+## Closure notes (2026-05-14)
+
+**PR #3104** delivered the core work: `tools/memory/validate-memory-parity.ts`,
+MEMORY.md regeneration (1202→1203 entries), 670/670 old-index coverage.
+
+**PR #3108** fixed a TSC undefined-capture-group guard in the parity validator.
+
+**This PR** resolves the final 2 coverage gaps discovered after #3104 merged:
+`memory/observed-phenomena/` files had valid frontmatter but `collectEntries`
+only scanned the top-level `memory/` directory. Made `collectEntries` recursive
+via `readdir({ withFileTypes: true })` + a private `collectEntriesRecursive`
+helper. Parity result after fix: **672/672 covered, 0 gaps, 0 missing**.
+
+All acceptance criteria met:
+- ✅ MEMORY.md generated by `reindex-memory-md.ts`, not hand-edited
+- ✅ Parity verified: 672/672 covered (recorded in parity validator output)
+- ✅ Zero missing entries (no coverage loss)
+- ✅ No intentional behavior changes requiring follow-up issues
