description: Goal - automate the memory lint/consolidation (/memory-dream) once the additive proposals prove trustworthy; phased rollout

Mike wants the memory consolidation/lint process automated eventually (stated 2026-06-01). Phased so we never auto-wipe useful data:

1. **Now:** `/memory-dream` runs report-only by default; `--apply-safe` does additive-only fixes (append missing index lines, migrate profile-only memories in). Merges/dedups/deletions are PROPOSED only, human-approved. Build trust in the proposals first.
2. **Next - automate the read-only half:** the lint pass + additive `--apply-safe` are non-destructive, so safe to run unattended via a hook (e.g. Stop/SessionStart runs the lint and, on findings, drops a coord todo - NOT a cron/remote scheduler, per [[feedback_scheduling_via_coord_todo]]).
3. **Later - automate consolidation with guardrails:** auto-apply only high-confidence merges; low-confidence stays a proposal; deletion stays gated regardless. Earn the automation.

Engine already exists: skill `.claude/skills/memory-dream/` (+ `scripts/memory_dream.py`). Cross-machine sync of the repo memory store is handled by `.claude/scripts/sync-memory.sh` (additive union repo<->harness-profile, SessionStart hook). See also [[feedback_memory_repo_not_profile]] if/when written re: the two-store model (repo `.claude/memory/` syncs via Gitea; harness `~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/` is machine-local and auto-injected).
