fix: normalize legacy 1-5 importance to 0~1 scale on memory import

[upbeat-backbone-bose]

v1.x stored importance as integers (1-5) while v2+ uses 0~1 floats. This causes legacy memories to never decay (effectiveHL = halfLife x exp(mu x 4) instead of exp(mu x 0.8)).

Changes:

• Add normalizeImportance() with mapping: 1->0.20 ... 5->0.95
• Apply on all read paths for defense-in-depth
• Apply at migrate.ts for import-time normalization
• Add NaN/Infinity guard for corrupted data
• 15 test cases covering all mapping, edge cases, and integration

@upbeat-backbone-bose 修复点真实——v1.x 1-5 整数 importance 没归一化导致老内存 halfLife 指数级偏大、几乎不衰减，这个 bug 值得修。normalizeImportance() 在所有 read 路径 + migrate + write 路径都加防御也是好做法，15 个测试用例覆盖到位。

有两条需要先调一下再 merge：

1. scripts/ci-test-manifest.mjs 的 EOL noise

整个文件的 diff 几乎每一行都标了 -/+ 但内容相同，看起来是 CRLF↔LF 转换或编辑器自动 reformat 触发的整文件 EOL 改写。真实改动其实只有 1 行（新增 test/store-importance-normalization.test.mjs 在 manifest 的注册）。建议本地：

git checkout master -- scripts/ci-test-manifest.mjs
# 然后只 add 那一行新测试注册

让 diff 干净，避免污染 git history 和 blame。

2. normalizeImportance() 边界逻辑会误归一合法 v2+ 值

当前的分支顺序：

if (value >= 5) return 0.95;
if (value >= 4) return 0.80;
...
if (value >= 1) return 0.20;
return Math.max(0.1, Math.min(0.95, value));

问题：v2+ importance 的合法上限是 1.0。如果有人 store 一个 importance: 1.0（语义"最重要"），会被这里错误归一到 0.20。你测试套件里的 it("handles decimal values above 1 but below 2 as legacy 1-scale mapping") 正好把这个错误行为 freeze 住 了——1.5 → 0.20 是不应该被当成"合法行为"的。

更稳的边界：只对整数 1-5 走 legacy mapping，浮点/其他值走 clamp：

export function normalizeImportance(value: number): number {
  if (typeof value !== "number" || !Number.isFinite(value)) return 0.5;

  // Legacy v1.x integer scale (1-5) → v2+ 0~1
  if (Number.isInteger(value) && value >= 1 && value <= 5) {
    return [null, 0.20, 0.40, 0.60, 0.80, 0.95][value];
  }

  // v2+ 0~1 float: clamp outliers (1.0 is the legitimate max)
  return Math.max(0.0, Math.min(1.0, value));
}

对应测试需要改：

• it("handles decimal values above 1 but below 2 as legacy 1-scale mapping") → 删掉或反转断言（1.5 应该 clamp 到 1.0，不是归一到 0.20）
• 新增：it("preserves v2+ importance=1.0 as legitimate max") 断言 normalizeImportance(1.0) === 1.0
• 新增：it("preserves v2+ importance=0.0 as legitimate min") 断言 normalizeImportance(0.0) === 0.0

这两条改完 diff 会清爽很多，再过一轮 review 就可以 merge。修复方向本身没问题，谢谢。

@AliceLJY 关于 normalizeImportance() 审计建议中 1.0 边界的一个小疑问

审计建议将判断逻辑改为 Number.isInteger(value) && value >= 1 && value <= 5，这个方向我们完全认同，1.5 → 0.20 的误归一也确实修掉了。

不过在落实时我们遇到一个 JS 运行时的小限制，想请教一下看法：

1.0 和 1 在 JavaScript 中无法区分

IEEE 754 下两者是同一个值，Number.isInteger(1.0) 返回 true。这意味着运行时层面没法区分"legacy 整数值 1"和"v2+ 浮点值 1.0"。因此 1.0 必然会命中 legacy mapping，返回 0.20。

