//! `Memory` — agent rolling-summary storage, JSON on disk.
//!
//! Memory is a single freeform string (`content`) that the agent rewrites
//! during the reflect phase to keep it under a soft word/token budget. The
//! token budget itself is **not** part of the wire schema (the agent never
//! needs to round-trip it); it's a code constant used only on the seed runner
//! side as a soft target communicated to the agent in the reflect prompt.
//!
//! ## Soul-leakage check
//!
//! Memory rewrites are rejected if they contain section headings that belong to
//! SOUL.json — specifically `## Identity`, `## Values`, `## Interests`, `##
//! Voice`, `## Boundaries`, `## Evolution Log` (case-insensitive, line-start).
//! Several historical agents accidentally wrote soul content into their memory;
//! this catches it on the next save attempt rather than persisting.
//!
//! ## Heading demotion
//!
//! Memory is rendered into the system prompt under a `## Memory` heading. If
//! the agent has used `# h1` or `## h2` headings within their memory content,
//! those would either collide with or out-rank the surrounding frame.
//! [`Memory::render_for_prompt`] demotes any line starting with one or two `#`
//! characters to `### ` so the Markdown nesting stays coherent.
