* feat(uri)!: reject uid-less current-user shorthand in favor of viking://~ viking://user/<segment> (memories/resources/skills/peers/privacy/sessions without a user id) was ambiguous with a user literally named after the segment, and a user actually named e.g. "memories" was unreachable for USER/ADMIN callers. Now that the viking://~ home alias (#4167) covers the same need unambiguously, the shorthand fails closed at the request boundary instead of expanding: - resolve_current_user_uri raises NamespaceShapeError with a corrective hint naming both viking://~/<rest> and the explicit-uid form. Silently parsing the reserved segment as a peer user id would misdirect reads and writes, so rejection is the only safe removal. - Bare viking://user falls through to the canonical parser and keeps container semantics (a user key listing it sees only its own space). - The self-id escape stays: a caller whose user_id equals a reserved name keeps viking://user/<own-id> as their canonical root. ROOT-role literal parsing and the legacy viking://session alias are unchanged. - AddTargetsConfig normalizes stored legacy config spellings (viking://user/resources|skills) to the viking://~ form at validation so existing ov.conf/user_config deployments keep working; the accepted per-user spelling is now viking://~/resources and viking://~/skills. - usage_reporter keeps canonicalizing the historical shorthand found in old transcripts and additionally recognizes viking://~/memories/. BREAKING CHANGE: requests using the uid-less viking://user/<segment> spelling now fail with 400; use viking://~/<segment> or an explicit viking://user/{user_id}/<segment> URI. * refactor(clients): migrate first-party emitters to the viking://~ home alias Every in-repo client that emitted the removed uid-less current-user shorthand now sends viking://~/... instead: vikingbot fallbacks and default sentinels, the LangChain store/tools defaults, the shared recall-core.mjs (all synced plugin copies), the codex/claude-code/ openclaw/openwebui/dsh/zcode/pi plugin emitters, quick-app examples, Go SDK example, tau2 benchmark targets, and the eval golden dataset. Compat kept where legacy strings live in stored user configs: bot and ov_dream sentinels accept both spellings while emitting only ~, and recall-core still rewrites legacy viking://user/<reserved> config values client-side. langchain_openviking._uri now classifies viking://~ with the explicit-user shape so canonicalized server responses keep matching a ~ root. Plugin READMEs note the server requirement for the alias. * docs: replace current-user shorthand guidance with the viking://~ home alias Rewrite every EN/ZH doc and model-facing prompt that advertised the uid-less viking://user/<segment> spelling: URI concept catalogue, context-types/storage/extraction/retrieval/session/privacy concepts, configuration guide (with the legacy add_targets auto-normalization note), resources/skills/sessions/retrieval/admin API references, FAQ, capability reference, and the openviking-memory / ov-experience-memory / openclaw / ov-resources skills. The stale MCP viking://user/<path> dialect passage in the MCP guide is replaced by ~ guidance, and bare viking://user is documented as the container of user spaces. * test(api): migrate live API session-used tests off the removed shorthand tests/api_test/sessions sent uid-less viking://user/skills/... URIs to record_used, which the request boundary now rejects with 400 (caught by the API & CLI Integration Tests CI job; these tests need a live server and are not part of the local suites). The api_test client authenticates as an admin-role user key, so the viking://~ home alias expands for it. tests/api_test/common/test_edge_cases.py is left as is: it asserts a 400 for a non-resource add target, which still holds.
Memory Plugin Shared Library
This directory contains shared JavaScript modules that are vendored into the
Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and pi memory plugins by sync.mjs.
Requires an OpenViking server with
viking://~home-alias support. Recall targets the caller's own context space throughviking://~/memoriesandviking://~/skills; the uid-lessviking://user/memoriesshorthand is rejected by newer servers.
Workspace Peers
lib/workspace-peer.mjs derives the default actor peer from the current
workspace path. The rule matches Claude's project-directory naming: every
character outside A-Z, a-z, and 0-9 becomes -; paths are not normalized,
folded, or trimmed. For example, /Users/x/Dev/OpenViking becomes
-Users-x-Dev-OpenViking.
Resolution order is:
- Explicit peer:
OPENVIKING_PEER_ID,actor_peer_id/peer_idinovcli.conf, or the harness-specific legacy peer config. - Workspace-derived peer when
workspacePeeris notfalse. - No peer.
Set OPENVIKING_WORKSPACE_PEER=0 or the harness config workspacePeer=false
to disable workspace-derived peers.
Recall Peer Scope
lib/recall-core.mjs defaults to the broad recall mode and does not send a
peer_scope field. In that mode, the server can recall global memory, the
current workspace, and other workspace memories; other workspaces are penalized
and rendered later.
When recallPeerScope is actor, the helper sends peer_scope:"actor". This
is the isolation mode: recall only sees global memory plus the current
workspace. If an older server rejects that field with 400 or 422, postRecall
removes peer_scope and retries once.
For deployments where one bot serves multiple real people, such as zouk, vikingbot, or AstrBot, configure an explicit actor peer and use the isolation mode so one person's memories are not recalled into another person's session.
