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).

| BM_LOCAL_MODEL must match installed Ollama model | BMF summarizer silently fails if default qwen2.5:7b model is not installed — set BM_LOCAL_MODEL explicitly | feedback | claude-memory/feedback-bm-local-model |
BMF's document summarizer requires a local generative model. The default is qwen2.5:7b but David has qwen3.5:4b installed. If the model name doesn't match, buildSharedLocalProvider returns null, the summarizer never wires, and ingested content reaches the logchain but never gets dispatched to vector — making recall return nothing.
Why: The model name check at bootstrap.ts:2451 uses startsWith on the model name prefix. No error is logged when the model isn't found — the summarizer just silently doesn't wire.
How to apply: Always start BMF with BM_LOCAL_MODEL=qwen3.5:4b (or whatever model is currently in Ollama). Check the boot log for "Document summarizer wired" to confirm. The cm-david:v2 fine-tuned model could also work with BM_LOCAL_MODEL=cm-david:v2.
