A patch three days later fixed four bugs common to long-running agent memory, from hung ingest to a file lock that never releases.
Why now: The fix landed three days after the feature, still the freshest read on what breaks first when agents run unattended.
MemPalace shipped an append-only logstream on August 11 that lets agents on separate machines delegate work without a human relay, per GitHub. Version 3.7.0 also lets agents wait for replies, swap patches, and acknowledge handoffs through a shared hub. It adds pluggable embeddings and what GitHub calls an integrity spine.
Three days later a patch fixed four bugs that hit long-running agent memory once it runs unattended for days.
Ingest no longer hangs when os.walk hits a named pipe. Incomplete mines can now be retried instead of getting skipped for good. A chromadb reconnect no longer rewinds the HNSW vector index. And MCP releases its writer lease on SIGTERM or SIGHUP, per GitHub.
None of the four bugs are exotic. They're the standard ways agent memory breaks once left unattended: a stalled crawl, a stuck job, a drifting index, a lock nobody releases.
GitHub's release notes don't say how long any of the four bugs sat live before the fix landed. The patch shipped three days after the feature that needed it.
