+# MemAudit Evaluation Card
+
+## Intended Use
+
+MemAudit evaluates long-term LLM memory writers under an explicit storage
+budget and a finite set of candidate memories. It is intended for measuring
+write-time memory quality, comparing budgeted representation choices, auditing
+validity-state/tombstone behavior, and diagnosing whether external memory stores
+fail through extraction quality or budget-aware selection.
+
+## Not Intended Use
+
+MemAudit ratios are not end-to-end assistant quality guarantees. They are not
+global optima over all possible memories, all possible natural-language
+compressions, or all possible retrieval policies. LongMemEval reader/retrieval
+numbers are downstream diagnostics, not exact oracle ratios.
+
+## Denominators
+
+- Package denominator: `OPT_P(B)`, the exact optimum for a finite MemAudit
+  package.
+- Union denominator: `OPT_{P^+(Y)}(B)`, the exact optimum after adding an
+  external written store `Y` to the package candidate set.
+- Upper-pruned bound: the best budget-feasible subset of an external store,
+  used only as an extraction-versus-selection diagnostic.
+- Retrieval/reader metrics: accuracy, recall, F1, abstention, stale-answer rate,
+  and token cost; no exact OPT denominator is claimed.
+
+## Main Package Artifacts
+
+- Synthetic exact-small: `oraclemem_runs/exact_500`.
+- Validity-heavy stress: `oraclemem_runs/stress_exact_500`.
+- Representative non-oracle writers: `oraclemem_runs/representative_writers_500`.
+- Natural support-sliced package: `llm_memory_validation/oraclemem_natural_200_gemini_v2`.
+- Natural adjudicated subset: `llm_memory_validation/natural_adjudicated_100_gemini_flash`.
+- Natural Flash-Lite spot-check: `llm_memory_validation/natural_spotcheck_30_gemini31_flash_lite`.
+- Human-edited natural seed package: `llm_memory_validation/human_style_examples`.
+- Learned writer transfer diagnostic: `llm_memory_validation/human_style_examples/learned_writer_transfer`.
+- Natural writer adapters: `llm_memory_validation/natural_adjudicated_100_gemini_flash/writer_adapters`.
+- Mem0 adjudicated rescore: `llm_memory_validation/mem0_rescore_adjudicated100_gemini_flash`.
+
+## Annotation Status
+
+Exact synthetic coverage matrices are generated from the simulator and are
+machine-checkable. Natural coverage packages are model-generated and
+model-adjudicated; they are useful reliability diagnostics but have not
+undergone human audit. The secondary natural audit showed that unsupported
+natural annotations are a bottleneck, while the 30-example Gemini Flash-Lite
+spot-check provides an additional model-adjudicated consistency check. The
+`human_style_examples` package has been human-edited/audited and is structurally
+validated, but it does not include independent inter-annotator agreement. The
+paper therefore treats Natural-200 and the human-edited package as reliability
+and artifact-validity evidence rather than definitive natural ground truth.
+
+## External Memory Systems
+
+External stores such as Mem0 are evaluated with union-denominator diagnostics.
+This prevents the invalid claim that an external writer should be measured
+against a denominator that excludes its own candidate memories. The upper-pruned
+upper is not a deployable method; it asks how much value is present in the
+written store if budget selection were solved post hoc.
+
+System-style local adapters such as Letta/MemGPT-style tiering and A-Mem-style
+graph writing are evaluated as visible-metadata policies over package
+candidates. They are denominator-matched baselines, not full published-system
+executions. The checked-out Letta repository was inspected, but a true
+Letta/MemGPT run requires a service/API/model configuration; the reported
+MemGPT-style rows therefore remain local adapter rows.
+
+The actual A-Mem run executes the checked-out public `AgenticMemory` code path
+on the 87-example adjudicated package with Gemini Flash. It is intentionally labeled separately from the local
+adapter rows: raw A-Mem notes are scored as full external memories, and a compact
+metadata view is reported only as a diagnostic derived from A-Mem's generated
+context/keywords/tags/links.
+
+The human-edited examples are also exported to the same coverage-package schema
+and used for an actual A-Mem run. That result is stronger than a purely
+model-adjudicated package, but it remains a sanity check rather than an
+inter-annotator benchmark because the examples are fictional and short.
+The exported human package also has zero-API system-adapter rows: the
+Letta/MemGPT-style adapter reaches 0.847 ratio to exact package OPT, while
+density-only is 1.000, so this row is treated as a protocol check rather than a
+separation result.
+
+The adjudicated natural package includes a stronger faithful MemGPT/Letta union
+baseline. It simulates core/archival/recall memory tiers over package-derived
+written memories and scores against a package-plus-written-store union
+denominator. It is still not a Letta server/API run, but it is closer to the
+MemGPT memory architecture than the simple adapter.
+
+## API Use
+
+API calls are used for natural package construction, adjudication, external
+store rescoring, and reader diagnostics. Exact synthetic labels and exact
+synthetic optima are deterministic and do not depend on API calls. API costs and
+cache files are recorded in the corresponding run directories.
+
+## Learned Writer Status
+
+The learned writer transfer diagnostic trains a local visible-feature estimator
+from oracle labels on train packages, then evaluates held-out selections without
+access to hidden coverage labels or query requirements. It is a deployable-writer
+diagnostic, not a proof that learned writing is solved across natural traces.
+The source ablations show that the current paper-facing estimator depends on
+combining synthetic stress labels with Natural-200 labels; neither source alone
+is sufficient on the human-edited package.
+
+## Quickcheck
+
+```powershell
+python -m unittest test_oraclemem.py
+python run_oraclemem_mvp.py --n-seeds 3 --budgets 4 --distribution base --methods opt,oracle_gvt,density_only --out-dir oraclemem_runs/quickcheck
+```
+
+## Release Checks
+
+- Verify no API keys or private credentials are included.
+- Verify paper-facing labels match `artifact_manifest.md`.
+- Verify no natural package is described as human-validated unless a human audit
+  has actually been run.
+- Verify greedy, retrieval, and reader diagnostics are not labeled as exact OPT.

