"""Memory provider plugin discovery.
Scans four sources for memory provider plugins:
1. Bundled providers: ``plugins/memory/<name>/`` (shipped with hermes-agent)
2. User-installed providers: ``$HERMES_HOME/plugins/<name>/``
3. Project-local providers: ``./.hermes/plugins/<name>/``, opt-in via
``HERMES_ENABLE_PROJECT_PLUGINS``
4. Pip-installed providers: ``hermes_agent.memory_providers`` entry points
Directory providers must contain ``__init__.py`` with a class implementing
the MemoryProvider ABC. Pip packages expose a provider or ``register(ctx)``
callback through the entry-point group.
These are the same four sources the general ``PluginManager`` scans, but the
precedence is deliberately the reverse of its later-source-wins order: here
**bundled wins**, then user, then project, then entry point. A memory provider
is activated by name, so letting a directory dropped into the working tree
shadow a shipped provider would silently redirect the agent's memory. Changing
this order is a breaking change, not a cleanup.
Only ONE provider can be active at a time, selected via
``memory.provider`` in config.yaml.
Usage:
from plugins.memory import discover_memory_providers, load_memory_provider
available = discover_memory_providers() # [(name, desc, available), ...]
provider = load_memory_provider("mnemosyne") # MemoryProvider instance
