When the Memory Gate Met a Real Archive: What 90 Experiments Taught Us About Cheap LLM Slop

How to enforce data integrity against AI-generated slop using MICA. Explore a 11-step session-start validator that locks rules, playbooks, and contracts in code before code is ever touched.

The README Was a Protocol. The Entrypoint Was Still Optional.

README-as-Protocol solved explicit invocation at the schema level. It did not solve entry control at the workflow level. This version adds the missing hierarchy: natural, guided, and forced activation.

Part 6 moves from landscape to operation. This is what MICA looks like when it is actually running inside a real maintenance workflow — session report, self-test, drift, invariants, and operator judgment.

The Model Already Read the README. MICA v0.1.8 Made It a Protocol

v0.1.7 made scoring a contract with fail-closed gates. v0.1.8 recognized that README-first behavior could serve as invocation — and formalized it as a schema-level protocol. This article uses simplified examples to show how the invocation gap that had existed since v0.0.1 was finally closed

The Stake Was Governance Outside the Schema. MICA v0.1.5 Pulled It In

v0.1.0 through v0.1.4 made the schema more implementable. v0.1.5 was the first version to ask a different question — what if governance itself belongs inside the schema? Here is what that looked like, and what it still could not do.

The Schema Existed. The Model Had No Way to Know.

v0.0.1 proved that context could be structured. It did not prove that the structure could govern what shaped the session. Three failures — and why only one made the others meaningless.

Session loss isn't a UX inconvenience — it's a structural failure with compounding consequences for long-running AI projects. This post defines the problem precisely and introduces MICA, a governance schema for AI context management.
