Memory

Layer	What it holds	Where
L1	Per-task context: relevant files and git activity, token-budgeted	In memory
L2	Project memory: AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .sparse/memory.md	Your repo
L3	The conversation session	SQLite, kept for 6 hours
L4	Structured handoff between agents	Per workflow
L5	Learned runs, route stats, failure patterns, overrides and the run journal	.sparse/memory.db

L5 is what makes routing improve on your repo over time.
