mnem-core 0.1.7

Content-addressed versioned substrate for AI agent memory - the core of mnem.
Documentation
//! System-anchor identity.
//!
//! Every fresh repo seeded by `mnem init` writes a single, deterministic
//! "anchor" node so the graph is non-empty from the first second and so
//! every commit chain shares a common ancestor (the BUG-56 fast-forward
//! guarantee that lets a fresh subscriber `mnem pull` from a publisher
//! without manual base resolution).
//!
//! The anchor is structural, not content. It carries no summary, no
//! content, and no agent-written semantics; surfacing it in a
//! `mnem retrieve` result is always noise.
//!
//! This module exposes a single canonical identity for the anchor so
//! every layer that needs to recognise (and skip) it does so against
//! the same constant. Without that, the `Query` / `Retriever` filters,
//! the reindex candidate collector, and `mnem init` would each have to
//! re-declare the UUID and drift would be inevitable.
//!
//! Surfaces that filter the anchor by default:
//!
//! - [`crate::index::query::Query`] (CLI `mnem query`, MCP
//!   `mnem_list_nodes`, HTTP `/list-nodes`)
//! - [`crate::retrieve::retriever::Retriever`] (CLI `mnem retrieve`,
//!   MCP `mnem_retrieve`, HTTP `/retrieve`)
//!
//! Audit / admin tooling can opt back in with `include_system(true)` on
//! either builder, mirroring the existing `include_tombstoned(true)`
//! escape hatch.
