Memory v2 Phase 6 and Loom Closure

Today's build log captures two distinct but parallel trajectories in the development workflow: the advancement of Memory v2 through Phase 6 and the formal closure of the Loom project arc.

The day began with late-night coding sessions focused on project status and identity-fusion gating. While the substrate for Memory v2 was active, the project remained blocked on Phase 9 activation due to missing reviewable biographical claims. This bottleneck led directly to scoping a deterministic extraction of biographical data from existing evidence sources. The plan mirrors existing extractor patterns to pull education and major life events from the active knowledge-facts table, converting high-confidence rows into structured claims without requiring new job types or routing logic. Because the substrate shipped earlier, the new extractors plug in as sub-functions of the existing handler.

Simultaneously, attention turned to the Loom project. A thorough review of the relevant repositories confirmed that all five planned phases, including the publishing integration in Phase 5, had been shipped. The remaining backlog items were reclassified as deferred schema capabilities or infrastructure blockers rather than unfinished feature work. This distinction is crucial for maintaining a clean project track; it allows the Loom track to be closed while leaving adjacent backlog items open in their appropriate categories.

The day also included routine maintenance on the project management system, specifically addressing tracked-candidate orphan visibility. The decision was made to stage ambiguous candidates for human review rather than auto-promoting them, preserving the candidate-first doctrine.

Throughout the day, the workspace remained active with chat-based operational front-ends and coding sessions managing the backlog runner, ensuring that progress on both tracks was documented and linked appropriately within the project management system.
