ver 1.5.0 — six-improvement pass: retention, routing, self-firing memory

1. capture-update keeps the whole body (was truncating to first line)
2. frontmatter completeness: kind-default status + kind-seeded tags at
   capture, fm create-or-replace, incomplete-frontmatter lint, sweep
   backfill (one data source: KIND_STATUS/KIND_REQUIRED_FM)
3. pre-write duplicate gate (exit 76, --merge-into/--force)
4. recall corpus + ranking: sessions/journal indexed (down-weighted),
   BM25 x freshness x status fusion, recall --json, index schema 2
5. session hooks: SessionStart auto-load, Stop reflection nudge
6. one-tap triage verb with processing-log audit; --json on read verbs

+22 mock end-to-end tests; all suites green. Docs current (README,
CHANGELOG, SKILL.md, commands, references, MAINTENANCE, eval README).
Drops tracked .DS_Store (gitignored); retires README-gretchen.md
(moved to gitignored dist/); adds the field report that drove item 2.

 ## What it does
 
 - Loads operator preferences, current context, and relevant project notes at the start of substantive conversations
-- **One-call `capture`** routes a memory to its canonical home, stamps frontmatter, indexes it, auto-links any entity it mentions, and logs it — driven by a machine-maintained **entity index** so routing is an alias-aware lookup, not a fuzzy search
-- **`recall`** returns a topic's matching notes *and* their one-hop linked neighbourhood (Related links + `source_notes`) for comprehensive context; **`resolve`** maps any mention to its canonical path; **`link`** adds reciprocal cross-links
+- **One-call `capture`** routes a memory to its canonical home, stamps **complete** frontmatter (kind-default `status`, kind-seeded `tags`), indexes it, auto-links any entity it mentions, and logs it — driven by a machine-maintained **entity index** so routing is an alias-aware lookup, not a fuzzy search. Updates keep the **whole body**; a title that strongly resembles an existing entity **stops at a duplicate gate** (exit 76 — `--merge-into <slug>` / `--force`) instead of spawning a near-duplicate
+- **`recall`** returns a topic's matching notes *and* their one-hop linked neighbourhood (Related links + `source_notes`) — the corpus spans the entity graph **plus session logs and journal notes** (down-weighted), ranked by BM25 × freshness × status so live notes outrank stale ones; **`resolve`** maps any mention to its canonical path; **`link`** adds reciprocal cross-links; **`triage`** routes aging inbox captures with an automatic processing-log audit trail
 - Logs working sessions so future conversations can pick up where they left off
 - **Bootstraps an empty vault from the bundled `scaffold/`** (folders, templates, anchor seeds, marker), repairs/migrates an existing one via `scripts/bootstrap.py` / `scripts/migrate.py`, and brings an upgraded vault up to spec (index + cross-links) via `scripts/sweep.py` — see `skills/echo-memory/references/bootstrap.md`
 - Exposes `/echo-load`, `/echo-save`, `/echo-recall`, `/echo-triage`, `/echo-health`, `/echo-sweep`, `/echo-reflect`, `/echo-doctor` slash commands as explicit entry points, and coordinates concurrent Claude/CoWork sessions via a cooperative advisory lock
+- **Ships session hooks** (`hooks/hooks.json`): SessionStart auto-runs the cold-start load into context, and Stop nudges `/echo-reflect` once per substantive session — the load/reflect discipline fires deterministically instead of depending on the model remembering (reflection still previews before writing)