+# MemAudit
+
+MemAudit is an exact-oracle evaluation protocol for budgeted long-term LLM
+memory writing. The core question is finite and package-conditional:
+
+> Given a fixed storage budget and a finite semantic evidence package, how close
+> is a written memory store to the best package-feasible store?
+
+This repository contains the manuscript, exact-small synthetic benchmarks,
+validity-heavy stress benchmarks, natural support-sliced coverage packages,
+Mem0 diagnostic rescoring artifacts, and reproducibility scripts.
+
+MemAudit is not a runtime memory product. It is an evaluation layer for
+memory writers: it scores finite candidate packages, budgeted representation
+choices, and external written stores against explicit denominators.
+
+## Quickcheck

+
+```powershell
+python -m unittest test_oraclemem.py

+```
+

+See `artifact_manifest.md` for table-to-artifact mapping and full rerun
+commands. See `REPRODUCIBILITY.md` for setup, exact-oracle runs, API runs, and
+known local build limitations.
+
+## Denominator Types
+
+- Package ratio: exact ratio to `OPT_P(B)` for a finite MemAudit candidate package.
+- Union ratio: exact ratio to `OPT_{P^+(Y)}(B)` after adding an external written store to the candidate package.
+- Upper-pruned bound: best budget-feasible subset of an external store, used only to separate extraction quality from budget-aware selection.
+- Retrieval/reader metrics: downstream diagnostics, not MemAudit optimum ratios.
+
+## Caveats
+
+The strongest exact claims are finite-package claims. LongMemEval-derived
+natural coverage packages are model-adjudicated; the separate
+`human_style_examples` package is human-edited/audited but does not include an
+inter-annotator agreement file. LongMemEval reader/retrieval results
+are downstream diagnostics and do not have exact OPT denominators. Mem0 and
+A-Mem rescoring use union-denominator and upper-pruned-bound diagnostics rather
+than claiming deployable optimal pruning policies.
+
+Do not commit API keys. `api.env` is local-only and should stay ignored.

