MEMORY.md size gate: daily size line in the token check-in + hard cap with offload in memory curation #2139
Description
MEMORY.md measured 63,479 bytes (~16K tokens) at check-in #5 — it sits in every run's preload. The weekly memory-curation practice already checks size (Drew's note), but growth is daily, the ≤600-char rule caps bullet length rather than count, and the offload step is optional, so the file regrows between Sundays.
Do:
- daily-token-usage-checkin body: add MEMORY.md bytes to its file-size snapshot (it already flags >55KB — make the byte count a standing line in every check-in report, with the 5 longest bullets named as offload candidates when over the cap below). Apply via the cron-definition workflow (definition file edit + cron.update with the complete body, then cron.view to verify).
- memory-curation-review body: add a HARD CAP of 40,000 bytes — when MEMORY.md exceeds it, offload the longest topic blocks to ~/memory/topics/.md leaving one-line pointers (same information, smaller preload) until under cap, and report what moved. Same definition workflow + verification.
- Acceptance: both definition changes verified by read-back; the next daily check-in reports the byte count; MEMORY.md at or trending to ≤40KB within one curation cycle.

DONE 2026-10-29 ~01:2x CDT, via the git-definition route (Drew's directive: edit the files in the git repo, post as replacement jobs, no scheduler body reads):
Closing as done.
