-## What problem does StrataGate solve?
+```bash
+dsh plugin --profile web add stratagate-dsh
+```
+
+Restart that profile, then keep using DSH normally. StrataGate will capture completed main-agent turns, build searchable memory in the background, and expose its Memory UI under **DSH Settings → StrataGate-AgentMemory**.
+
+By default, the database is stored at:
+
+```text
+DSH_HOME/stratagate/memory.db

+
+Removing the plugin does not delete the database. For screenshots, configuration, memory tools, and the exact automatic-capture rules, see the [DeepSeek Harness plugin guide](docs/DSH.md).

+## How it works
 
 ![StrataGate workflow: layered memory, event cards, and the evidence gate](docs/assets/stratagate-how-it-works.en.png)
 
-Conversations are sealed into layered memories at different levels of detail, then converted into immutable event cards that retain source and time information. Those events can feed either legacy Element views or the newer knowledge graph, depending on the integration. When a question arrives, StrataGate searches Events, graph facts, or the original layered history, then checks whether the retrieved evidence is sufficient. If it is not, the agent changes strategy, expands a result, or returns to the source messages.
+The normal path is deliberately simple:
+
+1. **Keep the source.** Completed messages and tool results are stored locally before anything is summarized.
+2. **Build smaller views.** StrataGate creates layered summaries, Events that describe what happened, and graph facts that describe the current state.
+3. **Search small records first.** The agent starts with compact results and expands an Event, graph node, or source Block only when it needs more detail.
+4. **Check before answering.** The evidence gate decides whether the result is sufficient. If not, the agent searches again or returns to the original messages.
+5. **Reinforce only what helped.** A memory gains long-term weight only after the final answer actually uses it.
+
+For example, if a user says “Use pnpm for this project,” StrataGate keeps the original turn, creates a traceable Event, and can later expose “the project uses pnpm” as compact context. If an answer depends on the exact wording or surrounding discussion, the agent can expand that Event back to the source instead of trusting the shortened version alone.

 ## Core design

 ### 1. Layered memory: compressed views without losing the source
 
 By default, every 12 complete conversation turns are sealed into one memory block. Messages that have not yet reached the boundary remain in the open tail and are not compressed or extracted early.
 
-This is the core-library default. The DeepSeek Harness plugin defaults to 6 turns per Block so Event extraction becomes available sooner, and exposes `blockTurnSize` as a user setting. Block age is the distance from the latest sealed Block in the same thread, so open-tail turns do not cause decay. The default Block-decay coefficient is `0.30`.

-New blocks start at L5. As more conversation follows, the default displayed level becomes progressively shallower; deeper detail can be expanded again when needed.
+At the boundary, StrataGate first seals permanent L5 together with deterministic L4 and L3, before any model call. The Block remains model-pending—and cannot replace native conversation history or participate in decay—until validated L0–L2 and Event processing complete. Ready Blocks then decay toward shallower levels as more ready Blocks follow; deeper detail can be expanded again when needed.

 Separating mention time from occurrence time prevents the system from treating a message timestamp as the event timestamp. It also gives the system enough information to resolve relative expressions such as “last week” and “next month.”
 
-Event extraction is delayed: after block `N` is sealed, precise extraction waits until block `N+1` exists. The extractor can read neighboring blocks as context, but every new fact and source reference must come from target block `N`.

-对话会按不同详细程度分层保存，并从中提取带有来源和时间的事件卡。根据接入方式，这些事件可以继续生成旧版元素视图，或组成新版知识图谱。收到问题后，StrataGate 会搜索事件、图谱事实或原始分层记录，再判断证据是否足够；如果不足，就更换搜索方式、展开结果或回查原始消息。
+正常的记忆过程可以分成五步：
+
+1. **先保存来源。** 任何摘要产生之前，已完成的消息和工具结果都会先保存在本地。
+2. **生成更小的视图。** StrataGate 会整理出分层摘要、记录“发生了什么”的事件，以及描述当前状态的图谱事实。
+3. **先搜索短记录。** Agent 从简短结果开始，只有需要更多细节时，才展开事件、图谱节点或原始 Block。
+4. **回答前检查证据。** 证据门判断现有结果是否充分；如果不够，Agent 必须继续搜索或返回原始消息。
+5. **只强化真正用过的记忆。** 只有最终答案确实采用的记忆，才会获得长期权重。
+
+例如，用户说“这个项目使用 pnpm”。StrataGate 会保留原始对话，建立一条可以追溯来源的事件，并在以后的对话中用“项目使用 pnpm”这条简短信息提供背景。如果答案依赖原话或当时的讨论，Agent 可以从事件返回原始消息，而不是只相信缩短后的内容。[查看一条完整的检索示例](#一次真实的检索)。
