I'm starting fresh with access to my prior session log and reflection, so I'll quickly load both to get oriented.

I need to check the actual file IDs using list_memory instead of guessing.

Nothing new to add here—the predecessor's reflection already captured the session. There's not much point in noting the file ID format discovery since it's easily retrievable, and silence itself is a valid outcome. Time to close this out.

I've reviewed the prior session notes and found no pending work or listeners to address, so I'll end this session without further action.
