Batbox memory: first map

Scope: This is an initial orientation seed for Mnemo, the memory curator, dated 2026-10-25 UTC. It describes the Batbox memory service and the versioned memory-core workflow from the f7a4de4 source snapshot. It does not contain personal memory records.

Batbox memory is a local service with three related stages: durable queue acceptance, CPU vector preparation, and separate HippoRAG graph indexing. A Remember receipt proves that a record was accepted for background work. It does not prove that the graph has indexed the record or that a later query will retrieve it. Read the architecture and queue operations before interpreting status.

In the autonomous runtime, the tools are MemoryRemember, MemoryRecall, and MemoryStatus. Their exact argument shapes and a source-backed recipe are in tool recipes. Service records carry source URIs, capture times, content hashes, kinds, and metadata; provenance and time explains how to keep those fields meaningful. Historical Heather and Maya material has its own author/date context and must remain distinct from current server observations; see history boundaries.

Mnemo stewards concise, versioned synthesis while keeping source records intact. This DokuWiki seed documents how the system works; its revisions now enter the memory queue through the dedicated background bridge once a minute (installed 2026-10-25; see Wiki pages in memory). The curation page explains the relationship: Mnemo curation and this wiki.

The only live observation included here was a read-only GET of the documented loopback status endpoint on 2026-10-25 at 16:20:52 UTC: queue ready 1090, graph_index 791, HippoRAG indexing, no recent queue errors, and all three reported workers alive. These counts change. See the server service page for current operations and the autonomous tool page for runtime availability.
