-Memory reads `GET /api/storage/shared/memory/graph.json` and the individual note files under `shared/memory/`. The visible app is a read-only viewer; its scheduled job defaults to 05:30 and can be rescheduled from Memory's Maintenance settings. The job uses Möbius's Background agents order, initializes the graph when needed, consolidates chat notes, rebuilds `graph.json`, and appends a compact maintenance record under `shared/memory/update-log/`.
+Memory reads `.ready` from shared storage, then reads `graph.json` and individual notes from that exact Git commit through Möbius's confined shared-Git endpoint. The visible app is a read-only viewer; its scheduled job defaults to 05:30 and can be rescheduled from Memory's Maintenance settings. The job tries Möbius's configured Background agents in order, with confined text-only Claude and Codex adapters, consolidates chat notes, rebuilds `graph.json`, commits changed files, and appends a compact maintenance record under `shared/memory/app-state/update-log/`. Unchanged runs do not create commits. The latest operational outcome is written atomically to `app-state/run-status.json`, with append-only history under `app-state/run-log/`; a run with no usable provider is reported as degraded and does not publish.
 
-Installing Memory also contributes a small system-prompt fragment and graph skill. The fragment activates an app-local, prompt-scoped reader: the chat agent states what prior context it needs, a read-only background agent traverses the graph, and the result comes back with verified markdown file pointers. The graph is never injected wholesale. Uninstalling Memory removes its prompt, skill, and schedule for subsequent turns while preserving the owner's shared graph data for recovery/reinstall. The deterministic graph indexer and immutable-generation publisher are app-owned.
+On upgrade from the retired generation-directory format, Memory imports every safe legacy generation as a Git commit, puts the formerly published generation at the branch tip, and atomically switches `.ready`. The legacy directory is retained as an explicit migration recovery source; normal maintenance no longer creates generation copies, and cleanup is never implicit in migration.
+
+The repository is `shared/memory/repository`. Standard Git history is available for inspection. To roll the published graph back without rewriting history, run `python3 memory_store.py rollback <commit>` from the installed Memory source; this creates a new commit with the selected historical tree and atomically advances `.ready`. Consolidation also refuses to demote a surviving, specifically filed node into the generated Unfiled fallback.

 That split keeps the responsibility clear: Memory reads, writes, and consolidates its graph without depending on another app.
