Five Copilot review issues + the Python 3.9 CI failure rolled into one follow-up: * Replace ``dict | None`` annotated assignment with a type-comment so module load doesn't evaluate PEP 604 syntax on Python 3.9 (CI red). * Drop ``mempalace repair rebuild`` — the CLI only ships ``mempalace repair`` (rebuild) and ``mempalace repair-status``. Updated all user-facing messages, docstrings, and test assertions. * Replace ``_get_client()`` in ``tool_search`` with the safe ``_refresh_vector_disabled_flag`` probe so the fallback isn't defeated by the very chromadb client load it's trying to avoid. * Short-circuit ``tool_status`` to a pure-sqlite reader (``_tool_status_via_sqlite``) when divergence is detected so wing / room counts come back without ever opening the persistent client. * Wrap the recency-window query in ``_bm25_only_via_sqlite`` with an ``id``-ordered fallback so legacy schemas missing ``created_at`` don't break BM25 search. New test covers the sqlite-status short-circuit. 1409 tests pass.
