 ```
 
+`MAX_PARALLEL_TOTAL` is the machine-wide process cap shared by protocol-v1 and legacy work.
+Runtime startup is a separate FIFO gate: by default only one Claude, Codex, or Kimi process may be
+initializing at a time, and launches are spaced by three seconds. A process leaves the startup gate
+only after its runtime-specific ready event; startup timeout cancels the owned process tree.
+
 Local policy can reduce server-requested access and limits; it cannot grant more access than requested.
 Provider credentials and configured environment are prepared locally and never carried in execution
 control frames.
 
+## Optional TencentDB Agent Memory Bridge
+
+Execution protocol v1 can opt one local NowWork Agent into the private TencentDB Agent Memory Panel.
+This is an external context backend, not a replacement for NowWork messages, tasks, workspace memory,
+or server authorization. It is disabled unless every required variable is present:
+
+```text
+CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_URL=https://memory.example/path
+CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_INSTANCE_ID=default
+CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_USER_KEY=<load from a secret store>
+CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_USER_ID=<external user id>
+CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_TEAM_ID=<external team id>
+CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_AGENT_ID=<external agent id>
+CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_AGENT_HANDLE=<one local NowWork handle>
+CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_TIMEOUT_MS=3000
+CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_RECALL_LIMIT=8
+```
+
+The handle is mandatory: one external Agent must not silently aggregate multiple NowWork Agents. To
+enable another handle, create a separate external Agent and configure the daemon that runs that handle.
+Partial configuration fails startup. Removing all `CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_*` variables and restarting the
+daemon is the complete rollback.
+
+On macOS, keep the one-time key in Keychain and resolve it only into the daemon startup environment. For
+the private exploratory deployment, the dedicated records use account `nowwork` and these service names:
+
+```bash
+export CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_USER_KEY="$(security find-generic-password \
+  -a nowwork -s nowwork-agent-memory-default -w)"
+export CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_TEAM_ID="$(security find-generic-password \
+  -a nowwork -s nowwork-agent-memory-team-id -w)"
+export CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_AGENT_ID="$(security find-generic-password \
+  -a nowwork -s nowwork-agent-memory-agent-id -w)"
+```
+
+Do not place the key in a tracked `.env`, shell history, command argument, service description, or log.
+The daemon strips every `CREW_AGENT_MEMORY_*` variable from the spawned coding-runtime environment.
+
+Before launch, the bridge reads L3 core memory and recent L1 atomic memory. The Panel does not expose a
+semantic-search route, so v1 ranks L1 locally by overlap with the parsed incoming message. Recalled text
+is byte-capped and marked as untrusted context that cannot override the current request or system policy.
+Timeouts, network errors, invalid responses, and empty memory all fail open without changing execution.
+
+After a successful run, the bridge may import exactly two messages: the parsed current incoming message
+and the runtime's final text. It does not upload system prompts, thread/channel history, reasoning, tool
+calls, console output, files, attachments, or environment variables. If either message resembles a
+credential, authorization header, private key, authenticated database URL, session cookie, or token, the
+whole pair is discarded. Failed, cancelled, timed-out, scheduled, legacy protocol-0, unrecognized-prompt,
+and unmatched-handle runs are not captured.
+
+See `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-08-agent-memory-integration-design.md` for the verified upstream API,
+failure matrix, rollout limits, and the server-native follow-up design.

 ## Code Map
 
 - `src/serve.ts`: connection, negotiation, routing, sync, and legacy boundary.
 - `src/execution-runner.ts`: spec admission and lifecycle reporting.
+- `src/shared-execution-slots.ts` and `src/runtime-startup-gate.ts`: machine concurrency and startup FIFO.
 - `src/local-executor.ts` and `src/execution-supervisor.ts`: runtime process boundary.
 - `src/execution-journal.ts`: crash-safe local execution facts.
 - `src/runner.ts`: protocol-0 compatibility runner.
