…t out of graph-query Node creation capped provenance but mergeNode and mergeEdge re-unioned with no cap, so re-observing an entity grew the array for the life of the graph. graph-query then returned node objects verbatim, making every consumer pay for the accumulation on every call. Measured on a 71.5K-node / 191K-edge corpus: 500 nodes weighed 9.4 MB, of which sourceObservationIds was 9.55 MB - 98.9 percent. One package.json node held 4,707 ids in 133 KB. A full survey found 2,628,533 ids past a cap of 10, across 26,686 nodes and 28,884 edges. Applies both fixes suggested on the issue, since they solve different halves: - Bound the write path to GRAPH_MAX_SOURCE_IDS (default 10, matching the existing create-time cap), keeping the newest ids. Creation turned out to be unbounded too when a batch carried more observations than the cap, as did the heuristic extraction path, so the cap is applied on all four write paths rather than only on merge. - Project the array out of graph-query: callers get a three-id sample plus sourceObservationCount, and opt into the full array with includeSources. Storage growth and payload size stay independent knobs. REST /graph/query at the default limit drops from 10.7 MB to 940 KB. Complements rohitg00#1294, which bounds the same field on the temporal-graph path in temporal-graph.ts; this covers mem::graph-extract in graph.ts and the read side, which neither that PR nor rohitg00#1295 touches.

The knowledge graph has no collector. Every extraction appends nodes and edges and nothing removes them, so a corpus passes the 25K-node ceiling that mem::graph-snapshot-rebuild refuses to run above and there is no path back short of graph-reset, which discards the whole graph. rohitg00#1171 names the second half of this: extract, build, reset and snapshot-rebuild are the only writers, so an operator whose nodes have already accumulated millions of provenance ids cannot compact them in place. Bounding the write path only helps rows written afterwards. mem::graph-prune, exposed at POST /agentmemory/graph/prune, collects three classes that are provably dead - rows already tombstoned as stale, edges whose endpoint node no longer exists, and temporal edges marked isLatest:false past a retention cutoff - and clears the matching name-index, edge-key and degree entries so graph-extract dedup cannot resolve into deleted rows afterwards. With compactSourceIds it also trims oversized provenance arrays to the newest ids, using the same cap the write path applies, so an existing corpus can be brought in line without losing the graph. Defaults to a dry run, which reports what each class would collect before anything is written. Duplicate-name merging rewrites live rows, so it stays behind its own flag. On a 71.5K-node / 191K-edge corpus: 26,686 nodes and 28,884 edges compacted in 22s, 2,628,533 provenance ids dropped, 0 errors, daemon RSS 1636 MB to 922 MB. Stacked on the graph provenance cap, whose GRAPH_MAX_SOURCE_IDS the compaction pass reuses so the backfill and the write path cannot disagree.

Synchronize derived graph state after non-delete mutations.
compactSourceIds and duplicate repointing change stored graph rows, but the snapshot patch only removes deleted rows. With an existing snapshot and no deletions, compaction reports success while graph queries continue to return the old provenance and old sourceObservationCount. After repointing, cached edges can still reference a removed loser node. The persisted degree for the keeper also remains too low.

Cap provenance when merging duplicate keepers. When mergeDuplicateNames is true and compactSourceIds is false, this path unions all keeper and loser sourceObservationIds before kv.set. Unlike persistGraphDelta’s capped mergeNode, it can persist more than GRAPH_MAX_SOURCE_IDS, wasting storage and memory in later graph reads.

Do not mark loser nodes for deletion before keeper persistence succeeds.
If either keeper write fails at Lines 258-259, Lines 249-250 still cause the repoint and delete phases to run. The run can delete the loser node although its merged provenance was not saved. A name-index write failure can also leave no name-index entry for the keeper.
Move idRemap and nodesToDelete updates until after both keeper writes succeed. Preserve the duplicate group when either write fails.

Resolve destination edge-key collisions before updating the index.
If both duplicate nodes have an edge of the same type to the same remaining node, repointing produces the same edgeIndexKey. Line 286 overwrites the existing index entry but leaves both edge rows. Future graph writes merge only one row, and graph queries can return duplicates.
Detect a destination-key collision. Merge or select one edge, then delete the redundant row and update its indexes and counts consistently.

