Research direction

Trace the memory write and mirror paths in memory-write.ts, memory-extract.ts, and memory-sync.ts, especially push() forwarding block.content to MemoryApi.add/update. Review the consent-related changes in workspace.tsx and link.ts for context. Done requires an agreed content-scanning and redaction design that prevents secrets and PII from leaving the machine when mirroring is enabled.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Found during v0.9.7 release review (Chaos Gremlin/Privacy Auditor persona).

memory-extract.ts's tool description explicitly invites the agent to capture 'warehouse configs found via /discover, query patterns from sql_optimize, naming conventions observed' into memory blocks. Nothing in the write path (memory-write.ts, memory-extract.ts) or the mirror path (memory-sync.ts's push() forwards block.content verbatim to MemoryApi.add/update) does secret-scanning, PII filtering, or redaction before content leaves the machine (when workspace mirroring is enabled).

Compounds the disclosure gap fixed in v0.9.7 (see bind-time consent line added in workspace.tsx/link.ts): once a user knows memory syncs and accepts that, there's still no guardrail preventing a warehouse connection string or customer-identifying value from being captured into a block and mirrored.

Deferred because this needs a content-scanning/redaction design (not a quick patch), and the feature remains gated behind the off-by-default ALTIMATE_WORKSPACE pilot flag.
