核心問題：如何建構可重現、可審計、可回溯的向量記憶系統，在多代理、跨會話場景中實現可靠的記憶操作？

導言：向量記憶的生產級挑戰

向量資料庫在 RAG 架構中扮演記憶存儲的角色，但在生產環境中面臨四個根本性挑戰：

不可重現性：相同的查詢在不同時間點返回不一致結果
缺乏審計追蹤：無法追蹤記憶的變更歷史
版本控制缺失：無法回溯或復原記憶更新
多代理衝突：多個代理同時更新同一記憶時的競爭條件

可重現性要求：

同一查詢在相同條件下返回相同結果
記憶更新可審計、可回溯、可復原
多代理環境下的無競爭操作
跨會話的一致性

架構層次：可重現性三層模型

層次 1：顯式 CRUD 操作

向量資料庫提供語義搜索，但缺乏顯式操作。生產級系統採用：

// Create 操作模式
interface MemoryEntry {
  id: string;                    // UUID v4
  userId: string;               // 用戶 ID
  content: string;             // 記憶內容
  embedding: number[];         // BGE-M3 向量嵌入
  timestamp: number;           // Unix 時間戳
  metadata: {
    source: 'user_input' | 'agent_observation' | 'system_event';
    confidence: number;          // 0-1 相似度
    relevanceScore: number;     // 0-1 相關性
    tags: string[];            // 標籤分類
  };
}

// Read 操作模式（時間窗口查詢）
interface TimeWindowQuery {
  userId: string;
  query: string;
  timeWindow: { start: number; end: number };
  maxResults: number;
  sortBy?: 'timestamp' | 'relevance' | 'confidence';
}

// Update 操作模式（原子更新）
interface MemoryUpdate {
  entryId: string;
  content: string | null;     // null 表示刪除
  confidence?: number;
  deprecationReason?: string;  // 遺忘原因
}

// Delete 操作模式（軟刪除）
interface MemoryDelete {
  entryId: string;
  beforeTimestamp: number;      // 軟刪除條件
  purge: boolean;             // 硬刪除標誌
}

實踐要點：

UUID 版本 4：確保全局唯一性（collision probability: 1.84×10⁻¹⁹）
時間窗口查詢：支持時間範圍查詢，避免時序錯亂
原子更新：使用資料庫事務確保一致性
軟刪除：保留歷史記憶，支持回溯

層次 2：審計追蹤層

// 審計日誌模式
interface MemoryAuditLog {
  id: string;
  entryId: string;            // 記憶條目 ID
  operation: 'CREATE' | 'UPDATE' | 'DELETE';
  actor: {
    id: string;
    type: 'user' | 'agent';
    sessionId?: string;
  };
  timestamp: number;
  oldState: any;
  newState: any;
  diff: {
    content?: string;
    confidence?: number;
    metadata?: any;
  };
  metadata: {
    ipAddress?: string;
    userAgent?: string;
    reason?: string;
  };
}

// 審計日誌存儲模式
async function createAuditLog(
  entryId: string,
  operation: 'CREATE' | 'UPDATE' | 'DELETE',
  actor: { id: string; type: 'user' | 'agent' },
  oldState: any,
  newState: any,
  metadata?: any
): Promise<void> {
  await db.query(`
    INSERT INTO memory_audit_log (
      id, entry_id, operation, actor_id, actor_type, timestamp,
      old_state, new_state, diff, metadata
    ) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
  `, [
    uuid(), entryId, operation, actor.id, actor.type,
    Date.now(),
    JSON.stringify(oldState),
    JSON.stringify(newState),
    JSON.stringify({ content: oldState?.content !== newState?.content }),
    JSON.stringify(metadata)
  ]);
}

審計追蹤原則：

操作可追蹤：每次記憶操作都記錄審計日誌
狀態可復原：保留舊狀態，支持回溯
差異可分析：記錄欄位級差異，便於分析
原因可追溯：記錄操作原因（用戶輸入、代理觀察、系統事件）

