David F GliddenandClaude Opus 4.7 119285cf43 claude: back up custom skills, memory, and settings with symlink pattern 
The ~/.claude/ directory was previously local-only — a machine wipe
would have lost the accumulated memory, custom skills, and settings.
This commit moves the durable parts into dotfiles with the same
symlink-to-home pattern used for CLAUDE.md, PENDING.md, REVIEWED.md,
and L2-BOOTSTRAP.md.

Preserved (symlinked from ~/.claude/* into here):
  skills/audit/              — thinking-folder drift scanner
  skills/symmetria/          — practice-of-return discipline
  skills/vault-update-people/ — Obsidian People-file maintainer
  skills/wake-up/            — session restoration
  skills/wrap-up/            — session state capture
  memory/                    — 55+ memory files (MEMORY.md, sessions,
                               ledgers, project state, feedback, etc.)
  settings/settings.json     — user preferences (hooks, flags, no secrets)

Deliberately NOT backed up:
  settings.local.json   — contains operational secrets (HF_TOKEN,
                           SSH password in expect scripts); by naming
                           convention, *.local.* is not synced.
                           Needs separate review and probable rotation.
  sessions/, history.jsonl, caches, telemetry — ephemeral
  plugins/, marketplace skills and agents — reinstallable

The working copies at ~/.claude/skills/* and
~/.claude/projects/-Users-davidglidden/memory are symlinks into this
directory, so every write flows here automatically. install.sh
recreates the symlinks on a fresh machine.

FOLLOW-ON (flagged, not in this commit):
  settings.local.json contains a HuggingFace token and an SSH password
  as plaintext strings inside allowed Bash command patterns. These
  should be rotated and moved to secure storage (keychain / pass /
  env file outside the settings file).

Raw Blame History

Claude Code Memory

CapableMind L1 (BMF)

  • Storage migration: SurrealDB → SQLite+LanceDB COMPLETE + bottlenecks fixed + RECALL VALIDATED — branch trial/storage-sqlite-lance, 30 commits ahead of main, HEAD 4ef8f5b. All 13 modules + factory + meld + reconciliations + graduation + lifecycle wiring ported. Plus 5 bottleneck fixes shipped 2026-04-15 (#154 entity persist transaction wrap, #155 HNSW build, #156 Ollama keep_alive, #157 LanceDB compaction, #158 cosine distance formula). Recall live-tested on real vault data: sub-second response, confidence 1.0 on top match, all 4 fixes confirmed working end-to-end. See session-2026-04-15-recall-symmetria.md and session-2026-04-14-migration-completion.md
  • End-of-pass artifact: ~/_Dev/CapableMind-AI/docs/thinking/David/l1-reliability/2026-04-14-migration-completion-pass.md
  • Decision: better-sqlite3 (relational) + LanceDB (vector+FTS). Benchmarked with NFCorpus/BEIR. SurrealDB had ZERO recall.
  • Amendments 58-61 shipped by Seb. Pairing active (peer-sysops-david).
  • Summarizer: BM_LOCAL_MODEL=qwen3.5:4b. Teacher OFF (no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY).
  • Steward set up fresh data dir for vault ingestion test: ~/.capablemind/data/mindfabric-00/ empty; old data preserved at mindfabric-00.surreal-backup-20260414-142358.
  • See bmf-details.md for full technical state, issues, deployment
  • bmf-summarizer-contract.md — deferred refactor: summarizer is coupled to local_files observation shape; most connectors fell through silently (fixed structurally in storage-migration PR). Open [PROPOSAL] for connector-agnostic contract.

Active Projects

  • project-focus-april-may.md — L2 PARKED, L1 scaling + agent circles until end of May (Seb's deadline)
  • CapableMind L1/L2: ~/_Dev/CapableMind-AI (playbook) + ~/_Dev/BetterMemories.io (runtime)
  • ARC: ~/_Dev/animal-davidglidden-eu — push blocked on Gitea restart
  • Chamber Library: ~/_Dev/chamber-library
  • Obsidian vault: ~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/David, root-and-branch
  • See repo-names.md — GitHub repos renamed (capableMind_docs, betterMemories_app, etc.)

