"""test_memory_system.py -- M1: the AI memory system's gate.
WHAT THIS PINS, and why each one is a property somebody could take away:
  S*  the store: round-trip, the frontmatter shape other agents parse,
      [[link]] extraction, name validation (a name that escapes the
      directory is a file-write anywhere), type validation
  A*  the audit chain: every write appends, each line carries the hash of
      the one before, and an EDIT TO HISTORY IS DETECTED. The last check is
      the whole point -- a ledger that cannot catch its own editing is
      decoration.
  T*  tombstones: delete removes from the index, keeps the file, records
      who and why. What one agent writes another may retire, never erase.
  H*  the HTTP surface, against a REAL server on a loopback port: health,
      list, read, write, search, 404s, and the openapi contract.
  F*  FLOOD AND CORRUPTION, executed rather than asserted: 40 concurrent
      writers leave the chain intact (the race that used to fork it read as
      tampering), oversized bodies and full stores are refused before any
      write, a crash mid-write leaves the OLD memory intact, and the rate
      limiter buckets per client with a bounded tracking table.
  N*  THE SECURITY BOUNDARY, executable: bound off-loopback with no token
      the server REFUSES TO START; with a token, every route but /health
      demands it, a wrong token is rejected, and the right one works.
      N is the reason the first draft of server.py was blocked and rewritten.
No network beyond 127.0.0.1, no covenant import, no key, no node. Each HTTP
check is bound to a real response object, so a check cannot pass because a
request never happened (M30).
