  • Update instruction and skills template to incur remember and recall operations more often and with better detail
  • Introduce memanto dynamic memory markers for future memanto sync changes
  • Introduce memanto template versioning markers for instructional md and skill md files for easy versioning detection
  • Add versioning checks on status and sync commands and supply versioning warnings accordingly
  • Add memanto connect update and ui popup to trigger update or dismiss

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automatic detection of outdated agent instruction templates.
    • Added dashboard notifications with version details and Dismiss/Update Now actions.
    • Added memanto connect update to update templates across local and global integrations.
    • Added template update status to project status and memory sync workflows.
  • Improvements

    • Expanded templates with guidance on workflows, confidence, provenance, and tagging.
    • Template updates now replace managed content without preserving dynamic memory blocks.
    • Improved update messages with clearer, deduplicated results.
    • Update failures now provide diagnostic information without interrupting normal operations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds versioned agent instruction templates, update detection, dynamic-memory stripping during replacement, bulk update commands, CLI warnings, and local dashboard controls for checking, dismissing, and applying instruction updates.

Changes

Agent instruction update workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Versioned instruction content
memanto/cli/connect/templates.py
Adds version markers and dynamic sentinels. Expands skill and instruction content. Passes agent identifiers through template generation.
Instruction replacement and update detection
memanto/cli/connect/engine.py, memanto/cli/connect/updater.py
Validates installed versions and detects active integrations. Strips dynamic-memory blocks when replacing or removing instruction content. Updates local and global integrations through install_agent.
CLI update and warning flows
memanto/cli/commands/connect.py, memanto/cli/commands/core.py, memanto/cli/commands/memory_mgmt.py
Adds connect update. Reports outdated agent instructions from status and memory synchronization flows.
Dashboard update controls
memanto/app/ui/routes/ui_router.py, memanto/app/ui/static/index.html, sdks/typescript/openapi.json
Adds local status, dismissal, and update endpoints. Documents the endpoints in OpenAPI. Updates the dashboard warning banner and message text.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fc96e

This PR rewrites existing instruction and memory files and adds bulk update controls. Legacy migrations can lose persisted dynamic memory, while failed updates may appear successful and leave agents with inconsistent or outdated instructions; the PR is not merge-ready until these risks are fixed or explicitly accepted.

In `@memanto/cli/connect/updater.py`:
- Around line 58-75: Update the local-file detection in the agent update flow
around _extract_version and active_local.append so an agent is classified as
active only when a Memanto version tag or managed-section marker is present. Do
not treat an existing unmarked instruction file, including shared AGENTS.md
files, as sufficient; preserve lowest_version tracking for recognized markers
and only append the agent after validation.
- Around line 124-135: Update the shared managed-section replacement logic used
by install_agent for both local and global updates to preserve the content
between the dynamic-memory markers while applying the new template. Ensure
existing inner content is extracted and restored inside the template’s
corresponding markers instead of being replaced with empty markers.
- Around line 142-144: Update the template update flow around install_agent and
the final success message so it tracks installation errors and does not append
the all-success message when any installation fails. Return a partial-failure
result whenever errors are present, while preserving the existing success result
only when all active templates install successfully.

Apply the same fix in `@memanto/app/ui/routes/ui_router.py` around lines 883 -
897: The route converts updater messages into a success response and success
toast.

3418-3425: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Document the response schemas for the new endpoints.

All four operations use schema: {}. The route implementations return structured objects, including status fields and update messages. Define reusable OpenAPI response schemas so the TypeScript SDK receives a typed contract instead of an unrestricted JSON response.

In `@memanto/cli/connect/engine.py`:
- Around line 184-195: Update _install_skill so it reads the existing SKILL.md
content, passes that content and the newly rendered skill content through
_preserve_dynamic_memories, and writes the preserved result instead of replacing
the file directly. Keep normal behavior when the file does not yet exist.

In `@memanto/cli/connect/updater.py`:
- Around line 62-65: Update _extract_version to validate every parsed version
component before returning a version, rejecting malformed markers such as 1..2
rather than returning a partial result. Ensure all callers’ v is not None checks
only activate integrations for valid versions, while preserving normal version
extraction and comparison behavior.
- Around line 150-153: Update the success-message logic in the updater flow so
it is emitted only when at least one selected installation actually runs
successfully. Track whether either update loop performed an update, including
the update_local=False case with only local integrations, and return the
existing no-op result when no selected scope was processed.
