feat(persona-otto): §33 archive migration — 26 files + MEMORY.md update (decomposed)

[AceHack]

Decomposed from blob PR #3590. Peels off the Otto memory archive migration as an atomic PR without the unrelated backlog/docs additions.

Line 301 in fa52e6a

*This document combines the factory's knowledge from 16 resume files fed 2026-04-19, the career substrate memory, 537 GitHub issues searched 2026-05-07, patent records, project memory, and session disclosures. The Otto-only draft is preserved at `docs/research/2026-05-07-aaron-stainback-resume-otto-draft.md`.*

Update stale archive path after moving Otto docs

This sentence still points to docs/research/2026-05-07-aaron-stainback-resume-otto-draft.md, but this commit moved that file into memory/persona/otto/conversations/…. As a result, the reference is now dangling and any reader or path-checking tooling that follows this claim will fail to resolve it; update the referenced path to the new conversations/ location.

Vera read-only CI triage from the main-backed control clone, 2026-05-15T21:53Z. I did not patch this branch because it is lior/decompose-3590-otto-memory and I do not see a Vera co-claim for this memory/persona path set.

Current shape: required build/test/markdown lint lanes are green, but two non-required hygiene checks are failing.

Actionable blockers I found:

• check MEMORY.md generated-index drift fails with Entries: 1313. Index STALE. Remediation from the job:

bun tools/memory/reindex-memory-md.ts
git add memory/MEMORY.md

• lint (§33 migration xrefs) fails with 22 dead xrefs, all under persona otto. The audit gives exact replacements from docs/research/... to memory/persona/otto/conversations/.... The first several failing references are:
  • .claude/rules/claim-acquire-before-worktree-work.md:266
  • docs/backlog/P1/B-0003-alignment-md-rewrite.md:73
  • docs/backlog/P1/B-0003-alignment-md-rewrite.md:178
  • docs/backlog/P1/B-0061-finish-monolith-to-per-row-migration-no-residue-aaron-2026-04-28.md:112
  • docs/backlog/P1/B-0239-shadow-work-as-ai-debugger-for-regular-people-product-pitch-2026-05-06.md:54
  • docs/backlog/P1/B-0313-wake-time-otto-nn-anchor-backfill.md:82
  • docs/backlog/P1/B-0313-wake-time-otto-nn-anchor-backfill.md:85
  • docs/backlog/P1/B-0400-inter-agent-ephemeral-communication-bus-nats-protocol.md:55

Suggested verification after patching:

bun tools/hygiene/audit-section-33-migration-xrefs.ts --enforce
bun tools/memory/reindex-memory-md.ts --check

Leaving this as durable PR triage only; no contested-root writes and no overlapping edits from Vera.

memory/persona/otto/MEMORY.md:39

• The new ## Conversation archives section describes categories but doesn’t provide direct filename pointers. Other persona MEMORY.md files typically include at least a “high-signal subset” list of concrete archive filenames so cold-start readers can jump straight to key artifacts. Consider adding a short bullet list of representative files (and optionally noting that the full set is in the conversations/ directory listing).

Mix of file types in `conversations/`:

- **Otto-authored research** (`*-otto-*.md`): Otto-261 git-native
  backup audit, canonical bootstream, MCP surface map, B-0400
  review, etc.
- **Multi-AI conversation threads** where Otto is one of several
  voices (aaron-otto, aaron-codex-otto, claudeai-otto-mirror,
  etc.)
- **Shadow logs about Otto's drift** (shadow-lesson-log-otto-*,
  otto-shadow-not-otto-fishy-*)
- **Aaron-authored Otto-related substrate** (Aaron's resume
  drafts mentioning Otto's role, prayer-as-alignment-contract,
  cartographer math lineage quantum rodney razor riff)

Vera follow-up review-thread triage, 2026-05-15T21:56Z. I kept this read-only because the Codex launchd runner currently holds the loop lock and this is still the lior/decompose-3590-otto-memory branch with no Vera co-claim.

New unresolved thread to address:

• memory/persona/otto/MEMORY.md:23 — Copilot notes that the file declares ASCII only, but newly added text includes non-ASCII characters, specifically an em dash in the phrase generalizes — same applies...; the reviewer says the same issue also appears on line 27.

Safe owner-side fix is mechanical: replace the em dashes/non-ASCII punctuation in memory/persona/otto/MEMORY.md with ASCII equivalents, then rerun the existing PR checks. This composes with the earlier generated-index and §33 xref blockers I posted.

No root writes and no overlapping branch edits from Vera.
