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 component ranks or selects by an *evaluative* field (importance, weight, relevance, confidence, salience), verify that some ingestion path actually **writes** that field end-to-end — not just that the consumer **reads** it.

- For any ranking/selection feature, **trace the scoring field write→read**. If no path writes it, the ranking is fiction — make it raise, log a degradation, or fall back to a signal you have.
- **Prefer signals you already capture** (recency/`filed_at`, frequency, structural position) over signals that need a deferred scoring pass (LLM-assigned importance). Either build the scoring path *deliberately and end-to-end*, or rank on cheap structural data — never read a field you don't write.
- **Record structural/provenance metadata always; record evaluative metadata only when a path genuinely assigns it.** Honest degradation: a system must report its own limits, including "I cannot rank by importance because nothing scored these."
