David F GliddenandClaude Opus 4.8 3f9a89b00c 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).

feedback-dependency-chains Always question dependency chains — check which specific phases are actually blocked, not just the chain as stated feedback claude-memory/feedback-dependency-chains

Never accept a dependency chain at face value. Always ask: which specific phases or tasks are actually blocked, and which can proceed independently?

Why: The chain "L1 reliable → Chamber testable → L2 formalizable" was accepted for 3 weeks without questioning that Chamber Phase 1-2 and L2 governance were independent of L1. This cost David weeks of governance time on L1 debugging.

How to apply: When a blocking dependency is stated, decompose it. Check whether sub-phases, sub-tasks, or parallel tracks exist that are not actually blocked. Surface these immediately. The contamination problem predicts that the executor will accept stated blockages rather than challenge them.
