Risk explanation

Agents commit and push memory edits with no human in the loop — keep trial repos local, review Dreaming cleanups, and treat shared remotes as writable agent surface; Memory accumulates personal and team context (people, customers, processes); a configured remote turns that into shared sensitive state — decide what may be remembered before connecting one; Young spec (created 2026-10-04, no releases yet); automatic startup and scheduled Dreaming are not included in the trial; not hands-on tested.
