Memory health is poor, with numerous stale reports and logs that require archiving. Critical conflicts exist in core UI design principles and documented newsletter schedules that need immediate resolution. There are also significant opportunities to consolidate scattered rules on job applications and AI cost-saving into unified playbooks.

Conflicts

files: ['feedback_chat_first_ui_pattern_20260515.md', 'feedback_prism_hierarchy_and_gems_theme_20260514.md'] · issue: The canonical UI theme conflicts: '...gems_theme...' mandates a cyan '#00d4ff' HUD look, while the newer '...chat_first...' mandates a 'cool blue (#6aa9ff)' look and explicitly forbids 'NO neon cyan'.
files: ['MEMORY.md', 'feedback_newsletters_are_daily_20260511.md'] · issue: 'MEMORY.md' lists newsletters as 'Weekly', but 'feedback_newsletters_are_daily_20260511.md' states all newsletters are 'daily'.

keep: feedback_chat_first_ui_pattern_20260515.md · merge_in: ['feedback_prism_hierarchy_and_gems_theme_20260514.md'] · reason: Merging the older theme into the newer one would resolve their conflict and clarify the current standard.
