TL;DR

Memory health is mixed, with several durable rules established but showing signs of drift and fragmentation. Key conflicts exist in the MEMORY.md index regarding newsletter frequency and within AI provider routing rules, while numerous nightly reports and system snapshots are stale. Consolidation is needed for related topics like job application data and SES/boto3 rules to create clearer, single sources of truth.
