index_status returns project-not-found for project returned by list_projects

[edecarvalhoreis]

Summary

codebase-memory-mcp cli index_status can return project not found or not indexed for a project name that is returned by list_projects in the same environment.

Version

• codebase-memory-mcp 0.6.1

Reproduction

1. codebase-memory-mcp cli list_projects
2. Pick the returned project name, for example sample-project.
3. codebase-memory-mcp cli index_status '{"project":"sample-project"}'

Actual

index_status fails with:

{"error":"project not found or not indexed","hint":"Use list_projects to see all indexed projects, then pass the project name.","available_projects":["sample-project"],"count":1}

Expected

index_status should accept the same project id/name returned by list_projects and return status metadata.

Additional signal

index_repository may fail with pipeline.err phase=dump and a generic pipeline hint, which makes diagnosis difficult.

Impact

Breaks automation paths that depend on index_status for health/selector checks.

Suggested fix direction

• Align selector parsing for index_status with list_projects output.
• Surface concrete dump-phase failure reason (DB path/permission/state) instead of a generic hint.