L2 Constitutional State (2026-04-02)

  • 18 invariants: I1-I14 + Cluster A (I15/I16/I17) + ICP-19. AF-7 CLOSED. GOV-05/06 LIFTED.
  • ICP-19 first review: 9 of 13 findings RESOLVED. L2 assessed as alpha. 4 remaining (design/long-horizon).
  • Key decisions made: Stratified Amendment Protocol (Option C), Constitutive Seam Position C, Consolidation degradation protocol, invariant selection criteria codified, DEGRADE vocabulary resolved, enforcement_status field defined.
  • 4 new canonical documents: invariant-selection-criteria, stratified-amendment-protocol, consolidation-engine-degradation-protocol, constitutive-seam-boundary-governance-position.
  • External Auditor — referred to only as "the External Auditor" in all documents. Name not to appear in constitutional documents, design notes, governance records, or session outputs.
  • Cluster B (I18-I20) and v0.5 cycle DEFERRED until remaining findings addressed.
  • See l2-review-state.md for full findings resolution table
  • See open-tasks.md for task list and dependency chain

Chamber Prototype

  • Phase 1 COMPLETE (2026-03-27), Phase 2 COMPLETE (2026-03-28). Phase 2 human_notes pending.
  • Phase 3 PARKED — not blocking L2. ARN + Pirkei Avot in library. BMF server UP but replay throughput too slow for usable recall. Training flywheel paused (no teacher).
  • Kingdom: Traditionis — chain of transmission. First new Kingdom.
  • See chamber-prototype.md for full state and findings

Chamber Library & Braid Texts

Key Decisions

  • SurrealDB → SQLite+LanceDB — benchmarked, decided 2026-04-13. SurrealDB had zero recall (upstream bugs). SQLite for relational, LanceDB for vector+FTS. Scale-ready (HNSW O(log n), Tantivy BM25). David rejected any type escape — prime directive applies.
  • Effect-TS proposed as L1 substrate — typed errors, structured concurrency, Layers for DI, supervised fibers, built-in tracing. Chosen over neverthrow because team is scaling. Needs Seb's buy-in.
  • UCE/CIE deprecated — L2 supersedes it
  • ARC becomes renderer of Chamber output
  • Constitutional stabilization, not automation of recognition (DN-GOV-08)
  • Counter-norm on inherited legitimacy (DN-GOV-07)
  • Stratified amendment: hardening easy to do, hard to undo (F-2 Option C)
  • Constitutive seam: boundary named, held open, 18-month backstop (F-12 Position C)
  • DN-PHIL-001: contamination + entity nature inquiries are non-blocking
  • Earned confidence: constitutional position (jurist 2026-04-03) — system shall not grant epistemic authority without external grounding
  • L0 = contamination problem + Freeman question — L1 epistemic integrity is the readiness condition

Collaboration Model

  • Three-party model: David (steward), Claude.app (jurist), Claude Code (executor)
  • Authorization taxonomy: [FIX], [HARDENING], [PROPOSAL], [ESCALATE]
  • Executor Agency Directives in ~/CLAUDE.md
  • collaboration-signal-travel.md — signal travel protocol
  • feedback-thistleweld.md — Buddy finds real bugs, treat observations as diagnostic signals

Personal Context

  • Nuria: David's partner, mother to Kai
  • Musician (principal violist) + philology/ontology/epistemics training
  • MORE available for CapableMind while touring than at home (Kai care)
  • Mac has 16 GB RAM — cannot run large local models (>7B at fp16). Heavy model work (Chandra OCR, large LoRA) goes to Peter's M4 or clasp.
  • Governance symlinks: ~/CLAUDE.md, ~/L2-BOOTSTRAP.md, ~/PENDING.md, ~/REVIEWED.md → ~/dotfiles/

Obsidian Vault

  • Daily log: Vault/.../CapableMind/daily-log/YYYY-MM-DD.md
  • Thinking mirror: rsync'd from CapableMind-AI/docs/thinking/David/, every 48h via launchd

