remember_fact and propose_plan wrote their rows during the tool round. An
answer that was then blocked, failed or abandoned left the fact in memory
without its note and Undo, and left the plan listed, activatable and fed
into later turns and the briefing. Both are now staged under an id minted
up front and written in the transaction that stores the assistant message,
only when its provenance carries them. A background proposal counts as
offered only once an answer carrying it is stored.
Plan text is model text: ifCue, thenAction and target pass the outbound
dose and risk screen in the person's locale, with their scheduled doses and
medication names, and the injection screen; a trip declines as "unsafe".
The trail route serves recalled facts and the proposal's fact to the owner
whatever the AI capability (only the model-written entries are gated), and
withholds medication facts while the medications module is off.
Accepting a fact proposal is decided under a per-message advisory lock, so
concurrent taps write one fact. Editing a fact re-reads its wording: text
naming a medication moves to "medication", other health wording moves a
non-health fact to "condition", and a health fact the person edited counts
as confirmed.
What a person told the Coach never reached a tool-mode turn: facts and plans
rode the snapshot's memory block, which tool mode does not send, and the
extraction ran only past twenty turns and failed to parse on every
non-Codex chain, because the status chain runs in JSON-object mode while the
prompt asked for a bare array.
- Memory block: WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS PERSON, built per turn behind the
wire egress check (nothing is read on a refusal), fenced as data, at most
1,500 characters, never trimmed before the inventory. Confirmed facts
first, then the newest; active plans with a server-computed progress line;
reminders the person asked for. Medication facts stay out while the
medications module is off. Building it stamps last_used_at without moving
updated_at. buildCoachToolRequest and buildCoachProviderPrompts take it as
an optional memoryBlock; the snapshot memory keeps only the narrative and
trend recall.
- remember_fact: preferences, goals and context are saved at once
(source coach, source_message_id set); anything that names a condition,
limitation or medication, by category or by wording, is only proposed.
A fact must come from the person's current message; one note per answer.
- The person's answer reads the proposed fact from the encrypted trail on
the assistant message, never from the request.
- propose_plan writes a proposed plan; the tap activates it with its review
window counted from the tap. One per answer, three open at most.
- Progress: one sentence per active plan from the person's own day series
and units, also offered to the briefing (two lines at most, behind the
briefing capability). The plan review and the progress line read a step
plan as daily totals instead of per-sample means.
- Background extraction asks for {"facts":[]} / {"plans":[]} and reads
either shape, runs once a conversation has been quiet for 30 minutes, and
stores health facts as proposals offered once at the next turn.
- Unanswered plan and fact proposals lapse after 14 days in the reminder
sweep.
- Memory list API: POST saves one of the caller's own messages (the
remember button), PATCH edits a fact's wording, GET reports source, origin
and last use and never lists a waiting proposal.
- A structural guard keeps the egress check ahead of every read and the
callers of both builders to the turn and the briefing.
