Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Improve memory view quality and lazy topic curation

Extract source-grounded Wiki/Project summaries, scoped admission and bounded canonical repairs. Preserve raw topic incidence, durable semantic curation and explicit audited lazy summaries without schema questions, the knowledge coordinator or the graph explorer. Adapt maintenance coalescing to preserve main's import and segment-collection lifecycle.

 blocked condition. A `pendingOwnerReview` enum alone does not establish blockage;
 any actual blocker and its scope must remain in evidence-backed section prose.
 
+## Maintained knowledge quality
+
+Wiki and Project Views generate substantive source-grounded summaries and
+separate article completeness (`partial` or `sufficient`) from evidence freshness,
+human review, incident closure and project approval. Project briefs retain typed
+assignments, milestones, decisions, risks and open questions without inventing
+missing owners, dates or outcomes. Wiki admission binds the exact queried subject
+and may defer a thin or redundant candidate. Canonical contributions and
+consolidations independently check actual prose, with bounded evidence-grounded
+repairs that preserve stable anchors, citations, protected structures and human
+edits.
+
+Topic maintenance retains complete raw incidence while admitting scoped,
+purposeful concepts through semantic assessment. Candidate reconciliation and
+source-local packing preserve membership and provenance; partial curation and
+completed concept organization are durable checkpoints. Plain topic browsing
+exposes concepts, members and original evidence without another graph API.
+Concept summaries remain pending until an explicit curated-topic detail request
+uses `summarize: true`; generation and independent support auditing share
+concurrent requests and cache successful results in the current generation.
+Evidence/fingerprint changes invalidate that cache. Shutdown, corpus clearing
+and source removal cancel outstanding summary work. Maintenance drain does not
+eagerly summarize every concept.
+
+`curatedTopics` defaults to `true`; setting it to `false` retains the raw-topic
+summary pipeline. No model-backed quality or latency qualification is implied:
+native curation latency and source-synopsis model failures remain follow-up work.
+This pipeline does not add schema question acquisition, corpus-wide question
+discovery, integrated source-plus-view answering, or a new graph explorer.
