# Project Memory (oliphant)

> Every line below carries receipts, re-verified by `npx oliphant doctor`. Never trust a memory without receipts.

## model

- **decision** — memory records are claims backed by receipts: path, grep, command
  receipts: `/EVIDENCE_TYPES/` in `src/memory.js`

## design

- **decision** — dead memories keep failing CI until a human retires them
  receipts: `/until a human/` in `src/doctor.js`

## compile

- **fact** — compile output is idempotent: writeFileIfChanged compares full content
  receipts: `/writeFileIfChanged/` in `src/compile.js`

## deps

- **fact** — the whole tool has zero npm dependencies, node >= 18 only
  receipts: `package.json`

## mcp

- **gotcha** — MCP server is hand-rolled JSON-RPC over stdio in one file
  receipts: `src/mcp.js`
