 `amem setup jcode` registers MCP only, using Jcode v0.99.1's global `JCODE_HOME/mcp.json` (default `~/.jcode/mcp.json`). An explicitly set `JCODE_HOME` must be absolute for amem setup: empty, relative and literal `~` values are refused. Unset uses the default, and absolute values retain their literal spelling without trimming. It owns only `servers.amem`, sets `shared: false` for a workspace-bound session, and preserves unrelated configuration bytes. Jcode has no native MCP add/remove command in this release, so setup edits the owned entry directly. No Jcode ingest command or capture hook is installed: saved messages lack per-message origin while the session cwd can change. Launch Jcode with `JCODE_DISABLE_CLAUDE_MCP=1` and without a same-name project override, which could otherwise replace the private binding. Use a new workspace-bound session when changing projects. See the [Jcode contract and capture limitation](docs/jcode.md).
 
+`amem setup gemini` registers MCP only, at user scope in Gemini CLI 0.61.0's `~/.gemini/settings.json` (`GEMINI_CLI_HOME`, which must be absolute, moves it). It runs the native `gemini mcp add --scope user` (and `remove` for an earlier entry) in a private staging `HOME`, owns only `mcpServers.amem` and keeps every unrelated setting. Antigravity's `~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json` is a different client's file and is never read or written; `amem setup agy` stays per repository. A workspace `.gemini/settings.json` that defines `mcpServers.amem` overrides the user entry. Setup refuses settings that are not strict JSON (Gemini allows comments, but setup's exact undo needs strict JSON) and runtime paths containing `$`, which Gemini expands. No hook, ingest command or `GEMINI.md` edit: see [the Gemini CLI contract](docs/gemini-cli.md) for why transcripts are not ingested. `setup all` includes Gemini CLI when it is installed.
+
+`amem setup opencode` registers MCP only in OpenCode 1.18.35's global `opencode.json` (default `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json`; an absolute `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` moves it and is used literally, untrimmed, as OpenCode does; a relative value is refused). It owns only `mcp.amem`, a `type: "local"` server with no `cwd`, so OpenCode starts it in each session's project directory, and it preserves unrelated configuration bytes. OpenCode's `mcp add` is interactive and has no remove, so setup edits the owned entry directly. Setup refuses strict-JSON violations (JSONC), a sibling `opencode.jsonc` or `config.json` in the same directory (OpenCode merges them over this file) and `OPENCODE_CONFIG`, `OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR` or `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT`. A project `opencode.json` that defines `mcp.amem` overrides the global entry. No plugin, hook or ingest command is installed: see [the OpenCode contract](docs/opencode.md) for why its session database is not ingested. `setup all` includes OpenCode when its CLI is installed.

 `amem setup qwen` previews a user-scope MCP registration and a bounded SessionEnd ingest hook in the same `QWEN_HOME/settings.json` (default `~/.qwen/settings.json`). `--apply` and `--undo` follow the same confirmed, private-receipt contract as the other targets. Unrelated settings, servers and hooks are preserved. Qwen runs this hook on normal interactive exit; use `amem ingest qwen` when the session ends without that hook. Native-client operation is source-verified; the installed-package tests use stub registration CLIs.

Use `--json` where the command supports it. `dedupe` previews candidates; `dedupe --apply` appends reconciliation operations. `amem alias add|list` manages reviewed project key aliases; `amem capacity` reports and proposes capture bounds (see below).
 
+`amem import codex` reads Codex's Markdown memory as review candidates. It supports both on-disk layouts: memories v1 under `$CODEX_HOME/memories` (else `~/.codex/memories`) and memories v2, the default for fresh profiles since Codex 0.165.0, under the sibling `memories_v2/` (`memory_summary.md`, `rollout_summaries/`, `extensions/`; v2 titles start with `memories_v2/`). The v2 SQLite state is never read. With `--from` only the given directory is read. When neither layout exists, the receipt names the locations it checked.

 Agent markers are honest-session identity context, not authentication. Marked `amem note add` writes use the existing peer field for attribution; its memory reads use the screened policy and historical reads are refused. Unmarked reads retain their existing unscreened behavior. `amem mcp` remains scoped to its startup project and can write only candidate and work-list data; hooks and ingest append capture only. Curated candidate acceptance and other CLI writes use the current configured policy. The CLI no longer has a general agent-marker refusal or stdin-TTY gate; use each command's explicit preview and `--confirm`/`--apply` flow where provided. `amem review walk` stays interactive and requires terminal input and output; `$EDITOR` opens only when a terminal is available.

 `--policy-free` is still accepted by `promote`, `import`, `sync` and `review accept` so existing scripts keep working, and it means nothing more: the configured policy always applies. It does not bypass the secret screen or the sync remote's privacy checks. Forgetting a shared note appends an operation; its previous content remains in the remote's git history.
 
