  "why_included": "V7 uses GPT-5.6 to turn scattered company files into source-linked context for agents, targeting complex work that needs institutional knowledge.",
  "summary": "V7 uses **GPT-5.6** to transform **scattered company files** into context that agents can apply to complex, source-linked work.",
  "practical_implication": "Builders should treat institutional memory as a context pipeline: organize internal material so an agent can retrieve usable evidence and preserve links to its sources.",
  "agent_context": "V7 uses **GPT-5.6** to transform **scattered company files** into context that agents can apply to complex, source-linked work.\n\nBuilders should treat institutional memory as a context pipeline: organize internal material so an agent can retrieve usable evidence and preserve links to its sources.\n\nThe material does not explain retrieval, permissions, freshness, or accuracy, so the reliability of that memory layer remains unaddressed.",

    "meaning": "This confirms institutional memory as an external, source-linked context layer built from company material, rather than knowledge assumed to reside in model parameters. It aligns with prior structured-memory designs while leaving their central trust questions unresolved: how evidence is retrieved, refreshed, permissioned, corrected, and kept traceable as synthesized context changes.",
