Summary

The previous opening sentence ("Each agent session resets from zero") contradicted the very next sentence ("the memory features that exist today are there but rarely used"). They can't both be true — either sessions reset or they don't.

Replaced with a rhetorical question that puts the user's frustration first, then the rest of the paragraph correctly explains why the existing memory features don't solve that frustration.

  • Each agent session resets from zero. The memory features that exist today …
  • Are you frustrated by each agent session forgetting the valuable lessons you worked on previously? The memory features that exist today …

One line, doc-only.

"Each agent session resets from zero" contradicted the very next
sentence ("the memory features that exist today are *there* but
rarely used"). They can't both be true — either sessions reset or
they don't.

Replaced with a rhetorical question that puts the *user's*
frustration first ("Are you frustrated by each agent session
forgetting the valuable lessons you worked on previously?"). The
rest of the paragraph then explains why the existing memory
features don't solve that frustration — which is the real claim
the section was trying to make all along.

- Quick start: replaced "Phase 4 work" (internal jargon) with
  "auto-supervision not yet implemented" — readers landing here
  shouldn't need to know our phase numbering.
- "Where your memories live" table: added the ``cost.json`` row
  (was already in the deeper Storage-on-disk tree but missing from
  the user-facing quickstart summary).
- Layout section: "177 pytest tests" → pointer to the Status
  section's current count, so this stops drifting every time we
  add tests.
- Cost section: ambient priming overhead was listed as "~500
  chars / ~150 tokens" with "BM25 + embeddings" pipeline. Updated
  to "~1500 chars / ~400 tokens" (matches the actual Tier-1
  budget) and added the cross-encoder rerank to the pipeline
  description (matches the Tier-1 table and what PR #5 actually
  shipped).

- "lessons that had be learned" → "had been learned"
- "the same thing over any over" → "over and over"
- "shared knoweldge per project" → "knowledge"
