 `MEMORY.md` is what gets injected on every prompt. It serves two purposes:
 1. **An index** of available drill files (one line per file: name + description)
 2. **A home for universal facts** the LLM should always see (user identity, hard rules, binding feedback)

 When function calling is enabled, coyote exposes:
 
 - `memory__read(name)`: read a specific drill file by its slug
-- `memory__write(name, description, content, scope, type)`: create or replace a drill file (`scope`: `global` | 
-  `workspace`)
+- `memory__write(name, description, content, scope, type, superseded_by?, expires?)`: create or replace a drill file

+- `memory__rename(name, new_name, scope)`: rename a drill file. Its `MEMORY.md` entry and every `[[wikilink]]` to it

+- `memory__delete(name, scope)`: delete a drill file and remove its `MEMORY.md` entry. Reports any `[[wikilinks]]` in

 The LLM is instructed to update `MEMORY.md` whenever it writes a new file. Two silent promotions can happen on a
