## Session: Preparing for context clear (~21:55 EST)
- Pat asked to prepare for context window clearing
- Created `COMPOUND_V2_DEEP_CONTEXT.md` — full deep reference for the paused project
- Slimmed down RESUME.md to essentials only (no auto-loading deep context)
- Updated MEMORY.md with key lessons from last session

## Key Lessons from 2026-03-05 Build Session
1. A/B test showed memory injection into 4b planner HURTS performance (0% vs 100%)
2. RAG systems are useful for humans/debugging but don't auto-inject into constrained models
3. Paper ingestion needs relevance filtering — category + keyword gates added
4. Don't oversell infrastructure as "self-improving" until there's evidence of improvement
5. Validate before building more layers
