Verification
I checked all ten axes of the memory profile against the handed runtime, memory, epistemic and workflow records, resolving superseded log/artifact objects and access routes through the supplied reconciliation. The check covered scope, natural units, controlled findings, evidence bases and inventory assessments. No source files were read and no evidence or replacement records were added.
The profile's inventory concerns accumulated session/research material and its consumers, not every stored runtime component. It separates dynamic orientation facts from static playbook instructions and excludes inference weights without a recorded memory-update route. Native payloads, initial seeds, discovered skills and untraced lifecycle alternatives remain included uncertainties. All ten axes are partial; none asserts complete system enumeration or unsupported absence.
- Storage substrate: SQLite rows, filesystem logs/artifacts/skills/archives and repository branches have concrete persistence witnesses. Native file and database roots support local findings without resolving every provider store. Grouping the named local parts does not classify their opaque contents or extend substrate coverage to untraced alternatives. See MEM-OBJ-chat-messages, MEM-OBJ-bootstrap-context, MEM-OBJ-experiment-tree, MEM-OBJ-run-log, MEM-OBJ-project-artifacts, MEM-OBJ-native-session, RT-OBJ-source-snapshot and RT-RTE-skill-upload.
- Representational form: The units separate prose interpreted by models/humans from IDs, organization metadata and chart fields consumed by fixed rules. Arbitrary tool bodies, binary artifacts and native payloads remain unresolved rather than borrowing a display summary's form. See MEM-OBJ-chat-messages, MEM-OBJ-project-artifacts, MEM-OBJ-native-session, MEM-RTE-turn-context and EPI-RTE-chart-render.
- Lineage: Authored portions, uploaded imported skill content, compiled archives/orientation and trace-extracted fallback prose have distinct derivation witnesses. These do not establish original seed or opaque native provenance. The coarse raw-capture unit emits no negative or complete provenance conclusion. See MEM-OBJ-session-goal, EPI-OBJ-experiment-description, RT-RTE-skill-upload, RT-OBJ-playbook, RT-OBJ-source-snapshot and MEM-RTE-chat-compaction.
- Behavioral authority: Evidence/context at readers supports knowledge; goal/skill directions support instruction; recorded experience at the fallback-summary update consumer supports learning; continuation/source/subscription metadata at code selectors supports routing. The update consumer is distinct from the downstream summary reader, and wired delivery is not claimed compliance or improvement. See MEM-BAP-bootstrap-injection, MEM-RTE-turn-context, MEM-RTE-chat-compaction, MEM-RTE-branch-context and RT-RTE-run-wakeup.
- Write agency: Explicit human message submission is separated from automatic native-event capture, generated-summary admission, supervised log capture and structurally validated skill admission. Workflow initiation is not per-content approval. Generic goal/description/artifact callers and provider admission remain unresolved, not classified from authorship or physical I/O. See RT-RTE-chat-turn, MEM-OBJ-chat-messages, MEM-RTE-chat-compaction, MEM-OBJ-run-log and RT-RTE-skill-upload.
- Curation operations: Fallback reduction supports consolidation; whole-description and same-name skill replacement support evolution; deletion/pruning supports local forgetting. Winner promotion retains its claimed instructional basis instead of borrowing wired strength from branch primitives. Log-preview clipping is not a retained consolidation write; archive visibility is not claim invalidation. See MEM-RTE-chat-compaction, EPI-RTE-description-store, RT-RTE-skill-upload, MEM-RTE-artifact-access and EPI-RTE-winner-promotion.
- Read-back direction and signal: Requested log/file/description/slash returns support pull; ordinary goal/bootstrap/shell/orientation supply and later subscribed wake-up support push. Ancestry/parent-leaf and subscription identity actually select delivered retained parts; availability/readiness gates remain coarse. Requested branch selection and later automatic side-context preparation are separate operations in the chain. Requested file identities alone are not push signals. Native selector/loading uncertainty is preserved. See MEM-RTE-log-retrieval, MEM-RTE-artifact-access, EPI-RTE-description-store, MEM-RTE-turn-context, MEM-RTE-branch-context and RT-RTE-run-wakeup.
- Trace learning and trace source: Fallback compaction and persisted ACP/legacy side bootstrap have recorded activity inputs, automatic retained writes and later continuation consumers. They support wired yes without requiring novelty, parameter changes or demonstrated improvement. Conversational turns and retained tool labels/status support session-log and tool-trace source findings; omitted tool bodies are not claimed as summary inputs. Prior-seed mixtures, demo origins and opaque native transformations remain unresolved. No local or system-wide no is emitted without an absence warrant. See MEM-RTE-chat-compaction, MEM-RTE-branch-context, MEM-OBJ-bootstrap-context, MEM-OBJ-chat-messages and MEM-BAP-bootstrap-injection.
I rechecked the predecessor's ranking objection and the profile author's correction. The archive/parent authority unit now has no finding and is not-determinable. Its note, axis note and rationale no longer assert ranking. The cited MEM-OBJ-experiment-tree and EPI-RTE-tree-organize establish visibility and comparison organization, not a relative-priority mechanism. The correction therefore removes the unsupported extracted value while preserving supported authority findings and partial coverage. The predecessor blocker is discharged.
The reports' caution about demonstrated learning and self-improvement does not contradict the narrower trace-learning classification. Static chart validation likewise does not establish retained-memory validation authority. The remaining opaque alternatives and coarse unresolved units faithfully express uncertainty; they do not invalidate an emitted comparison value or imply absence or complete coverage. No additional material defect was established.