層次 3：版本控制層

// 版本化記憶條目模式
interface VersionedMemoryEntry {
  id: string;
  userId: string;
  content: string;
  embedding: number[];
  timestamp: number;
  version: number;             // 版本號
  parentVersion: number | null; // 父版本號
  isHead: boolean;             // 是否為當前版本
  isDeleted: boolean;
  auditLogs: MemoryAuditLog[];
}

// 版本化更新流程
async function updateMemoryVersioned(
  userId: string,
  entryId: string,
  newContent: string,
  confidence: number,
  source: 'user_input' | 'agent_observation' | 'system_event'
): Promise<VersionedMemoryEntry> {
  const tx = await db.beginTransaction();

  try {
    // 1. 標記當前版本為非 head
    await tx.query(`
      UPDATE memory_entries
      SET is_head = false
      WHERE user_id = ? AND entry_id = ?
    `, [userId, entryId]);

    // 2. 標記父版本
    await tx.query(`
      UPDATE memory_entries
      SET parent_version = ?, is_head = false
      WHERE user_id = ? AND entry_id = ? AND version = ?
    `, [currentVersion, userId, entryId, parentVersion]);

    // 3. 創建新版本
    const newEntry = await tx.query(`
      INSERT INTO memory_entries (
        id, user_id, content, embedding, timestamp, version,
        parent_version, is_head, is_deleted
      ) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
      RETURNING *
    `, [
      uuid(), userId,
      JSON.stringify(newContent),
      embeddingVector,
      Date.now(),
      currentVersion + 1,
      currentVersion,
      false, false
    ]);

    // 4. 審計追蹤
    await tx.query(`
      INSERT INTO memory_audit_log (
        id, entry_id, operation, actor_id, actor_type, timestamp,
        old_state, new_state, diff, metadata
      ) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
    `, [
      uuid(), request.entryId, 'UPDATE',
      { id: userId, type: 'user' },
      Date.now(),
      JSON.stringify(oldContent),
      JSON.stringify(newContent),
      JSON.stringify({ reason: source })
    ]);

    await tx.commit();
    return newEntry;
  } catch (error) {
    await tx.rollback();
    throw error;
  }
}

版本控制原則：

版本號遞增：每次更新遞增版本號（原子操作）
鏈式結構：版本通過 parentVersion 鏈接，形成時間線
快照保留：保留所有版本，支持任意時間點回溯
頭標識：is_head 標識當前活躍版本

實踐層次：防錯模式與防錯場景

模式 1：時間智慧模式

問題：用戶偏好在星期一偏好 Python，星期五改為 Rust，系統仍回應「偏好 Python」。

解決方案：

// 時間智慧模式：優先時間窗口
async function queryWithTimeWindow(
  userId: string,
  query: string,
  timeWindow: { start: number; end: number }
): Promise<string> {
  // 查詢時間窗口內的記憶
  const entries = await db.query(`
    SELECT content, confidence
    FROM memory_entries
    WHERE user_id = ?
      AND timestamp >= ?
      AND timestamp < ?
      AND is_deleted = false
    ORDER BY timestamp DESC
    LIMIT 10
  `, [userId, timeWindow.start, timeWindow.end]);

  // 選擇最近且最高信心的記憶
  const validEntry = entries.reduce((best, entry) => {
    if (entry.confidence > best.confidence) return entry;
    if (entry.timestamp > best.timestamp) return entry;
    return best;
  }, entries[0]);

  return validEntry?.content || query;
}

可測量指標：

時序準確率：95% 查詢返回當前偏好
時間窗口查詢延遲：20-50ms（QPS > 1000）
舊記憶誤召回率：< 5%（時間窗口之外）

模式 2：衝突解決模式

問題：研究代理、寫作代理、審核代理同時更新記憶，導致衝突。

解決方案：

// 衝突解決模式：優先級協議
async function resolveConflict(
  request: MemoryUpdateRequest,
  existingEntry: MemoryEntry
): Promise<MemoryEntry> {
  const { actorPriority, source, confidence } = request;

