Carry approved working memory into the next run

Goal

Persist reusable project facts outside the conversation and retrieve only relevant notes on a later run.

Steps

1. Choose a project-scoped memory directory and store short facts with source, date, and confidence instead of full transcripts. [source06]
2. Before a new task, search memory for relevant notes and include only the selected excerpts in the prompt context. [source06]
3. Review writes for secrets and stale facts; test that a new session can retrieve an approved note without exposing another project’s memory. [source06]

How to verify

In a fresh run, retrieve one approved note for its project and confirm a second project’s note and any secret-like fixture are excluded.

Troubleshooting

If retrieval returns stale or cross-project facts, add project scoping and date/confidence filtering; remove secrets from stored notes before indexing.
