"""Phase 14 SP3 — memories hang off nodes, and the marks are nodes too. Two claims, and neither of them fails loudly if it is wrong: * **A memory belongs to the path that produced it.** A memory made on branch B must be invisible from A, and the memories of a shared ancestor must be visible from both — without anything being copied when a fork happens. The failure mode is a prompt quietly carrying a summary of a story the player abandoned. * **Retrieval reads the *whole* lineage, and that stays affordable.** The story is read through a window, but recall is long-range by definition and cannot be — so the clause names every ancestor, and the bet is that memories are sparse enough (one per six actions) for that to be tens of small rows even twenty forks deep.