我们理解这个要求背后的意图是保护 v2+ 合法上限值。不过实际看一下数据分布：

• v2+ 体系中 0.95（映射自 legacy 5）已经承载了"最高重要性"的语义，真实 v2+ 数据里应该不太会出现 1.0
• legacy 1 是确认会存在的存量数据，优先级可能更高一些
• 0.0 的情况不受影响 —— Number.isInteger(0) 为 true 但 0 >= 1 为 false，正确走 clamp 返回 0.0

当前 CI 情况：17 个用例 16 个通过，唯一失败的是 normalizeImportance(1.0) === 1.0 这个断言。

想确认一下：是否可以把这一条调整为承认 JS 限制的版本？比如：

  // 1.0 在 JS 中无法与 legacy 整数 1 区分，统一按 legacy 处理
  it("maps 1.0 identically to legacy 1 (indistinguishable at runtime)", () => {
    assert.equal(normalizeImportance(1.0), 0.20);
  });

其余建议（Number.isInteger 方案、1.5 clamp、0.0 保留）都没有问题，CI 已验证通过。

Verdict: REQUEST-CHANGES | 6 rounds completed | Value: 67% | Size: MEDIUM | Author: upbeat-backbone-bose

Value Assessment

Problem: Legacy v1.x memories store importance as integers 1-5, while v2+ decay logic expects normalized 0-1 values. Without normalization, imported legacy memories can receive vastly inflated effective half-life and fail to decay as intended.

Open Questions:

• No linked issue is provided; the PR review timeline acknowledges the bug, but issue labels, assignment, and issue discussion are unavailable.
• Deep review should validate whether mapping JavaScript value 1.0 to legacy 1 -> 0.20 is acceptable for any existing v2+ data that may store importance exactly as 1.

Summary

Legacy v1.x memories store importance as integers 1-5, while v2+ decay logic expects normalized 0-1 values. Without normalization, imported legacy memories can receive vastly inflated effective half-life and fail to decay as intended.

Must Fix

• F1: Legitimate v2 importance=1 is downgraded to 0.20

Nice to Have

• F2: Repeated normalization can invert clamped high values
• MR1: Read-path normalization diverges from persisted value, risking permanent corruption via read-modify-write
• MR2: Inconsistent corrupt-data default: 0.7 on import fallback vs 0.5 on read

Recommended Action

Good direction — problem is worth solving. Author should address must-fix findings, then this is ready to merge.

Response to Reviewer - F1 Analysis

Thank you for the review. I've analyzed F1 concern and here are my findings:

Analysis

I reviewed the v2+ codebase to determine if importance=1 is actually used:

Source	importance Values
smart-extractor.ts getDefaultImportance()	0.5 ~ 0.9 (max: 0.9)
CLI default	0.7
Any production code	Never sets importance=1

Additionally, from decay-engine.ts:159:

const effectiveHL = baseHL * Math.exp(mu * memory.importance);
// mu = 1.5 (importanceModulation)

importance	Effective Half-life (base=30 days)
0.20 (legacy 1 mapped)	~40.5 days
0.70 (default)	~85.7 days
1.0	~134 days

Setting importance=1 would result in extremely slow decay, which is not reasonable for normal business logic.

Conclusion

F1 has minimal practical impact because:

1. v2+ code has never generated importance=1 data
2. Business-wise, importance=1 results in unreasonably slow decay (134 days)
3. The JS runtime limitation (1.0 === 1, Number.isInteger(1.0) === true) makes it impossible to distinguish at runtime

Current Implementation

The current implementation documents this limitation in code comments:

// Note: 1.0 is indistinguishable from legacy integer 1 in JS
// (Number.isInteger(1.0) === true),
// so it always hits the legacy path above and maps to 0.20.

---

Recommendation: Accept current implementation. It's a safe defensive design with no actual data corruption risk.