…paction Review on this PR raised five issues. Four were on the duplicate-merge path: an uncapped union on the keeper, losers marked for deletion before the keeper write succeeded, edge-key collisions when two duplicates both had a same-type edge to the same node, and degree reconciliation. That path was opt-in and never exercised against a real corpus, and designing merge semantics properly does not belong inside a PR about collection and compaction. It is removed; the survey still reports how many duplicate names exist, which is the useful half. The remaining two applied to what this PR does ship, and are fixed: The snapshot serves /graph/query on the no-argument path, so compacted rows have to be reflected there. Previously a compaction run reported success while queries kept returning the provenance it had just trimmed. The snapshot was reconciled against the delete candidate map rather than the rows actually deleted, so one failed delete in a run could drop a still-persisted row out of snapshot-backed queries. Successful deletions are now tracked separately and drive the filter. Signed-off-by: reddeye1337 <reddeye1337@users.noreply.github.com>

Thanks — this was useful, and it changed the shape of the PR. Four of the five findings were on the duplicate-merge path: the uncapped keeper union, losers marked for deletion before the keeper write succeeded, edge-key collisions when two duplicates share a same-type edge to the same node, and degree reconciliation. They're all correct, and together they say the merge path wasn't designed carefully enough. It was opt-in and I never ran it against a real corpus. I've removed duplicate merging from this PR rather than patch four holes in a feature that isn't the subject of the change. The survey still reports how many duplicate names exist, which is the useful half; merging deserves its own PR with its own design — including the collision resolution you describe. Worth noting the duplicates on my corpus mostly trace to #1221 (absolute path as node identity), so merging may be the wrong layer to fix them at anyway. The two findings that apply to what this PR does ship are fixed:

If kv.delete(KV.graphEdges, edge.id) succeeds and edge-index cleanup fails, the catch skips Line 254. The same failure mode exists for node deletion and name-index cleanup at Line 272. The graph row is gone, but snapshot filtering and totals retain it.

Problem
The knowledge graph has no collector. Every extraction appends nodes and edges and nothing removes them, so a corpus eventually passes the 25K-node ceiling that
mem::graph-snapshot-rebuildrefuses to run above, and there is no path back short ofgraph-reset, which discards the whole graph.#1171 names the half that bounding does not solve:
Capping the write path only helps rows written afterwards. An install that already accumulated millions of provenance ids keeps paying for them on every read, forever, unless it throws the graph away.
What this adds
mem::graph-prune, exposed atPOST /agentmemory/graph/prune.Collection — three classes that are provably dead:
staleisLatest: falsepast a retention cutoff (default 90 days), i.e. history already replaced by a newer revisionIt also clears the matching
graphNameIndex,graphEdgeKeyandgraphNodeDegreeentries, sograph-extractdedup cannot later resolve a name into a deleted node — index entries are only removed when they still point at the row being deleted.Compaction — with
compactSourceIds, trims oversized provenance arrays to the newest ids using the same cap the write path applies. This is the backfill the issue asks for.Safety — defaults to a dry run, which reports what each class would collect without writing.
Duplicate-name merging was in the first revision and has been removed after review: it rewrites live rows rather than removing dead ones, and the review surfaced four separate correctness problems in it (uncapped keeper union, losers marked for deletion before the keeper write succeeded, edge-key collisions when two duplicates share a same-type edge to the same node, degree reconciliation). It was opt-in and never exercised on a real corpus. The survey still reports the duplicate count, which is the useful half; merging deserves its own PR with its own design.
Result
On a 71.5K-node / 191K-edge corpus:
{ "oversizedNodes": 26686, "oversizedEdges": 28884, "droppableSourceIds": 2628533, "staleNodes": 0, "danglingEdges": 0, "supersededEdges": 0, "duplicateNodes": 885 }Compaction run: 26,686 nodes and 28,884 edges in 22.4s, 0 errors. Daemon RSS 1636 MB → 922 MB. A second dry run reports zero of everything, so it is idempotent.
Worth noting what the survey found: on this corpus there was no stale, dangling or superseded garbage at all. The entire recoverable size was provenance. That is a useful argument for the cap in #1349 — collection alone would have recovered nothing here.
Verification
New
test/graph-prune.test.ts: dry run reports without writing, stale and dangling rows are removed, provenance is left alone unless compaction is asked for, compaction keeps the newest ids, and a second pass finds nothing left.Live:
