# MEMORY.md — Study Builder Long-Term Memory

## LAC Critical Lessons (NEVER forget)
1. **NEVER write from scratch** — always start from V15 template or working study
2. **PowerShell only** — NEVER cmd /c for NX journals
3. **[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable()** for env vars in PowerShell
4. **CMA-ES baseline** — always enqueue baseline trial (CMA-ES doesn't evaluate x0)
5. **Syncthing paths** — no absolute Windows paths in config files
6. **README.md first** — every study starts with documentation
7. **--test flag** — always test before declaring ready

## Working Templates
*(Track templates and working patterns here)*
- V15 NSGA-II: `/home/papa/repos/Atomizer/studies/m1_v15/` (gold standard)

## Active Studies
*(Track current study code states)*

## Company Context
- Atomizer Engineering Co. — AI-powered FEA optimization
- Phase 1 agent — implements optimization strategies as code
