Created comprehensive plan for keeping Forgetful in sync with Serena
canonical source. Addresses gap identified in M-009 completion where
no mechanism exists to prevent drift between memory systems.

Strategy: Hybrid approach
- Primary: Git hook sync (pre-commit)
- Fallback: Manual sync command
- Validation: Freshness check script

Key Components:
- Sync-MemoryToForgetful.ps1: Per-memory sync (create/update/delete)
- Sync-SerenaToForgetful.ps1: Manual full/incremental sync
- Test-MemoryFreshness.ps1: Drift detection and reporting

Design Decisions:
- Serena remains canonical (ADR-037 compliant)
- Forgetful deletes marked obsolete (not hard deleted)
- SHA-256 content hashing for deduplication
- Graceful degradation if Forgetful unavailable
- Hook overhead target: <500ms for 10 memories

Implementation Plan:
- M1: Core sync scripts (Week 1)
- M2: Git hook integration (Week 2)
- M3: Manual sync command (Week 2)
- M4: Freshness validation (Week 3)
- M5: ADR-037 update (Week 3)

Analyzed synchronization strategy section (lines 286-437) in ADR-037 for
evidence and feasibility. Key findings:

Performance Targets:
- SHA-256 hashing verified: 0.03ms per memory (not a bottleneck)
- Parallel processing measured: 12,000x slower than sequential
- Forgetful API latency UNKNOWN (critical gap for <5s target)
- Network overhead UNKNOWN (needed for <500ms hook target)

Feasibility:
- Technical: HIGH (all APIs exist, patterns proven)
- Performance: MEDIUM (targets reasonable but unvalidated)
- Timeline: MEDIUM (3 weeks aggressive, needs 1 week buffer)

Verdict: NEEDS-REVISION
- Add performance target caveats (to be validated in Milestone 1)
- Measure Forgetful API latency before finalizing targets
- Add 1 week buffer to timeline (4 weeks total)

All hard dependencies verified (Forgetful mark-obsolete, SHA-256, hooks).
No blockers identified. Sequential batch processing confirmed optimal.

Memory-first architecture implements Chesterton's Fence:
- Added "Memory-First as Chesterton's Fence" section to memory skill
- Documents memory search as investigation mechanism
- Maps change types to required memory queries
- Establishes BLOCKING gate for memory search before changes
- References comprehensive analysis in .agents/analysis/

Key insight: Memory search IS the investigation tool Chesterton's
Fence requires. Memory contains git archaeology (ADRs, incident
reports, past attempts, failure episodes, success patterns).

- 8 P0 issues identified (schema mapping, hook type, recursion guard, etc.)
- 7 P1 issues (error handling, orphan cleanup, timeline buffer)
- 4 NEEDS-REVISION votes, 2 ACCEPT votes

Research on unit testing philosophy and coverage pragmatism:
- Dan North: Evidence-based testing (stakeholder confidence through evidence)
- Rico Mariani: 100% coverage as "ante" (baseline, not end goal)
- Industry consensus: 80% sweet spot (Google: 60%/75%/90% guidelines)

Key findings:
- ai-agents is HIGH-SECURITY environment (prompt injection, secret disclosure, ability abuse)
- Open source exposure makes attack surface fully visible
- Most code is security-critical (GitHub creds, file system access, untrusted prompts)

Revised coverage targets:
- Security-critical (100%): Secret handling, input validation, command execution, path sanitization, auth checks
- Business logic (80%): Text parsing, workflow orchestration, non-sensitive utilities
- Read-only/docs (60-70%): Documentation generation, low attack surface

Synthesis reconciles opposing views:
- Rico's 100% minimum applies to high-security systems with sanitizers (Messenger, Edge)
- Industry 80% applies to typical software without adversarial context
- ai-agents aligns with Rico's context due to attack vectors

- Analysis document: .agents/analysis/testing-coverage-philosophy.md (4000 words)

- Import: Processes all `.json` files in `.claude-mem/memories/`
- Security: 6 pattern categories (API keys, passwords, file paths, etc.)
- Both scripts call plugin at `~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/thedotmack/scripts/`

### Directory Structure

## Testing
- Import: ✅ Successfully imported 1 test file
- Export: ✅ Created 194KB export (74 observations)
- Security: ✅ Detected file path patterns correctly

## Rationale
- ADR-005 compliance (PowerShell-only)
- Consistent UX with other project scripts
- Named parameters clearer than positional args
- Security review integration at script level
