Known: Auto-saved memory is raw scrollback (not summarized) #4

Description

What

When a session ends, the command center captures the last 80 lines of terminal output and appends them verbatim to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md. This is honest and complete, but it's raw — not a summary.

Why it works this way

Real summarization would require either:

  1. Calling the Claude API again (costs tokens)
  2. Spawning a one-shot Claude process to summarize (slow)

For now we ship the raw version because it's reliable and free.

Workaround

Curate your MEMORY.md (the long-term root memory) by hand at the end of important sessions. The memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md files are the firehose; MEMORY.md is the curated long-term store.

Long-term fix

Add an opt-in 'AI summarize on close' that uses a quick Claude call to compress the scrollback into a structured session entry.
