Memory impact preview view

3 min readReferenceUpdated 2026-05-21

What you'll find here

The read-only operator display for proposed memory writes before promotion or direct write attempts — preview risks, evidence gaps, and the boundary that keeps proposals visually separate from facts through craik operator memory-impact.

Proposals are not accepted facts.

The view lists proposals separately from facts_to_add and facts_to_invalidate so operators can see the proposed change without treating it as durable memory.

Commands

craik operator memory-impact PREVIEW_ID
craik operator memory-impact PREVIEW_ID --json

craik operator memory-impact prints one persisted memory impact preview by ID. The JSON form emits the same read-only snapshot with the preview, task-scoped proposals, optional policy envelope ID, and receipt IDs for downstream tooling.

What it formats

Pending memory proposals

And status.

Facts to add or update

Facts to invalidate

Proposals missing evidence

Likely contradiction risks

Scope counts

Policy envelope & receipt links

When available.

Preview boundary

Pending and rejected proposals remain review records. Approved proposals still require the configured backend and policy path before becoming durable facts.

Evidence and contradictions

Likely contradictions are preview risks, not resolved conflicts.

A contradiction preview points to the existing value, proposed value, and reason so the operator can decide whether to approve, reject, revise, or open a formal contradiction review.

Evidence gaps are shown by proposal ID.