+# Reproducibility
+
+This document records the current reproducibility path for the active root
+manuscript, `main.tex`. The repository is intentionally split into deterministic
+non-API experiments, cached external LongMemEval artifacts, and API reader runs.
+
+## Environment
+
+Use Python 3.10 or newer.
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+Optional dependencies are separated by task:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -r requirements-api.txt
+python -m pip install -r requirements-milp.txt
+```
+
+The exact-small MemAudit benchmark and unit tests use only the Python standard
+library plus `pytest` for tests. LongMemEval retrieval regeneration uses local
+ML dependencies and downloads the LongMemEval-S dataset and dense retriever
+model. API reader runs use OpenRouter and require an API key.
+
+## LaTeX Build
+
+On this machine, `latexmk`, `pdflatex`, and `tectonic` were not available on
+PATH during the 2026-04-28 local check. The attempted local build is recorded in
+`latex_compile_attempt.txt`. A generated `latex_compile.log` also exists
+locally, but `*.log` is ignored by the repository.
+
+If a TeX distribution is installed locally, run one of:
+
+```bash
+make paper
+make paper-pdflatex
+make paper-tectonic
+```
+
+Because local compilation was unavailable here, `.github/workflows/latex.yml`
+builds `main.tex` with GitHub Actions on push and pull request.
+
+## Unit Tests
+
+```bash
+python -m pytest test_oraclemem.py
+```
+
+Current verification on 2026-05-01: both `python -m unittest test_oraclemem.py`
+and `python -m pytest test_oraclemem.py` ran 17 tests and passed.
+
+## Quickcheck
+
+Use this before any expensive API or GPU work:
+
+```bash
+python -m unittest test_oraclemem.py
+python run_oraclemem_mvp.py --n-seeds 3 --budgets 4 --distribution base --methods opt,oracle_gvt,density_only --out-dir oraclemem_runs/quickcheck
+```
+
+Expected outputs:
+
+- `oraclemem_runs/quickcheck/raw_results.jsonl`
+- `oraclemem_runs/quickcheck/summary.json`
+- `oraclemem_runs/quickcheck/summary.md`
+
+## Exact-Small Benchmark
+
+Used by the exact-small budget-sweep figure in `main.tex`.
+
+```bash
+python run_oraclemem_mvp.py \
+  --n-seeds 500 \
+  --budgets 0.01,0.02,0.05,0.10,0.20 \
+  --distribution base \
+  --methods opt,oracle_gvt,density_only,recency_raw,summary_only,fact_only,no_tombstone_gvt,no_tombstone_opt \
+  --out oraclemem_runs/exact_500
+```
+
+Expected outputs:
+
+- `oraclemem_runs/exact_500/raw_results.jsonl`
+- `oraclemem_runs/exact_500/summary.json`
+- `oraclemem_runs/exact_500/summary.md`
+
+The reported `ratio_to_opt` field is valid only for these exact-small runs where
+the denominator is an exact certified optimum.
+
+## Stress Suite
+
+Used by the validity-heavy stress figure in `main.tex`. The manuscript reports
+the validity-heavy subset `base`, `update_chain`, and `temporal_interval` from
+the larger stress artifact.
+
+```bash
+python run_oraclemem_mvp.py \
+  --n-seeds 500 \
+  --budgets 0.02,0.05,0.10,0.20 \
+  --distribution base,update_chain,temporal_interval,density_trap,scope_shift,summary_tradeoff,redundancy_heavy,abstention_hard \
+  --methods opt,oracle_gvt,density_only,greedy,recency_raw,reservoir_raw,summary_only,fact_only,no_tombstone_gvt,no_tombstone_opt \
+  --out oraclemem_runs/stress_exact_500
+```
+
+Expected outputs:
+
+- `oraclemem_runs/stress_exact_500/raw_results.jsonl`
+- `oraclemem_runs/stress_exact_500/summary.json`
+- `oraclemem_runs/stress_exact_500/summary.md`
+
+## Representative Non-Oracle Writers
+
+Used by the text diagnostic on Estimated-GVT, A-MAC-like admission, and
+Mem0-style extraction proxies. These methods use visible candidate features,
+not hidden coverage labels.
+
+```bash
