Alex Newman 34c734a1a4 refactor(server): rename server-beta → server runtime (plan phase 1)
Foundational rename: the server runtime is now `server`, not `server-beta`.
Removes the literal-string regression in `runtime-selector.ts` where only
`CLAUDE_MEM_RUNTIME='server-beta'` was accepted (anything else silently
fell back to the worker runtime).

What changed (1a–1d per plans/2026-05-25-cmem-sdk-and-server-rename.md):

- 1a Regression fix: `selectRuntime()` accepts both `'server'` and
  `'server-beta'` (canonicalizing to `'server'`); new settings keys
  `CLAUDE_MEM_SERVER_{URL,API_KEY,PROJECT_ID}` read first, legacy
  `*_BETA_*` keys fall back via a `pickFirstNonEmpty` helper.
- 1b Code identifiers: ~80 `ServerBeta*`/`serverBeta*`/`SERVER_BETA_*`
  symbols (classes, types, functions, vars, non-persisted constants) →
  `Server*`/`server*`/`SERVER_*`.
- 1c File renames: 14 files moved via `git mv` (tracked as renames);
  build target `server-beta-service` → `server-service` (emits
  `plugin/scripts/server-service.cjs`); dispatch sites in
  `worker-service.ts`, `runtime.ts`, `ServerService.ts` keep a documented
  `existsSync` fallback to the legacy `.cjs` for installs running from a
  pre-rename plugin cache (plan §1c line 149).
- 1d Persisted-value back-compat (zero-risk path):
  - DB table name `server_beta_schema_migrations` preserved
  - Job/source enum strings (`server_beta_generate_event`, …) preserved
  - `lockedBy: 'server-beta-worker'` literal preserved
  - Installer writes new canonical settings keys + `'server'` runtime
    value going forward; reads dual-accept old + new.

Verification:
- Typecheck: 24/24 baseline errors unchanged (no new errors introduced).
- Tests: 1810 pass / 54 fail / 19 skip — failure count matches the
  pre-Phase-1 baseline; no new failures introduced.
- Build: `npm run build` succeeds; `plugin/scripts/server-service.cjs`
  emitted.

Server Beta Parity Map

This document enumerates every legacy worker HTTP route under /api/ and records its status in the Server beta runtime (Phase 9 onwards).

Each row uses one of three statuses:

  • native — Server beta has its own implementation under /v1/* (or another non-legacy path) and clients should migrate to it.
  • adapter — A compatibility adapter under src/server/compat/* translates the legacy payload into a /v1/*-equivalent code path. Adapter response shapes preserve the worker's so existing clients keep working unchanged.
  • unsupported — The Server beta runtime intentionally does not serve the route. The reason is documented inline. Clients that need that surface must continue using the legacy worker runtime.

The Server beta runtime is selected via CLAUDE_MEM_RUNTIME=server-beta. The worker runtime remains the default for now.

Session lifecycle (legacy /api/sessions/*)

Legacy path Native server-beta replacement Adapter Status
POST /api/sessions/init POST /v1/sessions/start (no adapter — clients should call /v1/sessions/start directly) native*
POST /api/sessions/observations POST /v1/events src/server/compat/SessionsObservationsAdapter.ts adapter
POST /api/sessions/summarize POST /v1/sessions/:id/end src/server/compat/SessionsSummarizeAdapter.ts adapter
GET /api/sessions/status GET /v1/sessions/:id (no adapter) native*

* native rows above mark routes whose canonical replacement exists under /v1/* but no automatic translation is provided. The legacy hook layer is expected to use the new client (ServerBetaClient) directly. Old worker clients that still POST /api/sessions/init against a Server beta port get a 404 — by design, since the contract differs (init implicitly created a session DB id, sessions/start returns a project-scoped server_session UUID).

Health and runtime info

Legacy path Native server-beta replacement Adapter Status
GET /api/health GET /api/health (none — same path) native
GET /api/info GET /v1/info (none) native
GET /healthz GET /healthz (none — same path) native

/api/health is served by the shared Server class for both runtimes; the JSON payload includes runtime: "server-beta" when the Server beta runtime is active. /api/info is served by the worker runtime only and should be replaced by /v1/info for Server beta clients.

