What Hippo Feature does

description: Build one hippo feature from RESEARCH.md using the micro-eval TDD loop

You are entering **hippo-feature mode** to build a new memory mechanic from `RESEARCH.md`. Follow the eval pyramid strictly. Skipping tiers wastes hours of LoCoMo time.

The eval pyramid (non-negotiable)

Tier	Harness	Time	When
1	`benchmarks/micro/run.py`	~30s	Every code change
2	`benchmarks/locomo/run.py --conversations 1 --sample 10 --score-mo
