   - Dictionary maps memory_id to asyncio.Lock

3. ✅ Implemented `update_active_memory_sections()` method
   - Accepts list of section updates: `[{"section_id": "x", "new_content": "..."}]`
   - Calls `active_repo.update_sections()` for transactional batch update
   - Calculates threshold: `avg_section_update_count * num_sections`
   - Calculates total update count across all sections
   - Triggers background consolidation if threshold exceeded
   - Returns updated memory immediately (non-blocking)
   - Full docstring with example usage

4. ✅ Refactored `update_active_memory_section()` for backward compatibility
   - Now delegates to `update_active_memory_sections()` with single section

**Key Features:**
- **Smart Threshold**: Based on average updates per section × total sections
- **Non-blocking**: Uses `asyncio.create_task()` for background consolidation
- **Thread-safe**: Uses asyncio.Lock to prevent concurrent consolidation
- **Backward Compatible**: Old single-section API still works
- **Error Handling**: Failed consolidation doesn't affect the update operation

**Example Usage:**
```python
# Batch update multiple sections
sections = [
    {"section_id": "progress", "new_content": "Made significant progress..."},
    {"section_id": "notes", "new_content": "Key insights discovered..."},
    {"section_id": "blockers", "new_content": "No current blockers"}
]

memory = await memory_manager.update_active_memory_sections(
    external_id="agent-123",
    memory_id=1,
    sections=sections
)

# If total update count >= (avg_section_update_count * 3),
# consolidation will trigger in background
```

**Entity State History Tracking:**
```python
# metadata.state_history array example for entities:
[
    {
        "timestamp": "2025-10-05T10:30:00Z",
        "source": "shortterm_promotion",
        "shortterm_memory_id": 123,
        "action": "created",  # Only for new entities
        "types": ["Person", "Developer"],
        "confidence": 0.75
    },
    {
        "timestamp": "2025-10-05T11:45:00Z",
        "source": "shortterm_promotion",
        "shortterm_memory_id": 124,
        "old_types": ["Person", "Developer"],
        "new_types": ["Person", "Developer", "Team Lead"],
        "old_confidence": 0.75,
        "new_confidence": 0.82
    }
    # ... more updates over time
]
```

**Relationship State History Tracking:**
```python
# metadata.state_history array example for relationships:
[
    {
        "timestamp": "2025-10-05T10:30:00Z",
        "source": "shortterm_promotion",
        "shortterm_memory_id": 123,
        "action": "created",  # Only for new relationships
        "types": ["USES", "DEPENDS_ON"],
        "confidence": 0.80,
        "strength": 0.75
    },
    {
        "timestamp": "2025-10-05T11:45:00Z",
        "source": "shortterm_promotion",
        "shortterm_memory_id": 124,
        "old_types": ["USES", "DEPENDS_ON"],
        "new_types": ["USES", "DEPENDS_ON", "INTEGRATES_WITH"],
        "old_confidence": 0.80,
        "new_confidence": 0.85,
        "old_strength": 0.75,
        "new_strength": 0.82
    }
    # ... more updates over time
]
```

**Shortterm Memory Promotion History:**
```python
# metadata.promotion_history array in shortterm memory:
[
    {
        "date": "2025-10-05T10:30:00Z",
        "chunks_added": 5,
        "entities_added": 3,
        "entities_modified": 2,
        "relationships_added": 4,
        "relationships_modified": 1
    }
    # ... more promotion events
]
```

**Workflow Changes:**
```
Old: Shortterm → Copy chunks → Create entities/relationships → Longterm
New: Shortterm → Update timestamps → Copy chunks → Longterm
     ↓ (Step 1: Update existing chunk timestamps)
     ↓ (Step 2-3: Copy all chunks with metadata)
     ↓ (Step 4-5: Intelligent entity merging with type union)
     ↓ (Step 6-7: Intelligent relationship merging with type union)
     ↓ (Step 8: Update shortterm metadata with promotion history)
```

**Type Merging Algorithm:**
- Creates union of types from both shortterm and longterm
- Preserves order (longterm types first, then new shortterm types)
- Prevents duplicates

**Confidence Recalculation:**
- Uses weighted average: 60% weight to higher value, 40% to lower value
- Favors more confident assessments
- Formula: `new_confidence = 0.6 * max(lt_conf, st_conf) + 0.4 * min(lt_conf, st_conf)`

**Strength Recalculation (relationships only):**
- Uses same weighted average approach as confidence
- Formula: `new_strength = 0.6 * max(lt_strength, st_strength) + 0.4 * min(lt_strength, st_strength)`

**Key Features:**
- 📅 **Timestamp Tracking**: Updates last_updated for promoted chunks
- 📊 **No Data Loss**: All chunks promoted (no filtering)
- 🔄 **Intelligent Merging**: Types merged as union, confidence/strength recalculated
- 📈 **State History**: Complete tracking of entity and relationship evolution
- 🔍 **Audit Trail**: Full state_history arrays for analysis and debugging
- 📝 **Promotion History**: Shortterm memory tracks all promotions with counts
- ⚖️ **Smart Matching**: Case-insensitive name matching for entities and relationships
- 🎯 **Comprehensive Logging**: Detailed logs for debugging and monitoring

## 📅 October 5, 2025 Update: Enhanced Promotion Algorithm

**Status:** ✅ Complete

### Overview
Major refactoring of the `_promote_to_longterm` algorithm to support intelligent entity and relationship merging with complete state history tracking.

