codebase-memory-mcp Shipped an Emergency Fix for a Windows Owner-SID Bug That Blocked Every Admin Account
DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp (38,900 stars) released v0.10.4 on 2026-08-14 after v0.10.3 refused to install or start for Administrators-group accounts on Windows, failing with `activation transaction I/O failed: owner-not-current-user` or exiting during MCP startup with a closed transport and nothing in the log. The root cause is a precise and widely reusable one: the installer compared a file's owner against the token's *user* SID, but Windows stamps newly-created objects with the token's *owner* SID, which defaults to `BUILTIN\Administrators` for any admin-group member — so the installer created a staging file and then rejected its own file seconds later. The release notes credit users who root-caused it before the maintainers did.