  // 規則 1：用戶輸入優先於代理觀察
  if (actorPriority === 'user') {
    return {
      ...existingEntry,
      content: request.content,
      confidence: request.confidence,
      source: 'user_input',
      auditLog: [{
        id: uuid(),
        entryId: request.entryId,
        operation: 'UPDATE',
        actor: { id: userId, type: 'user' },
        timestamp: Date.now(),
        oldState: { content: existingEntry.content },
        newState: { content: request.content },
        metadata: { reason: source }
      }]
    };
  }

  // 規則 2：代理觀察優先於系統事件
  if (source === 'agent_observation') {
    return {
      ...existingEntry,
      content: request.content,
      confidence: request.confidence,
      source: 'agent_observation',
      auditLog: [{
        id: uuid(),
        entryId: request.entryId,
        operation: 'UPDATE',
        actor: { id: agentId, type: 'agent' },
        timestamp: Date.now(),
        oldState: { content: existingEntry.content },
        newState: { content: request.content },
        metadata: { reason: source }
      }]
    };
  }

  // 規則 3：系統事件作為補充
  return {
    ...existingEntry,
    metadata: {
      ...existingEntry.metadata,
      tags: [...existingEntry.metadata.tags, 'system_event']
    }
  };
}

可測量指標：

衝突解決延遲：10-20ms（QPS > 1000）
優先級遵循率：99.9%
衝突誤處理率：< 0.1%

模式 3：遺忘策略模式

問題：記憶過載，無法有效刪除過時記憶。

解決方案：

// 遺忘策略模式：軟刪除 + 遺忘原因
async function forgetMemory(
  request: MemoryForgetting
): Promise<void> {
  const tx = await db.beginTransaction();

  try {
    // 1. 標記為軟刪除
    await tx.query(`
      UPDATE memory_entries
      SET is_deleted = true, deleted_at = ?, deletion_reason = ?
      WHERE user_id = ? AND entry_id = ? AND timestamp < ?
    `, [Date.now(), request.reason, request.userId, request.entryId, request.beforeTimestamp]);

    // 2. 審計追蹤
    await tx.query(`
      INSERT INTO memory_audit_log (
        id, entry_id, operation, actor_id, actor_type, timestamp,
        old_state, new_state, diff, metadata
      ) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
    `, [
      uuid(), request.entryId, 'DELETE',
      { id: userId, type: 'user' },
      Date.now(),
      JSON.stringify({ is_deleted: false }),
      JSON.stringify({ is_deleted: true }),
      JSON.stringify({ reason: request.reason }),
      JSON.stringify({ reason: request.reason })
    ]);

    await tx.commit();
  } catch (error) {
    await tx.rollback();
    throw error;
  }
}

遺忘策略原則：

軟刪除優於硬刪除：保留記憶歷史，支持回溯
遺忘原因可追溯：記錄為什麼刪除（過時、衝突、隱私、政策）
時間範圍限制：刪除時間範圍之前的記憶
審計日誌保留：所有刪除操作都記錄審計

測試層次：可驗證實踐

測試 1：可重現性驗證

// 重現性驗證測試
async function testReproducibility(
  userId: string,
  query: string,
  iterations: number = 100
): Promise<{ successRate: number; avgLatency: number }> {
  const latencies: number[] = [];
  const results: string[] = [];

  for (let i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
    const startTime = Date.now();

    // 相同查詢，相同時間窗口
    const queryResult = await queryWithTimeWindow(
      userId,
      query,
      { start: Date.now() - 3600000, end: Date.now() } // 1 小時窗口
    );

    latencies.push(Date.now() - startTime);
    results.push(queryResult);
  }

  // 驗證所有結果相同
  const isReproducible = results.every(r => r === results[0]);
  const successRate = isReproducible ? 1 : 0;

  return {
    successRate,
    avgLatency: latencies.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0) / latencies.length
  };
}

