Problem
Codex users can hit MCP tool failures with message: Transport closed when using Engram memory tools.
Context
This tends to happen after operational/session-boundary changes such as:
- replacing engram.exe
- editing Codex MCP config or instruction files
- force-stopping engram processes
Expected Behavior
Operators should have clear troubleshooting and prevention guidance in docs.
Proposed Solution
Document:
- Recovery sequence for stale MCP stdio sessions
- Preventive restart policy after binary/config updates
Scope
Documentation only.
Validation
Observed in real Windows workflow and resolved via session restart/new chat.
