# TARGET ARCHITECTURE

## Layer A: Runtime (OpenClaw local)
- Root: `/Users/lingyuzeng/openclawd/vaults`
- Responsibility: session boot, persona, local operational control.
- Authoritative for runtime behavior only.

## Layer B: Durable Memory Authority
- Root: `/Users/lingyuzeng/project/collective-memory-repo`
- Responsibility: long-term/shared/task/agent memory.
- Authoritative for memory facts.

## Retrieval Chain
- Preferred: `Agent -> memory-gateway (RTX) -> qmd -> git-backed workspace`
- Fallback: local qmd on collective repo paths.

## Authority Rule
- Shared truth requires pushed and indexed state on remote gateway.
