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).

**Context:** April 19 baseline (`~/_Dev/CapableMind-AI/docs/thinking/David/l1-reliability/l1-recall-quality-baseline-2026-04-19.md`) identified 4 H-issues + an architectural finding (honest-degradation invariant violated at design level). Recent BetterMemories.io commits show team widened toward circles/BBF/perf — none of the 4 H-issues directly addressed. Today's mempalace mass-dilution finding (2026-05-13) gave empirical confirmation that this class of failure is real and won't resolve itself. Steward proposed steward+Claude-Code attempt fix on a branch + PR, sparing Seb the design load (Peter likely pressing him on other priorities).

- After H2 lands or rejects, the same template applies to H1 (entity confidence clobber), H3 (temporal fallthrough), H4 (working memory injection at 0.9). Each its own PENDING, its own PR.
## Connection to today's mempalace finding
The mempalace mass-dilution discovery (2026-05-13) is the empirical case for why this work matters now. Mempalace and L1 are architecturally different (single-modal vs multi-modal-with-RRF), but the *class* of failure — "module reports healthy while recall is silently broken" — is what April 19 named. Today's experiment turned theory into evidence. Carry that evidence into the PENDING-N proposal as motivation.