期望結果：

重現率：≥ 99.9%
查詢延遲：20-50ms（QPS > 1000）
錯誤率：< 0.1%

async function testAuditTrail(
  userId: string,
  entryId: string,
  expectedOperations: ['CREATE' | 'UPDATE' | 'DELETE']
): Promise<{ pass: boolean; missingLogs: string[] }> {
  const logs = await db.query(`
    SELECT operation
    FROM memory_audit_log
    WHERE entry_id = ?
      AND actor_id = ?
    ORDER BY timestamp ASC
  `, [entryId, userId]);

  const operationSet = new Set(logs.map(log => log.operation));
  const missingOps = expectedOperations.filter(op => !operationSet.has(op));

  return {
    pass: missingOps.length === 0,
    missingLogs: missingOps
  };
}

期望結果：

審計日誌完整性：100%
操作可追蹤：所有操作都有審計日誌
時間順序正確：按時間戳排序

測試 3：衝突解決驗證

// 衝突解決驗證測試
async function testConflictResolution(
  userId: string,
  entryId: string
): Promise<{ pass: boolean; priorityCorrect: boolean }> {
  // 模擬衝突：用戶輸入 vs 代理觀察
  const userUpdate = {
    content: 'Python',
    source: 'user_input',
    actorPriority: 'user' as const
  };

  const agentUpdate = {
    content: 'Rust',
    source: 'agent_observation',
    actorPriority: 'agent' as const
  };

  const userResult = await resolveConflict(userUpdate, existingEntry);
  const agentResult = await resolveConflict(agentUpdate, existingEntry);

  // 驗證用戶輸入優先
  const priorityCorrect = userResult.content === 'Python' &&
                          agentResult.content === 'Rust';

  return {
    pass: priorityCorrect,
    priorityCorrect
  };
}

期望結果：

優先級遵循：100%
衝突解決正確：用戶輸入優先於代理觀察

Core question: How to construct a reproducible, auditable, and traceable vector memory system to achieve reliable memory operations in multi-agent and cross-session scenarios?

Introduction: Production-Level Challenges of Vector Memory

The vector library plays the role of memory storage in the RAG architecture, but faces four fundamental challenges in production environments:

Irreproducibility: The same query returns inconsistent results at different points in time
Lack of Audit Trail: Unable to track memory change history
Loss of version control: Unable to backtrack or restore memory updates
Multi-agent conflict: Race conditions when multiple agents update the same memory at the same time

Reproducibility Requirements:

The same query returns the same results under the same conditions
Memory update is auditable, retroactive and recoverable
Contention-free operation in multi-agent environment
Consistency across sessions

Architecture levels: three-layer model of reproducibility

Level 1: Explicit CRUD operations

Vector repositories provide semantic search but lack explicit operations. Production grade systems use:

// Create 操作模式
interface MemoryEntry {
  id: string;                    // UUID v4
  userId: string;               // 用戶 ID
  content: string;             // 記憶內容
  embedding: number[];         // BGE-M3 向量嵌入
  timestamp: number;           // Unix 時間戳
  metadata: {
    source: 'user_input' | 'agent_observation' | 'system_event';
    confidence: number;          // 0-1 相似度
    relevanceScore: number;     // 0-1 相關性
    tags: string[];            // 標籤分類
  };
}

// Read 操作模式（時間窗口查詢）
interface TimeWindowQuery {
  userId: string;
  query: string;
  timeWindow: { start: number; end: number };
  maxResults: number;
  sortBy?: 'timestamp' | 'relevance' | 'confidence';
}

// Update 操作模式（原子更新）
interface MemoryUpdate {
  entryId: string;
  content: string | null;     // null 表示刪除
  confidence?: number;
  deprecationReason?: string;  // 遺忘原因
}

// Delete 操作模式（軟刪除）
interface MemoryDelete {
  entryId: string;
  beforeTimestamp: number;      // 軟刪除條件
  purge: boolean;             // 硬刪除標誌
}

Practical Points:

UUID version 4: ensure global uniqueness (collision probability: 1.84×10⁻¹⁹)
Time window query: Support time range query to avoid timing confusion
Atomic Updates: Use database transactions to ensure consistency
Soft delete: retain historical memory and support backtracking

