Memory Tab

The Memory tab gives you direct access to workspace markdown files from inside Mission Control — view, edit, create, and delete without leaving the dashboard.

Opening a file

Click any file in the left sidebar to open it. Markdown files (.md) open in a rich editor. JSON, YAML, and text files open as read-only with syntax-appropriate display.

Live hot-reload

When a file is open, Mission Control polls the server every 3 seconds and updates the editor automatically.

• ● live (green) — the file on disk matches what you're viewing; auto-refreshing
• ● unsaved (amber) — you have local edits; the poll skips overwriting your changes until you save

Hitting Save writes your changes to disk and resets the indicator back to ● live.

Creating a file

1. Click + New file at the top of the sidebar
2. Type a filename — .md is appended automatically if omitted
3. Press Enter to create (or Escape to cancel)

The new file is created with empty content, appears in the file tree, and opens immediately for editing.

Only .md files can be created. If the filename maps outside the workspace directory, the request is rejected.

Deleting a file

1. Hover any .md file in the sidebar — an × button appears on the right
2. Click × — the row switches to an inline confirmation: Delete filename.md? yes / no
3. Click yes to delete permanently; no to dismiss

If the deleted file was open, the editor clears and the live-reload poll stops.

Non-.md files (JSON, YAML) cannot be deleted from the UI.
