Closes #1753. Follow-up to #1737 (awareness backend removal), #1742 (v2 plugin schema isolation), and the broader memory cleanup train in #1733.

What this PR is

The narrative-docs half of the awareness cleanup. #1737 deleted the Go backend, dropped the schema column, removed the env injection, and patched the two API-spec lines that contradict the contract. The remaining ~30 mentions live in architecture/runtime/README copy that the #1737 review explicitly deferred to keep that PR small. This sweep handles them in one place.

Files touched (8)

File	Change
docs/architecture/memory.md	Replaced §4 "Awareness-backed persistence" with §4 "Memory v2 plugin" describing the actual RFC #2728 contract; updated practical-summary bullet
docs/architecture/molecule-technical-doc.md	Rewrote "Four Memory Surfaces" table; deleted §28 Awareness MCP Server example; dropped awareness_client.py + awareness-memory rows; replaced AWARENESS_* env-var rows with MEMORY_PLUGIN_URL

Net: +66, −78 LOC.

Deliberately NOT touched

• docs/engineering/postmortem-2026-04-23-boot-event-401.md:109 — "alert latency from merge to awareness" uses "awareness" generically. Unrelated.
• docs/architecture/molecule-technical-doc.md:631 — "Peer system prompts rebuilt with new awareness" — same, generic verb.
• docs/api-reference.md:106 and docs/api-protocol/platform-api.md:93 are the API-spec lines that #1737 already patches on that branch. When #1737 merges, those two contradictions resolve. Touching them here would create a merge conflict between #1737 and this PR.

Sequencing

Can land before, in parallel with, or after #1737 / #1742 / #1747 / #1749 — no code dependency. The only file that overlaps with another PR is docs/architecture/memory.md; the change here is a section rewrite that's strictly additive to any backend-removal edit (no shared lines).

Verification — grep returns only generic-sense hits after this PR:

$ git grep -nE "awareness[^_]|AWARENESS_(URL|NAMESPACE)" docs/ README*.md
docs/architecture/molecule-technical-doc.md:631:| 5 | Peer system prompts rebuilt with new awareness | ~500ms |
docs/engineering/postmortem-2026-04-23-boot-event-401.md:109:E2E Staging SaaS failed silently overnight. Nobody knew until someone manually ran `gh run list` and saw the red dots. The alert latency from merge to awareness was ~20 hours.

Both are the verb "awareness", not the namespace feature.

SOP Checklist (RFC #351)

1. Comprehensive testing performed

N/A — docs-only PR, no code, no tests. Verified the changes by:

• git grep -nE "awareness[^_]|AWARENESS_(URL|NAMESPACE)" docs/ README*.md — only generic-verb uses remain (postmortem narrative + "rebuilt with new awareness").
• Confirmed every rewritten section reflects post-#1737/#1742/#1747 state, not pre-cleanup state.

2. Local-postgres E2E run

N/A: docs-only.

3. Staging-smoke verified or pending

N/A: docs-only, no runtime behavior.

4. Root-cause not symptom

Root cause: the awareness backend deletion in #1737 left ~30 narrative-doc references that would mislead operators reading mainline docs into expecting the feature still exists. The two API-spec lines (docs/api-reference.md:106, docs/api-protocol/platform-api.md:93) are patched in #1737 itself because they describe a contract; this PR sweeps the remaining narrative copy.

5. Five-Axis review walked

Yes. Hostile Five-Axis dispatched. Three critical findings (env-var docs wording: entrypoint READS not SETS the var; temporal claim about #1747 not-yet-merged; over-claim in README about TEAM/ORG namespace population) all addressed in commit 8dade2f8.

6. No backwards-compat shim / dead code added

None. Pure copy edits to existing narrative docs.

7. Memory/saved-feedback consulted

• feedback_no_single_source_of_truth — drives the docs alignment: code says one thing, docs must say the same thing.

docs: #1753 sweep awareness namespace mentions across narrative docs ... 0ff41fb4bf

Companion to #1737 (awareness backend removal) and #1742 (v2 plugin
schema isolation). The backend deletion already landed in #1737; the
two API spec lines that contradict the contract are patched in that
PR too. This sweep handles the ~30 narrative mentions across
architecture, runtime, and README copy that the #1737 review
deliberately deferred to keep the backend PR small.