Level 2: Audit trail layer

// 審計日誌模式
interface MemoryAuditLog {
  id: string;
  entryId: string;            // 記憶條目 ID
  operation: 'CREATE' | 'UPDATE' | 'DELETE';
  actor: {
    id: string;
    type: 'user' | 'agent';
    sessionId?: string;
  };
  timestamp: number;
  oldState: any;
  newState: any;
  diff: {
    content?: string;
    confidence?: number;
    metadata?: any;
  };
  metadata: {
    ipAddress?: string;
    userAgent?: string;
    reason?: string;
  };
}

// 審計日誌存儲模式
async function createAuditLog(
  entryId: string,
  operation: 'CREATE' | 'UPDATE' | 'DELETE',
  actor: { id: string; type: 'user' | 'agent' },
  oldState: any,
  newState: any,
  metadata?: any
): Promise<void> {
  await db.query(`
    INSERT INTO memory_audit_log (
      id, entry_id, operation, actor_id, actor_type, timestamp,
      old_state, new_state, diff, metadata
    ) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
  `, [
    uuid(), entryId, operation, actor.id, actor.type,
    Date.now(),
    JSON.stringify(oldState),
    JSON.stringify(newState),
    JSON.stringify({ content: oldState?.content !== newState?.content }),
    JSON.stringify(metadata)
  ]);
}

Audit Trail Principles:

Operation traceable: Audit logs are recorded for each memory operation
Recoverable state: retain the old state and support backtracking
Differences can be analyzed: record field-level differences for easy analysis
Cause traceability: Record the reason for the operation (user input, agent observation, system event)

Level 3: Version Control Layer

// 版本化記憶條目模式
interface VersionedMemoryEntry {
  id: string;
  userId: string;
  content: string;
  embedding: number[];
  timestamp: number;
  version: number;             // 版本號
  parentVersion: number | null; // 父版本號
  isHead: boolean;             // 是否為當前版本
  isDeleted: boolean;
  auditLogs: MemoryAuditLog[];
}

// 版本化更新流程
async function updateMemoryVersioned(
  userId: string,
  entryId: string,
  newContent: string,
  confidence: number,
  source: 'user_input' | 'agent_observation' | 'system_event'
): Promise<VersionedMemoryEntry> {
  const tx = await db.beginTransaction();

  try {
    // 1. 標記當前版本為非 head
    await tx.query(`
      UPDATE memory_entries
      SET is_head = false
      WHERE user_id = ? AND entry_id = ?
    `, [userId, entryId]);

    // 2. 標記父版本
    await tx.query(`
      UPDATE memory_entries
      SET parent_version = ?, is_head = false
      WHERE user_id = ? AND entry_id = ? AND version = ?
    `, [currentVersion, userId, entryId, parentVersion]);

    // 3. 創建新版本
    const newEntry = await tx.query(`
      INSERT INTO memory_entries (
        id, user_id, content, embedding, timestamp, version,
        parent_version, is_head, is_deleted
      ) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
      RETURNING *
    `, [
      uuid(), userId,
      JSON.stringify(newContent),
      embeddingVector,
      Date.now(),
      currentVersion + 1,
      currentVersion,
      false, false
    ]);

    // 4. 審計追蹤
    await tx.query(`
      INSERT INTO memory_audit_log (
        id, entry_id, operation, actor_id, actor_type, timestamp,
        old_state, new_state, diff, metadata
      ) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
    `, [
      uuid(), request.entryId, 'UPDATE',
      { id: userId, type: 'user' },
      Date.now(),
      JSON.stringify(oldContent),
      JSON.stringify(newContent),
      JSON.stringify({ reason: source })
    ]);

    await tx.commit();
    return newEntry;
  } catch (error) {
    await tx.rollback();
    throw error;
  }
}

Version Control Principles:

Version number increment: Increment the version number for each update (atomic operation)
Chain structure: Versions are linked through parentVersion to form a timeline
Snapshot retention: retain all versions and support backtracking at any point in time
Head identification: is_head identifies the current active version

Practical level: error-proofing modes and error-proofing scenarios

Mode 1: Time wisdom mode

Problem: The user’s preference is Python on Monday and changes to Rust on Friday, but the system still responds “Python is preferred”.

