Multi-Source Import

Consolidating two workstations’ pi-mempalace corpora into one central daemon — the WS2 workflow end to end.

Scenario

elliotthall-laptop and kaiizen each have a pi-mempalace memories.db; the same insight was sometimes saved on both.
The central daemon runs at ijima.tailnet:7373.

1. Mint an import grant (once)

ijima token issue --principal importer \
    --capabilities memory:read,memory:write --json
export IJIMA_URL="http://ijima.tailnet:7373"
export IJIMA_TOKEN="<grant>"

2. Import each source

On each workstation (scp the db to the server, or run locally with IJIMA_URL pointed over the tailnet):

ijima import mempalace --db ~/.pi/agent/mempalace/memories.db \
    --source "elliotthall-laptop"
# ijima: import `elliotthall-laptop` complete — 1190 added, 91 deduped, 3 skipped

ijima import mempalace --db /srv/kaiizen/memories.db --source "kaiizen"
# ijima: import `kaiizen` complete — 940 added, 150 deduped, 0 skipped

Each lands in its own staging namespace — ns_import_elliotthall_laptop and ns_import_kaiizen — with origin stamped per source and every memory at the AutoCapture tier, even rows the source called manual-save.

The deduped counts are per-source content-hash collisions (the same memory saved twice on one machine). Cross-source overlap is preserved deliberately: both namespaces keep their copy, each tagged with its origin, until you review.

3. Inspect per-source overlap

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
     "localhost:7373/memories?namespace=ns_import_kaiizen&limit=50" \
  | jq '.[] | select(.origin=="kaiizen") | .content'

4. Promote what you trust

Review in the staging namespaces, then promote winners into personal or shared namespaces — trust:promote grant required:

curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRUST_TOKEN" \
     "localhost:7373/memories/mem_9812/promote?namespace=ns_import_kaiizen"

The origin stamp travels with the promoted memory — the workstation trail survives promotion.

5. Re-run safety

Imports are idempotent: re-running the same command reports the previous added count as deduped and adds nothing. Schedule freely.
