stale-pending-memory-guardlisted

## When to use Run this guard inside `prior-art-check` whenever a `mempalace_search` hit's body contains action-pending language. Without it, a stale "awaiting review" entry gets reported as current fact even after the upstream work completed — as happened with MemPalace PR #1523 (memory said "awaiting review"; it had already merged). This guard fills a gap that healthcheck 9e does **not** cover: 9e catches technical staleness (are we behind upstream?), not tracking staleness (does our note still match reality?). ## Trigger words Flag any memory hit whose body contains: `pending`, `awaiting`, `needs`, `consider`, `TODO`, `blocked`, `in progress`, `not yet`, `will be`, `outstanding`. ## Steps 1. **Surface hits normally** via `mempalace_search`. 2. **Scan each hit's body** for trigger words (case-insensitive). 3. **Verify flagged entries** before reporting: - PR/issue → `gh pr view <number>` or `gh issue view <number>` - Package/code → freshness check or `git log --oneline -5` - Config/infra → read the live file or service status 4. **Report the verified state**, not the memory text. 5. **Update stale entries** via `mempalace_update_drawer` with corrected status + date. 6. Continue with the rest of `prior-art-check` normally. ## What NOT to flag - Entries describing completed past facts: "was fixed in v3.3.5", "merged 2026-05-15" — historical, not pending. - Entries where "pending" appears in a key name but doesn't imply outstanding action. ## Why this matters
