CORE.md Auto-Loading Removed (MCP-First Approach)

Removed the MEMORY.md symlink mechanism that auto-loaded CORE.md (~3K tokens) into every Claude Code session.

Rationale

At 670 memories, CORE.md was a blunt instrument — every session paid the token tax regardless of relevance. Most entries were project-specific (Proxmox upgrades, PD card fixes, SBA Scout phases) with no universal value.

New Approach

CLAUDE.md Memory Protocol section instructs Claude to use MCP memory_recall for on-demand context.

Changes

  • Removed 20 MEMORY.md symlinks
  • Removed ensure-symlinks step from daily systemd service
  • Updated CLAUDE.md to emphasize MCP recall over passive loading
  • CORE.md still generated daily for manual browsing via claude-memory core