### Key Improvements

**1. Type Merging**
- Entities and relationships now merge types from both shortterm and longterm
- Uses union operation (no duplicates)
- Preserves order (longterm types first)

**2. Smart Confidence Recalculation**
- Weighted average formula: `new_value = 0.6 * max(lt, st) + 0.4 * min(lt, st)`
- Favors more confident assessments
- Applied to both entity confidence and relationship confidence/strength

**3. State History Tracking**
- New `state_history` array in entity/relationship metadata
- Tracks all changes from promotions
- Includes old and new values for types, confidence, and strength
- Records timestamp and source (shortterm_memory_id)

**4. Promotion History**
- Shortterm memory now tracks its promotion history
- Records counts of added and modified chunks/entities/relationships
- Helps analyze promotion patterns and memory evolution

### Algorithm Steps

1. **Update Timestamps**: Update `last_updated` for existing longterm chunks
2. **Copy Chunks**: Copy all shortterm chunks to longterm (no filtering)
3. **Get Entities**: Fetch all shortterm and longterm entities
4. **Process Entities**: For each shortterm entity:
   - Match by name (case-insensitive)
   - If exists: merge types, recalculate confidence, add state history
   - If new: create with initial state history entry
5. **Get Relationships**: Fetch all shortterm and longterm relationships
6. **Process Relationships**: For each shortterm relationship:
   - Match by source and target entity names
   - If exists: merge types, recalculate confidence/strength, add state history
   - If new: create with initial state history entry
7. **Update Metadata**: Add promotion history to shortterm memory

### Benefits

- ✅ **No Data Loss**: All types preserved through merging
- ✅ **Better Confidence**: Weighted averages produce more accurate values
- ✅ **Full Audit Trail**: Complete history of entity/relationship evolution
- ✅ **Promotion Tracking**: Monitor promotion patterns and effectiveness
- ✅ **Debugging Support**: State history aids in troubleshooting

### Files Modified

- `agent_mem/database/models.py` - Added `last_updated` to LongtermMemoryChunk

## Next Steps for Production

### 1. Database Migration
```bash
# Backup database
pg_dump -U postgres -d agent_mem -F c -f backup.dump

# Run migration
psql -U postgres -d agent_mem -f agent_mem/sql/migrations/001_batch_update_consolidation.sql

# Verify
psql -U postgres -d agent_mem -c "\d shortterm_memory_chunk"
```

### 2. Configuration
```bash
# Set environment variables
export AVG_SECTION_UPDATE_COUNT=5.0
export SHORTTERM_UPDATE_THRESHOLD=10
```

### 3. Testing
```bash
# Run all tests
pytest tests/ -v

# Run new tests specifically
pytest tests/test_batch_update_features.py -v
pytest tests/test_mcp_batch_update.py -v
```

### 4. Deployment
```bash
# Update code
git pull origin main

# Install dependencies
pip install -e .

# Restart services
systemctl restart agent-mem-service
```

### 5. Monitoring
- Track consolidation frequency
- Monitor threshold effectiveness
- Watch for lock contentions
- Verify metadata growth

## Database Migration Required ⚠️

Before testing, run the migration script to add new columns to existing databases:

```bash
# Connect to PostgreSQL and run:
psql -U postgres -d agent_mem -f agent_mem/sql/migrations/001_batch_update_consolidation.sql
```

Or apply changes manually:
```sql
-- Add section_id to shortterm_memory_chunk
ALTER TABLE shortterm_memory_chunk ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS section_id TEXT;
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_shortterm_chunk_section 
  ON shortterm_memory_chunk(shortterm_memory_id, section_id);

-- Add update_count to shortterm_memory
ALTER TABLE shortterm_memory ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS update_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0;

-- Add last_updated to longterm_memory_chunk
ALTER TABLE longterm_memory_chunk ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS last_updated TIMESTAMP;
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_longterm_chunk_updated 
  ON longterm_memory_chunk(last_updated);
```

---

## Testing Strategy

### Unit Tests (After Phase 5-6)
- Test batch update with multiple sections
- Test single section update (backward compatibility)
- Test threshold calculation
- Test concurrent consolidation locking

### Integration Tests (After Phase 7-8)
- Test end-to-end: batch update → consolidation → promotion
- Test conflict detection and resolution
- Test section_id tracking through workflow

---

## Notes

- ✅ All changes maintain backward compatibility
- ✅ Database schema changes are additive (nullable columns)
- ✅ Old API methods still work through delegation
- ✅ Migration script includes verification
- 🔄 Next: Implement repository methods for batch updates
