Comparison rationale

The accepted records support a concrete automatic trace-fed summary route, alongside imported instructions, human-selected reusable scripts and executable access metadata. These are different memory products. MEM-OBJ-compaction, MEM-RTE-branch-summary and MEM-BAP-summary-context supply the raw-to-derived-to-later-model chain. Summary compression need not create new knowledge or preserve every reason to qualify as trace learning. This architectural finding does not establish exercised learning or improved performance.

Every axis remains partial. The inventory includes opaque alternatives rather than silently restricting the scope to the strongest default witness. In particular, MEM-OBJ-journal distinguishes arbitrary returned payloads from their inspected index/hash envelope; MEM-OBJ-agent-history distinguishes readable diagnostics from replay input. Neither a display summary nor JSON serialization classifies an opaque payload's form, authority or learning route. Extension-provided checkpoint alternatives remain separate from the inspected default summarizers.

RT-RTE-graph-admission separates requested drafting/approval from executable structural admission. Consequently authored guidance and human graph approval retain claimed bases, while RT-RTE-library-update supports wired source-snapshot import and metadata maintenance. MEM-RTE-saved-workflow supports manual content selection for command/UI saving but not a manual classification for every generic API caller. Imported lineage describes a local transfer into a retained store; it does not authenticate the original author.

The paper-specific contribution is not lost inside memory's locally uninspected paper inventory. EPI-RTE-paper-decision adds feedback-directed guidance refinement at the doctrine layer; EPI-RTE-paper-checks and EPI-RTE-final-report add implemented evidence and reporting consumers. This supports local validation authority and requested learning/evolution without turning the generic importer into a scientific acceptance gate. Original evidence provenance and automatic admission of a particular refined graph remain unresolved.

Curation names transformations rather than commands. Incremental checkpoints consolidate experience and evolve prior checkpoints. Managed updates evolve operative content and remove withdrawn entries from future discovery; that removal is local decay, not a claim that earlier prompt copies or all backups disappear. MEM-OBJ-library-state supports access control and conflict criteria, not scientific warrant. Retained traces at the summarizer have learning authority; summary text at the next model supplies knowledge/context. The two consumers are not collapsed into one authority claim.

Read-back is split into request and independent selection operations. A model-selected file read remains pull even when matching uses judgment. Automatically supplied registry entries use coarse eligibility; session reconstruction uses actual branch/entry identities and coarse window selection; MEM-RTE-journal-replay uses index/hash identity for cache substitution. A requested filename alone does not establish identifier push. The known pull operations do not make unresolved push alternatives inapplicable.

Reconciliation establishes no duplicate supersessions. All citations therefore retain their declaring canonical record. Containers remain valid alongside separately declared summary, graph-policy and graph-assertion parts; their shared consumers do not erase differences in origin or force. Missing individual graph provenance, specialized importer/exporter and task-oriented coverage, extension write semantics and deployed consumption prevent stronger inventory assessments. No absence finding is manufactured from those gaps.

Source-read log: none. This classification used only the supplied accepted members and governing contracts; no frozen-source ambiguity required an additional source read. The profile adds neither records nor source evidence.
