parththakkar106andClaude Opus 5 2d38a162d4 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.

"""Phase 14 SP7 — naming a branch, and throwing one away.
SP5 gave the tree a fork and a switch. Neither of them ever removes anything,
and nothing in the design prunes a tree on its own, so an adventure that is
retried and forked enough grows without a ceiling. Delete is what stands
between the tree and that, which is why it ships with the view that first makes
a fork reachable rather than in some later subphase.
Two rules carry most of this file:
* **A name is chosen, so it is stored; a label is derived, so it is not.** An
unnamed branch keeps NULL and the client draws it from its fork depth. A
generated "branch 4" in the column would be a lie the moment branch 3 is
deleted.
* **The delete may never take the ground under the reader.** Refusing the head
is the obvious half; refusing an *ancestor* of the head is the same mistake
wearing a disguise, and it is the one that would leave `head_branch_id`
pointing at a row the cascade removed.
