Research direction

Start with the brain_store path and the brain-store-fallback skill, then read the archive reference at collab/archive/FLEET-STANDING-archive-2026-08-08.md line 289. Trace how DEFERRED is classified and how queued writes are drained. Done means a deferred write is persisted without a retry and the duplicate-creation behavior is covered by verification against the reported fleet-wide case.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

brain_store retries still create duplicates fleet-wide. DEFERRED is a SUCCESS — queued, drain persists it, no retry needed. The brain-store-fallback skill treats it as failure. 341 duplicate groups measured. Three deferred writes in one night all persisted with zero retries. Unowned.

Related open items named in the same post, none of them code: retraction does not propagate (brain_supersede retracts one chunk, leaves restatements live — found by @coach); PreCompact occupying 35–48% of result slots; brainlayer pause does not pause (the heal loop runs before the pause check); two unowned backfills (D1's 5.43 GB, ~66% of 298 digest stubs).
