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).

name: BM_LOCAL_MODEL must match installed Ollama model
description: BMF summarizer silently fails if default qwen2.5:7b model is not installed
— set BM_LOCAL_MODEL explicitly
type: feedback
permalink: 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`.