+python run_oraclemem_mvp.py \
+  --n-seeds 500 \
+  --budgets 4,6 \
+  --distribution base,update_chain,temporal_interval \
+  --methods opt,oracle_gvt,estimated_gvt,amac_admission,mem0_extract,density_only,recency_raw,summary_only,fact_only,no_tombstone_opt \
+  --out-dir oraclemem_runs/representative_writers_500
+```
+
+Expected outputs:
+
+- `oraclemem_runs/representative_writers_500/raw_results.jsonl`
+- `oraclemem_runs/representative_writers_500/summary.json`
+- `oraclemem_runs/representative_writers_500/summary.md`
+
+## No-API Proxy Writer Baselines
+
+Diagnostic only; not a main-paper result after the 9-page compression pass. This
+local diagnostic addresses the real-system-comparison concern without calling
+OpenRouter, OpenAI, embedding services, or API reader code. It runs deterministic proxies for
+MemGPT-style tiering, Mem0-style extraction, A-Mem-style graph/evolving memory,
+and A-MAC-style admission under the same MemAudit candidate protocol and exact
+OPT denominator.
+
+```bash
+python run_oraclemem_mvp.py \
+  --n-seeds 50 \
+  --distribution base,update_chain,scope_shift_v2,density_trap_v2,temporal_interval \
+  --budgets 4,6 \
+  --methods opt,oracle_gvt,memgpt_tiered,mem0_extract,amem_graph,amac_admission,generic_candidate_opt,no_tombstone_opt \
+  --out-dir oraclemem_runs/proxy_writer_baselines_50 \
+  --enable-retrieval \
+  --retrieval fixed,oracle
+```
+
+Expected outputs:
+
+- `oraclemem_runs/proxy_writer_baselines_50/raw_results.jsonl`
+- `oraclemem_runs/proxy_writer_baselines_50/summary.json`
+- `oraclemem_runs/proxy_writer_baselines_50/summary.md`
+- `oraclemem_runs/proxy_writer_baselines_50/REPORT.md`
+
+The report is explicit that these local ratios are synthetic exact-small ratios
+for proxy writers. A real-system comparison still requires running the actual
+systems with budget-matched memory generation, storage accounting, retrieval
+configuration, and evaluation traces.
+
+## Gemini Natural Coverage Pilot
+
+Superseded by the Natural-200 and adjudicated-subset results in `main.tex`.
+This run builds a smaller LongMemEval-S support-slice MemAudit coverage package
+using Gemini through OpenRouter. It requires `api.env` with
+`OPENROUTER_API_KEY`. Candidate generation receives only support sessions plus
+distractors; query/gold-answer fields are used only in the separate labeling
+step.
+
+```bash
+python llm_memory_validation/gemini_natural_oraclemem.py \
+  --limit 50 \
+  --distractors-per-example 2 \
+  --budgets 30,60,100 \
+  --out-dir llm_memory_validation/gemini_natural_oraclemem_50 \
+  --request-sleep 0.02
+
+python scripts/audit_coverage_artifacts.py \
+  --no-defaults \
+  --artifact gemini_natural_50=llm_memory_validation/gemini_natural_oraclemem_50/coverage_package \
+  --output-dir llm_memory_validation/gemini_natural_oraclemem_50/coverage_audit
+```
+
+Expected outputs:
+
+- `llm_memory_validation/gemini_natural_oraclemem_50/REPORT.md`
+- `llm_memory_validation/gemini_natural_oraclemem_50/coverage_resolved_summary.json`
+- `llm_memory_validation/gemini_natural_oraclemem_50/coverage_package/`
+- `llm_memory_validation/gemini_natural_oraclemem_50/coverage_audit/REPORT.md`
+
+The first uncached 50-example run used 248 API calls, 502,698 total tokens, and
+about `$0.286` in OpenRouter-reported cost. Cached reruns use zero additional
+API calls. This run is a pilot: 30/50 examples are coverage-resolved and the
+labels are single-model annotations rather than human adjudications.
+
+## Natural-200 And Model-Adjudicated Subsets
+
+Used by the natural package reliability table and the model-adjudicated subset
+table in `main.tex`.
+
+Primary Natural-200 package:
+
+```bash
+python llm_memory_validation/gemini_natural_oraclemem.py \
+  --limit 200 \

