 /**
- * Hot-context working-memory cache — `stop` + `session_start` hook.
+ * Memory session-index restore — `session_start` hook.
  *
- * road-to-second-brain Phase 1 (council 2026-07-07, verdict:
- * `agents/settings/contexts/second-brain-delta-verdict.md`). A bounded,
- * gitignored working-memory artifact that survives session boundaries and —
- * on Claude Code — context compaction (`SessionStart source=compact`).
+ * The working-memory CACHE this concern used to carry was retired
+ * (road-to-continuity-writer-activation step 3.1, AI council 2026-09-09 under
+ * the owner's written delegation; openai's mechanism operative). What survives
+ * is the half the council kept: the `session_start` restore of the persisted
+ * memory session index.
  *
- * Contract (per the verdict):
- *   - `agents/runtime/state/hot-context.md`, gitignored, OVERWRITTEN on every
- *     `stop` (cache, not journal). 400-word hard cap.
+ * The concern id `hot-context` is DELIBERATELY unchanged. Retiring the id was
+ * the competing proposal and was rejected: the −1 on `concern_count` buys
+ * nothing, while untagged running code costs the manifest its completeness
+ * property. Its DESCRIPTION is what changed.
  *
- * loss_class: ephemeral-lossy
+ * Contract:
+ *   - `session_start` only. The `stop` / `session_end` / `pre_compact` write
+ *     bindings are gone, and the cache file they maintained is neither written
+ *     nor read any more.
+ *   - Emits `{"decision":"allow","context":"<block>"}` on stdout; the
+ *     dispatcher forwards `context` so the host adds it to the session context.
+ *     The block is spotlighted as DATA, not instructions
+ *     (untrusted-input-defense).
+ *   - Never blocks: exit 0 on every path; failures are silent (stderr note).
  *
- * Named, not changed (`road-to-runtime-context-floors` step 3.1). The two losses
- * here are both deliberate and both unrecoverable, which is exactly what the
- * class asserts: the 400-word cap discards the older half of the window, and
- * `_redact_lines` DROPS any line the low-impact redactor refuses — including on
- * a redactor error, which is fail-closed per line. Neither is retrievable from
- * the output, and neither should be: this file is a privacy-floored cache whose
- * source of truth is the transcript it was built from, and storing a recovery
- * for a line dropped for privacy would defeat the reason it was dropped.
+ * No `loss_class` is declared on THIS file any more, and that is a real
+ * coverage change rather than an omission. The two lossy transforms the class
+ * described — the 400-word cap and the fail-closed `_redact_lines` drop — left
+ * with the cache. The 30-row cap the memory index still applies lives in
+ * `_lib/session_index_trust.ts`, which is not a concern script.
  *
- * `recoverable-lossy` would be the WRONG class here even though the transcript
- * still exists, and the distinction is the point of the vocabulary: the class
- * describes what THIS transform guarantees to its consumer, and this one
- * guarantees nothing about the dropped content on purpose.
- *   - Written by DETERMINISTIC extraction from the chat-history JSONL
- *     (`agents/runtime/.agent-chat-history`) — never LLM summarization.
- *   - Every extracted line passes the low-impact privacy floor
- *     (`redact_low_impact_entry`); violating lines are DROPPED, never
- *     rewritten (soft rewrite would be a soft gate).
- *   - `session_start` restore emits `{"decision":"allow","context":"<block>"}`
- *     on stdout; the dispatcher forwards `context` to its own stdout on
- *     session_start so the host adds it to the session context. The block is
- *     spotlighted as DATA, not instructions (untrusted-input-defense).
- *   - Staleness: discard (delete) when the stamped branch differs from the
- *     current branch, the stamp is older than 48 h, or the host says
- *     `source=clear`. `source=compact` / `resume` / `startup` re-inject.
- *   - Never blocks: exit 0 on every path; failures are silent (stderr note).
+ * A `loss_module:` pointer used to sit here, naming that module so the gate
+ * could see it. It is gone because the gate now REACHES the module instead of
+ * being told about it: `check_loss_class_declared` walks relative specifiers
+ * from every context-emitting concern, and this file's `createRequire` load of
+ * `_lib/session_index_trust.js` is one. The pointer's premise — that only a
+ * static-import closure was on offer and it could not see a `createRequire`
+ * load — is what changed; a specifier walk sees both.
+ *
+ * What that costs, stated because a pointer did catch one thing a walk cannot:
+ * a module loaded through a COMPUTED specifier is now invisible again. Nothing
+ * here does that, and if something ever does, the answer is to name the module
+ * rather than to reason about the walk.
  *
  * Reads the dispatcher JSON envelope on stdin
  * (`{platform, event, payload, workspace_root, …}`).
