Subject: [PATCH 3/7] mars: provision the Mnemosyne memory provider for Hermes

Mnemosyne isn't bundled with the official image; third-party PyPI plugin.
Built as a side venv + plugin symlink inside hermesHome so it lands
inside HERMES_WRITE_SAFE_ROOT and survives image rebuilds. Pinned
requirements captured from a validated live install.

+  #   1. ${hermesHome}/plugins/mnemosyne — a symlink to the plugin package
+  #      inside the side venv. Hermes discovers providers by scanning

+  #      __init__.py/.  For it to IMPORT cleanly the plugin's sibling
+  #      `mnemosyne` core package must be importable too — which is exactly
+  #      why the plugin code lives inside the side venv's site-packages
+  #      rather than as a bare writable copy.

Subject: [PATCH 6/7] mars: build Mnemosyne env as a Nix derivation (review
 rework)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Supersedes the venv-based fix attempt in 694317a entirely: replaces the
runtime side-venv with a python3.withPackages derivation
(pkgs/mnemosyne-env.nix: mnemosyne-memory 3.15.1 + mnemosyne-hermes 0.5.0
via fetchPypi, base deps only). Env mounted :ro into the container; the
oneshot only writes the plugins/mnemosyne symlink to the env's
site-packages passthru — a canonical store path valid on both sides. No
runtime fetch, no stamp, no root-executes-luna-writable-code, no
host/container path mismatch, no config.yaml sed.

+  # symlink its discovery scan looks for. Both the plugin wrapper and its
+  # sibling `mnemosyne` core package live in that env's single site-packages,
+  # so one link covers them.
   #
-  #   1. ${hermesHome}/plugins/mnemosyne — a RELATIVE symlink to the plugin
-  #      package inside the side venv (../mnemosyne-venv/lib/…/site-packages/
-  #      hermes_memory_provider). Hermes discovers providers by scanning
-  #      $HERMES_HOME/plugins; resolve() keeps the traversal inside the
-  #      bind-mounted tree, so it lands on the same files whether read
-  #      host-side (/var/lib/hermes/…) or container-side (/opt/data/…).
+  # Path handling: the symlink target is spelled in the CONTAINER's path
+  # space (/opt/data/...), because Hermes resolves the plugin from inside the
+  # container — the same host/container mismatch the webhook prompts already
+  # navigate via containerHome. Host-side the identical literal resolves
+  # onto the same store path through hermesHome's bind mount.
   #
-  #   2. The side venv (${hermesHome}/mnemosyne-venv), built with the pinned
-  #      pins in ./mnemosyne/requirements.txt. Inside hermesHome so it lives
-  #      under the container's HERMES_WRITE_SAFE_ROOT and survives image
-  #      rebuilds.
-  #
-  # Import mechanics (verified against the plugin, not assumed): Hermes's own
-  # interpreter imports hermes_memory_provider OFF THE SYMLINK; that module's
-  # __init__.py itself inserts Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent — the
-  # venv's site-packages — into sys.path before importing `mnemosyne.*`. So
-  # nothing needs to EXECUTE the venv's interpreter inside the container: the
-  # interpreter is only used host-side, by this unit, at provisioning time.
-  #
-  # Idempotent: marked done by a stamp file keyed by the hash of the
-  # requirements text; the console script is verified before the stamp is
-  # written, so a half-install (venv present but install died) re-provisions
-  # rather than exiting on a stale stamp. A pin change also re-provisions.
-  #
-  # Re-provisioning always wipes and recreates the venv (`uv venv --clear`,
-  # plus an explicit rm -f for a leftover non-directory): `uv venv` refuses
-  # to reuse an existing dir, and a wipe-and-rebuild is precisely what a
-  # changed stamp is supposed to mean. Working under root against a
-  # luna-writable ${hermesHome} means Python must never be made to IMPORT
-  # from a tree she has written to — that's why siteDir is composed here
-  # (python3.13 is pinned in the uv venv path) instead of executing
-  # $venv/bin/python to ask it, and why the rm -f/ln -sfn pair cannot leave
-  # stale venv content behind. Deleting first is what guarantees the new
-  # venv is hermetic to root, not incremental.
-  #
-  # Ordering: before podman-hermes-agent (the gateway needs the plugin at
-  # import time), after network (uv fetches wheels on first provision,
-  # ~largest payload is onnxruntime), with a bounded timeout so a broken
-  # proxy cannot hang boot.
-  #
-  # Deliberately NOT Required= / requiredBy: a failed provision leaves the
-  # container running as before, without mnemosyne (RETAINED on purpose —
-  # hermes-webhook-routes and the gateway keep working, and config.yaml
-  # stays untouched, so a plain retry after fixing the network/mirror is
-  # enough). If mnemosyne activation itself should hard-fail boot, that

