ai.memory-item@1 (OpenVibe.AI; Memory M2): one memory item as the person's own API reads it. Tenant is the owner (\`user:usr\_…\`); the text is decrypted only inside AI's process and never logged, never in an error, a span or an event. \`source\_ref\` is the file path relative to the scanned root and the heading, when the item came from a file.
