+### T-010: Tiered memory recall
+Description: add typed working, episodic, semantic, and archival memory access over the existing filesystem-backed store.
+Acceptance criteria:
+- tier values are validated and exposed as a public type
+- tier-aware write, read, and list operations reuse existing storage
+- cross-tier search returns the source tier and record key
+- legacy scope-based APIs remain compatible
+- tests cover tier operations, invalid input, and legacy behavior
