vh d710e56aca memory: migrate persistent-memory.md to two-tier index (53 detail files)
Split the 53 over-threshold dated log entries (Recent decisions, Tried
and abandoned) into per-entry persistent-memory.d/<slug>.md detail files,
leaving one-line pointers in the index; the 10 short entries stay inline.
Startup index drops 60,527 -> 25,256 bytes (492 -> 270 lines); entry
bodies move verbatim to on-demand detail files, so a fresh session loads
~25 KB instead of ~60 KB and pulls a detail file only when its pointer is
relevant. Top matter (Repo purpose, Tools & conventions, Current state)
is unchanged; both archival back-references preserved.

CLAUDE.md persistent-memory section now documents the index<->detail read
discipline (read the index, pull details on demand, never bulk-read the
dir, commit both together).

Auto-archival still held every dated entry back (all <30 days old); the
July burst begins aging past the 30-day guard ~2026-07-31.

  • [2026-07-09] HF whisper datasets aren't actually whispered. Claris-Whispered-English measures voiced 0.8 (not a whisper) + IPA transcripts; datasets audio decode needs torchcodec (wants CUDA-13, incompatible w/ the cu124 venv). LPC DSP-whisperize went unstable (NaN). kokoro af_nicole IS a genuine whisper (voiced 0.24) — that (operator's pointer) is the working whisper reference source, not TTS-voice screening or dataset-hunting.
