Discussionary Digest Activation

If the user says Discussionary Digest, asks to keep a digest, asks to ratify discussion notes, or says they want the conversation committed back to Research, treat that as an explicit repo convention.

Do this:

1. Open RESEARCH/discussionary-digests/README.md.

2. Check RESEARCH/discussionary-digests/index.md for the next DD-#### ID and for any active digest that should be continued.

3. Create or update a digest in RESEARCH/discussionary-digests/ using this filename pattern:

   ####_discussionary-digest_YYYY-MM-DD_short-title.md

4. Use RESEARCH/discussionary-digests/templates/discussionary-digest-template.md as the structure.

5. Record the conversation as synthesized research memory, not a verbatim transcript. Separate:

   • user-provided context;
   • source-backed facts;
   • assistant inference;
   • ratified decisions;
   • open questions;
   • follow-up actions.

6. Update RESEARCH/discussionary-digests/index.md.

7. If the discussion ratifies a durable process, also update docs/process/decision-log.md.

8. Commit with a scoped message:

   • research(digest): add ... for a new digest;
   • research(digest): update ... for an existing digest;
   • process: ratify ... when the repo convention itself changes.

When in doubt, keep the digest concise and decision-oriented. Do not rely on chat history alone for important reasoning.
