M3: move the story's head instead of deleting its turns
Undo deleted. It removed the trailing AI action and the player action in front of it, pruned the memories covering them, and let the tip fall back to whatever survived. That made it the one operation in the application that destroyed accepted story, and it was why there was no Redo: the turns to move forward into no longer existed. Phase 0B demonstrated the head-cursor alternative in a disposable spike; this is that concept as production code. backend/app/head.py is the whole of it. Three questions that used to be one — where the story is being read, how far it is retained, and where it opens — are now three functions, and every caller that moves the head or asks about it goes through this module. The spike put the fork check in the write path and left Retry and Add-take on the old one; sharing the rules is what stops that divergence coming back. lineage.Path now caps every entry at the head, so hiding the retained future costs nothing at the call sites: the transcript, the context builder, attempts.preceding and memory retrieval already funnelled through path_of and narrow together. Path.uncapped() is the deliberate exception, and only Redo and the fork check may use it. The memory bank needs no pruning for the same reason — a memory carries the coordinate of the node its block ends on, so one derived past the head falls outside the capped clause and becomes retrievable again on Redo without having been deleted and re-embedded. Undo alone does not fork. Moving the head is not a decision to abandon anything, since the user may be reading or about to Redo; the first write below the head is where the story states which continuation it means. A head already at the tip forks nothing, so a story that is never undone forks exactly as often as it did before and the branch table does not fill up with one branch per turn. Redo follows the lineage rather than choosing among branches, which is what invalidates it after a divergence with no flag to set or clear. Migrations 78 and 79 give a branch superseded_at and superseded_depth. Nothing reads them to decide behaviour — Redo is decided by the lineage, so a stale or hand-edited value here cannot make the story wrong. They exist so the cleanup and discarded-history features left to a later version have something to select on, and so a divergence is observable in a test. Deleting an action no longer drags a moved-back head forward to the recomputed tip, which would have silently redone the story. can_undo and can_redo ride on AdventureOut and ActionPage because the client can work out neither for itself: the campaign opening may be off the top of the loaded window, and the retained future is never sent to it. This is a checkpoint, not the finished milestone. 601 backend tests pass. Five still assert the destructive contract — they count rows after an undo and expect the story to be shorter — and need rewriting against the new one; the world-state assertions inside them already pass. Export and import do not yet carry the head coordinate, so a bundle still reopens at the deepest node and can silently redo an undone story, which is the Phase 0B finding this milestone exists to close. The browser has no Redo control yet. None of the M3 acceptance coverage (D01-D10, E01-E04, I01-I03, I07, L01-L02) is written.

Rewrite Python comments in Google developer documentation style (#12)
* Rewrite comments in Google developer documentation style Rewrite the comments and docstrings across the backend core modules so they read plainly. The previous prose was accurate but dense and figurative, which made it slow to skim. Applies the Google developer documentation style guide: short sentences, active voice, present tense, American spelling, and no metaphors, idioms, or rhetorical asides. Replaces em-dash chains with separate sentences. |

Answer the review, and keep the opening node's bank
Nine findings from a review of the phase-14 stack. The one about a retry withdrawing a memory is not a bug — a memory anchored to a node describes that node, and it goes when the node goes. The root is the exception, and it is the only one: migration 62 parked every memory written before memories had coordinates on depth 0, so withdrawing the opening node would retire a whole bank nobody attached there. A memory with no source range covers no story and now stays; a summary that genuinely ends there is still withdrawn. The rest are repairs. * The adventure list quoted whichever attempt was written last rather than the one the story tells, so switching back left the index disagreeing with the page. * A v1 import gave a typed memory no depth, rebuilding the NULL the migration exists to remove — invisible until the imported adventure forked. * The action cap counted a v1 file's turns, and a turn expands into a row per saved attempt, so a file inside the cap could write a multiple of it. * Forking a live node on a borrowed ancestor promoted a sibling on a branch the caller never named. It is a branch switch, and now says so. * Switching attempts left the state, status and memory panels reading the previous take: the story does not change length, so nothing keyed on its length noticed. Same class as the branch-switch bug this phase already fixed. * A retry after switching back numbered the new attempt into the middle of the group instead of the end. * The cursor backfill numbered every action in the table once per adventure; correlated to the adventure being updated, it is an index lookup instead. * Renaming a branch answered own_actions=0. And one behaviour change recorded rather than repaired: script-visible history and actionCount no longer count blank-text rows. That is the right shape and there is no reading compatible with both, so plan/14 says so. 409 tests.

