Memento - Natural Renewal

This release improves reliability, clarity, and operator trust in natural renewal.

No gameplay mechanics were changed, but the renewal pipeline and command behavior have been cleaned up and hardened.

---

🔎 Clearer Explain → Do Workflow

• /memento explain renewal and /memento do renew now operate from the same stable candidate view.
• No more preview drift between “what would renew” and “what actually renews”.
• do renew processes candidates in a controlled, bounded way.

The system is now easier to reason about and safer to operate.

🛡 Improved Region Pruning Safety

Region-based renewal has been hardened:

• Preflight checks before file operations
• Continue-on-failure behavior (one failure does not abort the entire batch)
• Clear, calm operator feedback in edge cases
• Explicit file paths shown if manual action is required

The goal is predictable, explainable behavior — even in rare failure scenarios.

🧠 Internal Memory Model Alignment

Under the hood, the renewal model has been clarified:

• World “memory” is now consistently described in terms of memorability and forgettability.
• Renewal candidates are selected cleanly from this memory model.
• Logging and CSV exports were updated to reflect this.

No changes to how renewal works — just clearer structure and better long-term maintainability.

---

⚠️ Automation Status

Full automatic nightly renewal remains intentionally disabled.

Before enabling automation, the following safeguards will be completed:

• Durable protection against renewal loops
• Additional guarantees around renewal safety on highly active servers

Stone-based renewal remains fully supported and stable.

✔ What Did Not Change

• Witherstone and Lorestone mechanics
• Natural renewal behavior
• Command syntax
• World compatibility
