What Failure Log does

description: Append a FAIL-XXX entry to .memory/failures/log.md when a hypothesis fails verification.

When a fix or hypothesis fails SRE verification (after rollback attempt 3), **or** when the shell hook reports the same command failed 3×:

Read .memory/failures/log.md
Append a new entry:

## FAIL-XXX: Title
- **Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
- **Hypothesis:** ...
- **Result:** Failed — ...
- **Lesson:** ...

Run python scripts/harness-sync.py

Confirm FAIL id assigned
