Basic Memory setup

Run a short, adaptive interview (~2-3 minutes) and then write the configuration. Be conversational and skip questions whose answer is already obvious from context (e.g. if list_memory_projects shows a single local project and no cloud workspaces, don't ask about cloud/teams — just confirm). Suggest a sensible default for every question so the user can accept with one word. Don't do any writes until the interview is done and you've confirmed the plan.

Prerequisite check