Search, context, and instructions

Legacy path Native server-beta replacement Adapter Status
GET /api/search POST /v1/search (none) unsupported (legacy GET — see note 1)
GET /api/timeline (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/decisions (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/changes (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/how-it-works (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/search/observations POST /v1/search (none) unsupported (legacy shape; new clients use /v1/search)
GET /api/search/sessions (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/search/prompts (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/search/by-concept (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/search/by-file (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/search/by-type (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/context/recent POST /v1/context (none) unsupported (legacy GET shape)
GET /api/context/timeline (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/context/preview (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/context/inject (none yet) (none) unsupported
POST /api/context/semantic POST /v1/context (none) unsupported
GET /api/onboarding/explainer (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/timeline/by-query (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/search/help (none yet) (none) unsupported

Note 1: legacy GET /api/search accepts query-string parameters and returns a denormalized SQLite-shaped result. The Server beta /v1/search POST API takes a JSON body {projectId, query, limit} and returns a normalized observation array. We deliberately do not adapt the legacy shape because (a) legacy callers are already in a phased migration to the MCP search tool which goes through /v1/search, (b) supporting the SQLite shape would require shimming a SQLite read layer back into the Postgres runtime, which contradicts the Phase 9 anti-pattern guard.

Memory write paths

Legacy path Native server-beta replacement Adapter Status
POST /api/memory/save POST /v1/memories (none) unsupported (legacy schema — new clients use /v1/memories)

Settings and runtime control

Legacy path Native server-beta replacement Adapter Status
GET /api/settings (none — settings are env vars in server-beta) (none) unsupported
POST /api/settings (none — settings are env vars in server-beta) (none) unsupported
GET /api/mcp/status GET /v1/info (none) unsupported (legacy shape)
POST /api/mcp/toggle (none — server-beta MCP is always on) (none) unsupported
GET /api/branch/status (none yet) (none) unsupported
POST /api/branch/switch (none yet) (none) unsupported
POST /api/branch/update (none yet) (none) unsupported

Settings in Server beta are environment variables and the API key surface in api_keys; there is no mutable user-settings JSON file. The branch routes were a worker-specific feature and are not exposed by Server beta.

Logs

Legacy path Native server-beta replacement Adapter Status
GET /api/logs (none — server-beta logs to stdout) (none) unsupported
POST /api/logs/clear (none — log is append-only stream) (none) unsupported

Data viewer (read-only legacy data)

Legacy path Native server-beta replacement Adapter Status
GET /api/observations POST /v1/search / /v1/context (none) unsupported (see note 2)
GET /api/summaries (none yet) (none) unsupported (note 2)
GET /api/prompts (none yet) (none) unsupported (note 2)
GET /api/observation/:id (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/observations/by-file (none yet) (none) unsupported
POST /api/observations/batch (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/session/:id GET /v1/sessions/:id (none) unsupported (legacy shape)
POST /api/sdk-sessions/batch (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/prompt/:id (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/stats (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/projects GET /v1/projects (planned) (none) unsupported
GET /api/processing-status (none yet) (none) unsupported
POST /api/processing (none yet) (none) unsupported
POST /api/import (none yet) (none) unsupported

Note 2: the legacy data viewer routes return SQLite-shaped rows joined across worker-specific tables (e.g. sdk_sessions.message_id). Server beta stores data in Postgres with a different normalized shape. Reproducing the legacy join shapes would require a translation layer that competes with the canonical /v1/* API. Out of scope for Phase 9. The viewer UI continues to use the worker's /api/* data routes for now; in Server beta-only deployments the viewer is expected to call /v1/* directly (planned for a follow-up phase). Listed as unsupported so that callers know they MUST run the worker runtime if they need the legacy SQLite data viewer.

Corpus and skills

Legacy path Native server-beta replacement Adapter Status
POST /api/corpus (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/corpus (none yet) (none) unsupported
GET /api/corpus/:name (none yet) (none) unsupported
DELETE /api/corpus/:name (none yet) (none) unsupported
POST /api/corpus/:name/rebuild (none yet) (none) unsupported
POST /api/corpus/:name/prime (none yet) (none) unsupported
POST /api/corpus/:name/query (none yet) (none) unsupported
POST /api/corpus/:name/reprime (none yet) (none) unsupported

Corpora are a Chroma-backed worker feature. The Server beta storage layer is Postgres-only. Migration of the corpus subsystem to Server beta is out of scope for Phase 9.

Chroma vector status

Legacy path Native server-beta replacement Adapter Status
GET /api/chroma/status (none — server-beta is Postgres-only) (none) unsupported

Anti-pattern guards (referenced in Phase 9)

The following grep MUST return zero matches:

rg -n "services/worker/http/routes|WorkerService" src/server/compat src/server/runtime
rg -n "from '.*services/worker" src/server/compat

Compat adapters live in src/server/compat/ and call only:

  • src/server/services/IngestEventsService.ts
  • src/server/services/EndSessionService.ts
  • src/storage/postgres/*
  • src/server/middleware/postgres-auth.ts

They never reach into worker route classes, the worker DatabaseManager, or the WorkerService — which is the load-bearing decoupling Phase 9 enforces.
