The July 29 filesystem-memory paper found that changing the tool set alone reshapes the resulting memory store as strongly as swapping the model, and that organization erodes over time for every management agent except the strongest. Organized stores roughly halve retrieval cost, but no agent measured converted better organization into better answers. If your markdown memory directory is decaying, that's a tools problem.
