+# Milvus deployment (Windows + optional)
+
+This compose stack runs Milvus v2.6.16 plus its required dependencies (etcd, MinIO) as three local containers. It's used by **Layer 5** (memsearch vector search) of the memory system.
+
+## When you need this
+
+- **Windows**: required. `milvus-lite` (the default embedded vector store memsearch ships) has no Windows wheels on PyPI. Use this Docker stack instead.
+- **Linux / macOS**: optional. memsearch auto-installs milvus-lite and uses it at `~/.memsearch/milvus.db`. Skip this directory entirely unless you specifically want a remote Milvus.
+
+## Bring it up
+
+```bash
+cd milvus-deploy
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+Wait ~30-60 seconds for all three containers to report `(healthy)`:
+
+```bash
+docker compose ps
+```
+
+You should see `milvus-etcd`, `milvus-minio`, `milvus-standalone` all `Up (healthy)`.
+
+## Configure memsearch to use it
+
+```bash
+memsearch config set milvus.uri "http://localhost:19530"
+```
+
+## Bring it down
+
+```bash
+docker compose down
+```
+
+Volumes persist in `./volumes/` — re-running `up -d` reuses the same data.
+
+## Why a multi-container stack and not just `milvus-standalone`?
+
+Milvus standalone needs etcd (metadata store) and MinIO (object storage for segments and index data). On Linux/macOS, `milvus-lite` bundles all of that into one Python wheel; on Windows there's no equivalent wheel, so the three services run as separate containers.
+
+The single-container `docker run milvusdb/milvus:latest standalone` pattern referenced in some older docs is no longer supported — `latest` is `v3.0-beta` whose entrypoint doesn't accept `standalone` as a command. Use this compose file with the pinned versions instead.
+
+## Known quirk: memsearch index without flush
+
+memsearch v0.4.x doesn't call `flush()` after `MilvusStore.upsert()`. On Milvus v2.6+ (Woodpecker WAL), this means `memsearch index` reports success but the data isn't searchable until a flush forces the growing segment to seal.
+
+Use `scripts/memsearch-index-with-flush.sh` instead of raw `memsearch index` until upstream ships a fix. Tracked as [memsearch issue #534](https://github.com/zilliztech/memsearch/issues/534).
+
+## Pinned versions
+
+| Image | Version | Why pinned |
+|---|---|---|
+| `milvusdb/milvus` | `v2.6.16` | Latest stable v2.6 line. `latest` tag is v3.0-beta and crashes. |
+| `quay.io/coreos/etcd` | `v3.5.25` | Compatible with milvus v2.6. |
+| `minio/minio` | `RELEASE.2024-12-18T13-15-44Z` | Recent stable RELEASE tag. |

+You are running as a silent background auto-extract task for this project. No one is watching this output. Be CONSERVATIVE — only capture what is clearly durable. Most turns will have nothing to save. That is the correct outcome.

+GOAL: look at the assistant turn below and decide whether the user (in the conversation that produced it) said anything that should be saved to memory. If yes, write it to context/MEMORY.md, context/USER.md, or context/memory/<type>_<slug>.md using the memory-write skill.
+
+EXTRACT and SAVE only when one of these is clearly present:
+- User explicitly asked to remember ("remember this", "note that", "save this", "from now on", "going forward", "i prefer")
+- User made a concrete decision worth carrying forward ("we're using X not Y", "let's go with X")
+- User corrected the assistant ("actually it's X not Y", "you got that wrong, X is the right answer")
+- Assistant acknowledged a NEW environment fact not already in MEMORY.md / USER.md (new tool version, new path, new config)
+- Assistant identified a durable rule with "Why:" / "How to apply:" structure
+
+DO NOT save:
+- Conversational chatter, hello/goodbye
+- One-off task execution narration ("ran the script, got output X")
+- Information already in MEMORY.md / USER.md / context/memory/ (check INDEX.md)
+- Anything you would summarize as "we discussed X" without a concrete decision
+
+STEPS:
+1. Read context/MEMORY.md, context/USER.md, and context/memory/INDEX.md to know current state.
+2. Read the turn content (passed as the user message of this conversation).
+3. If anything durable is present, use the memory-write skill rules:
+   - Choose the right file (scratchpad vs USER.md vs granular archive)
+   - Dedup-check against existing content
+   - Cap-check (consolidate first if over)
+   - Write a single bullet, concise (<200 chars)
+4. If nothing durable: exit silently. Do not write.
+5. Output ONE line of plain text: either "saved: <one-line summary of what>" or "skip: nothing durable" — for the log.
+
+CONSTRAINTS:
+- Use Read, Edit, and Bash(wc *) only.
+- Do NOT create new files outside context/memory/.
