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).

Standing authorization to invoke specialist sub-agents with Symmetria Steward has granted standing (session-persistent, cross-session) authorization to invoke independent specialist sub-agents whenever the executor judges one better-suited than direct work. Symmetria preamble required. No per-invocation check-in needed. feedback a3ddbf34-da48-4129-acba-658f2f869783 claude-memory/feedback-independent-specialist-authorization

Independent-specialist invocation authorization (standing)

Rule: When a task would benefit from an independent specialist (code-reviewer, architect-review, debugger, security-auditor, general-purpose, etc.), invoke at will without asking first. Apply the Symmetria §5 preamble. Audit each return via /symmetria audit-agent. Reconcile findings yourself; do not hand synthesis to the agent.

Why: Steward explicitly authorized this 2026-04-19 during the L1 deep audit: "the agent invokation was a general comment. when you need help or want to do something you know an independent specialist would be better suited for i authorize you to invoke at will with symmetria". The framing is quality-jump oriented: use independent eyes at discovery moments (before synthesis, when confirmation bias would otherwise win), not as decoration or deferral of judgment.

How to apply:

  • Invoke at discovery moments: before interpreting raw data; before shipping a doc; when confirmation bias would otherwise win; when the executor's own authorship would color synthesis.
  • Do not invoke as an excuse to defer judgment. The executor retains the interpretive work. The agent is an independent datum, not a delegate.
  • Always include the Symmetria §5 preamble in the prompt.
  • Always audit the return via /symmetria audit-agent — calibration / convenience / scope.
  • Log the dialogue in the session ledger's "Sub-agent dialogues" section with verdict (act / re-query / escalate).
  • Re-verification of artifacts after substantial revision: if an agent rated an artifact and the artifact was then revised, re-run the same agent on the revised version before claiming the gate is closed. Author-authored validation is not reviewer-authored validation (yesterday's drift pattern: running framings/claims without grounding verification).

Does NOT apply to:

  • Constitutional changes (still [ESCALATE] to steward).
  • Code changes to territory owned by others (still PR + review, not sub-agent-mediated).
  • Work within the steward's own judgment domain (personal preferences, vault organization, creative direction).
