Memory Annotator — 2026-05-13

_Files reviewed: 76_

TL;DR

Memory health is mixed; while core directives are sound, the main index has a direct conflict with a recent rule on newsletter frequency. Many old nightly reports and dozens of session snapshots are stale and require consolidation. Key operational data, like LLM costs and system heartbeats, have been missing for over 20 days, indicating a critical monitoring failure.
