-Memory is pasted into each new chat's prompt once, when the chat starts, and is **fixed for the life of that chat** — rewriting the prompt mid-chat would throw away dsh's cached prompt prefix.

 If dsh runs in `danger-full-access` mode its approval policy is `never`, which **rejects** every approval request without prompting — so recall is refused there. Set `askBeforeRecall: false` if you want recall without asking in that mode.

 The budgets are small on purpose — **2,200 characters of notes and 1,375 of profile**, Hermes's defaults, together roughly 900 tokens — because they are paid in every chat. When a store is full, a save that would overflow it is refused whole, never cut; the model is shown the entries and consolidates in one batch that merges or drops stale entries and adds the new one, checked against the final size. Raise the budgets with `limits` (below) if you would rather pay more per chat.

-- **Host side** (`src/index.js`): registers the `memory` and `session_search` tools, adds the memory section to each new top-level chat's system prompt on `agent/session-start`, and serves the panel's routes under `/plugin-data/dsh-memory-recall/`. Recall goes through dsh's `sessionQuery` service and its `approval` service; nothing talks to the network.
-- **Client side** (`lib/client.js`, plain JavaScript, no build step): the in-chat chip and recall card replace dsh's own rows for those two tools through the `tool.call.toolview` slot; the panel mounts into `sidebar.footer.action`; the `@` rows are an `inputTriggers` source.
