TL;DR

Memory contains significant clutter from dozens of stale nightly reports and precompact snapshots that should be archived. A key conflict exists in the main MEMORY.md index regarding newsletter frequency, and an internal conflict confuses AI provider routing rules in feedback_cache_ai_assets_on_s3_20260509.md. Several related feedback files, particularly those concerning job applications and SES/boto3 issues, could be consolidated to improve clarity.

Conflicts

files: ['MEMORY.md', 'feedback_newsletters_are_daily_20260511.md'] · issue: MEMORY.md lists scheduled newsletters as 'Weekly', while feedback_newsletters_are_daily_20260511.md explicitly states they are all daily.
files: ['feedback_cache_ai_assets_on_s3_20260509.md'] · issue: The 'Routing rule' for image generation contradicts the provider table (e.g., maps Tier B to Bedrock, but the table maps Tier B to Google Imagen 4).
