What Memory Compact does

description: Distill a bloated .marvin/memory.md into durable-fact files + archive the rest (ADR-0042).

Compact the active project's project memory into the curated durable-facts layer defined by [ADR-0042](../../docs/decisions/0042-memory-as-durable-facts.md). Run this when `.marvin/memory.md` has grown into an append-log of per-turn Ship dumps (the failure mode: a real project hit 419 KB, ~99% redundant with ADRs/git/changelog).

**Operate on the ACTIVE project's `.marvin/`, never MAR
