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.

[2026-07-03] The "neutral non-appraising tail" premise fails — the neutral MESSAGE choice dominates. The R30 φ0 method assumed neutral turns don't re-appraise, but factual-question neutrals ("capital of France?") trigger a new emotion nearly every turn (disappointment from the warmth-withdrawal let-down after a positive impulse) → emotions_active never empties in 50 turns. A minimal "Please continue." triggers FAR fewer (emotions clear ~turn 16 with spacing). The personal dry-run caught this BEFORE ~280 demo turns were spent on it — the instrument catching a flaw in the measurement design before the compute burn. (Irrelevant to the joint fit — the push_t covariate handles re-appraisal — but load-bearing for the empty-tail read.)
