Error message

cave_memory_consent_unsupported: only "local_only" consent is supported

What it means

Fail-closed guard in memory(): consent is 'project_shared', but only 'local_only' consent is implemented. Sharing memory across tenants is a contract this package does not provide, so it is refused at construction.

Solutions

1. Set consent: 'local_only' (or omit it) in memory()
2. Remove project_shared consent until a shared store exists
3. Model cross-project knowledge as explicit context inputs instead