+  --max-session-words 1800 \

+  --output-dir llm_memory_validation/oraclemem_natural_200_gemini_v2/coverage_audit
+```
+
+Gemini Flash adjudicated subset:
+
+```bash
+python llm_memory_validation/adjudicate_natural_package.py \
+  --primary-package-dir llm_memory_validation/oraclemem_natural_200_gemini_v2/coverage_package \

+  --mem0-raw-results llm_memory_validation/mem0_natural200_actual/raw_results.jsonl \
+  --request-sleep 0.02
+```
+
+Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite spot-check:
+
+```bash
+python llm_memory_validation/adjudicate_natural_package.py \
+  --primary-package-dir llm_memory_validation/oraclemem_natural_200_gemini_v2/coverage_package \
+  --out-dir llm_memory_validation/natural_spotcheck_30_gemini31_flash_lite \

+  --output-dir llm_memory_validation/natural_spotcheck_30_gemini31_flash_lite/coverage_audit
+```
+
+The Flash-Lite spot-check attempted 30 examples, exported 29
+accepted/corrected examples, rejected 1, used 201,301 total tokens, and cost
+`$0.0639` through OpenRouter. It is model adjudication, not human validation.
+
+## Human-Edited Natural Seed Package
+
+This package is a fictional 100-example natural-memory seed set that was
+manually edited/audited after generation. It is used as an artifact-validity
+check for manual annotation plus exact finite-package scoring. It is not an
+inter-annotator agreement study.
+
+Validate the canonical JSONL:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/validate_human_style_examples.py llm_memory_validation/human_style_examples/examples_100.jsonl
+```
+
+Evaluate the finite package with an exact dynamic-programming denominator:
+
+```bash
+python llm_memory_validation/evaluate_human_style_examples.py \
+  --examples-jsonl llm_memory_validation/human_style_examples/examples_100.jsonl \
+  --out-dir llm_memory_validation/human_style_examples/eval_package_100 \
+  --budgets 150,300,600,1000 \
+  --methods opt,oracle_gvt,estimated_gvt,memgpt_tiered,amem_graph,amac_admission,mem0_extract,density_only,greedy,fact_only,summary_only,recency_raw,no_tombstone_opt
+```
+
+Expected outputs:
+
+- `llm_memory_validation/human_style_examples/eval_package_100/raw_results.jsonl`
+- `llm_memory_validation/human_style_examples/eval_package_100/summary.json`
+- `llm_memory_validation/human_style_examples/eval_package_100/summary.md`
+- `llm_memory_validation/human_style_examples/eval_package_100/REPORT.md`
+
+Current verification on 2026-05-01: validation passed with 100 records and no
+structural errors. The evaluator reports the denominator as
+`exact_human_audited_package_dp`.
+
+Export the same examples to the shared coverage-package schema:
+
+```bash
+python llm_memory_validation/export_human_style_coverage_package.py \
+  --examples-jsonl llm_memory_validation/human_style_examples/examples_100.jsonl \
+  --out-dir llm_memory_validation/human_style_examples/coverage_package

+  --artifact human_style_coverage=llm_memory_validation/human_style_examples/coverage_package \

+```
+
+Run actual public A-Mem on the exported human-edited package:

+Current actual A-Mem human-edited run: 85 query-resolved examples, 456 cached API
+prompts, 269,742 tokens, estimated OpenRouter cost `$0.233`. Full A-Mem notes
+reach union-OPT ratio `0.971` at all reported budgets; metadata-only reaches
+`0.247`. This result is strong but should be interpreted with the package caveat:
+the sessions are short enough that full notes fit the 150+ word budgets.
+
+## Learned Writer Transfer Diagnostic
+
+This local run trains a visible-feature utility estimator on train-only oracle
+labels from synthetic instances plus the Natural-200 model-annotated package,
+then evaluates held-out decisions on the human-edited seed package. Hidden
+coverage is used for train labels only; held-out selection sees visible
+candidate metadata only.
+
+```bash

+
+Current run: 1,000 synthetic train instances plus 200 natural train instances
+with 22,106 train candidates. Estimated-GVT reaches held-out exact package-OPT
+ratios `0.933/0.926/0.854/0.792` at budgets `150/300/600/1000`. This is a
+deployable-writer diagnostic, not an inter-annotator natural benchmark.
+
+Training-source ablations:

+```
+
+Current ablations: synthetic-only Estimated-GVT reaches
+`0.667/0.778/0.792/0.833`; Natural-200-only reaches
+`0.000/0.074/0.375/0.486`. The combined run is therefore the paper-facing
+learned-writer result because it is strongest at tight and medium budgets.
+
+## Natural Writer Adapter Diagnostic
+
+This local run scores Letta/MemGPT-style archival/recency and A-Mem-style graph
+adapters on the adjudicated natural package under the same exact package OPT
+denominator. It does not call an API and does not run Letta or A-Mem itself.
+
+```bash

