nodecode-trove
Trove: lossless recall over every session's log - search, read and cite every message. A Nodecode rewrite of misterdas/hermes-trove by misterdas.
Nodecode keeps every input, answer, tool call and result in a durable event
log, and eviction only moves a visibility floor: the window forgets, the log
does not. Trove is the door onto that log. Each row it answers cites
[session seq], and the seq is a log position, so a row read now names the
same entry after the window has moved on.
Get it
Tell the agent "add the trove cell", or run nodecode add nc://trove.
Use it
Nothing has to be set up: the cell reads the log the image already writes.
| Ask for | What happens |
|---|---|
| "where did we deploy the cells?" | trove_search greps every session at once, newest first, each row cited. |
| "read that session" | trove_read walks one session in order, oldest first, and pages older with before=. |
| "read the entry at 812" | trove_entry returns that entry's body whole. |
| "which sessions are there?" | trove_sessions lists id, message count, last activity, title and folder. |
| "put what we know about X together" | trove_evidence compiles the matching rows into one cited digest under a character budget. |
| "what does trove see?" | trove_status says how many sessions and events the log holds, and where it is. |
From the operator's side, /trove typed alone opens a panel (a search row and
one row per session), /trove QUERY searches, /trove read SESSION reads
one, and /trove status answers the status line.
The section trove in ~/.nodecode/config.jsonc bounds how much one answer
shows; every member has a default:
{ "trove": { "limit": 20, "clip": 200, "budget": 4000, "sessions": 12 } }
A row's body is clipped to clip characters and a search answers at most
limit rows, because an answer prints back into the very window it was
recalled from; trove_entry is the read that returns a body whole.

The six tools, /trove, the section and the manual topic. |

The slice just trove-test runs: lifecycle, every tool over a private log, the panel. |
