…te (P3) Substrate-honest residual from this session's audit-first-then-decide discipline. Tick 2031Z audit run surfaced 100 long entries in memory/MEMORY.md (target ≤200 chars per CLAUDE.md convention). Same catch-once-then-lint pattern as B-0535: detection logic exists in audit-memory-index-entry-lengths.ts (detect-only, exits 0); CI wiring is the gap. Two-slice plan: - Slice A: tighten 100 entries to ≤200 chars (per-entry content judgment; ~50 min focused work; can be batched per-section) - Slice B: --enforce-long-entries flag + lint-memory-index-entry-lengths gate.yml job (after baseline = 0) ID allocation: B-0537 verified free (B-0531-B-0536 all taken/in-flight). Composes with: B-0535 (sibling cleanup+gate pattern), B-0536 (sibling substrate-honest residual capture), CLAUDE.md MEMORY.md convention.

Pull request overview
Adds a new P3 backlog row file B-0537 capturing the work to clean up memory/MEMORY.md index entries that exceed the one-line length target and to wire the existing detect-only audit into the CI gate. Follows the catch-once-then-lint pattern established in sibling rows B-0535/B-0536.
Changes:
- New backlog row file under
docs/backlog/P3/with frontmatter (id B-0537, P3, M effort, composes_with B-0535 and B-0536). - Two-slice plan: Slice A tightens ~100 long entries to ≤200 chars; Slice B adds an enforce flag plus a
gate.ymljob. - Scope explicitly excludes user-scope
MEMORY.mdand per-topic-file content quality.

…p + CI gate (#3581) - PR #3574 + #3579 wait-CI - PR #3580 — B-0537 backlog row filed (P3, 2-slice plan) - Audit-driven session phase compounds: B-0536 + B-0537 = 2 substrate-honest residuals captured - Pattern stable: audit-detect → row-file → cleanup → gate-wire - 22-tick session arc Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Quote was attributed to CLAUDE.md but lives in the auto-memory system prompt; re-attribute accordingly (Copilot thread 1) - Canonical standard is 150 chars (project_memory_format_standard.md), not 200; update Slice A target and Slice B wiring to --max 150 - Slice B plan referenced --enforce-long-entries (doesn't exist); the tool already has --enforce (exits code 2); update plan to match (Copilot thread 2) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Files B-0537 — `memory/MEMORY.md` has 100 long entries (>200 chars target per CLAUDE.md convention). Detection exists in `audit-memory-index-entry-lengths.ts` (detect-only); CI gate missing.
Same pattern as B-0535: detect logic in place, wiring is the gap. Two-slice plan: cleanup (100 → 0) + gate.
