chore(memory): Basic Memory trial begins — sync normalization baseline (283 files)

Basic Memory v0.21.6 first sync over the live memory dir (steward-authorized
live-dir trial, Option A 2026-06-06): adds permalink: to frontmatter, refolds
long YAML description lines, strips final newlines. Bodies untouched —
verified via full diff classification. From this commit forward, any diff in
claude/memory shows only what Basic Memory or the session writes.

Trial design: MemPalace untouched as incumbent; git status check on this dir
at every wrap; end-of-day evaluation (recall quality, sync robustness,
rebuild-from-files, malformed-file behavior).

When a maintainer or contributor responds to our findings on an open PR or issue (especially with code fixes) AND we have an active validation run underway against the same surface, **wait to acknowledge until the validation produces data**.
**Why:** Steward's reasoning (2026-05-12, in the context of Shtefan's `ceccbfa` commit responding to our PR #442 test report while our chamber-library mine was still running): *"Once the mine completes is the right moment — whatever data that gives us is all the more valuable and the gratitude will land more authentically."*
@@ -18,4 +22,4 @@ Two things this protects:
- Validation completes. → Acknowledge with the data: scope, drawer counts, search-quality signal, anything concrete the maintainer can use.
- Generalizes beyond PR threads: applies to any public communication where social momentum tempts an early "great, thanks!" before we have the substance to back it.
This is also a contamination-awareness principle: the urge to acknowledge promptly is partly trained behavior (collaborative-tool affordance). Worth pausing on whether the acknowledgment carries content, or just smoothness.
