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).

# MemPalace `_chunk_by_paragraph` oversized-chunk bug
@@ -222,4 +228,4 @@ Decision recommendation for steward (offered, not made):
- **Defer filing + fix locally** if you want immediate working ingestion for ops 2/3/4 without waiting on upstream merge. The `_emit_bounded` helper is ~5 minutes of work in a fresh head.
- **Defer + accept current corpus as-is** if you want to use what's already in palace-memory and not push more ingestion until upstream ships a fix.
Either way: don't retry `mempalace mine ~/.claude/projects/ --mode convos` until this is addressed; it will crash again on the same two files.
