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

Browse Source 
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 (2026-05-13):** Steward asked me to clarify L1-design implications of today's mempalace mass-dilution experiment. **Important distinction**: mempalace is the steward's private chamber tool (a "crutch" while L1 matures); Seb and David are building CapableMind L1 (in `~/_Dev/BetterMemories.io` and `~/_Dev/CapableMind-AI`). The two systems are fundamentally different in architecture. This memo addresses what L1's design needs to avoid the specific class of failure mempalace exhibited today.
## What today's mempalace finding showed (the empirical data)

The most important single test: **stress L1 against a heterogeneous corpus with uneven mass distribution, then run cross-tradition queries.** If Saenger doesn't surface for "silent reading" on L1, the architecture isn't paying off yet. If he does, the multi-modal advantage is real.
(Steward note: Seb and David are building L1; mempalace is steward's private tool for personal ARC work while L1 matures. Today's mempalace work informs L1's design, but Seb has nothing to do with mempalace — keep that distinction in mind in future sessions.)
