Turning off auto-memory without losing the memories

TL;DR Theo’s takedown of agent auto-memory made me audit mine. The audit agreed with him: most of what auto-memory had written was stale project state I never asked for. But where he deleted everything and switched it off, I switched it off and kept the good third. Durable project knowledge got graduated into the repos themselves as committed docs, and durable personal workflow rules moved into a curated index in a private git repo, mounted as a submodule inside my public dotfiles. Memory count on my machine: a hundred and sixty odd auto-written files down to zero.