Reference Files

ARC / AldineXXI

  • project-arc-rework.md — reawakened 2026-04-16. Landscape named after local dev restored: essay-versioning question (TODO, explore together), about-pages rework (Desk Interlude has Kai unborn, Lune's presence changed, too many quotes, Manutius paraphrase out), after-the-reply sequence, sequences as first-class, poem + observations + glimpses queued, repo-wide cleanup
  • arc-removed-content-types.md — 7 archive types removed, revisit if they re-emerge from practice
  • AldineXXI spec v2.0: animal-davidglidden-eu/docs/AldineXXI-Codex/AldineXXI-specification.md
  • Vignette spec (jurist approved): animal-davidglidden-eu/docs/AldineXXI-Codex/vignette-specification.md
  • Gap map: animal-davidglidden-eu/docs/AldineXXI-Codex/gap-map-2026-04-13.md
  • Bringhurst + Warde in chamber-library: converted_texts/collections/typography/
  • Vignette Phase 3 (renderer) waiting on: Gitea restart, fresh session, Hakyll build
  • Palette test page: animal-davidglidden-eu/palette-test.html

Artistic Projects

  • cabaret-project.md — Barcelona cabaret, Pierrot Lunaire, interdisciplinary collective (stem-cell phase)

Research Practice

Tools & Skills

  • vault-people-skill.md — /vault-update-people skill for maintaining People files (active)
  • mempalace-dev-tool.md — MemPalace installed as dev context tool, MCP wired, 10K drawers (thinking + transcripts + vault)
  • /wake-up skill — restores full context from MemPalace + memory + governance + git (proactive on session start)
  • /wrap-up skill — captures session state, files to MemPalace, checks loose ends, syncs vault
  • /audit skill — scans thinking folder + vault inbox for organizational drift, reports issues by severity, proposes fixes
  • /symmetria skill (NEW 2026-04-15) — practice-of-return discipline layer, keeps prime directive foregrounded under context pressure. Modes: init, check , audit-agent, ledger, (no args = pulse). Maintains daily ledger at session-ledger-YYYY-MM-DD.md. Spec at ~/_Dev/CapableMind-AI/docs/thinking/David/methodology/symmetria-skill-spec.md. Steward flagged: contamination dynamic — I'll over-report usefulness because I co-designed it. Counter-commitment: bias toward neutral/negative observations.
  • /wake-up and /wrap-up revised 2026-04-15 with the Dasein-frame additions: pulling thread (singular), pause statement (gap as phenomenon), literal question for next-Claude (the unborn), Symmetria ledger merge in /wrap-up, Symmetria auto-init in /wake-up for non-trivial sessions. The wake/wrap pair is now an L0 prototype of the L1 Phase 2 substrate (pause-as-event + projection across discontinuity).
  • parked-skills-2026-04-15.md — proposed but deferred skills: /care-check (mid-session drift detection), /where-were-we (short-interruption companion to wake-up), /translate-for-peter, /threshold (phase-boundary marking). Decision principle: ship when friction shows up in real session work, not preemptively.

Observer Problem Inquiry

  • observer-problem-state.md — External Auditor review received, Absorption Trap confirmed, review deliberately untaxonomized
  • ungovernable-threshold.md — DN-DRAFT: governance digests challenge; earned confidence extends to vocabulary itself. Hold open.
  • Observer-problem files moved to l2-constitution/observer-problem/ (2026-04-09)

Active Session

  • session-2026-04-17-versioning-regime.md — Essay-versioning question RESOLVED into ADR-005: genesis at publication; three forms (print-tradition breadcrumb / Augustinian retractation / Zibaldone accumulation); dates not semver. Full regime captured (ADR-005 + versioning mechanism sketch + frontmatter specification + make revise). Colophon is first worked example (frontmatter + The Formation section + Desk meta-commentary for son's arrival). Ethics of the Reply I & II v2 staged under _staging/versioning-prep/ with v1 snapshots preserved. Typography deliberately skeletal — Option 1: let the need drive the AldineXXI application agent into existence. Two commits: 86c1bbb (regime + colophon), 040c16d (staging). Pulling thread: path to publication — Hakyll infrastructure vs typography application skill, which lever first?
