Resolve config: read the basicMemory block with the same precedence the hooks use — user-level ~/.claude/settings.json as the base, then the project's .claude/settings.json and .claude/settings.local.json override it per key:

• captureFolder, default sessions
• placementConventions, optional
• sessionProfile, default general
• repository, required when sessionProfile is coding
