⚡️ Our Third Way: The Nexus Middleware
✅ Zero external dependencies (pure TypeScript, same-process)
✅ Git as memory middleware (Markdown + Symlink, no Docker)
✅ Ebbinghaus decay algorithm (smart forgetting beats perfect memory)
Full breakdown covers:
▸ Why "perfect memory" is an anti-pattern
▸ How to use Native Memory Flush to extract critical decisions
▸ Reusable settings.json configurations