+
+Current run: 87 accepted/corrected adjudicated examples, zero API calls.
+Letta/MemGPT-style reaches `0.638/0.433/0.431`, A-Mem-style reaches
+`0.481/0.374/0.377`, and density-only reaches `0.991/0.955/0.962` at budgets
+`30/60/100`. The density result is a warning that this copied-candidate natural
+denominator is unusually density-friendly.
+
+## Human-Edited Writer Adapter Diagnostic
+
+This local run scores the same Letta/MemGPT-style, A-Mem-style, Mem0-style, and
+A-MAC-style adapters on the exported human-edited coverage package. It is a
+zero-API denominator-matched check. It does not run the Letta service or MemGPT
+controller; the checked-out Letta repository requires a service/API/model
+configuration for a true production run.
+
+```bash

+- `llm_memory_validation/human_style_examples/writer_adapters/run_manifest.json`
+
+Current run: 85 query-resolved examples, zero API calls. Letta/MemGPT-style
+reaches `0.847`, A-Mem-style reaches `0.876`, Mem0-style reaches `0.753`, and
+A-MAC-style reaches `0.835` across budgets `150/300/600/1000`. Density-only is
+`1.000` on this per-query exported package, so this row is a MemGPT-style
+adapter reproducibility check rather than the strongest algorithmic separation.
+
+## Faithful MemGPT/Letta Union Baseline
+
+This no-API runner is the current MemGPT/Letta-strengthened baseline on the
+adjudicated natural package. It checks the local `external_repos/letta` checkout
+metadata, records that the actual Letta import path is not available without the
+full service dependency stack, then simulates the relevant core/archival/recall
+memory tiers over exported package candidates. Writing and retrieval use visible
+metadata only; hidden coverage is used only for scoring, except in the
+analysis-only upper-pruned bound row.
+
+```bash
+python llm_memory_validation/run_faithful_memgpt_letta_baseline.py \

+
+Current run: 87/87 examples, zero API calls. Archival-search pruning reaches
+`0.746/0.739/0.866` ratio to union OPT at budgets `30/60/100`; recency pruning
+reaches `0.642/0.700/0.877`; the analysis-only upper-pruned bound reaches
+`0.829/0.907/0.939`.
+
+## Actual Letta OpenRouter Passage Run
+
+This runs the checked-out Letta server (`external_repos/letta`, version
+`0.16.7`) with Postgres/pgvector, OpenRouter Gemini, and authenticated
+OpenRouter passage embeddings. Apply
+`llm_memory_validation/patches/letta_openrouter_embedding_auth.patch` to the
+Letta checkout before starting the server; without it, OpenRouter passage

+Current run: 87/87 examples, zero failed instances. Letta writes archival
+passages for 85 examples and core-memory atoms for 30 examples. The combined
+core+archival store reaches union-OPT ratios `0.652/0.696/0.734` with salience
+pruning, `0.219/0.260/0.342` with recency pruning, and `0.723/0.763/0.765` for
+the analysis-only upper-pruned bound at budgets `30/60/100`.
+
+## Actual A-Mem Gemini-Flash Pilot
+
+This runs the checked-out public `external_repos/AgenticMemory` implementation,
+using Gemini Flash through OpenRouter for A-Mem metadata/evolution calls and for
+post-hoc coverage scoring. It reports a finite union denominator over package
+candidates plus A-Mem-written memories. The full-memory rows score A-Mem's actual
+stored notes; the metadata rows are a compact diagnostic serialization of
+A-Mem-generated context/keywords/tags/links.

+Current 87-example run: raw full A-Mem notes have mean serialized cost `4446`
+words and therefore score `0.000/0.000/0.000` at budgets `30/60/100`; at the
+diagnostic budget `5000`, the raw full-store oracle upper reaches `0.845`.
+The compact metadata diagnostic has mean cost `66` words and reaches
+`0.204/0.158/0.180` with oracle pruning at budgets `30/60/100`. The run used
+524 cached API prompts, 2,433,021 tokens, and an estimated OpenRouter cost of
+`$1.576`.

