Persistent Memory System

Overview

Memory lives in .aiter/memory/ relative to the project root. Each file has a specific format and purpose. Files use Markdown with YAML frontmatter for metadata.

Core principle: Memory files are the single source of truth for agent state. All agents (orchestrator, heartbeat, support-responder, monitor) read and write to the same memory files. This enables cross-layer composability.
