feat: hierarchical memory structure (YYYY/MM/) with automatic migration

Implement hierarchical memory structure to improve filesystem performance
when dealing with large numbers of memory files.

## Changes

### Core Implementation (src/memory/internal.ts)
- Add isOldMemoryFormat() - detect old flat format files
- Add migrateMemoryFile() - migrate to YYYY/MM/ structure with:
  * Date validation (rejects invalid dates like 2025-99-99)
  * Atomic file creation (wx flag) to prevent race conditions
  * Optional logger parameter for production use
- Add migrateAllMemoryFiles() - bulk migration with:
  * Full recursive scan via findOldFormatFiles()
  * Dry-run mode for preview
  * Detailed metrics (totalBytes, durationMs, file lists)
- Update walkDir() - auto-migrate on file access
- Update listMemoryFiles() - add logger parameter

### Tests (src/memory/internal.test.ts)
- 20 comprehensive unit tests
- Test old-format detection, date validation, race conditions
- Test dry-run mode and detailed metrics
- 100% coverage of key functionality

### Documentation
- docs/concepts/memory-migration.md (NEW) - migration guide
- docs/concepts/memory.md - backward compatibility section
- docs/help/faq.md - migration FAQ entries

## Backward Compatibility
- Automatic migration on file access
- Old files preserved as backup
- Zero breaking changes
- Both formats supported

# Memory Migration Guide
## Overview
Moltbot now uses a **hierarchical memory structure** for better scalability:
**Before (flat):**
```
memory/2025-01-27.md
memory/2025-01-26-conversation.md
...365+ files in one directory per year
```
**After (hierarchical):**
```
memory/2025/01/2025-01-27.md
memory/2025/01/2025-01-26-conversation.md
...max 31 files per directory
```
## Why This Change?
The flat structure worked well for small memory sets, but caused issues over time:
- **Filesystem performance**: 1000+ files in one directory slows down filesystem operations
- **Navigation difficulty**: Hard to find files manually
- **No natural segmentation**: Cannot easily archive by month/year
The hierarchical structure solves all these issues.
---
## Backward Compatibility
**Good news:** Moltbot automatically migrates old-format files.
### How It Works
When Moltbot encounters an old-format file (`memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`):
1. **Detects** the old format
2. **Creates** the new directory structure (`memory/YYYY/MM/`)
3. **Copies** the file to the new location
4. **Logs** the migration
5. **Uses** the new file going forward
The old file is kept as a backup (not deleted automatically).
### What You Need to Do
**Nothing.** Migration is automatic and transparent.
When you:
- Search memory → old files are migrated automatically
- Read memory → migrated files are used
- Write memory → new format is used
---
## Migration Examples
### Example 1: Automatic Migration
You have a file at `memory/2025-01-27.md`.
When Moltbot reads memory:
```
[memory] Migrated old-format memory file: 2025-01-27.md -> memory/2025/01/2025-01-27.md
```
File is now at: `memory/2025/01/2025-01-27.md`
### Example 2: Slug Files
You have `memory/2025-01-27-discussion.md`.
Migration creates:
```
memory/2025/01/2025-01-27-discussion.md
```
### Example 3: Existing New-Format Files
If `memory/2025/01/2025-01-27.md` already exists:
- Migration skips the old file
- New file is kept (no overwrite)
- Warning logged
---
## Rolling Back
If you need to revert to the old format:
1. **Stop** Moltbot
2. **Delete** the `memory/YYYY/` directories
3. **Restore** from backup (if you kept one)
4. **Restart** Moltbot
**Note:** Old-format files are not deleted during migration, so you may have both formats present temporarily.
---
## Troubleshooting
### Migration Fails
If migration fails for a file:
- Check file permissions
- Ensure workspace directory is writable
- Check logs for specific error messages
### Files Not Found After Migration
If memory files seem missing:
- Check new location: `memory/YYYY/MM/`
- Old files still exist in `memory/` (backup)
- Memory search works across both formats
### Performance Issues After Migration
If you still see performance issues:
- Run `moltbot memory status` to check index
- Rebuild index: `moltbot memory index --force`
- Check disk space
---
## Timeline
| Version | Status |
|---------|--------|
| **Current** | Both formats supported, automatic migration |
| **Future +1** | Warning: old format deprecated |
| **Future +2** | Error: old format not supported |
| **Future +3** | Old format removed |
**Recommendation:** No immediate action needed. Migration is automatic.
---
## FAQ
**Q: Will my old memory files be deleted?**
A: No. Old files are kept as backup.
**Q: Do I need to update my scripts?**
A: No. Moltbot handles both formats transparently.
**Q: What if I have both formats?**
A: New format takes precedence. Old format is ignored if new exists.
**Q: Can I keep using the old format?**
A: Yes, for now. Old format will be deprecated in future versions.
**Q: How do I know if migration happened?**
A: Check logs for `[memory] Migrated old-format memory file` messages.

## Backward Compatibility & Migration
Moltbot supports **automatic migration** from the old memory format to the new hierarchical structure.
### Old Format vs New Format
**Old (flat):**
```
memory/2025-01-27.md
memory/2025-01-26-conversation.md
```
**New (hierarchical):**
```
memory/2025/01/2025-01-27.md
memory/2025/01/2025-01-26-conversation.md
```
### Automatic Migration
When Moltbot encounters old-format files:
1. Detects the old format
2. Creates `memory/YYYY/MM/` directories
3. Copies files to new location
4. Uses new format going forward
**Old files are not deleted** — they're kept as backup.
### What You Need to Do
**Nothing.** Migration is transparent and automatic.
Memory search, read, and write operations work seamlessly across both formats.
### Deprecation Timeline
| Version | Old Format Support |
|---------|-------------------|
| **Current** | ✅ Fully supported, automatic migration |
| **Future +1** | ⚠️ Deprecated warning |
| **Future +2** | ❌ Not supported (error) |
| **Future +3** | 🗑️ Removed from codebase |
**See:** [Memory Migration Guide](/concepts/memory-migration) for detailed migration instructions.

### How do I migrate my old memory files to the new format
Moltbot **automatically migrates** old-format memory files.
If you have files in the old format (`memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`), Moltbot will:
1. Detect them automatically
2. Create new directories (`memory/YYYY/MM/`)
3. Copy files to the new location
4. Use the new format going forward
**Old files are not deleted** — they're kept as backup.
**Docs:** [Memory Migration Guide](/concepts/memory-migration)
### Will my old memory files still work after upgrading
**Yes.** Moltbot supports both old and new memory formats with automatic migration.
- Memory search works across both formats
- Old files are automatically migrated when accessed
- No manual action required
**Timeline:**
- Current version: Both formats supported
- Future +1: Old format deprecated (warning)
- Future +2: Old format not supported (error)
- Future +3: Old format removed
**See:** [Memory Migration Guide](/concepts/memory-migration) for details.