Subject: [PATCH 7/7] mars(mnemosyne): fix env build and plugin symlink target

- fetchPypi: sdists are published underscore-named, so the hyphenated
  pname 404'd.
- sitePackages is relative; prefix the env path so the unit's -d check
  and the symlink point at the store.
- hermes_memory_provider ships in mnemosyne-memory, not mnemosyne-hermes;
  move the import check accordingly.
- Drop the unused /opt/data/mnemosyne-env mount, the orphaned
  requirements.txt, and trim comments.

-# Pinned requirements for a Mnemosyne side-venv on mars.
-#
-# Hermes vendors its own Python (the official image's venv) and deliberately
-# stays minimal: no pip module inside it, PEP 668 external-management on top.
-# Installing provider packages straight into that interpreter would fight the
-# image on every rebuild, so Mnemosyne (and its plugin wrapper) live in their
-# own venv instead — see the provisioning unit in hosts/mars/hermes-agent.nix.
-#
-# Freeze captured 2026-09-19 from a verified container-side install of
-# `mnemosyne-memory[embeddings]` + `mnemosyne-hermes` — side venv at
-# $HERMES_HOME/mnemosyne-venv, activated via $HERMES_HOME/plugins/mnemosyne.
-# Versions pinned exactly; transitive deps frozen for reproducibility
-# (onnxruntime/numpy drift under a long-lived SQLite state dir is what a
-# freeze is here to prevent).

-# Mnemosyne memory provider for Hermes on mars — packaged for real (Nix).
+# Mnemosyne memory provider for Hermes. Built here rather than pip-installed:
+# the image's Python has no pip and is PEP 668 managed.
 #
-# Why derivations instead of a runtime side-venv: the official Hermes image
-# vendors its own Python and stays off-limits to pip (no pip module, PEP 668),
-# and a runtime venv built host-side breaks twice over inside the container:
-# the venv's pyvenv.cfg records a /nix/store python home the container never
-# mounts, and a plugins symlink with an absolute host path points nowhere
-# from /opt/data. Building here means nothing is fetched at boot, nothing
-# under the provider's control is writable from inside the container, and
-# the closure is as reproducible as the rest of the host.
-#
-# Package set (one shared site-packages — the plugin wrapper imports its
-# sibling `mnemosyne` core package, so withPackages, not separate envs):
-#
-#   mnemosyne-memory  core engine: SQLite/FTS5 storage, recall, tools.
-#                     Base deps only (PyYAML); the optional extras (llm,
-#                     embeddings via fastembed/onnxruntime, mcp, sync) are
-#                     deliberately NOT pulled — recall uses the bundled FTS5
-#                     lexical path, and the heavyweight ML stack (~hundreds of
-#                     MB, live network on first vector use) buys nothing for
-#                     a first deployment. Adding the embeddings extra later
-#                     is pinning fastembed + sqlite-vec here.
-#   mnemosyne-hermes  the wrapper Hermes discovers under $HERMES_HOME/plugins
-#                     (installs itself as package `hermes_memory_provider`).
-#                     Hard dependency: mnemosyne-memory, PyYAML.
-#
-# Platform note: both sdists are pure Python (build no C extensions), so
-# nothing here constrains the host arch beyond the interpreter itself.
+# Core deps only: the embeddings extra (fastembed/onnxruntime) is optional at
+# runtime, and recall falls back to FTS5.
