The wake reported MEMORY.md at 26,803 bytes against a 24,986-byte budget, so the
index was being silently truncated at load — the failure the two-file split exists
to prevent, on the one file every session reads first.
The cause was not bulk. It was an inversion the file's own Index discipline section
forbids: "Canonical Trackers as one-line pointers — chronological detail lives in
the linked tracker files, not here." Five tracker entries had grown into paragraphs,
and for three of them the index had become the SOLE custodian of live state:
- Studium Engine: the tracker's chronological log stopped at 2026-08-13 while the
index carried engine state through 2026-09-01 (REVIEWED-133, 496cd7e, the
deleted undisclosed_days_in_force). Relocated verbatim as a dated log entry.
- The Fool (Tarbuckle): the only linked target was a SEALED seed, which is not a
place state may be appended, so there was nowhere for it to go. Tracker
established (project-fool-tarbuckle.md); index line relocated verbatim.
- L1 reliability: the tracker records that replay is "not resumable" but neither
the mechanism (minCursor is a minimum over 11 modules, two never participate, so
it is pinned at 0 by construction) nor the completion criterion (uninterrupted
run length, not rate). Both appended.
Cut only where the file's own rule says to cut. "Rules that fire silently" was left
untouched by design — those entries keep their rule inline precisely because I would
not know to look them up, and gutting them is the one cut that would do real harm.
The frozen verification-ladder pointer (REVIEWED-123) and the skill-harvest hold
(PENDING-141) were likewise not touched.
Lossless-relocation gate applied: line-range slices, never retyping; md5 per slice;
token-conservation check over all five originals against the trimmed index and the
relocation targets — 0 unconserved after the L1 append. Link canary: 406 pointers,
0 dead, 0 mis-authored; 32 wikilinks clean.
26,803 -> 23,714 bytes. Headroom is only 1.3 KB; the Active Session block still
carries ~5.5 KB that the wrap rotates.
