Memory

The brain — optional, and not read by any audit

This page describes the brain, corral’s optional coordination daemon. Nothing on it is required for a verdict: corral certify, the GitHub Action, verify, ui, seal and scans never contact a brain. And nothing on it is read by an audit — an audit’s prompts are built from the goal, the code and its symbols, never from shared memory, skills or a prior run. See the brain, and what it is not.

The Memory tab lists the brain’s own memory corpus — a shared corpus of execution-verified audit findings (patterns, not code) that a brain mission worker can search. No audit reads it — as the note above says, an audit’s prompts are built from the goal, the code and its symbols, and corral certify --local never contacts a brain at all. An entry doesn’t get in by a model asserting it; it gets in because a run actually caught it — a mutant a suite missed, a dead assertion a critic flagged and a jail confirmed was really inert. See memory tiers and the learning loop for how an entry moves from advisory to vetted. Every entry links “▸ see it in DuckDB” back to the run that proved it.
