+# Memory Update — perf-agent — 2026-02-20
+
+## Key findings
+- Initial scan found 22 performance-relevant patterns (async/timers).
+- Identified potential unbounded concurrency in `src/services/memory` (formatter, retriever, pruner).
+
+## Patterns / reusable knowledge
+- `Promise.all(array.map(...))` is the most common pattern needing scrutiny.
+- `scripts/perf-search.mjs` is effective for baseline scanning.
+
+## Warnings / gotchas
+- Memory service arrays might grow large, posing a risk without concurrency limits.

+# Daily Performance Report - 2026-02-20
+
+## Summary
+Initial baseline scan completed. Identified 22 instances of async/background patterns. No critical (P0) login-blocking issues found, but several potential unbounded concurrency issues identified in the memory service.
+
+## Findings
+
+### P1: Potential Unbounded Concurrency in Memory Service
+Several locations use `Promise.all(array.map(...))` without concurrency limits. If the arrays (memories, actions) grow large, this could spike CPU/Network usage.
+
+- **File**: `src/services/memory/formatter.js:181`
+  - `await Promise.all((memories ?? []).map((memory) => memoryService.updateMemoryUsage...))`
+- **File**: `src/services/memory/retriever.js:256`
+  - `await Promise.all(ids.map((id) => repository.updateMemoryUsage...))`
+- **File**: `src/services/memory/pruner.js:276`
+  - `await Promise.all(plan.actions.map(async (decision) => ...))`
+
+**Recommendation**: Replace with a concurrency-limited runner (e.g., `p-limit` or a utility function) if these arrays are expected to exceed ~50 items.
+
+### Other Hits
+- Standard `setTimeout`/`Promise.race` usage in lock/relay logic (expected).
+- `setInterval` in `src/services/memory/scheduler.js` (expected).
+
+## Metrics
+- **Total Hits**: 22
+- **P0 Issues**: 0
+- **P1 Issues**: 3 (Potential)
+
+## Actions Taken
+- Established baseline `hits-2026-02-20.json`.
+- Documented findings.
+
+## Next Steps
+- Investigate array sizes in memory service to determine if concurrency limits are strictly necessary.
+- Continue monitoring for new patterns.

+## Goal
+Establish a performance baseline and identify P0/P1 issues using search patterns.
+
+## Scope
+- Scan codebase for performance-critical patterns (intervals, workers, etc.).
+- Generate hits report.
+- Audit /content documentation if needed (deferred to analysis).
+
+## Constraints
+- Minimal changes for baseline establishment.
+- Must run search script.
+
+## Assumptions
+- This is the first run (or treated as such for baseline).