+## LongMemEval-S Retrieval Transfer
+
+Diagnostic only after the 9-page compression pass. This report is
+retrieval-only: no answer generation, no abstention scoring, and no exact OPT
+denominator.
+
+To regenerate the focus report from the cached retrieval rows:
+
+```bash

+- `dense_budgeted_bsc`: MemAudit writer + dense retrieval
+- `dense_rag_e5`: Full raw-store dense retrieval
+- `dense_budgeted_replay`: Budgeted raw replay + dense retrieval
+- `fifo_replay`: FIFO raw replay

+
+This upstream regeneration downloads external data/model artifacts and may vary
+with model or dataset revisions unless those are pinned outside this repository.
+
+## GPT-5.5 Frozen-Context Reader
+

+## Gemini Flash-Lite Diagnostic
+
+This API run is a robustness diagnostic, not a theorem-facing result. It uses
+OpenRouter model `google/gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview` and requires `api.env`.
+
+```bash
+python llm_memory_validation/longmemeval_reader_eval.py \

+
+## Noisy Estimated-Policy Diagnostic
+
+This run does not call an API. It records Gemini Flash-Lite as provenance for a
+local noisy estimated-utility profile and is useful as a synthetic stress
+diagnostic for non-oracle writer evaluation.
+
+```bash
+python run_oraclemem_mvp.py \
+  --n-seeds 500 \

+```
+
+To audit an exported coverage package:
+
+```bash

+```
+
+## Train/Dev Estimated-Writer Diagnostic
+
+This local run trains a ridge utility estimator on synthetic train seeds and
+evaluates `estimated_*` methods only on held-out dev seeds. It does not call an
+API and is diagnostic rather than final deployed-writer evidence.
+
+```bash
+python run_oraclemem_mvp.py \

+
+## Known Non-Reproducible Or External Pieces
+
+- Local LaTeX compilation depends on a TeX distribution; this machine did not
+  have `latexmk`, `pdflatex`, or `tectonic` on PATH.
+- GPT-5.5 reader outputs require OpenRouter access, model availability, and API
+  spending. Use the cached reader outputs for paper auditability.
+- Gemini natural coverage and actual Mem0 smoke outputs require OpenRouter
+  access if regenerated from scratch; use cached artifacts for audit where
+  possible.
+- LongMemEval-S retrieval regeneration downloads the dataset and
+  `intfloat/e5-base-v2`; exact rows can drift if upstream artifacts change.
+- API costs in `summary.json` are historical and should not be treated as a
+  stable price quote.

