+ * Memory v2 — One-shot v1→v2 migration.
+ *
+ * Gathers v1 graph nodes plus PKB markdown content, clusters them by topic,
+ * synthesizes a concept page per cluster via the configured LLM, promotes
+ * high-significance nodes to `essentials.md` / active follow-ups to
+ * `threads.md` / low-significance episodes to `archive/migrated-<date>.md`,
+ * collapses v1 weighted directional edges into the v2 unweighted-undirected
+ * `memory/edges.json`, and enqueues `embed_concept_page` jobs for each new
+ * page. A sentinel file at `memory/.v2-state/.migration-complete-v1-to-v2`
+ * gates re-runs — `force: true` is required to overwrite.
+ *
+ * The migration is structured as a sequence of small helpers — `gatherV1State`,
+ * `clusterByTopic`, `synthesizeConceptPage`, `derivePromotions`,
+ * `collapseEdges`, `enqueueEmbeds` — each individually testable so the live
+ * LLM never has to be invoked from the unit suite. `runMemoryV2Migration`
+ * threads them together and writes the sentinel on success.
