docs(memory): redirect the next wake to a research session, not the chamber thread

Steward instruction at wrap: the next session is a short research session on a
very recent incident touching this work; everything else defers to the following
morning. Without this the wake reads 'pulling thread: ask the corpus real
questions' and opens the wrong work.

Also records the two things bearing on doing it well: the May-2026 cutoff against
an August-2026 'recent' incident (search, don't recall, mark sourced vs
inferred), and a caution against pre-fitting the incident to a thread we already
like — the failure this whole session was a study in.

The steward will name it on arrival. **Everything below — the chamber thread, the resumption point, the open proposals — is explicitly deferred to the following morning.** Do not open the chamber work, do not start the retrieval measurement, do not act on the skill-harvest proposals or place REVIEWED-87.

> **Two things that bear on doing it well:**
> 1. **The assistant knowledge cutoff is May 2026 and today is August 2026.** An incident described as *"very recent"* is almost certainly **outside training**. Do not answer from memory — that is the exact shape of confabulating the rare specific. **Search the web**, and say plainly what is sourced versus what is inference.
> 2. **"Touches upon our work"** most plausibly means one of: AI governance / oversight failure · memory or context substrate failure · verification, provenance or citation integrity · the contamination problem (models optimising for the interlocutor) · AI-assisted authorship and attribution. Let the steward's framing lead; do not pre-fit the incident to a thread we already like — that is the failure this whole session was a study in.

**PULLING THREAD (inherited, unchanged, one day older): ask the corpus real questions and let that settle Chamber V1's voice-set.** The instruments are now materially better — the quoted tier accepts 6/17 instead of 3/17, `verify_quote` has a production caller, the jurist can read primary substrate, P5's anchors are content-verified. None of that is the point. The point is the thirteen and what V1 is *for*. **PULLING THREAD (inherited, unchanged, one day older): ask the corpus real questions and let that settle Chamber V1's voice-set.** The instruments are now materially better — the quoted tier accepts 6/17 instead of 3/17, `verify_quote` has a production caller, the jurist can read primary substrate, P5's anchors are content-verified.
