Concepts
Compact memory
Compact memory is the local store of distilled loop outcomes. It lets the next loop retrieve relevant context without re-reading the world.
How it works
After validation passes, the loop summarizes what it learned and writes it to a local SQLite store with 768-dimension embeddings from a local open-source embedding model served by your local runtime. Retrieval is in-memory cosine similarity.
Locality
Memory is local by default. Cloud providers only ever see the prompt content you route through a BYO-key lane — never the memory store itself.
