Bug Description
isShortTermMemoryPath() in the dreaming doctor.memory.status endpoint fails to match daily memory files that have timestamp suffixes in their names (e.g. memory/2026-05-28-1503.md). Only files matching the strict memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md pattern are counted.
This causes promotedToday, shortTermCount, and promotedTotal to show incorrect values in the WebUI Dreams tab.
Root Cause
The regex in isShortTermMemoryPath():
/(?:^|\/)memory\/(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})\.md$/Only matches memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md. Files with timestamp suffixes like memory/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM.md are skipped.
Impact
- WebUI Dreams → Advanced tab shows "0 promoted today" despite successful promotions
shortTermCount underreports by filtering out entries with timestamp-suffixed pathsdoctor.memory.status API returns incorrect stats- Actual dreaming functionality is unaffected — Deep Sleep still promotes entries to MEMORY.md correctly
Evidence
Recall store (memory/.dreams/short-term-recall.json) contains entries with paths like:
memory/2026-05-28-1503.md ❌ (skipped by regex)memory/2026-05-28-1652.md ❌ (skipped by regex)memory/2026-05-28.md ✅ (matches regex)
Testing the regex against all 512 recall store entries:
- 286 entries pass the
isShortTermMemoryPath filter
- 226 entries are skipped due to timestamp suffixes
The 2 entries promoted today both have timestamp-suffixed paths and are skipped, so promotedToday stays at 0.
Related Issues
Suggested Fix
Update the regex to also match timestamp-suffixed filenames:
/(?:^|\/)memory\/(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})(?:-\d{4})?\.md$/Or use a more flexible pattern that handles both formats.
