A stdio MCP server that completes the initialize + tools/list handshake and then exits cleanly will fire `transport.onClose` on every clean exit, and the old `MCPManager.reconnectServer` path spawned again unconditionally. A misconfigured PHP-shebang MCP (e.g. Laravel Boost in a non-Laravel project) hit this loop and forked 66 487 `php84` processes parented directly to the agent's `bun` PID until macOS force-rebooted.
Add a per-server sliding-window circuit breaker: at most 5 reconnect attempts per 30 s window. The transport `onClose` callback and the per-tool-call retry in `tool-bridge` are subject to the breaker; `/mcp reconnect` passes `{ manual: true }` to reset the window so users can recover after fixing the underlying misconfiguration. Stale `onClose` is detached when the breaker trips so a late EOF event cannot re-arm the loop.
Defended by `mcp-reconnect-storm.test.ts`: a Bun stdio fixture answers the handshake and exits, then asserts the spawn count stays at ≤ 10 (was 127 without the fix).

Memory backends
The agent supports three mutually-exclusive memory backends, selected via the memory.backend setting (Settings → Memory tab, or ~/.omp/config.yml):
off(default) — no memory subsystem runs.local— existing rollout-summarisation pipeline; writesmemory_summary.mdand consolidated artifacts under the agent dir.hindsight— talks to a Hindsight server (Cloud or self-hosted Docker), retains transcripts every Nth user turn, recalls memories on the first turn of a session, and exposesretain,recall, andreflect.
Hindsight quickstart
- Run a Hindsight server (Cloud or
docker run -p 8888:8888 ghcr.io/vectorize-io/hindsight:latest). - Set
memory.backend = "hindsight"andhindsight.apiUrl = "http://localhost:8888"(or your Cloud URL). - Optional environment overrides (env wins over settings):
HINDSIGHT_API_URL,HINDSIGHT_API_TOKEN— connectionHINDSIGHT_BANK_ID,HINDSIGHT_DYNAMIC_BANK_ID,HINDSIGHT_AGENT_NAME— bank addressingHINDSIGHT_AUTO_RECALL,HINDSIGHT_AUTO_RETAIN,HINDSIGHT_RETAIN_MODE— lifecycleHINDSIGHT_RECALL_BUDGET,HINDSIGHT_RECALL_MAX_TOKENS— recall sizingHINDSIGHT_BANK_MISSION,HINDSIGHT_DEBUG
Switching backends mid-session is honoured on the next system-prompt rebuild and the next /memory slash command. Existing users with memories.enabled = true|false are migrated to memory.backend = "local"|"off" exactly once on first launch.
