_id as memory_id, mr.relationship_type, mr.strength * mg.strength as strength, mg.depth + 1, mg.path || mr.from_memory_id FROM memory_relationships mr JOIN memory_graph mg ON mr.from_memory_id = mg.memory_id WHERE mg.depth < ${maxDepth} AND mr.strength >= ${minStrength} AND NOT (mr.to_memory_id = ANY(mg.path)) ) SELECT mg.*, m.content, m.type, m.importance FROM memory_graph mg JOIN memories m ON mg.memory_id = m.id WHERE m.status = 'active' ORDER BY mg.strength DESC, mg.depth ASC `); return results.rows || []; } catch (error) { console.warn('Related memories query failed:', error.message); return []; } }
