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).

name: Composition — avoid announced antithesis when it labels rather than shows
description: 2026-04-29. Steward flagged "That is not failure but fidelity" on the Hearth landing as too elegant in the wrong way — the not-X-but-Y antithesis announces itself, and abstract-noun-as-virtue ("fidelity") labels growth instead of letting it be the form. Replaced with image-led continuative. Cousin to over-decorating-as-proving in writing-craft register.

In ARC's reverentially-explicative-but-measured register, defenses read as flinches. Replace with quieter relations — verbs over nouns, continuatives over antitheses — that let recognition land without announcement.
**Why this matters:** sibling to `feedback-over-decorating-as-proving.md` (2026-04-27 ARC naming session — *"my deep fear of foolishness always wants to try too hard and prove too much"*). Same root: fear-driven over-reach, the cramped will of the maker. Different register: writing-craft, not structural-elaboration. Detection cue: when proposing a line, check whether it adds a layer to *prove* the meaning, or whether the meaning is already in the prose and the line just labels it. If labeling, drop or replace.
