Context

The memory system spans multiple files, plugins, cron jobs, and data stores. A new developer (or future Timmy session) needs to understand the full picture.

Task

  1. Document the four tiers: purpose, store, injection method, lifecycle
  2. Document data flows: what writes where, what reads where
  3. Document how to add facts, how prefetch works, how operational data flows
  4. Document hygiene procedures (contradiction detection, pruning, trust calibration)
  5. Add architectural diagram
  6. Add to AGENTS.md or as standalone ~/.hermes/docs/memory-architecture.md

Acceptance Criteria

  • New developer can understand memory architecture from docs alone
  • All four tiers documented with examples
  • Data flow diagram included
  • Hygiene procedures documented
  • Linked from AGENTS.md
