feat(memory): forget what a disconnected app, messaging app, device or folder taught Sentient - #429
Conversation
…der taught Sentient Disconnecting an app, an MCP server, a messaging app, a device or a folder offers "Also forget what Sentient learned from it", with a count beforehand. Facts now link every source they came from (fact_sources), so a fact another source still backs only loses the forgotten one. Forgetting also removes that source's chats, summaries, vectors, app results in chats and cached items, and shows in Activity. Closes #153

Explanation
Issue
#153requires the checked flow to leave no facts, indexed messages, or vectors derived from the disconnected source. The PR adds source attribution for new channel and device chats, purges source-only facts and vectors, removes related chats, and reports tests for checked and unchecked flows. However, facts saved before this change retain sourceconversation, as the PR states. Forgetting a channel or device therefore cannot identify those historical source-derived facts or their vectors. This leaves a concrete part of#153incomplete.Resolution
Add a migration or backfill that attributes identifiable historical channel and device facts to their source, or add equivalent historical-source purge logic. Add regression tests that seed pre-change data and verify checked flows remove its facts, indexed messages, and vectors while unchecked flows preserve them.

The linked issue does not require folder or MCP forgetting, and the changes are not needed for its acceptance criteria.Resolution
Remove the folder and MCP forget changes, or link them to active issues that require those coding changes before merge.

A rabbit checked the “forget” box with care
And watched source-linked memories thin in the air
Shared facts stayed, still backed by their roots
Counts hopped along with chats and pursuits
Activity noted what left the burrow
Then the rabbit nibbled clover tomorrow
And bounded away with a clean little furrow

Review comments at @changes/153.added.md:
- Line 5: Update the disconnect copy in the release note to limit the promise to
learned data: replace the claim that nothing is deleted with wording that says
Sentient keeps what it learned.
Review comments at @desktop/src/features/memory/ForgetLearned.tsx:
- Around line 24-25: Update the available-work check in ForgetLearned to include
the shared-memory count, so users can select the operation when shared is the
only nonzero count. In the preview and result text, describe shared-memory
handling as unlinking from this source rather than deleting.
Review comments at @desktop/src/hooks/memory.ts:
- Around line 9-11: Update the memory.forgotten handler to invalidate cached
message queries as well as memories, sessions, and timeline data, so retained
transcripts refresh after forgetting. Use the existing qk.messages query-key
pattern to invalidate all relevant message queries.
Review comments at @desktop/src/lib/events.ts:
- Around line 191-193: Update the memory.forgotten handler to invalidate all
cached message queries in addition to the existing memories and sessions
queries. Add a messages-wide query key in the query-key definitions that matches
the prefix of qk.messages(sessionId), and invalidate it from the handler.
Review comments at @docs/API.md:
- Line 92: Update the `memory.forgotten` contract so `counts` documents only the
count fields and excludes `source`, which remains a sibling event field; align
the desktop shared event type if it uses the same `ForgetCounts` definition.
Review comments at @sentient/memory/facts.py:
- Line 1115: Record whether an outside-content review applies before the
instruction check can replace review["reason"] with reviews.INSTRUCTION, then
use that saved status to determine held instead of inferring it from the
overwritten reason. Preserve the existing review and instruction-check behavior.

An instruction held from outside content still belongs to the app it came from, a source that only shares memories can still be forgotten (it unlinks them), transcripts refresh after a forget, and the event's counts are documented as they are sent.

Closes #153
Summary
Disconnecting Gmail, IMAP, Home Assistant or another app, removing an MCP server, a device or a folder, or disconnecting Telegram, Discord or WhatsApp now offers "Also forget what Sentient learned from it", with a count first ("Forget 3 memories and 1 chat with 6 messages. 1 memory you also shared elsewhere stays."). Leave it clear and nothing more is deleted than before.
Source links. Facts had one
source, and every chat fact wasconversation. Now (MEM-3, #152, is still open, so this adds the smallest link model it needs):origins.backs, deterministic);Forgetting a source (
sentient/memory/forget.py):API:
GET /api/memories/forget-preview?source=,?forget=trueon the five disconnect/remove routes (response gainsforgotten),DELETE /api/memories/source/{source}now unlinks shared facts and returns{deleted, unlinked}. Contract in docs/API.md §7.Desktop:

Real test on a fresh home (
SENTIENT_HOMEunder the scratchpad), engine on 8787, REST + WS. Seeded/demo sources, not real accounts (we move to real test accounts later): the fake Telegram Bot API from earlier PRs (SENTIENT_TELEGRAM_API), and a local folder of two notes.

tests/memory/test_forget_source.py, offline): chat facts take the chat's source; folder link only when the excerpt says it; held facts belong to the app read; purge unlinks shared and deletes the rest (vectors, links); merged copies count as sources; forgetting a messaging app (chats, summaries + vectors, insights, Activity text); forgetting Gmail scrubs tool results (FTS), reply sources, cached emails, seen ids, summaries and keeps what Maya said herself; REST: disconnect without the box deletes nothing, with it forgets; device and folder removal withforget.
