+Memory root: memory://root
+Operational rules:
+1) You MUST read `memory://root/memory_summary.md` first.
+2) If needed, you SHOULD inspect `memory://root/MEMORY.md` and `memory://root/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`.
+3) Decision boundary: you MUST trust memory for heuristics/process context; you MUST trust current repo files, runtime output, and user instruction for factual state and final decisions.
+4) Citation policy: when memory changes your plan, you MUST cite the memory artifact path you used (for example `memory://root/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`) and pair it with current-repo evidence before acting.
+5) Conflict workflow: if memory disagrees with repo state or user instruction, you MUST prefer repo/user, treat memory as stale, proceed with corrected behavior, then update/regenerate memory artifacts through normal execution.
+6) You MUST escalate confidence only after repository verification; memory alone MUST NOT be treated as sufficient proof.
