# Reported issues for mindmap-mcp-server

Pod holds 6 of 6 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user.

## Most discussed

### Project/workspace-aware resume (pick the right folder for a topic)

**Idea:** When you resume a topic, Mind Map should also infer **which workspace/project folder** the discussion belongs to, so you continue in the right directory — not just with the right context.

**Why:** With cluster-resume, you describe a topic and get the merged thread. The natural next step is: "…and this lived in `~/code/commerce-grid` — continue there?"

**Sketch:**
- Store the **project root path** (cwd) on memories at capture + import (today we keep only the project *name* via `tags`/

### Persona conflict resolution + tool scope

**Problem:** Today global + project persona facts both surface with no conflict resolution; only project scope exists, not tool scope.

**Proposal:** (1) Project overrides global on a genuine conflict. (2) Add a `tool:` scope (e.g. terse for terminal, verbose for email) on top of global/project.

**Why:** Surfaced in r/mcp feedback (NovaAgent2026 — terminal-vs-email; persona conflict question). Promised on-thread.

**Acceptance:** renderPersona resolves conflicts (tool > project > global); tool

### Provenance-first-class retrieval ('what did I figure out in the previous tool')

**Proposal:** Make 'what did I figure out in the *previous tool*' a first-class retrieval mode, not just a `source` filter — e.g. on tool switch, surface fresh memories from the prior tool.

**Why:** Provenance helps decide what's still relevant when switching tools.
Surfaced in r/mcp feedback (NovaAgent2026).

**Acceptance:** retrieval mode/tool ranking by source + freshness; tests. (Effort: M)

### Trust label: stale-since-capture detection (files changed)

**Proposal:** For code-linked memories, detect whether referenced files changed since capture and flag the memory as potentially stale.

**Why:** Knowing files changed since capture helps decide whether a note is still current (trust labels).
Surfaced in r/mcp feedback (Conscious_Chapter_93).

**Acceptance:** record file refs/timestamps at capture; compare on read; surface staleness; tests. (Effort: M)

### Capture next-steps / open work (better handoff)

**Problem:** Capture records the discussion but not what's *unfinished*. On resume, the most useful thing is 'where did I stop / what's left.'

**Proposal:** Optional `nextSteps` / `openQuestions` on capture (nudge the model + brainstorm skill to fill it); surface prominently on resume.

**Why:** Directly strengthens the core capture→resume handoff.

**Acceptance:** capture accepts next-steps; resume surfaces them; tests. (Effort: S)

### Redaction / secret-scan on capture & import

**Problem:** Captured and imported memories are stored verbatim in `~/.mindmap` (plaintext). Imports especially can drag in secrets (API keys, tokens) pasted into past sessions.

**Proposal:** A local, no-LLM scan at capture/import that detects common secret patterns (`sk-…`, `AKIA…`, `ghp_…`, `github_pat_…`, bearer tokens) and masks them or flags the memory (`redacted: true`).

**Why:** Reinforces the trust story; makes importing real history safe.
Surfaced in r/mcp feedback (Conscious_Chapter_
