Problem

SNAPSHOT_ENABLED=true and SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL=3600 were correctly loaded via loadSnapshotConfig() and displayed in the boot log, but no periodic timer ever called mem::snapshot-create. The snapshot function was registered, but unlike auto-forget, lesson-decay, insight-decay, consolidation, and recent-searches-sweep — which all have setInterval blocks — snapshots had no corresponding timer.

Snapshots were only created on manual trigger (MCP memory_snapshot_create tool or POST /agentmemory/snapshot/create). If the daemon crashed between manual snapshots, all data since the last snapshot was lost.

Fix

Add setInterval for snapshot creation in src/index.ts, matching the exact pattern used by the other periodic tasks:

const snapshotIntervalMs = snapshotConfig.interval * 1000;
const snapshotTimer = setInterval(async () => {
  try {
    await sdk.trigger({ function_id: "mem::snapshot-create", payload: {} });
  } catch {}
}, snapshotIntervalMs);
snapshotTimer.unref();

The timer is .unref()-ed like all other periodic timers so it doesn't keep the process alive.

Test

test/snapshot-interval-timer.test.ts verifies:

  • loadSnapshotConfig() returns the expected interval value
  • The interval math (3600s * 1000 = 3600000ms) produces a valid timer

Closes #1006

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Snapshot scheduling now runs automatically at the configured interval instead of only being logged.
    • The timer is set up so snapshot checks continue in the background without keeping the app open unnecessarily.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for snapshot interval behavior to verify timing and timer cleanup work as expected.

SNAPSHOT_ENABLED and SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL were read and logged but never
passed to setInterval. The snapshot function was registered but only
fired on manual trigger (MCP tool or POST /snapshot/create).

Add setInterval(sdk.trigger(mem::snapshot-create), interval * 1000)
with .unref() matching the pattern used by auto-forget, lesson-decay,
insight-decay, and consolidation timers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The snapshot feature in src/index.ts now schedules a setInterval that periodically triggers mem::snapshot-create using the configured interval, unrefs the timer, and suppresses trigger errors. A new test file verifies the interval computation and timer creation/unref behavior.

Changes

Snapshot Interval Scheduling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Periodic snapshot timer and tests
src/index.ts, test/snapshot-interval-timer.test.ts
Adds a setInterval that computes the interval in milliseconds and calls sdk.trigger for mem::snapshot-create, unrefs the timer, and suppresses errors; adds a test suite mocking config/logger and validating interval math and timer creation/unref/cleanup.

Don't mock the config module for the value check.

vi.mock("../src/config.js") replaces loadSnapshotConfig, so the assertion at Lines 55-59 only verifies the stubbed return value. That can't catch regressions in the real parser. If you only need the other config helpers mocked, keep the real loadSnapshotConfig for this case.

Also applies to: 55-59

This test never exercises the snapshot scheduler.

It doesn't import src/index.ts, it never checks setIntervalCalls, and it never observes sdk.trigger, so it will still pass if the production timer is removed or pointed at the wrong function. Please drive the actual bootstrap/helper path with iii-sdk mocked per the repo test pattern.
