register() built a second MnemosyneMemoryProvider for PluginManager handlers. Hermes Desktop deferred those tools onto the empty instance, so mnemosyne_remember/stats returned "not initialized" while the CLI and MemoryManager used the live DB. Reuse one module-level provider and lazy-initialize on first primary tool call when Hermes never called initialize().

In `@integrations/hermes/src/mnemosyne_hermes/__init__.py`:
- Around line 1926-1927: Move the _ensure_initialized_for_tools() call inside
the surrounding try block in the plugin handler so configuration and setup
failures are covered by the existing fail-soft error handling and produce the
structured memory_unavailable response instead of escaping; preserve the current
initialization and success paths.
- Around line 917-938: Update handle_tool_call and the standalone PluginManager
sync/persona tool paths to propagate the active lifecycle context—session, agent
context, Hermes home, platform, and agent identity—before lazy initialization,
keeping initialization inside the existing structured error boundary and failing
closed when context is unavailable. Ensure sync and persona handlers reuse the
shared provider Beam rather than creating separate adapters with default
sessions, and add coverage for uninitialized cron/subagent calls and non-default
sessions.

Propagate the active Hermes lifecycle context before lazy tool initialization.
When PluginManager invokes a tool before MemoryManager.initialize(), handle_tool_call() ignores its **kwargs and calls _ensure_initialized_for_tools() before the fail-soft try. _agent_context remains "primary", _hermes_home remains empty, and _agent_identity is unset. _session_id remains "hermes_default" unless on_session_switch() already ran. A cron or subagent call can therefore initialize with the wrong context, home, profile, or session. Pass the active context into this path or fail closed. Keep initialization inside the structured error boundary. Add tests for uninitialized cron/subagent calls and non-default sessions.
The standalone PluginManager route also sends sync and persona tools to separate adapters. These handlers bypass _ensure_initialized_for_tools(), and PersonaAdapter can create BeamMemory(session_id="persona-adapter"). Route these tools through the shared provider Beam or apply the same lifecycle context.

Parity tests asserted the old uninitialized plugin-tool response. Lazy init now stores on first call, so drop that dispatch check and wrap ensure/retry in the existing handler try.

idempotent so hermes_* values are not prefixed twice. Preserve session rebinding
across session changes and configured session-scope behavior, and add a

Heads up on what I just did to this PR, and why: I used the maintainer "update branch" action to merge current The reason is that this PR's CI was not failing on anything you wrote. The fix landed in #867. I first tried simply re-running your jobs, which was wrong of me and cost you another six hours of red: a re-run replays the same merge commit, and that commit predates the fix. Only a freshly computed merge picks it up, hence the branch update. Your new run is going now and should behave normally. Sorry for the noise on your PR, none of it was yours. |

Reviewed properly now that CI is trustworthy again. Sorry this sat: it was blocked on the harness, not on you. Good diagnosis, and the writeup made it fast to verify.
What I checked rather than took on trust
register()inmnemosyne_hermesdid construct a secondMnemosyneMemoryProviderand bind every tool to it, whileinitialize()only ever ran on the MemoryManager instance. Your description of the failure is exact.- Leaving
hermes_memory_provider/untouched is correct, not an omission. Itsregister()registers the CLI command and then delegates tool registration tohermes_plugin; it never constructs a second provider. So the bug genuinely lives in one of the two implementations. Worth stating out loud because the file layout invites the opposite assumption. - The
"hermes_default"fallback in_ensure_initialized_for_toolsmatches the provider's own default at__init__.py:734, so the lazy path cannot land tools on a different session than the rest of the provider uses. That was the thing I most wanted to be wrong about and it holds.
One finding worth acting on: the parity assertion was deleted wider than the behavior change
The removed block in tests/test_hermes_provider_parity.py sat inside for module in provider_modules.values():, so it asserted the uninitialized memory_unavailable response for both implementations. Only mnemosyne_hermes changed. Deleting the whole assertion therefore also drops the only coverage of hermes_memory_provider's uninitialized response, in a file whose docstring is "Parity checks for the two Hermes Mnemosyne provider implementations."
It had to stop asserting the old behavior for mnemosyne_hermes, so the deletion is the minimum that makes CI green. But the minimum here quietly converts a parity guarantee into an untested divergence, and the next person reading the file will not know the two providers now differ on purpose.
Suggestion: split it rather than drop it. Keep the existing assertion for hermes_memory_provider, and for mnemosyne_hermes assert the new behavior, that an uninitialized provider lazy-initializes on a primary-context tool call and does not return memory_unavailable. That turns a deletion into a regression test for the thing this PR fixes, and it documents the divergence where someone will actually see it.
Two minor notes, neither blocking
globals().get("_provider"). The function already declares global _provider, so a plain if _provider is None reads the same value. If the indirection is working around something specific, a one-line comment would help; if not, simplify. Related: assert _provider is not None disappears under python -O, so it is type narrowing rather than a guarantee.
No lock in _get_or_create_provider(). The whole point is exactly one instance, and two concurrent register() calls could still produce two. Plugin registration is almost certainly single-threaded at load, so this is a note rather than a request. Mentioning it because the invariant is the feature.
One thing to call out in the description
Moving self._maybe_retry_init() inside the try also changes where its exceptions land: they are now caught by the except Exception below and returned as a structured payload, instead of propagating out of handle_tool_call. I think that is an improvement and consistent with the C27 structured-response design right underneath it. It is just an error-surface change that the PR body does not mention, and it deserves a line so it is not discovered later as a surprise.
Nothing here blocks. The parity split is the one I would like to see before merge; the rest is your call.
hermes_memory_provider still returns memory_unavailable until initialize(). mnemosyne_hermes lazy-inits on a primary-context tool call, so assert it does not return memory_unavailable.

