+## Dependency direction — memory is file-first, with no external backend
+
+`agent-config` is the upstream, standalone package. Its memory layer is
+file-first and self-contained: curated YAML under `agents/memory/<type>/`
+plus agent-written JSONL under `agents/memory/intake/`, read by `retrieve()`
+in `src/scripts/memory_lookup.ts`. There is no external memory backend.
+
+[ADR-094](docs/decisions/ADR-094-agent-memory-layer-removal.md) removed the
+`@event4u/agent-memory` binding — the provider seam, the package detection,
+and the MCP routing that used it "when present" — and explicitly rejected
+leaving the integration surface inert: *"a dormant integration surface
+advertising a capability the suite no longer has is misleading residue."*
+
+Two rules survive that removal, and both are unconditional:
+
+- **Never hard-depend on a package that depends on `agent-config`.** That was
+  the case for `agent-memory`, so the dependency could only ever run one way;
+  reversing it would create a cycle and break installs in consumer projects
+  that want the rule/skill layer alone.
+- **Adding any external memory backend is a Class-B decision** under
+  [ADR-124](docs/decisions/ADR-124-embedded-engine-doctrine.md) § 5 — its own
+  ADR, a named consumer demand signal, and a measured Class-A failure — never
+  a dependency bump or a config entry.

+
+Forty top-level fetches cannot reach a fact buried in an implementation file, so
+`--deep` adds depth **without** relaxing the posture: a **read-only clone at a
+pinned SHA, never executed** — no install, no build, no script, no package
+manager; network for the clone itself and nothing else.
+It **requires a non-empty anchor table** (§ 1b): depth is spent proving or

+When the reference ships a **consumable artifact** — index, graph, manifest,

+An axis table can say "ships a graph"; only this probe says "our candidate path
