MC-DEC-20260827-8f4c2a91 — Protocol 0.7 body fencing#

Status: active Scope: project Subject: MC-SUBJ-20260729-7e5c3a91 Facet: compatibility Evidence:

• repo:cli/memory_custodian/entries.py
• test:tests/test_protocol_07_release_gaps.py

Decision: Use memory-custodian-body-v1; treat legacy entities literally. Search decoded text; mutate raw source.

Reason: Preserves parse/write semantics.

MC-DEC-20260801-07000007 — Protocol 0.7 governance#

Status: active Scope: project Subject: MC-SUBJ-20260729-7e5c3a91 Facet: architecture Evidence:

• user-confirmed
• repo:cli/memory_custodian/local_overlay.py
• test:tests/test_local_snapshot.py Supersedes: MC-DEC-20260729-ef44900b

Decision: Use explicit routing and review. Strict reads consume one overlay snapshot; local writes refresh IDs under lock. Defer further governance to 0.8.

Reason: Avoids mixed-time reads/stale IDs.

MC-DEC-20260721-3578b077 — Support Python 3.10–3.14#

Status: active Scope: project Subject: MC-SUBJ-20260801-10000001 Facet: version-policy Evidence:

• legacy-unverified

Decision: Support and test Python 3.10 through 3.14. Reason: No newer Python feature is required.

MC-DEC-20260712-53d9eded — Prefer reachable memory#

Status: active Scope: project Subject: MC-SUBJ-20260801-20000002 Facet: behavior Evidence:

• legacy-unverified

Decision: Prefer concise, reachable, scope-specific memory over chronology. Reason: Reachability determines utility.

MC-DEC-20260708-ab7efbab — Gemini thin-context support#

Status: active Scope: project Subject: MC-SUBJ-20260801-30000003 Facet: compatibility Evidence:

• legacy-unverified

Decision: Support Gemini through thin GEMINI.md, --with-gemini, and ./install.sh gemini skill linking. Reason: Avoid eager durable-memory imports.

MC-DEC-20260705-00552a27 — Targeted active-memory compaction#

Status: active Scope: project Subject: MC-SUBJ-20260801-40000004 Facet: behavior Evidence:

• legacy-unverified

Decision: Provide preview-first compact --target <file> with bullet dedupe, reviewed H2 archival, and status/check guidance. Reason: Keep maintenance offline and reviewable.

MC-DEC-20260704-ddfc2d0c — Claude plugin-root distribution#

Status: active Scope: project Subject: MC-SUBJ-20260801-50000005 Facet: compatibility Evidence:

• legacy-unverified

Decision: Support Claude Code through .claude-plugin/, shared skills/bin, --plugin-dir tests, and ./install.sh claude. Reason: Provide a verifiable install surface.

MC-DEC-20260704-342e05b7 — Offline skill evals first#

Status: active Scope: project Subject: MC-SUBJ-20260801-60000006 Facet: behavior Evidence:

• legacy-unverified

Decision: Maintain offline skill scenarios and a checker before live-agent evals. Reason: Avoid a heavyweight harness.
