Summary

Replace browser localStorage-based personalization with server-side persistence via the
new agent /personalization CRUD API. Memories and user rules now survive across devices,
browsers, and logout/login cycles.

Changes

  • personalization.ts (Redux slice) — rewrote from synchronous localStorage
    read/write to async thunks (createAsyncThunk) calling the backend API:

    • fetchMemories / fetchRules — load data from server on component mount
    • addMemory / addRule — POST to backend, optimistically update store
    • removeMemory / removeRule — DELETE from backend, remove from store
    • Added loading and error state with corresponding selectors
    • Removed uuid dependency (IDs now come from the server)
    • Removed localStorage persistence (loadState, persist helpers)
    • Removed unused reducers: clearMemories, clearRules, updateRule, toggleRule
  • MemoryList.tsx — fetches memories from server on mount via useEffect,
    shows loading spinner and error banner, removed "Clear all" button

  • RulesEditor.tsx — fetches rules from server on mount via useEffect,
    shows loading spinner and error banner, removed toggle switch and "Clear all" button

  • useStreamingAPI.ts — removed client-side memory/rule injection into stream
    requests (agent now loads personalization from Postgres directly)

  • StreamingManager.ts — removed memories and rules from StreamRequest interface

  • proxy.router.ts — removed memories/rules fields from stream request body
    and the configurable.user_memories/configurable.user_rules forwarding logic

Motivation

The previous architecture stored personalization data only in browser localStorage and
piped it through stream requests. This was fragile (data lost on browser clear/device
switch) and created a disconnect — the agent backend loaded from Postgres while the UI
managed its own separate copy. This change unifies storage on the server, making the
agent's Postgres user_memories and user_rules tables the single source of truth.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Memories and User Rules are enabled by default and can be controlled through feature settings.
    • Personalization data now loads from the service, with support for creating rules and deleting memories or rules.
    • Memory management includes a “Delete All” option.
    • Settings tabs are hidden when their features are disabled.
  • Improvements

    • Added loading, error, and updated empty states.
    • Clarified that memories are created by the agent.
    • Improved settings navigation, accessibility, and tab labeling.

Walkthrough

The PR moves memories and user rules from local storage to backend APIs, adds feature-flagged settings tabs, removes personalization data from stream requests, and forwards the authenticated user identity through the agent proxy.

Changes

Personalization migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Feature flags and settings navigation
config/ui/settings.yaml, src/server/utils/settings.ts, src/frontend/services/config.service.ts, src/frontend/components/FeatureGate.tsx, src/frontend/pages/SettingsPage.tsx
Memory and user-rules flags are enabled by default and control feature gates and visible, keyboard-navigable settings tabs.
API-backed personalization state and UI
src/frontend/redux/slices/personalization.ts, src/frontend/components/settings/MemoryList.tsx, src/frontend/components/settings/RulesEditor.tsx
Personalization data uses asynchronous CRUD thunks and displays server data, loading states, errors, and deletion controls.
Streaming and proxy integration
src/frontend/hooks/useStreamingAPI.ts, src/frontend/lib/streaming/StreamingManager.ts, src/server/router/proxy.router.ts
Stream payloads and proxy configuration no longer include memories or rules. The proxy adds an X-User-ID header from the authenticated session.
Validation and test wiring
e2e/helpers/config-mount.ts, e2e/*, src/frontend/components/__tests__/accessibility.test.tsx, package.json
Tests and mocks use the renamed tabs and personalization endpoints. Accessibility navigation and asynchronous rendering tests are updated. The accessibility test dependency is upgraded.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ac936

Personalization now depends on server fetches and asynchronous updates, but a failed load can appear as an empty account, a late response can overwrite newer changes, and the bulk deletion control still permits behavior the change is intended to remove. These bounded correctness and product-contract issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

In `@src/frontend/components/settings/MemoryList.tsx`:
- Around line 66-74: Remove the bulk deletion Button that dispatches
deleteAllMemories() from MemoryList, while preserving the individual memory
deletion controls and the rest of the component.

In `@src/frontend/pages/SettingsPage.tsx`:
- Around line 38-44: Update the SettingsPage active-tab state alongside
visibleTabs so that when feature changes remove the current activeTab, it resets
to the first visible tab; preserve the current activeTab when it remains
visible, using the visible tab IDs derived by the visibleTabs useMemo.

In `@src/frontend/redux/slices/personalization.ts`:
- Around line 140-180: Update the fetchMemories and fetchRules reducer flows to
prevent stale fulfilled fetches from replacing collections after mutations.
Track the latest mutation/request ordering or invalidate pending fetches when
create/delete actions begin, and only apply fetch payloads newer than the most
recent mutation; preserve normal loading and error handling for current
requests.

In `@src/server/router/proxy.router.ts`:
- Line 339: Update the streaming route around the request-body destructuring and
the catch-all proxy handler’s X-User-ID logic to use a shared helper that
derives the identity header from request.session.user. Apply this trusted
session-derived header to /proxy/agent/v1/stream as well as the existing proxy
path, without using the client-controlled user_id for authentication.
