## Memory maintenance
- Reviewed recent memory habits and did a cleanup pass.
- Assessment:
  - capture frequency: good
  - long-term curation: decent but lagging behind capture
  - organization: getting messy due to a mix of daily logs, one-off topical notes, references, plans, logs, and machine-readable state in `memory/`
- Cleaned up `MEMORY.md` so it stores durable facts/lessons instead of mixed-in runtime/instruction text.
- Added a clearer rule to `AGENTS.md`: use named memory files only for long-lived plans/references/investigations; otherwise prefer the daily note.

## Durable lessons promoted to MEMORY.md
- Check current state before suggesting setup/re-setup.
- Treat Telegram DM and TUI/webchat as separate main-session contexts when `session.dmScope = "per-channel-peer"` is active.
- Prefer local-first search routing and remember Brave free-plan rate limits.
- Keep backup/transcription infrastructure notes in long-term memory when they affect future operations.

## Consolidation pass
- Archived obvious low-value auto-generated session-summary files out of top-level `memory/` into `memory/archive/session-summaries/` instead of deleting them.
- Archived files:
  - `2026-03-02-2127.md`
  - `2026-03-03-2223.md`
  - `2026-03-03-session-greeting.md`
  - `2026-03-04-0825.md`
  - `2026-03-04-greeting.md`
  - `2026-03-04-test-confirmation.md`
  - `2026-03-05-heartbeat-ok.md`
  - `2026-03-05-codex-error-type-error-error-t.md`
- Rationale: these were mostly reset/greeting/test/heartbeat artifacts with little long-term value, but still worth retaining in case old session evidence is needed later.

## Reclassification pass
- Moved substantive non-daily topical notes out of top-level `memory/` into clearer buckets:
  - `memory/ops/` for workflow/setup/operational notes
  - `memory/incidents/` for debugging, outages, and issue investigation notes
- Result: top-level `memory/` now contains mostly daily notes, which makes the default inbox much clearer.

## Follow-up intent
- Be more disciplined about using the daily note as the default inbox and promoting only durable truths into `MEMORY.md`.
- Avoid adding new one-off memory files unless the topic is truly long-lived.
- Keep top-level `memory/` mostly reserved for daily notes; use subfolders for topical material.
