What's happening: After memory consolidation completed at 9:27 PM, the legacy MEMORY.md file persists in the filesystem despite the system now operating fully in SQLite. This creates confusion during manual debugging and risks accidental data corruption if users interact with the outdated file.

Expected behavior: The consolidation process should automatically delete MEMORY.md upon successful migration to the SQLite backend to maintain a clean, single-source-of-truth state.

Suggested fix: Modify the consolidation script (e.g., memory/consolidate.py) to add os.remove('MEMORY.md') after verifying SQLite data integrity. Update the consolidation completion log to explicitly state: "Legacy MEMORY.md removed. Memory now fully managed by SQLite."

Acceptance criteria: After running consolidation, MEMORY.md no longer exists in the filesystem, and all memory operations (memory_read, memory_write) function exclusively via SQLite without fallback behavior.

[loop-cycle-38] MEMORY.md does not exist in the repo. The consolidation already happened and the file was removed. Closing as already-resolved.