Add persistence and skip-context regression coverage.
Assert that mnemosyne_get reads the stored memory_id and content after lazy initialization. Add parity cases for cron and subagent that assert _beam remains unset and mnemosyne_remember does not write memory. The existing subagent test covers only the standalone provider after explicit initialization.

Also merged current main. CI is green. |

Confirmed same root cause in production (Hermes v0.5.0, mnemosyne-hermes v0.5.0). Real-world trigger path: Not just Hermes Desktop — the bg-review (background review) fork is the most common trigger in production. The fork is created with Failure pattern (from production logs): All mnemosyne_* calls in bg-review forks fail with this error. The main agent's MemoryManager path works fine (provider A is initialized). This has been present since at least 8/29 in our deployment. More context:
Thanks for the fix — this has been producing noise in our logs for a while. Would be great to see it merged. |

Thanks for fixing the duplicate normal-memory provider initialization. I found three lifecycle/surface-contract blockers on the current head:
-
handle_tool_call()discards caller lifecycle values before lazy initialization. A first PluginManager call from cron, a subagent, a non-default session/profile, etc. can initialize ashermes_default/primary/cliand write to the wrong session or DB. Please bind the active tool/host context atomically before lazy init, or fail closed when it is incomplete. Add uninitialized cron/subagent, non-default-session, and profile-path regressions. -
register()builds the PluginManager tool map once, while provider allowlists can be re-resolved on a laterinitialize(..., hermes_home=...). That can advertise an uncallable tool or omit an allowed one after a home/config change. Please bind registration and runtime dispatch to the same frozen/updated config source, with realregister()-path coverage for omitted/null/empty/restricted/unknown allowlists and a home/reload transition. -
The PR title promises shared lifecycle for plugin tools, but sync tools use a global
SyncAdapter(None)and persona tools a separatePersonaAdapter; both bypass_ensure_initialized_for_tools(). Either attach these handlers to the context-bound shared provider and test their session isolation, or explicitly narrow the title/changelog/scope to normal memory tools.
The existing positive test proves a normal tool can write, but should also read/recall that exact ID through the same shared surface and cover the isolation cases above. Rebase is additionally required (BEHIND), but it will not resolve these contract gaps by itself.
mnemosyne-oss#793) register() built a second MnemosyneMemoryProvider for PluginManager tool handlers, so deferred tool calls hit a never-initialized instance and returned 'Mnemosyne not initialized' while the CLI used the live DB. Both registration paths now share one instance, and a primary-context tool call lazy-initializes if Hermes never called initialize().
register() built a second MnemosyneMemoryProvider for PluginManager
handlers. Hermes Desktop deferred those tools onto the empty instance,
so mnemosyne_remember/stats returned "not initialized" while the CLI
and MemoryManager used the live DB.
Reuse one module-level provider and lazy-initialize on first primary
tool call when Hermes never called initialize().
Description
Hermes can load mnemosyne-hermes twice in one process: as the MemoryManager
provider and as a PluginManager plugin.
register()constructed a secondMnemosyneMemoryProviderand bound everymnemosyne_*tool to that object.initialize()only ran on the MemoryManager instance.Result: Desktop / deferred
tool_callreturned{"status": "memory_unavailable", "reason": "Mnemosyne not initialized"}while
mnemosyne store,mnemosyne stats, andhermes memory statusused the live SQLite DB.
_beam is Noneand_init_error is None— initwas never attempted on the tool object.
This is not a skip-context miss and is present since at least plugin v0.5.0.
Fix: one module-level provider for both registration paths; lazy
initialize()on the first primary-context tool call if Hermes nevercalled it. Cron/subagent skip-contexts still skip.

This is the right call for the Hermes integration. Shared provider state prevents inconsistent memory access and duplicate provider construction.
The change does not alter working, episodic, or BEAM memory tiers. It does not alter retrieval, consolidation, veracity, or synchronization. It does not change Mnemosyne’s local-first or privacy posture. The provider remains local, and the PR adds no remote data path.
The PR changes the Hermes integration only. It does not change MCP or CLI surfaces.
