Both cognitive-memory-daily.service and cognitive-memory-embed.service failed with uv: not found because systemd user services don't load ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc. The claude-memory wrapper script uses exec uv run python client.py and uv lives at /home/cal/.local/bin/uv. Fix: wrap ExecStart in bash with explicit PATH export: ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'export PATH="/home/cal/.local/bin:$PATH" && /home/cal/.local/bin/claude-memory embed --if-changed'. This was likely causing the daily timer to silently fail too.
