## Overview
This workplan implements Phase 1 of ADR 009: Schema Enhancement
- Add optional multi-tenancy fields to MemoryContext
- Create conditional indexes for multi-tenant mode
- Implement configuration system
- Maintain 100% backward compatibility with single-user deployments
**Architecture Decision**: Hybrid multi-tenancy with optional authentication
- Single-tenant mode by default (zero impact on existing users)
- Multi-tenant mode opt-in via configuration
- Progressive enhancement approach

## Future Phases (Reference)
This workplan implements only Phase 1 of ADR 009. Future phases:
**Phase 2: Query Layer (v0.10.0)** - Separate workplan needed
- Implement multi-tenant query filters
- Add visibility enforcement to all tools
- Create tenant-aware search methods
**Phase 3: Authentication Integration (v1.0.0)** - Separate workplan needed
- JWT token validation
- OAuth2 provider integration
- MCP protocol extension for auth context
**Phase 4: Advanced RBAC (v1.1.0)** - Separate workplan needed
- Role-based permissions
- Fine-grained access control
- Audit logging
---
## Notes
- This workplan maintains 100% backward compatibility
- Single-tenant mode has ZERO overhead (no new indexes, no new query logic)
- Multi-tenant mode is opt-in via environment variable
- Phase 1 is schema foundation only (no auth, no query filtering yet)
- Comprehensive testing ensures no regressions
- Performance target: < 10% overhead in multi-tenant mode
- Estimated time: 4-5 days
- Should be preceded by thorough testing of Phases 1-4 workplans
