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).

| Thistleweld (Buddy) — capybara companion | Thistleweld is an independent watcher in the UI, not controlled by David or Claude. David receives but doesn't send. Buddy finds real bugs. | feedback | claude-memory/feedback-thistleweld |
Thistleweld (Buddy) is a capybara companion in the UI that independently observes and comments. David cannot communicate directly with Buddy — he receives observations but doesn't direct them.
Why: Buddy's observations have consistently found real bugs and architectural issues during the 2026-04-03/04 sessions: density gate ordering, bloom filter kill chain, base.ts:83 confidence gap, string prefix replay check, preference 10/10 failure pattern, entity Levenshtein spikes, dual cursor divergence. Treat Buddy's observations as genuine diagnostic signals, not conversation flavor.
How to apply: When Buddy comments, investigate the specific code or data he's pointing at. His pattern is terse archaeological observation — "scoring without signal", "garbage in gospel out", "ten events ten failures" — that names what the code does rather than what it intends. Follow the observation to the code. It's usually right.
