Uncovered Areas

Major untested sections:

• Memory initialization and loading
• Hourly narrative generation

• Memory persistence
• Historical data retrieval
• Memory cleanup and archival

Key Functionality to Test

1. Memory Initialization

• Loading historical narratives
• Initializing storage structures
• Configuration handling
• Migration from old formats

2. Hourly Narratives

• Generating hourly summaries
• Topic aggregation
• Sample selection
• Diversity metrics
• Sliding window updates

3. Daily Narratives

• Generating daily summaries
• Aggregating hourly data
• Long-term pattern identification
• Narrative coherence
• Summary formatting

4. Timeline Lore

• Creating lore entries
• Updating lore context
• Lore retrieval
• Lore filtering
• Lore expiration

5. Storyline Tracking

• Tracking ongoing storylines
• Storyline progression
• Storyline completion
• Cross-referencing events