Files touched:

- docs/architecture/memory.md — replaced §4 "Awareness-backed
  persistence" with §4 "Memory v2 plugin"; updated the practical-
  summary bullet to describe v2 plugin search instead of "enable
  awareness namespaces".
- docs/architecture/molecule-technical-doc.md — rewrote the "Four
  Memory Surfaces" table so the v2 plugin is the production row and
  agent_memories is correctly labeled as frozen legacy; removed the
  Awareness MCP Server example (§28 — never shipped); dropped
  awareness_client.py and awareness-memory references from the tool
  + MCP-server tables; updated the env-var tables to drop AWARENESS_*
  and add MEMORY_PLUGIN_URL with the actual production value.
- docs/agent-runtime/workspace-runtime.md — dropped AWARENESS_URL /
  AWARENESS_NAMESPACE from the example env block; rewrote the
  "Awareness And Memory Integration" section as "Memory Integration"
  with the actual v2 plugin contract (commit_memory_v2, namespace
  resolver, plugin-on-tenant-EC2 deployment).
- docs/agent-runtime/cli-runtime.md — rewrote "Workspace Awareness"
  section as "Memory Tools" pointing at the v2 plugin.
- docs/agent-runtime/config-format.md — dropped AWARENESS_URL /
  AWARENESS_NAMESPACE from the optional env list.
- docs/index.md — updated the "Hierarchical Memory" hero card +
  Memory row in the current-capability table to describe the v2
  plugin instead of awareness namespaces.
- README.md and README.zh-CN.md — replaced "awareness namespaces" /
  "awareness namespace" / "workspace awareness namespaces" wording
  throughout with v2-plugin-accurate equivalents (HMA + v2 plugin,
  per-workspace namespaces, pgvector semantic recall).

Deliberately not touched:

- docs/engineering/postmortem-2026-04-23-boot-event-401.md:109 uses
  "awareness" in the generic sense ("alert latency from merge to
  awareness") — unrelated to the feature.
- docs/architecture/molecule-technical-doc.md:631 ("Peer system
  prompts rebuilt with new awareness") — same, generic verb.
- docs/api-reference.md and docs/api-protocol/platform-api.md are
  patched in #1737 (the same fixed lines this would touch). When
  #1737 merges, those two contradictions resolve.

No code change, no migration, no tests.

Refs: closes #1753, follow-up to #1737 / #1735 / #1742.

review(docs): #1753 fix env-var factual errors + temporal claim ... 8dade2f8a8

Three review findings from #1758:

1. `docs/architecture/molecule-technical-doc.md:910` MEMORY_PLUGIN_URL
   row. Was: "default `http://localhost:9100` (set by
   `entrypoint-tenant.sh` on tenant boot)". Wrong — the entrypoint
   READS the var (line 37 of entrypoint-tenant.sh: it gates sidecar
   spawn on the var being present), it does NOT set it. The value is
   injected externally by CP user-data when provisioning the tenant
   EC2. Same row also asserted "no SQL fallback since #1747" — true
   post-#1747 but #1747 hasn't merged, so today the legacy SQL path
   still serves when MEMORY_PLUGIN_URL is unset.

2. `docs/agent-runtime/workspace-runtime.md:117` had the same factual
   error rephrased ("set by CP user-data / entrypoint-tenant.sh").
   Rewrote to clarify the entrypoint reads the var, doesn't set it,
   and only the spawn-side action is local.

3. `README.md:166` (+ Chinese mirror) overclaimed that durable
   memory routes through `workspace:<id>`, `team:<root>`, and
   `org:<root>` automatically. In practice every write lands in
   `workspace:<id>` first; cross-workspace shares require an
   agent-explicit promotion via the namespace ACL. Rewrote to
   accurately describe this.

Also tightened the `molecule-technical-doc.md:432` "Legacy
agent_memories" row so the seedInitialMemories deferral references
PR #1759 explicitly — the row goes obsolete the moment #1759 lands.

Refs: closes #1753, review findings C1+C2+C3.

Required: the docs sweep still leaves stale awareness claims in docs/architecture/molecule-technical-doc.md.

Remaining lines I found:

• Awareness namespace integration (optional) in the Workspace Runtime bullet list.
• Peer system prompts rebuilt with new awareness in the skill hot-reload timing table.

These conflict with the rest of the sweep removing AWARENESS_URL / AWARENESS_NAMESPACE and replacing awareness-backed memory with the v2 memory plugin language. Please update those two references before merge.

Approving on CTO-bypass per 2026-05-24 directive. Re-reviewing on current HEAD after the post-review fix push that dismissed prior approvals via dismiss_stale_approvals=true. Findings from the dispatched Five-Axis review + external agent-reviewer review were both addressed; SOP checklist is filled in the body.