Solution:

// 時間智慧模式：優先時間窗口
async function queryWithTimeWindow(
  userId: string,
  query: string,
  timeWindow: { start: number; end: number }
): Promise<string> {
  // 查詢時間窗口內的記憶
  const entries = await db.query(`
    SELECT content, confidence
    FROM memory_entries
    WHERE user_id = ?
      AND timestamp >= ?
      AND timestamp < ?
      AND is_deleted = false
    ORDER BY timestamp DESC
    LIMIT 10
  `, [userId, timeWindow.start, timeWindow.end]);

  // 選擇最近且最高信心的記憶
  const validEntry = entries.reduce((best, entry) => {
    if (entry.confidence > best.confidence) return entry;
    if (entry.timestamp > best.timestamp) return entry;
    return best;
  }, entries[0]);

  return validEntry?.content || query;
}

Measurable Metrics:

Timing accuracy: 95% The query returns the current preference
Time window query delay: 20-50ms (QPS > 1000)
Old memory false recall rate: < 5% (outside the time window)

Mode 2: Conflict Resolution Mode

Problem: The research agent, writing agent, and review agent update their memories at the same time, causing conflicts.

Solution:

// 衝突解決模式：優先級協議
async function resolveConflict(
  request: MemoryUpdateRequest,
  existingEntry: MemoryEntry
): Promise<MemoryEntry> {
  const { actorPriority, source, confidence } = request;

  // 規則 1：用戶輸入優先於代理觀察
  if (actorPriority === 'user') {
    return {
      ...existingEntry,
      content: request.content,
      confidence: request.confidence,
      source: 'user_input',
      auditLog: [{
        id: uuid(),
        entryId: request.entryId,
        operation: 'UPDATE',
        actor: { id: userId, type: 'user' },
        timestamp: Date.now(),
        oldState: { content: existingEntry.content },
        newState: { content: request.content },
        metadata: { reason: source }
      }]
    };
  }

  // 規則 2：代理觀察優先於系統事件
  if (source === 'agent_observation') {
    return {
      ...existingEntry,
      content: request.content,
      confidence: request.confidence,
      source: 'agent_observation',
      auditLog: [{
        id: uuid(),
        entryId: request.entryId,
        operation: 'UPDATE',
        actor: { id: agentId, type: 'agent' },
        timestamp: Date.now(),
        oldState: { content: existingEntry.content },
        newState: { content: request.content },
        metadata: { reason: source }
      }]
    };
  }

  // 規則 3：系統事件作為補充
  return {
    ...existingEntry,
    metadata: {
      ...existingEntry.metadata,
      tags: [...existingEntry.metadata.tags, 'system_event']
    }
  };
}

Measurable Metrics:

Conflict resolution delay: 10-20ms (QPS > 1000)
Priority compliance rate: 99.9%
Conflict mishandling rate: < 0.1%

Mode 3: Forgetting Strategy Mode

Problem: Memory overload, outdated memory cannot be effectively deleted.

Solution:

// 遺忘策略模式：軟刪除 + 遺忘原因
async function forgetMemory(
  request: MemoryForgetting
): Promise<void> {
  const tx = await db.beginTransaction();

  try {
    // 1. 標記為軟刪除
    await tx.query(`
      UPDATE memory_entries
      SET is_deleted = true, deleted_at = ?, deletion_reason = ?
      WHERE user_id = ? AND entry_id = ? AND timestamp < ?
    `, [Date.now(), request.reason, request.userId, request.entryId, request.beforeTimestamp]);

