+A database created with `type: "unified"` keeps knowledge and memory in ONE corpus. There is no new API version: the same v2 endpoints serve it. What changes on it is the ingest body, the query response, and that `type` is never sent.
## What the plugin does
-- On startup it reads the configured database's layout once from `GET /databases` (`details[].type`). A failed probe reads as `split`, which is what every database created before this change is.
-- On a **unified** database every call sends `type: "unified"` (the only value the server accepts there; `memory`/`knowledge` are refused with a 400), recall is one ranked list rendered as a single `CONTEXT` section, and every write (turn capture, session upsert, `/hydradb-remember`, workspace sync) goes through the unified `items[]` body.
-- On a **split** database nothing changes: `searchMode`/`ingestionMode` behave exactly as before.
+- On startup it reads the configured database's layout once from `GET /databases` (`details[].type` is `"split"` or `"unified"`; absent means split). A failed probe reads as `split`, which is what every database created before this change is.
+- On a **unified** database the plugin sends no `type` on any call, writes every memory (turn capture, session upsert, `/hydradb:ingest --note`, workspace sync) through the JSON ingest body below, and injects the server-built `llm_prompt` from the four-key query response as the recall context.
+- On a **split** database nothing changes: the multipart ingest, `type` on every call, the MEMORY/KNOWLEDGE context block, and `searchMode`/`ingestionMode` behave exactly as before.

-A workspace file's `metadata` becomes `attributes` and its `additional_metadata` becomes `custom_attributes`; `timestamp` becomes `happened_at`. `source`, `description` and `url` have no field of their own on an item, so they ride in `custom_attributes` rather than being dropped — a synced file keeps the same provenance it has on a split database.
+The list key is `context`. Each item is exactly one of `text` or `conversation` (turns are `{role, content, name?}` with roles `user`, `assistant`, `system`). The item fields are the contract's: `context_id` (was `source_id`), `title`, `enrich` (was `infer`), `upsert`, `instructions` (was `custom_instructions`), `happened_at` (YYYY-MM-DD only; the workspace sync cuts it from the file's mtime), `attributes` (was `metadata`; declared, filterable), `custom_attributes` (was `additional_metadata`; free-form), `context_category`, `forceful_relations`, `acl`. `enrich`, `upsert` and `instructions` may also be given once at request level as the default for every item.
+
+`is_markdown` and `user_name` are not item fields, so a text item carries them inside `custom_attributes`; a conversation's attribution is the per-turn `name`. A workspace file's `metadata` becomes `attributes`, its `additional_metadata` becomes `custom_attributes`, and `source`, `description` and `url` ride in `custom_attributes` too, so a synced file keeps the same provenance it has on a split database.

+ "success_count": 1, "failed_count": 0 }
+```
+
+inside the usual `{success, data, meta}` envelope. `results[].source_id` is the context id (the one sent, or the one the server generated when none was). `/hydradb:ingest --note` prints it, and `ingest --session --json` returns the queued ids as `contextIds`. Poll `GET /context/status?database=..&ids=..` for indexing progress.

+- `temporal[]` is present only when the query engaged a dated fact: `content` is the fact with its dated sides (`Start: YYYY-MM-DD`, `End: YYYY-MM-DD`), and `start_date` / `end_date` are ISO dates or null.
+
+`llm_prompt` is markdown: a `# Query results` header with the `**Query:**`, `**Found:**` and cite lines, then `## Results` (`### 1. ` per result, with its relevance, collection, type and `**Category:**` on the meta line, then the content and `**Enrichment:**`), `## Forceful relations` (`### R1.` entries with `**Linked from:**`), `## Related facts` (`[P1]` graph paths), `## Temporal facts` and `## Sources`.
+
+What the plugin does with it:
+
+- The `` block injected on each prompt contains `llm_prompt` verbatim (secret redaction and the `maxContextChars` budget still apply). It numbers what the model is asked to cite (results `1.`, forceful relations `R1.`, related facts `[P1]`, cited in brackets as `[1]`, `[R1]`, `[P1]`), so the plugin never rebuilds it from the chunks.
+- `query --json` returns `searchMode: "unified"` and a `unified` object: `chunks[]` (`contextId`, `chunkId`, `score`, `content`, `enrichment` (a string), `enrichmentKind`, `temporal[]`), `graph[]` (`origin`, `pathSummary`, `triplets`), `forcefulRelations[]` (`via{from,to}`, `chunk` with the same fields) and `llmPrompt`. The text output renders the structured fields in the same markdown layout as `llm_prompt`: `## Results` with `### 1.` per chunk (headed by its `context_id`, since chunks carry no title), `**Relevance:**` and `**Category:**` on the meta line, `**Enrichment:**` and `**Temporal:**` lines, then `## Forceful relations` with the server's guide line and `### R1.` entries, and `## Related facts` with `[P1]` paths.
+- `/hydradb:last-recall` reports `unifiedCount`, `unifiedGraphPathCount` and `unifiedForcefulRelationCount` for a unified recall.
+- Chunks carry nothing about their source (no title, url, collection or timestamps). Use `GET /context/inspect?database=..&id=` for that.
+- The parser tells the two shapes apart by shape (`graph` and `forceful_relations` are arrays and `llm_prompt` a string, versus `graph_context` and `chunk_content`), never by a flag, because split databases and stored logs keep producing the old shape. The bucket is read from `forceful_relations` only: a body that names it `relations` is refused as not the unified body, never read as one.
+- `graph[].origin` is `"query_path"` (a path grown from the query's entities) or `"chunk_relation"` (the neighbourhood of a returned chunk); `query --json` carries it as `unified.graph[].origin`, and leaves it off a path whose origin is missing or not one of those two.
+- The envelope `meta` of a unified response carries `request_id`, `api_version`, `latency_ms`, `database` and `collection`, and no `tenant_id`, `sub_tenant_id` or `source_type`. The plugin reads no field of `meta` on a unified database.
+
+## Other endpoints
-Nothing the split lane carried is dropped on the way. `is_markdown` and `user_name` are on the item, the same two fields `MemoryItem` has always had, so a workspace file chunks and renders the same way and keeps its attribution whichever layout it lands on. A conversation's attribution rides on the per-turn `name` instead, which is what the server reads first.
+`POST /context/list`, `DELETE /context`, `GET /context/relations`, `GET /context/inspect`, `GET /context/status`: unchanged shapes, and the plugin sends no `type` to a unified database on any of them.
`searchMode: "unified"` and `ingestionMode: "unified"` are accepted as explicit spellings, and `searchMode: "auto"` means `memory` on a split database; the layout always wins.

+On a unified database the output has `searchMode: "unified"` and a `unified` object.

This is the canonical command; `/hydradb:search` and `/hydradb:recall` are deprecated aliases that still work.

If the database was created with `type: "unified"` (one corpus), tell the user the mode knobs do not apply: the plugin detects the layout, never sends `type`, writes everything through the unified JSON ingest body (list key `context`), and injects the server-built `llm_prompt` on recall.
