When this fires

Two triggers, and only these:

1. An explicit persistence ask — "save this", "write this to the wiki", "update the wiki/memory", "log this finding", "structure this knowledge", "follow the karpathy method".
2. Durable judgement-shaped output — a decision record, the CAUSE behind a finding, a gap analysis, a non-obvious fact that cost real work to learn and would cost it again.

It does not fire on ordinary analytical work. Answering a factual question, summarising a file, explaining code, or reporting a routine task result produces nothing durable to compile. If the only thing you could write down is a restatement of what the repository or the transcript already says, skip it.
