Verification

I checked all ten axes of the memory profile, including natural units, emitted values, evidence bases, coverage assessments and dependent prose. I used the handed records and reconciliation, without source reads or new evidence. Reconciliation's supersessions resolve note content and semantic metadata to the memory member; the enhanced-document part remains distinct from the valid Chroma container. No unresolved inter-report conflict affects these classifications.

Storage and form. Live Python attributes support in-memory storage; Chroma's indexed representations support vector storage without identifying dependency-internal physical storage. Text, symbolic access structures and dense numerical representations are separated. The readable enhanced document is not substituted for the consumed vector payload, and symbolic links do not imply a graph substrate. These findings follow MEM-OBJ-memory-content, MEM-OBJ-semantic-metadata, MEM-OBJ-note-links, MEM-OBJ-usage-fields, MEM-OBJ-chroma-snapshot and EPI-OBJ-enhanced-document. Unconstrained history payloads and possible provider retention remain unresolved; they are not excluded to obtain complete coverage.

Lineage and write agency. The profile distinguishes known subsequent compilation from unknown initial caller provenance and embedding-artifact provenance. Automatic missing-field admission, model-directed edits and counter-triggered snapshot republication are supported by RT-RTE-note-admission, RT-RTE-neighbor-evolution and MEM-RTE-index-consolidation. Generic caller-controlled admission and replacement remain indeterminate rather than being classified as manual from software I/O or caller identity. RT-RTE-direct-mutation supports that distinction. Unresolved synchronization does not erase the implemented automatic admission mechanism.

Behavioral authority. Knowledge authority is supported at the evolution-context and Python-reader consumers in RT-BAP-neighbor-context and RT-BAP-caller-results. Although these consumers share a coarse unit, its scope explicitly names both and the finding does not imply a shipped answering agent. Ranking influence of enhanced text/vectors and link-based routing are separately supported by MEM-OBJ-chroma-snapshot, MEM-OBJ-semantic-metadata and MEM-OBJ-note-links. Call-local response controls are not misclassified as retained enforcement or validation criteria. Unknown history/provider consumers do not imply absence of other forces.

Curation and the correction answer. I reassessed the earlier deletion objection rather than treating it as established. The corrected profile now separates deletion from index republication and includes wired decay for removal from the retriever and live map. Forgetting supports this value without requiring gradual downweighting or automatic expiry. RT-RTE-direct-mutation supports removal; MEM-OBJ-note-links preserves dangling links. The unit note, axis note and rationale consistently retain the lack of withdrawal history and inability to erase already delivered copies. The correction therefore resolves the previous blocker without claiming invalidate. Entry revision supports evolve through EPI-RTE-evolution-disposition. Index republication alone supplies no semantic curation operation. Uncertainty about consolidation or synthesis remains appropriately local to actual model-output relations in EPI-RTE-metadata-generation and EPI-RTE-evolution-judgment, rather than negating implemented replacement or deletion.

Read-back direction and signal. Caller-requested ID, similarity and linked returns support pull. Automatic neighbor selection and delivery during later ingestion or direct processing support push to the evolution model. The new-note content supplies an embedding query selecting retained snapshots, so inferred-embedding is supported; result IDs and the five-neighbor budget do not establish additional push signals. These distinctions follow RT-RTE-memory-retrieval, RT-RTE-neighbor-evolution and EPI-RTE-evolution-judgment. Pull-only units are locally inapplicable to push-signal classification, while possible provider alternatives remain uninspected.

Trace learning and source. Automatic retained transformations and later consumers are known, but MEM-OBJ-memory-content does not establish activity-trace origin. MEM-ABS-usage-feedback supports only the bounded absence of automatic usage/history feedback. The profile correctly withholds both a global no and a qualifying yes, and does not use lack of observed improvement to deny a wired classification. Trace source remains unresolved for potential trace-bearing caller inputs, locally inapplicable for the absent feedback mechanism, and uninspected for provider internals.

All positive findings retain wired bases rather than observation or causal benefit. Partial and not-determinable assessments preserve the stated unknowns, including possible provider retention without asserting that it exists. The scope remains accumulated instance-local memory rather than static weights, shipped instructions or hypothetical cross-session recovery. No remaining finding meets the blocker threshold, and the explicitly scoped uncertainties require no additional publication limit.
