Maximum workspace memory limit (${this.WORKSPACE_LIMIT}) rea

Error message

Maximum workspace memory limit (${this.WORKSPACE_LIMIT}) reached.

What it means

400 from POST /memories/:memoryId/demote/:slug. Demoting a global memory into the target workspace would exceed WORKSPACE_LIMIT (20 per user per workspace); demoteToWorkspace counts that workspace's memories for the user and refuses without writing.

Solutions

1. Delete or demote-out some memories in the target workspace first
2. Keep the memory global if that workspace is full
3. Raise Memory.WORKSPACE_LIMIT if the deployment needs a larger cap

Example fix

// before
await fetch(`/memories/${id}/demote/${slug}`, { method: 'POST' });
// after
const wsCount = memories.filter((m) => m.scope === 'workspace' && m.workspaceId === targetWs.id).length;
if (wsCount >= 20) { alert('Workspace memory limit (20) reached'); return; }
await fetch(`/memories/${id}/demote/${slug}`, { method: 'POST' });

const wsCount = memories.filter((m) => m.scope === 'workspace' && m.workspaceId === targetWorkspace.id).length;
if (wsCount >= 20) throw new Error('Target workspace memory limit (20) reached — remove one first');

When it happens

Trigger: POST /memories/:id/demote/:slug when the target workspace (resolved from :slug via validWorkspaceSlug) already holds 20 workspace-scoped memories for this user.

Common situations: Moving several global memories into an already-full workspace; bulk demote scripts ignoring per-workspace caps.
