Keep Source Connectors Separate from Memory Decisions

Connectors should reliably transport authorized source changes into a stable application format, while a separate memory layer determines how imported information is extracted, retained, and made searchable, allowing each component to be replaced or diagnosed independently. Imported items should use a source envelope containing stable identity, revision, content type, permissions, timestamps, references, and deletion or access-change events, while explicitly acknowledging provider-specific limitations in revision and freshness data. Applications should separately measure delays from source to ingestion and from ingestion to searchability, maintain pipeline status for troubleshooting, and enforce clear response requirements for permission changes rather than assuming external ACLs are fully synchronized. Connector replacements should be evaluated by replaying identical source revisions and comparing content, identity, permissions, updates, deletions, and retrieval quality, with workspace-level permission matrices used before broader expansion. Existing services such as Supermemory may reduce connector development work, but their documented source support, authentication, and synchronization behavior should be verified against application requirements.
