…odeaholicguy#302) npx and global installs run the ai-devkit-memory bin symlink, so process.argv[1] is the link path while import.meta.url is the resolved file. The strict comparison never matched and the process exited without starting the server. Compare real paths via isMainModule(), returning false when argv[1] is missing or cannot be resolved.

Summary
isMainModule(argv1, moduleUrl)inpackages/memory/src/entrypoint.ts, which compares the real paths ofprocess.argv[1]and the module file.src/index.tsinstead of the strictprocess.argv[1] === fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)check.npx @ai-devkit/memoryand global installs launch theai-devkit-memorybin symlink, so the old check never matched and the server exited silently. Importing the package as a library still does not start the server.Closes #302
Validation
tests/unit/entrypoint.test.tscovers: the module file itself, a bin symlink to it (fails on the old check), a different file, undefinedargv[1], and a missing path (no throw).memorypackage: tests (167), typecheck, lint and fmt:check pass; the Husky pre-commit hook (fullnx run-many -t test) passed.dist/index.jsstarted through a symlink now answers an MCPinitializerequest;import()of the built entry does not start the server.Follow-up
packages/memory-dashboard/src/standalone.ts:101uses the same pattern (import.meta.url === \file://${process.argv[1]}``), which fails through a bin symlink and for paths that need URL encoding (e.g. spaces). Left out to keep this PR scoped.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
