fix(cli): make fresh installs portable and persistent - #892
Conversation
…paths The bundled iii-config.yaml uses cwd-relative paths and the engine was spawned without a cwd, so on global and npx installs ./data/state_store.db and ./data/stream_store landed in whatever directory the user ran the CLI from, and the iii-exec supervision block (src/**/*.ts watch, node dist/index.mjs exec) never resolved, meaning the engine never supervised a worker and nothing respawned it after the in-process worker died. That surfaced as all data gone reports against a live REST port. startIiiBin now prepares the launch: when the resolved config is the bundled one it writes ~/.agentmemory/iii-config.runtime.yaml (regenerated each boot) with absolute data paths under ~/.agentmemory/data and an absolute node exec line for the installed worker entry, copies any legacy ./data stores from the invocation directory on first run, and spawns the engine with cwd anchored at ~/.agentmemory. Repo checkouts keep the cwd config and repo-root cwd, so dev behavior is unchanged. User overrides via env or ~/.agentmemory/iii-config.yaml are passed through verbatim. agentmemory remove gains a plan item for the generated runtime config. Covered by test/engine-launch.test.ts including a drift guard that rewrites the repo's real iii-config.yaml and asserts no relative paths remain.

Use III_VIEWER_PORT for the bind port.
AGENTMEMORY_VIEWER_URL is documented in .env.example, Line 143, as the URL printed by status. The supplied src/config.ts resolves the listener from III_VIEWER_PORT. Setting AGENTMEMORY_VIEWER_URL does not suppress N+2 port derivation. Update this troubleshooting entry to separate the bind-port variable from the advertised or remote viewer URL.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Assert presence before order, and handle a missing end marker.
indexOf returns -1 for a missing substring, and -1 is less than any valid index. If inspectOwnedDockerEngine(state) or readWorkerPidfile() disappears from stopDockerEngine, both ordering assertions still pass. The guard then no longer detects the regression it targets. Also, if async function runStop is not found after start, end is -1 and source.slice(start, -1) drops the last character instead of taking the remainder.
