# Decision Gate

Verdict: **GO**

## Decision Gate Result

```
VERDICT: GO
```

### Rationale
All four personas (Andrej Karpathy, Linus Torvalds, Principal Systems Engineer, Staff Security Engineer) **unanimously approve** after three review rounds. No CRITICAL or HIGH findings exist. The implementation covers all six PRD functional requirements — SQLite storage with FTS5, phase-boundary capture hooks, token-budgeted prompt injection, `MemoryConfig` integration, full CLI command group, and learnings coexistence — backed by 78 dedicated tests, zero new dependencies, and strong security properties (parameterized SQL, FTS5 sanitization, orchestrator-only writes).

### Unresolved Issues
- Orchestrator `_run_pipeline()` re-indentation creates a ~360-line cosmetic diff and split resource ownership — refactor in follow-up
- Keyword extraction needs stopword filtering and OR-based FTS queries for better retrieval quality (v2)
- Unrelated TUI style changes bundled in the branch
- Per-category FIFO pruning deferred to v2

### Recommendation
**Merge as-is.** File follow-up tickets for retrieval quality improvements, orchestrator resource ownership cleanup, and per-category pruning quotas.
