Report unknown cost or token savings as unknown. +When a known usage or session limit is approaching, preserve progress before access stops in the existing task checkpoint: exact checkout, branch, owned changes, decisions, evidence and next action. Push approved feature-branch progress and update a PR handoff only where that publication and PR are already authorised; otherwise preserve it locally. Do not switch accounts, widen access or publish private content without the applicable authority. + ## Use memory with explicit scope Routes by host: use the commissioned Windows `curated-save-only` adapter locally (the claude.ai connector may stay on beside it) and the official authenticated Supermemory MCP in dot/cloud. Inspect actual schemas and identity/space metadata; successful metadata checks do not prove a save or semantic recall. Do not add a stock transcript-capture plugin or raw API route, request a raw key or read stored credentials.
