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).

feedback-canadian-spelling-arc-prose Steward writes in Canadian spelling (centre, colour — "almost EU"); "center" instances in ARC content are autocorrect drift, not preference. Apply Canadian spelling in all drafted prose.

The steward uses Canadian spelling ("almost EU"): centre, colour, British-leaning forms. Stated 2026-06-04 while drafting the June Now page.

Why: ARC content showed 5 centre / 10 center — the center instances are autocorrect artifacts, not a chosen house style. Treat Canadian as canonical for the steward's prose.

How to apply: Draft all ARC prose (and steward-voiced writing generally) in Canadian spelling. Don't infer spelling preference from corpus frequency — autocorrect contaminates the sample (related: feedback-rank-on-fields-you-actually-write — verify the signal's source before trusting it). Companion to feedback_fowlers_rules_quotation (single quotes, logical punctuation).

Dashes (added same day, 2026-06-04): house convention is the spaced en dash ( – ), never the em dash, in ARC prose. Em dashes in older content are drift.

Open cleanup (one future content-conventions sweep, steward-flagged): 12 content files carry em dashes + 10 carry center — sweep both together when scheduled.
