Why

Re-adding a project after deleting its database record with retained note files created a fresh project identity but never indexed the retained content. The same MCP session could also retain the deleted project identity in its context cache.

Closes #1084

What changed

  • Request project indexing immediately after a successful project creation.

  • Run local indexing synchronously so retained notes are available when creation returns.

  • Use the durable Cloud background indexing handoff and expose accepted state, backend status, message, job ID, and counts.

  • Clear active/default project identity and workspace project-index caches after both project creation and deletion.

  • Add a local end-to-end regression for delete with retained notes, recreate, read, and search.

  • Add unit coverage for local versus Cloud indexing mode and malformed create responses.

  • Verification

  • uv run pytest -q --cov-report=term-missing:skip-covered tests/mcp/test_tool_project_management.py tests/mcp/test_tool_json_output_modes.py test-int/mcp/test_project_management_integration.py test-int/mcp/test_output_format_json_integration.py test-int/mcp/test_recreate_project_indexing_integration.py (81 passed)

  • just fast-check

  • just doctor

  • basic-memory-cloud CloudProjectIndexCommand scheduler tests (3 passed)

Cloud rollout

No Cloud source change is required: the existing Cloud project-index command already requires background mode and waits for the PGQueuer handoff before returning. After this core PR merges, basic-memory-cloud will need its pinned Basic Memory revision bumped to deploy the fix.