Give every memory a node, and show only the ones on your path
A hand-written memory used to carry a NULL depth, described in the model as "belongs to the adventure rather than to a path". That sounds harmless and is not: a NULL is a coordinate no fork can cap, so a note typed on one line followed the reader onto branches whose story it never described. It takes the head now — the story you were reading when you wrote it — and obeys exactly the rule a summarised memory obeys. The unanchored escape clause in lineage.Path.clause existed for that single case and is deleted rather than left unused. Its docstring argued that a capped depth would drop a typed memory the moment its branch stopped being the newest entry; anchoring answers the same worry better, because the memory is not exempt from the path, it is on one. The drawer now shows the path being read and nothing else, filtered by the clause retrieval itself uses, so the bank you can see is the bank the model can see. Nothing is stranded: a memory lives on a branch, switching to that branch shows it, and deleting the branch deletes it. Pinning decides order, the path decides existence. Migration 62 lands existing NULL-depth memories at depth 0 of their branch rather than at the tip. 0 is at or before every fork point, so every memory stays visible from exactly the paths it is visible from today — nobody's bank loses a row on deploy. The tip is the tidier-sounding choice and would have emptied them out of every branch forked earlier than they were typed. This supersedes the on_path flag and the "another branch" badge from earlier today; anchoring makes them redundant, and they are removed. Four tests changed because they asserted the old contract, not because they broke. The one worth reading is the pair replacing test_a_hand_written_memory_is_not_lost_at_the_first_fork: typed on shared trunk it still survives a fork, and typed on ground the fork never travelled it no longer follows you. 402 tests. Verified on tools/branch_fixture.py: each branch's drawer holds its own memory and not the other's.

Make a retry a node, not a rewrite
Every attempt at a turn is now its own row at the same (branch, depth), with `live` naming the one the story tells. The JSON repeating group on `actions.variants` is read one last time, by a migration that writes it out as the sibling rows it always described, and then goes unread. The snapshots turn around with it: an action carries the state it left behind rather than the state it started from, because attempts at one turn share a starting position and differ exactly in their outcome. Rolling back is "what the node in front left behind", one lookup on the path, and it is what undo and retry now both read. And the memory holdback goes. It existed because retry rewrote a row under a mark that had already moved past it; a retry writes a sibling now, and replacing what a coordinate says withdraws what was derived from it — the same repair undo and delete already made. The assembled prompt is still stored once per turn: it moves with the live flag, so a superseded attempt keeps only the few hundred bytes that were its own. Measured on the 600-action fixture: 700 rows for the same 600-turn story, prompt archive byte-identical at 0.50 MB, index 1.8 kB and page load 62.7 kB unmoved. 347 tests green. `tests/test_story_tree_baseline.py` and `tests/test_retry_variants.py` pass unmodified — SP4 was allowed to move the baseline for the variant-count semantics and did not need to.

Mark the story with a node, not with a count
The memory bank and the story summary each kept a cursor: how many story actions they had already covered. A count is a position in a list, and this list moves — delete an action in front of the mark and every later one slides down a slot, so the mark now covers one it has never read. All the cursor bookkeeping existed to patch that up. Both marks are now (branch_id, depth): the node up to and including which the work is done. A depth is a coordinate along a path, not an offset into a list, so nothing in front of it can move it. That deletes rather than rewrites `position_of_index`, `note_action_removed`, `_rewind_cursors_to_index`, `prune_dangling_memories` and the every-pass clamp in `run_post_turn`. A memory hangs off the node its block ends on, so a fork inherits its ancestors' memories without copying any, and retrieval selects through the branch clause over the *whole* lineage — recall is long-range by definition and cannot be windowed. Measured: 1,807 B on a story forked twenty times against 1,823 B on a flat one of the same length. Migrations 53-56 translate the old counts into nodes. They rewrite `adventures` and not `actions`, so this one needs no VACUUM FULL.

Read one story, and know which one
Every read of an action now goes through a single module. `context/lineage.py` turns a branch's stored lineage into the OR-of-ranges that is "this story", and history, paging, the newest-action lookups, the index screen and the scripting history API all select through it. A forgotten clause does not raise — it quietly assembles a page, or a prompt, out of two different stories — so the clause lives in one place rather than in a convention. The read that mattered most was the shortcut: `_from_memory` sliced `adventure.actions`, which is every branch's actions, not the path. It now cuts the loaded collection down with the same predicate the SQL uses. Same trap one layer up, and user-visible: `pipeline._history()` hands user scripts the story, and was handing them the collection. Tail reads window the lineage as well as the rows: the newest few entries cover the context budget, so a story forked twenty times reads its tail with one clause and costs 1.07x what an unforked story of the same length costs. The estimate is depth arithmetic, and where a deleted action leaves a gap the read notices it came up short and widens to the whole ancestry. Ordering moves from `index` to `depth`, with `id` breaking ties. The two hold the same numbers until retry stops mutating rows in SP4, but only one of them is a position along a path. One thing SP1 did not anticipate: wiring the writers was not enough. From here a row without a branch is a row no read can see, and "every writer remembers" has to hold for every fixture, script and test ever written — including the SP0 baseline, which writes its actions straight to the database and must pass unmodified. So the session enforces it: `tree.place_new_nodes` runs from before_flush and places anything unplaced. The call sites keep their explicit calls, because a node placed at the call site is placed before the code around it reads it back. 316 tests green: the 297 from SP1, plus 19 in test_branch_clause.py.
