LJM Memory (Cursor)

Follow the vault protocol in CURSOR.md / CLAUDE.md at the LJM vault root (JM_VAULT_ROOT). Hooks inject memory context; do not invent a parallel store.

Core rules

• Write observations to Buffer/ — never directly to Memory/ during conversation
• Cite loaded memories as Memory/... paths when they inform a response (adaptive-edge pilot)
• On <daydream-nudge>, launch a daydream volley via Task:
  • at least one topic-seeded memory-daydream (background)
  • at least one random-walk memory-daydream (background)
  • pass model from the nudge (Config daydream_cursor_model, default inherit). As of 2026-08-31, inherit still lands memory-daydream in Other Models; pin an explicit slug if that pool is depleted..

  • cwd = vault root

Host notes

Cursor delivers per-prompt association via postToolUse additional_context (because beforeSubmitPrompt cannot inject context). Session orientation arrives from sessionStart. Trust write-blocking uses preToolUse.
