Overview / Motivation

Auto-filed by the workflow-fix-on-bug protocol from a prose follow-up surfaced on task #2093 (emitting agent: implementer, unit C of the pre-split curation round; marker epm:results v1 §(d)).

Goal

Any alignment/import of an agent-memory MEMORY.md index to another copy runs a row-set no-lost-row check (comm -13 local vs imported; rows unique to the local copy are preserved or explicitly dispositioned) — closing the manual-alignment class the #1972 Step 5a dirt/branch-side arms do not cover.

Workflow gap

Bug observed: 7 reconciler memory-index rows were silently dropped by manual stale-copy alignments to main's #1891-curated index (commits 038a42ec6c, 0aaf39acac); their bodies became index-unreferenced with no disposition record.
Why it is a workflow gap: the Step 5a spec-freshness sync now carries #1972's uncommitted-dirt + branch-side-edit protections, but those bind ONLY the sync block; a session hand-aligning a stale agent-memory index to another copy (git checkout <ref> -- .claude/agent-memory/...-style imports, as both cited commits did) has no row-loss discipline at all — rows unique to the local copy vanish with no record, exactly the loss class the memory system exists to prevent.
Confidence (emitter): medium
verified-at-filing: git log -1 038a42ec6c / 0aaf39acac → both resolve (2026-07-31, "align 3 more stale agent-memory indexes…" / "import origin/main's #1891-curated agent-memory indexes…"); the 7 orphaned bodies are enumerated with class-(b) justifications in docs/agent_memory_curation_2093.md § reconciler § Intentionally-unreferenced (branch issue-2093, commit 059c7f2181). The gap claim is behavioral (absence of an operation-time discipline for manual alignments), not grep-refutable: n/a — absence-of-guard claim; the #1972 arms were read in .claude/skills/issue/SKILL.md § Step 5a and bind the sync block only.

Proposed change (candidate diff sketch — refine in planning)

(synthesized from prose follow-up)

SKILL.md / gotchas.md: before any alignment of .claude/agent-memory/*/MEMORY.md
to another copy (manual import, stale-copy alignment, or any checkout of another
ref's copy over the local one), run per index:
comm -13 <(sort <aligned/incoming copy>) <(sort )
Rows unique to the LOCAL copy are re-appended to the aligned result or
explicitly dispositioned in the commit message — never silently dropped.
(unverified hypothesis — verify at plan time: whether a workflow_lint or hook
leg can mechanize any part of this, given the check is operation-time, not
tree-state.)

Scope / surfaces

Primary target: .claude/skills/issue/SKILL.md, .claude/rules/gotchas.md
Grep the workflow surface for existing alignment prose before editing (grep -rln 'agent-memory' .claude/skills/issue/SKILL.md .claude/rules/) and update every hit that prescribes or permits an index alignment; list them in the plan.

Constraints / invariants

Workflow-surface only — never experiment code, configs/, or tasks/.
scripts/workflow_lint.py --check-asks passes; ruff on touched files passes.
This session runs under EPM_WORKFLOW_FIX_SESSION=1 and carries a workflow_fix_target: Provenance line — it MUST NOT auto-route any of its own subagents' workflow-fix candidates (recursion guard).
Related but NOT this task's scope: restoring the 7 orphaned reconciler rows (~+1.6 KB) — #2093's manifest flags that for a future curation round.

Verbatim surfaced prose (task #2093 epm:results v1 §(d)): "Manifest ## reconciler § Intentionally-unreferenced bodies, class (b): the 7 bodies whose index rows were dropped by branch-copy alignments to main's #1891-curated index — confirm the 'flag for a future round, do not restore now' call. Prose follow-up for the orchestrator: a standing no-lost-row check on agent-memory index ALIGNMENTS (the class that orphaned these 7) would prevent recurrence; this task's plan §3 fold + criterion-7 assert covers only THIS merge."
