eb16d684fc fix: use platform cache dir for fastembed models
Previously, fastembed created .fastembed_cache in the current working
directory, polluting project folders with symlinks.

Now uses platform-appropriate cache directories:
- macOS: ~/Library/Caches/com.vestige.core/fastembed
- Linux: ~/.cache/vestige/fastembed
- Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\vestige\cache\fastembed

Can still be overridden with FASTEMBED_CACHE_PATH env var.

Fixes user feedback about .fastembed_cache appearing in random folders.

497f149b64 docs: restructure README for 30-second onboarding
README: 1,565 → 196 lines (87% reduction)

New structure:
- Quick Start above the fold (download → connect → test)
- Why Vestige in 5-row table
- Tools reference
- CLAUDE.md trigger words
- Collapsible troubleshooting
- Links to detailed docs

New docs/:
- FAQ.md: 870 lines of community Q&A
- SCIENCE.md: FSRS-6, dual-strength memory, neuroscience
- STORAGE.md: Global, per-project, multi-Claude setup
- CLAUDE-SETUP.md: Full templates for proactive memory
- CONFIGURATION.md: CLI commands, env vars

All content preserved, just reorganized for scannability.

36244f3c95 docs(faq): clarify Vestige vs Claude native memory compatibility
Address common question: users don't need to disable Claude's native
memory to use Vestige. They're independent systems that can run
simultaneously.

8bb6500985 feat(v1.1): consolidate 29 tools → 8 unified tools + CLI
Tool Consolidation:
- search: merges recall, semantic_search, hybrid_search
- memory: merges get_knowledge, delete_knowledge, get_memory_state
- codebase: merges remember_pattern, remember_decision, get_codebase_context
- intention: merges all 5 intention tools into action-based API

New CLI Binary:
- vestige stats [--tagging] [--states]
- vestige health
- vestige consolidate
- vestige restore <file>

Documentation:
- Verify all neuroscience claims against codebase
- Fix Memory States table: "Retention" → "Accessibility" with formula
- Clarify Spreading Activation: embedding similarity vs full network module
- Update Synaptic Tagging: clarify 9h/2h implementation vs biology
- Add comprehensive FAQ with 30+ questions
- Add storage modes: global, per-project, multi-Claude household
- Add CLAUDE.md setup instructions

29130c3068 fix: accurate science claims, security docs, remove hardcoded path
## Changes

### README.md
- Fix FSRS-6 formula: power law (not exponential Ebbinghaus)
- Correct formula: R(t,S) = (1 + factor × t/S)^(-w₂₀)
- Honest "The Science" table showing what's fully implemented vs inspired
- Added / indicators for implementation accuracy
- Transparency note about honest marketing

### demo.sh
- Remove hardcoded /Users/entity002 path (security/privacy)
- Use relative path with fallback: ${VESTIGE:-$(dirname "$0")/...}

### SECURITY.md (new)
- Document trust model and security boundaries
- Explain data storage locations
- List input validation measures
- Security contact process

bbd1c15b4a Add Prediction Error Gating and smart_ingest tool (26 tools total)
Implements neuroscience-inspired memory gating based on prediction error:
- New smart_ingest MCP tool that auto-decides CREATE/UPDATE/SUPERSEDE
- PredictionErrorGate evaluates semantic similarity vs existing memories
- Automatically supersedes demoted memories with similar new content
- Reinforces near-identical memories instead of creating duplicates
- Adds promote_memory/demote_memory/request_feedback tools

Thresholds:
- >0.92 similarity = Reinforce existing
- >0.75 similarity = Update/Merge
- <0.75 similarity = Create new
- Demoted + similar = Auto-supersede
