arXiv:2608.02843v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Persistent agent memory must adapt as later outcomes change earlier evidence, yet mutable retrieval weights create an attribution problem: reviewers must distinguish authorized adaptation from database tampering. We present MutMem, an authorized-mutation protocol in HOM-AIMOS, a persistent agent-memory engine. MutMem retains memory content, records signed positive and negative outcome evidence without age-based expiry, and commits each nontrivial weight change as a housekeeper-authorized transition. Each transition binds a terminal provenance node, signer epoch, quantized old and new weights, a no-fork predecessor, and two domain-separated SHA-256 commitments. Ed25519 verification runs in both the database writer and a portable verifier. Content classified as poison-likely is retained with signed, revisable labels used by recall as trust evidence. We evaluate utility, mutation integrity, and poisoning adaptation. HOM-AIMOS answers 459/500 LongMemEval questions correctly under LLM judgment (91.8%). On LoCoMo, it obtains 74.12% judged accuracy and, under a separate upstream-compatible protocol, 58.20 token F1. A native suite passes all declared authorization, topology, tamper, signer-epoch, and post-mutation-recall cases; median signed-transition latency is 4.865 ms. In a declared N=100 PoisonedRAG adaptation, no injected poison appears in attacked top-5 disclosures (0/100; 95% Wilson upper bound 3.70%), while induced target-answer attack success among 98 clean-negative targets is 1/98 (1.02%).
