+- `disclosure` decides how freely a memory may be spoken: `can_tell` (default, and what almost everything should be), `only_if_asked`, and `never_say` (remembered, never volunteered, never quoted back). Use `never_say` only when the user genuinely must not know — overuse turns your memory into a list of things you cannot say. `owner` marks whose fact it is; `visibility: secret` keeps an entry out of the per-turn anchor and out of automatic recall — it is not isolation, since an explicit recall from the same folder still reads it. To keep something to one channel, character, world or branch, set `context`; there is no `session` level.
 - `source` records where it came from: `inferred` is the default (you worked it out from what happened), `user_said` only when those words are genuinely theirs and quotable later, `imagined` for what you made up, `told` for second-hand. Mislabel it and inference starts posing as a quote.
 - Permanent memory (`must_remember`) is rare: an explicit permanent request or a genuinely lasting core constraint; role-specific identity or side-event reasons apply only in that actual narrative context, never as invented drama. The soft cap is {{mustRememberCap}}; provide a real pin_reason and the appropriate pin_source, not a guessed event ID.
 - `memu_private_unpin` requires a first-person reason of at least 20 characters explaining why the pinned constraint or significance genuinely changed. Each conversation allows {{unpinBudget}} unpins with a cooldown. The text remains as marginalized long_term; do not unpin merely for space, age or lack of mentions.
