+/**
+ * Second-brain paired measurement — substrate on vs off vs placebo
+ * (road-to-second-brain-delta-proof Phase 2).
+ *
+ * Runs the deterministic recall corpus (Phase 1) through a FIXED host under
+ * three arms and scores each transcript with `second_brain_score` (no
+ * model-in-the-loop grading):
+ *
+ *   - memory-off — the k+1 question alone (no prior-session context): the
+ *     no-memory baseline; the agent must re-derive from scratch.
+ *   - memory-on  — the question + the prior-session fact the substrate would
+ *     surface (perfect retrieval): the substrate's ideal output.
+ *   - placebo    — the question + an EQUAL-BYTE inert block (no relevant
+ *     content): isolates "relevant retrieved content" from "mere extra
+ *     context", exactly as the discipline benchmark isolates content from
+ *     length.
+ *
+ * A PASS requires memory-on to beat BOTH memory-off AND placebo (a sign test
+ * over the paired per-task scores). Otherwise an honest NULL is recorded.
+ *
+ * HONEST SCOPING (stated, not buried): the Phase-1 corpus is one-fact-per-task
+ * by construction, so memory-on injects the exact fact — this measures the
+ * CONTEXT-VALUE UPPER BOUND (does the right prior fact, perfectly retrieved,
+ * let the model answer) NOT the substrate's retrieval PRECISION under a large
+ * store. A large-store retrieval-precision corpus is the follow-up; this run
+ * bounds the ceiling and isolates it from mere-extra-context via the placebo.
+ *
+ * Modes:
+ *   --dry-run   build every prompt + score a STUBBED "ideal" transcript per
+ *               arm (memory-on stub contains the fact, off/placebo do not) — no
+ *               API calls, no spend; proves the harness + arms wire correctly.
+ *   --run       live calls to the fixed host (SPEND). Writes the pinned report.
+ *   --host <id> fixed host model id (default claude-haiku-4-5-20251001).
+ *   --seeds <n> repetitions per arm×task (default 3).
+ *
+ * Exit codes: 0 ok / 1 run error / 2 usage.

+/**
+ * Opt-in compact session-start memory index
+ * (road-to-memory-retrieval-economy Phase 5).
+ *
+ * When `memory.session_index: on` in `.agent-settings.yml` (default OFF —
+ * the `memory-load` "never auto-triggered" stance holds), `session_start`
+ * additionally injects a compact index of curated memory entries:
+ * `id · title · ~tokens`, hard-capped at {@link SESSION_INDEX_ROW_CAP} rows.
+ * Bodies are NEVER injected — the index only tells the model what exists
+ * and what a fetch would cost; full entries come through `memory_get`
+ * (MCP) / `agent-config memory:get` on demand.
+ *
+ * The block is spotlighted as DATA, not instructions
+ * (untrusted-input-defense), and is emitted through the same hook surface
+ * as the hot-context cache (`hot_context_hook.ts` — the sole caller).
+ *
+ * Ship-criterion honesty (roadmap P5): the default stays `off` until a
+ * measured hit-rate gain justifies the fixed cost. The fixed cost is
+ * deterministic (real tokenizer, reported by `session_index_cost()`); the
+ * hit-rate arm needs a live paired run and has NOT been executed — so the
+ * default is off, per the roadmap's "off unless proven".