+\section*{NeurIPS Paper Checklist}
+
+\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=1.5em,itemsep=4pt]
+\item \textbf{Claims.} \answerYes{} The abstract and introduction state that \method\ is an exact-oracle evaluation protocol for finite memory-writing packages, not a deployed memory architecture. The scope and package-conditional nature are discussed in \Cref{sec:scope}.
+
+\item \textbf{Limitations.} \answerYes{} \Cref{sec:scope} gives a separate scope and limitations section covering package-conditional optima, model-adjudicated natural labels, support-sliced natural packages, exact-solver scale, and downstream QA diagnostics.
+
+\item \textbf{Theory, assumptions, and proofs.} \answerYes{} Assumptions for the semantic coverage theorem and scoped oracle-\compiler\ guarantee are stated in \Cref{sec:package,sec:oracles}; complete proofs are provided in \Cref{app:proofs}.
+
+\item \textbf{Experimental result reproducibility.} \answerYes{} The artifact includes deterministic package generators, exact solvers, cached package artifacts, result summaries, and rerun commands. Minimal reproduction does not require API calls; API-backed reconstruction is documented separately.
+
+\item \textbf{Open access to data and code.} \answerYes{} The anonymized submission includes code, package data, Croissant metadata, and documentation for reproducing the main exact-package and exported-system diagnostics.
+
+\item \textbf{Experimental setting/details.} \answerYes{} \Cref{sec:controlled,sec:validity,sec:natural,app:details} describe the package distributions, budgets, candidate families, adjudication path, exact solvers, and exported-system scoring setup.
+
+\item \textbf{Experiment statistical significance.} \answerYes{} The controlled exact sweep reports bootstrap 95\% confidence intervals over the canonical 500-seed run. Natural and exported-system package rows are reported as deterministic diagnostics on the adjudicated subset.
+
+\item \textbf{Experiments compute resources.} \answerYes{} \Cref{sec:scope} and the artifact documentation state that exact-small and cached natural re-scoring run on CPU without API calls. API-backed natural annotation and external memory exports require OpenRouter-compatible API access and cached model/version metadata.
+
+\item \textbf{Code of ethics.} \answerYes{} The work is an evaluation artifact for memory-writing systems. The release is anonymized for review and excludes API keys, private review notes, and local environment files.
+
+\item \textbf{Broader impacts.} \answerYes{} The main risk is that memory benchmarks can incentivize storing sensitive or stale personal information. \Cref{sec:validity,sec:scope} discuss validity-state memories, abstention/deletion units, and auditability as mitigation-oriented design choices.
+
+\item \textbf{Safeguards.} \answerNA{} The paper does not release a pretrained model or high-risk generative model. The artifact releases package schemas, generators, scoring code, and cached benchmark data.
+
+\item \textbf{Licenses.} \answerYes{} The paper cites external systems and datasets used for comparison. The artifact documentation includes dependency and asset manifests; external repository checkouts are not bundled in the anonymized artifact.
+
+\item \textbf{Assets.} \answerYes{} The submission includes a dataset/evaluation artifact with README, reproducibility instructions, evaluation card, artifact manifest, Croissant metadata, and documented intended/not-intended uses.
+
+\item \textbf{Crowdsourcing and research with human subjects.} \answerNA{} No paid crowd workers or human-subject experiments are used. The human-edited seed package consists of fictional examples edited for schema validation and does not include participant data.
+
+\item \textbf{IRB approvals.} \answerNA{} The released examples are synthetic, model-adjudicated support slices, or fictional human-edited seed examples. No identifiable participant data or human-subject intervention is released.
+
+\item \textbf{Declaration of LLM usage.} \answerYes{} LLMs are used for natural support-slice package construction, adjudication, external memory-system exports, and reader diagnostics; these uses are described in \Cref{sec:natural,sec:scope,app:details,app:longmemeval}.

+"""Adjudicate a natural OracleMem coverage package with a separate LLM judge.
+
+The Natural-200 package is useful only if its evidence-unit labels and coverage
+edges are semantically stable.  This script builds a smaller adjudicated package
+from an existing natural package:
+
+* candidate memories are copied from the primary package;
+* a separate Gemini Flash adjudicator reviews required evidence units and
+  candidate-unit coverage edges;
+* only accepted/corrected adjudications are exported into a new coverage
+  package;
+* exact package-OPT and baseline scores are recomputed on the adjudicated
+  package.
+
+This is not human adjudication.  It is an intermediate validity check that is
+cheaper than human review and more useful than treating primary annotation as
+ground truth.

+uses Gemini through OpenRouter to create an auditable natural-trace coverage
+package:
+
+* candidate memories are generated from conversation sessions only;
+* query/gold answers are used only in a separate annotation step that maps
+  extracted evidence units to the evaluation question;
+* exact OPT is solved over the resulting finite candidate set;
+* local published-system-inspired writer policies are scored under the same
+  candidate set and budget.
+
+The default run is a small pilot.  Scale `--limit` only after checking cache hit
+rate, cost, and package quality.

+"""Run the actual checked-out A-Mem writer on an OracleMem coverage package.
+
+This is a true-system bridge for the cloned ``external_repos/AgenticMemory``
+repository. It feeds package experiences into A-Mem's ``AgenticMemorySystem``,
+uses Gemini through OpenRouter for A-Mem metadata/evolution calls, maps the
+written A-Mem memories back to OracleMem evidence units with a cached judge, and
+reports budgeted scores.
+
+External A-Mem memories are scored against a finite union denominator:
+package candidates plus A-Mem-written memories. Package-only ratios are retained
+as diagnostics and can exceed or differ from union ratios.
+
+The primary "full" view scores A-Mem's actual stored notes. Because A-Mem stores
+large conversation chunks, those notes often exceed the small OracleMem word
+budgets. The secondary "metadata" view scores a compact serialization of
+A-Mem-generated context/keywords/tags/links; it is a diagnostic for whether
+A-Mem's actual metadata contains budget-feasible evidence, not a claim that
+A-Mem natively stores only those fields.
