Description

Successfully fixed bug #1518 where system messages and internal review prompts were incorrectly stored as user memory chunks.

Root Cause

In src/memos/mem_reader/read_multi_modal/system_parser.py, the parse_fast() method was storing ALL system messages (including internal review prompts and system instructions) as LongTermMemory chunks, polluting the user's retrievable memory with system-level content that should never be stored.

Solution Implemented

Modified SystemParser.parse_fast() to immediately return an empty list for system messages that don't contain tool schemas. This prevents system prompts and internal review messages from being stored as memory chunks while preserving correct tool schema handling.

Changes Made

  1. Added early return logic (lines 116-122): Detects non-tool-schema system messages and returns empty list
  2. Removed problematic storage code (deleted 42 lines): Eliminated code that was creating LongTermMemory chunks for system messages
  3. Updated documentation: Added clear docstring explaining the new behavior

Files Changed

  • src/memos/mem_reader/read_multi_modal/system_parser.py - Core fix implementation
  • tests/mem_reader/test_system_parser.py - Comprehensive test coverage (new file)

Verification

  • ✅ Syntax check: No Python errors
  • ✅ Ruff linting: All checks passed
  • ✅ Ruff formatting: Code formatted correctly
  • ✅ Test coverage: 5 test cases covering all scenarios
  • ✅ No breaking changes: Tool schema handling unchanged

Impact

  • System prompts and internal review messages are no longer stored in user memory
  • Tool schemas continue to be stored correctly as ToolSchemaMemory
  • Reduces memory storage overhead by filtering out non-user content
  • Prevents memory pollution with system-level instructions

The fix is minimal, focused, and follows the project's TDD approach with comprehensive test coverage.
