Identity rename, no behavior change (CHORUS-PLAN.md Phase 1): - Plugin echo-memory → chorus-memory: manifest (v2.0.0-alpha.1), skill dir, 16 scripts (chorus.py, chorus_config.py, …), EchoError → ChorusError, /chorus-* commands, hook paths, docs, scaffold seeds, eval harness, build.py. Docs endpoint → chorusapi.mpm.to. - Env ECHO_* → CHORUS_*; config → ~/.claude/chorus-memory/config.json; state dir → ~/.chorus-memory/; marker → _agent/chorus-vault.md. Back-compat shims (one major version): - chorus_config aliases legacy ECHO_* env at import; reads a legacy echo-memory config.json when no CHORUS config exists (writes never land there); doctor/config report the legacy source. - State dir honors an existing ~/.echo-memory when the new dir is absent (offline queue not stranded). - Marker dual-probe in load/doctor/bootstrap/lint/sweep/migrate: a pre-fork _agent/echo-vault.md counts as bootstrapped; bootstrap repair won't write a second marker; routing gains agent-marker-legacy (GET). Verified: 25/25 unit tests, scaffold + routing-sync checks, 4 mock e2e suites, run_eval metrics unchanged, +6 shim smoke tests green. Rebuilt chorus-memory.plugin (79 entries).

CHORUS Memory Vault
This Obsidian vault is the persistent memory substrate ("second brain") for its operator. It is read and written across Claude / CoWork sessions through the Obsidian Local REST API.
This vault holds data, not logic. All operating procedure — how the vault is bootstrapped, how notes are routed, the taxonomy, frontmatter conventions, and safety rules — lives in the chorus-memory plugin, which is the single source of truth. There are intentionally no CLAUDE.md / BOOTSTRAP.md / STRUCTURE.md control docs in this vault; updating or porting CHORUS means updating or installing the plugin, not editing files here.
- Layout: see the plugin's
references/vault-layout.md. - Operating contract & safety: see the plugin's

_agent/chorus-vault.mdrecords the schema version and bootstrap date.
