## Review Complete

**VERDICT: request-changes**

Here's my assessment as Andrej Karpathy:

### What's Good
The memory storage layer (`memory.py`) is clean, well-engineered code — SQLite with FTS5 triggers, schema versioning, proper sanitization, zero new deps. The 28 tests all pass and cover the important cases.

### What's Missing (the hard part)
This branch implements **~15-20% of the PRD** — only Task 1.0 out of 7 task groups:

| Missing | PRD Requirement |
|---------|----------------|
| **MemoryConfig** | No `memory.enabled` toggle, no configurable limits |
| **Capture hooks** | Orchestrator never calls `add_memory()` — no memories are ever created |
| **Prompt injection** | `load_memory_for_injection()` exists but nothing calls it |
| **CLI commands** | No `colonyos memory list/search/delete/clear/stats` |
| **Gitignore** | `memory.db` not excluded — risk of committing sensitive data |
| **Integration tests** | No end-to-end verification |

### Key Technical Concern
The retrieval function `load_memory_for_injection()` accepts a `prompt_text` parameter for keyword relevance but **never uses it** — it falls back to pure recency ordering. This is the most important signal for making injected memories actually relevant to the current task. Without it, you're injecting the 10 most recent memories regardless of what you're working on.

### Unrelated Changes
The branch includes TUI `styles.py` color refactoring that has nothing to do with the memory feature — should be a separate branch.
