Memory-saving turns retain their persistence-only tool boundary. Hidden pre-compaction memory-saving turns could regain execution or MCP tools after selecting a memory-only surface, allowing unrelated project work while a user’s request waited. 10.1 keeps the persistence restriction through host-tool collection, client/MCP assembly and final harness presentation. File-backed saves keep read and the append-only daily-memory writer; provider-backed saves keep read and the selected plugin’s declared persistence/lookup tools. Normal foreground tooling remains available.
Channel: tagged-release, retained at 10.3. Half: defect. Date: 2026-10-10 first stable 2026.10.1.
Operator consequence: Include this fixed assembly path when depending on background memory work staying within its role. A memory-saving label alone was not an enforcement boundary. The fix requires no configuration or state migration and is included in the 10.3 stable pin.
