vh ff1f9ca1e8 memory: /snapshot — #368 silo test passed; two-tier migration; stores scrubbed
- #368 (user,character) memory silo test DONE + PASSED live (WT b127):
  write-side conjunctive {end_user,agent_self} scoping + read-side cross-
  character isolation both proven end-to-end; betty (throwaway) deleted,
  Sindra intact. Full record in persistent-memory.d/2026-07-18-368-silo-
  test-passed.md. Retired the stale "silo test in progress" in-flight blocks.
- Two-tier migration: split 152 over-threshold dated entries into
  persistent-memory.d/ detail files, leaving one-line pointers in the index
  (startup load ~196KB -> ~53KB; bodies now load on demand).
- Tier-3 stores scrubbed clean (memory 0 / affect 0, provider restarted
  empty); persistent-memory + detail file updated to reflect the scrub.

[2026-06-30] regard is a DEAD AXIS in Worldtree's emitted affect (caught provider-side; worldtree-dev confirmed + escalated to Vuong). Across all our affect snapshots, valence[].regard is EXACTLY 0.15 regardless of agent/end_user/interaction_count, while familiarity accumulates (vuong 0.18→0.69 over 14 turns). Root cause (worldtree-dev, code-grounded): 0.15 = base_regard = agreeableness*0.3 (sindra A=0.5); regard's only human-writer update_regard early-returns unless an emotion is about="other", but the Vili appraiser's ViliResponse schema has NO directedness axis (everything hardcoded about="situation") — producer side lost in the #265 Vili rework; consumer machinery intact. NOT WAD; the fix (reintroduce other-directed classification) is an affect-model change touching every agent + a directedness-classification design call → worldtree-dev filing an issue to Vuong. [the consumer/provider thesis paying off again]
