[Suggestion] The constant CHANNEL_MEMORY_PROMPT_CODE_POINT_LIMIT = 12_000 has no comment explaining why this value was chosen. A one-line note (e.g., fraction of model context budget, heuristic from observed memory sizes, or coupling with DEBUG_PAYLOAD_LIMIT which is also 12,000) would help future maintainers tune it without guessing.

[Suggestion] When truncation fires, there's no stderr log or metric. An oncall engineer debugging "the bot forgot what I told it" can't distinguish "memory was truncated" from "memory was never saved" without intercepting the model prompt. A one-line process.stderr.write when isTruncated is true — matching the existing logChannelMemoryError pattern nearby — would make this operationally visible.

[Suggestion] Array.from(str) iterates by code point, not grapheme cluster. If the 12,000th code point lands mid-ZWJ-sequence (e.g., family emoji 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧), the output will contain a broken partial glyph before the [Channel memory truncated] marker. This is a pre-existing limitation, but the new call site on channel memory (which plausibly contains emoji) is the most likely to hit it. Consider Intl.Segmenter for grapheme-safe splitting when available.
