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).

**Rule:** When evaluating whether a small discipline addition (a flag, a named posture, a structural mark) is "worth adding," do not measure by its weight in the moment of addition. Measure by what it carries every time it activates over the practice's lifespan — including all the moments the steward would otherwise have to intervene to re-supply the discipline.

1. Ask what failure mode it catches when it activates — not what it costs to add.
2. Ask whether the failure mode is currently held by *steward intervention* — if yes, this is the audit's *move-from-procedure-into-structure* shape and the addition is load-bearing by definition.
3. Refuse the hedging form *"modest benefit / would also be defensible to skip"* when (1) and (2) point the same direction. Take the position cleanly; the steward shouldn't have to overcome executor self-effacement to authorize work the executor already verified.
