# Cognitive Memory Systemd Daily Service Update

Updated `cognitive-memory-daily.service` to remove the `claude-memory-symlinks` step.

## New Service Chain
`decay` → `core` → `memory-git-sync`

(Previously: `decay` → `core` → `symlinks` → `memory-git-sync`)

## Files Updated
- `~/.config/systemd/user/cognitive-memory-daily.service` (active unit)
- `~/.claude/skills/cognitive-memory/systemd/` (reference copy)

## Commands Run
```bash
systemctl --user daemon-reload
```

## Notes
- `ensure-symlinks.sh` script retained but no longer called automatically
- Part of the broader CORE.md auto-loading removal (MCP-first approach)
