# A2 EverMem Backend Reachability Audit Operator

Use this skill when the bounded EverMem retrieval slice is blocked and we need
one repo-held verdict about whether the local backend path is absent, unbooted,
unreachable, or mismatched.

## Purpose

- inspect the local EverMemOS repo bring-up prerequisites
- check Docker daemon reachability without starting services
- compare localhost health from `curl` and Python
- emit one repo-held report and packet
- keep the result audit-only and non-bootstrap

## Execute Now

1. Read:
   - [WITNESS_MEMORY_RETRIEVER_REPORT__CURRENT__v1.json](/home/ratchet/Desktop/Codex%20Ratchet/system_v4/a2_state/audit_logs/WITNESS_MEMORY_RETRIEVER_REPORT__CURRENT__v1.json)
   - [EVERMEM_WITNESS_SYNC_REPORT__CURRENT__v1.json](/home/ratchet/Desktop/Codex%20Ratchet/system_v4/a2_state/audit_logs/EVERMEM_WITNESS_SYNC_REPORT__CURRENT__v1.json)
   - [evermem_adapter.py](/home/ratchet/Desktop/Codex%20Ratchet/system_v4/skills/evermem_adapter.py)
   - [work/reference_repos/EverMind-AI/EverMemOS/README.md](/home/ratchet/Desktop/Codex%20Ratchet/work/reference_repos/EverMind-AI/EverMemOS/README.md)
2. Emit one bounded reachability audit only.
3. Do not start services or widen memory claims from this slice.

## Default Outputs

- `system_v4/a2_state/audit_logs/A2_EVERMEM_BACKEND_REACHABILITY_AUDIT_REPORT__CURRENT__v1.json`
- `system_v4/a2_state/audit_logs/A2_EVERMEM_BACKEND_REACHABILITY_AUDIT_REPORT__CURRENT__v1.md`
- `system_v4/a2_state/audit_logs/A2_EVERMEM_BACKEND_REACHABILITY_AUDIT_PACKET__CURRENT__v1.json`

## Quality Gates

- Do not start Docker services from this slice.
- Do not write `.env` or install dependencies from this slice.
- Do not claim startup bootstrap, pi-mono memory, or A2 replacement.
- Do not mutate canonical A2 state or EverMem runtime state from this slice.
