+ * Producer-side helpers for the memory-visibility line.
+ *
+ * TypeScript twin of `work_engine/scoring/memory_visibility.py` (ADR-200 py2ts
+ * Phase 1 — work_engine scoring subpackage). Public API names stay snake_case
+ * to mirror the Python module 1:1 (per ADR-200 — Python style is part of the
+ * contract).
+ *
+ * Implements the v1 line shape from
+ * `docs/contracts/memory-visibility-v1.md`:
+ *
+ *     🧠 Memory: <hits>/<asks> · ids=[<comma-separated-ids>]
+ *     🧠 Memory: <hits>/<asks> · ids=[<...>] · affected: <keys>
+ *
+ * The optional `· affected: <keys>` trailing segment surfaces which
+ * closed-list decision-trace keys diverged because memory was
+ * consulted — see `docs/contracts/decision-trace-v1.md` "Memory
+ * consequence keys".
+ *
+ * The semantics matched to the work-engine model:
+ *
+ * - The `memory` step retrieves across the four allowed memory types
+ *   (`MEMORY_TYPES` in `directives.backend.memory`). Each type is
+ *   one `ask` from the visibility-line perspective.
+ * - `hits` counts distinct types that returned at least one entry.
+ * - `ids` is the deduped list of returned entry ids preserving the
+ *   retrieval order encoded in `state.memory`.
+ *
+ * Privacy floor: this module never emits entry bodies, summaries,
+ * `path`/`source` fields, or anything beyond `id` and `type`.
+ * The privacy regression test (`tests/contracts/test_memory_
+ * visibility_redaction.py`) keeps this guarantee enforced.
