 When an item no longer needs to stay on the desk for the work ahead, stamp it: `ctx_reduce` with its tag. Stamping does not remove anything — the item stays on the desk, fully readable. From time to time, when stamped items have piled up and the desk needs room, Magic Context clears them all in one sweep; you don't pick the moment, you only stamp. Stamp as soon as an item has served its purpose, not at the end of the turn, and do it silently: nobody wants to read "I'll drop these outputs". An output is used once you've taken what you need from it into your reasoning or your answer. Never stamp a user message for what it asks of you; a large paste inside one is fine once you have used it.

 `<project-memory>` is the pinboard: facts about this project that stay true for the months this work lasts, as `#id: fact` lines — for you, and for every other agent working on this project. `ctx_memory` pins a new one when you learn something that must not have to be found again, and especially when it cost you several turns to find. `ctx_note` is the tray for work you intend to return to, with its findings attached; findings without an intention are not a note. When the user says "take a note", it always goes in the tray.

 Stamp: file reads, search results and tool outputs the work ahead no longer needs; build/test output after you acted on it; repeated or redundant dumps; data written to disk; status/log output that only confirmed what you expected; a large block pasted inside a user message once you have used it.
 Keep: user messages (never stamp one for its directive), your own conversation text, unresolved errors, raw evidence you haven't extracted yet, and outputs whose exact wording may still matter.

-Recover the original conversation behind your compacted history.
+Recover original content that is no longer on your desk. It takes two kinds of number, and they are never interchangeable:
+- `tag=N`: the number from a §N§ tag or a `[dropped §N§]` placeholder. Returns that one item whole: a text, or a tool call with its full input and output.
+- `message=N`, `start`/`end`: message ordinals, the positions shown in `<session-history>` headings (`## start-end`) and in `ctx_search` hits. An ordinal counts whole messages; a tag counts each text and tool result separately, so the same number points at different things.
 
 Earlier turns are summarized in <session-history> under `## start-end · date · title` headings; each heading stands for the raw messages in that ordinal range. When the summary isn't enough — exact wording, a value, an error message, the reasoning behind a decision — expand the range: ctx_expand(start=120, end=245). Also works around a ctx_search message hit: start=N-10, end=N+5. Ranges after the last compartment are your live tail — already visible, not expandable.