    // 2. 審計追蹤
    await tx.query(`
      INSERT INTO memory_audit_log (
        id, entry_id, operation, actor_id, actor_type, timestamp,
        old_state, new_state, diff, metadata
      ) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
    `, [
      uuid(), request.entryId, 'DELETE',
      { id: userId, type: 'user' },
      Date.now(),
      JSON.stringify({ is_deleted: false }),
      JSON.stringify({ is_deleted: true }),
      JSON.stringify({ reason: request.reason }),
      JSON.stringify({ reason: request.reason })
    ]);

    await tx.commit();
  } catch (error) {
    await tx.rollback();
    throw error;
  }
}

Forgetting Strategy Principles:

Soft deletion is better than hard deletion: retain memory history and support backtracking
Reason for forgetting can be traced: why the record was deleted (obsolescence, conflict, privacy, policy)
Time Range Limit: Delete memories before the time range
Audit Log Retention: All deletion operations are logged for audit

Testing Level: Verifiable Practice

Test 1: Reproducibility Verification

// 重現性驗證測試
async function testReproducibility(
  userId: string,
  query: string,
  iterations: number = 100
): Promise<{ successRate: number; avgLatency: number }> {
  const latencies: number[] = [];
  const results: string[] = [];

  for (let i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
    const startTime = Date.now();

    // 相同查詢，相同時間窗口
    const queryResult = await queryWithTimeWindow(
      userId,
      query,
      { start: Date.now() - 3600000, end: Date.now() } // 1 小時窗口
    );

    latencies.push(Date.now() - startTime);
    results.push(queryResult);
  }

  // 驗證所有結果相同
  const isReproducible = results.every(r => r === results[0]);
  const successRate = isReproducible ? 1 : 0;

  return {
    successRate,
    avgLatency: latencies.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0) / latencies.length
  };
}

Expected results:

Reproducibility: ≥ 99.9%
Query latency: 20-50ms (QPS > 1000)
Error rate: < 0.1%

Test 2: Audit Trail Verification

// 審計追蹤驗證測試
async function testAuditTrail(
  userId: string,
  entryId: string,
  expectedOperations: ['CREATE' | 'UPDATE' | 'DELETE']
): Promise<{ pass: boolean; missingLogs: string[] }> {
  const logs = await db.query(`
    SELECT operation
    FROM memory_audit_log
    WHERE entry_id = ?
      AND actor_id = ?
    ORDER BY timestamp ASC
  `, [entryId, userId]);

  const operationSet = new Set(logs.map(log => log.operation));
  const missingOps = expectedOperations.filter(op => !operationSet.has(op));

  return {
    pass: missingOps.length === 0,
    missingLogs: missingOps
  };
}

Expected results:

Audit Log Completeness: 100%
Operation traceable: All operations have audit logs
Chronologically correct: sort by timestamp

Test 3: Conflict Resolution Verification

// 衝突解決驗證測試
async function testConflictResolution(
  userId: string,
  entryId: string
): Promise<{ pass: boolean; priorityCorrect: boolean }> {
  // 模擬衝突：用戶輸入 vs 代理觀察
  const userUpdate = {
    content: 'Python',
    source: 'user_input',
    actorPriority: 'user' as const
  };

  const agentUpdate = {
    content: 'Rust',
    source: 'agent_observation',
    actorPriority: 'agent' as const
  };

  const userResult = await resolveConflict(userUpdate, existingEntry);
  const agentResult = await resolveConflict(agentUpdate, existingEntry);

  // 驗證用戶輸入優先
  const priorityCorrect = userResult.content === 'Python' &&
                          agentResult.content === 'Rust';

  return {
    pass: priorityCorrect,
    priorityCorrect
  };
}

Expected results:

Priority Followed: 100%
Conflict resolution correct: user input takes precedence over agent observation

Poka-yoke scenarios: common mistakes and solutions

Use atomic updates (database transactions)
Audit trail conflict resolution

Measurable Metrics:

Conflict resolution rate: 100%
Conflict mishandling rate: < 0.1%

Mistake 3: Deletion is irreversible

Keep all versions (parentVersion chain)
Audit trail of all deletions

Measurable Metrics:

Deletion Reversibility: 100%
Audit Log Completeness: 100%