+If the screen misses a secret or personal data, `amem forget <id>` hides the entry from every reader but does not remove its bytes. [docs/purge.md](docs/purge.md) is the procedure for rotating the secret, removing local copies, cleaning machine-local tiers and replacing the sync remote; `amem forget` lists nearby capture rows, candidates and work items by id, and `amem doctor` reports forget and prune counts as a reminder.

 ## Writing notes and reviewing candidates
 
 `amem note add [--kind decision|finding|contract|fail] [--tier short|long] [--scope project|shared] [--title T] [text... | -]` writes one curated note with CLI peer attribution (agent-mem#40 F6). The text is the arguments, `-` to read stdin through end of input, or nothing to open `$VISUAL` (an empty one is skipped) or `$EDITOR` on a private temporary file when a terminal is available (the command is run without a shell: an existing path with spaces works as is, otherwise quotes and backslashes split it, and Ctrl-C reaches the editor while it runs). A `fail` note takes its five fields instead of free text: `--approach`, `--symptom`, `--cause`, `--evidence` (repeatable) and `--retry-when`. All five are required, and the command names the ones that are missing; with none given it opens a labelled template in the editor. The configured policy screens the title and text before anything is written, and a refusal never echoes them.

CLI actions derive actor and peer from the session and screen both the candidate and proposed note with the configured policy (`--policy-free` is still accepted and ignored). `amem mcp` remains proposal-only. The CLI refuses secret-looking candidate input or proposed note content. Plain listing does not open the ordinary memory index; JSON listing reads an existing curated store for overlap hints without initializing an absent one. Acceptance defers unrelated held-note promotions.
+
+Pending candidates include up to three overlapping current notes from the same project as a review hint. `amem review list --json` adds `overlaps` with each note's id, title and score; `amem review walk` prints one line per overlap before its prompt. `amem_remember` adds an `overlaps` array of note ids to its candidate receipt. Hints reuse consolidation's deterministic word-overlap measure, with identical text scoring 1, and never merge, reject or block a candidate. Superseded, expired, forgotten, other-project and policy-refused notes are excluded before selection, with no excluded count or id returned. Hints are computed on demand, are not stored with the candidate, and make no model call.
+
+JSON listing screens and tokenizes each current project note once for the whole candidate batch, retaining only three matches per candidate. The score divides shared terms by the smaller term set: a one- or two-term candidate can therefore score 1 against a longer note containing those terms. A score is an overlap hint, not a verdict that the notes are equivalent.
 
 Candidates live in `candidates.db` beside the memory logs. This sidecar is machine-local: it is never synced, imported, or read by recall, briefs, ask or graph evidence. Hosts must supply an explicit public privacy verdict before putting candidates or counters; private, PII and unknown verdicts are refused. Library APIs are available, but this phase adds no automatic candidate producer or telemetry consumer. Candidate retention is 500 per project and 30 days; counters retain 10,000 per project and 90 days. Candidate payloads are capped at 16 KiB.

 Successful native project identities have a private, bounded derived cache (128 cwd entries, 4 KiB each). A hit must match the current project scope, stricter Git-validity metadata and executable revision; a miss still uses the shared hardened Git resolver. It stores no capture or context, and does not guess an identity when Git fails. The hook uses the selected developer Git directly only when PATH selects Apple's root-owned shim; custom PATH binaries remain selected. Cache ceilings and invalidation are in [the P3 contracts](docs/contracts.md#hook-project-identity-cache).
 
+SessionStart honors Claude Code's `source` field. On `resume` the earlier brief is already in the restored transcript, so the hook emits only the untrusted-data header line, plus the capture-drop notice when there is one, and no brief body. `startup`, `clear` and `compact` (compaction removed the earlier brief), as well as a missing or unknown `source`, keep the full brief. `source` is read, never stored. Only the native SessionStart hook follows this rule; `sessionStartBrief()`, `amem brief`, MCP tools and other clients are unchanged.
+
+Hook capture rows carry two optional fields: `session`, a 16-hex hash of Claude Code's `session_id` (never the raw id or transcript path), and `subagent: true` when the event fired inside a subagent (its payload carries `agent_id`). The SessionStart brief and `sessionStartBrief()` leave subagent rows out; search, timeline and show keep them and show the `subagent` field. Older rows read unchanged. Field sources and the mixed-version rule are in [the contracts](docs/contracts.md#session-and-subagent-attribution-in-capture-173).
+
 ## Doctor and the sync cadence
 
 `amem doctor`, `amem status` and `amem setup` print a readable report: an overall state, one labelled row per check (`OK`, `ATTENTION`, `SKIPPED`, `UNAVAILABLE`) and the next actions. Color appears only on an interactive terminal and is turned off by `NO_COLOR` or `TERM=dumb`. Add `--json` for the machine-readable object (for `status` and `setup` this was the default before #125). Setup also shows each available native client's version against its recorded layout verification version; the advisory probe uses a private staging home, reports unknown or unrecognised versions without blocking apply, and is skipped for Antigravity and undo.
