TL;DR

Memory contains many current, durable rules but is cluttered with stale nightly reports and dozens of ephemeral snapshot files. A direct conflict exists in the main 'MEMORY.md' index regarding newsletter schedules that needs correction. Several related feedback files can be merged to reduce redundancy and improve clarity.

Stale memos

file: upcoming_manifestation_app_2026-05-09.md · reason: The target due date of 2026-05-10 has passed, making this plan outdated.
file: nightly-report-2026-04-24.md · reason: Nightly reports are snapshots in time; this is over three weeks old and no longer relevant.
file: nightly-report-2026-05-01.md · reason: This report documents a system state from over two weeks ago and is stale.
file: nightly-report-2026-05-09.md · reason: This report is over a week old and describes a past system state.
file: nightly-report-2026-05-10.md · reason: This report is stale and uses a different, less-detailed format than more recent reports.
file: precompact-20260418-045118.md · reason: One of many ephemeral session snapshots that clutter the memory; should be archived or deleted.

Conflicts

files: ['MEMORY.md', 'feedback_newsletters_are_daily_20260511.md'] · issue: MEMORY.md lists newsletters under 'Scheduled Newsletters' as 'Weekly', but feedback_newsletters_are_daily_20260511.md explicitly corrects this to 'daily'.
files: ['feedback_prism_hierarchy_and_gems_theme_20260514.md', 'feedback_chat_first_ui_pattern_20260515.md'] · issue: The 'chat-first UI pattern' supersedes the 'GEMS theme' for new development on jarvis.livegroweveryday.com, making the GEMS theme a legacy pattern for older apps.

Merge candidates

keep: feedback_application_demographics_20260514.md · merge_in: ['feedback_visa_status_green_card_20260514.md'] · reason: Both files cover durable facts for job applications and were created the same day; they should be one file.
keep: feedback_ses_cold_start_latency.md · merge_in: ['feedback_no_duplicate_ses_send_20260503.md'] · reason: Both files describe related SES/boto3 issues from the same day and should be a single comprehensive memo.
keep: nightly-reports-archive.md · merge_in: ['nightly-report-2026-04-24.md', 'nightly-report-2026-04-25.md', 'nightly-report-2026-04-26.md', 'nightly-report-2026-04-27.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-01.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-02.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-03.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-04.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-05.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-07.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-09.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-10.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-11.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-12.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-13.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-14.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-15.md', 'nightly-report-2026-05-16.md'] · reason: The large number of individual nightly reports should be consolidated into a single rolling log or archive.
keep: None · merge_in: ['precompact-20260418-045118.md', 'precompact-20260418-054805.md', 'precompact-20260419-023134.md'] · reason: The dozens of 'precompact' snapshot files are low-value, high-clutter artifacts that should be deleted.
