feat(store,mcp): add ranged and find-window reads to mem_get_observation - #883
Conversation
Agents revising large memories still had to download the full body to locate a passage. Optional offset/limit and find/context keep those reads rune-safe and bounded.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Partial observation reads add paging and match windows, but dense matches can still return an entire observation, the published numeric input contract does not match runtime validation, and key output-boundary assertions are missing. These issues should be resolved before merge to ensure clients receive predictable bounded results. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

and context values before converting them with int(v); preserve existing
validation for integral values and add MCP coverage for fractional inputs,
including negative fractions.
In `@internal/store/observation_partial.go`:
- Line 148: Update the match-scanning logic around the `i += len(needle)`
advancement to increment by one rune after each match, allowing overlapping
occurrences while preserving byte-safe indexing. Add a test covering content
“aaa” with find “aa” that expects matches at offsets 0 and 1.
- Line 118: Guard the end-index calculations in the range and find request
paths, including the calculation around end, against integer overflow before
rune slicing. Clamp overflowing bounds safely so maxInt offset, limit, and
context values cannot produce negative slice indices or panics, and add
regression tests covering both request types.

Bound aggregate find output.
Dense matches can merge into an interval that spans the complete observation. For example, matches less than 1,201 runes apart with the default context of 600 produce one unbounded window. This defeats the partial-read limit and can return the full body for a common find value.
Add a total rune or window limit. Return a continuation signal if more matches remain. Add a dense-match regression test.

Unit tests never started after main moved the module to engram/v2, and the tool contract still described mem_get_observation as id-only.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Declare partial-read numeric arguments as non-negative integers.
context, limit, and offset use type:["number"]. This contract permits fractional and negative values, but the MCP handler rejects them. Clients can therefore validate an input against the contract and still receive a tool error.
Use type:["integer"] with "minimum":0 for these fields. Encode the safe-integer upper bound if this contract supports it.
Also applies to: 54-55
